It's not the flashiest thing, but I lost a bunch of weight (over 50 lbs) using a spreadsheet. The way I did it, I had one sheet with the macronutrients (including calories) and serving sizes of food I encountered, or recipes I made. This sheet got very large by the end. When I ate something, I'd copy out the row and paste it into a daily sheet that totaled everything up.

The downside is that it's not easy to add new foods, since I'd have to manually input everything. I almost consider this a feature, because sometimes I'd skip snacking because I didn't want to deal with adding it to the spreadsheet.

I said "tend to". A tendency does not make an absolute and complete genocide. I also said "I'm afraid", which is supposed to convey some level of uncertainty. Carnegie's donation doesn't invalidate my point, even if he wasn't an outlier.

> The irony is that one of the most ludicrously wealthy people in history was also probably the single largest contributor to public libraries.

Where you see irony, I see expected statistics: the largest contributor to pretty much anything has to be ludicrously rich. Because the only way to give that much, is to own even more.

And I will add that one incentive for rich people to donate is their public image. And in many cases their "donations" are largely neutered by tax cuts or by increasing the return on some of their other investments (basically their donations causing other of their investments to increase their returns). Donations by rich people aren't always genuinely generous.

C# Blazor certainly exists and works, although it feels really clunky. Only suitable for a true application, not for integrating with web pages. It's almost the inheritor of the Java "applet" and the HotJava browser.
Reminds me of this project: https://github.com/trichner/gitc0ffee which is used to take a commit, append some header to it to force the hash to collide with some prefix, such as `c0ffee`

The reference chases through to https://www.unicode.org/terminology/digits.html

Term: ASCII digits
Example: 0123456789 U+0030..U+0039
Explanation/Description:
Commonly used with Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and many other scripts, including some non-European scripts. Used in alternation with native digits in scripts that have them. (Some scripts with native digits make only limited use of ASCII digits.) Infrequently used in many of the remaining scripts.

Synonyms: Western digits, Latin digits, European digits

Which then links on to: https://www.unicode.org/glossary/#european_digits

> European Digits. Forms of decimal digits first used in Europe and now used worldwide. Historically, these digits were derived from the Arabic digits; they are sometimes called “Arabic numerals,” but this nomenclature leads to confusion with the real Arabic-Indic digits. Also called "Western digits" and "Latin digits." See Terminology for Digits for additional information on terminology related to digits.

A bit more on the tool:

- It allows you to connect any HTTP APIs and handle errors with built-in retry and fallback.

- Search from a catalog of APIs for documentation, specification, and examples.

- Process JSON data with standard tools such as JSONpath, JQ, and JSONata.

- Workflow that supports complex processing, such as split, join, and map.

- Define workflow definition as code.
It's honestly not that difficult at all, saying that as a designer.
I kinda agree. I don't think any of them are likely to be major players in the space, but I think they might be able to build niche products that serve specific markets better than Meta's generalist VR headset. They might try a lightweight, battery free, sitting headset for gamers or media applications, for example.

And I think just generally they're more likely to try random things than Meta are to get hype around some unique feature. Take the Asus Zenbook Duo as an example, it's not necessarily a great product but it's interesting and some people will buy it for that. Plus industry learns something from experiments like this.

Either way, it's a good move for Meta and it's good for the industry that there is a fully-featured OS available for hardware manufacturers.

cybertruck is bombing hard and essentially any discussion about them is how crappy that turned out to be. apocalypse-proof truck that can't even handle a car wash.

big buys by Hertz, et al, have also been a disaster, with the company ditching most of their EVs due to higher costs.

most discussions about the other teslas have been mixed but generally positive, but that's mostly irrelevant to stock price unless they're going to buy new EVs every year; the average age of a car on the road is ~11 years. This means Tesla has now saturated it's potential market, is failing to grow it, and will likely start rent-seeking behaviors via subscription price increases to attempt make up for the losses; these will alienate a lot of current, mostly-happy users, and push others away. kia, ford, and chinese makers have good options, and they will win a lot of current and potential telsa customers.

in other words, musk has saturated, then alienated, his core market, and failed to expand into new ones.

to hit the real value of that stock price it's going to need to fall wayyyy more than 40%; we'll see if the market movers that hold a lot of tesla, like the saudis, will let that happen

On one of my TVs, I have: a Roku, a Fire TV stick, a Chromecast, and an Apple TV.

The Apple TV is my favorite. It’s also the one that gets used the least. Because it’s one of the older models that has the glass remote and we drop the remotes all the time so it’s only used when I’m the only one watching and I generally control it from my iPhone (only iPhone in house). And it’s so much more expensive than the others. One Apple TV costs more than the others I have, combined.

As long as you stay within the Apple ecosystem, I find iCloud great. I pay for the 2Tb plan (technically part of Apple One, but I paid for the 1TB before that transition).

It does what I need, it easily syncs between all of my devices, and I kinda just don't have to think about it being there. Especially when I also use the Apple iWork stuff like Pages and Numbers.

The experience on Windows leaves a lot to be desired, but I just don't use it on Windows since my Windows machine is just for gaming so I don't need the drive there.

So honestly, yeah I think it is and once you go all in on iCloud with mail, notes, etc. It is really nice.

Add in the family plan so you can split 2TB with family (but you both have your own storage) it is an easy option in my book.

Unless the date in the comment is wrong and I missed some important update in 2024, this statement is not correct. Apple Books a chunk of the latest tech for a period of many months every now and then but there is a long tail of companies using TSMC for shorter projects and for using earlier tech.

I mean, some humility is in order. TSMC are succeeding because of these things, not in spite of them. Given the supposed need for expedience it's best to copy that as-is and then you can tweak it once it's up and running.

"Generation of Low-Inclination, Neptune-Crossing TNOs by Planet Nine" - Konstantin Batygin, Alessandro Morbidelli, Michael E. Brown, David Nesvorny

"Abstract: The solar system's distant reaches exhibit a wealth of anomalous dynamical structure, hinting at the presence of a yet-undetected, massive trans-Neptunian body - Planet 9. Previous analyses have shown how orbital evolution induced by this object can explain the origins of a broad assortment of exotic orbits, ranging from those characterized by high perihelia to those with extreme inclinations. In this work, we shift the focus toward a more conventional class of TNOs, and consider the observed census of long-period, nearly planar, Neptune-crossing objects as a hitherto-unexplored probe of the Planet 9 hypothesis. To this end, we carry out comprehensive N−body simulations that self-consistently model gravitational perturbations from all giant planets, the Galactic tide, as well as passing stars, stemming from initial conditions that account for the primordial giant planet migration and sun's early evolution within a star cluster. Accounting for observational biases, our results reveal that the orbital architecture of this group of objects aligns closely with the predictions of the P9-inclusive model. In stark contrast, the P9-free scenario is statistically rejected at a ∼5σ confidence-level. Accordingly, this work introduces a new line of evidence supporting the existence of Planet 9 and further delineates a series of observational predictions poised for near-term resolution."
I find the Unreal Engine source to be a reasonable reference for C++ discussions, because it runs just unbelievably well for what it does, and on a huge array of hardware (and software). And it's explicit with inlining, other hints, and even a million things that could be easily called micro-optimizations, to a somewhat absurd degree. So I'd take away two conclusions from this.

The first is that when building a code base you don't necessarily know what it's being compiled with. And so even if there were a super-amazing compiler, there's no guarantee that's what will be compiling your code. Making it explicit, so long as you have a reasonably good idea of what you're doing, is generally just a good idea. It also conveys intent to some degree, especially things like final.

The second is that I think the saying 'premature optimization is the root of all evil' is the root of all evil. Because that mindset has gradually transitioned to being against optimization in general outside of the most primitive things like not running critical sections in O(N^2) when they could be O(N). And I think it's this mindset that has gradually brought us to where we are today where need what what would have been a literal supercomputer not that long ago, to run a word processor. It's like death by a thousand cuts, and quite ridiculous.

I never found any kind of literature that clearly states that artificial keys are superior identifiers than natural ones.

Every material about relational data I've seen either just explains them, says they can be either natural or artificial, and leaves at that, or says there's some disagreement over what is better.

The unanimity exists only within field experts that apply the stuff. The theoreticians all disagree.

I have autistic people in my family, and one of them said (jokingly) that not knowing how to answer the questions on self assessment forms should be enough evidence of autism.

It was a joke, but there's something to it. People's autism can manifest in many different ways, but from what I have observed:

- Language seems full of ambiguity. ('How often is "often"?', or 'Concentrate on the full picture? It depends on the picture!')

- Reading too much into a question, so everything sounds impossible. ("How can I really know if someone is actually bored or pretending to be bored?")

- Questions from a neurotypical perspective seem absurd, since your experiences are so different. (Adaptive behaviors like assuming people are bored could make this seemingly simple yes/no question irrelevant.)

There's probably more.
I'm super interested in cellular automata.

One thing that particular piques my interest is the diversity of possible automata, not just forms in any particular one, but diversity of rule sets as well.

Do you think it was a historical accident this particular rule set became so famous, or not?

> Bugs! It catches lots of bugs.*

Unlikely. Maybe if you are using a language with a complete type system (let's face it, you are not), but otherwise you are necessarily going to have to encode all the type information into your tests anyway, so you haven't gained anything on this front. A partial type system cannot replace these tests.

Your other points are the real wins, though.

That is not what I am suggesting. I am wondering about ways to not allow people to redistribute in ways that increases your liability. i.e. the law would apply, but the people using it in the way that exposes you to liability would be in breach of copyright.

Sadly, looking more closely at the wording, this cannot be done in a GPL comaptible way. maybe we need new licenses to cover this.

> but as others said this will (arguably) only apply to real commercial activy

Aguably? maybe, but we need certainty. It does look as though a lot of smaller projects and developers will be at risk here if (for example) they dual license with a paid for version available, or sell support of consultancy services.

- The Station

- Tacoma

- They Came From A Communist Planet

These are all sci-fi walking sims, which is the genre of "wander around a strange place trying to figure out what happened and/or how to get out". Some walking sims have more of a traditional narrative and some have less, some are short (under an hour) and others are longer, some are comedic and some are more serious. There are lots and lots that aren't sci-fi too.

Probably the most accessible here is Tacoma, but it can get pretty rough on Intel graphics. If you want a free one you could try Electric Highways or Off-Peak, or if you don't care that they're not sci-fi you could try Gravity Bone, A Bewitching Revolution or Dr. Langeskov (suggested in a sibling comment).
No. That's utterly wrong interpretation, according to ECJ.

IP is not PII per se(on it's own, if you don't understand that phrase)

If it's hard to understand, it's the same with phone numbers. Your phone number is PII, yet in every country with an option to move your phone number to another phone line provider - they are all very much not private... And telco can check if your phone number is in use, and not only telco. Phone numbers are significantly more private than IPs.
It's because nature never actually had to solve that problem: "how do we encode the structure we have here into genes and chromosomes so that it can procreate".

The genes randomly mutate, and their result is subject to fitness testing.

The fascinating thing about evolution is that it's not actually necessary. The "unevolved" creatures persist just fine. The continued survival of cockroaches and whatnot proves that evolving to human levels is superfluous.
I use LogSeq as the general tool, and I started with a combination of PARA and GTD and have tweaked from there.

What that looks like is that I use LogSeq's daily journals and extensive use of tags and properties. So maybe that looks like (simplified example):

(for list organization)

LATER #towatch “20 Days in Mariupol” #documentary - Sandra's recommendation
category:: film

Then, I might have another page with a query like:

{{query (and (property :category "film") (todo later now))}}

but I can also go to the tag page documentary or towatch and have anything I've tagged there. Now, I don't tend to get too deep into watching lists, and stick mostly to non-fiction.

I have a book template and article template that focuses me on key insights, and I just take general notes on what is surprising to me or useful to go back to. I take liberal copies everywhere and clean up later. I don't go back daily, but I find it helps when I want to quickly brush up on something or if I want to refer to it in a way that I can send someone else something.
___

Now, to your 4) most of my lists are more work-focused. Again, I use PARA as my storage basics and I've adjusted as I've went. I blur projects and areas more than Tiago does, and use intermediate documents a lot less. I also use daily journals as a lot of my organization because my temporal memory and search generally lets me remember where to put things, but it does mean I have to get back to people later. The real problem is managing the knowledge base and I just keep everything in daily journal until I need to organize it.

LogSeq does generally use markdown and lists, but the more features you use the further away it becomes useful outside LogSeq. If I ever moved away from it, my search would largely be "grep".

I co-organise an event with a non-technical friend. Previously it was using some sort of a custom cms which was hell. I set it up with Jekyll, created a GitHub account for my friend and taught him markdown (five minutes perhaps). Yes he breaks things occasionally. That's fine!
