Semaglutide seems to be able to weaken urges, not just suppress the sensation of hunger. A lot of people have reported having a significantly lessened urge to drink alcohol, too. I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

I wasn't impressed with Calibrate. The coaching aspect is very minimal and after several months of waiting (with no response from support) they let me know that my insurance wouldn't cover the treatment. They did refund most of wh

The main three things Assange/Wikileaks did that lost my assumption of good faith: * Innuendo regarding Seth Rich (Assange clearly had no information on this subject and should have been honest about it); * Falsely presenting a leaked

Neither of the major email leaks in 2016 were from the Clinton private server. One was from the DNC and the other was from John Podesta's gmail account. There were also (legal, redacted) releases of emails from Secretary Clinton's

This seems like a hypothetical concern. Has anybody actually had a problem with a clearly OSD-compliant license not being approved? Has anybody been "socially exiled" for not using an OSI-approved license?

What is the unamend command in VS Code?

I don't think this is true. GitHub (the website) became very successful with virtually no feature overlap with the git CLI. I suppose you could say that GitHub pull requests and forks are a replacement for git's built-in email-bas

Most people's objections to git ergonomics is not that the commands are slow to type. VS Code exposes the exact same operations on the underlying repository as the CLI, and it's those operations that critics say are hard to unders

The reason to defend the definition of "open source" as it currently stands is to prohibit organizations from profiting from the accumulated goodwill of the open source community and movement without actually adhering to the ethic

By definition there aren't any, but MAME used to be distributed under such a license. I think Debian in particular has been pretty successful at exerting pressure to either relicense or replace software with non-commercial restrictions

The Etruscan alphabet was derived from the Greek alphabet, so I'm not sure why that would be suspicious. Etruscan dropped a few letters but otherwise it's very similar.

An exhibit is the outcome of multiple rounds of curation -- which items are preserved through history, which are acquired by museums, which are retained, which are displayed, and the prominence with which they are displayed. This curation i

Most people can't legally acquire the games to play on a PC emulator. This provides a large number of games for a reasonable price, a plug-and-play experience on an actual TV, and a controller. (Also, these devices can usually be hacke

You can dynamically create symbols and expect them to be garbage collected as of Ruby 2.2. They only become "immortal" if you use them to define a method, instance variable, or constant. So the common use case of hash keys is fine

In the US, when it comes to Italian food, there's a lot of "you must prepare it this particular way or else Nonna will burst out of her grave and flog you with a pappardelle whip" discourse. With that in mind, it's kind

I don't play the piano myself, but my understanding is that effective teaching requires constant feedback (including, possibly, physical correction) on both your posture and your hand positions/motions in a way that really require

That's a good point. I really just lucked out in immediately finding a good teacher. It's probably worth doing some research and watching some videos from vocal instructors online to get the general idea of what good and bad advic

Congratulations and good luck. I think it's the hardest habit in the world to break for some of us, in part because the rest just can't understand. People are either unsympathetic or too sympathetic, if you get me. Keep on buildin

For the past five years or so, I've taken singing lessons. I really recommend it to anyone who has even the faintest interest, even if you feel like you can't carry a tune in a bucket. What I learned the first four to six lessons

There are plenty of people with right-wing politics who are not "made a spectacle" like Trump. Trump and Musk are spectacles because they have made careers out of spectacle.

Apple had already laid off 2800 people the previous year, and Wall Street had already been expecting more layoffs. The article DHH cites even says the post-Jobs layoffs were less extensive than some had expected. The Twitter layoffs are far

What do you see as the main similarities? I don't really feel like the Beasties' early rock sounds were that much closer to RATM than, say, Run-DMC or even Schoolly D's "Signifying Rapper". The Anthrax collaboration

The answer for why Git beat Mercurial in overall usage more or less boils down to GitHub being very successful. That isn't to say that Git wasn't already in a good position prior to that, but GitHub made it very easy to get into G

This is a great attitude that you'd think would be more common at a place called "Hacker News". The temptation to get "finance brained" is incredibly powerful in this industry, especially as you get closer to Silico

It seems like it could be a way to draw attention to potentially concealed code without making an inflammatory and possibly false accusation. Or it could just be that someone at JetBrains used this trick to hide an Easter Egg at some point.
