I really enjoyed working with imagemagick back in the day. Really did feel like magic to be able to manipulate custom images dynamically.

Makers rediscovering the joy of hobbies is a thing that I'm all in on and here for.

It’s the units that make it seem unintuitive. 12 days is roughly 0.032 years, and 17 minutes is likewise 0.000032 years. It’s relative to how we were taught to view smaller lengths of time. Of course you could argue measuring time by the ro

Not to downplay the risk, but I reckon it’s human nature to embrace the benefits and ignore the risks.

Both, in a way. In order to be sure it's the skill reducing token usage, you measure it with and without the skill, and then you do that periodically to account for all the other variables. Alternatively, you pick a belief based on pri

Definitely, but it would be silly to say not needing to eat is a luxury. Not starving, perhaps.

I’d be interested to see the data for that claim, since I would imagine a strong correlation between glp use and lower body fat.

I read the introduction as referring to the effects on those regions that gave up their status as members of the empire, rather than what you’re saying.

I wonder how many are like me and just use it as a terminal and changes previewer.

That's what I took away from this as well. Headline is clickbait but at the end of the day there are uses for these instructions.

True, but only a little bit each time you read it.

Have always loved cookingforengineers. We should really just be linking to it directly instead of whatever this “having to scroll through a life story f other people’s tweets” spam is.

That was an explanation of my own views (these days), not a statement about economics.

Interesting. Here it's been pretty much the daily 10-minute storm and not much more. Those numbers you linked would lead me to believe we're trending around last year.

This is how I view it these days as well. I'm fine with running a deficit as long as we're solving real problems at a mix of time horizons. Using public funds to funnel more money to the ultra wealthy is the issue for me as a citi

Yes, that is correct for median wages within a time range.
21.
by mathgeek 1mo ago
Since wages have not kept up with inflation, it’s already factored in as inflation drives the total debt faster. Total debt rising without a corresponding rise in wages means an increase in interest and defaults in general.

Looking for some references on these claims, thanks! What you're saying registers as "makes some sense, but where's the evidence?" to me. I'm not seeing the connection where total lbs of fat is inherently worse than

by mathgeek 1mo ago
Not sure I follow the logic here, but happy to be proven wrong if I'm misunderstanding. It's not intuitive to me that a 300 lb. person at 20% body fat is generally at the same risk as a 200 lb. person at 30% body fat.

People who eat well below their maintenance calories tend to have lower energy levels. That's the most likely explanation.

This was my thought as well. That round watch gif that shows rectangular widgets is painful to look at.

Retirement generally implying “not working” is the disconnect here. For example, a person in poverty who quits their salaried job at 62 and has to go work at Walmart to keep up would be retired for some folks, not for others. Same differenc

Personally I don’t want a world where the government regulates and decides who is allowed to sell phone apps based on safety regulations. That system makes sense for gasoline though. I do want to be able to install phone apps freely though.

Truesight is a spell in D&D that allows you to see the true being behind an illusion or other deception.
