And pretty common for a clean bulk unless you only weigh 150 pounds or so. If you're in the 200-225 pound range you're probably eating 250-300g of protein a day, which if it's only chicken breast will be approaching 3 pounds daily.

To be clear, this is for traditional bulking. And you only really do that if you're trying to get bigger weightlifting numbers for the sake of getting bigger weightlifting numbers. Nobody casually gets a 450 lb backsquat, they do this kind of stuff to get there.
Why is `docker run` "unusual in production"? I prefer it over `docker-compose` because it eliminates one mostly useless layer of abstraction.
Seems amazing!

I can see on the tours when you purchase the tickets online yourself:
"There is a $2.50 convenience applied to each ticket at checkout."

What does that mean ?

You have to give tips to a computer ? Is that a thing in the US ? Like at the self-service checkout ?

Orcas kill other creatures and discard them without eating them.

They are highly capable, intelligent and enjoy violence for the sake of it.

This is what anti city people don't get. My mom grew up in a small religious village and left for the big city because she wanted a life.
This. I would also call a 145lb squat and 225 deadlift “completely untrained”

These aren’t uncommon numbers for someone who has never exercised before.
The problem with this theory is people have been saying it for 25 years. At least as long as I’ve been in the profession. And it’s not historically accurate in the past either. Programming was a clerical job for much of it’s history.
That may be the result of the "New York Times Manual of Style and Usage."

For example, the Times NEVER uses a lower case "i" when iPhone begins a headline or sentence or picture caption.

Binary search (or bisecting) is also an incredibly valuable approach that I don’t see junior and intermediate engineers reach for nearly as often as they should.

When some thing is failing, find a midpoint between where things are working and where the bug is manifesting. Do you see evidence of the bug? If not, look earlier in the pipeline. If so, look later. Repeat.

In my experience this process is the primary distinguisher between those who flail around looking for a root cause and the people who can rapidly come to an answer.
The divide here is that I’m thinking in terms of a computer.

Programming is already “nonsensical” by your definition! Just ask a lay person! What we do as programmers is translate into machine instructions. Yes, “Text-Color” being used to declare font size is confusing, but so is a for loop to the untrained eye!

Is Brainfuck not logical?
>Location based salaries are discriminatory

While I understand the feeling, I would be pressed to say that this is purely driven by market dynamics. Companies that hire in a certain market have no incentive to overpay compared to the local market rates.

Software engineering has now become commoditised. This holds true for remote companies. Wages are a function of local supply/demand and labour costs in that location.

If you want to follow the same logic, you would expect to pay a coffee $10 in Brazil as you would pay in NYC. Following the same logic a coffee shop in Rio de Janeiro would say “location based pricing is discriminatory”.

Markets don’t work that way
It's an often repeated idea that somehow Rails or PHP allow to ship faster than rust (or go, or java?)

For one, it's simply not true in many cases: I know Rails (and Sinatra) very well and axum or actix slightly less so, but the time from idea to running server is hardly different in both. In this phase, that's measured in hours or days anyway.

Secondly, the primary thing that speeds up "getting your startup to production" is using known tech. Stuff you are extremely familiar with, is boring, and well supported on hosting and deployment.
If you write rust day in day out, getting rbenv,bundler, the right gems,ide support, CI, linting, and whatnot set up will slow you down a lot when you are new to Ruby and Rails. Same for any language. I'm slow in PHP or Python because I keep hitting speed bumps that require experience, detailed knowledge of the stack, or best practices to figure out.

I now understand the borrow- and typechecker, in rust. The thing most people say is slowing them down. It was slowing me down, when I was new to it. The same way my inexperience with pipenv, or phpstan or webpack is slowing me down on python, PHP or JavaScript.

And lastly, the strictness of rust, as with Java and C# (and TS) is also very quickly turned around into a time saver. Refactoring, understanding and maintenance is just so much easier and faster with static typing and checkers.
And, I've found, especially in the first phase of rushing, pivoting, adapting and rapid change, a crucial timesaver. Which is after days, already.
I had some friends have the cops called on them during college because they were laying out their (real looking) airsoft guns and gear out on their beds.

They sent police in SWAT gear, but they still politely knocked. They were let in, saw what was actually going on, talked to them about how neat the guns were, and that was that.

There’s a middle ground that’s probably acceptable to most.
Requiring SSO mostly does this, except for the SSO passphrase. That should be randomly generated, but usually isn't.

I have a similar story, but not as serious as OP. A couple years ago, out of the blue, I started having almost constant unbearable back pain. Doctors I saw didn't know what it was. Eventually, one of the neurosurgeons, after I showed him an old MRI scan told me it was a cyst in the spine that was 80% of the time asymptomatic and unlikely to have caused the issue. That cyst required surgery and only 3 doctors in the world have done it before. During this time I started to go to the gym and train, and after some time, the pain went away on its own. Not sure if it was because of the better food I was eating or stronger back muscles that got rid of it. Since it's a neurological issue, some postures and chairs still cause pain, but it usually goes away quickly now.
I have been doing this for years without any additional software: just make sure your monitor goes to blank when locking the screen:

1. lock screen

2. Switch USB switch to the other source

3. Press space to activate the other PC

4. Monitor should automatically sitch to the "new" active source.

That’s up to them. It’s the worker who chooses how much it takes to show up. I suppose if they want to truly play the part of being female they may want to accept less.

way way back in the early ’00’s (like pre-9/11 iirc) i built a toolkit on js/xml/xslt in IE 5.5 to transform data into UI controls. it wasn’t quite React but it did form the basis for the most of the UI of the startup i was at during that time, which was a web-based radiology product.
unfortunately it was much harder to convince an employer to open-source support libraries and tools that weren’t the primary IP of the company, so it’s been lost to posterity (not that anyone would want to use it today!)

Volvo has the new reasonably affordable (starts at 36k) EX30 coming and demand has been very strong. We put our money down last year and lots of us are eagerly anticipating delivery. I agree that the budget sector is where they need to concentrate. I assume car companies are milking that last gas premium as long as they can. Once people try electric they won’t go back to the nightmare that is the internal combustion engine. And I say that as someone that has worked a lifetime on gas engines and I’m done with it.
I certainly hope so.

It might take a few years, or hundreds, or thousands to finally receive a tentative "hello?" transmission from them, however. I struggle to even imagine how Earth's civilizations would react to such a "phone call."
Sadly, and I say this with all the love for my Polish brethren and sisters, Poland and many Eastern European countries still have some catching up to do.

The silver lining, however, is that these countries make significant headway at a steady pace.

Especially the countries that are part of the EU are constantly improving, partly because they have to adhere to the EU-wide minimum baseline.

So I've got faith they'll get there.

But this lagging behind, for lack of a better world, is also, in part, why many US companies that want to expand into the EU set up bases in countries like Poland.
It's generally cheaper and is the “least bad” from the corporations’ perspective regarding labor rights.

Show HN: SolarChats – LLMs Integrated into Project Management
A few months ago I started exploring OpenAI's API, with experimental integration of ChatGPT4 into a project management system I'd written. As that progressed, I found giving the LLMs a specific expertise made them better assistants, so I remade my project into a home solar energy adoption R&D and planning resource. That purposeful limiting of the scope of the project appears to have made the LLM chatbots more directed and significantly better assistants. So, the project continued with a solar adoption focus...

SolarChats.com is a series of personality chatbots integrated into traditional project management software, such as text chats, memos, spreadsheets, document sharing, and project privacy. The LLM integration provides voice to text, solar expert chatbots, a creative writing professor chatbot, a finance expert chatbot, a spreadsheet authoring expert chatbot, a negotiations chatbot, and secondary behind the scenes analysis bots that analyze chat conversations for the quality of the human communications and use that to moderate the other chatbots to include more explainers in their replies because the human does not appear to be comprehending, or shorten the replies because the human appears to understand what they are doing.

The chatbot/AIs do not do one's project, they provide expert guidance while you plan whatever your solar project happens to be. Some of the chatbots are also downright silly. But their advice is still expert. The chatbots with personality are only in the top level chat interface used for initial research, and once one has information that has graduated from a chat conversation to a formalized memo of information you want to retain, when editing a memo (or spreadsheet) the chatbots are strictly business, assisting without personality.

I'm interested in what people think, and I am interested in discussion with others that may be working along the same lines.

And, yes, I am aware the site looks like it's from 2007. A slick web design is not the point right now...
I'm pointing out that any scenario that requires this synchronization is inherently implausible. So if we don't see the markers, trying to say it's because there are lots of civilizations but they just happened to pop up in synchrony with us is not a plausible theory.

The nice razor handle is cheap, but the blades are expensive.

No one hid the prices from any one... it was all very up front and out in the open. No more data centers no more systems admins, no more capacity planing just scale on a dime... Here is the price chart....

And everyone didn't want to do that HARD work any more. They could just grow and grow and grow and it would save them money.

You know what happens when your not gonna run out of storage or bandwidth or servers... Everything gets bloated.

SO sure, we can say abusive... Amazon abused all the poor stupid vp's who took the lazy way out and let their systems get so fat and bloated on button mashing "l" shaped engineers. Crying about the lock in, about the pricing after you signed up for the service is your own fault. Take the hit and move on!
Sam Altman: I don't know that much about this rumored compute thing
Seems like we all have! I ran into quite a few hiccups when I tried to automate this with a Windows and MacOS machine with just a USB switch (bad DDC values, detecting device events, etc). https://nokappa.notion.site/Making-a-software-KVM-using-only...

I ended up mostly giving up because it was a bit janky and I always had something else in more disarray.

Sweet idea on the macropad! I haven't used them before and placement of the USB switch is always a pain.
Please no. At least let us get 2024 over with first. Then maybe we can hold our heads up.
i just happen to try this game recently... is it just a micromanager sim? seems like (early game at least) i am just micro managing a bunch of trucks and trains telling them where to go individually.
Well, depends on weight. These are reasonable goals for a 160lb person after a bit of working out. Not a lifetime, but not untrained.

Here's the reference I use: https://exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards
I should have clarified that I’m talking about my login and iCloud passwords here. For websites, I always use hide-my-email (hey, I wrote the client-side code for it) and a safari-suggested unique password for exactly the reason you mention.

I do share those two (different) passwords around the machines I own, (ie: all login passwords are the same, and the iCloud password is shared of course) but I don’t see that as extending my risk at all. All of those machines are under my control for the login, and I know how well Apple secure the iCloud one.
What monitors have worked for this for you? My Samsung monitor seems to have a hard time finding the source I want.
> Obviously, these languages aren't Turing complete.

Interestingly, a Turing complete language without non-halting programs could exist conceptually (rather, many do); it's just impossible to know it has that property (hard to use in practice if you don't know it has the guarantees you'd like), and it can't be finitely describable (impossible to implement a compiler for it which doesn't sometimes "succeed" at compiling invalid programs).
Ah neat, then I do have an actual question for you. If you're using ROS 2, which version and middleware? And does it work reliably in your application?

I feel like lots of companies have ditched ROS 1 only because of support being cut and cargo culting about how ROS 2 is better for unclear reasons, but in practice it feels anything but production ready to me. Everyone talks big how Zenoh will solve everything, but the thing is a damn prototype and really goes against the whole idea that having a DDS will be somehow better instead of just adding absurd overhead in both CPU and networking.
While true, it also doesn't include any of the hardware needed to move around. I'm sure it would be possible to build a drone that includes it as the microcontroller, but that creates a substantial barrier to actually getting something off the ground.

I have looked at the Ryze Tello [0] before, and it seems like a decent entry-level device, but I'm not sure whether it's actually a huge pain to develop for. I'd like something to be extendable _like_ a Pico, for instance if I want to install additional sensors, but all of these platforms are quite foreign to me.

Question: how is trauma treated in this model? Basically, the concept is that there are hypersensitive neural pathways and your goal is to de-sensitize them? Is that right?

Is there any parallel to the behaviouralist concept of behaviour extinction? Because that is really hard to achieve. Sounds similar to Exposure therapy too

I don’t really want to talk about why but I’d love to know more about it

Since Grozny, Putin has been a brutal war criminal for me. For me, nothing justifies this war.

It is a political question of how to deal with Russia's claims to power in Ukraine or the Caucasus. Georgia was smarter in my opinion. Ukrainian nationalists and their neoconservative supporters from the USA were less wise.

There should be a political discussion.

Any flexibility/mobility routine will help new strength come faster, and will help prevent injury.

A major source of injury is not completely movements to full range of motion - not squatting below parallel, not locking out at the top of a deadlift, not touching your chest with the bar on a bench press or overhead press, etc. Not everyone has the flexibility/mobility to do that, but you're more prone to injury if you don't. So if you work a mobility program congruently with strength you will gradually get the mobility you need to complete the entire movement and not just part of it.
I learned a lot from watching YouTube, here are some that IMHO have great content for this, in no particular order:

https://www.youtube.com/@RobertFeranec

https://www.youtube.com/@MicroTypeEngineering (includes some nice critiques of viewer-submitted designs)

https://www.youtube.com/@AltiumAcademy (including some great conference talks)

I've also really enjoyed these for more basic understanding of electronics:

That said I'd say perhaps join a Discord. The MicroTypeEngineering channel has a fairly active Discord with a good mix of pros and hobbyists who help each other in design questions and such.
> So the pyramids are visible out to 3000 light years away if the aliens have extremely powerful optical telescopes.

Is such a telescope (resolving power etc.) actually possible? At the level of basic physics, could anyone build it, hypothetically?

I don't know, because I am an idiot who has spent 30 years building websites of various complexity and pretending that is advanced knowledge.
> I [...] went with Authelia

Great choice!

> keycloak [...]'s a behemoth

Really? It prefers a database, sure, but you can also store on disk. And you can also configure the main user with env variables.

It starts within <3s on my toy server since they refractored it a few years ago and uses less then 100mb ram (again, toy server, not many users etc)

Idk, calling that a behemoth is kinda a stretch at that point...?

The thing that annoys me about keycloak is how they decided to ship it. I really don't want to maintain a CI Pipeline to deploy it .. but you're kinda forced to with how they've designed their docker image.
Not an issue for enterprise as they're gonna be doing that anyway, but annoying for home servers

I am a renter myself, and I don't watch Fox. I much rather prefer living in cities(and I lived in expensive ones) where I can budget my rent on the free market, rather than be at the mercy of black markets, wait lists of 20 years and decrepit buildings that barely pass code.
bevy: 1M downloads, tons of example games, plugins and tutorials. large community of helpful people. school book example of well-run FOSS project.

fyrox: 12K downloads, first time I hear about it today.

I did a decent amount of research before settling on bevy two years ago, and I did not even encounter fyrox back then.

Since then I learned bevy and am happy working with it.

Following the bevy project's updates I gained a great deal of respect of the project lead and the long term goals of the project.

Also, since I'm mid project there's no good reason to switch frameworks now.

So why would I use fyrox?
Haha OK this is a good answer. :-)
It used to be “for the convenience of being able to buy a ticket from home” which is ridiculous by itself because online tickets makes things cheaper the venue. Now it is “for the convenience of the ability to buy tickets at all” because in some places that is the only way to buy tickets.

I had an electric company that charged a $2 fee for online payment. I seriously considered paying them by check every month. The choice seemed to be between they charging me $ for an online payment or I charging them $ (indirectly for all the labor it takes for processing a paper check, they even sent me a prepaid envelope). It is atrocious that a company charges us for making something cheaper for them. (I ended up using my banks bill pay feature because I didn’t want to risk a check being lost in the mail).
