I’m a psychotherapist. I think there’s many possible factors in the past 100 years which could contribute to our poor mental health. For example: hormonal birth control, exceptionally high THC cannabis, single parent families (nothing creates personality disorders that mimic psychosis like insecure attachment and high stress households), and widespread glyphosate. But I agree with your theory that omega-6 fatty acids and super high carb foods are deleterious to our mental health. I was a vegan in my teens and 20s and now eat almost exclusively meat (beef, like yourself), eggs, cheeses, and whole plant foods. This is the largest modifiable risk factor by far.

I routinely recommend a ketogenic diet to my clients, and many of them are interested, but at the same time have to encourage them to consult with a physician or prescriber for support. This is where the possibilities end for most clients because few mental health prescribers buy into this model and even fewer want to risk their licensure or credentialing by going against the dogma.
Seems to be (ex-?)programmers engaging in political activism.
Also, lots of parallel fibre was laid by NtL and friends in the early 2000s, which is the useful stuff. I think Virgin Media bought it all, and that's what they offer as their broadband.
I've often wondered what would happen if I plopped down on the steps of SF City Hall with a 6 pack and started downing them... ought to test it sometime.
98% of homeless people are addicts or mentally ill people. They can't hold a home no matter how cheap it is. Affordable housing won't stop homelessness, because drug addicts and mentally ill people will consume themselves and in the process lose everything including their housing.
I bought one too, and I think its amazing. The Apple TV content presentation is incredible.

Once you get used to the immersion it can provide, it makes the entire existing paradigm of hand held, desk or lap-rooted screens as output seem like a compromise that we will look back on like the dial on a rotary telephone.

Vision Pro needs more software, and it needs Apple to lead a move from stationary to room scale experiences.

I don't know that developers being burned from existing App Store policies is why the software is slow to come. Development of apps that effectively work in Apple's "spatial" concept is not easy.

It isn't even clear what truly spatial software aught to be able to do, because there aren't enough examples. Even Apple's first party apps are ~2D windows. You have to look at some of the highlighted games to get an idea for what is actually possible.
> I, and I'm pretty sure most other gamers, would rather a fully-finished "perfect" game that took twice as long

I have recently completed Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty. The game crashed 4-5 times during 100-150 hours of gameplay. The crashes were pretty much painless because I quick save often.

The game was amazing.

The development of the game started in 2012, 12 years ago. I’m not sure you or most gamers would rather want a fully-finished "perfect" Cyberpunk 2077 game released in 2036.
Learning is like nutrition. There is no ”one true way", instead there are lots of people and each one has their own approach to learning.

Some people are closer to each other, and upon realizing that they believe they've found a pattern. But it's like when people tell you that you need to supplement x in your diet. It's possible that x helped you. And it's even possible that you'll find other people with the same nutritional deficit, creating the illusion that everyone would benefit from supplementing. But that's just what it is: a premature extrapolation from anecdotes
Unless I missed something the article never really explained how to contribute to open source software the "right" way so its kind of silly. According to the article there are four ways:

1.) Use open source software (Fair enough but not helpful)

2.) Take over a unmaintained package (If your a brand new developer probably not the best idea!

3.) Make your own thing (Not really what most people want to do...)

4.) Get paid to do it (Not really possible for new developers)

I don't feel like any of those are reasonable solutions. I'm not a particularly good programmer but I have just recently been trying to contribute to an open source project (Apparently doing it the "wrong way" according to the article!) and its going amazing! Everyone is very helpful pointing out issues with my PR and helping me understand what to do better.

Is it the most efficient use of the maintainers time? As of right now, probably not! However, if I continue to help develop the project them training me now will certainly be worth while as I become better at contributing.
Same. Thinking to move somewhere that's less likely to deport a stateless person...

Didn't know it's fake, thanks
> The reason you couldn't have an open source passkey manager that allows backup is that it wouldn't be a "passkey manager" then, just a password manager. To be a passkey it seems to require that it can't be exported/viewed other than by the website it was created for(even by the user).

That's simply false, and there are passkey managers that allow this - KeePassXC for example.
There was a fungus that you could apply to your yard which killed ticks. It was called Met52, made by Novozymes. They appear to have sold the rights to it to Lallemand:

https://www.lallemandplantcare.com/en/usa/products/product-d...

https://www.lallemandplantcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/0...

https://www.lallemandplantcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/0...

https://www.lallemandplantcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/0...

The above specimen sheet does mention use against ticks. Also if you look up the old Novozymes safety sheet it mentions use for tick suppression (pages 4 and 5):

https://evenspray.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Met52_EC_la...

I had Met52 applied to my yard just before it went off the market for use against ticks and haven't seen a tick since. Possibly the fungus has taken up residence in the soil, though I still take precautions since Met52 protection was not supposed to last forever and required periodic reapplication. You can still buy Met52 and Lallemand's version:

https://www.evergreengrowers.com/m52-lalguard.html

https://www.planetnatural.com/product/met52-ec/

I have not been able to find any information about why it is no longer advertised for use against ticks. The pesticide specialist I hired to do my yard says Met52 was discontinued because no one was buying it (not enough profit). It's still widely used against a variety of agricultural pests in greenhouses and on farms. It's supposed to be very safe, it is not a poison and it targets only specific pests, though the application instructions say the applicator should wear a high quality pesticide style respirator when applying it (breathing lots of spores does seem like a risk and maybe the liquid the spores are in is toxic).

I am NOT recommending anyone try applying it themselves. Talk to a licensed pesticide specialist if you want to make inquiries about it. It could be an option for some people. It appears to be available in most of the USA.
My best open source contribution (judged by the fact that its founder wanted to meet me specifically when he was in town) was to a project that I use and deeply care about, yet I couldn't contribute as I am not fluent in the programming language used.

So I did the next best thing and made an effort to collect a list of UI/UX papercuts and logical inconsistencies, each with a list of proposed options to fix it, sometimes including mock ups how I imagined it could look like. And posted it in multiple well sorted issues once I felt it had a certain level. I did this after giving the maintainer a friendly hint of the things that I planed and told them to not feel pressured to resolve any of that quickly (or at all).

He still did and that lifted the software from a usable but rough piece of software to another level.

Then as I was already very familiar with the UI I went and write the documentation for the usage.

The worst open source contributions are the once where you quickly "fix" a thing that has never been broken all while not coordinating with the other people on the project.
Picaridin and DEET are roughly equal in effectiveness, but picaridin is safer for pets, and doesn't have a nasty habit of destroying synthetic fabrics.
Under their former CEO Richard Anderson, Amtrak achieved profitability for the first time in its history and had a solid long term business plan that entailed focusing on Acela and investing in improvements there at the expense of the unprofitable outlying routes (many of which are west of Chicago). We could privatize Amtrak next year and they could follow that same business plan—in fact, they’d probably have to. But unfortunately Anderson’s tenure and plan did not last very long, since “Amtrak CEO” is a three year political appointment.

> “Train geeks” have no meaningful public policy pull, it is silly and counterproductive to insinuate they have much to do with lobbying and promoting long distance rail

So who do you think managed to stuff $22 billion of Amtrak subsidies into the 2021 infrastructure act? Fairies?

There are tons of small, dedicated lobbies that are organized and effective enough that they can pressure the government into these sorts of policies, and the train geeks are certainly one of them. Or maybe they just managed to infiltrate the ranks of policy staffers. These people hated Anderson because he was threatening their favorite “historic” long haul routes, like the Seattle-Chicago “Empire Builder”, in favor of focusing on Acela.
Me, watching video: so now they're going to desolder the original flash chip, put it into a chip programmer and copy data to the new one, resizing the file system as needed.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the people on the street doing drugs have other issues. I live in Vancouver. People have mental health and other problems that aren't related to their housing status.

The problem isn't simply housing costs. The problem is the lack of a social support structure. Shelters, access to (mental) health care of various forms, addiction treatment etc... Even in "socialist" (ha) Canada you're mostly on your own. BC used to have more money for those things and at some point in the early 2000's those budgets were cut with pretty immediate impact on the homelessness situation. That said housing should be part of the solution but it all boils down to the attitude that you don't need to take care of ($$$) your neighbor. Each to their own. Worse in the US ofcourse but still.

When I came to Vancouver ~23 years ago I was absolutely shocked by the homeless situation. I've never seen anything like that. It's much worse now. Again, boils down to are members of society willing to take care of each other- or is it each to their own and ignore the people who are down. House prices were 1/8th of what they are now but there was no shortage of drug addicts on the streets. North Americans seem to generally be ok with having a mix of worse than the 3rd world alongside middle class and well off. Nobody cares about what goes on in their city. I guess not trending on TikTok.
Everything is dead until it isn’t anymore.

RSS was dead and yet people are rediscovering it and plenty of people are still using it.

Blogs were dead and yet plenty of people are creating new ones.

Email is dead and yet newsletters are growing in popularity.

Young people simply use whatever is trending at the time they start using the web. Most of them don’t even know that there are alternatives.

I heard from plenty of < 25 years old that didn’t even know RSS existed. Some are baffled at the idea of being able to connect to someone via email rather than a DM.
when pronounced backwards it sounds a whole lot like „revenue“
Drugs cost actual resources to produce. Giving them away for free will distort the market towards more consumption than ideal. And unlike e.g. healthcare or education, it's not like we can morally justify that overconsumption. Taxpayers shouldn't be paying to get/keep people addicted to drugs.

Every OS except the one that had 95% market share in late 90s. Apple was only propped up “Weekend at Bernies” style to appease regulators.
For example I can't run Windows XP in a VM with acceptable performance.
A neighbor caught a tick borne disease (not Lyme) even though she took precautions. The tick came off a tree onto her head and she didn't notice it there. So consider all attack angles.

Watch out for West Nile also!
It's not a problem of mental model, it's a problem of scale. If I'm switching phone, the last thing I want to do is to go to every website I have an account on and essentially do a second sign up. This is simply a non-starter, and is a big part of why companies like Apple and Google are pushing for this spec: it nicely ties you in to their ecosystem and gives you a huge reason not to move to a different ecosystem.
Show HN: Sleepsort – Sorting While Sleeping
My take on sleepsort.
If you take precautions, you might get bitten once a season. Taking antibiotics once or twice a year isn’t all that insane.

Why not just use permethrin or anti tick clothing if you’re regularly pulling off 10-20 ticks. It’s disgusting and you can get some other serious diseases besides Lyme like Rocky mountain fever, alpha gal or encephalitis that are harder to treat or have no cures.

I’ve always heard the 24-36 hour thing is a statistical probability figure. You most probably won’t but you could get it as soon as the tick attaches as well. Also if you squeeze the body of an engorged tick as you’re pulling it out, you force all the contents of its stomach (where the Lyme bacteria lives), into your bloodstream. Always use tweezers and go for the head.
Ohh bun shell looks interesting. I was looking at zx[1] for some frontend pipeline scripting tasks that were just beyond maintainable bash, but maybe I'll give bun shell a go.

That's not true. Phone and PC have to communicate via bluetooth.
In DE, we have “Zeckenrollen”. [1] They are filled with cotton material that mice will carry to their nest. And it’s treated with some tick killing substance.

I tend to recommend Opus Magnum as an introduction, it's a lot easier to plan with, nice to look at, and has a somewhat more engaging story than most.

I'm a big fan of all of the puzzle ones, though. SpaceChem had a huge impact on me, my most-viewed YouTube video is this one little clip from January 2, https://youtu.be/dlJmKqi6EEc . But very hard to explain why it occupied my whole soul for a week!
Yeah, but as a historically huge fan of Toyota, even I must admit that Toyota's electric offerings are lackluster. I think Doug DeMuro had the bZ4X on his list of "actually bad cars for sale in 2024."
Isn't that what you have a Federal Government for in the US? Naturally if just one city starts some programs it can't take on the entire US population of homeless people.

The solution to this in-migration should be clear. These programs need to be offered in every single city in the entire country. People need to pay more taxes to fund social programs. I'm clearly not American ;)
Integration means communication and there are changes happening all the time. SSLv3, TLSv1, went away.

The problem is a lack of modularity and standardised interfaces where it matters (and modularity where it doesn't, causing additional useless complexity), and incentives that reward planned/forced obsolescence.

I'm incredibly fortunate to have never had a tick bite, but my wife has and got Lyme. Don't fuck around, go get the antibiotics immediately. If your doctor doesn't believe you, write a formal complaint to their board after finding another doctor.

I don't know if it's codified anywhere (and unlike Germany, we've got 50 states' worth of laws), but public libraries in the US also [almost always] provide free Internet access.

...and somehow, I'm not at all sure what that has to do with a New York City law requiring ISPs to sell Internet access for people's homes at a price of $15 monthly -- regardless of where in the world a public library might be.
Repealing the Law of Supply & Demand never works.
Kind of true, however they had endless amounts of inline Assembly, as shown on the Black Book as well.

I know of at least a MS-DOS game, published on Portuguese Spooler magazine, that was using Turbo C++ basically as a macro assembler.

One of the PlayStation selling points for developers was being the first home console with a C SDK, while SEGA and Nintendo were still doing Assembly, C++ support only came later to the PlayStation 2.

While I agree C++, BASIC, Turbo Pascal, AMOS were being used a lot, specially in the Demoscene, they were our Unity, from the point of view of successful game studios.
U.S. Code § 1
I don’t think anyone actually relies on Amtrak service in any meaningful way. The only line that anyone might rely on, Acela, is profitable by itself.

USPS has a universal service obligation but also a legal monopoly. Meaning that if you try and start your own postal service, the feds will literally shut it down and throw you in prison. Its probably no coincidence that USPS also has abominably nonexistent spam filtering, to the degree that the majority of USPS service I’ve received in my entire adult life consisted of myself throwing away and/or shredding the vast majority of crap that they shove in my mailbox six days a week. And any suggestion that maybe they cut down to shoving crap in my mailbox 5 or even 4 days a week is treated like it would be the end of Western civilization.
As someone who has done open source work, i sadly agree. People who contribute because they want it on their resume or want "experience" without caring about or using the software usually make terrible contributors.
Absolutely yes, though the original naming committee (Francis?) probably didn't think of it - it's literally a cube of instrumented ice. Not so much the other way around I suspect. A while back some IceCube folks paid for a shout-out from Ice Cube, the rapper (I guess they used Cameo).
This reads like an anti-government rant.

Why you would think drug production and distribution would be vastly different than the current pharmaceutical system I don't know.
It’s dystopian, Minority Report dark.

> but not offer effective recovery options

They do offer treatment, but few take it.
Edit: everything I say below is not just wrong, but confidently wrong...

"Communicate over bluetooth" doesn't mean anything. What app or BT device would they be using? How would a PC communicate with a YubiKey over bluetooth?

I have no idea where you got this strange concept from, but registering multiple passkeys from multiple devices on the same account on a site requires no communication between the devices - it only requires a trusted device to approve the request.
Most startups today probably preserve the vast majority of their code, due to how prolific git is. Companies that don't use monorepos may have a bit of a problem, if your stack is a mess of microservices, some of which you eventually retire, it's easy for that old code to get lost.

Before the popularization of source control, things were different. A lot of people would just edit code Villy-nilly, only keeping very recent backups and the source for major versions, if that. There were no commits and hence no tags, so reproducing the code used to build a specific, minor version might be completely impossible. There were no branches, so ports and patches were often made by copying the code tree, doing some changes, compiling and then forgetting about the whole thing. It was entirely possible for a game studio to give their code over to another team or company, have them do a port and never actually care much for the ported code themselves.

Then there's the problem of external components, most of which were licensed, third-party software, not open source libraries. Even now, they may technically still fall under copyright and be impossible to release.
With the introduction of this "actions" stuff I have finally completed the last step to becoming the simpsons' meme "old man yells at <react>". As in, after using it since around 2016 I think I will be looking for something different.
> It's your body. Put what you want in it.

What happens after? If you become an addict and steal shit from my car to pay for more shit you want and now need to put in you?

Making people addicted is the opposite of making them free. People have understood this very well for a long time now.
The vault doesn’t need to access each system to rotate the keys. It just needs to sign a new token with a short expiry date.

The system reading the token can verify its integrity based on the signature.

Now the vault obviously must have a master key to do the signature. It’s a very powerful privilege, that can impersonate, yet not quite as privileged as being sysadmin to all systems.

The main advantage of this is that tokens that the users use can quickly be revoked. They always need to go back to the vault to get new tokens, here you can add more powerful protections and logs, always MFA.
Seems buggy, if your try the first example (https://www.univer.ai/examples/sheets/) then go to data validation, try to type chars in the date field, this is crashing the whole page ... wow

That wasn't the point. On a long enough timeline, the security of all systems drops to zero. If the entire world is running x86, then the threat model for attackers revolves around abusing x86. If things are homogeneous, it raises the bar and resourcing required to make attacks.

As always with security, everything is a tradeoff.
there's also pre-rendering and then making fetches for data at runtime.
Opus Magnum is a good entry point. If not that then Last BBS. I know most his games but only dedicated myself to these two. I’m trying to “finish” the main stories and then move to TIS100 or Shenzen

> My role has significant on-call responsibility. It's nice to be able to take it charged anywhere I could need it and know that for several hours it can handle anything I will throw at it, reliably.

You could do that for years with an extended battery in ThinkPads (and Dell I think, never used them). More so, you could just bring additional charged batteries with you, in case you really needed.

But yes, it took a little more space and weight than M1.

So M1 didn't allowed people on-call to be able "to throw anything at it for several hours", the tech was already there. The only thing M1 did bring is a small savings in the weight and space for the people who needs a glorified terminal with them.

Hint: ultrabooks were a thing long before M1.
