I don't understand how this relates.
Note that it is a professional blackbox with regular oversight and heavy regulations (depending on area). Cooking at home is certainly transparent in comparison, it is also the work of a usually incompetent amateur with no proper training, zero oversight and zero regulations to adhere to.

Where I live, the former is far more trustworthy, with home dining only winning on price and ingredient choice - not safety.
Is it still something you can code with your mouse?

I remember having to deal with it on my first job because the team knew nothing about coding. They had “recorded” macros by clicking around and never seeing a line of code. It was incredibly brittle: any change to the table, even adding a comment, would break it, but it allowed them to automate a task.
That's a fair question. I felt like it was forcing myself to have some accountability and responsibility.
Yup exactly this. Unfortunately I learned many years ago when switching from web development to mobile development - I can never depend on a "rollback" of front end code. Apple has "emergency policies" too, but I can't remember a time it actually came in handy.

Everything we could think of we added a toggle for. If we weren't sure, it got a toggle - just in case.

Also did most of our final testing against "production" builds because that is the exact binary that customers would end up getting.

I got an e-ink notepad, which helped organize my thoughts better than the 10 different legal pads I would jump between. Still disorganized, but at least now my notes for a single topic are in one place.

For a calendar, my wife hung this acrylic calendar on the kitchen wall and we update it at the beginning of every month. I try to add things as they come up, and I often forget to add things if they are in future months, but it's helped for me to keep track of family arrangements. Any personal appointments I make on my own I try to put immediately into my google calendar, and then my work calendar is completely separate. As I'm typing this I realize I rely heavily on others to manage most of my time...

Working with IT isn't even managing coding. Management implies power to hold someone accountable, while working with IT an extended exercise in nagging and supplicating an organization which is completely unresponsive and unaccountable in its outcomes and methods.

You might as well become an immigration lawyer and spend all day begging the government to explain why your latest M-10582-9DJVA-V isn't being processed in the normal time frame, even though it was stamped in triplicate and sent by Certified Mail with a full-color copy of every identification document you own.

The best way to deal with IT is to avoid depending on it ever in the slightest way. If you give it an inch, it will take a mile.

Some companies might do these things secretly anyway, but then we have the need for audits and strong enforcement of the law, which is another matter. First step is to get this into legislation.

OSnews was wonderful. I didn’t realize, but Eugenia posted after a 10 year hiatus back in July.

The early 2000s really took a toll on alternative commercial OS offerings. OS/2, QNX (on the desktop), BeOS, and others made that time interesting. There were even a lot of mobile OS options (Palm, early Linux handhelds, Symbian, Windows PocketPC/Mobile).

BeOS was always my favorite though. It’s amazing what Haiku has done, but sad that BeOS was shelved 20 years ago.
Are you sure about that? If it was just for the intellectual pursuit and socialization, why are you playing poker and not, say, Catan?

Obviously not everyone plays poker in a smoky room with gangsters, or even with real money, but I think maybe that cultural context is part of the explanation. You absolutely can divorce it from that cultural context, if you like poker but hate gambling - but is that worth holding onto, when there are so many options to get similar intellectual and social pleasures?
There's a good chance you do have ADHD. I was in a similar place to you, and it's important to know that it manifests differently in different people, and that there is a rebound effect when you stop your meds so what you might have seen may have been much worse than their unmedicated state. If you have the money I'd suggest just getting tested.

Fetlife ends employment 2 weeks in without giving any reason
[Fetlife.com]

2 weeks in they just told me that they decided to end my employment, without giving me any reason. I had to ask 3 different people for feedback before they've given me some irrelevant bs reason.

Basically what happened is that their senior engineers (and non-senior too) didn't want to help a new joiner get started, so they wouldn't answer any of my questions. The documentation was non-existent, and whenever I would hit the senior engineer up on Slack (the person who hired me), he would just ignore it (happened over 3 times in the course of 2 weeks).

I managed to get everything up and running on my own (lot's of debugging just to set the env up) and would finish all of my weekly tasks by Wednesday or Thursday.

The PM: who's also basically the director of engineering, and also had no previous experience as an Engineer or Manager - was just a UX/UI guy for less than 2 years. When I asked the PM for feedback by the end of week 2, he told me that he couldn't give me any, as he didn't have a clear view yet, and that the next two weeks would give him enough time to see me work. Come Monday, he sent me an email saying that they ended the employment.

Again, I finished all my weekly tasks well before their deadline, working part-time after my current main job. My cadence was in the likes of full-time employees who had been in the company for over a year and were working full-time there, not part-time in the afternoons after a full-time job. And I had to ask 3 times for feedback, before receiving some irrelevant BS feedback back.

Also, they knew that I'd be working part-time after my main full-time job, as they're following a Contract-To-Hire approach.
It may also be that many individuals who are on the autism spectrum also present with comorbid ADHD.

The world has already used most of the useful locations for hydro. It works well where there are abundant resources, but there are no more areas to put in hydro (even ignoring the local environmental disaster that hydro often is which means we probably wouldn't build it if it could). The locations that have and use it don't have any to spare for the rest of us to live places that are not a good location for hydro.
This is the way.

What strikes me as odd is that the conversation on Twitter seems to be centered around the Google review not being fast enough, instead of the obvious mistakes with the release timeline and testing.

> but does GPU lifespan decrease with more intense use?

In principle, yes, could do (solid state electronics do wear to some extent) but in practice data centre GPUs will be specced for a low failure rate under constant use.
Serverless in that context essentially means “somebody else's server(farm)”. It frees you from some of the infrastructure/admin involved in server sizing & upgrades, backups, availability management, and so on.

It can be very attractive to teams who don't want to have an internal expert for all that, or to buy huge hardware to deal with spikes in activity that only happen occasionally⁰. Just being able to spin up a large DB for some tests without worrying about available space, how much it will compete for this like CPU/IO with your other DBs¹, etc, can be very convenient.

It can work out quite expensive in terms of price/performance ratio, if those factors are not a benefit to you.

I looked at the table and Sweden (where I live) we had a very opposite response to COVID than Australia and still saw an increase in life expectancy from 2014-2021, almost on par with Australia (0.9 for SWE, 1.0 for AUS). Sweden fared better than New Zealand which had a similar approach as Australia.

Show HN: A Novel CLI for Kubernetes with Cypher-Inspired Queries
I'm excited to share Cyphernetes, a CLI tool I've developed to enhance Kubernetes management. My aim was to create a more declarative approach to handling complex Kubernetes operations.

I'm a big fan of Neo4J's Cypher query language and believe it can lend itself well to the infrastructure domain.
Drawing inspiration from the Cypher query language, Cyphernetes allows you to describe intricate Kubernetes tasks in a single, clear statement. I believe this approach can significantly streamline heavy Kubernetes operations, allow power-users to easily join data across resource kinds in Kubernetes and much more.

The project is at it's earliest milestone and supports performing GET operations using MATCH queries. The Cypher-like grammar implementation is incomplete - However using this today already "felt like something" so I decided to put this out there.

Implementation for CREATE, SET and DELETE clauses will come in the near future.
Thanks for checking this out, contributions are of course welcome. Looking forward to hear your thoughts on this.
They all stashed my brain after years of researching nutritional psychiatry.

As far as ADHD goes, I just suggest searching both PubMed and Google scholar for ADHD, glutamate and GABA.

I think glutamate and GABA play a larger, or fundenental role, in most psychiatric disorders.

Hey, nice to see museum folks here!

I previously worked for a museum too, trying to solve the same problem.

Many of the providers called it "blue dot" positioning/wayfinding, and aside from Bluetooth, vendors also offered ultrasonic beacons (your phone can hear and triangulate), wifi triangulation (you map out various APs across the property into a 3d map and the app then triangulate). I think there were also some that would try to guess your location based on the music playing in the background (like if your exhibit had a background track) and another that did something similar with visible light.

One of the more interesting techs I saw was a image recognition network of ceiling cameras, mounted on lighting rails, that was supposed to keep track of individual visitors as they moved about each exhibit. I wasn't sure if it could track them through the whole facility (as opposed to just one discrete room), but if so, that'd be interesting (and creepy).

Edit: PS you might wanna check out the MCN (Museum Computer Network) conference and mailing list for museum technologists.

At the end of the day all of them were too complex and/or expensive. We just printed out a bunch of "you are here" signs with QR codes that led to specific webpages and/or anchors on our digital map. Like /exhibits/blah or /map#blah. The signs showed a cutout of their current map position, so when they scanned the QR code, it would look like the same section of the map.

This was at the tail end of covid, though, and management was still against paper maps at that point. I really wish we could've just printed those out.

IMO only (we wanted to do more research and A/B tests, but I don't think we got to it): the UX of trying to navigate a big 3d indoor space on a tiny phone screen is not great. It's hard to represent both floors (and their corresponding stairs/elevators) and relative facing (NSEW is totally unclear indoors). Pathfinding / navigation from point A to B was also something we didn't solve yet, because it's hard to see the whole path when you're zoomed in, hard to see geometry when you're zoomed out. Overall a bigger paper map in a trifold was a lot simpler.
> Apple seems to be the more actionable company to sue, since Apple actually controls the market of “default search engine on iOS”.

Even in the absence of payments, Apple would still be entirely within its rights to set Google as the default search provider, which is why the lawsuit isn’t about Apple. It’s about the set of things that Google has done to inhibit search competition, only one of which is paying Apple for default placement.

Ever since I played Spaceplan (http://www.jhollands.co.uk/spaceplan/ and aaahhhh dammit I guess I'm doing another playthrough) I've mentally used 'value drift' to refer to any number of things, from the kids not wanting to do what we tell them to Windows 11 rebooting itself because its updates are more important than my unsaved code. (Kidding, I spam ctrl+s while I'm thinking out of habit, nothing is ever unsaved for long. :P )

That’s fair. I wrote a script at work recently for zsh that relied on some of its niceties, like glob qualifiers. The reason for using zsh was we only use Macs, so it was reasonable to assume everyone would have a decently modern version of zsh available.

It definitely looks foreign, but then, so does parameter substitution in bash or zsh. There are shell scripts, and then there are those that make you break out the man pages to figure out what they’re doing.
I'm having my first visit to a doctor regarding my symptoms this week. Very interested if I need a treatment and what they will say. My main problem is craving for dopamine: nicotine, caffeinated drinks, hot shower, games, tv shows, drugs - I just cannot focus, I crave for something to stimulate my brain, and sometimes I end up abusing substances because of this. For example, I used 5-7 doses of nicotine spray per hour. Just like a mouse that found a button for dopamine release.
I think if I can eliminate this, I will feel much better.

Hi, author here,

Nutrition is very important indeed, but it has always been a problem for me. I wanted to focus on things I tried and worked on me.

Here's another hack: 10mg Methylphenidate. YMMV, but the alternative is a boat load of systems, routines, caffeine, which all may or may not work depending on how the day/week is going. Not a panacea to be sure, but for those adults with ADHD inattentive where dopamine deficiency impacts executive functioning it can be essential (and incredibly effective).

Insofar as orthodox privilege is a real phenomenon, one of its greatest strengths is its ability to cast a smokescreen around wealth, power, and influence.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this rule change happened because people were getting hurt from sesame in unlabeled foods. So yeah, it is a bad side-effect, but it probably actually does solve the problem it was intended to: to prevent harm, not to expand food choices or even to hold the number of food options steady. It was obviously going to reduce options, it just did so much more than expected and in an unexpected manner.
