Just so you don't think I'm a total flake...I tried 3 different "temp email" services and while i got them working, it seemed difficult to be able to log back into them once you create them and one of them only lasted for a few hours or something...so if I missed your reply (if you did reply) its not me being rude or an ass, its just that those email things didn't work quite as i expected them to work...

LOL..i have to chuckle somewhat at the typical experience that this sort of thing is for my life and the irony of it :) Thanks for the offer anyway...it just doesn't seem like its meant to be or whatever and i of course do not want to give out any identifying information.
Standards can change when necessary, in a way that gives all participants in the market ample warning, so that no one goes bankrupt when the big companies suddenly change direction.

When PCI was introduced, motherboard manufacturers gradually increased the number of available PCI slots and reduced the number of ISA slots until the point where most of the market really didn't want that last ISA slot as much as they needed another PCI slot. ISA is still a standard. Nobody uses it because PCI was better. Likewise, AGP appeared, and then went away, because PCIe is better. Wi-fi standards have likewise evolved, from A, to B, to G, to N, to AC. Many devices are backward-compatible.

But an ATX motherboard manufactured last week will still fit in the ATX tower case I bought in 1999, with a power supply I bought in 2009. The original manufacturer of that case does not need to stock parts for it, or even still be in business, because if I want another 120mm case fan, 10 different companies can sell me a new one that will fit (and 20 more would be willing to buy a fan from one of the former 10, stencil a logo on it, and resell it to me at a markup).

Perhaps it would be better to enforce a mandatory standard for 10 years, to establish it in the market, then make it voluntary again, so that innovation could occur. Once a standard exists, there has to be a really good reason for deviating from it, otherwise the market quickly allows the non-standard thing to fail. If it succeeds, it becomes a new de facto standard, and the official standard is likely to either adopt it outright or make the next version compatible.

I think you absolutely do have to coerce a standard if one does not already exist. But after it exists, it is largely self-enforcing.

To buck off the standard entirely, you literally have to be the size of Apple. And even then, I know for certain that there is at least one person alive that refuses to buy Apple hardware in part because of their proprietary connector shenanigans in a world where USB is a standard.

None of those conditions is sufficient to push you above borderline obesity (~30 BMI). To get beyond that requires something else. I will not subscribe to the GP's notion that "something else" is necessarily a "very critical character flaw", but I also will not accept that it is out of the control of the person in question.

Yeah, it was for sure recognized as a public health problem in 1981.

AZT was approved by the FDA in 1987, with some federal funding to pay for it. Which is the real story of why people survive it today, drugs were developed to treat it. But the attitudes of front line doctors in 1990 wouldn't have much to do with the development of those drugs.

One strategy I've used against my poor eating habits is to eat something like broccoli when I want a large serving. A huge serving with a modest amount of butter is ~200 calories.
Good luck handling first three with discipline. Make sure to run a placebo controlled trial of "discipline" and compare to results of insulin and thyroid hormones. You won't be able to, because it is considered unethical for a good reason.

> I've gotten in the habit of flagging cabs for black people, and even after the cab stops, sometimes when they realize that it's a black person getting in the cab instead of me, they drive off.

Good on you. This is terrible - I've never been to NYC but I always hear from black people down there how difficult it is to flag a cab. Wasn't aware that it was still happening to this extent in 2016. The fact that the cab stops and then it drives away right after they find out it's not you entering is disgusting. To be honest I'd rather they drive away than I give my hard earned money to a person or corporation that clearly looks down on me and hates me to such an extent that they are willing to NOT take my money. You say Uber offers a solution to this - what is it? Meh, maybe I'm pessimistic but I don't believe any company (not even AirBnb) can provide enough incentives to mitigate this kind of stuff happening.
They are cleaning up the code, which I noticed when porting PostgreSQL to OpenSSL 1.1 and things were broken all over the place. I just think the code base is very bad to start with and the cleanup just start very recently.

I like the optimization, I don't like the fact that then the next rider will start calling the driver asking where he is/why he's going this direction/why he's taking so long etc.

That's barely different from the usual experience where the driver is jabbering away in Kreyol or Punjabi on his headset while the customer is in the back seat trying to tune it out.

> I have autoimmune hypothyroidism and didn't found yet a good treatment.

The treatment is taking the appropriate dose of levothyroxine. It's very unfortunate that you have had a string of shitty GPs and endos, but to treat it you need someone to measure your T3 and TSH levels while gradually ratcheting up the synthetic hormone dose until your numbers are in the acceptable range.

You'd have "given" away a large chunk of that in interest and property taxes over that time anyway. Plus you'd be on the hook for maintenance and upkeep. A single major repair on a house can pay for an entire year of rent in cheaper areas.

In other words, when renting, the upper bounds for housing costs is $9600/yr. While when owning, the lower bounds for housing costs is mortgage * 12, and you'll maybe get a small % of that back when you sell.
What? That macro is super straightforward. Yes, generating C++ templates from CPP macros is a little ugly, but it's not particularly hard to understand.

I apologize for the swipe at "toy languages". I tried using more common languages like the usual scripting crowd, but it wasn't successful, mostly for performance reasons. Python in particular is frustrating since the very own spec prevents pretty much all optimizations and you can't even call a function without stirring the heap.

I don't advocate a full type-safe language. In Common Lisp I generally don't have to declare any types. The compiler points out obvious, unavoidable type problems that it can deduct, e.g. inside a function that has some typed things such as literals. I can then add types as I like, to both variables and function interfaces, and the compiler points out more.

Another property of Common Lisp is that if you add type declarations they speed up your code if you compile with speed==high and safety==low. But you can also compile your code with safety set higher than speed. In that case a compiler like SBCL turns your declarations into runtime type assertions.

Then you run your automated tests in both modes and you have higher confidence in the code.
Until Uber is cheaper than the subway (maybe with self-driving cars?), I totally agree that taking the subway in NYC generally makes more sense. But compared to taking a taxi, Uber is a way better experience. In taxis I'm always stressed out the whole time making sure that the driver isn't going the long way to jack up the fare.

I'm not sure about hate, but I dislike it for a variety of reasons. It's basically been a huge goldrush, the community has involved some very shady characters and certainly still involves a lot of digital goldbugs.

It gets pushed as a universal method of payment, for which it is ill suited at present die to blocksize concerns, as an investment (you aren't really 'investing' in anything, IMHO), as a currency-replacement (with a fixed amount? Hullo gold standard) and all sorts of things.

It also burns through an absolute ton of electricity, as the tradeoff for decentralisation. Personally, I'm not actually terrified of centralised banks and managed currency...

There were prior systems designed to be effectively immune to many forms of code injection or DOS from external input. They used tagged CPU's, verified protocols, separation kernels, app-level firewalls on PCI cards, etc. Many were connected to the Internet without any reported breaches.

They're mainly mutually exclusive in the common case due to lack of adoption of high-assurance techniques for security. Hell, even medium that knocks out low-hanging fruit doesn't usually get adopted. So, the problems we see were an inevitable result for all the mainstream stacks and security tech.

I don't see a problem with this - most browsers with "other" or reduced functionality are niche products at best. They're relative cheap to provide and they don't affect the greater web itself.

If you get right down to it, what you need to make a web page work is HTML. That's it - WebGL and WebRTC are interesting, but the web isn't going to die if one browser doesn't include them. Lynx still works fine without them, after all.

I'm seeing a lot of alarmism from people who I'm guessing have vested interest in those products, completely forgetting that Chrome, Firefox, Explorer and Safari (in no particular order) are what drive the current state of the modern browser.

My neighbor is Head of Emergency for one of the largest hospitals in my city. He has said that a large part of Emergency Room cases are due to lifestyle choices whether it is Drugs, Alcohol or being Over Weight. Problems related to being over weight from Heart conditions, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure account for the largest portion of visits. He said the single most important thing you can do for your health is to maintain a healthy weight. It will prevent many ailments later in life.

What sort of guidance does Swift provide here? And nothing prevents Rust or C++ compilers from becoming aware of these types and providing specialized diagnostics for them.
In '95 I remember going to an excellent Smalltalk course. A year later that lecturer was working for IBM on Java. IBM '96 also bought and then shifted an excellent Software Configuration Management System by OTI towards Java (aka. Eclipse). IBM contributed a huge part of Java networking code too.

Java seems to be leaving a gap for various technical reasons. Java also may be seen by some as having strategic challenges under the Oracle stewardship. Go, Swift, Node and others are currently trying to exploit it.

Java took off not the least due to IBM stepping into the SUN court. Now IBM steps into the Apple court...
How many companies can survive a year without revenue? None I've ever worked at. Not only that, but their readmission after that year is uncertain! Mozilla gets to pick an auditor (raises hand! pick me!) that gets full access to their code. This is, I think, a higher bar than a new CA would have to clear.

StartCom is a popular CA. Distrusting previously-issued certificates would be extremely disruptive. Moreover, it would primarily punish StartCom's customers, and not WoSign, which as a business is primarily concerned with forward revenue.

You see this as leniency, but I see it as a powerful step forward. The browsers and CAs had previously been locked in a Mexican Standoff, with abusive CAs fully aware of the leverage their userbases offered them.

To me, the Strings API is one of the best things about Swift. Strings are complicated and as Mike Ash says in that very article, "Swift doesn't sugar-coat it, but instead shows you the reality of what's going on. This can be difficult, but it's no more difficult than it needs to be."

This is one reason why I'm so happy about the Raspberry Pi. It is not that the Pi as such added anything to the world that wasn't there before.

I can now have the whole stack of SBCL with SLIME and all the other Lisp toys on the Pi.
You just forget the body is made of more than fat.

Yes, eating less calories than I use will make me lose weight, but where that weight will come from? Nothing guarantees it will be from fat.

For example right now my hair, nails and skin is breaking, and I am losing muscle. But when I raise my food intake, I get an increase in fat, and my nails, hair, muscle and so on continue fucked up. But when I cut calories, they get worse faster, but the fat remains.
