Magnesium absolutely helps, and with our modern farmed diet, most people are deficient. It it part of over 300 chemical reactions in the body.

I've also been seeing a lot of comments about melatonin. For those taking it, as long as you aren't on an SSRI or other seratonin regulator, take 500mg (up to 2g) of L-Tryptophan. It's one of 9 essential amino acids (of like 22) that we only get from food, and is the basis of seratonin. The chemical process in the body is Tryptophan -> 5HTP -> Seratonin -> Melatonin. Again, because of our modern diet, we don't get enough of these essential amino acids. Many people with mild anxiety have gotten off anti-anxiety meds by switching to just taking tryptophan. Anyway, it's helped me, but it gets a bad rap because "tryptophan makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving". Actually, no it doesn't, it's the amount of food you eat, honestly.

I've read the Bobiverse series too :-). Maybe the question then is, do intelligent species have the will to invest the capital and labor required when there is no payoff in those decision-makers lifetimes? I think there are individuals who do, but I think it's an open question if societies can.

I wonder if the "generational problem" is a potential reason for the Fermi Paradox. If it is extremely difficult for a species to expend resources on multi-generational projects, then the species horizon is only that which can be spanned in some fraction of a lifetime of that species.

And when it's offered for free once, it's then a race to the bottom. People in general don't understand the value of curation nor quality, especially when it comes to information. So it's hard for well-curated high quality information to remain because it costs money to make it.

No, it's not in the text at the original link, however, yes, there is a link to the full article in the blurb with the how: https://www.nationhoodlab.org/the-american-nations-regions-a...

We started with a Betamax player. I think one underappreciated reason for VHS's win was that you could put a movie on one VHS tape, whereas the Betamax required two (at least at the time it mattered). And in an era of movie rental stores, that made a difference. Both in terms of logistics, but also in terms of the consumer having to load a new tape halfway through a movie.

Out of the box Linux Mint, Debian or Fedora Gnome or KDE is similarly "just works". A lot has changed since 2007 Linux.

And you couldn't fit a whole movie on a single Betamax tape. That alone was a reason for VHS's acendancy.

> the entire Amiga hardware and operating system was written to make assembly coding convenient

I am curious what specific examples do you have of the HW and OS being made/written to make ASM convenient?

Is it just me who 15 years ago laughed at the first big April Fools jokes by companies online, but now just cringes when I see headlines like this?

It's more common than you think, and it's called "terminal lucidity": https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/terminal-luci...

I pay for kagi.com and they seem to be fighting that battle. I also frequent their "small web" (https://blog.kagi.com/small-web) initiative.

because the crypto bros love him

At least for ^ I was always told that the ADM3a terminal keyboard had a HOME key with ~ and ^ on it, which is why ~ means "home directory", and ^ means "home of the line".

Where do left-tech activists tend to hang out? I would be interested in joining...

I did much the same thing (and much more) 10 years ago. I used a RPi as well as a Canon point-and-shot out my window. My pics were 1 per minute.

Here is a link to the keogram section (I didn't know the term), but watch the whole video, I did a bunch of other art:

That's a great concept. That was part of the premise of Smalltalk and Oberon, for example. How are you extending Lua to accomplish that goal?

Thank you! This is wonderful.

Do you have any texts/websites/papers that would allow one (me) to learn about "deeply rudimentary Lisp" and how to create one? I am especially interested in learning why 4 general-purpose registers are important and other lower-level details like that.

Ohhhh... I didn't know you could blacklist, thanks!

The shepherd.com link is the second one that shows up on Kagi, after a Quora link: https://kagi.com/search?q=best+books+on+Battle+of+Midway

The same could be said of the ARM Cortex-M0+.

What YouTuber? I'd like to subscribe.

All value isn't monetary. From the article:

“I believe in the sacredness and the sanctity of the land,” Reynolds said. “The coordinates aligned with my zodiac sign. And you could hear the ocean.”

Thanks for the link. I don't like videos tagged as "made for children" because videos tagged that way aren't able to be put in a playlist or "watch later" queues. That's a YouTube thing, but YouTube doesn't provide any additional views or promotion to have it tagged that way for educational videos like this. In fact, it likely will get less.

It also went wrong using only profitability as the only measure. Obviously an unprofitable company isn't long-term sustainable, but a maximally profitable company might not be either, as a company exists within a society and on a planet with limited resources.

It doesn't matter if it is a rumor or not. The fact is it was non-public and material information. And that's the definition of insider trading.

Are you sure that's the correct URL? That site is a near-default Wordpress site with a single Hello World post from 2018.
