Maybe the problem is your radar. I understand that extreme ends of the social spectrum are frustrating for people supposedly not caught up in whatever the thing is, especially if it’s off topic, but if “anything” sets it off, you might consider recalibrating.

People taking offense to every damned thing, not accepting apologies or remediation, hijacking conversations about an off topic politicized issue, or other similar disruptive behavior is one thing, but people standing up for themselves or asking for a little common courtesy and respect like anyone else sounds reasonable to me. If someone, not necessarily you, were to lump both of those people together and dismiss, participate in bad behavior, or fail to hold others accountable for it, then they would be the problem, and are generally why exhaustive and/or “woke” reactions are born.

I tend to skip breakfast if I don’t have something very easy to digest at hand and unfortunately cereal is that. And I haven’t found other alternatives. My stomach is very weak in the morning but I don’t want to skip breakfast.

I think a lot of their issues with bug bounties only apply if the project is pretty popular. If it increases the number of developers working on an issue/feature from 0 to 1, that's a win. Their analysis is why it's bad to go from 1 to many.

IMHO the US government is extremely corrupt. Many important regulatory agencies are captured by industry and run with a revolving door of conflict of interest. Corporate donors have basically completely captured Congress. We have a melding of industry and government, seen most visibly through our foreign policy, that makes us a quasi-fascist authoritarian country.

It mentions that “on September 1, 2023, the court unsealed a qui tam lawsuit against Penn State University” (the lawsuit being discussed here)

Where is it possible to see the lawsuit doc(s)?
Right on. My wife had some tremendous neck pain for days when we lived I Germany. Something that here in Mexico would have been treated by ibuprofen , until it receded.

The German doctor basically redered her to a masseur (sp?) Prescribing massages until the pain subsided. After some days, it did.

I have something to add to this. As for me during the years I’ve mentioned that that anxiety is highly tied with a purpose of a given conservation.

Like, things go more smoothly when I do them for work compared to other purposes. It's like when I'm doing something for work, it's easier, as if I have a real reason to communicate with someone, unlike other times. Although it doesn’t annoy me much, I’m interested to know how widespread this is?
"part of a balanced breakfast / diet" always has been weasel words to the effect of "if you eat healthy foods as well as the product, then your overall diet will be somewhat healthy on balance".

We recently had an Indian LinkedIn nutrition influencer literally reading the listed nutrition information on the back of a Bournvita* (a malt chocolate which you mix into milk) - dude got DMCA-ed and nearly sued. These companies get really worked up when you start affecting their bottomline.

*Might have been some other similar milk ~addictive~ (meant to say “additive” but the original version also works) for kids.
It weighs EIGHTY MEGABYTES,

And had you put in a bit more time and effort you could have gotten it down to 8 MB, and with even more effort, 800KB. But you didn't because it worked and it doesn't matter and no ones care and you had more important things to do with your time. Multiply this by the entire software industry and you have your answer.
Only my kids love whole fat milk (it's kinda scary how much of it they drink, but then being vegetarian it does provide a decent amount of protein and fat). I just use it for coffee.
Use of the word "content" always bugs me, in the same way that large corporations use "product". To large corporations, anything is "product". Toothpaste, cars, cookies, house loans.

Using a single word, "content" or "product", to categorize a large variety of objects or artifacts indicates contempt for nuance. I hate it.
Sadly, I think AI will force a complete de-anonymization of the internet.

No accounts without government ID, no connectivity without it either, open access points illegal, and so on.

Governments and police would love this, and with AI, spam (as you elude to) is going to rise to a new level.

And there are already issues, with most of the net's citizens, unable to detect fraudulent posts.

Countries have already had civil wars, thanks to Cambridge Analytics, and disinformation will only make this worse.

Long story short, accountability is impossible with anonymity, and so to sue, to charge with crimes, I sadly think the internet will soon change.
This looks a lot safer

Question to those who are better educated: I seem to remember from school several decades ago that one of the problems of iron production is reducing the carbon content of iron, which takes a tremendous amount of energy. Would that not negatively impact the CO2 balance of iron as a fuel?
Consider the Egg McMuffin meal, which is a bundle of an Egg McMuffin, hash browns, and a small coffee.

That comes to 455 calories, 49g carbs (3g of which are sugar), 21g fat, 19g protein, 4g fiber, 1090mg sodium, and 250mg cholesterol.

That's 40% of calories from carb, 43% from fat, 17% from protein. That mix is fine on the carbs, a little high on the fat, and a little low on the protein.

The cholesterol is high (over 80% of the RDA for a 2000 calories diet), but for most people dietary cholesterol doesn't have much affect on blood cholesterol so this is only an issue for some.

The sodium is a little under 50% of the RDA for a 2000 calorie diet, so might be something to think about in conjunction with your lunch, dinner, and snacking plans for the rest of the day.

That's the key here. For most people there is no need to have every item of every meal or snack be nutritionally great in every way. Things just need to not be so far out of whack that they will cause immediate harm (e.g., not cause a large spike in blood sugar if that is something your body has trouble handling well).

What you need is for the average over time to be good, where the amount of variation you can have over the averaging period is larger the shorter the averaging period.

I also worked part time jobs. Classic paper boy and gas station attendant.

The reason we dont want our kids to have jobs is that their plates are already full with volenteer work and club and varsity sports that often overlap. If they also worked part time jobs it would eat into their free range time which we also think is important.
The contributors are expected to follow code of conduct: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/.github/CODE_OF_C...

At least these lines sounds reasonable:

Examples of behavior that contribute to creating a positive environment include:

- Using welcoming and inclusive language.

- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences.

- Gracefully accepting constructive criticism.

- Helping another person accomplish their own goals.

- Showing empathy towards others.

- Showing appreciation for others' work.

- Validating someone else's experience, skills, insight, and use cases.

A pity the leadership doesn't appear to hold themselves to the same standard.

I didn't have anything but a passing interest in Zig before, but this is a huge red flag about the project.

I've found this is largely solved by strictly separating plain config and secrets, and then having secrets pull from GCP secret manager / vault / whatever.

You can then commit all the config (including the secret identifiers) and it all just works so long as you're authenticated with your secret storage system.

We do this for the live configuration as well in line with Gitops and find it to work well.

If you don't want to use a cloud secret manager you can also use something like https://github.com/getsops/sops to commit the encrypted secrets safely

When 12ish I realized that my mental clarity was actually better throughout school when I skipped breakfast because I was too late; and initially I just thought this: it was due to sleeping longer.

But I observed the same thing later in high school when I got up on time but forgot to buy milk and hence went to school fasted.

Back then, I thought "break(ing your)fast" was somehow important for your energy levels at the start of the day (good PR!) so I was hesitant to follow really through and I guess the latent sugar cravings did the rest (but I remember not being "hangry" as others described it).

Now, after experimenting with a lot of regiments, I know that I'm far better off by "skipping breakfast". As a general rule of thumb giving your body a rest time of 12 hours and not eating 2 hours before sleeping gives your body an additional strong signal for its diurnal coordination.

That being said I knew a very athletic guy who before sleeping devoured 3000kcal (he barely ate throughout the day) and then judging by his exceptional body composition and athletic achievements could recover excellently.
This is some kind of GUI for editing files containing environment variables.

Instead of those files being stored in a shell script format that could simply be sourced, the author provides a badly written shell function to read those files one by one, parse the environment variables and export them. (I'm pasting it below so it is clear what I'm referring to in case it changes.)

The system is flawed because the shell function doesn't remove environment variables; it only adds them.

If we select environment set A, then B and then a A again, it is not the same as just selecting A, as it should be. The environment is polluted by left-over B variables.

In addition, the GUI program has a vanishingly small target audience, consisting possibly of just the author.

Out of the entire population working with shell scripts and environment variables, there has to be a subset which for whatever reason has to juggle among sets of environment variables, and in that subset, those have to be found who would would prefer a platform-specific GUI app from the Apple store to edit the environment variables rather than their favorite text editor.

## shello -- for managing environment variables
shello () {
envFilePath="$HOME/Library/Containers/app.shello/Data/envs/$1"

# Check if the file exists
if [ -f "$envFilePath" ]; then
# Read each line from the file and set environment variables
while IFS= read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
# Split line into KEY and VALUE
key=$(echo "$line" | cut -d '=' -f1)
value=$(echo "$line" | cut -d '=' -f2-)

# Set the environment variable
export "$key"="$value"

# uncomment the line below if you want to print each key
# echo "Setting $key from shello "
done < "$envFilePath"

export "SHELLO_CURRENT_ENV"="$1"
echo " shello env --> $1"
else
echo "File not found: $envFilePath"
fi
}

> It is - it increases the prices we pay for cars because it's different to most of the world. It also means driving in the rest of the world is slightly more mentally jarring than it would otherwise be, and a especially bad if you're driving a British car in Europe.

That's basically the definition of what subjective means. You think it's worse, from your point of view. There's nothing intrinsically worse about RHD vs LHD.

> Some are debatable, but some definitely aren't - e.g. hiccough/hiccup.

Hiccup is not "American" spelling, unless you're suggesting there were Americans in London in the 1570s: https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=hiccup. Until you mentioned it, I'd never once seen that bizarre spelling, and I grew up in a Common wealth country with first English immigrant parents.

> I disagree.

Which is why it's subjective. That's the point I was making.

Americans get all teary eyed and puffy-chested about their lack of universal healthcare, or, as we saw here, their use of an antiquated, and ridiculous system of measurement - both objectively worse than the alternatives (having universal healthcare, and the metric system, respectively)
> What’s the alternative to Unity?

Not making games. Unity has won big on the indie game community flourishing, of more people making games. If Unity stops being a valid choice, or starts being scary, some of the people making indie games might decide making games isn't worth it.

Sometimes we think of economy in terms of necessity. Some idea that people will make games, it's only a matter of how, but Unity didn't get big by cannibalizing some existing market of indie games. Unity was part of creating that market.
