I'm sure some can't. I didn't mean to say that, I was just telling how I perceived it. In fact, I warn my Hindu friends against using the Hindu swastika on their cars or on their houses here in the West, just so that they don't confuse people here.

The Hindu swastika is generally red in colour, has serif like font and tilted by 45° (compared to the generally accepted Nazi swastika). I'm sure someone can use it maliciously but as someone who grew up looking at Hindu swastika pretty much everywhere, and much later in my life saw the Nazi swastika, at first glance, I didn't really think they were identical.

Really love this story, while some humans are involved in destroying the planet at the same time there are some other humans who are trying to save another species. If for some reason we manage to destroy ourselves, I am hopeful there would be some life-forms that would survive and still keep our planet an interesting place until the sun devours us all. Thinking of the quote from Jurassic Park - "Life finds a way!"

I hope this drug is safe for all the people consuming it.

That said, as someone who prefers to stay fit the hard way (exercise, sleep and balanced diet) I would never take a drug to stay in shape or for that matter anything else that could be mitigated by lifestyle changes. About 11 years ago I was prescribed hypertension medication, I never went to the pharmacy to pick them up, instead I reduced my weight, started meditation and improved my cardio exercises and my hypertension is under control now. I know eventually I might need the drug (hereditary) but I will delay it as much as humanly possible.

To each their own I guess.

My first ever Linux distro (years ago) was Redhat 7.2. I LOVED it! Eventually working mostly in the corporate (Microsoft dominated) world I lost track of what was going on the Linux world. Few years ago, when I was trying to get out of Microsoft again, a friend recommended Ubuntu, and I hated it. It felt very bloated, then someone else recommended Linux Mint and I never looked back! I would highly recommend trying it out if you are done with Ubuntu, and it also has LTS releases.

So happy that it continues to grow in popularity. Draw is probably their best tool in the suite. Also related, people might be interested in using Xournal (https://xournalpp.github.io/) for PDF manipulations and pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) for general document conversion.

Darmok and Jalad on the ocean!

I use pixel 3 with https://calyxos.org/ as a home phone to play music, record videos, pictures etc. Calyxos is still providing extended support for 4a, but microG doesn't work as well compared to sandboxed google play services on grapheneos (which i use on my 7a). So if google services are not too important go ahead with calyxos.

Hahaha I can't stop laughing... i dont know the validity of the claim, but immediately i thought of the British Museum complaining about theft.

Big fan here, just came to say Happy Physicsing :) and get well soon Diana :). Also happy to see her being discussed on HN.

I hear you, and I somewhat feel the same. However, a workaround would be to save the TOTP secret safely like a password. I have started treating all my TOTP secrets as my secondary passwords.

I agree with your comment. I have never been laid off, and I hope I don't ever do or at least I see the signs early on to be prepared.

The way I see "work" is that you are going to spend 8hrs of your day doing it, so you better feel positive about it and enjoy it. I couldn't care less about the corporate lords and I very well know I am just a line on an excel, but when I work I want to be sure I feel satisfied, I enjoy it and build trust with my team and meaningful relationships where possible.

I am not a religious person, but there is a famous saying in Hinduism - कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन | मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि|| It roughly translates to "You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction."

I love the last line of it where it says "don't be attached to inaction" which means just because the fruit of labour isn't in your control, doesn't mean you can just start behaving like a someone who doesn't care.

Incidentally a friend just shared this with me earlier today : https://www.thetruesize.com/

Very cool! I interacted with the first few pages and I am going to share this with my friends so they can learn how to avoid the dark patterns.

That cracked me up!

A lot of comments talking about having kids for purpose, so I thought I'd add mine. I don't have kids and when I compare myself to other friends that have kids I can see how having kids can add purpose (to some extent).

That said, personally I have found immense purpose in life by having a dog. My dog not only makes me happy he teaches me that it is okay to do mundane things in life everyday and still feel extremely happy and satisfied. Each day I look at him and I thank him for being there, for teaching me how to live life, how to love unconditionally and how to live in the moment. I know it's silly but I'm having tears of joy as I'm typing because he is sleeping right next to me at my work desk. Love you my best friend ever !

The amount of dedication, passion and art is absolutely amazing. It reminds me of https://www.phildragash.com/ where he did a complete audio of the Lord of the Rings book along with music edited from the actual soundtrack. I believe it can still be downloaded from here https://archive.org/details/the-fellowship-of-the-ring_sound...

I felt the same way when I started reducing meat. But then I started substituting it with Whey protein and Greek yogurt, and now I eat meat once in 3 to 4 weeks.

Confirmation bias alert:

About 8 years ago, I deleted all social media precisely because I intuitively felt this way:

>“The misinformation ecosystem is not just driven by user behavior, it’s also driven by algorithms,” he says. “When you engage with misinformation—even in disagreement—you’re actually contributing to the increase of misinformation in the ecosystem because you’re letting the algorithm know that it’s drawing engagement.”

Already out of stock at aliexpress, is there any other place to buy it?

BTW really love the industrial design look. Very retro, although I can see some people being turned off due to it. I am assuming it is metal case.

for a few moments I was thinking "saved millions of dollars from dehydration". The title could be clearer if it said "saved millions of people from dehydration".

I wrote this for myself so it's mostly rambling but figured I'd share in case someone finds it useful.

As an Indian immigrant I had noticed this very early on too. It made me very uncomfortable when some of us would crack jokes in non-English language while there were others around who didn't understand the language. After first few years I stopped working for companies that had mostly Indians in IT. I must say I have been lucky since then to always find a good mix of diverse backgrounds in my team that it has not been a problem.

Did you try https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html? Ever since I found about it a few years ago ISO has been painless.

Great work! That said if we are focusing on the UX, windy.com has got the best weather reporting experience.

Ex: I am almost never interested in "30% chance of shower at 08:00pm" type of forecast. I am more interested in the trend in which the clouds/rains are moving. This helps me figure out which direction I can drive to get the best sunshine or whatever else.

Is there anyone else who is doing it the way windy.com is doing? I really love them, and so far their experience is great (almost no dark UX patterns), that said I would love to see some more competition in this space.

There's quite a bit of cloud cover and rain, I hope they can see it. https://www.windy.com/17.613/121.733?clouds,14.807,123.827,6
