I think your last sentence is the reason for the obsession with starting your own venture. Then there is a theoretical "end."

There's practically unlimited amounts of text. Including what is generated by itself. Also intelligence isn't the same thing as input.

Fix your mindset first. "I know the best of my life is behind me." If you think like this then certainly it will become true.

so much more convincing like this. What do you think about him filing charges after some stalker tracked down his kid and blocked in his car?
Re:ElonJet Is Now Suspended on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @12:32PM (#33986790)
right, I'll meet the annoying persistent sarcasm with some more. We should go back to the old twitter! Where woke 30 year old ivy league graduates get to decide the conversational overton window! That was so much better than aspiring to this free speech garbage!
Re:ElonJet Is Now Suspended on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @11:29AM (#33985851)
make people sign up for the api with a reason for using it. Then the api key can be revoked if it's just being used for doxing.

ok point taken but I think this might be a case of removing general public access to all flight data, instead of some rule change on twitter.
Re:ElonJet Is Now Suspended on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @10:43AM (#33985051)
serious question, does free speech extend to doxing? Personally I wouldn't like if there was a twitter that constantly tweeted the location of my car.
sei italiano? pensato che la conversazione era buona ma io ho solo studiato l'italiano da 6 mesi.

unfortunately feeling like shit can make it very difficult to think through these things. Pretty great idea.

haha no worries, it's a bit of satire on your typical work email. I'm a data analyst so emulating what I see a lot.

hey jarrenae,

Thanks for this update. I've included a couple points below to improve on before our next meeting:

- can i get a similar look to this but in pie chart format? Maybe just include top ten labels?

- I would like to see a larger size of the visual on the page

- the color scheme is okay but try experimenting with black font for the locations

Best, LimitedInfo

Happy to see tares as your top choice. I used the same method and came to the same word.

I think the problem with your suggestion is it ignores fulfillment. Yes if you simply watch Netflix, relax, and socialize you will be happy. However, If that's the only thing you do besides a job you don't enjoy; You might often question what you're doing with your life. The correct answer is you need to find an appropriate mix of "good" things and "bad" things to do in your free time. What that exact mix is will be different for each individual.

I like your use of "The Algorithm." I think every one of us has an issue with The Algorithm, its just a difference of UI depending on which addicting service is the problem.

I'm not sure that anything in this piece was gender influenced. The author could have a female name and I wouldn't have been surprised.
Awesome thank you for the info!
Thanks for the heads up about tweets, I had no idea.

I've actually started working through the startup tutorials for both Flask and Django. However, I was worried that Flask wouldn't have the necessary functionality as I'm imagining log ins and voting systems.

I started on Django but despite my Python experience I found the structure pretty complex. Do you think Django is worth the extra effort over Flask?

Interesting, I hadn't heard of static website generators. Did some googling. Would this limit my website in some way? For example, would login functionality be unavailable since everything is preloaded?

Ask HN: Experienced Back end Developer that wants to make a website

Hello HN.I have extensive experience with Python, and some experience with c, and databases. However I have no experience with HTML and CSS. I would like to make a somewhat complex website where I display tweets from the Twitter API and display data that I have in a database. Should I learn django/REACT, or Flask, or should I use Wordpress? If you think I should use one of these options, should...

There was a thread on here the other month about a chronically ill person who was accidentally overdosing on Vitamin D. I believe the conclusion of the piece was don't take copious amounts of Vitamin D and assume no side effects.
