monkeyshelli··on Several Russian developers lose kernel maintainership status
I'm wondering does the latest events of N.Korean troops joining the attack against Ukraine have something to do with this?

I also suggest checking out Squat University and Citizen Athletics.
monkeyshelli··on John Carmack Leaves Meta
I think the course just got updated during the past year and now they use Python instead of Octave/Matlab
monkeyshelli··on Stable Diffusion 2.0 and the Importance of Negative Prompts for Good Results
”A lot”. There was some amount of numbers, on how many A100’s were used to train the SD1.5 and what was the training data size, discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33727467

People in SD subreddit have been finetuning the SD-models, so depending what you want to do, it should be doable.

monkeyshelli··on The euro has tumbled near parity to the US dollar
I hope there would be some investigational journalism to dig out how much money flooded from Russia towards lobbying this to happen..
monkeyshelli··on Germany records first monthly trade deficit since 1991 as inflation soars
The parent comment had few valid points. As a fellow EU citizen, from Finland, I'm quite sadden how badly the Germans have handled the post-Ukrainian invasion, from energy perspective and from leadership point-of-view. The latter will have long lasting effect on the whole of EU.
monkeyshelli··on Not My Job
Would you please mind sharing the links? My past experience of picking up projects hasn't been stellar so wouldn't mind to learn new viewpoints.

monkeyshelli··on Stop using your work laptop or phone for personal stuff, because I know you are
I still concider that better alternative than playing Candy Crush
monkeyshelli··on An unwanted update to your Google Account
Is there any reason why e.g. you go for a holiday outside of EU your account is moved to that country (no more GDPR protection) and all of your data can(?) then be processed. When you come back within the EU GDPR-flag is set back to true.

Not working from Finland either.
monkeyshelli··on Microsoft's Creepy New 'Productivity Score' Gamifies Workplace Surveillance
> 2. Accurate estimation of development times is impossible (not difficult, actually theoretically impossible). All estimates of development times are wrong, some by more than an order of magnitude.

Personally now-a-days I care more about velocity. If the team can deliver the smallest value added to the system within a week, we are good. The more constant velocity the team has, the more Management trusts you to produce value and get their things done without the need to have massive estimation parties that almost always end up being wrong.

The sad thing is, once the velocity gets bogged up or waving (Org change, contantly changing directions,..) the estimation parties are here to stay and it's quite hard to get back to where the team was.

monkeyshelli··on Helsinki Relocation Package: City as a Service
It took me 4mo to get my old ankle injury that I've had since the teens, to get operated. I was in the lowest priority category and this happened just after Covid-19 hit. I got a quote from a private healthcare provider for the operation for 6000e. In the public one it ended up costing 120e.
monkeyshelli··on Netflix is creating a problem by cancelling TV shows too soon
I've seen Seinfeld so many times that now a days I just tap on the "random" option in VLC when watching it. X-files I've divided to two, MonsterOfTheWeek and "moves plot forward". Then randomly pick from the two buckets.

Don't think there is any "new" series that I've watched over twice, I wonder why that is.

monkeyshelli··on WordPressiOS Locked by App Store
> My next device will probably be a Pine Phone.

As a long time iPhone user I'm on the same boat. I do hope there will be a somewhat beta level Pine Phone soon. I'm already thinking should I get my old Nokia n900 from the storage box and start using that. Not comfortable with Androids and the latest Apple actions are making me feel a bit unsure on the direction they are taking.

monkeyshelli··on MacBook Pro Keyboard Drives Me Crazy
I feel you. I have the 15" mb pro at work and the only place I can use it is at my desk (with external trackpad+keyboard). The massive touchpad is driving me crazy to a point I don't want to even carry the damn thing around.
monkeyshelli··on Alternate Day Fasting Improves Physiological and Molecular Markers of Aging [pdf]
Around my 30s I was quite overweight ~310lbs/140kg. Had done some stronglifts 5x5 and then decide to incorporate Keto into the mix (later targeted keto + IF). In the course of few years went down to ~230lbs/105kg while my lifts all went up (e.q squats from around 375lbs/170kg --> 460/210kg). At least my personal "gut feeling" is that I gained some muscle mass (my priority was to drop weight/fat).

For the past year, as an experiment, I've eaten carbs "normally" while doing 4x week gym. Few things I've noticed. My gut doesn't feel as good as it did while keto/IF, when you are in Keto and eat a cup of oatmeal ~45min before gym and start lifting you have this insane focus for the heavy 1-3 reps, I can seem to tolerate more better quality volume now compared to while doing keto/IF. But the overall feeling I have outside of the gym while not being in Keto/IF is a bit "sad", so most likely I'll start doing Keto/IF again to feel better. It's funny how insanely sweet strawberries taste while in Keto, and I kinda miss that feeling.

Maybe it would be a good time to unionize more to have bigger hammer to fight with..

That sounds pretty damn nice - would you happen to have a good link in mind for reading more on the subject?
monkeyshelli··on Show HN: Arduino Full Stack Tutorial – Deploying a React App on the ESP32
> Patiently wait while the script downloads half of the internet.

This made me giggle little bit :)

On a side note, I personally like the "commit diffs as instructions", but someone with no version control experience might feel a bit different.

Do you happen to have a link - sounds pretty cool if that will work.

You can query Bittrex for some data, or you can find some data and a script from here https://github.com/gcarq/freqtrade/tree/master/freqtrade/tes...

Couldn't you bake the fee into the application logic e.g. https://github.com/gcarq/freqtrade/blob/master/freqtrade/mai...

monkeyshelli··on “I have toyota corola”
Someone living in Finland (Europe) I always would take the third comment over the first one. In the first one, someone passive-aggressively orders me to finish fixing my stuff today. What if the fix is complicated and takes a week?

To me "fix up your shit NOW" is more open-ended, and if the fix takes me a week then that's perfectly fine.
