Very well written, and I'm sorry to hear you're struggling! Maybe writing might be a good cathartic way to ease some of the mental pressure? Journaling is a place where you can talk about anything, so to speak. Hmm, the bit about

Great great write-up! I would personally recommend meetups. I have found them to be a great way to be social and meet new people. And one thing that makes it nice is that there's no expectation of becoming life long friends -- being ab

Thank you, this did the trick!

Hmmm the page isn't loading for me, I'm getting a "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" error.

And if so, then that's fine. But for others it isn't. And my guess is the latter is more common.

Responded to one of your sibling comments with more thoughts, but it could very well be what the patient themselves wanted -- help with breaking the addiction so they could instead spend their time doing things they care about.
128.
by cdrini 2y ago
I think that's a kind sentiment, but the counter arguments would be (1) they could very likely overdose and die, and (2) an addiction changes who you are, so it's not that "they" want it, it's the addiction that wan

I agree with a lot of the complaints on this article except I think like two, and this is one of them. I think a sticky header is incredibly useful, and they're not something new. Books have sticky headers! Every page of a book will ge

Haha fair enough! I use definition to mean essentially "what one sees as the meaning of a word". That "one" could be Webster or another dictionary. Or an individual. Your definition, is "the meaning of a word as spe

As a thought experiment, jumping back to the parallel with fitness, is your statement the same as saying "I suppose it depends on the person, but the older I get, the less patience I have for eating healthy and exercising, and the more

Fascinating, that has not been my experience. Can you give some examples? Although I will note there is always some variance, the issue happens when it's too great, and some people's definition of a word is barely even overlapping
134.
by cdrini 2y ago
I would argue if you asked 100 random people to draw a red Vs not-red line in that experiment you described, short of colour blindness, you would not see very much variance in the position of the line. That is why I believe the terms have c

My issue is it just so greatly depends. Certain parties, if I have some sort of pressure on me, I leave tired. Other parties, I leave happy and contented. I might even be tired, but overall happy! When I'm going to a party, I might fee

by cdrini 2y ago
Yes, but some terms have more trouble with it than others, and if the term cannot converge on a clear, repeatable definition over time, questioning the utility of the term seems reasonable. Eg the terms "red" and "green"

That's not quite true, social isolation has been shown to be correlated with an increased risk of dementia and cognitive impairment in older age. And I reckon there are other studies that show correlations with other health outcomes.

If it's public domain, you can create a new record for it on Wikisource once you think it's ready for the human touch. This is the purpose of Wikisource though, taking the messy automated OCR, and allowing volunteers to correct&#x

I think they think that generative AI might help give his artist friends a competitive edge against other artists, which would help make them more hirable, hence assuaging their concerns of obsolescence. My guess would be OP thinks generati

I think you might be missing my point. It seems like you're arguing "being an artist is not becoming obsolete because...". I'm saying that OP is not making the claim that artist's are becoming obsolete. The OP'

He said he's trying assuage his friends' concerns that artists are obsolete. Ie op agrees that artists are not obsolete.

What will you be using it for? Where do you think you'll see the biggest benefit over the cheaper plan?

I'd still recommend it, the Trump mentions are pretty marginal. I think the core message is pretty apolitical.

Exactly this. Especially an article that picks a side without showcasing an understanding of the pros and cons of the "competing" approaches.

I agree with the title that you shouldn't look down on print debugging. You should look down on people who are slow at fixing bugs and who refuse to try tooling to be able to keep pace -- and using print statements can sometimes be a m

Oh if you set the environment variable COMPOSE_FILE, you can specify a colon-separated list of compose files, which get merged together. This lets us have our core services in our main compose.yaml, since they're shared between dev and

For 1, docker has a handy special file to make this even easier! `compose.override.yaml` loads automatically on top of the main `compose.yaml`. We keep dev configs in there so Devs only need to run `docker compose up` locally without any en

Great points, and thank you for sharing references as well! I was later thinking that I should have also mentioned that "it likely is good for your brain, just not because of the processes in this study". Maybe if I exercised more

Note this study provides no evidence in support of this statement; strength training caused motor neurons to grow -- the neurons between your spinal chord and the muscles -- not neurons in your brain. Your statement is likely true, but just

by cdrini 2y ago
Clarification since a number of the comments are reading this as "strength training makes your brain stronger". This study looked at _motor_ neurons, not neurons in your brain. Motor neurons are the neurons between your spinal cor
