I get the sense that applications with true realtime requirements generally have hard enough requirements that they cannot allow even the remote possibility of failure. Think avionics, medical devices, automotive, military applications.

If you really need realtime, then you really need it and "close enough" doesn't really exist.

This is just my perception as an outsider though.
My guess is that each counter would need to have a discovery point, a regular update mechanism and a documentation, while you can send obscure messages willy-nilly in the log?

Ideally, you would tackle both, but the benefits of exercise go beyond burning calories:

1) Exercise helps with hormone regulation, including testosterone
2) Exercise improves mood, focus, and sleep, all of which help with stress eating and mindless snacking
3) Exercise builds and maintains lean tissue mass, which increases your metabolism
4) Sufficient exercise has been shown to blunt appetite (300 minutes a week)

Exercise puts you into place to be successful.

People who train daily just get so many benefits. One thing I read said you can sort of outrun a poor diet with enough exercise (combo of resistance and cardio). But, again, doing both yields really good results.

I've suffered from insomnia for a long while now, and I despise taking Melatonin (300ug for the people asking, at least according to the label on it). It gives me unnerving dreams - not quite nightmares, but in some ways more anxiety inducing than a typical nightmare - and a lot of people report similar things. Without it I still have vivid, intense dreams but they're usually just very fun and nonsensical, a night on Melatonin makes them really terrible though.

It does help with actually physically getting me to sleep, but to be honest I can't really say it's good quality sleep. The feeling is almost 1:1 comparable to my usual bad days where I don't fall asleep until 6/7 and wake up 2 hours later, just extremely groggy and with a lot of mental fog, so I've stopped taking it altogether. This article is kinda worrying to me, can't even imagine what kinda weirdness external melatonin could be doing to a young mind if even tiny doses has such a strong effect on me, and I was a psychonaut in my younger party days.

If you define luck to be exactly synonymous with chance, then you are right.

There is a subtle difference between luck and chance. Chance is that uncontrollable randomness. Luck is a combination of chance, being prepared, noticing opportunities, not dwelling on negative experiences, and increasing entropy.

If you look at luck as a combination of those factors, it turns out most are under some degree of your control.

I know plenty of people who have decent lives, are lazy, keep a strict routine to minimize surprises, and have not reacted to opportunities which could have turned out really well for them. They consider themselves unlucky.

> What part of "Pit bulls were bred for a specific purpose, to fight until death." don't you understand?

I understood what you said perfectly well. I just don't believe it's correct, and I gave a reference to support my belief. What part of "I disagree with you and here's a reference explaining why" don't you understand?

> You're making up in your head that the parents "didn't manage the situation properly" - there was nothing to suggest that in the story.

Of course there's not going to be anything in the story to suggest that, because the parents don't know that they made a mistake. But I'm not "making up in my head" the obvious fact that if you bring a baby into a house that has a dog, that will be stressful for the dog, no matter what breed it is, and the adult humans in the house have the responsibility to manage that.

> I commend the parents for waking up and realizing the real danger this dog breed is well known for, and doing the right thing.

Realizing that the dog can't coexist in their house with their kid is fine. But I do not agree that killing the dog because of the parents' failure to realize that earlier is the right thing. They should take the dog to a shelter if they can't find a friend or neighbor who will take him.
Yes, there are parts of the space that can't be displaced with this.

I'm unclear on why you put "many cycles to spare for misses" in quotes, as if it's unimportant. If a linux/arm (or x86) solution is displacing a much lower speed "real real time" solution, that's the situation...the extra cycles mean you can tolerate some misses while still being as granular as what you're replacing. Not for every use case, but for many.
I much preferred DivXSweden, which is also dead now. They had some notion of quality control on that site which pretty much every other site I've tried lacks.
Funding. The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities struggle to get funded, especially with disciplines like history being in the crosshairs of conservatives. Archives barely get by and often have to make hard decisions about what the preserve based on their budgets. And then going from physical media to digitization is a nontrivial expense.

I think that preservation of art and history is amazingly valuable and I think that efforts to make this stuff available digitally is amazingly valuable, but these aren't profitable enterprises so they depend on a trickle of grant funding.
I've experimented with Melatonin extensively. Different doses, different times, brands, etc. It has never caused an effect that I can notice. So - that's not to say it's not doing something, but to assume it has a noticeable effect on everyone is an incorrect assumption.

If you've ever had problems falling asleep and taken melatonin to fall asleep, you would have proven it works to yourself. I took melatonin for a couple of years, and without fail, it made me sleepy where normally I would be awake until all hours of the night. Sure, this is comment is anecdotal, but so many people wouldn't be spending money on it if it didn't do what it is known to do, which is making sleep come easier.

Loads of Americans find themselves less than two miles from a shop or fast food location. That is a distance that many people in other countries will walk just to get outside and move, and think nothing of it. While in most of the USA sprawl is prohibitive, I suspect that, in many urban locations, people aren’t walking because they think it’s so very far. It’s not far, it’s just that a car and cheap fuel has already made many people lazy.

Great to hear. However even if Linux the kernel is real-time, likely the hardware won't be due to caches and internal magic CPU trickery.

Big complex hardware is a no-no for true real-time.

I visited family in a suburb in the midwest a few months ago after a long time away and living in the Bay Area. My mind wiped just how bad most suburbs are for walking. There were parks with zero sidewalks near the street. People looked at me like I was up to something by walking towards the downtown area on one of the remaining sidewalks. Almost nobody was just walking. Oversized trucks everywhere and zero walking. America can be a waking nightmare. It feels so unnatural.
> fixing our broken culture and allowing the average parent the time, financial security, and social connections to cultivate a meaningful, fulfilling life

why focus on parents? People who became parents have supposedly already reached a baseline of stability and security (otherwise they wouldn't have the resources to have children). There are plenty others who are struggling without a partner (or children).
> Right! They should transfer the liability to someone else!

As I've already said in the post you responded to, if they can't find a friend or neighbor who will take the dog (and that might well be the case, I get that), they can take the dog to a shelter, whose job is to find suitable homes for pets. And who would be expected to do a better job of that than these people did. That is what I would do if I owned a dog that I realized I could not keep in my home.
The optimizations are no doubt impressive, but looking at it from a costs perspective – they run their company on two DB instances, each with two CPU cores and 4 GB of ram. The annual cost of running such a machine on AWS (with SSD included) is ~$4000. Even if their DB infra was only half as efficient as it is today, their costs would increase by a whopping $8000/yr.

How much do they pay an average software developer? How many hours have developers spent on query monitoring, optimization, removing joins, removing aggregations? What is the ongoing cost of learning and applying these techniques to all new code written at the company? Even with the most conservative estimates I'm confident that it costs them several orders of magnitude more in developer productivity than they are saving on hardware.

Optimization is good, but every company needs to recognize where they are throwing away dollars to save cents. There is an optimal level of inefficiency that companies want to have.
I think it’s not really fair to say “somewhat positive” is equivalent to supporting Hamas.

The site you source says in the first paragraph “ (62%) supported Hamas maintaining a ceasefire with Israel.”

Also from the same or similar reports.

73% believed the Hamas government to be corrupt.

> https://theconversation.com/hamas-was-unpopular-in-gaza-befo...

When asked how they would vote if presidential elections were held in Gaza and the ballot featured Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, and Marwan Barghouti, an imprisoned member of the central committee of Fatah, the party led by Abbas, only 24 percent of respondents said they would vote for Haniyeh

> https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/what-palestinians-real...

It does not seem that Hamas is actually popular, however the Palestinian people are not living in a free democracy and are not being given other candidates to evaluate.
what kind of dose were you taking? Pills range from < 1mg to over 10, and I would guess there might be very dose dependent response.
How big is your dose?

There's a reasonable degree of evidence that all the commercially-available doses are too high, even 1mg. Cutting it way, way down may give the benefits without so many negatives.
> preteens taking up to 10 mg

The doses you can buy in the drugstore are wild. I'm an adult and I take 0.5mg and it works great. You can't even buy 0.5mg where I live, so I buy the 1mg tablets and break them in half.

I’m not too surprised because PBT as a material is harder to work with. It’s more prone to shrinkage and large caps like the spacebar are prone to warping, and this compounds if you try to do doubleshot PBT.

Most of the affordable PBT caps I’ve seen have been dyesub (which can be very durable if done well) or PBT-ABS blend doubleshot.
Software costs can really add up for a small business. I run a relatively small business -- mostly online -- and between 3 main services, the software (and hosting) adds up to around $15k US per year, which is not insignificant. And that's with hosting our own email server, which otherwise would cost us another $15k or so per year to go with an established ESP.
I walk 15-20k steps daily (~12-15km... some of that is running). Have walked or run this much for most of my adult life.

I grew up in Pennsylvania and Ohio, have lived in Texas, Georgia, and California, and spent significant time in the Carolinas, Alabama, and Tennessee. I've never had any problems when I've been on foot. I've had a lot of problems on a bike, though. Had someone try to run my off the road in North Carolina, have had people throw shit at me in California (central coast area), and have had lots of derogatory shit yelled at me (I never knew riding a bike made you gay, I always thought it was something very different!) by people driving by basically everywhere. Most of those happened in places without dedicated biking infrastructure or lanes.

Where I'm at now, in SoCal, I haven't had any problems or otherwise heard anything anecdotally.

> People are struggling to get by. Overworked, underpaid, lonely.

Well, maybe the last one.

I get what you are trying to say, but we still live in better conditions than humanity has for 20,000 years. Like people were literally starving to death, or being beaten to death by their neighbouring tribe.

Lonelyness - perhaps. There definitely seems to be less community now, less support, etc. But is that really the issue?

Would a tribesman 3000 years ago have given melatonin to their children to get them to shut and sleep? Probably. Would they have taken cocaine before battle? Probably. Would the women have taken contraception if it was available? Probably. (I bring up contraception because people seem to complain about not having children because they don't have enough money - yet people were way poorer and had many children for all of history).

Frankly, I think most of these things people are doing now are probably done just because they are available and they make life more comfortable.

But life definitely isn't worse in many many ways than it was before. So just because you're overworked and underpaid isn't a satisfactory explanation.
Behind the Scenes at a U.S. Factory Building New Nuclear Bombs
Question is a bit poorly defined. There are crypto-currency traders who've made billions from a single laptop.

Do you mean by writing code from the laptop? Building a product using the laptop? Does trading investments not count?
Agree. Amusingly, the authors found evidence that the drugs work: students spent more time focusing on even the easy version of the task. The impulse to "be done" with something and stop focusing on it is one of the things stimulants counteract.

I'm also not a big fan on emphasizing the "cognitively healthy" part of the equation. My understanding is that stimulants do exactly the same thing in a person whether they're "cognitively healthy" or not; they're not the sort of drugs that target a deficiency or clear up some specific problem. The only difference is that some people have more of a need in this area than others.

This reminds me of an old article I read about how psychedelics don't actually "increase connectivity in the brain" like users thought, as though that had anything to do with why people use psychedelics.
Most of traffic enforcement seems focused on revenue generation rather than reducing bad driver behavior. By my observation, seems police focus only on the easy to detect excess speed violations on highways: victim has no easy escape, everybody is likely driving in excess of the posted limit so it is shooting fish in a barrel. I don't think I've ever seen anybody pulled over for driving too close, driving inattentively, being on the phone, not using their signals etc [not saying it doesn't happen, but have never seen it. I have seen lots of people being pulled over for speeding]

The problem is that the collected fine moneys go to enrich the local police; it is hard to not see this as a protection racket.
> They should take the dog to a shelter if they can't find a friend or neighbor who will take him.

In practice, that’s likely just outsourcing the killing.
That’s sort of a shocking statement. The primary use case is to feel drowsy and fall asleep. It’s the hormone that induces drowsiness that is readily absorbed by the gut unchanged and impacts systemic levels of said hormone. We not only know it’s effective by like billions of humans trying it trillions of times, we know it’s effective by like nearly every vertebrate animal in biochemical processes we kinda understand sleeping every single day for all of lifes history.

What evidence is lacking exactly?
Why naptime at school? If parents are having trouble with their kids not falling asleep in the evening, wouldn't that either hurt (less tired kids) or be ineffective (kids can't fall asleep at school either)?
