"Breakfast is good for you" implies that it has some benefit. In some cases, however, the cost of eating breakfast is greater than its benefit.

For instance, if you have to get to work at 5am, are you better off waking up earlier to eat breakfast? In this case, the cost of lost sleep may be greater than the benefit of breakfast.

The NYT article points out that many of the studies that claim breakfast is good may be flawed. If that's true, then we are likely overestimating the benefit of breakfast. And that means that in many cases where we thought

perceived_benefit(breakfast) > cost(breakfast)

it could actually be that

real_benefit(breakfast) < cost(breakfast)
Older, yes, but sadly, the wisdom I expected to attend age has not yet appeared. :)
This isn't controversial at this point, it's becoming the consensus, and it isn't news. But it gives me a chance to say: if you have real "allergy" problems but test negative for histamine/IgE allergies, say on a skin test; look into MCAS. Fair warning, your allergist may very well never have heard of it - doctors are rarely paid to read.

MCAS = Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
MCAD (Mast Cell Activation Disorder) = MCAS or mastocytosis

> the increased data-collection intrusiveness

The irony of this common complaint is that most people voicing it carry iPhones or Android phones, which are heavily instrumented to collect data by the operating system provider, the hardware manufacturer, and the carrier. Unlike a desktop PC, it knows where you are at all times because of its onboard sensors and has access the content of any communication you make with others.

(Note that even using custom OS images doesn't necessarily disable all telemetry since all smartphones run a separate OS to manage radio functions. See http://www.osnews.com/story/27416/The_second_operating_syste... for details.)

Most of the collected data is, of course, benign. Just like the data collected by Windows 10.
Your statement makes no sense.

To use your example in the same vein, why should people be forced to starve because somebody with more money bought up all the food in the region? Oh, and they get to raid their pantries too, but instead of paying the person for the food they get from the pantry, they pay the grocery store they bought it from.

Some people think it's perfectly fine to feed the rich first and let the poor have the scraps. That is the essence of capitalism: scarce goods are distributed based on the willingness to pay. But it's perfectly valid for a society to reject this notion.
And standard of living doesn't correlate well to geopolitical/economic power which is what GP was talking about with being able to get good terms in trade negotiations.

I don't see something like this happening this in any main stream language.

That example illustrates one thing very clearly. How you believe you KNOW the language, and how it pulls the rug from under your feet in the most unexpected way.

You can wait for it to happen to you. Or you can learn from the experience of others.

Your pick.
I like England. What is it about the country and its 50 million inhabitants distinguish it in such a dismal way from other countries?
>How would Holland negotiate with the USA or Russia about trade issues?

I'd imagine having one of the largest ports in the world, which is Rotterdam, is a big leverage.
> Would you disagree that countries should have a mechanism under their control under which they have a say as to who gets to settle, work or study in their country?

I would, actually. Why should the accidents of birth determine something like that?

> Wanting to be able to control ingress is not the same as blocking all ingress.

Realistically that's the only reason people who talk about controlling ingress want to control it though.

> In this case I believe some in the UK, more than anything, resent having their migration policies promulgated in Brussels.

Shrug. I've lived in the UK all my life, but I feel like I have more connection to Brussels than (say) Leeds. (Indeed it would take me less long to get a train there).

> ...3 minute basic screen by the recruiter....

Exactly. The recruiter call should be primarily to gauge interest and to get some idea if the candidate has any skills and experience whatsoever. I've gotten calls from recruiters who were clearly not technical people asking fairly deep technical questions. That's an instant turn off to me.
I agree with your sentiment, but I think it's important messages like this are out there to, at least, hamper the spread of unsupported messages like breakfast "being the most important meal". There's an insane amount of nutritional bullshit out there that has been perpetuated for generations.
The so-called EU "Parliament" cannot inititiate legislation - it is told what to do by the UNELECTED EU Commission.

I've been trying out Phoenix, and it seems like the top contender for a Rails successor. It's not quite as fluent as Rails, but it's close. But I'm curious: since it is so much like Rails, won't it suffer from all the same complaints as in the article? It is still a monolithic, "Phoenix is your app" kind of framework, isn't it? Isn't the Devise-but-for-Phoenix library going to require Ecto? I think of Phoenix as just "Rails but faster." How is it different from Rails in ways the article author would appreciate?

(Edit: Btw I happily accept Rails' monolithic nature for all its conveniences, and I don't really identify with this author, but I'm curious to hear your opinion whether Phoenix would be a good fit for him.)
It can install silently without user approval -- this happened to my wife's laptop over the weekend. Luckily it is a fairly recent Windows8 HP machine and still works (unlike the three different Windows7 machines of mine that ended up unusable post-upgrade).
Bashing Php should be encouraged just like bashing any other bad practice..

For example. Take the case of MySQL injection. People does not hand wave SQL injection vulnerabilities by saying. "Na, It haven't happened to me ever, even after 10 years of making websites using mysql". Just like that.

Use of PHP IS a bad practice today.

It's unfortunate that Rich Hickey (assume he's the author) can't write this without trolling about type systems. It's pretty clear to anyone who's read the literature, or has thought for a few moments, that contract systems provide different guarantees to type systems, so no need to poke at type systems throughout the Guidelines.

>This reads like "I don't eat breakfast, so here's the reasons why I'm right."

Actually he gives very reasoned arguments and comments on meta-studies showing that he is right -- not that breakfast is bad, but in that it doesn't make any difference, and if it does nobody has clearly shown it.

(a) . In a paper published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2013, researchers reviewed the literature on the effect of breakfast on obesity to look specifically at this issue. They first noted that nutrition researchers love to publish results showing a correlation between skipping breakfast and obesity.

(b) However, they also found major flaws in the reporting of findings. People were consistently biased in interpreting their results in favor of a relationship between skipping breakfast and obesity. They improperly used causal language to describe their results. They misleadingly cited others’ results. And they also improperly used causal language in citing others’ results.

(c) Few randomized controlled trials exist. Those that do, although methodologically weak like most nutrition studies, don’t support the necessity of breakfast.

(d) Further confusing the field is a 2014 study (with more financial conflicts of interest than I thought possible) that found that getting breakfast skippers to eat breakfast, and getting breakfast eaters to skip breakfast, made no difference with respect to weight loss. But a 1992 trial that did the same thing found that both groups lost weight. A balanced perspective would acknowledge that we have no idea what’s going on.

(e) Many of the studies are funded by the food industry, which has a clear bias. Kellogg funded a highly cited article that found that cereal for breakfast is associated with being thinner. The Quaker Oats Center of Excellence (part of PepsiCo) financed a trial that showed that eating oatmeal or frosted cornflakes reduces weight and cholesterol (if you eat it in a highly controlled setting each weekday for four weeks).

Your comment however, reads exactly like you describe his, but for the opposite preference.

I don't think the public will vote to leave, majority don't like certain things about the EU, sometimes rightly so, but at the same time are aware of the potential economic damage if they voted "Leave".

What's annoying is how the vote is being used irresponsibly as a tool in domestic politics.

First - Cameron calling the vote to start off with, just to please backbenchers in his own party. What a waste of money this whole exercise has been. I bet he's hoping he could turn the clock back.

Second - Boris Johnson. Come on. People are not going to vote you for PM based on your "Leave" campaign. A haircut would go much further and be far less risky.

Only if the exposure was recent would this should on standard tests such as a blood test. A biopsy would show retained mercury; but your doctor or specialist will almost certainly refuse to perform a biopsy for this purpose. We're way behind on anything related to heavy metal toxicity because the Dental lobby spent a lot of money on politicians making sure research on the topic wasn't funded. A lot of the best research was done, therefore, in the former Soviet Union.

Not sure what the year has to do with anything, but most things in computer science were invented in the sixties and the seventies or even earlier and since then we've only been refining them. In terms of programming languages, the theoretical breakthroughs have been in terms of static typing, even though note that even the Hindley-Milner type system has been first described in 1969.

In other words, strange thing to complain about a syntax that has stood the test of time. After all, most mainstream languages (C, C++, Simula, Pascal, Java, etc) are Algol-based, a language that first appeared in 1958. And no, you can't have LISP without its syntax, because that's what's giving it power. The "code is data" mantra only works because Lisp is homoiconic, because it basically has no meaningful syntax other than syntax for describing its primitive data-structures, which makes its macros first class and its "eval" natural.

But in the LISP family Clojure is actually quite modern. It runs on both the JVM and Javascript engines. It does have extra syntax for describing sets and maps. Its data-structures are immutable and it encourages immutability to a far larger degree than other LISPs. But it also has very good interoperability with the underlying platform.
You are correct in that the American breakfast as we know it is one largely (in many senses of the word) invented to make us consume more.

Italian breakfast is a shot of espresso. Maybe a croissant if you're really that hungry. Then you get a monster lunch at noon.

Neither system is superior, it's just what works in either culture. Which is to say, there is no universal nutrition advice since everyone's body and microbiome and working culture is different. Pick and choose what works for you because only you process the food you eat.

Yup, I occasionally use text files plus pandoc. This allows me to keep plain-text files (actually markdown) in version control, sync'd across multiple devices, and to generate Word docs, PDFs, etc for those who want them.

I've yet to hit the snag-point when I start getting feedback in the form of "track changes" in a Word doc -- shudder -- but I'll clear that hurdle when I come to it. Perhaps I'm fighting a losing battle there.

Top tip for anyone else thinking of doing this: I generate Word docs using pandoc, then generate PDFs by "save as" from Word. This keeps the formatting the same, and my pandoc batch-script remains simple.

So... OP... A cross-platform Word-like editor with a non-tech-friendly interface to version control repositories. Or that last bit as a plug-in for Word.

Aaand googling "git plugin for ms word" reveals plenty of interesting reading material.
I have an 8" SCT and can see many galaxies, nebulae and clusters with it when we go to our dark spot. You can even see the spot on Jupiter on a really good night. They don't look like the hubble photographs of the galaxies, but there's something just breath-taking about seeing it with your own eyes, in real-time.

"I don't see anything, just a blurry spot"

"That's it! That's the galaxy."

"You sure? I think it might just be a smudge on the lense."

"No, no. Try moving where you're focusing your vision, around it, instead of looking at it directly. So you're viewing it mostly with your peripheral vision."

"Woah."
I found it a bit strange, but not that strange. First, a "thesis" isn't too uncommon at the BA level. I majored in math at UCSC where this is an option. Can't say if this is something people do in CS, but I wouldn't be surprised.

http://www.math.ucsc.edu/undergraduate/compreq.html

I could see how someone might find material in the emergence of Rails in web programming for a thesis at the undergraduate level.
Mostly politics. At every level, there is resistance, and motivation for politicians in congress (especially senators) to take a strong pro-coal, NIBMY to Nuclear stance. Any senator who accepts a disposal site, or new reactor site in their state is putting their career in the line. The kind of people who do that, tend not to become or stay senators.

The end result is that we're just sitting it out, because we've made it prohibitively expensive (in terms of licensing, and in terms of political capital).
I'm Greek but live and work in the UK. I'm an immigrant, I guess. I've done well for myself here. If the Brexit happens, I'll be in a tough spot, possibly forced to leave. To go where? Back home! That would be a bit of a disaster for me.

And yet- I think the UK should leave.

From living with the British it seems to me that they really, really want to go. They want it for absurd, idiotic reasons. They 're motivated by nationalism, xenophobia, a ridiculous belief that if they kick all the foreigners off their island everything broken with the UK will magically fix itself... In short, the worse, most stupid sentiments that could ever inform such a serious decision.

And yet- they seem to want it. What's more, while they're in they're constantly disruptive and reactionary, digging in their heels and protesting every effort to bring the rest of the continent closer _as the rest of the continent wants it_. They are the grumpy man of Europe and proud of it.

So let them have their little moment. Let them wave two fingers in our collective faces. And let them get out just like they want it.

That's what they want. Let them have it.

Consider the alternative to the EU's 'flawed and dangerous' response to the Balkans, etc - 28 individual responses which take no consideration of each other and cumulatively achieve nothing.

Some bureaucracy, organisational headaches (and yes of course, allowing those evil men in Brussles to tell us how straight our carrots can be) are a small price to pay for getting stuff done in our closely connected continent.

Taking the moral high ground with the 'undemocratic' argument gets you nowhere really. Britain has an unelected house of Parliament and many, many more historical oddities all of its own which are deeply undemocratic.

All you end up with is 'our brand of undemocracy is better than your dirty foreign one', and yes I'm aware that this is an oversimplification of sovereignty, etc, etc.

Do allergy shots actually work in any measurable fashion? I had weekly shots for years as a child, to try to counter some crippling dust and pet allergies, but the only effect I ever experienced was feeling miserable for six days out of the week, and finally having the crap washed out of my system by the seventh day, just in time to get shot up again.

On the other hand, after puberty and a serious illness in my late teens that basically rebooted my immune system, I haven't had any issues with allergies ever since.

I actually prefer internal recruiters. At least they typically have some motivation against throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.
Sometimes I even ask myself: “you only hire the best…at what exactly?” there is difference between having a fancy degree/accolades and actually contributing meaningfully to your work. I have also seen(in my thin years of experience) that at most companies, there is a disconnect between HR and company’s talent needs. Only those who have figured out how to bridge that gap hire “the best”(subjectively).

I feel like the "immutability" refers more to the rules and gameplay mechanics of chess than the strategies. Certainly the strategies of chess evolve, but that is a result of players developing new and different ways to play the game.

This is opposed to a game like Magic the Gathering, Hearthstone or even DOTA 2 where the strategies change because the game itself is constantly being changed

Hmmm, I have bad allergies and was born and raised in Joplin, MO, a lead and zinc mining town until after WWII, and like everyone else born in the early '60s was exposed to tetraethyllead in gasoline until it started to be phased out in the mid-70s.

Then again, I clearly got this from my mother who is in some ways worse (stays indoors during ragweed season, which doesn't bother me at all), my problems largely disappeared when I moved to the Boston area (different climate and allergens), returned when I moved to the D.C. area (very roughly the same as Joplin). But I'll think about this, I've never had a test for lead....
The particular argument and graph that as a % of global GDP, Europe and the US have been diminishing while China has been growing does sound a bit shortsighted... after all, if China is joining the developed world, that's EXACTLY how the graph should like.

A much more informative graph would map relative growth versus countries that didn't "join the club" (say, Norway, Switzerland or others).

I'm not British, and I'm not sure whether I'd vote for or against if I were, but it's interesting.
