That, and the carbs. The time and attention that the phones suck up, also make everyone more likely to consume quick an easy carbs. But it's the carbs that ultimately fuck up your body and then your brain.

Isn't the root cause usually obesity? So good habits and exercise may actually fix it.

I'm kinda worried about the other half. What can we do to wake them up from their hypnosis?

I'm the exact opposite. I got the deck, had a honeymoon period of maybe five days, then I went back to the PS5.

The deck is heavier than the Switch, louder than the Switch (which makes no sound at all), gets hotter than the Switch (which doesn't get hot at all), has a screen that is inferior to the new one on the OLED Switch, and has the buttons in such an awkward position that I get cramps in my hand after half an hour of playing.

BUT YOU CAN PLAY ELDEN RING, you would say now. Yeah nah. All those AAA titles run like ass and/or look like ass on the deck. It's just not a feasible device for anything. For high-end titles, the PS5 wins out always. For indie titles, the Switch wins out, always.

I guess it's a really cool device for hackers who just want to mess around, though.

For the sake of thinking outside of the box, I would want someone to comb through all data and evidence and try to find out if MAYBE the teen mental illness epidemic could be correlated to the other gigantic epidemic that is currently bringing down western civilisation: Insulin Resistance.

Yea, it's just an incredibly silly "general rule of thumb".

Good morning from Singapore!

My side-project of the moment is to turn these amazing videos on how to setup a proper bitcoin node: https://www.ministryofnodes.com.au/ubuntu-node-box-guide-202... into an Ansible script so that anyone can do all the steps shown in the videos in a matter of minutes.

This can only work if you also reduce people's pay if they start stumbling and doing a shitty job.

The most infuriating thing is trying to select text for copying and pasting it into text fields.

Both actions never work as expected.

The "runs on non-renewable" is not a good argument, because the amount of uranium we have would last hundreds of thousands of years.

The fact that it is not evenly distributed is a real concern, though.

There's just no way I'd ever voluntarily give money to Mark Zuckerberg.

Nothing. I'm pretty sure Meta could disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow and after a week of boredom, people would realise that life is actually much much better without it. (I've been off all Meta services since 3 years).

Well, Myst is like 100 times more difficult than something lighthearted like Monkey Island. Those two games are almost different genres and not really comparable I would say.

You are 100% correct, which means that whatever we will create, will be absolutely alien to us (and probably kill us).

There is nothing of real value on Instagram. Just delete your account and never look back.

"People on Twitter" are the exact same people that are also on HN, Reddit, Facebook, TikTok etc etc etc.

This is so bleak. Because it's probably true.

Stop eating carbs, go out and get sunlight. Do mild but regular exercise. I got at least three people of AD medication with this and feel much better myself.

It's because of polyphenols from goat/sheep milk/cheese.

A few billion people who currently have no bank accounts could suddenly participate in global trade.

Interesting that you mention Dune here. I have a similarly strict approach to classifying works as sci-fi for myself as OP and Dune is the worst offender of everything I consider sci-fi.

To me, Dune is some new-age mumbo jumbo. It's fanatasy in space. Or it is contemporary social criticism (the whole thing is a metaphor for the oil industry, no?), but it's definitely not sci-fi.

By the way, I loved the first half of the book. The world building is fantastic, the characters are interesting (and the villains are really villain-y) but after the Duke dies, the whole book goes down the toilet and becomes a series of random adventure-in-the-desert encounters that couldn't be more shallow and predictable.

That being said, I'm probably too young to get it's larger impact on the "genre" (I heard that it's something like the defining space opera?).

That one doesn't work for me on OSX 10.10.2. The one provided by OP works perfectly.

Whoa that was fast, thanks Victor :)

Opened a feature request ticket... tried to get into the Yammer Developer Network a week ago but it seems as if my application does not get approved...

I built this because I wanted to know if there are any other Entrepreneurs near my place in Singapore.

I never used OAuth before and I never leveraged any well known API before (like Facebook or Twitter). Usually I use Python/Django for all my web projects but I felt that a full blown Django stack would be overkill here. So I googled for "python mini web framework" and eventually found "web.py".

With the help of the tutorial I got a prototype running quickly (3 hours or so). Another 10 hours have been consumed by the creation of my hourly database-updater (a simple Python script). Another 5 hours were killed by the creation of the client side JavaScript and all those pitfalls when it comes to asynchronous programming, callbacks and closures. I guess around 2 hours went into HTML/CSS issues.

Ah one more thing: I would probably have given up half way without this neat python-jammer-oauth project on github: https://github.com/lemonad/python-yammer-oauth

Martin here. That is true. Polling the yammer API for retrieving all members is quite slow, also polling Googles geolocation API for getting lat/lng coordinates from address strings is slow and the rate limit would be exceeded in no time if I did it in real-time.

Therefore I scheduled a cronjob to update the database every hour. The yammer API gives 50 users per request, with our 500 members (and still growing rapidly) I need 10 requests already, each taking around a second or two. Polling the Google geolocation API is even slower, but since I save all results and since everyone seems to live in New York (*g), I rarely have to poll it any more.

Oh. This is my first post on HN. Being a daily reader since about 2 years I think. Awesome site with awesome content! Definetly changed my life :)
