A competent administration would bring about an antitrust suit here I feel.

HARD disagree. Watch “the business of being born”. We’ve turned a fairly routine extremely biologically conserved process into this insanely traumatic experience.

You can always use the library

They said “delusional”

The actual study doesn’t compare between generations. So I’ve know way of knowing if GenZs attitudes are much different comparatively.

Interesting results regardless when they compare the shift of 2025 to 2026

Wait until they go 996!

Seems like an opportunity to form a coop. I guess I’m being naive though. I just don’t know how

Acts of service.

I was at a Gurudwara (Sikh house of Worship) yesterday for a wake and everyone who enters the cafeteria perform shevas, that is, you take a turn serving everyone else food. It was very nice to do.

Just getting back here, didn't expect all these replies.

I meant supply-side.

My understanding is that a large portion of Scandinavian socialism is paid for by sovereign wealth funds, ultimately backed in their oil production and reserves.

I know they’ve gotten a lot else right of course

Not trying to be overly flippant... who cares?

The paper opens with "to feed a growing population" without asking is that what we need? want? where we are actually heading to?

Is feeding the world a real problem? I've yet to see compelling evidence that it really is except as a secondary effect of logistics, energy supply, and war.

edit: I understand the environmental impacts. I think we should solve our energy problems first.

He seemed like a kind and gentle man. I looked up to him. RIP

Complete opposite of my experience

Are you hand coding?

* work from the gym, if there is a lounge area * work from the library * join social clubs pertaining to your interest * change your job to be in-office, the commute and errands that occur incidentally result in more interactions

I'm sorry you're going through this.

I see so much creativity coming from young developers I just can’t agree. Yes most developers in the past 20 years who were only chasing big tech money were useless. Good riddance

He introduced me and many others to Sarah Paine. I think that helped launch him. Maybe that was already after he had an audience though.

The funny thing is his questions to her were terrible. But she rescued it anyway.

But I think he has improved markedly as an interviewer I will say

ChatGPT and Wikipedia are not primary sources of information.

Some people are colorblind. Some people have more or less cones and rods. Our interpretation of colors is certainly not the same

I used cursor over the past three weeks to update a 12 year-old Ruby on rails project. While it has been slightly updated throughout the years, this was my first proper modernization of the code base.

It’s been a real pleasure getting back into Ruby after so many years in typescript, python, and rust.

Happy to see the update. Real shame about the haters here, the Ruby community is a supportive and positive bunch that has shipped real products while others seem to worship at the altar of computer science alone… that’s about as counter snarky as I want to be here

I compound tirz with glycine and B12. I honestly think these are miracle drugs.

I’ve never been extremely overweight but I hit a point where I had 30 pounds to lose, despite my height, and I can’t deal with the hunger amidst all my other life stresses.

I’m a huge proponent of GLP’s, but with respect to cars I would say that the privatized incentives outweigh the risk to the public

... if you use less water than the amount prescribed on the box it'll be proportionally starchier. It isn't a myth, you can literally see the starch in the water ...

The cooking time is proportional to the thickness.

General advice on pasta:

* a quality dry pasta (dececco e.g) will have ~14 grams of protein per 100 grams dry weight, this is really essential

* bronze die cut will help soak up more sauces

* you do not need the full volume of water the box says, but start your timer once the water has returned to a boil

* once it has gotten to a boil, keep it boiling, but it doesn't need to be a raging boil, that'll tear apart the pasta, especially a stuffed one

* heavily salt your water, but it does not need to be "salty like the ocean"

* set your timer for a minute less than the cooking time on the box, check for doneness, then give it another minute if needed

* if you're finishing in a sauce, take the pasta out a minute before it is done. Remember to reserve one cup of the starchy cooking water before draining your pasta entirely

* do not put oil in your cooking water, it will NOT help it not stick. Just stir after you put it in, and then again a minute or two in

* if you're struggling to tell if it's "done", take a bite of a single piece, and look at the cross section a bit of "white" in the middle means that hasn't hydrated fully. Maybe you like a bit of "toothsome"ness ('al dente'), maybe you don't

I think we need a new protocol, a hard break

Has anyone tried these books for their kids? Or are they just too dated?

The big benefit is tipping in cash. Buys a lot of good will… and free drinks

I play Mastermind with my kids. It hasn’t clicked quite yet with them but I’ve shown them my strategy of eliminating colors by making an entire row a single color successively. Either it’s not present or now you know how many of a particular color. Then you just need to figure out ordering. Again you can use a known “bad” color to avoid ambiguity of multiple white pegs

Except the Iowa farmer has a disproportionate amount of voting power compared to say someone in NY or CA.
