Learn the difference between eating until you are full, and eating until you are no longer hungry. Stop eating when you are no longer hungry. I think that's a lot of it. There are a lot of ways to make that work, I'm not sure whic

Wait, who is "we" here? I assumed we were talking about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_disputes_in_the_So... which isn't really related to Japan.

I am an old millennial (39), both of my parents are square in the middle of boomer, and had me when they were 23 (they are in their early 60s now, so born at the tail end of the boomers). Still, it's not like they had me at 35, they we

Yeah... I'm failing to see how "barely more than a nobody" can be applied to anyone who had access to lot of wealthy networks. Maybe in comparison to others in that universe, but put any one of them out in the general public

He had plenty of time to think about it before deciding to fire all the people he fired in the cruelest way possible. It may have been satisfying to him because he has a caricature in his head of who they are and what they did and it made h

The key shortcuts in ltspice are hilarious, it took a decade before I found another program that used R and E for rotate and mirror instead of right clicking in some way. I still haven't decided whether I prefer the horror of embedding

In Canada, on the way back to Massachusetts, I needed to download a repaired version of my COVID card. But the Massachusetts Government Website, that you need access to in order to do things that citizens of the state need to do regardless

In a sense, but if the worry is carbon and energy security then domestic renewables and nuclear look a lot more attractive. Heat pumps are great and super cool but if you include the efficiency of generation it's unlikely to be more en

It would be interesting paired with some kind of heat sink. Solar cells need a heat sink to keep them cool or else the efficiency sucks. Deserts tend to be cold at night. Capture heat during the day as a byproduct of using the solar panels,

The response of the company when the issues of heating, vegetation, snow, and rain is... I guess I am not impressed. > The expert added, “I’m also concerned about the lack of airflow around the module in this system design. Glass-glass

To be honest, I expect that in 10 years people will regularly use these sorts of text generation tools in the way text prediction and thesauruses and grammar checkers and spellcheckers are used today but for bigger blocks of text. I can&#x2

Oh, sorry, you're right. I've been corrected about that before, by coincidence the extremely impressive materials scientists I interacted with happened to be undergrads. They were just doing grad level research as part of the curr

Gives a slightly different vibe to them deciding it was a good time to lay off 10,000 employees. I wonder if there's a correlation between people doing protected activities and their manager perhaps thinking they are not doing as good

Well, of course no one knows... (kidding) I can think of a few that I had never heard of in high school and people outside my field wouldn't know of but which do phenomenal work. One actually wonders how their students even know to loo

Honestly your solution is probably already the simplest unless you're short for disk space. Maybe someone knows a way to make Ubuntu create a special file that contains a buffer with brown noise, like one of those old tape to CD conver

This also helps cover up constant early morning construction and traffic. If I can help it I just use: play -n synth brown on any linux system with sox installed... it's definitely the cleanest sound I've found. Problem with most

I'm similarly always a little surprised at just how inefficient photosynthesis is compared to a solar cell. Once I realized it was more than an order of magnitude I lost a lot of interest in biomass (much less ethanol) as a fuel source

I think what you are describing is both a reasonable worry and also exactly the kind of ambiguity the company encourages. You have no leverage if you're unwilling to leave, and it's foolish to initiate a discussion like that from

There is an infusion of resources. One option that seems common is that users aren't required to contribute towards hosting fees, but donations are easily accepted -- that is how the sustainable ones work from what I have seen. It seem

My limited experience is similar to yours I think, but I'm not sure how true this is. If ActivityPub works for these, is it doing a bad job? - Nextcloud, a federated service for file hosting - PeerTube, a federated service for video st

I may not be parsing you correctly, but in what sense do you mean consensus? I think Mastodon simply relies on there being a single authoritative source of material from any address, and then that goes out to various places local and remote

My impression is that all cars are intended to have a safety unlock in the trunk. I assumed it was mostly in case someone gets stuck inside, but maybe it's to escape through back seats in an accident. That sounds super hard to pull off

See below for the full quote from the canadian website, but CAD$24,057 per year is the canadian cost threshold so yeah, it'd be just barely disallowed. The $120k number you may be thinking of is a five-year average. Plus side, "sp

Yeah, the whole thing where the drug manufacturer pays for your copay is a bit infuriating in how it sets up such horrific incentives in terms of price-to-insurance. Tecfidera was just dimethyl fumarate, which you can buy in gallon quantiti
