I think this is an area that highlights one of the huge differences between Europe and the US that isn't obvious at first to most Europeans. Outside of commercial messaging that you may see in TV show, or Country Music vehicle, it's not that common for people who have a truck to use it as a status symbol any differently than they would with a car.

In practice, a lot of working age Men own a light duty pickup (f-150, Silverado 1500 or smaller types like the Ranger or Colorado) when you get outside of the Cities for the utility. It's basically needed if you live in the country and want to be self-sufficient. While you may see these on a farm, more than likely a farmer would need something more heavy duty to pull anything serious.

People with Boats can usually get away with hauling it with a light duty truck, whereas people with RV's usually will have something more heavy duty.

They are far from status symbols, and often people will have old trucks (beaters) that are paid off and will use when it's practical.

How does that work? That code works partly at deploy time, to register the serverless app with SQS/..., and then it runs partly in the serverless invocation?
That's so interesting, well done!
We use it for simple use-cases and experimentation, especially because it works so well with various data formats and polars. Personally, I prefer to maintain proper SQL queries against duckdb including re-usable views, and then use polars for the remaining fiddling/exploration.

In combination with sqlalchemy, it is trivial to lift an app to other OLAP systems.

Every Musk thread smacks of desperation since the histrionics on here the day he took over and fired all those indispensables.

The main brands I would see would be Glenair, Souriau, and ITT Canon. Once you are paying the the space quality hardware, its all much of a muchness really. Glenair would probably be top dogs in this space.

I have used other manufactures with their own propriety connectors, like Harwin, which are a bit awkward.

The various styles of connectors do matter a bit. Micro-DSUB and Nano-DSUB are a bit of a pain, as you generally get the connector with flying leads, so have to inline (butt) splice.

38999 Circular connectors are great to work with the hardware, but order the right parts is a nightmare as they all have phone number part names.
I love "the fine print" section. This is so great. Congrats on all your hard work
Isn't this just the codification of the long standing status quo? X has allowed nudity for as long as I've been a user.
While this is oft repeated, it’s not very relevant. First of all, some weight is kept off, which is a huge win. Secondly, the drug can be taken again. Thirdly, it will be a second chance for millions at a heather lifestyle. Once you get so fat, it becomes a doom spiral of low physical activity and low body image. Personal willpower and choice can have a huge impact but its very hard to start exercising when you can barely walk down the street.
Well that's kinda tough now. A lot of companies still do their own comms on Twitter.

For the same reason we have spotify blocked at work, but not youtube because we publish our comms there. Which results in... people listening to music videos and wasting a ton of bandwidth for no reason (because they're downloading the video just for the music). A bit stupid but the powers that be are unwilling to unblock spotify.
I lived in a dry county at one point in my life, and seemingly the biggest churches around there did a lot of campaigning against removing the existing laws. Eventually the voters voted in liquor sales, but one of the most telling things to come out of all of it was the liquor store owners on the county lines were some of the biggest donors to the large churches in that area.

I wonder how many of these large property owners engage in such rent seeking behavior too.

> A true straight line from the starting point would take us off into space.

How do you know? "Straight" relative to what? The expanding universe? Would continuous adjustments need to be made to account for the displacement due to that expansion? Does this then assume some 'outer' universe / reference container?
>“Code” in that sense predates pretty much any form of computer or technical writing.

That's still cognate with the concept of computer code.
Speak for yourself. It doesn't bother me, and I'm someone.
C++ also has stop_token, so although they're not natively interruptable a mechanism for implementing it exists in the standard.
Twitter has always had NSFW content and adult content warnings as the article mentions. This change just clarifies the rules
Thats quite a leap. You're going from:

"The best science we have available during this medical emergency suggests that increasing distance reduces transmission for similar diseases, so we are going to recommend people maintain a 6-foot distance."

to

"unmitigated police power [...] authoritarian and despotic."

The 6-foot "rule" was only a recommendation, not a law. You were entirely free to ignore that recommendation. Not sure where the police are coming in to this?
I see you do woodworking as well, ever tried to make cases for electronics from (ply)wood?
My mind goes to the mock-Marxist quote about such things - "From each according to his ability to pay, to each according to his greed."
This is rather misleading: as the article explains, porn was always permitted on Twitter—it was never prohibited by Twitter's ToS. Actually, I'm rather confused what the substance of this story is. Is it just a finer sub-classification of the NSFW label system?

I tried to self-host recently and there was a lot of brokenness, and they discontinued the helm chart. They clearly don't want you to actually self host anymore and it's a shame. I have security requirements and can't yet afford their security-approved cloud product.

I think the weight regain is within the first year or something, so presumably if you follow them for longer the percent weight regained goes up.
i’m not sure whether there’s any physiological basis for this, but subjectively having an addiction feels a lot like having an additional need in the same vein as hunger and thirst. The addict’s mind is convinced it does “need” the substance.
If you have a fish scale, you can see what the retention force is fairly easy. Thats the primary method we use for calibration, albeit with a specific testing hardware.
Well the argument is that modern society and food is very different from what our bodies evolved for, so the messing has already happened.
1. Opportunity cost is a thing. Even if a vacant unit doesn't cost you anything, you're still leaving money on the table by not renting it out.

2. the propublica article claims that realpage increases overall revenue by renting out less units.
Is not pedantry the aim of this article?
This really depends how you calculate cost to society. Everyone dies, and the healthiest people die the slowest. So when you look at the cost of the alternatives the difference looks much smaller or non-existant. If the alternative of getting a heart attack at 57 is retiring at 67, collecting social security for 20 years, getting Alzheimers at 73 and spending 10 years in a Medicare funded memory care facility, obesity and alcoholism don't look as expensive.
Just noting I didn't prescribe anything or state my personal preference anywhere.

It was merely an observation after working remotely for about as long as I've worked in person and I don't really appreciate you adding words like "loudest monkey" and "dinosaurs" to my statement.
I'm not on Ozempic, but I am on plenty of medications that I'll be taking for the rest of my life.
> the cost to society from alcoholism and obesity

To put that into perspective, annual cost of diabetes to America is $1,200 per capita ($1,300 adjusted for inflation [2]. 40% more than a month of Ozempic [3].

One twelfth of Americans have diabetes [4]. If the government could negotiate just a 10% bulk discount, the payback period on buying every American with diabetes Ozempic would be around a year. Even if everyone ceased treatment after that, even if you only did this for a couple years, we'd see a permanent boost in productivity and health across the American population.

I think they're parallel concerns and everyone has their own priorities. Openness of the models and their training is important but for most people, it wouldn't really matter anyway because they can't afford the computing power to do their own training.

I care about all that in the abstract but what I can download and use on my computer is more concrete and immediate.
Are there sample images from the camera on the product website? This is a neat idea but it would be nice to gauge to what extent it is fit for purpose, and a helpful way to do this is with a bunch of sample images.

Sounds reasonable enough.
<-> Ten foot component video cables are not uncommon but sometimes a gang of five might be as much as three dollars, if they haven't been there long enough for the tag color to cycle.

But yes, most of my runs are shorter than that. I really only need long RCA's for running audio from instruments and outboard on one side of my desk to the mixer at the other. The short runs aren't long enough to have significant capacitance, resistance, or experience inductive noise beyond what my projects require. They are a reasonable engineering decision.

<-> Ordinary RCA cables are more supple and more compact than 1/4" or XLR. If I was making my own long run cables from scratch, I'd use CAT5/6/7 anywhere I could. The stiffness and bulk of coax wouldn't match most of my use. Though that's my use not yours.

<-> I was using gold-plated-HDMI as an obvious example of the audiophile market segment.

<-> My experience has been ordinary RCA cables are more reliable than ordinary 1/4 for general patching because the strain relief tends to be better proportioned to the weight of the cable. And there's good availability of adapters to other common unshielded plug form factors. Again, at least for my use.
Behavior modification has been failing for decades. It had its shot.

Skinny foreigners move here and gain weight. That’s a pretty strong indication that individual willpower doesn’t have much to do with why skinny countries are skinny. Why would we expect that to work here?

Our options that have any hope of actually working are a huge overhaul of probably a lot of things, including our food culture, zoning and city layouts, farm policy, and social safety net, to name a few—or, a miracle drug.

Realistically, if we want results this century, that leaves only the latter option.
Why? What is the evidence base?

You sound like the people who say that trans people should try psychological interventions (conversion therapy) before medically transitioning (which is also a lifelong medical commitment in many cases). Psychological interventions don't work, while medical transition does. It's the same here. Ozempic works while telling people to eat less does not.

Yes, a world we've lived in for the past 100+ years.
Which can be corrected via property taxes that increase at increasing rates for the time period that any given property remains unused, including non residential rentals.

Landowners get the biggest subsidy of all in the US, where they pay proportionally very little to the local government’s operational costs, and benefit the most from the law and order, judiciously systems, and education of the local populace.

And instead of going after landowners for reaping the rewards of sitting on unproductive uses of land that everyone has to spend extra time and energy to travel around, the government even gives them tax breaks (1031 exchange, property tax caps), and instead goes after people who actually perform work (income tax).

So man cooomers ITT it's just sad.
I've been on Zepbound for 5 weeks now and it's basically a miracle drug as far as I'm concerned. Food still tastes good, but the urge is gone. It's like going from being a sex addict to someone with very low sex drive.

It's not just the lack of hunger, but I don't get hangry, which was an even bigger problem than resisting the food. I'd get legitimately obsessive about the stupidest little things, to where I'd jeopardize my job and every relationship in my life if I kept going that way.

I knew things were different when I ate two pieces of pizza and then the box sat there in front of me for hours w/o me even thinking about it. Normally as soon as I knew everyone else had their fill, I would have finished the two pieces left in the box. If I tried to resist, the pizza would be calling me from inside the box every 5 seconds. It would be like a crack addict sitting there looking at a loaded crack pipe for 2 hours and not taking a hit.

Another moment was when I got the "I'm full, I don't want to finish this" message from my stomach while eating a small cakepop. I've gotten that feeling before from eating too much meat, like at a Brazilian steakhouse, but never from anything sweet and carby. Just knowing this is how some people live has been a huge eye-opener for me. I totally get the whole ectomorph/endomorph thing now.

So far I've lost 10 lbs. I make sure to get plenty of protein and have to force myself to eat sometimes. I try to eat more early in the week when I do my hardest workouts. I'm still lifting the same amount. I haven't gone up, but I haven't gone down, which is great.

I workout 4x a week and also walk/hike 20-30 miles/week. I'm 6'1, 240 lbs, large frame. I've been on a diet basically my whole adult life, except for when I start a new job, in which I always gain weight because I don't want to be hangry and I put the job first. Then I spend the rest of the tenure at that job trying to lose it.

For years, I've had zero unhealthy food in the house, and my biggest cheat has been an occasional breakfast burrito, or a medium sandwich and some ice cream after a long walk. That's been enough to not gain weight, but not enough to lose any more than 5-10 lbs, which I gain back over the holidays every year.

Anyway that's just my story. I suspect I'm a pretty big outlier in the amount of exercise I get and the habits I already had. I have enough in my HSA to afford about a year. I'm hoping to lose a bunch, snap back the usual 10 lbs or so, then stabilize.
