IME most of the plain varieties lack added sugar. There's still plenty of sugar from the milk.

I've been eating whole fat greek style US yogurt lately. It tends to have less sugar than other plain yogurts and I am less inclined to add it.

What always surprises me is that many obese people don't seem to actually eat that much more than me. I believe it's their addiction to sodas, microwaved meals, and basically never eating anything that's fresh.

I have an obese friend who grew up watching a lot of TV (especially sports) and when he was a kid, he believed that in order to become a famous athlete like the people on the TV screen, one should drink a lot of soda.

Growing up, I've watched a lot of cereal commercials too. They all have a memorable theme, and they try to convince the kids that it's both tasty and full of vitamins and so it's good for your body. But I was so addicted to the sugar in them -- there was a time in high school where I was sometimes eating a full box of cereal a day.

I feel sad that Mexico can ban junk-food commercials, make sodas more expensive by taxing them, and ban sugar-related goods in schools and we cannot. We should be doing the same things in the States too, and we should give the children a proper education about nutrition early on.
Django's recommended project structure is one that immediately comes to mind. A project is broken down into "applications" each which have their own models, views, and controllers (among other things like forms, tests, etc.). Each "application" is an area of responsibility within the project, like payment or user management.

As it's python, the 'views' module could technically be a folder with multiple files inside it, but they would all be grouped under their respective app.
If you have an android, when your phone doesn't pair audio, going to Bluetooth settings, hitting the gear icon next to your cars name and turning audio off then on again usually fixes it.
"In my new book, The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet, which will be released on February 25, I provide an..." blah blah blah blah.

Sugar is poisonous/toxic/carcinogenic and if you buy Dr. Mark Hyman's book he will give you all of the keys to unlock 200-year life expectancy.
As with most nutrition topics, it's more complex than that. There's evidence that fructose consumed as part of fresh fruits doesn't affect the body the same way as fructose added to other foods, or even the same way that fruit juice does.

Absolutely! And that's the thrust of my comment: A huge contributor to these issues is suspiciously left out.

"HTML is the kind of thing that can only be loved by a computer scientist. Yes, it expresses the underlying structure of a document, but documents are more than just structured text databases; they have visual impact. HTML totally eliminates any visual creativity that a document’s designer might have. — Roy Smith, 1993"

Seems like an odd request in 1993. Sure, Prodigy had visual impact, but it was pretty hard to read. HTML's starkness seems in part due to the fact that styling options were limited by the technology and the ones that existed were easily abused.

Writing long sentences as headers (<h1>) or all-caps (caps-lock) were styling options at the time... and often misunderstood and abused.

People have observed a correlation between the arrival of a Walmart and changes to local downtown retail. I'm skeptical of assigning causation and even more so of assigning blame because retail was undergoing massive structural shifts in places where a new Walmart didn't matter or where there were no Walmarts.

Way back when Walmart was mainly in Arkansas, I lived in Northern Virginia. The Springfield Mall opened bringing department stores outside the Beltway. Department stores have been in decline ever since. Malls have stopped being a thing just as downtown shopping had stopped being one before them. Through the 80's and 90's I watched department stores go belly up in the Orlando malls. Nothing to do with Walmart.

The Publix was the nearest grocery store to the house I grew up in in Orlando. George Jenkins still set its tone from Lakeland even though it had begun growing across state lines. The tone old George set was 9-5 Monday to Thursday, 9-5:30 on Friday, 9-12 Saturday, Closed on Sunday. Stock boys got a nickel raise every six months. Tipping of the bag boys was encouraged. Tipping the cashiers [all women] was not. The other place women would work was the bakery.

Around 1980, the Albertson's bought the corner lot next door. Hours: 9-11 every day. Heathens could shop on Sunday. Working people could buy groceries after work. It was practical for the California company to open in a cross country market for the same reason it was practical for the Jenkins's company to expand out of state: the deregulation of interstate trucking. It took a few years, but not all that many, for Publix to better serve the public.

My beloved's family is from Kussuth County, Iowa. The small towns in their townships have been dying since German POW's encamped there abouts were repatriated in 1946. Tractors and modern mortgages and Monsanto and college educations are better candidates than Walmart. And local retail? Well piss off the owner of the only quicky mart in Lone Rock and the option is to buy your $3.00 can of beenie weenies and $2.00 roll of toilet paper in the next town over.

People vote with their feet. Whatever it's negative impact, Walmart tends to take people as they are. It doesn't subject them to the whims or moral judgements of its owners. That's a broader change in retail that Walmart embodies. A man can by Legos for his daughter at midnight even if he's sweaty and stinky from an evening shift on the loading dock. His partner doesn't need to put on a pillbox and white gloves and take an afternoon off to shop downtown.
Yeah, but Helium 3 is a totally different beast with different uses. Helium 4 is far more abundant and that's the one people are using to fill balloons and cool MRIs and purge lines and all the rest.
Brexit is a little over-focused on at this point.

As far as the article, the beginning half was pretty good, relatively straight forward and even if you disagree with the conclusions the thought process behind them is well laid out and reasonable.

the second half, which is everything after 'TECH AND A NEW SYSTEM' is just ideology, without much foundation in empiricism... again whether you agree or disagree, its just not coming from a place of reasonable logical conclusion built on basic empirical data.

I guess it could be possible. But the thing about range is that is most often reported under ideal conditions. Meaning clear line of sight between antennas and little to no other transmissions in that frequency range.

This is an excellent read, and the only thing that I really want to add is at this bit:

> Each of these factors is critical: a universal basic income alone offers some degree of financial security, but it does not offer dignity to the recipient, or any return for society beyond a reduction in guilt.

It's time we re-thought the idea that you need to work for your fill. Speaking as a strong capitalist, it's simply not the reality anymore. To put it in the context of the tribe working to survive that most people think is a good metaphor, this is akin to having 3 incredibly good hunters in the tribe who catch enough food to feed the tribe 4 times over yet still requiring the other men to go hunting and not letting them eat if they don't catch anything on a given day. Why? We have the resources to feed everyone, and all the lower ends of the economic classes doing all the busy-work they could possibly do in a day cannot generate the kind of wealth that workers at the upper end create with a regular work day on a bad day.

The notion that you MUST do SOMETHING to earn your money is quickly becoming a barrier to efficiency, and with automation on the rise, it's only going to get worse. Simply "getting a better job" is not a sufficient answer for the vast groups in the population that we're set to unemploy.
The Oracle of Arithmetic
Let’s see, in no particular order…

* New pretty continuous color schemes (viridis, rainbow, ColorBrewer)

* New axes that are easier to use.

* Vastly improved circle-packing layout.

* More stable, extensible force layout.

* Cleaner implementation of immutable selections & transitions.

And a ton of other stuff. Taken overall, it feels like a big step forward in robustness and cleanliness. And I’m hopeful that it’ll be easier for folks to develop more D3 modules.

The Pentagon is betting on human-AI teaming, called 'Centaurs'. The foundational story is this:

Back in the late 1990s, Deep Blue beat the best human chess player, a demonstration of the power of AI.

Around ten years later, a tournament of individual grandmasters and individual AIs was won by ... some amateur chess players teamed with AIs.

AIs aren't good at dealing with novel situations, humans are; they complement each other (and I'll add: unlike most other endeavors, in war the environment (the enemy) is desperately striving to confuse you and do the unexpected. Your self-parking car would have more trouble if someone was trying everything they could think of to stop it, as if their survival was at stake). Also, we strongly prefer humans make life-and-death decisions; hopefully that turns out to be realistic.

It depends on which bread you buy. The lightest sandwich breads that are made in regional commercial bakeries tend to have quite a bit of sugar. The bread from the store bakery might not have any. Bread from fancier bakeries will depend on what style of bread it is.

" is just ideology, without much foundation in empiricism"

That's fuzzy logic for you. Probably why it mostly died around the turn of the century.

It's still used in a few systems as a complementary system involving PIC controls.
"It looks like local index and search tool like ack and ag. While above I'm talking about the whole service.
"

The tool that was open sourced by russ uses the same technology/scheme that the original codesearch was built on.

Given Russ wrote code search (the service) as an intern in a few months, one would think you should be able to take the pieces and put the rest together.
:)

As for cost to maintain it for the rest of the world --

Look, if you have, say a team of 3-4 people, and your mandate is mainly one to support internal developers, and there is plenty to do there, you just aren't going to end up keeping external folks happy.
This is likely true of almost anything in the software world.
Even if it works, people want to see it evolve and continue to get better, no matter what "it" is.

If the next question is "why is internal so different from external that this matters", i could start by pointing out that, for example, internally it doesn't need to crawl svn, etc repositories to be useful. There are tons and tons and tons of things you don't need internally but need externally. What it takes for a feature to be "good enough" to be useful is also very different when you are talking about the world vs 20000 people.

So it's not really even a question of "cost to maintain" in some sense.

AI Fighter Pilots have been killing me in Flight Simulations for at least 30 years now using similar systems. From the paper, they basically use an expert system using something they call a Genetic Fuzzy Tree (GFT), which seems suspiciously like a Behavior Tree where the nodes are trained. They trained the GFT then had it go up against itself where Red team was the 'enhanced' AI and Blue was supposed to be the human (this part was odd to me).

After they completed the training they put it up against real veteran pilots and the AI basically did a few things. It would take evasive maneuvers when fired upon and fire when in optimal range. That's pretty much it. And you know what? That's really all modern pilots need to do. It's amazing what they did with Top Gun, making this stuff not look boring. In the end of the day it's just wait for some computer to tell you that you have target lock and press a button. If attacked, take evasive maneuvers and pray. Takeoff and landing on a Carrier is the scariest part.

I'm quite curious how this system would perform in WWII era dogfights where you had to worry about the stress on your plane, had to deal with engines that failed and stalled all the time and maneuvers that were much slower and closer to the enemy (plus no missiles).

Even so, I enjoyed reading the paper (not the article) so would recommend it if you're into Game AI at all.

You also have to think about who the audience was (Unix users) and what they were used to (Gopher, irc, plaintext email). With all of those technologies they were used to being in control of the styling of what they consumed. One person's styles for irc could be completely different than another's, and that was fine. The idea that things should be published with one rigid style which must be used to consume it was foreign and not all that attractive.

You could make a case that the only reason any of this happened when it did was because the browsers were reducing the amount of control the end users had on the page styling. If Mosaic had been super configurable in it's styling, it's possible it would have taken even longer for CSS to come about.

Im happy to reproduce in other formats. The contents are still random which is the crux of the issue here.
If you have a lot of files or a lot of lines that get changed, eventually it just cuts off and says "Diff is too large" and won't show me the remaining files, so I have to do the diff manually at the command line. It sucks pretty bad.

(Note: our rules suggest small PRs, but occasionally, especially for large rewrites or large features, the PRs can be huge. Lack of pagination makes code reviews extremely difficult, since it just stops showing files, rather than saying "The rest of the files are on the next page.")
DSSSL looks amazing. Truly a shame it didn't catch on. Maybe we'd have a client-side Lisp instead of Javascript too.

I think people underestimate the cost of vertical length. It's less obvious in small examples, but there's a huge difference in readability between a class or function that fits on one page and one that doesn't, so it's well worth making individual lines a bit less readable if it means you need less of them.
Not often I see something flagged off the front page, but given how badly written that article is, I can see why.
Java and Groovy, mostly. More Groovy (via Grails) for web specific stuff, sometimes plain vanilla Java for backend services. Nothing is off the table though... I'll happily use Scala, C++, Haskell, Python, Rust, Go, or Intercal, if there's a good justification for it in a specific situation.

State can be stored in instance variables as well, and should be if many small functions share them, it's what objects are for.
Some other resources that have served me well - not for incorporation per se, but the next few steps in setting up a healthy corporation:

- Docracy.com has some good templates (contributed by some incubator I can't recall) for bylaws, ip assignation, founder terms, terms of service and privacy policy and customer contracts, etc.

- Listing a phone number with one of the large online directories helps with various verifications (including EV SSL if you need it and facebook page)

- insureon.com to shop for insurance.

- Get bookkeeping software. Right away, and keep it up to date

Sorry MrBra, poetics don't usually translate very well.

I'm trying gauging if there is a market for Artworks from a Engineering perspective. It's near and dear to me, but the money just doesn't seem there, support the Arts and all that.

The project is trying to create meaningful Art (paintings) for a technical minded audience. To do this we expose an API for submissions and have a simple web flow for submissions. The content of these submissions is arbitrary, I use them like one would use posters in a collage[1]. As fragments of the whole.

There are no examples of my work, nor will there be. It's up to you to jump in. For that, we have the docs.

While I can certainly detect a bunch of content-free mood affiliation designed to appeal to those who dislike technological liberationists, I can't tell what the point of this article is.

First: In the real world, this has led to a pathology where the tech sector maximizes its own comfort. You don't have to go far to see this. Hop on BART after the conference and take a look at Oakland, or take a stroll through downtown San Francisco...

Second: Techies will complain that trivial problems of life in the Bay Area are hard because they involve politics. But they should involve politics.

So first he's criticizing techies for not fixing the pathologies of Oakland. Then he's saying these problems are rightly the domain of politics. So what's the problem? Those are political problems, should be left to politicians, and techies are doing exactly that.

Finally: In a world where everyone uses computers and software, we need to exercise democratic control over that software.

Aha - so first techies are not solving problems that the author thinks they should be leaving to politicians. From this he draws the conclusion that techies - currently doing a great job of solving the problems within their domain - should bow down and submit to control by the politicians who failed to solve the local problems he cares about.

Another choice line: If after decades we can't improve quality of life in places where the tech élite actually lives, why would we possibly make life better anywhere else?

Why would we do something that benefits far away humans over something that benefits nearby humans? Don't help those foreigners (or people in NY)! Build a wall! Trump 2016! (Same idea, just directed at a slightly different target.)

"We started out collecting this information by accident, as part of our project to automate everything, but soon realized that it had economic value."

Is he saying the end results of the project to [insert stated project purpose here], e.g., "to automate everything", "to organize the world's information", etc., did not have enough economic value to sustain the project... and hence founders were "forced" to collect data as a means to generate value?

Here's another version: pre-Google search engines realized they could sell ad space, i.e., paid placements, e.g., to auto manufacturers.

Once the advertising industry became involved, then collecting data about the network's users, if one could do it, was a no-brainer.

"... really it's just the regular old world from before, with a bunch of microphones and keyboards and flat screens sticking out of it."

Not sure that young people who worship Silicon Valley want to believe this, and why should they?

The author always makes a good case for the potential long term consequences of the so-called "changes to the world" that many programmers are adamantly pursuing.

Maybe these programmers are not changing the world. Maybe they're just doing what others already did in the past, on a smaller scale, without the benefit of cheap electronics.
...Eventually. It takes quite a while to get there, and still treats the question as legitimate, when it's loaded and really makes no sense.
