I'm pretty sure everyone has 0% concrete in their body.

Artisan Alliance made a couple of very good videos on high detail resin casting with silicone molds [1]. They focus on mechanical keyboard keycaps, but the same ideas apply to many other things.

I couldn't agree more. It was also a red flag when she said that she wanted to normalize her depression. Depression, like any other mental illness, should be destigmatized but not normalized.

Through out the entire post she outlined exactly why it should not be normalized. It's a debilitating disorder that should not be left untreated. I think to try and normalize it would leave the impression that severe depression is analogous to having a hard day. This is because to most people that is the closest thing they have experienced to severe depression, but in reality it's very different.

I think by doing this she is actually working against her own interests.

>it is a bad judgment call to parrot a line about experimental medical treatments

You do realize that medical science has been doing vaccines for a while now. Really, there's no reason to think that there are any long term side effects to the covid-19 vaccine. Medical scientists aren't reinventing the wheel with covid-19. They already have blue prints from other corona viruses to work off of. There's nothing experimental going on here.

>Google said Google Search is designed to provide people with the most relevant and helpful results and the Ohio lawsuit would make it harder for small businesses to connect directly with customers

Why do multi billion dollar companies keep pulling the "small business" card. Does anyone actually fall for this?

Why does this post have two comments but over 700 upvotes?

It's essentially a folded Corne keyboard [1]. I like how you can adjust the vertical position of each row, that's definitely new. Over all this is a very cool direction to take ortho linears.

So another piece of evidence suggesting that unhealthy social media use exacerbates depression. Am I the only one desensitized to hearing about how bad social media is for you. I've heard it so often that now my first thought when I hear that is, "yeah, duh."

But no one ever listens. People who post stories about how they "quit social media and never felt better" get tons of attention because most people recognized that social media is bad for them. But just like a drug, everyone is aware of these feelings but never listens to them. Those posts also remind people of their bad relationship with social media which puts them in an even deeper spell of unhappiness. So, in order to feel better about themselves they go on Facebook and watch Dude Perfect videos until they're numb.

Here is some unsolicited advice: just stop. That's it. It's the same with other forms of addiction (with the exception of drugs that can kill when you go cold turky. Luckily, social media is not one of them), you just stop doing them. What do they do in rehabilitation? They distract you from thoughts about drugs and try to create other avenues for you to get the reward mechanisms drugs gave you before. But really all that boils down to is you just stopping and moving on.

The fanboy mentality surrounding this site kind of rubs me the wrong way. Why is putting the "skip" option in a blue box marked wrong? Why are square boxes marked wrong? I get the feeling that the creator of the site thinks that if a website doesn't look like the iOS interface then it automatically looks bad.

I hope most people that are in charge of web design disagree with the premise surrounding this site. There shouldn't be a "correctly" or "incorrectly" designed site. It's like declaring Renoir is better than Monet. They are both amazing, and in the end there is no objective foundation to claim such a thing.

So they're using low to medium energy microwaves to power devices? Well if anyone doesn't buy that they can always try and sell it as a heater [1].

>To be a nerd is to be socially awkward, and there are two distinct ways to do that: to be playing the same game as everyone else, but badly, and to be playing a different game.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I've always been under the impression that this is what it's like to be a geek. Maybe someone can help me understand the two. I've always identified more as a geek for this reason, but maybe I'm a nerd.

I'm not sure what fluid you'd be able to use on Venus' surface considering it's well over 400°C. Even mercury boils at 357°C.

This is fantastic. I was just complaining today about how obnoxious not having an Instagram is. That is trying to view an Instagram profile without having one yourself.

Either you can only scroll so far down the profile page and be prompted to sign in, or you can't even view the profile without signing in. It's such cancer. But this is the exact solution I was looking for!

Wow, I remember commenting on the original r/cyberdeck post three months ago. Pretty wild that it's on hacker news now.

This sums it up [1].

I'm more curious if he was actually studying. A lot of people claim they can study for these absurd amounts of time when the vast majority of it is actually spent staring at a page or even rereading the same page.

Marty Lobdell did a fantastic talk a while back [1] that changed the way I used to study and I'd recommend it to anyone who feels like they aren't studying efficiently.

Completely the opposite. It's the difference between a non-medical doctor diagnosing someones medical condition and telling them to go see a real doctor. Sometimes people don't know when to go see a doctor and need some help knowing when they should go. Their advice was completely appropriate given the situation.

Even if you didn't mention it was a Soviet joke, I'd know it was Russian.

Duckduckgo for search, Lavabit for email service, Mutt for email client, /e/ for my phones OS, Firefox for my browser.

Other than those, I don't really use anything google has a foot in.

This is GPT-3 generated. Some no name 'news' outlet uses a web scraper to get tweets, and the like, then generates 'articles' about them... change my mind.

This is insulting. The whole premise behind the paper is that open source developers aren't able to parse comits for malicious code. From a security standpoint, sure, I'm sure a bad actor could attempt to do this. But the fact that he tried this on the linux kernel, an almost sacred piece of software IMO, and expected it to work takes me aback. This guy either has a huge ego or knows very little about those devs.

I do this as well. Once I learned how to do the Ian knot I never went back.

I remember reading somewhere that the version of Coreboot they use for these laptops aren't entirely blobless like Libreboot. Is that true?

This is some great insight! Thanks for this!

Wait what? Who has ever been caught from analysing the blockchain? Everyone uses local crypto exchanges to cashout/cashin and burner wallets. It's literally paying/receiving cash but with extra steps.

I wonder if they're crypto-mining.

This. Plus if you pay for stuff like mobile data and receive dozens of emails a day on your phone, these high MB emails add up. Less bloat means more money saved for me at least.

I think Wallace is right in a sense. But I think 'worship' is the wrong word and if we're interpreting this literally then no, there is such thing as atheism.

I get the sense people too often take this quote out of context to suggest atheism is some form of religion. Wallace was a master of the metaphor. I don't believe that he meant this literally. I think he could have used the word 'nihilist' instead and gotten the point across but I understand why he didn't.
