  • Hah not at all! I need to remind myself to hydrate and fuel constantly if I'm doing any sort of exercise.

  • If you're exercising and you drink because you're thirsty, you probably waited too long to hydrate.

  • This type of thing is the nominal purpose of credit scores, I believe. (Whether they're implemented effectively is another story...)

  • Note re: mustard. It is not just an "other flavor," it is also an emulsifier!

    It took me a while before I learned this. Even if you're not going for a mustardy flavor, a little mustard goes a long way in keeping the oil and vinegar from separating. Definitely recommend using some with basically every dressing you make.

  • Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

    --- Richard P. Feynman

    I think the same is true for a lot of folks and self hosting. Sure, having data in our own hands is great, and yes avoiding vendor lock-in is nice. But at the end of the day, it's nice to have computers seem "fun" again.

    At least, that's my perspective.

  • That's what I heard about Chevy's, too.

  • What strings are you referencing here? Is the financial counseling mandatory?

    Not everyone is eligible for this, but that's kind of a different issue.

  • In parts of California you are allowed to ride on the freeway shoulder. AFAIK it's only legal when there is no reasonable alternative.

    I've done it a few times --- it's not ideal, but it's not horrible, mostly because you don't cross on/off ramps (it's just from one exit to the next). In my case I did it because the multi-use path I was planning on using was temporarily closed.

    I have been on a different ride where I crossed on/off ramps (I should have taken a different route!), and that really sucked.

  • Only tangentially related, but it's often accepted that there is no Nobel prize in economics. There is a Nobel memorial prize in economics (link), but as it was set up after Nobel's death it is in a slightly different category.

  • Hobby 1: Ballroom dancing

    No I'm pretty sure Strictly Ballroom is a completely accurate portrayal of ballroom dancing.

  • Whatever you decide for your laptop, I'm a proponent of a barebones off-site setup if you're trying for 3-2-1 backup or similar.

    I use a raspberry pi 3 with a single HD (ZFS) retaining some number of daily/weekly/monthly snapshots. Daily rsync, everything over WireGuard+VPS (TailScale would work too).

  • From our experience in the US, the birth is nothing compared to the financial drain of the other expenses. And at this age, childcare dwarfs all the other child-related expenses.

    We have great insurance and don't rely on family for childcare though, so the math is very very different for someone with "free" familial childcare and no/lousy insurance...

  • Others mentioned virtualization --- I have had issues with COW filesystems (btrfs), as COW does not always play nicely with VM drives (extreme fragmentation and very poor performance).

  • I don't know how compensation works in academic administration, but if there's any vesting going on then you could "take a pay cut" but end up making more due to previous compensation vesting.

    Certainly possible for public companies, but again, unsure if that could be the case for a university president...

  • from stdlib.h import cout

    Wait this looks wrong, shit...

  • Anything can use it, but I think by convention it's used for http on a non-privileged port.

  • Not the "trickle down" that we were promised, but at least this trickle down is real?
