Not a direct answer, but I highly recommend reading Outlive, by Peter Attia. It's completely changed the way I think about these things. And it's actually grounded in science.

When you're a government, you need a little more process to ensure things are done well (moderation, security, ...). Even something simple like that could take valuable time from quite a few people.

Sad but unfortunately fairly justified. Hard to justify spending public money on 3,500 users.

 

AliExpress can offer great deals, but it's also very easy to get scammed, receive a cheap knock-off, or even end up with nothing at all. The search engine isn't very helpful, often mixing reputable merchants with sketchy ones and real products with junk.

So far, I've found the AliUp extension, which seems fairly helpful. I wish there were third-party websites with independent reviews, but I haven't found anything truly helpful or comprehensive yet.

So, what are your tips for buying on AliExpress or similar platforms?

I use World Poker. Not FOSS, unfortunately.

No 😁

It's just a funny video from LinkedIn or TikTok

 

Can you help me find a video of a man who pretends to help a woman with her two bottles of wine, but leaves her in a terrible position? The woman ends up with her hands stuck in a gate, and she can't free them without dropping the bottles.

Thank you!

Lisp is the only one I haven't learned yet 😁

Rust, haskell, python, c++ are all interesting choices. I would argue that c# is too close to what you already know to be interesting.

If I were you though, I'd pick a project first, then decide what language makes sense for it.

It seems like a lot of people think Palestine needs to do stuff but Israel doesn’t. I’m not sure if it’s a double standard, racism, Israeli exceptionalism or what.

In my case, it's none of that. It's your question: "how can Palestine gain its freedom".

Now let's be crazy for a moment and imagine that both sides collaborate to fix the issue. I think it would be mostly the same for Israel: get rid of the lunatics, realize that Palestinians are fairly close relatives, work on forgiveness on both sides, and work on a fair two-state solution or even better a single-state solution.

Here's my take on it:

  1. Get rid of all extremists and violent factions internally (extremely hard, of course).
  2. Engage in intense diplomatic lobbying, and be patient. If step 1) has been achieved, I think it would be extremely hard for Israel to resist the pressure, but maybe I'm too naive. Right now, it's extremely easy to dismiss the Palestinian cause because of terrorism. What happened at the beginning of the conflict isn't going to help.

WHAT? Where is the next one planned to take place?

Usain bolt, to some extent

 

Hi,

Yesterday I stumbled on this very interesting story, which describes the horrible mess patients have to deal with in order to get into clinical trials: https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/please-be-dying-but-not-too-quickly.

I wanted to share it on Lemmy, but I couldn't think of the right community. Any insight? I feel this is relevant to a fairly broad audience.

 

I have an extender already, but it's a cheap one and bandwidth sucks. Any success stories?

Edit: Thanks all for your replies!
