Eating a fruit is not the same as drinking the equivalent amount of fruit juice along with some fiber for the same fructose load, because when eating a fruit the fact that the sugars are bound up in the fibers and must be broken down acts as a rate control.

It's a dose issue, but dose is both volume and absorption rate, and the absorption rate of fructose from free sugar is very fast, as it is not rate-regulated in the liver like glucose metabolism. This means it doesn't require as much refined sugar compared to sugar from fruit in order for your liver to spend some time with a dangerous fructose load;

-Refined- sugars are -especially- problematic, because of the absorption pattern. Simply combining free sugar with supplemental fiber mitigates some of the metabolic issues, but doesn't alleviate the problem.

If you watch Lustig he -does- say the fruit is fine, for this reason.

Whenever we find the chemical in a particular plant that is the one we like the most (and in rats, it's been shown that sugar&cocaine addicted rats prefer their sugar hit to their cocaine hit), extract it, and crystalize it, it's not surprising that it may be problematic.
Have a look at the precedence table for Java: http://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/11precedence/

The cast has higher precedence than multiplication, so the scaling doesn't help at all, unless you use parenthesis to force the right order of evaluation.
How has it affected me? My posting of the Wikipedia page on "Fallacies of Distributed Computing" made it to #2 on HN, and I got a big karma bump; and wasted more time than usual on HN today, discussing this stuff.

Also, since Quora was down, I didn't get my usual quota of Quora surfing in.

Otherwise, today has been "business as usual." :-)
Yeah, definitely noticed this. For example, I designed something (low volume) at the start of 2020 with a precision gyroscope that was easily available with over a hundred in stock each at Digikey, Mouser, Avnet etc. and when it came to starting building them around October/November, nobody had any parts of any of the variants in stock and the lead time said 22 weeks...

Although looking now for that part at least the shortage seems to be easing - there are about a dozen showing up as available across a few places on Octopart and the lead time seems to have dropped back to eight weeks.
My thoughts exactly! It is better to shoot stupid people who believe falsehood propaganda about your family and come to your home to kill you for something you never did, than to stop the spread of propaganda before it is too late.
Oh absolutely. I've long been in favor of getting rid of section 230. I'm not sure why we have it?
Om is built on top of React. I'm not sure how you reconcile "React sucks" with "Om is the future" given that.
So...is he basically saying it should be more like Angular?
Putting a restriction on the definition of open source that limits discussion to those with the time and ability to submit patches sounds, to me, like the opposite of openness. A piece of open source software being used by people outside the development group is a resounding endorsement of both the product itself and the model of open source development that led to the product being so accessible. Developers know that writing software is hard, and receiving criticism or feedback on software you worked on can be hard, too, but I think it’s ultimately to the benefit of the community of both developers and users that shortcomings (or unexpected behaviour) in the software are known. It helps people make informed decisions on what software they choose to use in their personal life, or even what software they trust to run their business on.
/r/fitness got heaps in to Starting Strength like 5 years ago where they recommended it to basically every beginner lifter and there were a bunch of before and afters from it of dudes t-rexing themselves when their primary (often only) goal was looking good.

It doesn't make sense to perform routines that don't aim to achieve the results you want and the routine you're most likely to stick with is the one that promises the results you want, has people who have done it and achieved the results you want, and is created by a guy who has the results you want.
That.. makes sense, but is almost suspiciously proactive.
I’m responding to my parent poster who quotes: “In future, the firm said it would also look at accounts where people have logged in but don't "do anything" on the platform.”

I guess it depends on what “don’t do anything” translates to in Twitterspeak.
Programming languages lend themselves to different applications and the kinds of projects one contributes to in one's hobby time are different than those one contributes to in one's professional time. As such, I wouldn't expect hobbyist Rust users to work on the same distribution of projects as professional Python developers. In any case, I just want to know what people are inspired to work on with Rust; it's an open ended question, and it's okay that this question has no single easy answer. (Also, "what are people building with Python?" is a very interesting question to me; it's pretty much why https://github.com/trending?l=python and similar exist--and note, the kinds of projects that trend for Python are very different from those that trend for Rust).
Why would a car-size airlock be required? A simple airtight hatch for the car to dock to (similar to a suitport) would work fine.

The first car on the moon was unpressurized because the program was a once-cancelled afterthought designed to fit into a spare cargo bay and unfold, with tight mass constraints. MOLAB was impractical because of the upmass required, not because pressurization wouldn't have been useful.
Possibly also generated. From the top of HN last week:

I strongly suspect that it would generally be a massive undertaking to decouple products from their internal ecosystem and render them able to be spun off.
You're right, it's a bad example, imagine if I joining two tables:

SELECT a.id, COUNT(b.*), COUNT(c.*)
FROM a JOIN b ON b.a_id = a.id JOIN c ON c.a_id = a.id
GROUP BY a.id

I want to know how many occurrences a_id has in both table b and c. Again in this simple example, I could just count on b.a_id and c.a_id, respectively, but imagine if b and c were complex virtual tables:

JOIN (SELECT NULL AS foo, 1 AS bar
UNION SELECT 1 AS foo, NULL AS bar) b ON b.foo = a.id OR b.bar = a.id

This would be useful if we are aggregating data together, where essentially, there are two ways to join the data with the main table, and both columns can be null.

Of course, in this example, you could count by going COUNT(b.foo) + COUNT(b.bar), but that's a bit awkward, or a column in table b you know to never be null. But what if you don't? And still have table c next to it?

Yes, in all cases, there would be a way out. In the extreme case, you could wrap it in a virtual table, where you add a column that is just always 0 (not null), so you can count on it. It would just be neat if b.* was possible.
By machinery do you mean compiler? The Java JIT has become extremely, extremely fast. All those $B that have collectively put into it have yielded reaped rewards. It is of course challenging to have your lunch and eat it too if you're not aware of the best way to order it.
They're right from the gender standpoint, according to the UN which ranks China as having better gender equality than the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_Inequality_Index
Except that he pointed out in this, that tech's arent removing some white supremacy stuff because it would remove politicians when ADL wants them to.
I believe your parent was too- Google Reader has also been cancelled.
Well, I agree with all your points -- people definitely improve at things quickly by being under pressure to deliver, and by exposing themselves to critical feedback. So perhaps the set of good people and the set of people who ship converge until they are identical, anyway.
Authenticity is the marketers holy grail.
Googling the headline gives me a link with the same sign-in barrier.
But at least it would successfully reply to at least some of requests, right?

And would still keep trying to serve the requests, right?

So if sufficient number of supernodes is brought back online then the problems should disappear.
The ability for a generalist to perform is going to kind of depend on their role on a team. As a note I consider myself to be a generalist in the web application world (I have a pretty good handle on every stage of the stack, some parts more in depth than others).

Really I think the strength there is the overall visibility of how systems work. For me the strength is from a technical and product standpoint, I'm looking for solutions at each level and trying to determine which is the best just because I have experience working at each level. Someone that's focused on front-end or back-end work is going to look at their end for the solution and not necessarily on the other ends. The problem I have is I might not have as solid of a solution as someone that is an expert on that edge of the stack (though I could learn about it if given the opportunity).

Basically I might have a different set of tools at my disposal than someone who is a specialist.

This can obviously extend out to other disciplines, maybe I'm a generalist on the business side and I understand how product and marketing work, but I'm weak on my technical knowledge.

I think that, due to the fact that the tools are more sprawled out, you need to either be in a team that can use those tools effectively or as an individual you need to be very good at prioritizing what the best tools are in order to derive a solution. I think being aware of your strengths and limitations is key, and this is something that comes with time and experience.
"Our engineers are creating new ‘mega-supernodes’ as fast as they can"

What a brilliant solution.
The only real issue I've had with OhLife is that frequently I'm out grabbing dinner at 8pm (which I believe is the default), so to keep from forgetting I'll toss in a 1-2 sentence description of what happened and while it's better than nothing, it really isn't writing. Since it's entirely email based, I completely forgot that they have an option to change it - I just switched it to 11pm to see if that gives me better results.
^Oh, look, someone incapable of presenting any argument of your own, to any of the points. I wonder why that is? ;
How do you equate poor performance on a standardized test with being less fortunate? It's my opinion that university admissions are way to lenient and that we'd do well to ratchet them up a major notch.

Let community colleges serve their purpose. University studies should be for serious students capable of academic work.

I brought up my score in this because it's the comparison most relevant to me.
Just set up a cloud server on rackspace and it was my first time ever. Needed help on a few occasions and the people manning their live chat were extremely helpful. Took me a day to get everything online, setup, secured, and working without any previous experience (apache, mysql, mail server, smtp relay, etc).

What I really like is that fact that I can increase the size of my foot print in a few minutes. Since I'm starting to do PR and marketing this week if anything catches on, not to worried about experiencing server problems.
Much more effective to go after individual phone makers.

If you go after Google you go after a company that obviously has a big stake in mobile share and will want to fight for it.

If you go after individual phone makers, they have to decide if it is worth continuing going down this path. Even more likely, a new phone maker might get scared off at producing a clone that doesn't have the financial resources to fight Apple.
I read it as haters of the deal rather than haters of DDG. For example, thebooktocome made a comment saying that (s)he was done with DDG because of the deal. Sorry if it was confusing.
MySQL has the flaw that all dual-licensed projects have; trademark is owned by a for-profit, all copyright is owned by a for-profit -- Oracle is the only one who can sell commercial licenses, Oracle has the privilege to sell commercial support as the owner of the only branch/fork of MySQL that is called "MySQL", all other forks will be forever called MySQL-forks, unless some alternative fork emerges that's so groundbreaking that it will make MySQL irrelevant (or all channels of distribution, like Linux distros, align to stop distribution of MySQL). Basically, as a project, MySQL is mature and has enough clout that it might never exist enough incentive for forks to gain market-share, ever.

That's one of the reasons why I switched to PostgreSQL -- BSD-like license, trademark owned by a nonprofit, has much better popularity and support than all MySQL-forks combined.
Fair enough. What examples did you have in mind of people trying to avoid the use of calculus (where it would be the best solution)?
In addition to this, "de-indentation" can be achieved with Shift-Tab instead of backspace.
I will know whether or not China engineered this virus when I read compelling, trustworthy evidence to that end.
> With iOS or Google's version of Android it's damn near impossible to not hand out all your data.

Isn’t this whole Apple-Facebook feud due to Apple trying to allow users to have more say in their data? It seems weird you’re criticizing them for sharing data in a thread about them trying to let users have more say about their data than competitors and their competitors wanting to sue them over it.
It's pretty hard to find high quality alternatives. There is the wall street journal, maybe a few others, but not many. I personally read a few high quality news sources and science journals.

Inexplicably many here seem to think that random blog posts are somehow remotely equivalent. I value opinion at zero, and trust a random person to do quality research at about zero too. Trust is earned.

When random internet opinion becomes "news" I suppose we really are in a post truth world.
Your taste may vary - I certainly haven't noticed "almost every piece of nonfiction" suffering since I first read his work.
While much different and not as accessible as Excel, R Shiny is also a very rapid way to built data "products".
"If anyone is tempted to associate 'lab leak' with xenophobia or anti-Chinese sentiment, please remember the WIV lab was in partnership with the U.S. NIH ..."

Thank you. I'm curious ... how many virology labs, like this one, are extant in the world and how many study coronaviruses as they did ?

Is it tens of thousands of virology labs like this one and hundreds that study coronaviruses ?

Or is it hundreds of virology labs like this one and a handful study coronaviruses ?
America's puritan based roots along with a continuing culture of anti-intellectualism will eventually be our undoing. This is slightly strange though given the premises on which our country was founded.
I didn't notice any difference on 10.10 and previous versions... Why do you need screenshots?..

Someone's finalizing the huge potential in tooling for HTML5, good work.
The only kitchen product that's being plugged is a Cuisinart coffeemaker, the other products mentioned are being called out for their bad design. I agree that it's not a good article, but that's because it doesn't mention any good products. The Cuisinart coffeemaker has far too many buttons, it doesn't look easy to use at all.
You know, the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear.

What?
I thought that sentence was a paraphrasing but it is literally in that document. Wow. It seems a bit unprofessional to me.
Jeff's evaluation of GPLGPU is fascinating:
https://jbush001.github.io/2016/07/24/gplgpu-walkthrough.htm...

you are absolutely correct in that everything has moved on from "Fixed Function" of SGI, and how GPLGPU works (worked) - btw it's NOT GPL-licensed: Frank sadly made his own license, "GPL words but with non-commercial tacked onto the end" which ... er... isn't GPL... sigh - but everything commercially has now moved on to Shader Engines.

that basically means Vulkan.

however you may be fascinated to know, from Jeff's evaluation, that there are still startling similarities in basic functionality in not-GPL GPLGPU and in modern designs targetted at Shader Engines.
It's to keep control. Plenty of services have offered full downloads over the years and bandwidth is cheap. There's no reason for them not to offer them unless they're being greedy.
That's a really good point that I'd not really thought about. I'd never really considered the difference between calling just functions versus macros.

Thinking about Query.jl and DataFramesMeta.jl, and I am for sure not an expert in either, I can't specifically speak to your `head` example, but other base functions can be combined with macros. For example, see the LINQ examples from DataFramesMeta.jl[1] where `mean` is being used. Or again the LINQ style examples in Query.jl[2], where `descending` is used in the first example, or `length` later in the Grouping examples.

Is that the kind of thing you meant?

For whatever reason, with the way my brain is wired, the LINQ style of query just works for me. I have never directly used LINQ, but do have some SQL experience. In fact, I wrote some dinky little wrapper functions[3] around duckdb[4] so I could directly query R dataframes and datatables with SQL using that backend, rather than sqldf[5].

Some additional background:

* AWS has a managed Spark offering called EMR

* EMR pricing (https://aws.amazon.com/emr/pricing/) is lower than Databricks pricing (https://databricks.com/product/aws-pricing)

* Databricks notebook development experience is better than EMR (but still really basic compared to IntelliJ / PyCharm text editing)

* Both Databricks & EMR have proprietary Spark runtimes

* Databricks is building a Spark runtime in C++ that might be faster (Delta Engine)

* Spark lets you process massive datasets easily, with small teams. 2-3 person teams can build data ingestion pipelines to clean & process terabytes of data a day. It's an incredible technology.

* The difference between the PySpark & Scala APIs confuse the hell out of people

* Whether or not ppl can run Python machine learning models on Spark clusters confuses people

* Overreliance on notebooks causes big issues (no version control, tests, deployment process, dependency management)

The big data ecosystem is constantly evolving and you need to study constantly to keep up.
Remote work from Europe for a SV company is problematic, there's practically no overlap of working time so the European workers needs to work late evening and into the night to be able to stay in touch with the team. Not that many experienced (i.e. older and with families) people are ok with that.
I suppose it’s tricky to apply an FP approach when you get closer to the external interface, it’s moe suitable for the more internal stuff. But when you combine it with reactive approaches into FRP you can do more, and there are more complex examples to be found.

But I’d say in general that FP is mostly just an alternative to OOP, maybe even leas than that, not a complete paradigm for writing complex programs. At least if you use a mainstream language, then FP is probably something you do pretty locally.
Can you link or point me to a source about Gravity Payments walking that back? I can't find anything about it.
At the fundamental level I don’t agree with this position.

A simple measure: if you remove all the capital value CAN still be generated. If you remove all the workers value CANNOT be generated any longer.

I am working on a Coronavirus Survival Calculator see: https://corona-virus-chart.co/calculator

Clearly Apple's for trying to sell us on this new vision for computing, which is just plain worse. Sorry.
I'm working on a tool to make web apps without writing any code, so basically a WYSIWYG that's like Airtable + Squarespace in one. If you have a need for any internal apps for your company I'd love to hear about it! https://www.fabrica.dev/
Quarantine or not, I'm working exactly the same as before on [3geonames.org](https://3geonames.org) a 3d location encoding scheme and [geocode.xyz](https://geocode.xyz) a geoparser / geocoder.

It would be good if browsers had native support and rendering of SQLite in the same way that Chrome works with PDFs.
