My main gripe with Discord is the somewhat ephemeral nature of it, due to the search being horrible, as well as not publicly indexed nor easily accessible without an account + an invite to a specific server.


Discord becoming the main replacement to subreddits/forums has been a harder blow to the collection of knowledge than most anything else.

The nice thing is the Discord API doesn’t seem to ban you for archiving servers as long as you do so responsibly.


The blue tint disrupts your sleep cycle and helps keep you awake when driving at night. There's definitely a trade off to be had depending on where these lights are located though.


Red is also really low contrast, at least at non-night-vision destroying lumen levels.


It's not really the "blue" part. It's the "forcing yourself to be awake when you shouldn't be" part that disrupts your sleep cycle. Driving at night when you should be in bed is so much more the problem than whatever color the light is. For you as human at least =)


That's the point -- the blue is to help break the cycle further and keep you awake, when your body insists otherwise!


I think OP is saying you are in the wrong for being awake during the night.


I'm pretty thankful that firefighters, paramedics and the police choose to break their night-cycle for me.


I'm very thankful that street lighting is helping to keep drivers awake.


says what evidence? it's pretty much been debunked for a long time, and the whole premise is apparently based on bad science. I'm pretty sure i read an article here on hn that showed that this whole blue light scare was based on old science with extremely limited sample sizes and extreme exposure. i tried to link to an article from 2016 that still says that it affects sleep because i hastily read the first part. trying to dig up the article i read seems to be hard, but at least I'm still pretty sure that the science is not settled on the matter at all.

Do you always link to articles supporting your opponents view? (Hint: read the last section of the article)


If you're referring to melatonin then the science really isn't that clear. Most light suppresses melatonin production.

One of the biggest arguments against blue light (specifically) being disruptive is that the sky spectrum in the evening is also blue (so naturally you'd be exposed to it). Modern airliners use blue lights for overnight flights with red lights at "dawn". I suspect screen brightness is more of an issue than any particular colour.


The dynamic range of the eye is confusing for aspects like this.

The amount of blue light you're exposed to from the night sky is trivial. Outdoors on a moonless night is 0.002 lux (of which, my understanding, about half is airglow and fairly blueish).

Compare to a not-too-bright single blue LED in your bedroom, emitting 0.5 lumens. You could spread that over 2000 square feet of surfaces and still have more blue light around than comes from the night sky.


Lux != lumen. Lux is lumen per unit area.


> Lux != lumen. Lux is lumen per unit area.

Yes... that is why I divided by area.

It's kind of sad how many of us end up so impatient over common mistakes that we screw up just as badly in our eagerness to snap at people.

Obviously it's fudged a bit. The LED is not an isotropic emitter, and it's not at the center of a spherical room with perfectly reflective walls.

In practice, I suspect the amount of blue illumination from one dim blue LED in a large bedroom and the night sky are pretty much equal.


Isn't that what they are saying? 0.5 lumen spread out over 2000 sq feet is still more lux than the night sky?


I'm not referring to anything. I just found it hilarious that the guy, to whom I replied, linked an article which contradicted himself.

I have no stance on this. I don't even care. I can sleep well at night.

It is very nice not having to write code from scratch by hand, but I have noticed that by not doing so, my innate familiarity of the code absolutely craters. Making manual changes to the code suddenly becomes a much more tedious and less confident process, and in many cases I am not sure that it's a net benefit (at least in a situation like mine, where there is no oversight and things go straight to prod.)


Same for me. I wonder if this is going to follow a similar pattern that we went through with C vs. Assembly. There was a period where everyone coded in assembly and then C came along but people still hand-coded certain parts of applications in assembly to make them more efficient. Then eventually when C compiler optimizations got good enough and computers got faster, few people bother with assembly.


If it is not doing so already, ask it to comment the code it writes.

Worst case scenario, throw the code back into GPT and ask it to make the changes you want to make.


I bought a Chromebook for $89 in 2014, and I still use it every single day thanks to this guy.


It would be nice if any of these sites had an AR solution that was completely clientside. I can't bring myself to agree to let them store my face + face info for 3 years.


In the past I have put up a curtain around my bed (although originally for other reasons.) Like a homemade canopy bed!


> although originally for other reasons

I dont want to get into too much speculation, but the answer obiviously is building a fort?


What seller has prices that low? I've been looking through and can't find anything near even double that price.


My purchase was back in Feb 2020, maybe prices have gone through the roof? I was mistaken above, that quote was one I didn't end up going with, the one I did buy from was "Shanghai Common Metal Products Co., Ltd.", landed it was $523.52, that was 56m of 2040 and 11m of 2020 for a landed cost of $1 per 128mm length aggregate. Largely they charge by weight, and they cut my pieces to a variety of lengths, that order was 16 different lengths.


IIRC iPhones are supported, you just will only have access to the T-Mobile network. That and having to re-enter APN settings on every system upgrade are the only constraints from what I remember.


Rockstar had already announced that they were working on it back in February.

But animals don't synthesize B12 either, they only store the B12 that they consume. There's no benefit not to just consume it ourselves.


Ruminates like cows produce B12 through their gut bacteria. That's synthesis.

And before you say "that's the bacteria, not them", then we technically digest anything because gut bacteria is essential for digestion. We are gestalt organisms. Always have been.
