If one is running 50 miles per week one needs to orient eating around the runs. It's difficult to run right after a full meal. The result tends to be restricted eating to have a comfortable run in the first place.

PS: A bunch of extra work is near mandatory to maintain weekly mileage like this. Proper stretching and recovery--maybe some yoga. Lots of distractions from eating too much in the first place.
Some disagreements based on my experience working with UE for the past 11 odd years. Mind if this all sounds negative that I really like working in the engine and would recommend it for most game projects. I just think you should be aware of what you're getting into.

> Unreal and Unity are not game engines in the same sense.

This is mostly a true description, but

> It's the same way with Unreal, except you're not getting "whatever Epic ended up with when making Gears of War"

No, a lot of what you're getting is "whatever Epic ended up with when making UT, Gears of War, Paragon, and Fortnite". You can very much feel their previous games in it. This is good and bad; good in that the tools you need to ship a real game are all there and the engine is actually battle-tested; bad in that the tools you need to ship a game that doesn't fit that mold might not be and there could be a lot of stuff that will get in your way if you decide the Epic Way doesn't suit your project. UE4/5's adoption does help a lot, things were rougher earlier in UE4 and in the UE3 days.

> Porting to consoles isn't an outsource job here.

Nah, we needed help to ship Chivalry 2 on console and WinGDK. Many smaller teams do outsource or contract for assistance. It was months of multiple programmers and tech artists, it really wasn't one person x one week.

> Upgrading to the latest version is not a big deal.

If you're a tiny, Blueprint-only indie / side project I guess this is probably true. It takes us weeks though.

> Unreal introduces new systems carefully.

We and other teams I've talked to had a policy of waiting for the first hotfix revision of a major UE4 update before attempting an upgrade, though.

> I heard Blueprint sucks!

See my comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37512356

> I heard Unreal is geared towards first person shooters and it's a struggle to make something in my genre!

As above I don't totally buy the rebuttal. If you're doing something way out of left field you can do it in UE, you might have to bypass a lot of Epic's way of doing things though.

> What if I don't want fancy graphical bells and whistles? What if I'm not making something in a realistic style?

I've not worked on VR or mobile but I've heard that Unity scales down better. Some of UE5's nice stuff (nanite, lumen) also doesn't scale down well.

The Repugnant Conclusion is one of those silly problems in philosophy that don’t make much sense outside of academics.

Utilitarianism ought to be about maximizing the happiness (total and distribution) of an existing population. Merging it with natalism isn’t realistic or meaningful, so we end up with these population morality debates. The happiness of a unconceived possible human is null (not the same as zero!)

Compare to Rawls’s Original Position, which uses an unborn person to make the hypothetical work but is ultimately about optimizing for happiness in an existing population.

We really shouldn’t get ourselves tied into knots about the possibility of pumping out trillions of humans because an algorithm says they’ll be marginally net content. That’s not the end goal of any reasonable, practical, or sane system of ethics.
Welcome to HN where you can't delete your comments after a very short grace period.
Once going on my fasting and only eating 3 meals a day, I lost 8kg and for the last two months have been maintained a stable weight without having to think about calories at all.

I won’t be going back.

Edit: also, I was never massively overweight. Generally my waist at its height was around 33inches. It was just a hard way to live.

Could any HN users speak about their experience and rationale for using Tails?

My outsiders’ perspective is that the threat model for these kinds of surveillance resistant tools is somewhat perverse: they trade indistinguishability (being lost in the crowd) for a nominally more anonymous but extremely unusual datapoint (a host/browser/etc. that basically looks like no other normal machine.)

Put another way: without a clear attacker in mind, my outsiders’ perspective is that Tails feels a bit like wearing a paper bag in public to foil public CCTV: it might work, but is far likely to provoke contact with the relevant authorities than just attempting to blend in.
It does, but it's still a different creative expression. You could legally recreate Microsoft Word pixel-for-pixel and just change the name without copyright issues because the code creating the exact same shapes would have differences and, most importantly, not be a literal copy but a recreation.
I have started to use this system shortly after having first heard of it. I think the greatest challenge is that as I constantly create new things while only completing a fraction of them, I'd end up with a very “sparse” set of numbers being “active” in the end and unlike what is claimed by the system the relevance of directories for me is rarely linked to the time of their creation. Hence I needed to tweak this system a little to be useful to me and while it is a minor improvement over before I am still dissatisfied with the outcome...

During the course of time the License of the JD system itself seems to have changed to a CC “NonCommercial” license. This really contradicts that this system is intended to be also useful in business contexts. I shall only look at my old copy where it is still under a DFGS-compliant license, but I wonder whether it is even possible to claim ownership on an organization system by means of a license? Wouldn't the only way to protect against it being used or described anywhere be a patent?

Python manages to combine the worst parts of high-level and low-level programming when it comes to multithreading. Like it's using multiple OS-level threads with the associated overhead (not greenthreading like in JS), except it's locking to negate actual multiprocessing, but you still have to use mutexes about as much as in C (no event loop like JS), and the whole API feels low-level and convoluted. It's like they tried to abstract things but gave up halfway through.

I like Python in general, but I avoid it for any kind of concurrent programming other than simple fan-out-fan-in.
Amateur opinion, but President Nixon was president in 1971, and I wonder if a lot of it is increased greed primarily due to two things. This increased greed also manifests as more short-term thinking. To paraphrase Fast and Furious, "I live my life one quarter at a time".

First, decreased consumer and investor confidence in the future after the combination of Watergate, removal from the gold standard, and the Nixon Shock policies [1].

Second, the Wharton MBA program's rise, and the Wharton view, as explained to me, that employees should be treated as renewable resources, not to some extent as family.

Ask HN: Is cell phone radiation still a concern in 2023?
In the early days of mobile technology, there were numerous discussions and studies concerning the radiation emitted by cell phones and potential health risks, including cancer.

> Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, no knowledge of anything real world other than your job, are not qualities of "regular educated people".

Actually they are, your statement applies to any one of the examples I gave you of what society considers successful/prestigious careers. Silicon Valley is the poster child for stimulant and hallucinogen use/abuse, are they not similarly regular educated people?

> Just because it's common for celebrities and kids of rich people to do drugs and screw around

Where are you getting the idea that it's only common amongst celebrities and kids of rich people?

> They are modern qualities of the loud morality failed majority these days.

I don't even know what "loud morality failed majority" means but morality (particularly your personal definition of it) =/= professional competency.

The disconnect here seems to be your expectations (and definition of morality but that's a separate point). Your parents, and you, seem to be unaware of how common stimulant, alcohol and drug use is amongst white-collar professionals.

Sorry to disappoint but as a group physicians are no different. This has no relevance on professional competency. Fun fact for you the "fathers of modern medicine" who have all the diseases named after them and designed the residency education system were all overt cocaine addicts, thats part of why the hours are so long.

With their operating budget, you’d believe otherwise.

I say small because I immediately compared them to NIPPON or ANA cargo. These guys were still a staple in the business. It worried me that their in-house software could easily be virtualized but they were heavily against the idea.

Perhaps there doesn’t exist a compliance policy or they just don’t care. I hope that particular office is doing ok.
x11 was (development) dead long before wayland was relevant

x11 had long time become unsustainable in multiple ways

braking changes where inevitable

all of the most relevant DE had somewhat already gutted out X11 leaving nothing behind then the interfaces

so the replacement being defined by interfaces and "every DE for themself" was just natural, for the large DEs it was already the case anyway

and for the other DEs you could say wlroot is now the common core they need because they don't have the will/time to implement everything by themself
People trust "authority" because they don't have time, resources, training to build the body of knowledge themselves. It is not feasable neither desirable for everyone to know about everything. Societies build chain of trust and that's why institutions are important. Think of authority as a function call in a big framework which provides an answer with reasoning for that answer. In my previous function calls, the authority provided answers properly. If I get a wrong answer, there is a "bug" somewhere in the system.

> I think you don't understand what revenue is. It's entirely possible for a revenue based percentage system where you lose money on every sale. In that sense this system is the same - under some circumstances you can lose money on a sale.

I perfectly understand what revenue is, thank you. I am not talking about a revenue based percentage system where you lose money on every sale.

Please explain to me how a developer can owe more than their revenue in a system where they owe a percentage of their revenue. You literally stated "but since you are making money on these sales this is functionality identical to perfentage of revenue". How can this situation happen in such a system?

> I agree that Unity shouldn't be charging per install if the dev can prove all installations were done by the same user.

But that is exactly the issue. Unity is charging per install, even if the dev can prove all installations were done by the same user. So why are you saying:

> From my perspective it seems like a lot of complaining is being done by people on Unity Personal licences who are now upset they will have to pay to use the engine if they actually make money

if you yourself agree with the point people are making, which is that Unity should not be charging per install?
It'd be more likely to just kill Unity.
>> But just as the Reformation led to faith-healing and megachurch preachers

> Quite a leap. Break that one down...

Prior to the Reformation, you needed not just Truth but Authority as well. There was an actual hierarchy, and you respected that hierarchy.

Luther said that any man could connect to God, be a spiritual leader, assemble a congregation. And so the number of religious sects increased from 1 to much more than 1, including for example faith healers and megachurches.
Once WoW is on Steam, then this argument might hold water. Overwatch being put on steam was a desperate attempt at boosting the player count of a game suffering severe player drop-off. Steam was simply an untapped well of users to draw from for Blizzard.
Everyone here is completely missing the point. It wasn't the API change, the 'new reddit' UI change, or frankly any other individual change. Those are symptoms of a greater problem - Reddit is social media that succeeded.

This exact same fall happens to any and all social media that succeeds, and is not in any way unique to Reddit.

It grows, and with growth comes complexity and greater expenses to keep it all propped up. In order to pay for those expenses, advertising revenue must increase. To increase advertising revenue, the site must be more 'family friendly' and have stricter moderation. More users means that you can't be as personal and must be more automated. You don't want bad publicity because that can turn advertisers away. If you want more advertising revenue you need more users, which means you need to sand off any rough edges and unique appeal and instead appeal as broadly as possible, regardless of the original intent of the site. To appeal broadly you must add every feature that everyone else has and forget being unique. Broader appeal brings in people who reduce the quality of the content. The larger the site gets, the more appealing it becomes to bots and propoganda. In order to maximize impact for either personal (ego) or professional (money/political) reasons, you need to post content that hits people where they're vulnerable - cute, funny, infuriating, etc.

So, the product experiences enshittification. It's just inevitable. It will always happen to social media if it grows.

You can have a small, niche social media that is good but will never grow - or you can have a large, casually-used social media that is awful. There is no in-between. Anything in-between inevitably slides towards one or the other.

It is interesting to see a very specific number 2021 here...Wonder why they picked that year as a cutoff? Did they have any (relatively) recent technology implemented around that time to make the update easier and future proof?

Don't forget to use base classes in c++ though. It's massive performance hit to cast to bp only classes. The base class will help you move nasty bp stuff like complex calculations once you run into them.
No, it indicates that politicians are pandering to the voters who don't like it being used. If it wasn't useful insurance companies wouldn't do it.
One thing I'll tell you: don't listen to anyone wanting to come and inspect and propose stuff. It's a huge salesman heavy market, so you have to research it or just ask someone that has it already.

The only thing the installers have to figure out is how to wire up the panels with your inverter in the right ratio, and if your roof can hold the panels you want. The rest you pick and they do.

Don't get an offgrid inverter, hybrid grid-tied inverter all the way. Even if you live in the sticks with no grid, just get a hybrid one.

Also, don't worry if your batteries will last the night or cloudy days or whatever. Just make sure you have enough to handle your load if it goes down, the rest works on its own and the inverter just blends your solar with whatever it needs from the grid.

They might as well, since they will be insecure.
> Seems like a policy set with priorities other then environmental protections.

There are definitely other non-environmental considerations at play, the largest being that the increasing number of home solar installations has reduced revenue streams for utility companies, while at the same time their costs have increased due to grid maintenance and wildfire prevention projects (and lawsuit payouts). Most houses with solar are still heavy users of the grid, yet they pay very little towards its upkeep. This pushes the costs onto people without solar, who tend to be renters or low income households.

> Energy cost has long been viewed as a means to constrain consumption. This new approach seems to undermine that approach given the reduced cost per volume.

The idea that electricity consumption must be constrained makes sense when the electricity is generated by fossil fuels -- replacing a gas furnace with an electric heat pump when the electricity is made by burning coal is not a big improvement. But we're entering a world where most of the electricity is generated by clean solar, and constraining usage doesn't reduce emissions quite as much. In this world, a heat pump powered by solar is a real improvement over a gas furnace, environmentally-speaking. But a heat pump only beats a gas furnace in terms of cost to operate if the price of electricity comes down relative to the price of gas.

From that perspective, removing constraints on electricity usage is not a bug, but a feature.
Still up to the writer
I could use symlinks to refer to files, yes, but rather I'm using nonstandard #foo-bar-baz subtag syntax to refer to sections of org mode documents. I do not use real org mode tags because those are restricted to headlines.

In other news, if anyone knows how to restrict a search in an org mode buffer to search only the headings, that would be very helpful! Right now I'm using an external grep wrapper, restricting to lines that begin with an asterisk.
Yes, well aware of the fact that people get eye infections from contacts. What is the point of the yearly exam? Infections hurt! There is no evidence that yearly exams reduce frequency of eye damage in America relative to countries that permit contacts without yearly exams.

Also, contacts are not a high risk medical device. Only a moderate risk.

Unlike a patent, a copyright only protects a specific expression. There's nothing stopping you from using said typeface on a computer. If it's so easy to clone, why not just clone Proxima Nova and be in the clear?

What exactly is copyright law stopping people from doing? It's literally only protecting their work in the font. If they did a lot of work, you can't call selling it "rent-seeking" and surely it's worth protecting and incentivizing. If they did little work, then little is protected. Anybody can use it by doing an even smaller amount of work.
> this is extremely appealing either way

Not really, any standard computer gets updates forever.

(at least for Linux, I don't know other OSes really well).
IMVHO such usage is meaningful for agriculture purposes ranging from automatic irrigation systems with DC pumps, door opener for poultry and SO FAR not much more, in a longer terms IF someone will develop electrical agriculture machines like automatic harvesters and so one, perhaps it will be possible to mount them on rails, makes them autonomous following available direct p.v. powers.

Other applications for small stuff can be for spread sensors.

But running something else it's simply too unreliable. Let's imaging just a simple washing machine on p.v. directly. If it's a sunny day with no clouds at all ok, but if there are just few clouds the irregularly input power makes hard to complete a cycle safely. Similarly we can imaging cooking devices, useful yes, but you can cook only if the p.v. output is there and constant enough. Water heaters with large water storage might be used, since they do not need constant power, BUT they need something else to give hot water in adverse climate, like a wood stove with pipes or something equivalent.

Doable, yes, but I do not know how many can invest enough for having a meaningful set of solar panels + MPPTs and DC devices to power directly for such unstable usability. We have on sale a handful of p.v. direct irrigation systems and they are NOT so cheap, not super expensive, ok, but still not that cheap, so if someone can afford them probably can afford batteries as well, at least for a limited usages just to ensure intra-day services.
For sure. When people work in any industry long enough, it's easy to stop thinking about the basics. E.g., a retail butcher thinks of his work very differently than a cow or a vegan does.

When people work in advertising, they mostly forget that the core of their business is for-profit manipulation of people with little or no regard for truth or the people concerned. But I personally think that's kinda creepy, and only getting more so as it goes from broad manipulation of millions via mass media down to thousands, hundreds, or single individuals.

If you pack the whole problem into a definition of "worth living", then you're right. But the premise is that there is a range from extreme misery through neutral through extremely happy. The repugnant conclusion is that it is better to have many people in a state that is barely above neutral.
