This reminds me of "The Artist's Way".

This belongs on reddit. Not HN.

For context. This is how it was done during the Manhattan Project. https://www.osti.gov/opennet/manhattan-project-history/Peopl...

This is some low hanging fruit that keeps getting driven by in order to speed up development. There is so so much potential here. If this can replace the RPS consulting industry I won't be unhappy. Let individuals do it themselves so they have time to work themselves into some other position or move up/take on more responsibility.

That was painful to read and acknowledge. Succinct.

The only other options are psychological or kinetic.

Depends on the place. Live in rural Georgia (Carroll County). Within the last two years have had Spectrum fiber and Carroll EMC fiber run by the house. First is underground and second is on pole.

Does anybody know what they are building yet?

Interesting

I agree. This is the golden tool that doesn't get the hype. Well as golden as tools get. Hope they can keep delivering. It seems to hit my personal sweet spot.

Give Cline + vscode a try. Make sure to implement the "memory bank"...see Cline docs at cline.bot

"There is some evidence that exposure to nicotine, which is one of the components of cigarette smoke, can actually reduce the risk of dementia. Such reports may be useful in indicating possible research directions for drug design.

However, nicotine intake through smoking would not be beneficial. Any positive effects would be outweighed by the significant harm caused by the other toxic components in cigarette smoke." https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/managing-the-ri...

My niece would disagree. She loves playing violin just for the playing of it.

"I don't enjoy this domain as much and don't find it as interesting" vs. "I'm not willing to leave the company because its stock 6x'ed last year."

He probably was buying them at a feed store. It used to be much much cheaper to buy steel cut oats and big bags of wheat berries as livestock feed. We ate them as kids in the 70s and 80s. We ground the wheat with a hand mill. Not sure if its cheaper now. Soy and corn are primary feed stock produced these days.

I accidentally fell into working for state government. Small state relatively and it has been one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done. I am able to help people, again, use technology to make things easier. It is very enjoyable. I can see myself working here until I am no longer able to keep up. I enjoy programming, but more importantly solving problems, and really hope that I don't have to retire.

That is awesome. Keep up the good work little buddy. Love the retro feel of the wizard. :)

Which is why I went paleo after 2.5 months minus oxalates. I honestly have concerns about stomach cancer (family tree) and it allowed my to substitute coconut oil for a lot of the animal based fat I needed to consume for those 2.5 months. It is hard to do 20% of your calories in animal fat (male) and 30% (female) to maintain hormone levels. I don't know if those are hard and fast rules but they were the generic guidelines given to my by my PA.

Just anecdotal. Was T2 and getting kidney stones every two or three months (cause not related but treatment was). Cut out oxalates which restricted diet. Monitored sugar 3-5 times daily. Switched to carnivore diet + onions and mushrooms and went on Metformin. All at the same time. Did this for 2.5 months with no additional exercise. This dropped me down below T2 level. Went off Metformin and am maintaining with same daily testing. Off carnivore for paleo minus anything with oxalates after the 2.5 months strict carnivore.

Strict carnivore for me was steak, hamburger, stew meat fried in butter, mushrooms and onions in butter, bacon, and very sharp cheddar (only on burgers or raw). Eat every bit of gristle and fat. It is very hard to get enough fat.

Brain fog lasted for 10-11 days. Felt fantastic after that.

To keep your carnivore costs down I would recommend stew meat from Costco fried with onions and mushrooms when you can't stand steak or plain burgers.

This has worked for me for the last 6 months. I have no idea what it will be long term. Maybe someone will find something useful in it.

Smoked for 15 years, switched to vaping, switched to low dose nicotine pouches, now switching to Gr1nds (coffee grounds). I just really don't like gum.

More people can afford phones than can afford tutors (or even books). We shouldn't get rid of tutors anymore than we should throw out Khanmigo because it isn't perfect.

We have increased classroom time to make it the place kids go while their parent(s) are at work. As a society, is that the best thing to do?

...this. I have 10 hours a week in the car commuting and since there is a lot of podcast on video now I split my time in half. Half podcasts and half youtube. Sometimes I have to watch sections at home or work with code or equations but all in all it works very well. Probably not a new habit for others but the last two years I have been pulling in a lot of youtube "talks".

Scrap paper with list of todos. Throw away or transfer to new list if down to one or two items.

Yeah Build wasn't very good this year. AI attached and talked about primarily instead of focusing on actual tech. I love github Copilot but as a dev not much interested in using it in every Microsoft program.

Bought a farm and went to work for a state government. Still doing dev but having a lot more day to day impact and when I leave at 5 I am done. Went on a contract and decided I liked what I saw from work life balance. Has let me step aside and let my wife and kids pursue their career while I focus on keeping animals inside fences and doing the laundry because everyone else is working 60-70 hour weeks. And no, none of them are in dev. They saw, or didn't see because I was never around, why it was a bad life choice for them I guess.

Anecdotal. Watching ag day for years, the amount of large scale farming in the central South American region has increased significantly. Expect increased runoff and decreased natural cooling from old growth forests. Not saying other things aren't a factor but as we see many farms in the US returning to cover crops in the off season for soil amendment, sand dams in Africa for water capture...we will need to find practices that help central and south South America find their balance.

Made this same decision with my mom in her late 50's. She went back to work and uses Microsoft day to day at her job...but the Apple decision both for PC and for phone has been very beneficial. It was always more intuitive for her.

Ugh Whisper. On Audible I used to browse the free sci fi. Found James S. A. Corey, etc. there and ended up spending a lot...and I mean a lot of money buying authors series that I had never heard of. Now all the Whisper read...stuff crowds everything out. I don't even bother anymore and look elsewhere for books, use podcasts, listen to long youtube lectures while on the tractor, doing fence, clearing land on the weekends and during my commute.
