It absolutely isn't. I agree with you. I have issues coping with my emotions. That's the problem, not tracking. I am acutely aware that I eat far, far past the point of satiety until it physically hurts at least once a week, and y

I like the idea in principle, but with the way the US government is going, you get section 28 again on the grounds that being trans is a mental disorder curable by conversion therapy. Which it isn't. If I hadn't had trans people o

Of fucking course they are. I can track everything I eat, but most of the time I find myself too stressed to care, let alone to run the numbers in my head. If your life sucks and food is the only thing that gives you any reprieve from anger

Forgive me, but are that many people that morbidly obese and adamant that it's not their responsibility when they're in the dang hospital? I'm carrying around a few dozen extra pounds, but I don't need special-sized any

Consider being less online. This is one of those hobbyhorses that doesn't come up much in real life.

You couldn't design a better society than the modern US to cause all this shit. There's a reason everyone from overseas who travels here puts on weight. I have to be fastidious to the point of obsession to not gain. Intermittent f

A few months of blockers won't do much of anything in the long run. The risk of osteoporosis in the absence of sex hormones is well-known to endocrinologists, and they account for it. Even a few months of cross-sex hormones will do ver

This is a base rate error. There are so many more trans people recently because it became socially acceptable to be openly trans somewhere around 2014. The watershed moment was probably Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Time. Even among those

You're talking past me. I'm a trans girl who went through testosterone-mediated puberty. If "the cause" is dysphoria, then "treating the cause" is transitioning.

It's unclear to me what you're meant to do about this besides never post anything, which is depressing. Hence I don't even try.

AI alignment is the closest thing to an unsolvable problem I've ever seen.

Don't do that. Be glad you're your own person. You don't get that far that fast without being pushed harder than any kid should be pushed. I used to be this kid. I finished undergrad when I was twenty and had I minmaxed for a

This is clearly not what GP meant, and although i18n is rather complicated, I suspect that pointing all these things out to a junior dev in an interview would actually cause them to BSOD. The only correct answer to that question if you take

I know Charlie Stross reads HN, so I'm going to say that I really enjoyed his book The Annihilation Score , which uses Peel as a plot device. It's book six or seven in a series, but all the books really stand alone.

Sure, if I know it's bigger than my screen I'll open another terminal and use less. But I can generally tell if that's the case from the filesize.

A good friend of mine called "cat file.txt" UUOC on the grounds I should have run "less file.txt". If you're writing a script, sure. If it's the first step in a pipeline that you're typing on the fly, does

"Garbage that shouldn't have been written" is verging on a personal insult. That's not the kind of criticism I had in mind.

By god, that's Deleuze's music! I disagree that the code I write is "part of me." It expresses a series of ideas that I had. And every therapeutic modality I have tried would have failed if I didn't have the implici

If you're going to run a shop like this, it had better have a newsstand, a library, a collection of board games, and the best coffee in town.
