Pavoo. It didn't have art related CSAM, which in the end there are just drawings, but real people CSAM. Not porn, just top nudes which in Japan they have an ambiguous stance. Thus, blocking pavoo.net on every Mastodon instance was almost mandatory to keep your sanity in good levels.

On Japan and nudity, I know some of it it's being used not as sexualization, but as a hard prank (Takeshi's Castle, hidden camera pranks on toilets with falling walls, nudity jokes at Doraemon/Crayon Shin Chan, Dragon Ball and Bulma...), but for sure in this case didn't have an intention to ridicule anyone.

Akibahara had a mall where on a single flat there were magazines were displaying illegal nudity as if they were used as a sports magazine or something like that. Creepy stuff. It seems the Japanese people are sexually represend in their teens so they can hyperfocus at school over anything else but then this creates "sexually disabled" adults with lots of troubles on relationships and a hard lack of teenage discoveries.

Is it? Does having fancy stuff bring you happiness or actually using it?

That’s what I did in my 20ies. I’d freelance during winter with some cross country skiing tours in local woods thrown in. Then wrap up my projects in spring, spend the summer cycling and amateur racing and then start looking for new projects as season wrapped up. I didn’t have money for dance trips but I had a ton of great time on my bicycles and raced at relatively high amateur level.

Would I be happier working 3 months more and spending a couple weeks riding in fancy places with less stamina instead of riding a lot but locally all that time? I don’t think so.

There’s another legendary example in my circles. Dude bought a very nice car. Put on expensive wheels, installed engine tune and all that jazz. He was completely out of money, couldn’t go on any road trip for a while. His girlfriend wasn’t excited to adore the car sitting at the curb whole holiday.

Pretty hard. There is no centralized book registry.

All you need to publish a book is a valid ISBN10/EAN13. You can buy those online in bulk. And technically you don't need one, but generally if you want to sell it enmasse you want one.

Given its owned by Amazon you'd think they'd limit it to known ASINs but then I guess they can't account for rare or old books that predate the isbn system.

No, I’m looking in the clipboard for a valid path in my app and routing to it found and discarding if not. All routing is local to the client app and nothing is sent to the server.

If we’re taking hundreds of thousands of clients and it works 99% of the time, then the risk of it not working in that 1% of cases is acceptable to our product team. Worst cast scenario is that it fails, the user tries again, and no clipboard is needed on the second attempt because universal links work now that app is installed.

This value in the clipboard might be something like: /path-to-experience?id=something

I just stew it and then eat it with custard.

Chop it into pieces, put it in a pan with some sugar and possible a little bit of water. Heat it up and the sugar should help draw out some liquid and cook it until the pieces become soft or disintegrate. Takes about 5-10 minutes.

The US is too far gone for this to make sense. “Walking to get groceries”, I mean jeez this means something utterly different in the US vs Europe.

Here, walking to get groceries means depending on what I need, I walk down the road to get some daily fresh produce, or a few minutes more to get more variety of non perishables, cleaning products etc. It’s a lovely walk, it’s relaxing, and I come back with at most 3-4kg. I do this regularly, and I can do it on my way home when I take the metro for whatever.

In the US, it’s literally something you have to plan for. No kidding you don’t want to walk; one of the goals is to minimise time spent especially if it’s not relaxing time.

I also really hope to see the open web make a resurgence, but I have no faith in regulation as the answer. I'm not actually sure how regulating the open web would work, seeing as regulations require laws to be written by someone deciding what can and can't be done on the internet.

Bottom-up solutions are often the hardest, and a massive undertaking compared to top-down alternatives, but if the goal is am open web I can only see that working bottom up.

Not least of all, top-down regulations that actually improve the open web would be extremely difficult when companies like Google have nearly unlimited funds and most regulators and politicians are already well accustomed to being captured. Even on a good day I would expect well-meaning regulators to ask the "experts" at Google how it's supposed to work and what the regulations should be. The FAA allows Boeing to regulate itself as does the FDA with pharmaceutical companies, why would this be different?

The first time I came across the use of “autist” as a semipejorative term of endearment was on IRC in the late 1990s warez scene, around the same time as the concept of neurodivergence was gaining traction.

Seems to me that the rules of debate should be that any time a debater brings up one of these 'kritik' arguments they should be instantly disqualified for being non-germane to the topic.

Further, I thought debate judges were supposed to leave their personal biases at the door and judge the quality of the arguments. Just as judges in a courtroom are supposed to do. (But yeah, I get that real judges seem to often let personal bias influence their decisions, and justice suffers as a result.)

Not what I was talking about.

Some airlines in my memory went from only having refundable tickets to having both types, and for some reason the price of the nonrefundable ones after the change ends up being about the same as the price of the (refundable) ones before that.

Also, well, I don’t know what Delta does—for some airlines, the advertising term “flexible” means some sort of option to change your flight as well as one to refund the ticket, being a tier above “refundable”—but if the buyer requesting a refund is the only possible cost, we should have roughly $444 = $638 / [1 - P(refund)], whereby P(refund) = 30%, and that feels ridiculously high. Not implausibly high (I’m used to a difference of 2x or more), but high enough that I’m dubious.
This is a weird article, and one of the weirdest features that leaps out at me is that they are treating "psychotherapy" as a monolithic thing to discuss and be studied. There are, of course, many forms of psychotherapy, such as CBT, EMDR, IFS, etc. etc. So I don't see how any one monolithic study of "psychotherapy" can evaluate its effectiveness, even if they are going to focus solely on depression, and indeed, this article only addresses depression.

Furthermore, of course, depression does not occur in a vacuum, and in my case it was the tip of the iceberg, and future sessions would progressively refine and broaden the diagnostic landscape.

Most of all, the positive experiences I have gained from psychotherapy are not simply talking to a professional guy and having him validate my feelings, but rather I've learned practical tools for coping and alleviating symptoms. You may work out of this year's depression, only to find yourself depressed again in five years. If you had taken drugs, then you come crawling back to the psychiatrist and the pharmacy again and you get back on drugs. If you had taken psychotherapy, then you may not need to return to the psychotherapist, if you have been equipped with the right tools, you could have them in a notebook still, and then you just do some checklists, you follow steps, and you've got your skills for coping back at your fingertips again.

Granted, I don't believe that psychotherapy is the be-all-end-all of curing mental illness. In fact, psychotherapy was invented in competition to, or perhaps as a replacement for, auricular confessions to a Catholic (or Orthodox) priest. The Protestant Reformation had eviscerated Germany's ability to cope with the mind's inmost challenges, and the common people had lost their most trusted human confidants, the ones who ministered in the person of Christ. So Freud and his Freunde came up with a way to whisper secrets to a man, have them held in confidence, and maybe even get some advice in return. But essentially, it was just a secular façade to compensate for a sacrament which had been efficacious for thousands of years.

Prompt:

Implement Fizz Buzz in TECO.

ChatGPT:

Fizz Buzz is a simple programming task often used in coding interviews. The task is to print the numbers from 1 to 100, but for multiples of 3 print "Fizz" instead of the number, and for multiples of 5 print "Buzz". For numbers which are multiples of both 3 and 5 print "FizzBuzz".

Implementing Fizz Buzz in TECO would be quite a challenge due to the language's design and constraints. TECO is not really meant for such tasks, as it is a text editor and correction programming language. However, I'll provide a rough example of how you might implement FizzBuzz in TECO, although it's somewhat complex and involves a few workarounds:

0uz ! Store 0 in register Z (counter) !
<qz+1uz ! Increment Z !
qz:< ! Inner loop, executes while Z is less than or equal to 100 !
qz\3%<iFizz$> ! If Z is divisible by 3, insert "Fizz" !
qz\5%<iBuzz$> ! If Z is divisible by 5, insert "Buzz" !
qz\3%qz\5%"nqz\*A$' ! If Z is not divisible by 3 or 5, insert Z (as a character) !
ia ! Insert a newline !
>' ! End of inner loop !
> ! End of outer loop !

This is a very rough, and not perfect, implementation. It doesn't properly handle numbers over 9, because TECO doesn't really support integer arithmetic in the way modern languages do. When we print a number, we're actually printing a character with the corresponding ASCII code, so numbers over 9 would turn into non-digit characters. Implementing FizzBuzz properly would likely involve manually converting numbers to digit strings, which would make the program quite a bit more complex.

In practice, you would rarely if ever use TECO for this sort of task. TECO was designed for editing text, not for general-purpose programming, and it lacks many of the features that make modern languages suitable for tasks like FizzBuzz. But, this does demonstrate some of the ways you can use TECO's unique features to solve problems.
> BPY represents a shift to turning user interfaces into a decision theatre that, by redefining long established elements, tricks users into performing work for the system they’re using.

Spot on.

A good example is Credit Karma UK's email alerts for credit score rise or fall, offering a button "Find out why". A click doesn't find out why. It lands you on a page of credit record info which might allow you to find out why, with considerable work and upsell-dodging.

As here, much BPY is simply false advertising at the UI core.

Ask HN: Who to Hire? Proactive or Skillful?
I run an agency where I hire part-time developers. Due to the huge cost of developers. I have to choose between developers with less credentials, less skills, but they are proactive and ready to learn but I have to cross-check all the work they do.

Or Developers who have good credentials but are uninterested and I need to micromanage and push them a lot.

Who amongst the 2 should I hire?
At least at the beginning not everybody had hardware that supported DMA for disk access (and those that had it, not always had it configured properly).

Having much calcium among vegetables does not mean having enough calcium as a human food.

Your link uses the silly "cup" unit of measure from which it is hard to assess which is the real calcium content.

The right way to show the content of a nutrient in some food is to show how many kilograms or pounds you must eat daily to provide enough of that nutrient.

In the case of calcium the best case that I have seen for various vegetables is that you would need to eat at least 1 kilogram per day, based on the elemental analysis.

However this is far too optimistic, because when cooking the vegetables a part of the calcium may be lost and another part will be bound in insoluble compounds and it will not be absorbed in the intestine after eating.

So a more realistic estimation is that even for the vegetables with the highest content of calcium you might need to eat at least 2 or 3 kg per day.

For nuts and legumes it is impossible to approach even 1 kg of daily intake, as that would include too much energy in starch or fat.

So only leafy vegetables would avoid gaining weight, but eating kilograms per day would be not only unpleasant, but also harmful.

I happen to be a vegan, so I have studied carefully my alternatives and the best for me is to add some calcium phosphate powder to my food, together with the table salt. I use phosphate and not another calcium salt, because even if all seeds and nuts, including all legumes, have large amounts of phosphorus, most of it is contained in phytic acid, which is harmful, so I use preparation methods that remove much of the phytic acid, but they also remove most of the phosphorus, so I compensate that by adding the calcium as calcium phosphate.

Sounds like a fun game, Factorio. Although I'd rather apply those skills to problems of my own choosing vs. build virtual factories that produce virtual junk.

From the article:

"As it turns out, there is a flip side to the fact that some problems can be automated away: it means that, over time, a larger share of the total problems in the world stem from things that can't be automated away. Good luck stringing together some API calls to fix jealousy or hubris".

There's the other thing: some things simply don't need automation. Yes there's coffee makers. But I don't mind to put on kettle, grind beans, and pour on hot water - at all. "Making cup of coffee" is just a placeholder for "hydrate body w/ something I like + short pause", rolled into 1. Useful for sorting thoughts, resting body after physical activity, etc.

Likewise note-taking apps, calendars with reminder alarms etc are a thing. But pen & paper still works. Some people seem to forget that.

Same thing for 'smart' lightbulbs, internet connected fridges & similar crap.
