- Comment on When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child 2 days ago:
Right now the only thing I genuinely feel is missing that would increase my happiness, is an exercise routine.
I’ll put in a plug for cycling. You can nerd out over the latest bike gear, restore vintage bikes, or just pay the nice folks at your local bike shop to set you up and focus on the riding, it’s up to you!
You can also ride “unplugged,” or you can measure speed, cadence, heart rate, even power output (if you spend $$$)—again, something for everyone!
Good luck!

That works for linear motion but not for rotation—that requires acceleration (provided by gravity).

- Comment on Feeling that groove 4 weeks ago:
If you can build up intuition around Fourier decomposition I think it gets much easier to understand.
Multiple things going on at the same frequency are indistinguishable (up to a phase). Lots of stuff going on at different frequency can be separated. Light also has frequency (color) and volume (intensity)—it may be more intuitive to conceptualize in this way.

If you search around you might find free ones. Oracle has/had a free tier (though it’s Oracle, so…).
- Comment on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues 5 weeks ago:
Yes, but you can run multiple VPS, from different providers, simultaneously.
What I like is that while it does depend on an external provider, it doesn’t depend on a specific external provider. Any VPS with a public IPv4 would work.
- Comment on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues 5 weeks ago:
VPS+VPN, this is what I do.
VPS has public IP and runs WireGuard “server”* and a reverse proxy (and fail2ban…). Reverse proxy points to my home computer over the WireGuard link. No open ports on my home router.
For private facing/LAN-only services I just don’t have an entry in the VPS reverse proxy. DNS on the router points everything to my local server, so if at home I access everything directly. To access internal services remotely requires VPN (i.e., WireGuard to the VPS).
Works well; I have a tiny free tier VPS but even so, no complaints.
*Yes I know there are no wg clients or servers, only peers, but it plays a server-likr role.

When the son of the deposed King of Nigeria emails you directly asking for help, you help. His father ran the freaking country, okay?

In an otherwise healthy person with no other symptoms, there is no significant medical concern.

Why are fruit special though? Leaves and roots are also part of a plant, so why would a tomato not be a vegetable, but lettuce (leaf) and carrot (root) get exemptions?
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 2 months ago:
What exactly is a vegetable, by your definition?
As others point out, vegetable is a culinary term; fruit is a botanical and culinary term.

The think the objection is that this is specifically targeted at women, and it’s something that someone might be self conscious about.
“Free coffee to shortest/tallest/skinniest/fattest man” would be also be offensive IMHO, because it’s singling out people for a trait for which they maybe don’t want to be singled out.
Crude humor is great, if all parties are in on the joke; I believe the point that parent was making was that all parties are not necessarily in on the joke.

Maybe in the before times, but with the LA residents’ response to the fascist in chief, I think most of us in San Francisco are honored to share the state, and be confused with, Angelenos.
Just keep the Dodger’s in SoCal. This is the Giants’ city.

California doesn’t allow “use it or lose it” vacation policies. Vacation rolls over up to a reasonable amount, which apparently isn’t super well defined, but my employers have generally set a limit of 2x annual.

Because it’s not an X at the end, it’s a Greek chi. Same with the arXiv preprint distribution — it’s “archive,” not are-ex-iv.

Are you referring to getting, I dunno, yogurt in places outside the digestive tract?
My understanding was that gut bacteria play a pretty crucial (beneficial) role in overall health, not to mention the whole gut-brain stuff.

Pretty sure those “horrible little scalawags” play some pretty crucial roles in the human microbiome…
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 5 months ago:
Or just a San Francisco resident — these ads are everywhere on BART (+Muni?) right now. (As far as ads go, they’re pretty good I guess — and no, I don’t even use them, much less work for them.)
