A counter-culture has to be at least a somewhat monolithic and unifying thing. If there are two dozen counter-cultures, then there aren't any.

It is a pathetic commentary on our society that we can't implement roundabouts without spending millions of dollars and a decade of time. I feel that an intersection could be replaced with a roundabout in a single weekend if people ca

The word on the street is that Roam suffers from having an insufferable CEO.

Have you been following the field of personal information management closely these last few years?

After working on a Phoenix project and using LiveView and Tailwind it just makes my brain hurt to think of using anything else. I expect Phoenix is over-represented here because Hacker News tends to attract the smart set.

The Django Book is phenomenal. It is just so well-written and so clear that it makes my heart ache: https://django-book.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.ht...

Seed oils did not exist in the human diet prior to about 1920. They are the most ultra-processed possible things you can consume. This talk changed my life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2UnOryQiIY

I'd say we're approximately 400 years away from teaching AI to do this.

The problem with artificial intelligence is that it is not real intelligence.

So you're saying that the type of calories you consume makes a difference, not just the amount???

I would use Supabase for the database and user auth system, I'd use Elixir/Phoenix for the business logic, and I'd use Phoenix LiveView for the front end, with Tailwind for the CSS.

All I know is that if I gorge myself on only eggs and fatty ribeye steaks for weeks on end, then I’ll lose fat, gain muscle, and look good naked. Burn if I eat carbs and drink beer then I gain belly fat and look terrible naked. I never co

Can you recommend a service that makes it easy to create email canaries? Or should I just create two dozen gmail addresses and cycle through them? Also, if I do create two dozen gmail addresses, won't Google just figure this out beca

Are you certain that humans can properly digest gasoline and make use of its calories?

You have to eat the fattiest cuts of ribeye steak to really make the "lion diet" work. (Yes, I know that Michaela Peterson named this diet and she and her father are morons, but the diet definitely works in spite of them.)

Why are you so confident? See my other comment.

When the Ford F-150 Lightning came out I was interested to learn that the battery was powerful enough to power a standard American house for over two days. This made me wonder why new houses don't come with a battery built in, thereby

Conversely, you could increase your caloric intake and still lose fat if you ate only beef, which is the diet I recommend.

I can't stand this "it's just physics" talking point when it comes to calories and weight loss. Why don't you try consuming exactly as many calories of gasoline as your body burns each day and then tell me whether

Back in 2011, I went through a phase in which I ran on the treadmill for 21 minutes several times a week. I would jog at 8-9 MPH for 2:15, then sprint all-out for 45 seconds at 10.5 or 11 MPH. The only other exercises I did were some ligh

I agree with others that you should not introduce a rating system or suggest giving to charity. If no one complains about an employee and you don't notice anything bad, then just take that to be a rating of "satisfactory".

walking is literally the best exercise you can do.

50% speed is impossible to listen to. It will not help your comprehension.

I've begun doing this as well. Also, as soon as one of the guests makes some off-topic joke and I sense that there is going to be some banter before they get back to the point I just hit the fast-forward-30-seconds button.

I am a voracious podcast consumer, probably listening to an average of 5 hours per day. Over the last 2-3 months, however, I've noticed my interest in podcasts rapidly decreasing. Now that the election is over and Trump is fading I gu

There were still over 200,000 new podcasts created in 2022. So the number may be down, but it is still overwhelming.

Just another example of evolution being taken for granted. As far as I can tell the theory doesn’t even explain the origin of species, let alone the wound-healing properties of maggots.

When I visited Calcutta in the early 1980s, I saw limbless lepers strewn in the gutters like trash, covered in flies. I guess passersby did give them some free food or a couple of coins from time to time — but they were so despondent they b
