Vue is great. I loved the old Options API and was resistant to the new setup/composables way of doing things. But as soon as I tried the new way I loved it. I think it will scale much better as well.

bushwald commented on The flip-flop on whether alcohol is good for you (2023) slate.com/technology/2023... · Posted by u/nickwritesit
In my lifetime virtually everything that was once good for you (wine, high grain diet, non-fat foods) is now a bad and vice versa (eggs, high fat - low carb foods).
And articles like this one have been appearing in some variation my entire life. My take away, long ago, is that nutrition is fundamentally complex and poorly understood topic and any extreme opinions are likely to be inverted.
On the topic of alcohol, one things that has really become clear to me, is how directly tied to my environment drinking is. I've always liked to have a beer with dinner, but whether or not that was my only drink or one of many has much less to do with my personal decisions and much more to do with my environment, and I've noticed the same goes for most people.
Many of us became pretty serious drinkers during the pandemic. As it eased up I never made the decision to drink less, I just naturally drank less.
Point being is that no only am I skeptical of the claims of what I should and should not consume, I'm skeptical of entirely how much agency I have to change what I should consume baring case where the impact is immediate.
The agricultural lobby sold us things like the food pyramid which said eat more grain, for example. I think people have become more conscious of such manipulation and so things have turned around. Unfortunately, capital, as always, has figured out how to co-opt the change in attitudes as well as weird Internet fad diets (e.g., gluten free) to keep people buying from the middle of the store.

Have you found syncthing to cause any noticeable drain your battery? Also, does it handle merge conflicts well?
I haven't noticed a significant battery drain. I charge my one year old phone once a day. Merge conflicts aren't too bad, although I don't encounter them often. When there's a conflict there is a file for each version and it's easy enough to resolve.

I'm excited about Unison as a language so I'm glad to see something that will hopefully give it some additional forward momentum

Hasn't threads hit over 100m? Even if 90% just signed up to check it out and never use it again, that's a lot. And it was rushed out because twitter was busy shooting itself in the foot.
I'm not sure how mastodon people are so bullish on it. It's like they never sat a normal person down and asked them to try going from 0 to 'tooting'.
Why does it need to compete with tech giants for people to be enthusiastic about it?
Having an organic community is good for longevity if not massive short term adoption.
For the curious, I think this is what pg is referring to: https://valleywag.gawker.com/paul-graham-says-women-havent-b... (so glad that “news site” is dead BTW). He made some Summers-like foray on female founder’s abilities, I remember it was a big deal at the time, now I don’t know if many people remember it (note to self about any moral battle du jour that seem so important). I have no data to back this up but always thought that this brouhaha was a big reason pg moved on from YC, not that he was ousted or anything, but didn’t want to deal with this crowd. Jessica Livingstone got embroiled, too.
Here’s a more recent, gossipy take: https://news.yahoo.com/y-combinator-entrepreneurs-were-kicke...
Wow. Now I really don't understand the cult-like reverence for PG on here. That he begins his post about Livingstone by referring to her as the "mom" of YC corroborates the Gawker piece in my mind.
Yeah, how about no. Parent your kids to balance their screen time, and please keep them off social media as long as possible (or very supervised).
But pledges like this are ridiculous, and remind me of how parents in the 80s thought the C64 or NES was going to rot kids brains, just like TV in the 70s.
There was an insurrection a couple of years ago because people raised on too much TV got riled up by the Internet on their phones. TV and phones are a destructive force (regardless of political affiliation).
