Every time I read something like this it strikes me as so incredibly odd that people are into sunlight.

For me, direct sunlight is a 100% negative experience. It’s physically dangerous to skin, generally unhealthy if you aren’t Vitamin D deficient, extremely bright, causes wild temperature flux throughout normal working hours, etc.

I have spent a lot of time and a fair bit of money making sure natural sunlight never reaches the places I regularly work and sleep. I would live deep underground if I could. The incessant changes in light, temperature, humidity (even indoors) are a constant annoyance that must be compensated for.

It’s a wonder to me that anyone enjoys such experiences.

I was learning a bit of spring last week and a spring boot web application, generated via the web interface boots in like 800msec:

...
Initializing Spring embedded WebApplicationContext
Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in 339 ms
Tomcat started on port 8080 (http) with context path '/'
Started DemoCourseApplication in 0.746 seconds (process running for 1.012)
...

Reusing my experience from other technologies... I'd say the issue might be in whatever you're doing in your initialization and/or how much stuff you're loading.

Looks like the core spring is decently fast, to me.
I agree in the principle that extraordinary claims must be backed by fact and evidence.

I disagree that there is an excess of hyperbole going on.

I truly believe that Trump/Musk/Vance and the unitary-executive/techbro-cult, if they are not soon stopped in their tracks, will have subverted American political and economic power for generations.

Europe and Canada and the world can no longer trust the United States as a long-term partner. This isn't about subtle pivots and diplomacy. This is betrayal of values on our closest political, military and economic allies.

He is actively destroying the apolitical civil service and trying to gut the pipeline of young, skilled workers into federal government. The only motive for the actions they are taking are to destroy our government. I would not be shocked to hear reports in the coming months of military officers being asked who they voted for in 2024.

He is claiming (and trying to exert!) levels of executive power that generations of Americans were taught by Nixon were forbidden.

“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

"If the will of the president is not implemented and the president is representative of the people, that means the will of the people is not being implemented and that means we don't live in a democracy, we live in a bureaucracy.”

These quotes should frighten every American.
My pet theory is the proliferation of digital entertainment options, and gaming / online culture. There are a lot more ways to keep yourself occupied inside, so less reason to go out and get into trouble.
MacBook pro M4 with a low-glare display and 1600 nits iirc works OK outdoors but still doesn't get close to eink in my opinion.
When people say food they’re usually not referring to the raw materials. They're talking about the food they eat when they’re abroad and is a reflection of the cuisine and the culture.

Also, talking about European food is a massive generalization considering how diverse the place is.
There was a duo of reasons there. Earlier on its life most of the production/development studio ended up expecting the game to fail. And had it done so Sakaguchi was planning on quitting and returning to university life. So it was somewhat literally his final fantasy at the company, which turned out to come true.

Really funny how such things work out. A slightly worse role of the dice and nobody would ever have known of his talent for games, or perhaps our timeline missed out and his real talent was in music, which is what he was initially studying.
If that is the case that is insane. In any event, that doesn't mean that other rich people don't restructure their income.
Mangled names get me to open my eyes a little
There may also be a side business selling skin products to protect people who may be exposed to the radiation from this new reactor. Possibly people may even choose to vacation in areas of elevated radation, as it is likely to be warmer. Interesting...

nice reminder :)
You clearly don't want to read anything outside of Twitter/Musk, but another error, fixed/hidden in order to keep showing incorrect data that looks better for DOGE.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/upshot/doge-contracts-mus...

The DOGE website initially included a screenshot from the federal contracting database showing that the contract’s value was $8 million, even as the DOGE site listed $8 billion in savings. On Tuesday night, around the time this article was published, DOGE removed the screenshot that showed the mismatch, but continued to claim $8 billion in savings. It added a link to the original, outdated version of the contract worth $8 billion.

So much honesty and transparency out of this group.
And those two numbers are boundaries of an interval bijective to the whole number line...
You probably didn't listen to the conclusion?

Wow, this is such an insanely useful tip. Thanks!
> "There is no comparison between left radicalization (rather small) and right radicalization (massive)."

Oh no, you're totally right on that one there. The numbers of people going to those extremes are definitely far far higher on "the right" for sure. I just find it a bit "scary" that radicalization and extremism on either side is becoming so normal instead of a massive push-back against it. It's absolutely dangerous that society is coming to accept and support the sorts of extremism that they have in recent years / decades. This is not gonna play out well for humanity. :(
It's the equivalent of the cops pulling you over and using a slightly dim tail light to search your entire car, make you get out, spread your legs, and get a pat-down.

Every large government department in every country in the world has some waste. All of them. All of the time.

This is why it's so disingenuous for Trump/Musk supporters to point at tiny bits of waste or whatever and scream "See! See! We found it! They deserve what they got!"

It's not coincidentally one of the justifications used by Russia to invade Ukraine. They claimed they were after Nazis. So what if Ukraine has Nazis!? So does every other damned European country! American has Nazis! Russia has Nazis!

It's the drill sergeant making you do 100 push ups because there was a barely visible scratch on your boots. His boots have scratches too. That's not the point. It's an excuse to make you jump.

My advice is: Any time anyone uses such a claim, or anything like it, always ask yourself: Okay, but what is the base rate for this thing they've suddenly decided is objectionable? Is it higher or lower elsewhere?
I use Axum and Askama for such usecases.
FWIW, the American Steve Jackson also wrote three Fighting Fantasy novels (Scorpion Swamp, Demons of the Deep, and Robot Commando):

> "As Ian and I couldn't write a book a month, we opened Fighting Fantasy up to new authors. The 'Jackson & Livingstone Presents' series came into being. The first new author was...Steve Jackson!"

> "Even to this day, many Fighting Fantasy readers aren't aware that not one but two Steve Jacksons worked on the franchise - the second being the Texas-based founder of Steve Jackson Games."

It's a lot harder to write rust than python.
To play Alyx costs $299 if you were to buy a Quest 3S. Even less (~$200) if you were to buy a used Quest 2, which for PCVR isn't that much different in terms of overall experience. The barrier to entry is extremely low. Hundreds of dollars sure, but only just, barely hundreds.

But PCVR isn't really why people buy these things (which they do, Quest headsets cumulatively have sold ~30 million units) it's a value-add, most engagement is with Meta's store. The reason why this engagement isn't noticed by you is because the demographic showing the fastest uptake for VR is kids and teens, while you, I and everyone else posting here is old as fuck.
It is a very bad idea to handle the KV cache in Jax naively like that. Jax requires static shapes. You're creating dynamic shapes there, causing a ton of recompilation.

> Network latency is negligible

Yes but now you also have a network to maintain.

> Just start with Postgres or MySQL in the first place. It's just as performant, just as easy to set up

Yes it's easy to set up. But then you have to maintain it. It's another daemon that needs care.
The words you are saying here are qualitatively different from the words you said in your original post. Like there are no explicit (i.e. directly stated by the words and not implied) contradictions between the two, but it just squeaks by on that account and there are implied contradictions.
Lucky enough to get really quick relief from over the counter migraine meds (triptanes) at even tiny doses. Life changing when I realized I didn't have to do just obscene amounts of ibuprofen and coffee for pretty poor results, and even a half of these tiny pills worked.
Interesting. So pip install times did not make them to kill each other and the result is sometimes works, but if we wait on cargo build somehow it triggers them.
Unless the hat has a hard edge which sits right on top of the piercing you should be fine.
Show HN: Copy as Org-Mode for Chrome
This WebExtension is a Chrome version of Firefox extension: Copy as Org-Mode for Firefox, which is developed by kuanyui.

The origin features incloude:

- Copy webpage url as org-mode link format.
- Copy selection content as org-mode format.

And I’m add a new feature for Chrome version:

Add Save Page as Org-Mode to context menu.
This will save the current page as an Org-mode file and save it to the a directory that you can choose.
Then you fire those "HR drones" along with the ostensibly "useful" people and suddenly you can't reach the "useful" people to rehire them because you fired HR.

This. When I look at code I should just be able to follow it and know what's happening. The whole annotation magic and config files makes it hard to understand the flow of things.
Yes, and we owned a 200 year old cottage in Ireland that definitely had leaded paint, and I needed to take paint chips and mail them to the US to get them tested because nobody in Ireland took me seriously. I had a newborn at the time, too.
Specifically they were able to maintain a tokamak plasma (presumably at fusion temperatures) for 1337 seconds, using two megawatts of heating. 1337 is not a joke; presumably the "leet" reading is coincidental.
Agree. RabbitMQ is a Swiss Army knife that has a lot of available patterns, scales fairly well, and is very robust. If you don’t know what to choose, start with Rabbit. It will let you figure out which patterns you need and you probably won’t scale out of it. Pay someone to host it.

On the other hand, if you know what you need to do and it’s supported by it, NATS is IME the way to go (particularly JetStream).
