Everyone I've ever known? Who doesn't separate meat in their fridge, and who's keeping so much in there at one time that this is a problem?

Dating opening times is going too far IMO: if it's open, and longer then 7 days in the fridge you toss it. Which is to say, if you can't remember when you opened it, that's also a good sign not to eat it.

It's not like any of this is hard to do.

Although this:

> a home dishwasher doesn't actually sterilize anything,

is not really a statement on anything. "Sterilize" is a very specific term which means you did a process which is guaranteed to kill extant micro-organisms and viruses. But the reason hand-washing is so effective at preventing disease is that it doesn't necessarily kill them, but soap will wash them off surfaces very effectively. They're still alive, but they're in the sewer. Commercial dish washers aren't designed to sterilize either - they're designed to get things clean as fast as conceivably possible (i.e. single digit minutes, not hours).

The converse of this is the problem with old rice: reheating rice is periless, because while it will kill the bacterial contamination, the toxins remain and that's what will make you feel sick if you eat it.
Hmm, but I think I've seen campaigns that were mainly fighting legislation that was proposed by the Commission, even before it went to the trilogues, trying to get Parliament to strike something - e.g. [1]. What's the difference here?

– It’s built in.

– The IDE is built in.

– The syntax is beginner-friendly.

– It’s stable and doesn’t change every six month.

– It’s well-documented.

– No build steps, it just runs, and fast.

– It’s resource-efficient (CPU, RAM).

– You can easily create dialogs and forms using the built-in visual GUI builder.

– You can break into the built-in debugger from your Office document.

– If you want to get fancy, it has interfaces and classes.

– You can call any win32 function and use any COM object.
Of course there is a technical solution already and there has been one for decades. You Yanks could have a deep geological repository by now, but NIMBYs in Nevada blocked it.

I was addicted to gambling online via Texas hold em poker for a period in college. I mastered the statistics and broke about even. I should never have done it though, extremely destructive to sleep and healthy mental patterns.
Between decades ago and now we've recognized that sugar only causes excitableness in children who are prompted (Clever Hans style) by adults who expect such an outcome.

The wisdom you're referencing is circa the 70's, it's been attempted many times since and has never replicated.
Businesses are the only legal way to “group” people together and hold them accountable. Since you are purchasing a license for some spectrum, they need a way to hold that group accountable. A common business arrangement is to create a “co-op” to work together, usually owned equally by the members. For example, there are a couple of developer co-ops around here to get discounts on IDEs and resources by appearing as a large org. Almost like what you’d expect from a union, but most clearly not a union.

I have been personally diagnosed with ADHD and have benefited from medication but it doesn't come without its costs. My wife was diagnosed when she was very young and we've had a lot of time to run self experiments and discuss ideas.

I don't think people want to hear this but I believe so many people think they have ADHD because of a lack of discipline. Even people with ADHD will understand what I'm talking about. Some days you can take your medication and still get nothing done with endless distractions.

We live in a world full of distractions and our attention spans are being whittled down with every new dopamine slot machine on our phones. What's rare today is someone stopping themselves from reaching for the digital crack and embracing the less stimulating but more rewarding long term goal slog. Treating every focus problem you have as a medical issue or a fleeting lack of motivation gives you an easier out. What you really need to accept is that sometimes you just avoid discomfort and the only thing missing is forcing yourself to get shit done and being content with it.
> Polycrystalline panels last 20 years, sometimes longer (the sales pitch is "up to 25 years") but the 20% fal

Your numbers seem off by atleast a facotor of 2. Average degradation is .5% per year so panels are guarantees are usually that you'll have 90% capacity after 10 years and 80% after 20 years.

> Now it's a game of Backblaze storage stats only with solar panels - how does an at scale solar farm balance purchase costs and maintainance costs,

The failure mode for solar is unlike traditional spinning hard drives. There isn't a "data loss" downside to waiting to replace. There won't be any risk mitigation, just calculations of when the opportunity costs become high enough to warrant replacement. I suspect in areas with cheap land, it'll be easier to build additional capacity than to replace existing degraded panels.
In my case I have to say that is only half true. As an adult-diagnosed ADHD sufferer I cannot say that I developed coping strategies on which I relied excessively that masked my symptoms. Rather, I used to try [0] to develop coping strategies, only for me to eventually drop them for unexplainable reasons at the slightest routine-messing incident or event, regardless of how effective the strategy was being or how good it felt. And then some time later I would [will] try again, under the blissful delusion that this time it will stick overriding the rational memory that I never succeed in setting up a system on which I can rely for the medium-to-long term. Rinse, wash, repeat.

I am now in a low, with no active strategy, and without the mental strength to start working on a new one. Hopefully though I will recover my mojo soon and organise myself again. And I'm sure this time it will stick...

[0] I still try to develop coping strategies, but I used to too.
I made a kanban board of post-its on my bedroom mirror, that's hard enough to miss so that I automatically check them several times a day.
Right - it could be outside your comfort zone. But not a logic failure.

If you want to see an example of how this might be done, can I recommend the entertaining movie: 'Wag the dog'?

What we are really talking about is the problem of presentation. Very few people/companies have a very broad reach. If you are an agency/organisation that is able to intercept and alter the message that is sent, perhaps even create the message completely (you can call this propaganda or spin) if no one is checking the reality on the ground, would you do it? Do you think those organisations tasked with governing minds (govern mente) would consider this as the easiest way to manage their message? And, as a consumer, how would you know the truth of whatever is portrayed?

There are plenty of reasons not to take the presentation we are provided literally.
I was shocked by this... and here I thought I'd seen enough incompetent processing of datetimes that nothing could surprise me.
I know, but the German wikipedia gets it right: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Scheel

(And so does the German Chancellor: https://www.bundeskanzler.de/bk-de/kanzleramt/bundeskanzler-...)

There is zero ambiguity about who was Chancellor and who was not.
The clean solution is quite simple - if you don’t want non IT people writing software then buy a product to solve the issue or hire some experienced professional developers. The problem is that a lot of time the clean solution isn’t feasible because of constraints or culture and you end up with something in the “dirty” solution end of spectrum.
We separate meats and cutting boards. The ones who were used for meat are being washed very carefully with lots of chemicals and hot water. Dishwasher runs at 65 degree Celsius. That’s enough for disinfection in my books. Plus cleaning with chlorine every 3 months. We have only couple things open in the fridge and don’t keep them for long. That means if pesto is open we eat noodles more often. There is no rocket science in keeping home kitchen in good shape.

Don’t let me start with a stories from a friend who worked as an interim manager at Burger King. It’s scary! But even worse are smaller industrial kitchens without strong control from state and franchise representatives.
You could probably make do with submarine, ship, and airplane based nuclear weapons?

I got diagnosed with ADHD a couple years ago, and it has remained a shit show since then. It was a shit show before, but now medical appointments and crazy restricted medicines have been added to the mix (I ran out of an addictive antidepressant this weekend, not fun). It feels like everybody agrees I'm sick but nobody has an effective treatment for me. I went to see all the doctors who accepted to see me (it's not that many, the appointment system is made to fend of patients, not help you see a doctor), nobody had any magical insight. I lost the best job of my life because of my inability to stay on track.
Strange that they list FreeDOS, DR-DOS and MS-DOS as separate OSes even though they are very similar. They are effectively ABI-compatible, unlike the different Unix flavors.
This knee-jerk reaction to the subject doesn’t add much to the discussion. This is the result of a study aimed specifically at analyzing the safety of those nuclear installations. An argument with substance for an opposing point of view would be a lot more welcome than a cheap jab.
The same reason non-FAANG employees look down at FAANG employees. The FAANG folk think they're elite. The non-FAANG view FAANGs as senstive, overpaid, overhyped divas.

It's dopamine that ADHD lack and that you get from caffeine and sugar, not serotonin. People who are depressed do lack serotonin though yes. And you can have both. You can't get that from caffeine though.
I didn't say that, and it's obviously not what a normal person would take to mean from that sequence of words.

The spending needs to be on building more housing, better housing, more affordable housing, housing closer to work. Single family or multi family? Whatever the people need, neither will exclusively work if people want both.

If you don't do that, it doesn't matter how miserable you make the commute, people will still do it because the alternative for them is not going to their job and becoming destitute.
I don't see a huge difference between a hobby and fulfilling and non stressful work that you take up voluntarily.
I don't think what you call "witch hunt" is what the majority of people call "witch hunt".

For example, when Trump says "they are accusing me of fraud but it is just a witch hunt", he does not say "fraudster don't exist", he says "those people have found someone they don't like, or have an interest to get rid of, or are super paranoiac, so they will jump on accusations and see 'proofs' that these accusations are real everywhere even when it's not the case".

(I take Trump as an example where "witch hunt" was used. But in the case of Trump, I call BS: the reason he is so often accused is because he simply has done a lot of shady things)

The historical witch hunt is a good example of that: people were trialed and found guilty, but we now know that witches don't exist, so it demonstrates that they did not really have any proofs, they were just so biased that every little thing was a proof to their eyes.

This is the reason the McCarthyism is associated to the concept of witch hunt: during this time, any single element could have been overblown into the proof the person was anti-democracy communist ready to kill their neighbourgs even if it turned out this person had done absolutely nothing wrong and was innocent. And if there are arguments to justify very stringent background checks in some sector (military, politics, ...), this was extended to sectors where it was not at all needed, such as art and cinema (the worst they could have done was to put very hidden propaganda messages that would have had no effect on 99.9% of the viewers).

And this is also why people talked about paranoia: it is ok to be careful and do a lot of background checks, but if you find a red socks in the bottom of the drawer and scream "ahAh, this is the proof this person is a commie", then, yes, you are paranoiac even if communists really exist.

The fact you lost the paperwork should be a pretty damn good indicator and this part made me laugh out loud. I'm glad to have been simply diagnosed by someone who just accepted my story as true. All this talk about diagnosis is just bizarre. It's not a 0-1 sort of thing, they have to trust you. Unfortunately you have to be confident and assertive because they will gas-light you in the name of being 'careful'.

Sports can be an important piece of the puzzle in the ADHD lifestyle. Especially high-intensity, game-like, engaging ones that you can identify with and be good at. I swear my executive self-control and discipline have improved since I started training tennis several years ago.
This is an anti-nuclear weapon article masquerading as a policy dispute.

You can protest the existence of nuclear weapons and support disarmament, that's a valid position, but raising the issue as having a problem with the placement of the silos or something like that is bananas.

They try to make an issue of the radiation spread following a full-scale nuclear attack on the United States, or "increased crime from construction workers", can't really be taken seriously.

Because these reporters don't really have a problem with the silos being here or there (well, maybe they would prefer them there), they don't have a solution like "The heartland is the wrong place for these silos, they should be in Alaska". Their problem is not in the solutions the Air Force has come up with for modernizing the US nuclear arsenal, their problem is with the US having a nuclear arsenal.

In which case just say that. Don't tell me the US shouldn't have a nuclear arsenal because we're going to increase the size of our waste storage or whatever.

Can you not get to the point with a proper written exposition? You really need to make me wait five seconds to load all that bloated multimedia CONTENT? Then I have to scroll for days only to incrementally reveal the topic? I can't skim or read deeply here. There's just one mode: "keep swiping for more CONTENT!". The fucking TikTok paradigm.

I presume you meant 'sous vide', aka stewing stuff in plastic bags. When talking about various chemical crap in food and around it, I find it hilarious that folks consider baking food they eat in plastic bag as something to not even pause and think about healthwise
Or consider that certain laws passed by the government suppress alternative points of view that conflict with the mainstream, so that even if the views are true, they still are squashed.

She is like a unicorn because I have personally never met a losing poker player.

Everyone is crushing it no matter what the rake in these games. "The games are all so soft". Sometimes they eventually though get bored of making all this money and move on to something else.

Same with sports betting now. "I win some, I lose some but overall I am up". Everyone says the same thing, even when betting on sports they don't even personally follow or watch.

You know what they say, the house always loses.

Those wouldn't solve the issues laid out in the article really, as those warheads still need to live somewhere while not aboard those platforms. They still generate waste, still cost money, etc, etc. Except for the random anecdote about construction-worker-driven-crime (???), anything short of complete disarmament wouldn't address the articles concerns.

And anyway, the silos are part of the nuclear triad[0], removing them is akin to partial disarmament which will never happen without unilateral agreement across all nuclear states.

well you could abandon the silos completely and only have air and submarine delivered missiles (e.g. UK only has submarines)
The thing that fascinates me about Von Neumann is his apparently "normal" personality given his savant nature. Dude liked to do earth shattering work in front of the TV and was quite a friendly, if not a bit socially awkward, person.
If you look at the actual issues that ask about the development status, all the people who asked were really polite and gave the author of the tool best wishes as he works through his mental health. At no point would I describe those issues as “demanding,” just “inquiring.”

The people who asked those questions were greeted by a software author who lashed out at them. See for yourself:

https://github.com/minimaxir/simpleaichat/issues/91

https://github.com/minimaxir/simpleaichat/issues/92

One person who asked (rightfully, IMO) pointed out that all these questions are reasonable considering the project has sponsorship and Patreon links. The author is collecting $100 a month in Patreon and GitHub sponsorships, which is not nothing.
I've never once found that useful. I must be doing it wrong.

I did find a lot of links it couldn't read, though.

The offending ingredient (alcohol ephoxylate) is present in both my dishwasher pods and my rinse aid.

I might start skipping the rinse aid and I'll seek out dishwasher pods that don't have that ingredient.

But apparently it's more od an issue with "professional" (restaurant) dishwashers, which use less water and more chemicals. I gathered this from other comments and I don't know if it's true.
The good thing is that while getting started sucks, if you're consistent with it you can train your mind to seek out and crave long term goal progress and completion in the same way you can train your body.

Yes. Yes. Yes. A million times, yes. I can't stress this enough: always put visible timestamps on all content (be it web or otherwise, online or offline) and current version number for any kind of software (apps, libraries, frameworks, etc.) on their info / landing / documentation pages.
It should be immediately visible if a certain content is dated or not.

Shadow IT exists for a reason and that's the dysfunctional bureaucracy of IT.

The "Circle of IT" is real. Small companies start out nimble, but then stuff gets crazy and someone decides to standardize it all under one department. This works for awhile, but eventually this organization becomes so useless that it can't serve any functions of the business anymore, so a shadow IT group is built that the business SMEs love as they just "get stuff done". This works for several years, but the executives in IT hate this "rogue" group as it is a constant reminder of their incompetence. Eventually they re-absorb this group and crush them with beauracracy until it all starts again.
Doesn't matter how they estimate their chances. What matters is that if the penalty is significantly higher - then insurance will go up and there will be incentive to buy cars safer for pedestrians.
16 years ago I developed some apps with MS Access that interacted with MS Outlook. It was rather easy given the integrated IDE, debugger and being able to create forms and call a CLI app (zip). I contemplated suggesting my managers to build something serious with some web tech -- also ubiquitous and easy to deploy PHP -- and it looked a lot more complicated right away!

Later, I used to be Django developer, and I think it would be even harder to deploy and maintain.

The only inconvenience I recall was some functions had tedious API, arrays/lists were hard, had to be created like kinda Collection.new(...).

The Blinking LED,

A simple Hack that still works for me after years:

1. Place a tiny LED (red or yellow) by the side of your monitor or virtually on the screen corner. Basically anywhere almost bordering your field of view.

2. Make it blink like a fast heartbeat (120-150 bpm) and gradually slowdown to around 60 bpm (or your slow heartbeat base). Make the slope approx 20 to 60 minutes (you can adjust the best rate by testing in 10m increments after a few days in one setting).

Now...

3. Get to work regardless if distracted and agitated. Close all apps except what you need to work and BOOM!, let the magic happen. Without realising, your brain will try to sync with the light that you can barely see, calming you down and allowing you to go focus-mode with the task in had.

Works like hypnosis!

It is also a cheap hack... I build my unit with a cheap ESP32 and heart-rate sensor to sync deeper and dynamically adjust the slope...

Will explain better if any interest.

No science behind (only principles), I just hammered a solution like any Ape with the shakes would need!
