I don’t understand why people are so chill about doing this. I have AI running on a dedicated machine which has absolutely no access to any of my own accounts/data. I want that stuff hardware isolated. The AI pushes up work to a self-hosted Gitea instance using a low-permission account. This setup is also nice because I can determine provenance of changes easily.
To elaborate, I think experts usually use these terms as follows: an addiction is something where you have a continuous and difficult to resist drive to keep doing/using something due to it being inherently rewarding. A dependence is something where if you stop regularly doing/using something you’ll experience some sort of withdrawal.
I knew someone who had exactly that feeling about YouTube. It was a genuine struggle for them to stop even though the amount of time they spent on it was negatively impacting their life and the content was making them more anxious.
Should YouTube be banned then? YouTube provides a lot of value to a lot of people. I've learned a lot of math, physics, history, DIY from it. But it's addictive (to some)
Nobody is arguing for "banning YouTube". But "the algorithm", and many user interface features explicitly designed to keep you going to the next video or down "YouTube rabbit holes", is what this case is about.
And when they used it as a digital identifier to check for the Covid-vaccination status, of course all the wormbrained screamed that "Covid certificate mandate leads to Swedish government microchipping its citizens!'.
All of this is actually happening, and semi-post-ironically joking about it preemptively just to hedge the "well if its happening I was joking ironically" and " of its not happening look how stupid you look"
Just makes you all look like cowardly cattle, which they also refer to us as.
>huge pedo-ring controlling the world's government
Just wait until you realize these pedos are just getting blackmailed into submission and aren't controlling anything but most here probably never will because of the wrong think programming.
Funnily enough the only time I ever got in trouble for torrenting anything was when Cox was my ISP circa 2009. I'd been torrenting some PSP game and my connection went down. When I called the helpline they explained what happened and said they'd restore access once I confirmed I'd deleted the downloaded file.
I was surprised to find out it was largely uncovered, though I guess it probably makes it much cheaper to construct. I usually think of aqueducts as pipes or tunnels, like Persian qanāts. I wonder how much water is lost due to evaporation.
There's some testing to see how covering open irrigation canals with solar panels which would reduce evaporation and generate power
> Their analysis found that putting solar panels over the 4,000 miles of California’s open canals could save up to 63 billion gallons of water annually
> could save up to 63 billion gallons of water annually
To put it into perspective, 63 billion gallons is 193340 acre-feet, which is 0.5% of california's water use (a bit under 40 millions acre-feet). That's a tenth the water consumption of lawns, which is 1/15th the water consumption of agriculture.
Thanks! I forgot that article, but now I remember that I read or skimmed it when it made the rounds last year. It's actually where I first learned that the aqueducts were uncovered!
> If wife and husband are home during her most fertile time window in a cycle, she will instinctively “find him” [...]
Have you known many couples who had trouble trying to conceive? There's a reason fertility monitoring strips, apps, etc. are such a huge market, and it's not because people are trying to avoid pregnancy.
> [...] for some magic moments that may not be particularly planned or even romantic, rather more characterized by a delightful and clumsy urgency.
I guarantee that if you interviewed couples who had been unsuccessfully trying to conceive for a long time a large number of them would strongly disagree with using "delightful" to describe the urgency of sex during the fertility window.
Don’t misunderstand the situation to which I’m narrowly referring:
Man available to the woman effectively around the clock every day, setting majority of the time is private and comfortable enough that sex can just happen, in compressed and sometimes exciting timeframe, i.e. even if busy with WFH and childcare.
I am aware of couples who struggled or are struggling with fertility, and using the various tools and techniques to increase the odds. I am not discounting their experiences and hardships. I am saying that, on average, if more couples of child bearing age are sexually accessible to one another effectively 24/7, then there are natural instincts that can and do play a role in them coming together sexually at the critical time for conceiving a child, and so more children would be conceived.
I worked for five years at a shop where a few years in we started pair programming aggressively. One of our most experienced engineers was really into XP and agile work (in the “purer” meaning of the term). He often suggested pairing when thorny problems came up, and eventually it spread. It often took half or more of the available time for programming each day. That was by far the best working environment I’ve been in. The team was excellent and it seems like we all improved in our skills when we started doing it more. We cut down on how long it took to get in while managing to produce better code. It made planning features and adjusting to unforeseen snags in plans so much quicker. I can’t emphasize enough how much of an impact it made on me as a developer or how much I miss it.
The biggest downside to me was that it forces a level of engagement exceeding the most heads down solo work I’ve done. I’d come home and feel mentally exhausted in a way I didn’t usually.
Exactly. I said this elsewhere in here, but I’ve felt extremely lucky that for the last 13 years I’ve gotten paid to do something that would otherwise have to be a hobby. The problem is that I have other hobbies already and am a parent with limited time to devote to such things in the first place. It’s valid to miss things you were extremely lucky to have in the first place.
