> for each kilogram of lost weight, calorie expenditure decreases by about 20–30 kcal/d whereas appetite increases by about 100 kcal/d above the baseline level prior to weight loss.

> Obesity is a disorder of the GABA-ergic central nervous system

This is too reductive. As a person who used to be fat and lost ~20kg over a few months by eating only 1 meal/day, I cannot symphatize with people who say they cant lose weight because of their genetics or whatever because you are supposed to feel hungry when losing weight.

That said, I get that many people just cant resist that hungry feeling. However, I've seen so many people who make these arguments eat tons of ready meals, desserts loaded with sugar, giant milkshakes etc. If they were serious about losing weight they could at least eat things like cucumbers or lettuce that keep you full with minimal amount of calories ingested.

The gist of it to me seems like these drugs are for people who are willing to pay thosands of $ to feel as full as when they were eating their 5000kcal/day diet without having to endure the feeling of not eating that amount. Which, contrary to your claim, boils down to the willpower issue. These drugs let you buy your way out of the willpower requirement.
Woosh, probably :-)

A year ago there seemed to be a lot HN commenters saying they would never RTO and if their companies implement RTO they will just jump ship. Is that still possible in this environment?

So generally, anecdotes aren't a substitute for data. Which is why I linked to a meta analysis that incorporated 29 long-term studies that followed people for five years. Don't you think in the face of that, that your experience may be either (a) not representative of people in general or (b) you haven't waited long enough to see what happens next to yourself?

> These drugs let you buy your way out of the willpower requirement.

Or and hear me out, similar to the way your body maintains its set temperature by adjusting various factors - it also maintains a set weight. And that over a longer period of time you are as likely to "will" your way to a new weight set point as you are to a new temperature set point. Despite being able to temporarily lower your body temperature by taking cold swims.

Because frankly, that's what the data says.

If you read the link I provided you might learn something interesting...

But even if this was the case (and it's not) who cares? The goal is to get people to a healthy weight. Since moralizing hasn't done anything, and your approach has been an utter failure, why should you hold this drug that objectively works against anyone?
Ah, I can understand that.
My first language was QBASIC. I had fun making a lot of games. But then I ran into things I couldn't do (with low-level hardware), were too slow (with graphics), etc. This motivated me to learn C and assembly. I imagine it will be similar with Scratch!

You're forgetting the people who absolutely were not fine. If those people die in childhood often enough, that eventually gets removed from or significantly reduced in the gene pool, but people have to die first. It's like asthma. Those kids used to just die. Now we have inhalers, so it appears like asthma is on the rise when it's more that less people die from it. It looks like adults who grow up drinking that water are fine, but you're ignoring the toddlers who died from drinking that water.
I'm an expert snorer and can snore in any position. Probably central apnea, which only activates when most comfortable; previous sleep study showed nothing, presumably because I wasn't totally comfortable. I'd self medicate with a cpap if they were sold without a prescription. B1 with dinner/before bed helps, oddly.

Also, my previous cats preferred to sleep on my chest, so they trained me to sleep without a lot of motion. Currenrly, one cat likes to sleep on my legs and overheats them, resulting in a lot of movement at night; the other cat will only briefly visit at night, but will help me stay in place for naps on the couch.

Finder has always been like that. There have been some updates, but the core features of the UI have barely changed since 10.1.

I'm finding this with software everywhere. Products keep doing the same old stupid shit they did when they were first released. "Refinements" are poorly-designed cruft.

Is there anyone in charge of the OS X experience? There seems to be a lot of resume development - features that can be illustrated with smiling people in a video but don't really work all that well - and not so much interest in the core UX.

I still find it better than Windows, but the gap between what it could be and what it is keeps growing.

That's a definite it depends.

Macs are finnicky with hardware (but hdmi sucks by definition, they think you bought the cable and monitor to pirate movies and not to do some work).

However the GUI actually works and if you spend a week on windows 10+ you'll remember why people buy Mac OS.

Personally I have a Mac for stuff that requires a GUI and a headless linux box that I ssh into. And I switched to Macs from ... Linux on the desktop.

Edit: docker is shit because they just install a Linux VM and run their Linux stuff in there. Same on Windows I guess.
Extracting data from a small CSV file with Python
The "Iron, How Did They Make It" collections from Bret Devereaux ( https://acoup.blog/2020/09/18/collections-iron-how-did-they-... ) describe the complete process of making iron tool (you want to make some steel: for that you need some iron; for that you need to melt it; for that you need heat; for that you need coal; for that you wood) in a medieval setting.

Otherwise I enjoy the Primitive Technology YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@primitivetechnology9550 ). John Plant makes stuff strictly and entirely from scratch. It really shows how difficult it is to start civilization.The distinct lack of spoken narration and typical YouTube overstimulation is refreshing (it's closer to the ASMR style of channel in that regard).
Sorry to hear that, could you expand on the paint points? Esp. on the friction points, where it was different than just using `tofu` instead of `terraform` in your commands.

To answer some of your points:

There's no point in forking the providers, as they're still open-source, you're just fetching them from our registry - registry.opentofu.org.

Core docs are generally the same as Terraform docs, but we're still missing the registry UI to explore provider docs (and are currently working on a design for that).
Correct, and to add - It is infinitely harder to force yourself through the start-up meat grinder if you know that if that start-up fails it does not materially impact you financially.
MacOS has bugs and inconsistencies everywhere. Some are bugs, some are inconsistent UX, only a few of them are "well... I just don't like it". An example: you cannot right click app-icons in the Docker in the mission control overview.

The list of specific annoyances and bugs is likely in the 3 digits by now, and I've only used it for half a year.

The worst of all was getting the M2 soft-bricked by an update, because I had changed the display frame rate to 60Hz, because the tween duration when moving between desktops was for some reason tied to this refresh rate. About 2 second tween duration on 120 Hz until input control, and one second on 60 Hz. Impressive for such a thing to not be picked up by QA.
These drugs let you buy your way out of the willpower requirement.

Doesn't that describe a huge class of drugs. Lots of maladies will eventually go away by themselves if you ignore them, drugs just makes the process faster and more comfortable. I mean what are pain killers other than a way to buy yourself a way out of the willpower requirement to ignore your pain.

The reputation was well earned when Linux on the Desktop wasn’t as easy or friendly as it is today and was severely lacking good quality GUI applications.

Windows was a virus laden mess and was not useful for running Linux apps.

And besides the flaws of the other OS’es, OS X had some of the nicest window management features (Expose from the Snow Leopard is still my favorite window switcher), was a UNIX and had a thriving indie development scene (which was basically killed by iOS…).

Since then OSX has completely languished as a developer platform. It’s not clear what you can do today as a developer to make your life easier that you could not a decade ago on OSX. And in fact, the destruction of the indie dev scene, combined with the many heavy handed security restrictions of dubious benefit have made it a far worse dev environment than a decade and a half ago.

Further, Linux DEs have greatly improved and Windows now supports Linux development.

The Mac ecosystem has seen a complete turnaround where you now buy a Mac for the hardware, not the software.

The story goes that one of Niels Bohr's friends visited him and found him deeply engrossed in writing an application to a fund. Surprised, the friend asked why it took so long for such a prominent scientist as Bohr to write a simple application. Bohr replied, "I'm trying to make it short, but I haven't had time yet."
Maybe the problem is that you don't know what "de facto" means? You seem to imagine that the first prototype of Requests was uploaded and aha - it's a "de facto standard" so now we're fine.

No, the way "de facto" standards happen is it becomes apparent over considerable time that in fact this is what everybody does, it is the standard de facto. This is how the IETF's Internet standards (as opposed to RFCs) work for example. Requests became a de facto standard, meanwhile other people wrote libraries "for the same X functionality" which did not.

So in fact the thing you claim is unacceptable and happens third actually happens second and the state you claim is OK and precludes that, in fact happened later and as a consequence of the thing you think is unacceptable.

Yes, if you use Cloudflare or Vercel or Netlify it does take just a few seconds to update. AWS Lambda updates are mystifyingly slow, and CloudFormation seems to add a ton of overhead regardless how complex or simple your setup is. (I guess this "40% faster!" means they reduced the overhead a bit?)

I see, looks like your card is too old for the official open source amdgpu support, meaning you should either install the unofficial open source ati drivers as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ATI or try the official proprietary drivers from AMD (which I assume will be too outdated to function on a modern kernel?).
As a bootstrapped founder I am biased but given everything I have seen and heard in the last couple of decades I think the tone has shifted from success at any cost to creating sustainable/profitable businesses.

It also helps that in many ways creating a startup has been commoditized. Specifically, it's now cheaper and easier to use various online tools to get a new business up and running with little upfront cash/time than ever before. This trend will continue.

That's not to say this is true for all startups but it is true for the majority of them.

The good old days of being able to exploit starry eyed kids for their ideas in return for taking the majority of their equity is hopefully behind us.

> If the market valued performance more then we would probably see competitive services which optimize for performance, but we generally don't.

I believe there is some nuance to this due to the winner-takes-all nature of modern software services. There simply isn't a lot of choice for users or switching is expensive so companies don't do it and employees are forced to suffer through horrible performance.

OK, I suppose this could be arranged. The seal has to be over the whole of the "back side" of the envelope, where the flap is. Then put the address and the postage over that, and the post office stamps it.

What confused me was how you would achieve post office stamping over a seal that's on the wrong side of the envelope, where the flap is.
Is this from the engineers who will do the work, or the MBAs who have decided on an acceptable metric?

Funnily, as a brit, I have always had the ability to sit in a deep squat comfortably and it's not even from tons of practice. I only even realised that its unusual to be able to do and that it may be good for you when I was about 21. By which point there were many people who couldn't do it already. I certainly hadn't been practicing it throughout my teenage years.

I mean, that’s great, but it is still CloudFormation.

It can now explode our deployments that create more than 50 ALB rules per MINUTE even faster.

Seriously:

1. Why does it not know about the rate limits other services have.

2. Why does it not automatically retry if it is rate limited.

3. Why is there a rate limit of less than a request per second in the first place!

Power delivery is fine where I live, mostly decarbonated, too. So, power draw in and of itself is not an issue for me personally.

The reason I care is that a CPU (or any component) drawing this much power will turn it to a lot of heat. These components don't like actually being hot, so require some kind of contraption to move that heat elsewhere. Which usually means noise. I hate noise.

Also, air conditioning isn't widespread where I live, and since it's an apartment, I need permission from the HOA to set up an external unit (internal units are noisy, so I don't care for them, because I hate noise). So having a space heater grilling my legs in the summer is a pain. I also hate heat.

So, I don't see this as buying a "subpar product". I see it as trying to figure the correct compromise between competing characteristics for a product given my constraints.

This page is over ten years old. Back then, it was relatively easy to use ARP spoofing on the local network, identify your workstation as the gateway to the Internet and does MitM.

One of the slightly more subtle tricks that took a long time for people to identify was to modify ad banners so that they pointed to another provideur. Servers were fixed, image sizes were standardised, etc. This also required much less computing power and bandwidth.
