It's good to hear I'm not the only one with the eye contact thing — I also noticed about myself that if I'm looking in another person's eyes, it means their words aren't really registering in my head. This also came

There's an old meme tweet that goes like this: > the fact that i'm at risk of seeing a 14 year old's opinion at any point during my day is a human rights violation This always strongly resonated with me; if something was w

Sardines specifically, because they are small, and therefore have amassed less mercury than the other commonly eaten fatty fish. Plus because they're eaten whole, you also get bonus stuff like calcium and phosphorus from the bones.

Wow, thanks, I'm cured. Before giving out asinine advice like "just relax and let the life go its way", you may want to consider if doing that was an option, the person would have done it already. It's the equivalent of

It is not "beyond obvious" that a cat cannot have copyright, given the lawsuit about a monkey holding copyright [1], and the way PETA tried to used that case as precedent to establish that any animal can hold copyright. [1] https

That was a false lead, where Claude was investigating the wrong event. There's a yellow note on the side of interaction #1 pointing it out, and it's made even more clear if you fully read interactions #5 and #6.

That reminds me of the handwriting recognition approach [1] used in old Palm Pilot devices. Even though the shapes it expected you to draw resembled the corresponding letters, you would never draw them like that if you were writing on paper

Those other routes aren't in Sydney, though. Regional bus route numbers sometimes overlap with Sydney route numbers.

I definitely don't find myself complaining about them as I much as did 10 years ago. Back then, one of my local bus stops in Newtown had "what is the point of this?" written in marker over the timetable, and everyone who saw

There isn't much there to liquidate that still has any worth. They didn't have significant holdings of any of the major assets. That's kind of the main reason they were insolvent.

A timestamp doesn't require TZ data because the timezone of the unix epoch is defined in UTC. To convert a timestamp into a meaningful datetime value, we need a timezone, otherwise there is loss of information. The main issue is that .

by Aramgutang 4y ago
I was familiar with the issue described, but it was useful to learn the shortcut of passing a timezone to `now()`, since I used to rely on `utcnow().replace()`, which was needlessly verbose. # what I used to do: >>> datet

It's doubly curious that there hasn't been a recent resurgence. I'd expect that the WFH trend would be making it more practical and sustainable for many. During polyphasic experiments in my youth, my biggest obstacle was alwa

There are so many clever ways to code honeypots using obscure peculiarities of Solidity and/or Etherscan that there's little hope of being sure that it isn't a scam just by looking at the code and transaction history. Fortuna

The author of the article, Robert Miller, is a leading authority on MEV (Miner/Maximum Extractable Value). Those involved in MEV are quite a different bunch from most of the crypto crowd. For one, they don't rely on "number g

That is a viable possibility, yes. You wouldn't need a "much larger fee" though, just 120% of the other transaction's fee would be enough to secure prioritisation over it.

My anecdotal experience was also that corporal punishment worked ... until I grew too old for it. Having spent my formative years being motivated by avoiding beatings, rather than seeking praise, made it very difficult to adjust to adulthoo

Ritalin displays no significant activity on 5HT receptors, in contrast to dexamphetamine, which does have significant serotogenic effects. Yes, they are not related, but both are taken for their dopaminergic effects, though they achieve thi

That example can also be tackled with Python's little-known feature of calling the built-in `iter` with a second argument: > for line in iter(f.readline, ''): > ... # process line See: https://docs.python.org

The notion that dietary cholesterol affects blood cholesterol is outdated, and is not supported by evidence (with some exceptions, e.g. for diabetics). Modern nutrition advisories no longer recommend limiting cholesterol intake. Not OP, but

That sentence was presented clearly as a quote from the MongoDB CEO, and followed immediately by "[t]hat’s a pretty feisty comment." I don't entirely disagree with your overall assessment, but it could just be a case of click

Clothing isn't the only option to stay cooler in a warm environment. Drinking water is quite effective. Just plain tap water is cool enough, but if you want to drink smaller amounts, there's always chilled water in the fridge or i

Yes, wash trading is bad. But crypto was created to escape regulation, which comes with the good and the bad. "Go back to fiat if you want regulation" is a common mindset, though the idealists are being displaced by new entrants i

The issue is that CryptoCompare maps "POLY" to PolyBit, and not to Polymath, which is the generally accepted mapping (there is no authority to officially define such mappings). So you were in fact looking at some ancient mostly de

Agree, which is why I said "near-equivalent". For example if your partner has a chronic illness, you can never say you felt their pain, but you can say you know what it's like to live with it. You felt the impact of the illne

In many contexts, that's what privilege is: the advantages bestowed to you at birth as a result of what others who are like you in some way (nationality, skin colour, gender) did in the past. The privileges of having Swedish nationalit
