It would for many min-wage workers, sure. But if you don't have to worry about bills, you'd get bored and still find something to do. So this allows more people to start their own small business and work for themselves instead of some corporation that will just extract the excess of their labor. There would be a massive drop in the unemployment pool, which would cause many issues with larger businesses that rely on labor value extraction to operate. However, smaller businesses, especially in rural areas with a lot of farmers and/or ranchers, would likely do better since there would be less money leaving the town to pay for utilities (or trips to Walmart, since everyone now has more money to spend on things besides food/housing/bills and can afford to shop at smaller stores). This would also pad the pockets of Mom-n-Pop shops, which would keep prices down and allow more competition against big box stores, which in turn keeps more money local and improves the local economy.

If you don't have access to a bidet, just use the "dab of lotion on the TP" technique.

Wipe like normal. Then put a bit of lotion on new folded TP and wipe. Repeat a few times until the TP is completely clean. It's not at the level of bidet, but it gets you pretty squeaky clean (try it).

Best is to use thicker lotion with enough "slipperyness", like true cocoa butter, etc. Cheaper lotions generally don't work as well. Keep a small tube of the lotion in your backpack if you need it when you're out and about.

(Fun fact: I submitted this technique as part of my YC application years ago and PG mentioned it to me when I ran into him at Stanford)

Imagine a vertical cross-section of a person sitting on the toilet seat. The rear end is not only obstructing the flow of water out of the toilet, but it extends below the lip of the seat vertically so any extra water falls downwards into the toilet. The only time water escapes is if you absentmindedly stand up without turning off the bidet[0].

As it turns out, the water is quite effective at removing the dirt. At first I was worried it would disperse it and I'd be wiping a larger region, but in fact it's easy to quickly confirm with the white toilet paper that virtually zero waste is left remaining after only a few seconds of running the bidet.

[0] This depends on the model, some Europeon models I have encountered are configured as a completely separate "bowl" and they spray aerated water with such low force that the water would never leave the bowl, whether a body is present or not.

I strongly suspect the title could be translated into numerous languages verbatim, without losing the unintended interpretation. It is so for a few languages I know.

You can try it with translation tools.

The problem is semantic: in any language whatsoever (I suspect) if we express the idea that X is a replacement for Y, and in the same sentence mention some attributes of X, it means that those attributes are relevant to qualifying X as a replacement, which implies that those attributes are lacking or inadequately present in Y.

Without heaps of prior context, it is an impossible interpretation that the X attributes are not actually lacking in Y, but in a previously attempted replacement Z.

Not that familiar with c++ but used to have this thought about both Java and C#. Think I’ve changed my stance on it now though.

If following something like CQS the bifurcation can be thought of allowing “pure” functions and excluding code with a temporal / side-effecting component from higher order code.

Not saying bifurcating on void is the best approach to handle that, but in languages where side effects are a thing something is needed to make sure higher order code and side effecting code mix properly.

Meanwhile in the UK we've got 139 tons of the stuff from the Magnox program. It was disappointing to see in the Civil Nuclear roadmap to 2050 (from earlier this year) decided against making use of this tremendous resource (although the precise wording does not rule out use in MOX which is presumably an existing and so not an "Advanced Technology").

We are providing clarity to vendors by committing not to support the use of plutonium stored at Sellafield by Advanced Nuclear Technologies whilst high hazard reduction activities are prioritised at Sellafield.

A lot of the interesting jobs have gone hybrid. Unfortunately a lot of "hybrid" implementations prescribe a number of days per week instead of a just "get your shit done, here's the office if you'd like to use it, we expect you to do whatever makes you most efficient".

I'm in a long-distance relationship and I hate this situation. Like, I'm even OK with alternating 5 days per week for 2 weeks and then 0 days per week for 2 weeks. But some companies are hellbent on 3 days per week and it's a top-down HR level thing that even managers can't control.

The name orchid comes from Greek, from orchis (testicles). Each plant has two bulbs, hence the name, and it was considered in ancient times a strong aphrodisiac.

I own the hand-held variant (IIRC the https://snapklik.com/en-ca/product/sontiy-brass-handheld-bid...). Think of it as a (very) specialized hand-held shower that's connected to (and easily within reach of someone sitting on) my toilet. Close friends of mine have a washlet integrated system that I've used before.

I backed a Boaty kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/boaty/the-boaty-kit-a-n...) a few years ago; though those close friends of mine use regular (though _clearly_ marked) washcloths.

I also happen to be a guy, so what I'm about to say applies only to my #2 process -- so no direct experience with ladies' #1 or any concern about cross-contamination by water running to the frontal anatomy (though my research back then mentioned that shouldn't be a bigger concern than without these items).

1. Within a few attempts you get very good at aiming (blind) and keeping only the inside of your bum cheeks wet. With the handheld want it's "all in the wrist", with the integrated system you get to do a silly little hip dance for 5 seconds and move on your with life.

2. It immediately joins and is flushed with the rest of your deposit. I do dry my cheeks with the boaty towels, and find it particularly pleasant and clean, at least comparatively to the previous decades of my life. So "with the spraying water?" yes, overwhelmingly, and "into the laundry machine?" trace amounts for sure, but emphasis on trace amounts.

Hope this helps, I'm also a _fanatical convert_ of this new process.

In addition to your caffeine, you get a “healthy” dose of synthetic sugar (aka Sucralose) [1] and other crap added by the drink company to market it as “healthy”

Personally, I can’t stand those drinks. Every “0 calorie, 0 sugar” drink is nearly identical in ingredients. Some use different forms of synthetic sugar. The taste is off putting.

Sure, there _might_ not be a glycemic spike but at what cost that has not been studied?

- what’s the impact to other human physiology? (Increased cancer risk?)

I’ll take my risk with real sugar and just limit the consumption to very sparingly.

1. You spray water up the butt… how does one prevent everything, including underwear, from getting wet?

You are seated... your underwear is around your ankles. You aren't standing straight up after.

2. What takes the dirt away eventually? A clean towel? The force of the water? Where is it taken? With the spraying water? Into the laundry machine?

The force of the water removes it. It falls down into the toilet. It's literally just like an upward-facing hose - it sprays water. You maneuver your butt over the stream. It cleans in the same way a shower sprays water, or a hose sprays water, to wash away material. You then can either use a little toilet paper to dry yourself, or use the air dryer that comes on a fancier bidet.

I’m a happy user of Jellyfin, and I’d like to amplify what others have said about $24,000 or 40 months’ expenses being not nearly enough. At a conservative safe withdrawal rate, $24,000 of capital is only $60/month — in other words, a tenth of what the project needs to cover its monthly expenses.

If the project wants to be self-sufficient, they thus need ten times as much money. Then they can invest it, and cover expenses with the income from their investments.

If the project doesn’t want to be self-sufficient, that’s something else. Maybe they would prefer to think it will better align incentives for their users to keep them hungry? Personally, though, I think that self-sufficiency should be everyone’s goal.

Humans had natural information barriers. A foreign power invading a secret library would need significant time and resources to process its contents, often missing crucial details. This created an asymmetry in knowledge and data processing capabilities.

Today, AI can analyze extreme amounts of data, eliminating this asymmetry and creating a gap with our own capability. How can we maintain some level of 'information obscurity' or processing advantage against the AI? Are there any methods that remain challenging for AI to interpret but are accessible to humans?

A Formulation of the Trilemma in Proof of Work Blockchain
1. In markdown you can specify a language to perform syntax highlighting within code blocks -- e.g. ```java ... ```. If you use "mermaid" there you can get the mermaid plugin to render that block. This is useful when providing a system overview, etc. in a project readme file.

2. Mermaid is a diagram rendering tool similar to graphviz and D3.js. It uses a different syntax for each chart type with the intention of making it easy to write and to read when looking at markdown source.

3. You would need to use a separate program like graphviz to do the layout and generate an SVG, PNG or other file that you can reference in your markdown or other document files. If/when mermaid provides a similar capability you'll be able to use that instead.

cppreference.com uses the term functor in numerous places for recent C++ features including things in C++26 such as reflection:

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/experimental/reflect

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/variant/visit2

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/experimental/parallelism

Visual Studio's official documentation uses the term functor as of 2021:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/standard-library/funct...

A simple Google search shows no shortage of recent websites and documents including fairly authoritative references using the term functor to describe a type that overloads operator ().

Heck even the author of this article, Raymond Chen, uses the term functor as recently as 2020 to describe such a construct:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20200513-00/?p=10...

Is Raymond Chen not a C++ expert?
Thanks for your reply. For background, I'm doing technical/historical research. I have 100 documents on a topic (mostly PDFs, also some scans) and I want to keep track of them, pull ideas out of them, and write a coherent article. Cut-and-paste isn't enough at this point. Zotero is the perfect solution for me to keep source documents organized and I would pay money to keep using it. Researchers who use Obsidian mostly use Zotero too (it seems) since Obsidian doesn't handle citation management, tracking documents, downloading, OCR, PDF annotation, and other important tasks.

For your second point, sure, I can write tons of code. That's why I'm cautious with Obsidian; I don't want to get distracted by writing templates and JavaScript customization rather than useful work.

By the way, the basic Obsidian process I'm using is "Notetaking for historians", which is described at https://publish.obsidian.md/history-notes/01+Notetaking+for+...
This process is very similar to the process described in the topic article.
