I don't particularly like Mozart but I'd be an idiot to say it's not good music. On the other hand most people agree Taylor Swift does not make good music, having released lots of samey 4 chord songs with incredibly simple melodies, but she's one of the most listened artists of all time.

14-18yo I went to the gym 1hr/day every weekday, boxing 1-2hrs 3x/wk, karate 1hr 2x/wk.

18yo+ I've boxed, run 30-40 miles/wk (some 3/4hr runs in there too leading up to ultras), climbed 2-10hrs/wk, and gym 2-3x/wk for the last 5 years although that schedule and activity level has varied since I have no real reason to kill myself training now that I don't compete in anything.

None of the above have an impact on sleep or ability to fall asleep, I have taken weeks off due to injury or months off due to burnout after a 12hr race, and my sleep schedule hasn't changed. Still tired-ish around 5-7, then 7-2am find it impossible to fall asleep, followed by 5-6hrs sleep and repeat. I 100% agree with the guy who replied to you that got heavily downvoted that "just exercise" is a vastly oversimplified response to the complex issues most people have with sleep. Not everybody's sleep issues are due to an inactive lifestyle, and I'd bet that is not the case for the majority of people.

They get people in the door with a really powerful free editing software, and once you've invested time into learning it and made it part of your workflow, you want to pay the £300 to upgrade because it's too much hassle to learn a new editor, and Resolve is awesome, but you reallly don't want to keep waiting 3hrs to generate 1/8th res optimized media for your whole project before you can preview at more than 10fps on an i7 Extreme Edition (that's how they got me, if you couldn't tell).

It's an effective free -> paid product-led conversion path to acquire customers. Being on HN and presumably working in tech/SaaS, this is a familiar and effective business strategy.

They completely blow any consumer inkjet out of the water in ease of use, not having to install bloatware with popups telling you to buy more ink and preventing you from printing black and white when the magenta ink is "only" at 25%, printing speed, and the fact they don't outright break forever if you go 6 months without printing (where an Inkjet would often get irreparably clogged and be ruined).

Looks pretty similar to me, and being a monospaced font makes sense as it's being used by a dev.

All readily available online, if you can afford something like $200 per 2ml of silica nanoparticles. It would be amazing to see one of the YouTube channels that has tried making their own, just make the real thing.

I imagine a suit made of dripping wet Kevlar wouldn't be too comfortable though. John Wick would experience some chafing.

I leave my personal Windows 10 desktop running for about a month at a time so I don't have to reopen 5 different windows and arrange them across three screens for uni work every evening. It works fine.

Mind you, if it was a Mac I'd not even have to reopen or arrange them after restarting the machine - they'd still be there. Although my work Mac loves to randomise which display gets which windows and desktop background... And randomly pan all bluetooth audio to the left ear once a week. I guess all OS's have their issues.

Great to see an apparently US-based fab opening though (I'm not from the US, but anything not based in China seems to be good for the industry)

Whatever caused the accident is just as likely to cause another car to go in, ie oil or coolant on track, or even debris from the current incident.

Same applies on the roads I guess, especially in poor conditions.

I have a "prosumer" grade £120 ASUS gigabit router, which has a perfectly adequate settings UI, firewall, port forwarding, and supports NAS via a USB HDD, or 4G failover if I ever happen to need it. No need to overpay for fancy business/enterprise grade networking equipment - plug it in, and it works.

Photos/videos are stored in Google Photos for £1.99/mo - I'd happily pay more if I exceed the 200gb limit I currently have iirc, but most of this is junk I won't ever access again that got backed up from my phone, eg screenshots that I took to send in Messenger/WhatsApp and forgot to delete afterwards.

Pretty much anything else that I do with a computer only has to be done when the computer is turned on. Having a separate server running drawing 100-200w at all times (even when we're in the office or sleeping, which is >2/3rds of the day) considering current energy prices, seems like a massive waste of money. 100w 24/7 for a year costs £300 at the current energy price cap (which most tariffs are currently at or around). I can't remember the last time me and my partner needed simultaneous access to the same files via the network, or I needed instantaneous access to a file on my MacBook or Android phone that is on my Windows/Fedora desktop, so another reason I don't see any need a NAS or server.

Wrt movies (Plex/DLNA/Kodi) there's very few films I like enough to want to watch again, that aren't included in Netflix, Amazon, or Disney's library. Hence there are very few that I own physical disc copies of, and I can just play the disc on the PS5, or my PC's bluray writer, or the upstairs TV, so no need to back these up onto a HDD or stream around the house. Any content that is already on my PC just requires me to switch it on (via either Wake on LAN, walking 10m upstairs and pressing a button, or bluetooth switchbot) temporarily to stream to my TV via a DLNA server. No need to leave anything running permanently.

Really the only way I can see home servers making sense, is if running the server itself is your hobby. The added convenience is almost zero, and for me wouldn't be worth it considering the £300/yr electricity cost and £300-£1000 initial outlay I can imagine for decent hardware and a few TB of drives if you don't have an old PC lying around. Plus all the time spent configuring, monitoring, and maintaining - most on this site do enough of that at work already, and I have enough hobbies as it is ;D

Bearing in mind these are probably not even using YJIT, which makes Ruby considerably faster in some scenarios.

LinusTechTips did a good comparison with an actual pro player iirc.

We have to whisper to the Hub Max in the kitchen, from 3 inches away, and the Minis in the dining room and living room often still hear. If I don't whisper, even the ones upstairs hear. Sometimes I get 2 timers for my cooking, sometimes I get one on the wrong speaker. Then I try to cancel the timer, and the Hub Max hears instead and tells me I have no timers set.

The Hub Max asks on the screen if the wrong device responded. It clearly ignores your response, as the wrong device also responds the next time. I have pressed that button easily over 50x before I gave up and stopped.

Something clearly changed ~6mo-1yr ago because they never used to be this bad. It used to be that they would all listen, then only the closest one (that heard the command the loudest) would respond. Problem is, when I'm cooking the Hub Max is 1ft away and the rest are through (often multiple) walls metres away from me.

Ethically most people probably wouldn't be happy to find out that you recorded a conversation with them.

In school I used to go to the gym every day for 45mins at lunch, and box 5/6hrs a week, from 14y/o. The last 3/4yrs I climbed 3/4x a week and the last 2 of those I also ran 3/4x a week up to ~40km/wk, albeit inconsistently around my 9-5 and part time uni course.

Every time I cut out one of the sports I enjoy, I am drastically less hungry. Yes, a 5km run might burn ~300cals, but if I'm so hungry I eat a whole extra meal, I'm generally more likely to gain weight. Same for lifting weights, but even moreso - if I go and hit a 200kg deadlift PR I'm going to be hungry the next day, but that 1-2hr gym session maybe burned 100 calories at most. Exercise for weight loss is only useful if "calories in" stays the exact same, and even then it would be way less effort to reduce "calories in" and not exercise (if weight loss is the only goal).

The point at which this stops applying is excessive cardio, ie running 40km+ in a week. That will pretty much always result in a caloric deficit for me, because at that point I'm forcing myself to eat enough food to recover (rather than having to force myself not to overeat). Most people exercising to lose weight (rather than for enjoyment, to push themselves/prove something, or to win a race) don't want to exercise. If you have to commit 6hrs a week to cardio to see any effect, 99% of people aren't interested, so I'd imagine they fit into the "not excessive" category where exercise might make them want to eat disproportionately more than they burned.

Controlling "calories in" (which will guarantee weight loss, as far as the laws of physics are concerned) is always going to be the easiest path to weight loss.

> I've had a role to play in removing a megaton of carbon from the atmosphere every week

You're not removing it, you helped create the thing that was putting it there in the first place, and fixed your mistake! It's still there, it's just not getting worse now.

Or programmers who are bad at art, so, programmers in general ;)

My experience of Torx screws in high torque applications (bolting together Bosch high pressure diesel pumps) also makes them seem flawed, as the small contact area results in damage to the screw (hardened, awful to drill out, yet still round off with an almighty crack when enough pressure is applied, hence needing to drill out) or damage to the thin ends of the Torx driver itself 50% of the time.

> The only official image published by Coradir Automotores shows the Tito with the original Today Sunshine M1 grille

Looks like they're importing them but with their own styling changes, and originally posted an unmodified Sunshine M1 on their website.

I like to think this implies that they had committed countless crimes by the age of 6
