I don't judge anyone in the crypto space for wanting to gamble. I judge them for lying to other people about their crypto being anything but gambling, which is what it is.

I don't think we'll ever even know how many NFT projects there were out there, all taking up space on the various chains, all shilling garbage artwork, all promising all manner of shit from video games to magazines to comics to television series, many of which raised huge sums of money, virtually all of which is now gone. And it's easy to point and laugh at the people who thought these things were anything but scams, but also, in a better world, we wouldn't let tons of people be scammed like this. Being vulnerable to certain kinds of hype shouldn't give other people permission to rob you blind.

when we look at data at scale, we use p99 metrics to get more insight into the average. because this article, i'm assuming, is just using average, the metric here does not have enough information. There could be just one incident in texas over 4 year period that affects the average per unit of production.

Calorie cycling: https://www.webmd.com/diet/what-to-know-calorie-cycling

Based on personal experience here. You're doing HITT? It's possible for a short intensive workout ( under 25 minutes) that you're body isn't taking from fat, but trying to get it from food you ingested. That's why it's "suggested" to do lower intensity workouts.

If you do heavy training, you can eat more than you did before too.

-> Activity Factor Guidelines

There are plenty related root causes, eg. sugar craving. Perhaps add some dextrose to your drink.

https://www.polar.com/blog/sugar-and-workouts-how-it-can-hel...

Also a lack of vitamins could create cravings ( eg. Because of a lack of sunlight/sleep), you need more vitamins since you workout more.

Losing weight is 60-70% eating correctly, the rest is exercise.

I'm still inclined to believe that gaining muscle is the best way to go for losing weight/fat as a male.

If you do weights:

Don't measure you're weight every day ( muscle is heavier than fat), if you want to check that, do it weekly ( preferably with a fat % counter. Same time of day, same water intake. Since it works based on conductivity / water. Water intake can change results slightly). Try the mirror instead.

Building muscle is slow, but losing muscle is slow too... ( Less strict "diet", useful for holidays)

Cardio is fast, gaining it again is fast too.

Ps. If you're always hungry, I think you're going to extreme and you're body is starving versus the exercise you're doing.

Note: random thoughts. Feel free to give some feedback so I understand the situation a bit better.

Fyi. I'm not considered an expert on the topic. I read a lot + personal experience and experimenting. You're mileage may vary ;)
>> They are going to start dying of en masse within the next decade. That means A LOT of SFH are going to hit the market, all around the same time.

80% of the silent generation is already dead along with 33% of the baby boomers. Between them, around 8,000 people die every day, and that has been going on for quite a while.

When do you expect this to start having an effect on prices?
Yes. In-car WiFi should obviously work even if the network connection break (remember, we're talking about working without Internet, not disallowing Internet at all) - WiFi is a local wireless network protocol, not magic Internet summoner. With actual Internet connection down, it should still maintain the local network for connected devices.

As for the rest, none of those look like they should be first-party features. "Spotify on the car radio" is a third-party integration to a system that should also work off-line, e.g. for playing music off removable storage, casting from your phone (via WiFi, without Internet), or, you know, working as an actual radio. OEM maps with traffic is something hardly anyone wants anyway, because they universally suck relative to some TomTom screen, or even Google Maps.
> That's why "technical novelty" ranks ridiculously low on scale of things that make most successful software businesses these days: if anything technical novelty is more of an albatross on most software businesses than a saving grace.

unfortunately this isn't really the case. the industry knows its throwing away massive amounts of methane from the active fracking based wells. texas railroad commissioner is on the record defending it as carbon neutral because if you leak it or capture and burn it, it adds the same carbon footprint. methane flares are permitted at huge volumes. and if you drive i-10 between el paso and san antonio, its starkly clear

If you came into my FAQ and wanted me to put medical advice in it we would not see my refusing to engage with the concept with it as medical advice in itself. (I would not be seen as either for or against the medical advice, in fact people would wonder why the heck you were suggesting I put medical advice in my software FAQ!)

"this isn't the place for that" used to be a very well understood concept, and everyone was able to respect that, whether it was in the workplace or over Thanksgiving dinner. We just stopped enforcing that and started treating "not here, not now" as though it were taking a side.

It is worth noting that due to endpoint key escrow on by default in the non-e2ee iCloud Backup, iMessage is already presently broken and not e2ee as Apple has endpoint keys available to them to decrypt almost all iMessages that transit the service (Messages in iCloud) in realtime.

Even if you enable iCloud backup E2EE, or disable iCloud entirely, iMessage is still not E2EE as your conversation partners are escrowing (to Apple) the keys from the other endpoint.
Whatever happened to Yuri Milner?
I did deregister it via the website they were forced to put up after being sued, as I've already mentioned. I just said iCloud instead of iMessage. It should've been clear from the rest of my comment.

Maybe don't put the blame on me. It's a $1,000 phone and trillion dollar company who can't, or won't, send a text message properly. Also, I don't even use an iPhone. How is it on me that an iPhone can't send me a text message?

Bingo. Design for incompetence. There are few codebases in this world that don't need incompetent people to contribute to them. (This is typically driven by business incentives)

Yes, I am mostly talking about Stoicism, but the older philosophers that the Stoics revered like Socrates were often discussed or admired by Stoics more in the context of their personal lives, rather than their philosophy.

Socrates, Xenophon, and Plato were all soldiers or military leaders. Epictetus was a slave that was crippled from abuse. Viktor Frankl and James Stockdale are both fairly modern people that survived extreme hardship using stoic ideas.
One thing that reading _The Little Prover_ did for me was correct a sort of lazy preconception I had that you cannot “reason about” code in dynamically typed languages. And it sort of crystallized my experience of large dynamically typed codebases not being as bad as one might expect. The patterns in OP are one case here where the boolean expressions are trivially analyzable and there are other classes of such analysis: e.g. it’s possible to use the condition of an id statement to detect useless expressions in both the then and else clauses.
I did look for his airbnb listing at one point, after a previous broadcast that he was putting it up, and there was no way to book it. (I think not because it was already booked.)
Yeah, Windows tries to constantly trick you into using a Microsoft account and storing your Desktop, Documents, etc in OneDrive online. The reason is simple: money. When you inevitably run out of space, you can't save anything else. And you can no longer use your linked Hotmail account. I had to explain to my Dad's 80+ year old neighbor why she couldn't email photos with her kids and then try and fix the messed up Windows settings to get her back working again. This type of behavior in software is honestly evil.

I would expect every CEO to use their companies products. Even if they have no use for the product/service, their time using the product has to pay off in terms of better understanding the difficulties/challenges faced by the real users.

Sure, they could pay a study group to do that. But doing it themselves will probably let them make better decisions overall.

Microservices are a solution to an organizational challenge: how do we set clear boundaries of ownership within a complex system? From a technical perspective there are pros and cons.

Unfortunately, I don't see a wealth of other ready-made practices for companies to copy when they grow and need to solve this problem. I once worked on an enormous Rails monolith that was very well organized and had layered on several additional patterns to improve modularity and maintainability. Still, a SEV in a minor product area could (and did) bring down the whole system, and they were in the process of dismantling it.

They are going to remove Windows Calendar in 2024 and force replace it with Outlook. Out of curiosity I clicked the opt in "preview" for this change and it opens Outlook, which I have never used, and wouldn't let me do anything unless I "linked" my Gmail address. Just so I could open a calendar.

So I closed it and when I need to look at the calendar now, I use my Macbook instead.

It's so infuriating how Windows is turning into a total shitshow lately.

> avoid hiring people who jump companies every couple year

You don't get many of those people any more, because just about every other employer has burned that bridge to the ground. People, especially the young ones who entered their careers around the 2008ff megacrisis, have zero trust left in anyone.

When companies don't care and ditch us at the first sign of problems (easy, because we were the freshest hires), why should we show any sign of loyalty in return? If you want loyalty, pay us.
Fine. Still, those two could be made as optional features that could be turned on or off at purchase, and/or during visit to a dealership or authorized repair shop. And neither of these should be sending telemetry during normal operation of the vehicle.
And to be clear (for anyone who doesn't know, I presume parent does and simply didn't think it necessary to explain), this "carbon neutrality" argument is entirely bogus, because one molecule of methane has far more climate impact than one molecule of carbon dioxide, even though they each contain a single carbon atom (CH₄ vs. CO₂).

Apparently, the underlying science is basically that "wigglier" molecules have more propensity to intercept photons, and that's why molecules like methane and refrigerants have more impact than the relatively simple CO₂.

And on other devices, Prime Video is getting incrementally worse, in recent months and weeks.

I tried Prime Video with-ads, and it was not only unpleasant sucking of my attention and interruption of the show, but creepy with the targeting/mis-targeting. When the whole purpose is to relax and wind down for the day.

Once I've run out of ads-free good content on Prime Video, I'm going to have to go through my GnuCash, to see whether the 5% rewards I get with my Amazon credit card is worth the Prime membership fee, compared to my normal 2% cash rewards Fidelity card.

Hopefully, Netflix, Max, etc., will have ads-free accounts at reasonable prices.
Tell HN: Bountysource seems to have shut down

This depends on legislation, but in a lot of countries ebikes that don't require pedaling are illegal. From personal experience, riding on an ebike still provides plenty of exercise, certainly more than the literally zero that you get when driving.

In any case, I only brought up ebikes in the context of arduous journeys. Most people will not travel by ebike, they're too expensive.

It's not about trying to persuade people in car-dependent places to go against the grain and bike everywhere. Rather, a network of bike infrastructure should be built, making biking a viable choice. In time biking would become normalized, nobody would need to be explicitly persuaded. After all, Americans don't drive everywhere because they've been convinced to, they do it because the ever-present car infrastructure makes it the most convenient option.
haha, classic
When it's as good as it can be, any change makes it worse.
Yes, that's a fundamental reason python packaging is a mess. Python success is largely due to the availability of key mixed language packages. No other mainstream language package manager has to deal with this.

For example, cargo for rust, which is great, can assume to package mostly rust-only code. And while it is compiled, the language "owns" the compiler, which means building from sources as distribution strategy works. I don't know how/if cargo can deal with e.g. fortran out of the box, but I doubt cargo on windows would work well if top cargo packages required fortran code.

The single biggest improvement for python ecosystem was the standardisation of a binary package format, wheel. It is only then that the whole scientific python ecosystem started to thrive on windows. But binary compatibility is a huge PITA, especially across languages and CPUs.
Near as I can tell, pretty much everyone (especially their neighboring countries) hates the Palestinians. They're basically the Roma/Travelers (but in one place) of the middle east.

The one issue with AI and you not thinking about it day to day, is you'll only see it where it makes mistakes, or it performs criminal actions.

It's the IT effect. When IT does it's job right, everyone asks why you pay them, then IT screws up, everyone will ask why you pay them. Things just working is transparent and we don't notice it's even there.
