For me the checklist would be:

1. Sleep quality 2. Nutrition quality 3. Exercise 4. Lifestyle

First make sure that all the above is in check.


At some point the search filed stooped searching. It is something like:

* Here is the most popular results that are slightly relevant to your query. E.g. African war lord will pull up a gamer playing pranks on other gamers.

* Then, we give up. Here is some unrelated videos we hope will distract you searching what you are looking for.

Is this what tech should look like? Search has been purposely broken.


What about taking the ore to sea level and doing the process there. It's downhill.

This is the greatest flaw in markets. It's said that markets compute the right values for trade goods. But it should be qualified to: Value now (or in the short term).

In any specific moment value has certain dispersion due to multiple factors. The uncertainty of value in the future is huge because those factors compound.

My point is that I believe markes only work in the short term. For long term planning (~one huamn lifetime, a civilization life time) markets don't work.


Markets are a function of the political regimes within which they operate. They depend on the existence of money, freedom of movement, reasonable taxation, and private property—and a certain level of protection from theft and violence—all of which are features a well-functioning state.

Often markets also depend on standardization and regulation that can only be enforced by governments.

If the markets that exist today fail to take into consideration the true societal costs of their operation—if there is no accounting for future costs—that is not a failure of markets in general, but of the current political regime.


You make an interesting point but the same problem is now on the hands of the political regime(hopefully a wide segment of society) to decide the value of things.


The way the lithium brine is extracted from the ground is by pumping water down, allowing the lithium brine to dissolve in the water, and pumping it back to the surface.


Markets are shaped by the cultural, institutional, and legal frameworks. Markets reflect these values


But should apple we liable when they, or any other organization making such claims, inevitably fail to protect their users?

I think their should.


How do you propose to do that without disincentivizing the addition of such features? Even NASA has software failures.


I found reading books, like novels, helps to build the necessary skills to chain complex ideas together in "real time".


Upvoted for creativity in offering a fun recreational option. Do folks have others to suggest?


This seems like the more ethical approach with regards to giving credit to the original author.

I've seen projects (on GitHub, won't call them out) get bad reputation when the maintainer implements code previously submitted as a PR.


> won't call them out

I will. vim/vim has been doing this for years, with Bram basically ignoring the whole point of GitHub, and putting his name on every commit. I love Vim, but that's not acceptable.


Conversely I think that's fine. There's no obligation to accept every PR as-is. Ultimately Bram volunteers to be responsible for supporting the project, so he can do whatever he wants.

I don't understand how this is the whole point of GitHub. I feel like GitHub has exacerbated misguided expectations that every contribution is worthy and that being rejected should feel bad.


The entire point of github is collaboration. If you're going to take others people code, you should at least attribute them. If you look at neovim where I imagine most serious vim users myself included have migrated to, you can see the projects first order of business:

Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions

One project has 700+ contributors, the other is less than 120. So no, it's not looking "fine" from a user perspective.


At least he should give credit to the original author.

Not aware there would be a standardized header for that, but you can always invent your own ones.

   Original-idea-from: a b <a.b@c.com>


There is "Co-authored-by" which is supported on GitHub [1] and seems appropriate if the maintainer is basing the solution on someone's code.

I'm no historian, but I really enjoy this podcast.

I feel a bit of guilt knowing that a whole civilization had to fall to produce each of these episodes. This is really expensive to produce!


DRM doesn't work in games, go to a torrent site to see all the failed attempts.

    1. It costs money
    2. It makes the product worse(slower, less portable,etc...) for your _ paying _ customers.
    3. It doesn't work if the game is good.
Just add a copyright note on the corner and make sure to have good distribution.


Denuvo has been very successful at protecting games in the launch window the past couple years. Last I heard there was only one person willing and/or able to crack it and their throughput wasn't high.


As others have mentioned it’s probably only helpful on release date or the first weeks.

Ideally it should just automatically expired after x amount of time.


It works to boost preorders and the crucial first week to get into sales charts.


I don't think that's the best way to use Optional in java. In particular the use of isPresent & get kind of defeats the purpose. Should be something along the lines :

   ...
   sum = 0
   opt = getOptional(n)
   sum = sum + opt.orElse(0);
   ...
Also maybe use something like OptionalInt (but for long).


That dashboard was gold. RIP.
