Because ergonomics is largely pseudo science. Everyone’s body is different. I actually developed RSI for the first time using a kinesis advantage because it forced a certain posture that doesn’t work well with my long arms.
For me the best position is to move my non split keyboard fairly deep into the desk and keep my arms relatively straight. In my 40s and no issue with this after decades.
I barely use facebook.com but I don't have this issue at all. I just checked - my news feed is filled with extended family posts, posts in groups I'm in and related things. TFA looks completely alien to me. I guess this is kind of an absurd local maxima you get with algorithms for rarely used accounts.
iOS keyboard is such garbage. Almost a daily pain point for me. But I suffer for the amazing battery life and hardware. Like all Apple kit the software is crap.
Big company syndrome has existed for a long time. It’s almost impossible to innovate or move fast with 8 levels of management and bloated codebases. That’s why startups exist.
Why is it insane? You sound like someone who says to depressed people “just be happy”.
I’m on tirzepatide but not for obesity. It completely cures my life long IBS. These are miracle drugs imo and should be as cheap and widely available as possible.
The part of the population that deals better with our food system want to feel morally superior.
While I am in that part, I realize that having a fairly balanced feeling of hunger is just as much of a privilege as needing glasses to see is a disadvantage. Certainly some people just say fuck it and ballon to 200kg but a lot are just unhappy at 90kg in what should be a 65kg body being hungry every day and still overweight.
Yes if they ate only carrots and Brokkoli they would probably solve their weight problem but it is a hard ask to make in a world that looks like ours. Makes alcoholism look like child’s play since you cannot just abstain from food
When talking about ADHD medication, a doctor asked me why someone would choose not to wear glasses if they could see well with them.
There are some flaws with this argument, but I keep it in mind when I feel like others are "cheating" by getting a good trait that I was born with. We should not insist on people getting things the hard way.
>It improves quality of life, health, reduces risk when surgery is needed,
And as pointed out elsewhere in this thread, needs to be taken forever as the vast majority of patients regain most or all of the weight they lose after taking GLP-1s.
>Why create a new account just to litigate how statistically relevant the grandparent comment's anecdote is?
Red herring. My account was not created today, I’ve participated in numerous other threads prior to this one, and it’s irrelevant to the content of my comment.
Oh well. I'll be taking my omeprazole medication for the rest of my life, too. Sometimes the body has a chronic issue that needs lifetime management, frequently with medication. Only with GLP1 does this suddenly seem like a moral issue for some.
Yeah, I'll be taking minoxidil for my hair forever. And zyrtec for my allergies forever. So it goes. "What if you get lost in a cave system for 30 years? What then?" I guess I'll lose my hair and be sneezing a lot, and gain weight. So it goes. Until then, it doesn't really bother me.
Why is it that people can't seem to grasp that the brain is just as biological as the kidney or pancreas? If your pancreas isn't producing the right chemicals in the right quantities at the right times for normal healthy functioning, of course we need to treat that. But if the brain isn't producing the right chemicals in the right quantities at the right times for normal healthy functioning, then obviously its willpower or laziness or whatever.
Literally no one is saying overweight people are magically defying the laws of physics. Managing weight involves the brain, and the brain is a biological organ that is affected by genetics and the chemical and hormonal signals from other organs in the body. this moralizing about using a drug to lose weight being wrong or lazy or cheating or whatever is no different than people saying depressed people need to just stop being sad or ADHD people need to just pay attention.
The solipsistic idea that because your brain has the ability to do X means that everyone must work the exact same way, therefore if my brain is able to do something everyone else must too. If I can sit down and focus, ADHD must just be lazy and choosing not to. If my feelings of hunger are mild and easy to moderate, overweight people must just be weak willed and gluttonous.
To frame this as trying to argue for basic thermodynamics is such a strawman that my pet crow flew out the window in fear. If you think fat people are lazy and refuse to use willpower, and using a drug is a lazy substitute for mental willpower, then say so and have an honest discussion.
It is pretty simple imo. AI (just like humans!) does best on well written, self contained code bases. Which is a very small niche, but also over represented in open source and subsequently by tech celebrities who tend not to work on “ugly code”.
I work on a giant legacy
code base at big tech, which is one piece of many distributed systems. LLM is helpful for localised, well defined work, but nowhere close to what the TFA describes.
I'm a bit out of date now, but 'go mod vendor' did not in fact vendor all dependencies when I last used it. It seemed more like a CI caching mechanism then actual complete dependency vendoring.
This is not the experience that I have. I use vendoring heavily because it's nice to be able to review all the relevant code changes when Renovatebot updates a dependency [1], and to get a feel for how heavy or lightweight certain dependencies are. If vendoring was incomplete, I would see it trying to download missing dependencies at compile time, but the "go: downloading $MODULE $VERSION" lines only show up when I expect them too, e.g. during "go get -u" or "go mod tidy/vendor".
[1] Before you ask, I'm not reading the full diff on something like x/sys. Mostly on third-party dependencies where I find it harder to judge the reliability of the maintainers.
I'll throw in a +1, afaik vendoring is a complete and reliable solution here.
Go's `mod`-related commands have had quite a large number of breaking changes in behavior through the years, so I won't say it's a stable solution (aside from completely disabling modules, that has always worked fine from my use). I've had to fix build scripts at least once or twice a year due to that, e.g. when they started validating that the vendor folder was unmodified (a very reasonable thing to do, but still breaking). But once that is overcome it has always worked fine.
I went down the rabbithole when I started getting into seasonal Anime watching. Doing that manually is a huge PITA for every show/episode.
Now I just get a pop-up on my phone that Plex has the latest episode. I sit on my couch, hit play on my nvidia shield, and watch on my giant OLED. It's great - and I've been doing this for years now.
Once you go through the initial set up, the UX is fantastic. Far better than anything Netflix, or any commercial provider has ever built.
And for music - Plexamp is an ode to Winamp and is worth it alone. It completely brought me back to the pre-Spotify world of music enjoyment.
Meridian is a great way to see what high quality HDR content should look like. The dark parts of the film are beautiful. A shame the rest of Netflix’s catalogue isn’t the same.
