I have kids and I agree to an extent, but also believe the inverse as well.

I can see that my life has led to me maturing sufficiently to care for kids. I have the experiences, self awareness, instinctual impetus, and so on required in order to keep my kids alive (so far).

And yet I have arguments with my wife that make no sense. We disagree about things, and although we like to believe we're relatively competent, reasonable, well-meaning people, we are sometimes the opposite. We're not as much unlike our kids as social norms want to imply we should be. We grow through these things as well, it gets better, we learn some lessons, but these mishaps continue to occur. We forget to start dinner early enough, the kids get to sleep a bit late. I forget to charge my watch, miss its alarm, and wake late so the morning is rushed. All these little mistakes, and all you'd generally expect from a child (and possibly even reprimand them for).

At times my status as "mature adult" seems tenuous. I might tell my kids not to eat to many Christmas treats, then find myself eating several as I do the dishes. Whoops? I have to be careful that I don't convince myself I'm all that different from them, frankly. Yeah I've managed to keep things going so far (with the help of my wife), but some days it is a bit of a marvel that it all works. Not to be too self-deprecating, and I am joking slightly.

I'm also increasingly aware that the state of being anything at all—what it's like to be me—is eerily similar to how it felt decades ago. I have more resources to draw upon, which is very useful, but the mode of being hasn't shifted much in longer than I can remember (literally). I can only imagine that my kids are the same. The way they exist, how they feel moment to moment, the way they perceive the world, is not at all unlike it was for me and still is today.

I'm also constantly impressed with how intelligent my kids are, from early on. It isn't that they're super kids or anything. Given the right opportunities and resources though, kids are smart. They get stuff. They're constantly crunching through information and synthesizing things and making sense of the world. They're incapable of some decision-making and reasoning, without a doubt, but they deserve a lot of credit.

Perhaps the bottom line is: don't take being an adult too seriously. We aren't entirely different from our kids. We are still the kids we were, too. Just hardened by a bit of experience, shaped by countless mistakes, and well-rehearsed in making stuff up as we go.

If the kids are happy and healthy, all is well.
I think that this recent post makes a nice accompaniment to TFA: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42279172
I don't disagree about the service itself having relatively few calories (I'd argue it's far more then 5, but that's a minor point). The reality is that you need a ton of other things to have it running properly - from a properly created and maintained AWS account, to proper IAM roles with correct permissions, to correct deployment/modification setup and other resources as a database rarely exists in a vacuum. And because Amazon decided not to implement spending cap, if you don't have the right competences, you are at risk losing money - and this is especially true for serverless services. I still remember the folks who set the same bucket for lambda notifications look with panic as their bill increases dramatically as they watch it growing, not knowing how to stop the whole process.[0]

Well, at least a couple of years ago, one surprising thing I discovered with rustup was that unlike distros that have a clean install/uninstall, rustup was rm -rf * ing everything in the place it was installed. There was an open bug on it and multiple complaints. I, who needed it for various system builds, had innocently rustup'd to /usr/local. On uninstall, it wiped all of /usr/local. I had backups on that machine, but it was still an unpleasant experience and I did lose a few not-too-important scripts.

I don't know if others have run into the same thing, but it's why I'd trust Gentoo's packaging more.
We can't live on mars without living inside massive radiation shielding probably underground. There won't be enough industry this century for Mars to be self sustaining if we start tomorrow.

For the non-scientist living on mars would be living in a cave worse than that enjoyed by most poor people in absolute boredom 99.5% of the time.

Your martian adventure will cost an appreciable portion of a billion dollars, include a return ticket, and continual support from home. It will be a very high cost ammortized over few units and it will never be self funding.
Maybe you need creativity but I just need information and presentation isn't nearly as important as legibility.
The point is to talk to your potential market/customers before you build it. You can do many things though even if you have 0 audience today:

- Setup a Landing Page and collect Emails on a waitlist

- Blog Posts on relevant keywords/topics. Do 2-3 a month at the least. quality over quantity.

- Do Outbound sales. Find your potential customers using tools like Apollo, Linkedin etc. No easy way here. You have to grind a bit. Make a list. Reach out to them. Try to start a conversation

- Look on Reddit/sub-reddits in your area of interest. See if you can find potential customers there. One way is to reply to related topics and build authority. Takes time.

- Show some MVP/screenshots/mockups of the product to your potential audience on social media etc. Post it everywhere. Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook at the minimum. If B2C, may be even do Insta and TikTok

- Use Youtube as a channel. Create content in your niche.

All of these are hard to do and there is no magic wand for them. But you have to do these to have a chance especially in today's crowded market where every problem has 100s of solutions already in some form. Even harder challenge is that you won't have anyone to help in the beginning except may be a cofounder if you have one. Everything has to be done by you/cofounders.
The way various hormones influence the brain alone makes it pretty clear to me already that you'd be a completely different person when taken out of your body, and I'm pretty sure that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I used to think that, but I think this is only true if you want to measure broad market appeal. Very few things are broadly marketable, and many of them have niches. "Middlebrow academics" are the ones who go to the poetry shelf of their local bookstore and pick up anthologies and they are the ones who go to poetry slams, and so on.
> "I'm going to influence others not to work with you because of X"

What X is, is material though. So as much as we want to be able to simplify and not get lost in the weeds of interpersonal drama, we can't just say any behavior in that vague direction is toxic. If X is "he is a bad person and is going to make false claims and lie and cheat and steal from you, has repeatedly done this, and there is legally admissible evidence of this", that's a totally different thing from X is "he looked at me funny and, I dunno, I just feel a bad energy coming from him" amplified by the social media megaphone.
> The only announcement I want from AWS about databases is that the price for RDS is going down.

If the price hasn't been going up in line with inflation then it's been going down in real terms. Not as nice as the number going down, too, but it's not nothing. Over time AWS prices have significantly declined in real terms simply by not having been raised in nominal value.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I think you've addressed to some degree what I was trying to think around. That art may be difficult to evaluate in its time. Monet may have been a counter culture artist in his time but today he has a somewhat universal appeal. Is that cultural? Are we now primed to like Monet because people have told us to like Monet?

No doubt in his time there were factions, those who pandered to the institution and those who fawned over innovation and originality. I'm sure these cycles occur in every present.

So then what will be remembered from our time? As you say a lot of today's art is esoteric and holding a conversation not all of us are privy to.

I also agree that to some extent we do now have the most art we ever could have. The internet and the creator economy has unlocked creativity in many ways. I recall some discussion the other day about the "hollowing out of the middle" in musical instrument proficiency, and more widely a lot of other skills. Technology and convenience has eradicated a need for many skills at a "mediocre" level but we also have more access to information and learning than ever before.
Animal oil lead to slightly worse outcomes than vegetable oils, but honestly this is pretty minor, and some people need to chill about that.

But claiming the opposite is quite counterfactual, and warrants scrutiny.

A more interesting point about oil is their burning point. It is better to use animal based oil that won't burn than a vegetable oil that will. Another thing to know is that you can mix a tasty oil with low burning point (butter, unrefined sesame) with one with a higher burning point (any Extra refined will do) and will be able to heat your pane a bit more.
On the note of embedding HTML in Markdown, I think it'd be cool if it were just as easy to embed Markdown in HTML. Something akin to a <markdown> tag.

Markdown makes it easy to write formatted content at the cost of initial compiler setup, HTML is 0-cost setup but takes some effort to write formatted content. With a <markdown> tag one could start with vanilla HTML at zero cost, use all its features straight away, but not have to type HTML for the simple, "content" parts of a site.

EDIT: there seem to be web components for this already:

The goal of non-rolling release distros is to have a predefined set of dependencies, which the distro maintains and fixes if necessary.

If Rust decides that it no longer supports compiling on x86, or if it starts depending on a version of LLM that no longer runs on a supported architecture, Debian must fix that for their users. That leaves the curl2bash installers that are popular with fast moving tools and languages useless for long term stability. The same goes for crates, which can be pulled at any time for almost any reason and break compiles.

Then there are other setups distros can choose to support, like having update servers/package repositories for updating servers that aren't allowed to connect to the internet or are even air gapped. You can't save rustup to a DVD, but you can take a copy of the Debian repository and update air gapped servers in a way that leaves a permanent trace (as long as you archive the disks).

Not all distros have this problem. In theory the Rust people could set up an apt/repository Debian users can add to get the best features of a package manager and the latest version, and distros like Arch/Gentoo don't bother with the stability guarantees most distros have.

Qemu can ignore these requirements and opt into not being packaged into distros like Debian or Ubuntu or Fedora or RHEL or Oracle Linux. That'd cost them a lot of contributions from those platforms, though, and may cause a risk of the project being forked (or even worse, end up in the ffmpeg/avconv situation).
Those were already tracked by an amateur astronomer. What's your point?

I switched to Reader Mode in the hope of getting something more usable, but the screenshots of the Nat Friedman and Tailwind websites take up a bunch of space between every paragraph of content, making even Reader Mode awkward to navigate.
Nice setup. $50 for a used LS-2000 is a steal! I used the Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II for many years until it broke down, at which point I could not afford a replacement. I stopped shooting with film almost 15 years ago but for a long time had my eyes on a used Coolscan 4000 for those eventual few moments where I found a forgotten slide or strip of film I hadn't scanned, but eventually settled with the Reflecta CrystalScan 7200. Though it's not quite as good I find it an entirely acceptable film scanner on a budget.

Well I couldn't tell you that, but most people just use web browsers.
The fact that this website decided to "fade out" the paragraph at the scrolling level where I usually read is infuriating.
> Where do you draw the line between extending your project and providing free labor to a for-profit company?

I work on my various projects to the extent that it is fun. If it stops being fun, I don't do it. Making something broadly useful is generally more fun than helping someone with a one-off thing, though that is not my decision criteria.

If someone wants me to do something that isn't fun, they can offer me money, though they will generally need to offer me enough more money than it isn't worth it.
I have to wonder if stuff like this will, over time, force companies to be extremely wary of any tech that eventually falls into the "extremely difficult to remove" category, and have companies instead requiring open source solutions and then separate contracts with support companies for those solutions.

It's just further re-emphasizing that it doesn't matter how good your vendor is now, they will probably eventually get acquired by a company attempting to squeeze every last penny out of you. And their cost-benefit calculation is no longer based on how much unique value the software is providing, but it's instead about how much of a PITA it is to migrate off said software.
Is there anything more going on here than "use the right tool for the job?"
This. This looks fine as a some sort of demo and when opened on 14" macbook but on 27" monitor this is just torture.

No one else's responsibility, but if people care (and there's obviously a number that do), then it becomes your responsibility if you want to see it still exist.

Having volunteered for a small not-for profit for nearly a decade now, there's definitely a whole lot of people that just want something with no desire to give back to that community. You really do get what you put in though.
I'd love to read some blog posts on your process. Actix never struck me as super easy, at least when I checked it some 2-3 years ago.

> it's more like saying something like "english is more readable than french to a spanish speaker"

On the contrary French is much more readable than English to a Spanish speaker. Because French is much more similar to Spanish than English is.

Same with your JS example, I would guess it is much more similar to what you are used to
I believe you might be referring to tablet-based PrEP, that treatment is a few hundred dollars a year depending on your geographic region.

The $40k+ price is the cost of the 2x pa injectable form. This is a relatively newer treatment and not widespread.
"Dogmatic":

A fully developed pre-frontal cortex is not a question of "dogma". It's something that can be clearly seen from an MRI scan of a living brain. Observations of large groups of humans of various ages have shown that the vast majority of humans under 18 don't have it and that the vast majority of humans over 25 do have it.

I recently evaluated web tech stacks and my thesis is that Next.js is the most powerful and will win in the long run, but right now it's a bit too new for most web projects -- the ones that are low-traffic, simple apps. Migrating your codebase to another version is just not that fun, and I deemed that still too common in Next.js
If they really are that complex, then use react for them. One of the biggest issues I have always had with react proponents is the "well if I need react for X then I might as well build the whole thing in react."

Islands Architecture is really not complicated. The bulk of your app can be very simple hypermedia exchanges and components and when you need a really fancy widget, load it and mount it where it needs to be.

That's because real-world Haskell tends to not be idiomatic, and it involves a lot of directly telling GHC what to do. Mathematicians don't have to (and rarely, if ever) make efficient code. GHC is a really advanced and impressive compiler, but that really doesn't amount to much. At some point the language just devolves into understanding what arcane compiler internals you need to invoke, and it's more like a bunch of C macros with a fancy runtime.

The question is then what the Constitution says about a president who fails to execute his constitutional obligations, such as lifting martial law once it is nullified. Is there an impeachment process for a constitutional violations or a faster solution.

replying to myself to provide more context.

In my PhD work, I helped conduct the human portion of a study on this topic, contributing to some discussions at the FDA [1]. The idea was a bit controversial then, and I've had a few anesthesiologists get mad at me for it, but the general pattern has now been replicated quite a few times now, such that the field has largely moved on from 'Is something bad happening?' to 'Why does it happen, and how do we prevent that bad thing from happening?'[2]. So it has been a gratifying excursion from my typical research before and since then.

At least when defining "slavery" as "restricting people to dispose freely of their time, space (or goods…)", and when considering the way most people on Earth are employed today, yes.

Of course, if we define "slavery" as "harsh, senseless, cruel, violent, selfish abuse of other humans", then (I hope in the vast majority of cases), no, contemporary employment and slavery are different in kind.

But I do think there are reasons to doubt this second definition to have been systematically accurate.

For example, it makes no sense, from a cost-effectiveness point of view, for a slave owner to mistreat his slaves that much: it's in his best interest to make sure they live decently. Or, in a society where slavery is culturally acceptable, hence widespread, many slave owners must not have been this inhumane.

I'm not saying it never occurred, merely that there are good reasons to think that it wasn't as systematic as we tend to believe.

Systematic relevancy benchmarks like BeIR, MS MARCO are planned.
