I do agree, but it's slightly different I think. All people acknowledge that snakes exist, some think it's not so clear-cut in this other topic.

Do you have a source? It sounds interesting and I always want this to be true, but with the natural circadian rhythm slightly longer than 24h and just the fact that most cultures adopt mono/biphasic (”siesta based”) sleep it seems surprising.

There’s incognito mode for Spotify to avoid ruining your recommendations.

I’m using SQLAlchemy in my job, and have worked with Python for many years. Never have I seen a good case of someone using SQLAlchemy to hydrate objects from raw SQL queries. I’ll definitely admit — I have not gone out of my way to search for it. It seems that it is a common want to do this kind of 60% benefit ORM you speak of, but it’s definitely unclear to me how to pick those parts together with the daunting (and fantastic) piece SQLAlchemy is.

You could as easily write:

We spent 4 months building a software system, running experiments, writing an academic paper, and submitting it to a journal for publication. So now we are done. The end. Right?

Yes! This is what I call stopping at 90%!

The remaining 10% is far more difficult to track and often has no clear stopping point. It's often better to skip the last 10% and move on.

I did pretty much the same during a longer dip. I guess it's a way of dealing with the always-on fight-or-flight mode, so you exercise way more than your body is able to recover from and only end up digging yourself further down.

Now that I am in a healthier state of mind, I find that exercise helps a lot more as long as I can do it in a healthy way.

Alright, I'm going to miss the point entirely here, but I'm swinging any way: if I recall correctly, Kumar had basically studied and become a doctor, but was scared to take the final test due to his fathers pressure yada yada something like that, and it wasn't through sheer luck he saved the patient.

I clean my own toilet now, I’ll clean my own toilet then.

I really wish there was a... "casual" or "slower" replacement for Twitter. I created a Twitter account and followed my favorites, unfortunately I keep getting "outrage" tweets recommended. Funny, it's like it's own little microsphere where people vent about trans, climate, "men are superior to women", all these 4chan-esque topics. It's not even about about being correct, it's just about short "gotcha!" posts that sound good but are riddled with logical fallacies and ludicrous points if you think about it for a second.

I, on the other hand, go to HN to complain apparently. :-)

I like how you skipped the hardest part that requires most Rust knowledge; the `move`

Love it. That's great. Been looking for something like this. If you don't mind me asking -- did you do the landing page yourself? It looks really, really good.

Thanks for keeping the internet alive.

Thanks for doing it. Love receiving this.

>plants prefer higher CO2

Correct.

>rising CO2 is actually likely to do more good than harm to ecosystems.

Incorrect. There's many cases where this clearly outweights the benefits, such as the acidification of the ocean, but also general disruptions of the ecosystems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CO2_Coalition

Oh wow. I had the same thing, I hadn't actually heard of anyone else with the same issue. Basically got a panic attack/heavy anxiety/vertigo feeling sometimes when sitting down at the computer to work. It was a year ago, luckily I'm doing better now. Or well, I now hate technology, computers and programming. Shame to lose what you once loved like that. I hope you are well.

I believe that's completely normal (at least that's what my fitbit says). Unless I'm also suffering from sleep apnea of course.

Unnecessarily harsh rant: senior staff/principals engineers who haven't operated (or been on-call) for anything important come to evangelize.

I suppose this is mainly a thought for projects like neondb/cockroachdb/stackgres (who I haven't heard of but was linked in the thread). It might be reasonable if you need incredibly many db instances, but for the general business who needs "a couple" of database instances, I can't imagine that putting Kubernetes on top would ever serve you better. I'm staying as far away as I can.

It's perhaps not exactly what you mean, but the paint example of Diffie-Hellman is pretty neat for coming up with a common secret: https://cdn.comparitech.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/diffi...

There's a Vim keybinding plugin for Jetbrains products which I can highly recommend. I fully agree -- even as a Vim aficionado the productivity of these big IDEs is impressive. Without Vim keybindings I'd have a harder time justifying it though.

Funny, this is exactly to the point how I have it. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to remove animations on OSX, but works well regardless.

You're a broadcaster host for an entire day producing entertaining content in real-time. I get pressured when I code in front of people, I can see how having to be entertaining in front of a lot of people and have a continuous social media presence is stressful.

I think this is the thing with (web) frameworks. Are you really going to remember that? And actually do it? And work around and build those other gnarly things for CSRF, SSRF and XSS? If you only need to serve happy-case HTTP, for sure you're better of without a framework. At least my experience without using a framework is that it's a tad annoying when you need the extras. And requires a lot deeper understanding of things as you don't abstract it away which is good for learning, but might be cumbersome for actually shipping things.

Don't worry -- you probably wouldn't "want this kind of life" when you're a corporate drone either.

>This quote is comically misused.

It is! I suppose because of its dubious origin. First attribution seems to be from Mark Vonnegut in The Eden Express. Did you read the book, or where did you learn what it _actually_ refers to?

It's a beautiful thing that we can rebrand "hangry" as "warrior mode". I also noticed this and just came to the conclusion that having breakfast and being in a good mood ("off edge"/"relaxed"/"opposite of warrior mode") was more worth it.

It's not very constructive, is it? "It's human nature to be exploited"

Then again, not a lot seem to happen when pointing at short-comings or issues of prioritizing profit and growth above all else in society either.
