Alcohol consumption is explicit and alcohol is a known vasodilator. Aspartame consumption is often unsuspected because you have to specifically check if you are ingesting it (accidentally or otherwise) which would skew data from self-reports.

Note (per my other comment) the connection between aspartame and migraines is not extremely strong. Nonetheless, I've found one source that labels possible formaldehyde sensitivity.

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/579335 (http://whilesciencesleeps.com/pdf/328.pdf)

If this is the actual mechanism, it would suggest that those people should avoid formaldehyde-containing foods in general, like apples, bananas, grapes, onions, carrots, seafood, beef, and poultry.
I haven't voted on that comment, but it's overconfident, it jumps to conclusions too quickly.

It's possible aspartame is bad for migraines. Given that migraines are really bad, then you might as well avoid aspartame, it's not like you're losing much compared to the potential gain.

But what's very bad is to talk like we know for sure. Maybe cheese causes migraines, maybe alcohol causes migraines, maybe not enough cheese causes migraines. Maybe we'll think something completely different a few years from now, because collecting good information is just incredibly hard.

The truth is medical science hasn't figured it out yet. It's okay to try things and see if it works for you, but do it with care and humility. There's no secret knowledge being censored here. But overconfidence ends up doing more harm than good, so we should be more careful than that.

I too wish the dogmatic hate of anything in particular would stop, but I also wish the stubborn assertion that the decades-long hate of JS is all dogmatic would stop. As long as JS is extremely wide-spread and has very stand-out negatives as compared to almost all other ecosystems, the hate will understandably continue.

I'm not understanding the point.

In every single decent language with a static type system you'll have to convince the type checker that data coming from outside the boundaries is of a certain shape by parsing it. If you're not doing it, then you are implicitly assuming it's of some type and you risk runtime type errors.

E.g. in Elm you do have to parse every single thing coming in from outside the boundaries both from http requests or other external ports.
This article references 4 Reddit posts, and for three of them, it seems pretty obvious that the driver themselves were involved in either the pulling of the video from the Amazon van, or were involved in posting the footage online. The only one that is not immediately clear is the dog attack video. The article also says that drivers themselves have the ability to pull video from the van.

It feels like the article is written in a way that assumes the drivers in the videos did not consent and were not aware their videos were being posted online. Skimming the article again, it doesn't seem to mention at all that the Reddit posts appear to be made by Amazon drivers themselves. :/

The way to deal with this is to avoid the rat race and all the crap that comes with it: lifestyle bloat, houses that own you, fancy cars, etc. it’s a rigged game.

Your job should serve your purposes. Once it stops doing that, something has to change or you’re going to be unhappy.

The curse of midlife is being able to see the need and justification for bullshit like the rat race, knowing full well you perpetuate it in your own small way by participating, while also becoming cognizant that there’s more to life than empty status signaling. You see the extent to which people self-medicate to keep themselves in the race, and the sheer number of people who simply disengage in some way because they can’t deal with it.

The only way forward is through.

This line of thinking is precisely why node and TypeScript are so pervasive. It has nothing to do with them being the right tool for the right job and everything to do with perceived lower barrier to entry and resistance to learning better tools. I would never try and use a hammer to saw a board in half, and yet that's exactly what people try and do with node/TS

> It really is not, either in theory or more importantly in practice (cf the billion devices that ship Android or shitware ARM trinkets that ship Yocto builds with forked kernels that can't be updated, userspace blob binaries, etc.)

Android is not desktop, and as I understand it, neither are yocto-devices?

We are specifically talking here about market share of desktops, not market share of linux-kernel or the gnu-userland. And while there is some overlap, I don't think it makes much sense to mix those statistics as both have different purposes.
I believe what you noticed is true. That Google Maps does have a tendency to prefer slightly more difficult roads as "shortcuts".

For example, Waze, which is another decent GPS app that Google owns and sources data from, even has an option for this!

It is called something like "avoid difficult roads/intersections".

So my take on this is that people try to organize themselves to death.

They take TODO app and think it will help them become next Bill Gates - just like waking up earlier or reading more books.

Problem is waking up earlier or reading more books and so TODO apps won't do anything for you.

TODO app will help you achieve a goal if you first have a goal and something real not like "become rich" and then you start putting in "get milk, write essay".

Don't put getting milk on your todo list.

Try to write an essay - well put steps or things you have to read first to write an essay, let's say you write an essay on Seneca, well obviously your todo should contain:

- read on shortness of life by Seneca
- read Seneca wiki page and take notes
- read Seneca wikiquotes page and take notes
- write an outline
- write out first paragraph introducing reader to Seneca based on wiki page notes
- write out paragraph on "On Shortness of Life"

If you have clear goal todo list is useful, if you want to manage your whole life and maintain it in todo app - that is not doable.
I had to finally give up on Google Maps in my car because after 15 minutes or so into a route, Google maps would start to lag reality by about 20 seconds. It got very difficult to actually use to drive a route. I thought it was poor GPS signal, my head unit’s slowness with Carplay, etc. Finally I tried Apple Maps out of desperation and it just worked.

As a bonus, it is better at giving useful driving directions. It will say things like “the right at the second stop sign”, which is a great signal to use to a driver.

I do occasionally use Google maps for finding businesses, but that’s it.

Location - NJ, USA. Car - Kia Telluride with CarPlay.
I’m no longer sold on talk therapy. And I recently discovered other modalities that significantly moved the needle for me.

As someone who spent 5+ years in talk therapy, I’ve been getting DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) treatment for about 4 months and god damn am I grateful for both the individual and group therapy. DBT skill based: it’s not only “talking about your feelings.” Concrete skills are learned. There’s homework prescribed.

DBT — full model — has taught me how to 1) regulate my emotions 2) apply distress tolerance skills for when I’ve breached my threshold

Another modality that’s really piqued my interest is IFS.

> how do you justify the friction of VSCode (as you yourself put it, VSCode isn't perfect) when you have tools such as vim, neovim, emacs, or whatever else that are designed to help reduce friction for a modest but steep initial learning curve.

Because VSCode also is designed to reduce friction for a modest but (less) steep initial learning curve.

I have used vim a lot. I've also used VSCode a lot. It sounds like you haven't dived into VSCode in the same way you've dived into Vim. I'm trusting you that your Vim setup, after tweaking it to your liking and diving into it, is perfect for you. So I'm asking you to trust me (and the other commenter), and my VSCode setup, after tweaking it and diving into it, is perfect for me.

Using Vim emulation in VSCode, plus the richness of VSCode configurability, I have an environment I'm over the moon about, and it was less steep of a learning curve than Vim.

You seem to think that anything that isn't Vim or Emacs can not compare. I'm asking you to reconsider that.
Firefox containers are tab groups on steroids. Tab groups are just aesthetic while Firefox containers can not only group and colour code the tabs but isolate cache and stuff. This means you can use two gmail accounts in two separate tabs. It also means you can isolate you personal bank or other websites so that other data harvesting website cant get to that information. :)

Firefox containers have been there long back before tab groupings were available in Chrome as well.

> We must distinguish between theoria, praxis, and poiesis.

Must we?

> When I clean my house, I don't do this for its own sake, I do this for the sake of having a clean house to live in.

Why not both? A clean house isn’t necessary for survival. Why do you enjoy a clean house? For its own sake perhaps? Many would argue that we do these things for the sake of them as much as we do these things out of necessity.

Reframed slightly, we do many things for the sake of doing them, and we seem to enjoy bringing this mindset to the necessities of life.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi explores this extensively in Flow, and it’s a recurrent theme in many contemplative traditions.

> When I cook dinner, I don't cook it for its own sake, I cook it to feed myself and others.

Again, why not both? If the only value gained from cooking is sustenance, why do we enjoy dessert? Why do we enjoy it more when other people are with us?

I’m not saying we don’t do things for reasons or that it’s uninteresting to assign labels to those reasons and explore them, but such intellectual/philosophical framings are ultimately just reductions of unfolding experience into a low resolution explanation of reality relative to our immersion in it.

Should we explore these ideas? Yes.

Must they be the foundation from which we explore other ideas? I don’t think so. Sometimes, sure.
His point remains. If someone is so uncomfortable in all other languages that they have to pick a bad tool for the job, then they are probably not a good developer. Obviously, we can't always pick or even know the absolute 'best' tool, but good grief there are a lot of better choices than typescript for cli tools.

Santa Cruz, CA has this. If you are a K-12 student, a child under a certain height, or a downtown worker, the bus pass is free. Everyone else pays the fare or buys a pass. The pass is also available in their app, so no extra card needed in your wallet.

That said, SCMTD bus drivers are allowed to kick anyone off that is being disruptive or a safety hazard. I have also seen them refuse to allow someone entry due to a pattern of belligerence.

The biggest obstacle at this point is the lack of drivers. With housing more and more unaffordable, many non-tech or non-boutique jobs are getting harder and harder to fill. This leaves unexpected gaps in service that can annoyingly delay your travels.
as I recall, yes this was it
Yes the problem is that the research system rewards publishing papers, but most of the work is collecting the data. So if you release your data then other groups can write papers based on your effort for far less cost. It's sort of analogous to the problem of open source business models in the software world: if company A writes the code and releases it for free and earns money from running a cloud service, and company B just offers a cloud service, then the second company can get much higher margins because they don't have to develop it.

Unfortunately it's not easy to see what the alternatives are, beyond simply not funding research through government/foundation grants. When science is paid for by companies you don't have this incentive issue because the research is judged based on (ultimately) whether it leads to successful products, not whether it leads to lots of papers getting published. You have other incentive issues of course.

I'm a fan of the Apple Maps UI over Google and they have some really nice features like the 3D view. However, the one problem I have with Apple Maps is that their satellite imagery is often times out of date compared to Google. This doesn't matter as much for getting directions, but I enjoy looking around on satellite view to find hidden beaches or get to know my surroundings better than a street map can offer.
"unrelated reasons" should not be an acceptable excuse though. either state the reason or it goes into the trash. and if they were private reasons you can still contact them to confirm they left on their own volition and/or they didn't finish the trial without getting into specifics.

I'd argue that "I prefer the way this vendor does things and I can't leave" is still vendor lock-in. There may be different reasons as to why you can't leave, even if it is just personal preferences.

Google can offer this because you are using a single, fairly unified, ecosystem and they own both your account and browser. However, this ecosystem does not offer interoperability so you are effectively locked-in.

Ironically, this feature is exactly why I can't use Chrome or login on accounts on Android applications: this will auto-sync everything and log you into Google, make logging out very hard, enroll your devices on Google Workspace if that's a professional account, ...

It is better to choose for Javascript over Typescript, so you don't have the translation, and you know the system where you running on, and you can build for that Node version.
Typescript makes it indeed too complex, keep it simple with just Node.js without a build step, or use indeed another language like Go or Rust.

Thank you. The journal article is a whole lot less sensational. “ In this Article, we argue that venture predation can harm consumers, distort market incentives, and misallocate capital away from genuine innovations. We consider reforms to antitrust law and securities regulation to deter it.”
On the other hand, it's quite plausible that TS is one of only a small number of languages that you know that all your co-workers will be proficient in.

And in general I expect that the actual work I'm doing will be more interesting than the programming language I get to use. I really enjoy learning new things, and digging into new programming languages just for the sake of it, but when I need to actually ship something I don't want my programming language to be the exciting part of what I'm doing.

> maybe as an intermediate step we could make available all the recordings to the peer reviewers

The issue is clearly not the amount of data available to peer reviewers considering it's already easy to detect major flaws in a quarter of published peer reviewed research. The issue is that peer reviewers do a shoddy job which should surprise no one having ever published peer reviewed research.

And to be fair why should they do better? It's generally unpaid, it's poorly paid when it is paid and it's not particularly well considered.
> It's clear that it's not the noun "content" but the adjective, defined as "pleased with your situation and not hoping for change or improvement".

If it was clear, I wouldn't have brought it up. Judging by the Talk section of that page, I'm not the only one who finds that choice of words confusing. It doesn't really matter if it's lifted from a cited article; that article isn't the Wikipedia page.
