The implication is mostly straightforward in abstract: the body has a limited ability to manage blood sugar, and when it's imbalanced other symptoms develop. In the short term this may just mean finishing a meal and being unable to focus for the next hour, longer term it might develop into something more impactful like diabetes. The specific pathways of this response and how they lead to specific symptoms are what isn't known by the science.

But it's analogous to most everything else about the body: we can't concentrate a lot of strong signals like temperature changes or physical exertion into a short timeframe and expect to stay in homeostasis. If you overdo it, that's when the problems start.
Apple has sold about 90 million of these things.

At 600 it is far more likely people have just noticed they have tinnitus or have had damage from some other exposure.

For instance I have tinnitus and it also flares up due to my jaw clenching issues. I suspected my AirPods at one point as I'm a heavy user of ANC devices and struggle with city noise (I wear them a lot even at home). My specialist basically said it wasn't the issue and to see a physio-therapist and sort your jaw. My hearing tests also came back perfectly fine.
I think you're getting at a bigger issue of personal freedom vs rigid social structure. Personally, I don't think there's any simple right answer to where that balance lies. If nobody had to work, they'd enjoy some benefits of freedom but suffer psychological problems due to feeling useless and become violent like you say. At the other extreme, if we were all slaves, it would be unpleasant too. This extends into many areas - e.g.

Religious rituals - compelled or optional? If optional, self-excluding people lose the support and feeling of being part of something bigger and also lose the opportunity to join if they can't make themselves believe.

Education - compulsory to train children to grow into productive workers or freedom for children to enjoy their childhood even if it means lacking usefulness and discipline as an adult who then becomes useless and suffers emotionally?

Clearly separated gender roles - too separate is bad for people who don't fit well into either but too ambiguous may have consequences for family stability and thus the emotional wellbeing of children and stability of the society.

One culture or multiculturism - a common culture helps people function cooperatively and multiple cultures divides people and creates conflict. But a single culture can be harmful to people who it treats badly and they have no other option. I should clarify here that multiculturism in the west seems fairly harmless because it's neutered - minority cultures still have to bend to the laws of the dominant culture. If they had their own laws, the division would be greater but so would the benefits to misfits.

There doesn't have to be a conspiracy theory or derogatory label for these things. Societies try to figure out ways to operate that balance the tradeoffs.
Matasano pays no attention to university degrees at all.
I believe OP was pointing out an issue with the marketing... just copy a language as simple as Lua, but that feels natural to someone with an OOP background (or something similar) to your first bullet point!

Edit: looks like your original comment made it through, and this repeat may best be deleted. Keep up the good work.
Ooh that's nice
Great summary- thank you I will give it a go.
I deleted it because I forgot the water leaking out, but here's the original comment because it might be interesting.

"If I've understood everything correctly, it can't be as bad as the Chernobyl disaster. The only reason to why the radioactive material spread so far during the Chernobyl disaster was because the reactor core consisted of graphite, the graphite caught fire, and the dangerous material rose to the sky."

@jjsz The text is the same. What happened was that I deleted the comment before I saw that someone replied to it, and then it looked stupid with a good reply to a deleted comment.

That's largely opinion: are byte ranges really better than having to maintain clusters of related images? Any serious site already has to deal with things like cache invalidation when a source file changes and by the scale of things which sites do for performance this is certainly no worse than, say, JavaScript/CSS minification or UA sniffing.

But would Twilio really be the right choice to offer this kind of service? I know they make your life easier but this could be done elsewhere for much, much cheaper.

On that note, have you thought about a switch of service in the future for your Appointment Reminder service? I'm sure it's nice to not have certain problems they take care of at this stage but down the road you could cut your costs down to a third (or less) of Twilio.

(I ask because I'm contemplating some ideas that could make use of telephony services and I respect your opinion.)
Spot on. I came here to say just this. Dev branch or not, there is no way he could have missed this. I don't know how you can better advertise a limitation than this. Maybe he didn't realize he was on a 32-bit box. Maybe he didn't pay attention to how much data he would be using.

If you want to use Mongo for something serious, make sure you're on a 64-bit box. Memory-mapped file I/O is an important part of what makes Mongo so fast and attractive, but it has obvious limitations on a 32-bit box.
It's a brutal limitation if you're expecting MongoDB to be "MySQL, except with more awesome because it's new and shiny!", sure, but once you read the blog post, it's quite apparent why - memory-mapped files are blisteringly fast, and raw speed at the cost of other features (like relational constraints, transactions, and single-server durability) is a part of the MongoDB setup. If those are acceptable sacrifices, then great, enjoy a wicked fast data store. If they're not, then it's not the tool for you, no matter how much the cool kids chat it up.
This looks like a game of telephone. WSJ summarized a few research firms and paraphrased cable providers. Then, Gizmodo puts two images next to each other, throws in the word correlation, and acts as if it is a scientific study. If you follow this to the sources, it simply says that there was a decline in subscription for some reason. No data was given about cost of plans, so we do not even know that people are overall spending less money.

Holy crap. Doesn't Apple drug-test their employees?

Decisions like this make me think they don't use their own products, which I know very well isn't true. Just plain weird.

> One word: hunt.

I know you're probably expecting me to be outraged or something, but I don't have an ethical issue with someone killing an animal painlessly to eat -- it's a vast improvement from life on a factory farm!

One problem is, of course, the painlessly part; I would (and should) feel guilty when, inevitably, I miss my shot and don't manage to kill the animal straight away.
Thanks for the answers. I wasn't disputing your opinion, I just wanted to know your experience differed so much from mine. De gustibus non est disputandum.

It seems the main point of difference is that you found the meandering digressions annoying whereas I really enjoyed them. For me, understanding the topics (computation, recursion, use/mention, self-reference) wasn't the main reason for reading the book. The blurring of form and function in the writing and general playfulness were just as important and anything but boring.

PG, Feynman, and _why are useful points of reference. I like all three but recognise how different the latter one is to the former two. A similar distinction would be between Coetzee (precision) vs. Wallace (verbosity). I strenuously suggest you avoid Wallace even though I think both authors are amazing. :) Having enjoyed Wallace's non-fiction book on infinity, "Everything and More", I recommended it to a work mate (also a programmer) and he hated it. Upon reflection, I think he has similar tastes to you and would probably not like GEB either.

Out of interest, what style of fiction (if any) do you enjoy?
If the point of college is to learn rather than to simply get a degree, then after you do you work, you should check it, to see if you got it right, and if you failed, try again.

So, he doesn't want students to check their work, eh? After that first assignment, I'd cheat by every method I could possibly think of at every opportunity, because at this point, he has made it about grades, rather than about education.

The only time you can't go back and re-work and check the internet for help is during a test. You're SUPPOSED to look things up with homework, homework is for learning before a test. After all, the whole point of homework is to prepare yourself for a test, if you don't do the homework, if you just copy the answers, you won't be ready for the test. So what exactly is he achieving by not letting students get the maximum value out of homework?
To be fair, going from a less syntactically rich syntax to an almost complete superset of it isn't too hard. Yet, to draw from that the conclusion that javascript, or any other modern language of that family is pretty much the same seems like too much of a stretch to me. I just don't buy the argument that "oh, pretty much no one uses the new syntax" invalidates it.

One usually doesn't go around designing features around what an idiot would use. And to ignore a feature on that exact point, I think, completely misses how much modern compilers can do for you. I'd very much like to see converting something that uses yield[ 0] to generate collections in C#, or handling variable capture and anonymous functions to, say, C, by just twiddling around with the syntax.

[0] : I have working lazy evaluated collections in C++, complete with state machine generating code. It is not, by any stretch of the imagination, pretty to implement. However, being able to say - naturals()->Map([](int x) { return 2 * x; })->Take(N); - can be pretty satisfying.

The very premise of this article is totally ridiculous.

The beauty of the internet is that you can easily share vast amounts of digitized information with anyone without having to be in the same place.

Not that it's governed by X or Y. And the IGF doesn't govern it anyway.

In the end this forum is a total joke anyway, a pointless waste of money, much like many parts of the UN from which it stems. Any actual decisions are made elsewhere.

And even if it did matter why should we support a bunch of companies and academics taking part in this sort of thing? Who elected them? What if it were Zynga sitting on this committee instead of Google? Would anyone be outraged at their departure?

> So, can you, say, connect your mobile phone or your digital camcorder and view and edit the files to send an edited version to your grandmother in a Fedora Linux without fiddling?

I have no idea; as that's not a use-case I care about. I don't claim that Fedora Linux is suitable for everybody or every use-case, mind you. But as a developer, who spends most of his time writing code, listening to music, watching stuff on Youtube, random net surfing, or editing documents of some sort, it does "just work."

Not really for a developer. The only thing that 'just works' compared to Ubuntu is that Emacs is installed in the default configuration. Ubuntu is what enables me to quickly resolve random annoyances and just work.
The main point being that you have less control over the internals of a laptop than you do on a desktop. So make sure all the internals "just work". Then you can do your own homework on externals.
They talk about maintaining Python, which includes things like preparing and managing releases. Why would you need more than a few people to do that? The core language itself also evolves at a slow pace (which is good), it's not that there are tons of new features every year that get merged into the codebase, so a few FTEs is probably adequate to handle that kind of work.

Considering the larger Python ecosystem the community does a lot of the work, so saying there are only two people working full-time on Python is quite misleading IMHO, as Python has probably one of the largest communities in the world for a programming language, the Github repo alone lists almost 1.500 contributors.
I've read the page three times over and i still have no idea what exactly this is.

Are the animation companies profiting wildly?

> They typically pay animation studios a set fee and reserve royalties for themselves.

> While the system protects the studios from the risk of a flop, it also cuts them out of the windfalls created by hits.
> Supply and demand. It's disappointing I'm not surprised by the profound ignorance of this article at what used to be a prestigious organization.

Was it also supply and demand when a bunch of silicon valley corporations decided to keep salaries low with secret agreements?
Yes and no. Bear in mind, a large part of a Windows SID is a namespace - the actual id within that namespace is so far without exception under 32-bits. An entire Active Directory domain (read: single domain, not forest) is actually limited to 2^30 RID's being issued - after which no new accounts (including computer accounts) can be created, period. You can technically unlock an extra bit and issue 2^31 RID's starting with WS2012, but compatibility is a potential issue and MS's documentation says you should only use it while planning a migration to a new domain (and for good reason).

This does technically give Windows some advantage here as SID's are namespaced - you can have multiple domains in a forest, domain trusts, etc - but I don't think as far as realistic number of users accessing a network it makes much of a difference.

Where it does suck on Linux, however, is user namespaces. 32-bits is a lot when it comes to just giving out accounts, but it's nowhere near enough to give every user a 16-bit chunk of accounts for mapping the traditional 0-65535 (because nobody) ranges for use with unprivileged user namespaces. I'd really like to see a push for 64-bit uid/gid's for this reason.
Why does an init system need a boot loader specification? Systemd keeps on adding things that I wouldn't have thought was needed by an init system?
My son used to use \ for dates when he was learning to write; to the point I wondered if he was somewhere above 0 on the dyslexia scale. He's 20 now, and I think has grown out of it.
They had to announce something because what they announced last time had lost all credibility and was clearly not happening.

If this is indication of a greater culture change is highly questionable.
I added all printers from Makergeeks and the most popular from Amazon and Newegg. One retailer and one manufacturer contacted me today and asked to be included, what I did. If more retailers or manufacturers contact me, I will include their printers too. In that case, please send me images of the products that I can use in the chart.
Not sure I see why this is the case since the money's going to charity.

> How does anyone justify WeWork as a tech company?

Straight from the horse's mouth (We Co's S-1 Filing, pg.2):

"Technology is at the foundation of our global platform. Our purpose-built technology and operational expertise has allowed us to scale our core WeWork space-as-a-service offering quickly, while improving the quality of our solutions and decreasing the cost to find, build, fill and run our spaces. We have approximately 1,000 engineers, product designers and machine learning scientists that are dedicated to building, integrating and automating the complex systems we use to operate our business. As a result, we are able to deliver a premium experience to our members at a lower price relative to traditional alternatives."
I know many of you are dismayed, but there is a silver lining of ecological benefits. Studies show that relatively inaccessible beaches and wilderness (whether public or private) have healthier ecosystems and less litter.

For example, even mere regular trampling of sandy beaches impacts the food chain:

I just want healthy lifestyles to be part of the equation too. For mental problems just as for physical, sometimes the solution can be no medication and a healthier lifestyle instead. I've made this journey out of depression and it involves sleep, avoiding stress, gaining social contacts (slow!), exercise and diet.
But is that the norm? Cuba, Panama, Syria, Egypt, Iraq v Iran, Ukraine, Libya, Yemen, Somalia. The US takes sides all over the planet; Sometimes the US backs a 'state' and sometimes the US backs 'rebels.'
Dark mode objectively is more straining on the eyes though, so it must be more of a psychological preference.
> The disclosure undermines the Obama administration's assurances to Congress and the public that the NSA surveillance programs can't be abused because its spying systems are so aggressively monitored and audited for oversight purposes: If Snowden could defeat the NSA's own tripwires and internal burglar alarms, how many other employees or contractors could do the same?

This is the take-home message.

The steady stream of security breaches and information leaks in recent years has taught us that the only way to guarantee information does not fall into the wrong hands is not to record the information in the first instance.
As I just commented elsewhere, from a legal stand point, if they detain you for even a moment where you are not free to go, you have been arrested. For example, technically, a traffic stop is an arrest.
Well, if the point is that they are different then I see what you're saying but in actual fact the point seems to be they're almost equal.
Authenticity is a brand, and you will be rewarded for it by the customer.

Honesty is a quality that can only be recognized when someone maintains truthfulness and fair-dealing when they know that they will be punished for it.

Honesty will, if anything, destroy your authenticity.
Docker is not a security thing!
Yeah, I regularly try it (both with its native keybindings and with it's Maya emulation mode), and it has got better.

But it's still painful doing many things in a fluid / connected way, and generally it just doesn't scale for assets.

E.g. I tried to import the .obj (because the FBX support is pretty crap and there's no .abc support) of a fairly small model I had of a voxellated (shape made out of cubes) shape, which consisted of around 300,000 primitives (all cubes), and blender took over 6 hours to import it. Maya, Houdini (and 3D apps I've written) opened it in seconds.
This actually looks pretty reasonable, I am going to look into it. First I need to figure out how to open up the server for connections but still limit it, though.
For CLI: Cygwin `find` with the -mtime and -size options?

Sorry, but that's bullshit.

Just like the Concorde was really advanced, but it's environmental problems precluded it from being very useful, Tesla's hovering cars will be prohibited from working inside town limits because of all the dust and blast that's going to be harmful to others.

Even out of town, they won't be usable on dirt roads because of the danger of reduced visibility for other road users
Would you say showering is common if 44% of people claimed they do it more than once a week? It's clearly not a regular thing, even for this 44%.

The bike sales stat includes MTBs that aren't commonly used for actually getting somewhere. From my colleagues, I know that two cycle and one basically takes the car to go cycling somewhere and doesn't use their bike any other time.

Heck, I'm Dutch and I don't cycle here. The roads inside this town are very dangerous and I'd feel obnoxious sticking to the rules and bothering the much faster car traffic. Then, cycling between towns usually means driving on what is a highway in the Netherlands (100km/h). The drivers there have murder in their eyes when they have to crawl behind you waiting for a safe moment to pass, or squeeze past at high speeds. And I don't blame them, it'd be the same in NL if you cycle in the car lane on one of our 80 roads.

I'm happy that the stat is going up, it's healthier and more sustainable, but it's just not yet commonplace to cycle to any type of regular destination (work, supermarket, family, friends, city center, pick anything people go to on a regular basis) for any population subgroup except students without driver's licenses, let alone common for the population and set of destinations as a whole.
There is certainly a cultural element, but it is literally a legal difference as well. The federal government in the US does not have the same broad powers as the federal government in Korea. Remember the US is a collection of states that consented to let the feds take on certain powers while retaining many, whereas South Korea is “just” South Korea. Provincial autonomy in SK is not anything like the “state’s rights” issue in the US.
Can I suggest an alternative?

The pieces of the NYT that you think are “some of the best journalistic context out there” might be in area that you are less well read than you believe yourself to be.
