Heli Attack 3

Amazing tool and very accurate, even on some esoteric texts I tested. Wish it let me just dump an entire stotra :)

One UX concern: the app appears to push multiple entries into the browser history without meaningful route changes. This makes the back button require stepping through redundant states before returning to the previous site.

That behavior breaks expected browser navigation and can feel like back-button hijacking, which is generally considered a UX anti-pattern. It would be better to push history state only at meaningful navigation boundaries.

Sharing this in the spirit of constructive feedback.

> which ones?

The literal food pyramid that’s printed god knows where and that is recommended in many countries due to US recommendations.

Have you been to the site OP linked?

> Ironic given Tim Sweeney's supposed anti-monopoly stance.

This doesn't really make sense. If you are implying he is FOR monopoly, he would want the game on every possible platform right? He loses money by not having more players playing his game.

This is gonna be spun up as a security thing, and banned cozz Murica.

I did a DEXA scan at the end only so I don’t know the before accurately. I have some measurements from my Scale on muscle mass which shows a drop of about 2 kgs. Overall I lost about 30-35 lbs of weight. The measurements from the scale should be taken with a grain of salt though because they are based on impedance and formulas that are related to BMI

The Fasting Mimicking concept is there because this method was exclusively tested on Cancer patients who are also going through Chemo therapy. Having nutrients for these patients is important [1]

Is pure Water Fasting superior? Yes. I have done 1 week water fasts, back to back for 4 weeks and lost ~30 lbs.

However, I think fasting mimicking may help adherence for some people.

A lot of extensive research was done by Dr. Valter Longo and his department on similar topics and has made its way into an easily digestible book called The Longevity Diet. It changed my perspective big time with food.

Highly recommend reading this book for folks that are interested in Longevity.

Dr. Longo has also done a few podcasts with Dr. Rhonda Patrick (who might be more known to the audience here) you can checkout

Because you are an active consumer of YouTube to the point where you think it’s worth it to pay the monthly fee; as do I.

However, I seldom read any news articles maybe 1-2 here and there only. In that case I wouldn’t want to pay for a susscriotion. I likely also don’t wanna pay like five bucks to read an article.

This is one of those things where interests of the consumer are at odds with that of the business. Businesses need money, customers have money. Customers do not always want to pay the businesses directly. This issue is more obvious when it comes to news media. We don't have a good solution to pay $0.01 - $0.10 or whatever small denomination. The other question is would we even want to?

I don’t think Freemium or whatever subscription model solves these problems beyond the scope of a single website. I am interested to hear how this can be solved for consumers for whole swaths of websites that have ads.

It’s pretty easy to say ads are evi, but I personally don’t know a good solution.

Yes but the notation of dot, plus such function names plus optional parens makes it sure read like English. That’s great but it’ll be a nightmare when you are also dealing with strings which similar English in it.

Yeah this language probably has a lot of Stackoverflow questions. This is basically like tasking someone’s personal dot file and trying to reason about it

The “map read” part is what’s off. I think it’s because parens are optional or not required.

There are other languages which are functional as well. like the one in the article and like Elixir where readability is it sacrificed.

I still think readability is atrocious in this language. Sure I can get used to it, but I’d never want to subject myself to that

Maybe because I haven’t used languages like these in the past, but I hardly think this is elegant, much read readale. I would hate my life trying to parse code like this in a 10k LOC codebase.

strSum = sum . map read . words

Hey folks -- I was recently on a Subreddit of my hometown (/r/toronto) and saw the stark difference between the Metro System of our city compared to other places in the world; some of which had projects started much later than in Toronto. I was curious and wanted to see other places around the world. Thought it might be interesting for folks here.

They are convicts

Love this concept but I wish it did not pick topics that were so "distant" from the current topic.

Initial topic: Pizza Recommended nodes: Pizzerias, Italian cuisine, Woodfired Ovens, Neapolitan Pizzas

At L1, I'd expect more of the last, such as type of pizza.

> The title of this post claims that pytz is the fastest footgun in the west, by which I mean that pytz is a quite well-optimized library, and historically it has been faster than dateutil.tz

Wat. The author has no idea what a foot gun is.

Pytz is a must because using the standard library and timezone manipulations often leads to bugs. There are nuances around “naive” date times where one can easily just add a fake timezone value, not realizing that the time didn’t actually get localized to the timezone.

There are other libraries such as Arrow and Pendulum worth checking out but pytz is probably enough.

Was looking through your projects and saw you made a Chess bot [1]. While the idea is nice, I wish you just played with strong bots rather than real people. Its kind of ironic that you then hid your username [2] in the video lol

Looking at some of the examples in the docs [1]. Seems very odd that the mixin class they provided essentially lets you use bounded/instance variables and methods as class attributes and class method. Nevertheless, this seems very promising and I'm happy someone spent time on this

I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. Are you suggesting that all corporations actions are based on morality?

I was pointing out that’s not the case.

Not saying downsizing does not make sense, but its a stretch to say that its a service to our society to downsize one's company.

> As a society we allow layoffs because it reallocates skilled workers to new areas that actually need them

This more sounds like a trap mindset to me to be honest. Its associating some sort of morality to what is just regular part of running a business. Companies do what's best for the company and its investors first and foremost.

“Better for society” sounds like an overstatement. I think you mean better for Shopify or their investors.

Are you excluding those 20% MFs that are getting fired from Society? Where are they gonna do their scissoring now?

Libraries and bookstores curate all the time. Controversial books are not sold or removed.

I watch a lot of VASAviation YT videos and listen to liveatc here and there. My parents travel every bi-weekly so when possible I always have LiveATC + Flightradar on and track their arrival and taxing. This is a great idea to fill in the "gaps" between comms. Thanks for sharing.

You didn’t say anything about your financial and substance [ab]use. Seems like you don’t know if what you’re doing is what you want and your GF broke up with you. The latter is nothing. You’re 28; I’m 30. You got decades ahead of you.

You’re lucky this happened to you right now and not after marriage and with kids.

If you don’t have your own self, there’s no point in holding on to relationships. They will eventually decay. Go to the gym, walk, run, play, meditate. Get your own house in order before worrying about relationships. Get a therapist.

Btw this ain’t nothing from rock bottom. I’m assuming you aren’t a burn out. I’m assuming your SO didn’t try to have you thrown off the stairs and kill you.

Tell yourself that you are lucky this happened now and you survived

If you’re a Cartographer and have made thousands of maps surely you know that some maps are for different audiences and use cases. This might just seem odd to you because you haven’t used this information in a manner laid out here, but trust me that it’s valuable!

This has all the information a pilot would need to take off and land from an airport. Airport maps are usually available for free in US but at least I have yet to find some for some Canadian airports. The Canadian organizations sell those. There are paid apps you can get. This looks like a good free alternative.

Addendum: someone mentioned Airnav. Just to see the lack of open and up to date data available freely, look at SFO [1] and look at YYZ [2]. SFO has an airport diagram showing taxy ways and runways and some other meta information. nothing for YYZ.
