I have had two problems that I have solved or tried to solve by changing my food consumption habits:

1. drowsiness around and after lunch time which sounds related to your problems even if mine where just from lunch and onwards and every day of the week

2. a feeling of being jittery (not worried about anything particular but a strong feeling that I should do something, so strong that I have a hard time doing anything). Often related to coffee consumption.

-----------------------

As for solutions and attempted solutions, here is what I got:

1. (Discovered by chance:) if I skip breakfast I don't get drowsy after lunch. Why? No idea. But it has worked for maybe 8 years or so so it is not just that it feels novel.

Please be careful with this. I am not at doctor or a food expert. This might not be for everyone. There might be good reasons for why everyone tells us to eat breakfast to stay focused during the day, but with my brain, my guts, my work, my habits and my body it is completely the other way around.

Be espescially careful you consider this or consider mentioning it to someone else if you or they have a history with eating disorders. I have recently supported someone through a bout of mild anorexia and it was really scary.

Personally I am somewhere around 180cm and weighs well above 80kg so for me the reduced food intake is a pure bonus.

2. For the jittery feeling I have tried a lot of things:

- replace coffee with energy drinks: works but is expensive and you lose the social aspect of drinking coffee together. But it also means that for me it doesn't seem to be only the caffeine that makes me jittery but the whole composition of the coffeee.

- eat things from my childhood, hoping my brain or guts would make me feel better: didn't work for me

- eat fat or protein rich foods: works for milder cases. Now I just drink half a liter of full fat milk as a meal replacement

- skip chewing gum: works. This one is annoying. Chewing gum has helped me keep my teeth clean after lunch but at one point I realized it seriously wrecks my digestion.

- physical activity: not a food but I think it is worth mentioning still. Hard monotonous exercise (spinning bike in my case) seems to work. On a related note, drowsiness can sometimes be cured by beating the living crap out of a punching bag "for all it tried to do against my family" or something.

- sometimes just disconnecting works: again unrelated to food: I just stop whatever I can't do anyway because of the jittery feeling and read a passage from the Bible or something. Find something that works for you.

Similarly, the default clock that came with my Xiaomi phone wanted permission to access my contacts before it would let me set an alarm. It did not get any such permission, I run an alternate clock/alarm app instead, and this will be the last Xiaomi phone I buy.

> my search experience seems to just increasingly suck

SO's search engine always sucked. Whenever I cannot find the answer that I was looking for immediately, I use google with the site:staoverflow.com parameter. This always gave me much better results than the SO search itself.
>Food isn't a "performance enhancing drug", it's food, you eat it because you need to

It absolutely is, athletes need to have specific diets to maximize their performance for example. And food can certainly raise motivation (or destroy it) depending on how it's used.

Both the quantity and quality of food matters. Specific foods also boost brain function, carbs help power through exercize, protein helps build muscle, other food substances help with sleep and mood, and so on.

'Food is just food' is not even wrong.

>You seem to have a weird relationship or perception of food if you call binging on a day to be "performance enhancing".

Doesn't sound weird at all, just unhealthy.
Can't help but suspect the people who both tried to avoid contributing to society, and did a bad enough job at it to get easily caught, probably aren't the most valuable contributors.
> Batteries are not cheap, nor renewable

Batteries are MUCH cheaper and their prices are declining. Especially at grid scale. There are MANY ways to store energy surplus, we're not at that stage yet but we will get there.

Batteries can be recycled. Again, especially at grid scale. Since they contain renewable energy for later use I'll call them WAY more renewable than gas/oil/coal.

> A society based on only solar

No one said that.

> Solar only works under ideal conditions

This is untrue. There are two types of solar, photovoltaic which is what most of us talk about works even under cloud coverage. No, it won't get 100% efficiency but it will give you energy during the day.

Couple that with the fact that wind is stronger during those seasons and that there are other sources of renewables and you will get a more even picture across seasons.

> At some point, people run out of land to put panels on

Right now most deployments are conventional and we still have plenty of land. Unlike regular energy factories we can place panels above every single interstate. Many crop fields and keep the crops which actually grow better and improve electric generation... Every building, every parking lot and right in the middle of the city.

Unlike other means of electric generation this can be deployed everywhere. The main things stopping us from doing it are time, costs and incentives.

Governments regulate roads and can provide financial incentives, they stopped so the costs aren't as great. But with the continued drop in price of panels I'm sure we'll see a lot more of that.

> A lot of the cheap manufacturing is centered in one or two countries

This is just weird. I have no idea what you're claiming here. That if China decides to stop selling or raise the price of panels it will be a problem?
Do you know who controls Uranium? Oil?

Nice thing is that these are "renewable. Once installed we don't need to worry about China for 25+ years...

> Transmission/distribution/management

This is the one correct point here... But not really.

Right now coal/gas plants need to be far from the city center so transmission is expensive. You don't want to breath that in. So should nuclear, you REALLY don't want that near your building.

You can have a solar roof right above your head. The road leading into your city can be solar. Batteries can be stored right outside the city and save the cost of transmitting... They can be underground which further saves on real-estate. A smart grid can take advantage of all of that.

The problem is that the grid is also very out of date and not interconnected enough to trade surplus. This is something that governments need to fix. Even between countries e.g. northern states should sell surplus to Canada and vice versa.

I'm for the free market here. The free market needs an infrastructure to work on. Since solar and wind are some of the cheapest options around, once the grid is properly open and modern, the market will take care of everything. Obviously, that's a huge investment but it will make energy cheaper and cleaner for everyone.
I hacked the eye-exam scam by getting exams every few years and using cheap online glasses (those $10 glasses) to confirm/tweak prescriptions, before finally ordering a fully featured $180 pair of glasses online which tends to last for a while. My final orders are rarely exactly like what the eye exam indicated, instead they are personalized for my most common focus distance and needs.

Well, if you want a checkup, then the American system is fine, right? The issue are those people who just want glasses / contacts – Personally I know my specs, and often just go to a pharmacy to get a box of contacts.

Also, I did not propose to go to Tokyo. There are plenty other locations that are more practical for Americans.
They need nukes, 20 new arimies, and all of the weapons in the west.

Sorry, there was some unsightly, redundant code in there. I have revised it now. I hope you find that the current version is acceptable.

Honestly I don't think 40 hour weeks were in any way fine or sustainable for me.

Only when I reduced to 35 hours i felt I have productive time next to work. And today I maybe work 4-8 weeks a year at 60 hours and the rest closer to 10 hours a week.

I am not sure how other people cope with that, but 40 hour weeks are crazy time consuming in my book.

So your proposed alternative is to let the rich get away with not paying their taxes, and taxing the poor instead?

Yeah if you remember they actually started as Resharper I believe. This was a powerful tool for visual studio which made C# a lot better. It was like essentially the precursor of LSP.

MSFT standardised LSPs with the language server protocol (well, literally).

So if anything, Jetbrains knows C# just as well as MSFT ever have!

I'd say your body can fully utilize your lunch, because it needs those nutrients and you're in a depleted state just before you have it.

If you want to, you could try a small, but protein heavy/carb light breakfast. That can help boost your metabolism.
Technically, all of them are required to join once their structural problems are solved - it's not that they chose not to adopt but rather that they were left out to avoid compromising the currency. Most of them have a clear political will to join the eurozone. The only real exception is Sweden, which effectively enjoys a de-facto opt-out like Denmark, for historical reasons (although they are increasingly under pressure to join).

Regardless, the hard core has won because the Euro is now a cornerstone of EU policies, whether the non-EZ countries like it or not. Every project, every accounting in the Union is now done in Euros.

There’s no way I could reproduce a calculus textbook verbatim, but I can probably prove all the important theorems in it.

Even then, given half of any sentence in the book, I don’t rate my chances of reproducing the next half. That’s more a question of knowing the author’s style than knowing calculus itself.

Does arithmetic coding capture all of that?
Great solution! I will give it a shot. But I don't have a motivation issue with other work like arranging meetups, side projects - just getting started on my main gig. It's brutal.
I often feel the same way when discussions pop up here or on other forums, about topics I'm familiar with. Like randos declaring that researchers in deep learning are "obviously doing it wrong" and they should instead do X, where X is like an entire subfield existing for years with a lot of activity, etc.

So I get where you're coming from. But I'd suggest that a place like HN is in fact a place for random people to inject their half-baked takes. It is a just discussion board where lots of the comments will be uninformed or wrong. Take it or leave it. If you want something else, you need to find more niche communities that are - by the nature of it - more difficult to find and less public, including IRL discussion, clubs, conferences etc. But it has its use: we, you and me can jump in any thread and type out what we think after 2 minutes and get some response. But of course someone even more novice might think that we know more than just that 2 minutes consideration, and they learn our junk opinion as if it was the result of long experience. It's unavoidable, since nobody knows who the rest of the commenters are.

Online discussions are incredibly noisy, and often even the people who seem to use the jargon and seem knowledgeable to the outsider can be totally off-base and essentially just imitate how the particular science or field "sounds like". Unfortunately, you only learn this gradually and over a long time. If you learn stuff through forums, Reddit, HN, blogs, substacks etc. it can be very misleading from the first-person experience because you will soak up lots of nonsense as well. Reading actual books and taking real courses is still very much relevant.

HN and co. are more like the cacophony of what the guy on the street thinks. Very noisy, and only supposed to be a small treat over rigorous study. You shouldn't expect to see someone truly breaking new ground in this comment thread. If it disturbs you, you can skip the comments. But trying to "forbid" it, or gatekeep is futile. It's like trying to tell people in a bar not to discuss how bad the soccer team coach is, because they don't really have the relevant expertise. Yeah, sure, but people just wanna chat and throw ideas around. It's on the reader to know not to take it too seriously.
Android technically offers that - the actual permission list that apps need to declare is a lot larger than what gets shown to the user.

Google only shows the most egregious permission flags in normal Android builds. They also for some reason opted to bundle a few completely unrelated permissions into the phone call permission notification (iirc it's for example the notif shown if you want access to bluetooth devices).

I think there's a few XPosed plugins that let you show prompts for the ones Google doesn't let you decide on if you don't want to go full custom ROM. They can also feed fake data so your personal data isn't compromised.
I have spent my entire, long, career, fighting against someone who thought this was a good idea, unpicking systems where they implemented it or bypassing systems where this was implemented. It's a many-headed hydra that keeps recurring but rarely have I seen it laid out as explicitly as this headline.
Statistics without context are irrelevant and used as disinformation. Period.
> There is nothing that actually prevents an installed app from collecting all your data.

Uhm, false? Unless by "all your data" refers to "what you do in the app" + IP address + phone model, on the iPhone nothing else is accessible by default. All that info is also available to any website you visit, so PWAs are not special in this regard.
Cinnamon is also in this ballpark. Each have their strengths and weaknesses but both are awesome.

Both are pretty dumb when it comes to Hi-DPI support although Cinnamon does an acceptable job at staying coherent when configured with bigger fonts so it’s a workaround. XFCE manages bigger fonts very badly so I have big hopes that real Hi-DPI support will be better with wayland.
> Yeah I'm not sure how you're going to use Stack Overflow as a Q&A for your own product.

How so? Just add a tag for your software and tell your users to write questions to Stackoverflow tagged accordingly. Then just put a watch on that tag. Almost zero setup effort. At least that is what I am planning to do. Am I missing something?
I used to be a big fan of fly.io until I faced a lot of deployment issue. Often times the server will go down for few minutes and it was not even updated on the status page. Is this still the case or has things gone better?

I just don’t get it. There’s nothing that could beat an one-time json download per product category. Not even “apply filters”, which I see less and less often with years. Unless a store has thousands of products and vague categories, ofc (but not in my cases).

If there is something beyond Hanlons Razor, I’d like to understand by which metric it works and how. E.g. how fetching 30 rows 10 times through different params compares to fetching 200-300 rows once, assuming various sorts of caching, etc. If everyone does it, it’s either a common methodic or a common ui-fad incompetence. But then even a shallow search should yield at least some results. It doesn’t.
I think this doesn't solve the real problem: every person will categorize a document differently and look in a different place. That's the hard part. Creating categories and uniquely identifying them is easy.

Yikes.... but probably correct. It's more that I've been slogging at work for 4 days and am just done.
> Now, countries that have nuclear weapons now know why they do and aren't going to give them up unilaterally in any case. It is not easy to develop nuclear weapons, either.

It's not hard to make simple fission bombs like fat man and little boy that do a lot of damage, its likely within the realm of most nation states to do so if they wished.

The hard part is the delivery mechanism.

A delivery mechanism is less hard if your looking to stave off enemies at your border though.

It isn’t so much a screenshot as it is the system suspending (parts of) apps that aren’t used or visible and aggressively compressing and decompressing memory.

So up until you tried to interact with it, it wasn’t frozen as far as the system was concerned, only then did it ran into an issue and did it convey that issue to you.

I don’t know by heart what the last macOS (or even OS X) version and Xcode version is that would be supported by a decade old iMac, but I can’t imagine it being a pleasant experience.

When I was starting out my career, I felt similar. However, today, I have a rather higher bar. The older I've grown, the more I've come to believe employers should treat employees humanely.

I'm not quite sure how, if old me met young me, I could communicate the bug in my thinking back then.
Technically in Emacs 29.1 tree-sitter is still only an optional build option, which a given package maintainer may have 'built in' to your package. It isn't actually a default. If you build it from source you need to pass the --with-tree-sitter flag to ./configure. See:

https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/how-to-get-started-tr...

What I read from this is that tree-sitter isn't considered quite ready by the Emacs maintainers, perhaps because of the restricted number of actual treesitter modes, or maybe because the treesitter support itself is not quite considered there yet?
> Just like API's, databases have tools to allow you to evolve - for example, maintaining views that keep a contract while changing the underlying schema.

What are the database tools for access logs, metrics on throughput, latency, tracing etc.? Not to mention other topics like A/B tests, shadow traffic, authorization, input validation, maintaining invariants across multiple rows or even tables...

Databases often either have no tools for this or they are not quite as good.
You're making up your "obvious" reality there. EU federalism was born in France and remains strong in the other three countries I mentioned - it might not be a clear majority at the moment, but it's definitely a popular idea among large swaths of the population. The evolution of EU structures undeniably goes in that direction year after year, with stronger and stronger federal institutions.
This must be from a person who never had to deal with when the database actually was the API.
Query-based replication works when you know what the user probably wants to have in advance (e.g. a device in a warehouse needs records for that stock in that warehouse, not others). But that's still push.

You still need pull on demand access when a user opens any random item where we don't know in advance what they probably want (e.g. a discussion board scenario).
It would be even better if the code was always valid because we only edit the AST itself, like what paredit does for Lisp modes.
I've been using XFCE for the last 15 years. Before that it was vtwm, fvwm, afterstep, but I could never get into GNOME or KDE. XFCE just does everything I need and I don't see any reason to switch.
Generally I like what noyb does, but I dislike how advertisement and product analytics seem to be thrown into the same basket. There are third-party companies like Mixpanel and Amplitude that you can send your users' data to, but they will only process it for you, and not for anyone else. Same with third-party companies like RevenueCat that help you with implementing in-app purchases. Very different situation than sending data to Google or Facebook who will then use it for everything they do.

Not all third-parties are the same.

Industrialized agriculture doesn't scale either. We are rapidly destroying the fertility of the American midwest via intensive farming of corn/canola/soybean. Even ending a animal agriculture will only slow this down. What's your solution?

What would be sustainable is returning grazing animals to the Great Plains en masse to regenerate the rapidly-depleting topsoil originally built up by the American bison, but virtually nobody is talking about that because the entire focus is on one thing, CO2.
