That's certainly true and remains an unacceptable state of the world, but it's also true that globally, it's a steadily decreasing number, even under conditions of population growth. E.g. looking at child mortality over time

I'm super curious about whether anyone has great rituals they do with their team, especially when multiple countries and time zones are involved.

Author here. It's in some ways well and good to be sceptical of the health and wellness industry, including gyms and software companies like Lifesum. Note that they're my ex employer. I have good feelings for the place and own som

Here this is phrased at the project level, but the same sort of thing seems to be true of leadership roles. If you're leading something, no amount of delegation removes your accountability for it.

Is there a great speech generation model that runs on MacOS, to close the loop? Something more natural than the built in MacOS voices?

The majority of them are forced by a person who is organizing them because that's the only "work" that that person is doing. This a pretty cynical and unproductive way to think of meetings, management, and the essential tas

I agree, it’s quite in contrast to the attention paid in the writing itself.

They might be an excellent solution for the last mile of mass transit, and a boon for the increasing elderly population in many countries.

Marcel looks really interesting. As someone who's leaned into Nushell deeply, I can tell you that the tabular and hierarchical data output is the major selling point of Nushell. For me and my team, who work with data and metadata const

It sounds like the system isn’t designed to enrol patients this way, via a systematic patient-driven search. Instead, it’s probably designed to identify and funnel eligible local patients in. From the prospect of the clinicians involved, th

Overall self-reported life satisfaction seems comparable between Western Europe and the US, with the US sitting middle of the pack, and nordics reporting the highest life satisfaction. That suggests that some of the extra wealth effect in t

I think about this another way. If you're fast enough, you can afford to do the gardening you need to keep your codebase in a good way without having to schedule it all in. If you're fast enough, when doing data analysis, you earn

I've been playing with Nushell in past weeks and it's truly excellent. I find it occupies a weird niche where I can do a bunch of data wrangling with it, and some basic exploration, but hit a ceiling where what I've done is l

Tons of the pieces you mentioned are probably not that expensive to run for a small use case, given you're only charged on demand. The cost is really in the dev ops time and expertise to orchestrate the whole affair, and in the new way

I totally agree with the author, I find I'm finally able to ask about a range of new concepts, get them explained at my level, and dive deeper as curiosity warrants it. It's also magical when you summarise the understanding you&#x

I'm now religious about adding Makefiles to projects with standard commands to get them up and running. It's built-in, works across languages, overall a win when you switch often between things!

MacOS contains tons of nice usability as a working environment, and even has great rolling package management with Homebrew, but the lack of native containers is the single biggest downside, basically preventing us from using containers mor

It's typical in calorie tracking that people start the day strong, but then forget or lose will to track later in the day. Ideally days without a full record should be excluded; I'm assuming that's just not happening here.
