I've worked in food service in just about every position but sous chef. I understand the regulations and pathogenic dangers.

I've also worked on organic neighborhood farm, where people would come to our location, grab vegetables with their hands and place them into their own cloth bags. We used plastic for items that went on store shelves, but everything else we tried to avoid them. We delivered vegetables to restaurants in cardboard boxes (which probably had thin plastic linings on them).

Steps can be taken to massively reduce waste in food service; the problem is no one wants to change their lifestyle. They'd rather get takeout 3-10 times a week than visit a local organic farm or start/find a cooking co-op.

> Chances are that you or your surviving family members WILL successfully sue Walmart after you've gotten getting E. coli from deli section

I don't eat meat and my only real risk of E. coli is from storebought greens. It's a non-zero risk, and I would prefer to get my greens from a farm, but they are hard to find in my state. Our own organic farm was the constant target of police and DEA raids, as they were convinced we were drug-producing hippies. The state DEA agent spit on the driveway once and bragged about how confiscating and selling the farm would pay his salary for years. So there is a real challenge here, it's not just on us. It's also on our government officials.

Besides, we can make hemp plastics, biodegradable plastics, etc. But there's no money in that as long as cheap single-use plastic is pervasive in the industry. What I can say with certainty is our current way of doing things is irresponsibly unsustainable, and we are failing in our duties to consider posterity. I'm watching my generation turn into an even more entitled bunch than the baby boomers when it comes to convenience at the sake of posterity.

I felt much the same way. I wish I had more creative energy at the weekend for these kinds of things... But then I remember that I actually have a much more creative job than most people and my creative energies are spent from 9-6 Monday to Friday (I work in movies). I've found MUCH more peace and pleasure in my "consumption hobbies" like watching tv, reading, playing linear story games that don't require me to be particularly creative and learned to stop being so hard myself for not having a hobby where I'm actively producing something like writing a book or making a game. Weirdly when I have a quiet period at work and am not so creative for 2-3 months I get the urge to pick up creative hobbies again. I've come to realise for myself that I have a measureable amount of bandwidth to create and a measureable amount of bandwidth to consume and they seem to be seesaw'd together.

It might be that the surface is much brighter in visible light than the corona rather than the corona emits no visible light (as anyone who witnessed the recent total solar eclipse can attest). Since the corona is made up of rarefied high energy particles I would expect it to emit less total, but more short wavelength light.

> Their explanation for why Go performs badly didn't make any sense to me.

To me, the whole paper is full of misunderstanding, at least the analysis. There's just speculation based on caricatures of the language, like "node is async", "c++ is low level" etc. The fact that their C++ impl using uWebSocket was significantly slower than then Node, which used uWebSocket bindings, should have led them to question the test setup (they probably used threads which defeats the purpose of uWebSocket.

Anyway.. The "connection time" is just HTTP handshake. It could be included as a side note. What's important in WS deployments are:

- Unique message throughput (the only thing measured afaik).

- Broadcast/"multicast" throughput, i.e. say you have 1k subscribers you wanna send the same message.

- Idle memory usage (for say chat apps that have low traffic - how many peers can a node maintain)

To me, the champion is uWebSocket. That's the entire reason why "Node" wins - those language bindings were written by the same genius who wrote that lib. Note that uWebSocket doesn't have TLS support, so whatever reverse proxy you put in front is gonna dominate usage because all of them have higher overheads, even nginx.

Interesting to note is that uWebSocket perf (especially memory footprint) can't be achieved even in Go, because of the goroutine overhead (there's no way in Go to read/write from multiple sockets from a single goroutine, so you have to spend 2 gorountines for realtime r/w). It could probably be achieved with Tokio though.

I was exactly in the same boat and I started feeling burnout symptoms and so I quit my job last month for an extended leave so I can rest while also doing some hobby projects that I neglected over the years. Easily best decision I made in years. Of course I am aware not everyone has the privilege of being able to just quit working, but fortunately I had enough savings plus I made sure my expenses are quite low so I can afford it.

I'm curious about the logic there.

Hexagonal Architecture (Alistair Cockburn) [video]
Great to hear Alistair speaking about hexagonal architecture!

Since long, I love Alistair's books which are extraordinary insightful. As an example, [1] has drastically changed my way of writing specs and even thinking about user-software interactions.

Now, it's good to discover that Alistair is also a great speaker highlighting the key points that will help to understand his point.

See how you're just escalating the discussion? Your claim was that Russia is losing because the territorial conquest progress is "slow".

Now you're claiming that Russia is losing because they will exhaust their resources before Ukraine. Even this argument is weak, as proven by Ukraine's invasion of Kursk.

Back in the earlier days of AI, not that early, but the late 80's I was the lead developer for an AI research program being jointly conducted by 3 business professors from MIT, Harvard, and Boston University. We were working on "frame based knowledge representation" - frame of reference based node links between nodes containing something: a number, a word, a sentence, or a "function that combines linked nodes into a new frame of reference".

Long story short, we thought we were making a new type of N-dimensional spreadsheet, but after 3 semesters of work one of the advisors at MIT told us we need to meet his colleague, and that guy informed us we had a working compiler for a hybrid of Lisp and C.
>If their feathers are ruffled by inflation they're definitely not going to take kindly

In a election context, yes, but beyond some grumbling on the internet, probably nothing substantial. And in even then, alot of it is just psychological. Look in Turkey, in Russia or Argentina, inflation was at ludicrous levels yet things still remain relatively stable. There is a reason why economists fear unemployment much more than inflation, people are too busy working jobs to riot all day.

>we chose this destiny. It was American business that sold us all out, and capitalism manufactured the consent.

Hey, the global poor do deserve a ladder up, if America had held onto it's manufacturing at the time we would be keeping the rest of the third world in eternal stagnation. Better to have rich neighbours than poor neighbours, the problem is that neoliberals didn't anticipate the degree of ultranationalism that emerged as a result of those countries climbing up.

It's led to a contradictory state of affairs where the primary beneficiaries of the system seek to undermine it to establish their own poles of economic dominance, (ironically) kicking down the ladder for those yet to come.

>Seeking retribution for your own fuckup is senseless vengeance.

There's a saying about how Adults can't "make" mistakes, that once they'd said or committed to something they can't turn back. Maybe you believe that rigid sense of retributive self-satisfaction is worth the cost of vulnerability, but then you probably don't know the meaning of fear. Until it comes, and then it's too late.
The Intercept's Lawsuit Against OpenAI Moves Forward
Mom, I made a SaaS in 32 hours
There’s so much hype about building SaaS in “1 hour” with CursorAI, GPT, Cloud, you name it.
I decided to try something more "realistic": building a SaaS in 2 days. I grabbed my favorite tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, and a simple stack: NestJS + MongoDB + NuxtJS, and started my weekend challenge.

Spoiler: 16 hours wasn't enough. So, I extended it to 32 hours—and finally finished in 33 hours. Did I beat the challenge? Feels like a win to me.

I built UniqMail, a simple tool for sending personalized cold emails with AI. It’s straightforward—create a project, upload your data, and let AI handle the personalization. Plus you can connect your provider for sending emails directly. And yes I implemented credentials encryption so your data is safe :-)

No hype, no over-engineering. Just a clean, efficient tool that gets the job done.

It’s live now, perfect for anyone in sales, HR, or marketing who sends a lot of emails.

Curious to try? Feedback is more than welcome!

> The juniors only get to run the show and introduce exotic, non-boring technology (asynchronicity, event-sourcing, eventual consistency, CQRS etc.) after the seniors have admitted defeat.

lol. This is definitely not my experience. Most problems are pretty boring and can be solved with a judicious use of boring tech. It isn't until you get to a sufficiently large scale where you need to introduce these techniques. And only if they actually further the goal.

Many times the existing system is doing something in a really dumb way because the original authors were organically growing as they explored the problem domain and that puts the system into a box of thinking, similar to your LLM spitting out trash because the context got polluted, or simply inertia. So the exotic tech is introduced to solve a symptom to the underlying issue without the crucial step of reconsidering the box the system sits in. The requirements at scale are now fundamentally different and therefore the solution should be reconsidered.

If the seniors involved completely miss this step then I question the breadth of their experience because this is common when crossing a scale threshold. Being old or having worked at the same company for 10 years doesn't automatically mean someone is truly skilled and could actually mean their experience is extremely limited.
Sure, and they even go on to say that the article is about “what helps to explain the differences in outcome between two genetically identical people.” However it’s clear that is not actually what the article is about and they do talk about traits that are highly heritable and not shown to be dependent on environment and life experience.
> What's worse, unlike JavaScript which only has two colors (async and non-async), Java has an infinite number colors!

Your comment is great, but I need to point out that the above sentence is misrepresenting Java. You can call any function from a Java function. The fact that you may need to handle an Exception when calling some doesn't make it a "colored" function because you can easily handle the Exception and forget about the color, and if you remember the color problem, it was problematic that colors are infectious, i.e. you just can't get rid of the color, which is not the case in Java. Some claim that's actually bad because it prevents things like structured concurrency (because Java can start a Thread anywhere and there's no way for you to know that a function won't... if there was a "color", or better said, effect, for starting a Thread, you could guarantee that no Thread would be started by a function lacking that effect).

Corona is very hot (millions of degrees) as opposed to 6000 of the Sun's surface, therefore it has higher contrast over Sun's surface if you go to shorter wavelengths. The reason corona is still visible from Earth is because it you mask the main solar disk (during the eclipse).

After water & tea, coffee: creatine.

From muscle to brain cells, high creatine availability makes it easier for cells to access energy to move and think.

I have a big jar with a mix of the following macro and esoteric powders, and have a scoop morning & night:

Creatine, Fiber, Protein, Minerals, Greens (dozens of veggies), Reds (veggies & fruits), Probiotics, Mushrooms

Another jar for nuts, for throwing in yoghurt, cereal, or just eat a small handful a day:

Walnuts (Nut), Pistachios (Nut), Pecans (Nut), Almonds (Nut), Peanuts (Legume), Pumpkin seeds (Large seed)

And another jar for seeds, for salads, yoghurt, etc. I find something to throw them in every day:

Sunflower Kernels, Hemp Hearts, Chia Seeds, Flax Seed Meal, White Sesame Seeds

Finally, the daily fruit:

Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries for snacks & throwing in other things.

That’s my everyday stuff.

Then I keep a standard set of “superfoods” to eat s la carte or as versatile ingredients:

Hummus: great cheese, butter, mayo replacement

Mixed spinach & baby greens

Shredded chicken

Eggs

Salsa, for salads, on chicken. Etc.

Avocados

Various sprouts

Salmon lox

Prawns

Mix of fresh veggies, for eating raw, and mixed for stir fry

Canned veggies, like tomatos, spinach

Jars of pickles, pickled veggie mix, pickled asparagus, pickled green beans

Jars of fermented veggies, like sour krout, kimchi, etc.

Cans of all kinds of different beans, like black & kidney beans, chickpeas

Canned sardines, salmon, chicken, tuna

High fiber & protein, low carb: bread, tortillas and breakfast cereals

Greek yoghurt

Low fat cottage cheese

Olives, olive oil, avocado oil

Veggie milk. I like zero sugar added Ripple. Healthier than cow milk and creamier too.

Then I eat whatever I want, whenever I want. It is a “no motivation required” system.

Having all those diverse nutrient dense foods around all the time makes them super convenient, and I keep finding new ways to use them.

Then I will binge on (Nick’s) ice cream, chocolate, anything whenever I feel like it. At least for me, getting crazy good nutrition every day crowds out the frequency & quantity of less healthy food. So I save my motivation for other things, and eat whatever when I feel like it.

It has been a year since I started this system, and I feel so much better. Still tuning.

My daily calories dropped and I have been slowly losing weight, basically in lock step with however much light or moderate exercise I do.

Feel free to suggest anything else!

Also performing better physically and mentally, sleeping better and recovering/advancing more from exercise.

I feel seriously upgraded!

That’s one dimension of how I maximize my productivity.
