Show HN: Zen Your VS Code
I got annoyed with the many comments & prints cluttering my coding in VS Code, so I made this extension to make all the comments and prints disappear (i.e., turn them invisible so your brain doesn't can't read them). Works really well for me and for a dozen others so far, thought I'd share this cool idea.

Give it a try ;)
Thanks for the heads up, I am looking into it
> They could make verification a paid service. Once verified yourself you can filter out unverified people. Unverified people can't see verification status of others.

Or make verification a menu of choices. Imagine if they had a “verify bank account > X”. I’m sure there’s some gold diggers / sugar daddies (and mommas) that would find that helpful.
> Why that can't happen without sleep is another interesting question.

I would guess that since sleep has been optimized by evolution for a long time, and evolution is so creative, that there are now countless dependencies on that time/phase separation.

But umbrella reasons probably include all of these:

1. To recognize unhealthy build of material for removal, you have to stall normal production. Otherwise production and removal would waste each other's efforts and pernicious build up would be undetectable.

2. Some cellular machinery may be used during normal and clean up operations, in different things. Evolution is great at reusing whatever is available.

3. Sleep involves coordinating many systems. Some subsystems might technically be capable of operating more flexibly, but coordinating all the systems together makes overall coordination simple, efficient and reliable.

4. Sleep isn't low energy behavior. Segmenting energy use between waking and sleeping maintains a lower metabolism envelope.

5. Dreaming is high level behavior. Can't high level think and dream at the same time.

6. Dreaming sensory free, motor free, operation is fundamentally at odds with normal active sensory and motor activity.

7. A billion random dependences on phase separation have accumulated over millennia, at the psychological, gene, epigenetic and chemical level, with no pre-ordaned rationale other than the separation was dependable for the other reasons given.

Intersting that octopuses, whose brains are an entirely separate "alien" evolutionary invention, also appear to dream. [0]

British Cycling confident new track bike will deliver more gold
Boker makes good knives and German knives in general are known to be very high quality. The makers I mentioned earlier are in a different tier though and probably cost twice to 3x as much and have much tighter quality control and generally better/more expensive materials.
Small / detached residential buildings have never really been valuable in japan, with exceptions: because of natural disasters either you could not expect the building to last that long, or by the time you went around to buy it it was not up to code anymore and you had to tear it down to build a new one.

Also while Japan's population declines overall, it also concentrates in a few metropolises, so rural land becomes cheaper, but also ever less attractive. Same with smaller cities. Japan is not going to have "ridiculously affordable housing for the foreseeable future", because the cheap housing is not where people are looking for housing. It's like saying that the US has affordable housing because NM has cheap land.

Why not both? My Atari 800 came with a BASIC and a Logo cartridge. Logo was the thing that got my attention first because it could draw pictures on a TV screen right away, but writing BASIC programs and storing them on a cassette tape was the thing that got me hooked for life.

Not OP, but presumably Switzerland is "in the EU" the same way Hawai'i is in the ocean. It's objectively above sea level, and not literally in the ocean. But when you're surrounded by ocean to that extent, it can have a large impact on the way life is lived.

You don't need much for verification that a profile is real. Photo of someone taking a selfie while following instruction (thumbs up, peace sign etc) alongside of their other photos, and AI or human confirmation before your profile is greenlit with a verified badge. That is all that is needed to confirm human.

To confirm these humans aren't extortionists would require photo ID verification like a license submission.

Strong sense of design, with a focus on user experience and the Little Big Details (the little details, that make a big difference).

If you care about the implementation details, me too, I unit test when applicable, and create maintainable code. Building a solid foundation for your app and business.

If you don't care about the details, cool, neither do your users. They just want a slick design and user experience, which is my specialty; from a minimalist design, to the Little Big Details.

There is no more a deflationary loop than an inflationary loop.

Inflation/deflation happens when there is a mismatch between the supply of money and the value of goods and services in the economy. This mismatch usually happens because the central bank prints deficit money.

Deflation in the 1930s happened because the Fed went the other way, refusing to create money. This continued until the late 30s when the Fed changed course, and (you guessed it) produced lots of inflation.
You committed some sort of cardinal sin by posting a graph with no y axis.
That is why you monitor the water supply. It is done in my rented apartment by a company commissioned by the landlord and it is done daily at the water works. If there are to many living organisms they add chlorine and inform the public, which happens only every couple of years.

The alternative is dead organisms plus a quite toxic substance in your water.
This one sometimes can be useful
Mine too, and I think the post is fine also, but I have some idea of what that person was talking about. For a while, in some corporate environments, it was a recurring phenomenon to hear someone dismiss an urge to be cautious by saying "You're throwing out the baby with the bathwater."

So I can see where someone might count it toward buzzword bingo. But this post also offered an alternate solution when saying "baby+bathwater", so the bingo caller should refuse to score this one.
That's a good point, although lonely people are also easily cheated by real people who aren't relying on fakery.

Isn't that just too darn bad ~
For comparison, China’s vacant home problem is at least 5 times Japan’s.

China probably has so many vacant homes that even 1.4 billion people can’t fill, according to an estimate of a former deputy head of its National Bureau of Statistics last September [1].

If each vacant home is occupied by a household of 2.76 [2], there are about 510 million vacant homes in China. That’s 55 times Japan’s.

But China’s population is only about 11 times Japan’s. And vacant homes only multiply over time [3].

[1] https://www.reuters.com/world/china/even-chinas-14-bln-popul...

> How many vacant homes are there now? Each expert gives a very different number, with the most extreme believing the current number of vacant homes are enough for 3 billion people

> That estimate might be a bit much, but 1.4 billion people probably can't fill them

[2] https://www.statista.com/statistics/1087871/china-average-ho...

> The national average was 2.76 people per household in 2022.

I'm sure something like that was the rationalization when they pitched it, but we all know it's not why they really did it.
I believe NeXTStep used 64×64 icons from the beginning (1989), although they always included some margin.
Very nice implementation of a BCD creator. And in a language I can read, heh.

The only thing that's missing would be driver reflection. I always wanted to have a magic command to just reflect a driver from WinPE into an already-installed Windows, but that seemed to be handled directly by Windows Setup back when I looked at it.

I think you can do it with DISM nowadays though. So just make a trip through a WinPE on the way to starting for the first time and everything would probably work fine.

I would bet that FOG[1] probably handles all of this reliably already. Anyone wishing for a real devops-style workflow for Windows installation could also look at Glazier[2].

Although it mentions urban houses, most of them seem to be rural.

I can imagine this is significant because japanese cities are probably very pleasant to live in, since they are safe and people are very self controlled.

(cities in the US for instance, generally have city benefits, but on balance require street smarts and caution)
Applications are also up 10% for UPenn, which lowers their overall acceptance rate to under 5.5% if the number of admitted students is the same as last year.
1-3: Compared to all the European, Christian, and Capitalist schemes to control the world order - exhaustively documented, widely bragged about, and with loads of (now controversial) monumental architecture built to celebrate its centuries of successes - I'm getting a "let's accuse the Inuits of secretly controlling the Chinese Communist Party" vibe.

4: Historically, what passably-educated or -prosperous group has not lobbied for its own (perceived) interests? How many of the nut jobs (who you're worried about) would start ranting about "Satanic conspiracy" if they learned that the American Dairy Association was lobbying the US Government for regulations to require more cheese on cheese pizza?

5: Please re-read my original comment with the Danger Music turned off. Your interpretation is not quite "I've donated seven pints of blood, and thereby taken control of all of America's blood supply", but it's still quite a stretch.
>If you have a project with 500 individual contributors or even just 50, it is impossible for one person, even geniuses, to understand and comprehend the whole.

It is impossible to know every detail, but it is certainly possible to understand and comprehend it. The ability to zoom out and zoom in is essential for senior leadership (even if some people appear unfit based on this criteria). Of course it works only if your organization is… ehm… organized and doesn’t look like a bunch of unicorns of all sorts and colors, so that you can extrapolate the methods of work of one team to another.
Do you know what is on a criminal background report? It's exactly their criminal history. You claimed that courts do not store documents about cases in SQL databases (e.g. case number, defendant name, their plea, etc.) but that's wrong, they do.

Hey, nice work, how to get updates about the open source release ?
I had a great experience on Tinder and met my now fiancee... lots of fake accounts on there, but I found them super easy to spot. I only swiped right on women whose profiles I deeply resonated with- nerdy, introverted, and adventurous/outdoorsy women. Usually with simple non-glamorous profile photos doing real outdoor activities in our local region, in places I recognized in the photos and could have a fun conversation about with them. I'd chat a while to see if they were intelligent and interesting to talk to before inviting them on a date.

I don't think it's possible to fake being a deep, introspective, and intelligent person that is also adventurous/outdoorsy and people with those traits generally have no interest in being extortionists.

Basically my tip for online dating: screen online only for personality and character traits, and only later in person on a date for looks/chemistry/physical attractiveness. The former isn't something you can fake online, but the latter is.

Unrelated to my response here, but I feel the need to mention it given the context of this article: you have to be a real terrible person to be on a "cheating" dating site, and deserve whatever you get. In this day and age non-monogamy is pretty normal, just be honest with your partners if that is what you are into. It's not for me, but some people love it.
And you left a paper trail
Economists say that, but I'd be curious to hear from the "common person" in Japan what they thought about the lack of GDP growth.

Now almost certain it's not great for humanity in a long term view (less investments in the future etc) but I'm not sure it has to be worse for the present generation.
Have you looked into the EU Digital Identity [0]? Would this allow creating such a service?

It’s interesting that you chose to omit the more recent stats, as well as to notice that under the proposed change those people could still be in trouble for illegally possessing a controlled substance. But even then, it’s not just “2 guys” we’re talking about here. It’s 350 million people who are being illegally spied on and lied to. Dropping the charges against Assange and Snowden and apologizing to them would be a good first step on fixing all that.

I'm a highly experienced hands on Engineering manager, working at the director+ level. No longer coding in the day to day, but still keeping sharp with my own things.

I've spent more than 15 years in startups and scaleups, built high performance Engineering, Product, DevOps, AI/ML, QA, and Tech teams from scratch numerous times.

I'm very technical, but a people person, able to communicate clearly to technical and non technical stakeholders and execs alike.

Now in the UK, but spent years living and working in the US and various places around Europe. Spent a lot of time working in with Asian CEMs too.

Worked in a wide array of industries: Online Video, AdTech (for my sins), FoodTech, AI and ML across numerous sectors, FinTech. Currently in EdTech.

Seeking: Found product fit, on the road to profitable, team size 50+, engineering led. Looking for something that makes a difference to people's lives, so Health, Education, or Environmental sectors preferred. NO fintech, NO adtech, NO martech.

Thought I'd give it a shot outside of my network, see what others are up to!
