So, when hundreds of millions of people got checks because covid, that wasn't inflationary? Sure feels like it was. UBI is the same thing.

If you have cats you’ve willing given up your sanity.

I guess we should both re-read it then.

Wow. Way to flippantly shit on the paragraphs of explanation they gave of their own free time.

Europe though, yeah they’re killing it.

One of these days, I’m still hopeful, we will figure out that behaviors are taught, usually by parents. Intentionally or accidentally, kids learn from what they see.

I don’t care what nationality you are, or what your skin color happens to be, the root cause is how kids are reared.

In my head it’s so simple.

Using the word “retarded” like that negates any other point you tried to make.

> how does this compare to expert users

You’re conflating a person trained in a craft (medicine) with a person good at asking a next-token-generator (anybody) and sussing it off as if it is a given. Its not.

Huh?

That doesn’t make sense. C absolutely does not have a dependency manager.

I’m not, I still don’t know what it is, just that it was some kind of fad.

It’s pretty amazing. I’m a survivor, so far, and it’s amazing.

As an aside, Godwins law apparently needs a corollary name for trump. Almost every thread on here anymore brings him up. I understand people are emotional about it, but it sure is getting old.

Genuine answer: I buy a lotto ticket like once a week. ~100 bucks/yr seems like a decent risk/reward tradeoff once over a certain tier of income.

If it’s the city I think you’re referring to, the governor was literally begging the mayor to ask for help from the national guard, and she refused for hours. They would have been deployed long before that. I believe the quote the mayor said at the time was something like “give them room to destroy” and basically gave the rioters the green light.

Edit:

Fwiw, the governor probably shouldn’t have waited for permission. A white man encroaching on the city run by a black woman at the height of Freddie Gray, tough spot to be in.

> where the mayor of the city said that she was going to allow, give protesters room to destroy and wasn't going to stop them.

In my simple mind, if software has been "released" it is no longer R&D, and "bug fixes" (which should include continuous improvements such as your example) are not research.

I may be way, way wrong though.

Lest we all forget, the messaging coming out the the White House at the beginning was "masks are ineffective"

I missed it until this thread. I think I’m proud of myself.

My current org can have a cycle time on the order of a year. Embedded dev work on limited release cadence where the Jira (et. al.) workflow is sub-optimal and tickets don’t get reassigned, only tested, destroys metrics of this nature.

If this research is aimed at web-dev, sure I get it. I only read the intro. Software happens outside of webdev a lot, like a whole lot.

I don’t think anyone doubts there are good things that come from China. Using a throwaway account won’t help your cause marketing China. Like every other “superpower” China has their major, major flaws. The kicker is trust. Pro-China rhetoric on a highly-moderated forum should be met with skepticism.

This isn’t opinion. The great firewall of China isn’t a farce, it would be good to remember that.

Sincerely, just do what you love with it, don’t market it.

You can’t assume the entire surplus went to fat. That’s nuts.

It’s really solid to do one big cheat meal, dinner+drinks+dessert. An entire day I agree, not the play.

Most people only burn 150-200 calories when they work out.

If you were eating the exact same and just not working out, you wouldn’t have put on “a bunch of fat” at all. Maybe 10lbs over two years.

Taking a picture of everything you consume in a week that isn’t water, and reviewing it at the end of the week is fucking mind blowing if you’re honest about it.

I also come from a family with substance issues, alcohol et. al. You can use your imagination.

I focused on the water thing because it is so, so easy to smash a 20oz coke without thinking about it, twice a day even. I’m sure I don’t need to inform you about the nutritional information of coke, but 40oz a day negates any kind of diet or exercise two-fold.

I also made the point about 3 meals completely because of metabolism and the bad effects of eating only once a day. There is however value in skipping breakfast and only eating lunch and dinner, but not if you just make up for breakfast with the other two meals.

The world isn’t black and white, absolutism is never a good thing unless you’re designing digital circuits or some other “there is no other choice but binary” but there already is an exception to your rule.

Keep an open mind. You sound like you’ve talked yourself out of lots of things and seem to have accepted defeat and blamed your circumstances. Coming from the same background as you I would encourage you to at least admit to yourself the things you already know and excuse away. When I finally had that moment it was a game changer.

Yeah, “no snacking” would have been my next suggestion, but I was worried about coming off as too preachy.

My spouse and I work full time with 3 kids between ages 3-11. We are very busy, all the time. We have both lost a noticeable amount of weight in the past 6 months following these kinds of “rules” if you will.

People who says they’re too busy are sadly fooling themselves.

We don’t even exercise! Well, maybe at night sometimes…

Rome wasn’t built in a day and all that. Maybe set 1 goal a week, or a month even, and then add to them.

For example, only drink water. It’s all the body needs for hydration anyways. No soda, diet soda, alcohol, slurpees, etc. Black coffee if you enjoy a cuppa in the morning, no sugar. (Good black coffee is such a joy)

Then set a rule about only eating 3 meals a day, however you define meal. No snacks in between.

Losing weight, even accounting for hormones, really is a diet thing. Exercise daily burns like… 100-300 calories, which is a small fraction of basal metabolic rate for a grown human.

Not all of them of course, but a lot of them are ex-military.

I would just give some sort of LLM-esque answer that sounds correct but is very wrong, and hope I would get the opportunity to follow that up with: "Oh, I must have hallucinated that, can you give me a better prompt?"

I crack myself up.

We must have different definitions of released.

I guess I lost the plot. Same point, either you work or you don’t. I grew up not knowing if I would have dinner that night because we were so poor. I learned I needed to work to eat. I don’t care that rich people are rich, I only care about myself and my family.

Coddling poor people is so severely out of touch with their reality, they most likely resent the hell out of you for it, I know I did.

VPS providers don’t put out articles espousing their value twice a week because they don’t need to, the value is obvious.

I didn’t mean to come off as argumentative. Again, in my head it’s so obvious what the end game is, and it isn’t to better humanity.
