This also happened to me. I interviewed someone from an IT staffing agency. Seemed perfect. A different person showed up for the job, and he knew next to nothing about IT.

https://www.weightwatchers.com works really well. I thought it was just a brand of frozen food, but it's not. You get a set number of "points" each day, which more or less equate to calories. It makes counting calories much, much easier. Worth a look.

Andronico's on Irving St in SF sells Amish butter in a giant roll. I've never tried it though.

Trying magnesium after reading about it on HN comments last year changed my life. Definitely try it. I just use magnesium citrate from Walgreens.

The best coffee substitute I've found is coffee-flavored Postum. It's the one in the red jar. Available from their website or Wal-Mart. I also tried Cafix, but prefer Postum.

This story and headline seems misleading at best, and fake news at worst.

Perhaps you could install it with Windows Sandbox. Low risk.

I first learned of magnesium supplements here on HN. Changed my life after years of sleep problems.

This company sells ThinkPads with pre-installed Linux: https://shop.lacpdx.com/. Presumably they only sell models which work well under Linux.

I first read about magnesium supplements in a random Hacker News comment a year ago. Taking them cured my insomnia. If anyone thinks they might benefit from Mg, I definitely encourage you to do the research.

I struggled with insomnia for about 3 years before finding something which worked for me: magnesium supplements. Learned about them through a random Hacker News comment.

I take magnesium supplements to help with sleep. First read about it on Hacker News 6-12 months ago. Changed my life. My insomnia is not cured, but definitely much better and zero side effects. I tried many different sleeping pills, but they either made me too groggy the next morning or their efficacy lessened over time. Just Magnesium Citrate from Walgreens is what I use.

I wish the NY Times would get back to journalism and not try to boost their webviews with fluff pieces like this.

I agree. This sequence of courses is the best I've found.

How different is the electronic version on princeton.edu from the printed book? I've seen statements about the printed book being more up to date, but I haven't seen specifics.

This was a pretty weak article. Usually The Atlantic packs a powerful punch. This seemed like clickbait.

Apple Music is so underwhelming. I see nothing which differentiates it from so many other music products. It was a little sad to see the word "Revolutionary" projected above the stage. snore

Interesting that they launched first on Android. I wonder if that's because lab managers are expected to use their own phones, and they'll likely have Androids. Or, maybe labs purchase phones for this purpose, and Androids are cheaper. Or, maybe the dev has an Android phone and that's what he or she knows.

Ewan went 99% of the way in making the app. If the only thing holding him back is getting the screenshots right, I'd say he's "so close".

I'd wager that most of Microsoft's app approval team is away the week between Christmas and New Years. If the submission was routed to someone overseas where Christmas isn't as big a deal (so they weren't on vacation), that would explain the miscommunication. I would just resubmit now that presumably everyone is back from vacation.

Apple closes the App Store to new submissions over the holidays. At least Microsoft was open.

I'd be interested in seeing a screenshot of the main menu to see the 3 choices he mentions.

The feedback from the reviewers seems pretty straight-forward and easy to fix. I may have misunderstood something, but I don't see the approval process as being all that burdensome. Judging by the frequency of your blog posts, it looks like you've been hearing back rather quickly. Isn't it a different story on Apple's AppStore? I hear of devs waiting ages to hear back.

Maybe get a good night's sleep, and try again tomorrow. You only have to fix your screenshots, right? You're so close.
