I generally skip articles from Farnam Street. Once I saw the source, I already knew what the comments would be. ;)

That's what I was going to say. The bullet points sound like a ton of work. And I'm sure the devs put considerable effort into exploring these points. There may have even been code in the repo to address these points.

The spiral for me is that as I get sleep deprived, I get more vivid dreams which wake me up. A good night sleep is one in which I wake up having not remembered any dreams.

This is timely, I was looking for builds I could use on my Raspberry Pi yesterday. Thanks! Note: I'm not seeing the release available on the website, but it's available in the Github repo.

Right, HN is the site I check when I'm not sure my connection is working, because it loads so fast. It HN doesn't load, then I'm more likely to walk away from the computer than to check another site.

So, a handshake to someone who believes that sort of thing is like being a republican or a democrat. They use it as one minor signal of values. It's a tribal thing. They aren't using it as a test of strength, but of background. Yo

> "You can tell a man by his handshake" In what sense do you find this hilarious? It seems like a strong signal to me. It's not meant to be applied as general categorization. It's meant as a symbol which can be used t

Personally, I feel like it's rare that I stumble on a tool and need to read its landing page. If I know of it, it's probably because someone told me about it or it's already part of something I inherited. And that's prob

I don't keep up on the daily turn of events in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but I believe that one of the demands Russia made in response to the cratering currency was to demand that "unfriendly" countries make purchases from

One metric you could use is lines of dialogue. Here's a Reddit thread which gets into this with Mad Max Fury Road. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/gbjt9t/mad_max_in_f...

Falling imports due to sanctions creating a trade deficit. Russia is getting paid in Rubles for natural resources, but sanctions restricting their ability to spend. Or something like that.

There's still something to this, though maybe not as the parent comment worded it. Culture in modern Japan is significantly different from "most of recorded history." If the cultural belief is that you need a house, car, and

Is it really the teaching which makes the difference though? I struggled with math through all levels of school. As an adult, I struggled with with programming, but I was self taught. After putting in the hours, I eventually learned enough

This article seems to be more about what you can learn from playing poker rather than actually suggesting that you should teach it to kids or learn poker rather than chess. The kids and chess parts seem to be a theme meant to draw people in

Dense living doesn't necessarily have to be a big city. I live in an area where I see people out and walking. The local neighbourhood feels bustling. If I needed someone to watch my kid, I could call outside for someone from a number o

I didn't say there was no fraud in the PPP program. The OP comment didn't mention the PPP specifically as stimulus. The context of the article, is individuals investing money in meme stocks. The PPP went to business owners (with t

The OP didn't mention PPP. The PPP was much different than the other forms of stimulus. It either went to employees, or it had to be paid back. The interest on the loan was low though. I doubt much of PPP funds were being used in the m

This is close to my answer. Good alternatives for not much more money. Good for limiting wasteful time. The more system I have, the more I want to screw around. I use Visual Studio Code and Obsidian on my system and they both run fine. They

I think the development question forces hard choices. Your choice right now is to work a full time job. The development may need to happen at work. If you can't develop there, then maybe look for a job which is more flexible. Alternati

Do you have full time employment? I think you have to be aware of how limited our time is. If you have a full time job, there is very little time outside of that to do anything. The trouble is that a job also drains a lot of your energy, so

I kind of wish I could do this. I just separated from a live-in partner who won't let go and has been causing me grief for much the past year. Separated with another months before that one. Each time ends up being a lot of spent energy

I feel the deeper thing that's going on is that you're objectifying the other side. By turning them into an object, you strip others of their humanity. You then setup a relationship in which you can rationalize doing all sorts of
