While I like echarts I have found it somewhat challenging to extend their functionality.

I wanted a Gantt chart and while I did achieve what I wanted it wasn't without having to delve into the their source and putting log statements everywhere.

I happen to be using ant design and I've had the same issues there.

Its a bit all over the place and the translations are not great, but i will stick with it.

Also using Ant Design with eCharts. Having to funnel the designers to not use gradients for all the charts has been fun. While eCharts supports _some_ gradients, it's been a PITA for certain chart types.

I also made the mistake of using Ant Design Pro Forms since I wanted to use the StepForm Wizard component. All of the tsdocs are in Chinese and it's barely documented for more than their example use cases :'}

I wore one, but had some trouble with the glue, by day 8 or so it seemed like it was on the verge of falling off, so I added some medical tape which annoyed my skin.

I suspect these devices will never go beyond 14 days at a time simply because of the glue issue. My skin was also pretty irritated once I removed the device, with some blood where the device sat.

If you chose to wear one, especially in the summer, work very hard at removing all oils from your skin before you apply it. Soap and water (preferably real soap, not SLS), and then alcohol to get everything.

I discovered that my wake/sleep cycle affected my blood sugar as much as, or even more than, what I ate.

I had the same issue with the Stelo tape. There's plenty of aftermarket tapes on amazon that fit the device profiles perfectly.

Check out the Arduino starter kit. This is how I started with electrics. It comes with everything you need including a great book which walks you through everything. Very much worth the money.

Whenever I land on the front page, I check the comments and brace for HN coming and telling me how stupid I am and lighting me aflame in front of my peers.

But sometimes if I manage to nail the right headline, nobody reads my post and just has their own discussion, and I am spared.

Hilarious but realistic take. I've noticed a similar trend with other posts. I'm a fan of the discourse either way tbh.

If you live in a metro area it's really not like that. Prices are higher but my credit card gives me free Uber One, so fees + tip are managable. Plus Uber/Postmates offer (at least for me) extremely aggressive coupons pretty often, 20-40% off. Food arrives in 20-40 minutes. Don't order things that don't travel well (eg: fried food). Order enough that you'll have leftovers and can amortize the delivery cost over multiple meals.

We probably order delivery at least once a week. Usually a big batch of indian, chinese, a ton of tacos/rice/beans, etc. Stuff that keeps well. Then we'll have it for at least 2 meals each. I don't feel like it's that ridiculous honestly.

This right here. I'm in Chicago and this echo's true.

I'd also add that I've almost never needed to interact with the driver in the app. In the case there's a missing item or issue, support sorts it out quick enough.

Fox News is entertainment masquerading as news.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. It was stated in a court case from them that they're entertainment.

I also get such energy from Atlas Shrugged, I don't understand why. I know that the good guys are very carefully crafted, they don't cheat, they don't do things like lobbying to win. They don't compromise on their world view to the extreme. They don't have children, that makes it all easier, but also less real.

Raised christian but feeling burned out by the contradictions, the emptiness of trying to live for others (it's killing for relationships I can tell you), the mental struggle to rationalize all the rules, I too felt that spark. I realize dogmatism is always bad but that voice inside keeps saying: It's not when the theory is perfect! The truth is knowable and can be discovered through reason. How super comforting (and damn that Incompleteness Theorem I learned about later).

I don't know what it is, my hunger for a system? For rules to make sense of the world? Whatever it is, Rand's philosophy remains so appealing. It's probably the reason I started a company, walk into meetings now boldly, with a goal, why I enjoy things now, just to enjoy myself. As a rational, healthy human, there is nothing wrong with that, in contrast to what my upbringing tried to instill in me.

Perhaps that's it, it liberated my from a confining worldview. Perhaps another worldview could have done the same.

Funnily enough, I felt the same energy after reading The Fountainhead by Rand.

It's been over a decade at this point, but I remember Howard Roarks(?) endless ambitious energy was infectious. Sounds like it's time for another read.

What are coupon websites / you can get free coupons from them(?)
thoughtpalette · 5 months ago
retailmenot, etc. There's some pretty dubious ones that come up in search results, e.g. try searching "levis.com coupon codes" or something.

Mickey7 is pretty good if you enjoyed Project Hail Mary. Alternatively, the Murderbot series.

Just finished Mickey7, lot's of fun. I gotta see the movie now.

LOVE the Murderbot series, highly recommend.

> extremely unwelcoming to the point of just banning users for simple game dev questions and/or mentions of AI.

This is understandable when you realize that artist are being accused of using AI for every single imperfection in art now. You messed up on perspective? You must be using AI. Anatomy is slightly off? You must be using AI. At a certain point they just get tired of the accusations and choose to ban people.

I can believe that scenario, but I believe in the cases I've seen regarding game dev, It's more pearl clutching from the artists (rightly so) rather than accusations from the asset users.
