I want to live in a place where I can ride my bicycle year round in dry weather, where I don't have to drive to get to work or do stuff, where there's a vibrant cultural life, and where there's a wide range of excellent restaurants (with a sufficiently lively scene that there are often new things to try). I'd also like to be able to easily go skiing in the winter.

Would genuinely love to hear your suggestions on where else I can get all that.

Is the pain because it is ASP.NET MVC, or because you're trying to save an outsourced project? I've done that, and I've done greenfield MVC projects; one of these is much more painful than the other.
Then what point are you actually trying to make here? The original comment I made was that this research is irrelevant in regards to CICO. I stand by that a precise formula for what to eat is largely useless in the everyday sense, unless you're developing something akin to Soylent, which could be considered an engineering endeavor.
Azure now has full LB and VM IPv6 support
Agreed, although to do this at acceptable cost you'll often also want a decent build system (a la blaze, that can rebuild and re-test just what needs rebuilding and re-testing) and a lot of CI slaves. That's not a typical setup.

Right now build systems don't even do the "build and test the final commit" bit right; it should of course test against a pre-merge (not on the branch) but again that tends to be a pain to set up.

"No one wants to be around people who don't take care of themselves and ooze of negativity and desperation. "

To be fair, nobody wants to be around people who reek of judgment and pass off simple answers to complex problems like they're brilliant insights.

Anyway, you kind of proved my point, so thanks. Regardless, I should mention that I am the same person, with (I imagine) largely the same character, as I was before. I think my own issues had a lot to do with 1) the diet which Americans are encouraged to have, and 2) our built environment.

For the first, US culture has so drastically lost sight of what a proper portion is that many people genuinely don't know what a healthy portion is. When I was in my early 20's I had always been fed way too much, and my college meal plan was all you can eat and based on number of meals per week (encouraging someone to think they should take as much as possible). Coupled with that, the exercise people recommended was EXACTLY the wrong exercise for a heavy, self-loathing person. Running is AWFUL. Getting acquainted with the elliptical does help a lot (though exercise, while wonderful for general health, is of limited benefit for weight loss).

For the second, we have built our cities so that you get pretty much no exercise whatsoever in the course of a normal day. The walk from the parking lot to the store, the office, and home is what most people get.

Anyway, what worked for me was aggressively counting every single calorie I ate, living in a place where I could have a 7 mile round trip bike commute (with a brutal climb on the way home), and making meals that could still be big and filling but low calorie - mostly gigantic mountains of vegetables prepared without oil.

That's really interesting. How was your body able to continue to acquire the calories to gain more fat and eventually become obese with such strict controls on diet. Does the body a mechanism for drawing calories from the atmosphere?

Not really related to this but I think you would be surprised how often this is not the case. I've been involved in many big contracts where I've realized no actual lawyers have been involved at all.
Wont link, but will say changetip was a part. Most was done through me providing something in digital form and people sending coin direct to my account number which I used to display on my twitter. Sometimes random people would just send coin to your number so I used to display it. Did not mean to imply that I just tweeted and people sent me money, although that did happen frequently enough.

NSS can forcibly set trust bits for certificate chains -- so in theory they could set the codesigning only trustbit.

ButI'm pretty sure Windows is not using NSS as its truststore for those checks. So its up to Microsoft to deal with the de-trusting (which may or may not be modular, I have no idea).
The decision by Mozilla has absolutely no bearing on Chromium. Although Chromium indirectly uses the NSS root store when run on a Linux distro that uses the NSS root store, the logic proposed by Mozilla will be implemented at a higher layer than the root store, meaning Chromium won't be affected by it.
"You optimize what you measure". Seems like incentivizing repair itself could lead to problems. Maybe the focus should be product longevity or components that can be repurposed, if the end goal is to reduce waste.
In a totally different direction, share-ability could also do a lot to cut down on waste. There are a lot of products in the world where every individual doesn't need to own one, but only needs periodic access.

Getting more people to vote is nice, but ultimately you're still stuck with the duopoly [1] of parties. Why isn't there a big push to change the voting system to something that would allow better representation in Congress?

A whopping 49% of Americans are registered as Independents, which leaves only half of Americans that truly feel like they're represented by the only two choices they're given every 2/4 years: the Democratic and Republican parties.

That almost seems criminal to me. How can the only two viable parties (with the current voting system) represent only half the country at any given point in time? And the number of people that are registered as Democrats and Republicans drops every election. This is a democracy crisis, and people need to start treating it like one.

If Sam Altman and the others in YCombinator really care about democracy, they should also support organizations such as FairVote.org and help them change the voting system city by city, and state by state, until it eventually happens everywhere.

Oh, and just one of the many benefits of switching to a proportional representation voting system[2], or at least a single-winner ranked-choice[3] one? It gets more people to vote because they now feel better represented by the available viable candidates.

Isn't that nice?

The only problem with the break-up is that it results in the moderations of "not appropriate for this forum" when e.g. you ask about effects of say SSD cloud storaage on your app performance and you're asking on stackoverflow instead of serverfault or soemthing.

And the moderation is not helpful in migrating your question to the other forum either.

One analogy might be if the US were split into 50 states with their own, strict, immigration policies.
I remember a friend of mine and I did co-op in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil with the help of a Gameshark. The only problem was that the portals in the game that teleported you to different areas would cause the player's screen who used it to freeze. The exciting part though was being able to go straight to the last boss in co-op mode and have that work without any issue.

Reshaping web defenses with strict Content Security Policy
I love the idea colonizing our sister planet Venus. Nearly identical in size and composition to Earth - but so volatile. Mining resources would there would be practically impossible due to the pressure on the surface, never mind the cataclysmic surface turn-over events. On top of that, due to the lack of a magnetosphere, solar winds often react directly with Venus' upper atmosphere...

On Mars we might be able to build large stables domes, or close off caverns for additional radiation shielding. We could mine the planet itself for resources, and even grow crops there.
I'm not going to defend WoSign/StartCom's shady tactics, but the way the deprecation of SHA1 was performed puts people in a pretty shitty position.

You can't support Windows XP users who use IE anymore with HTTPs.

In the western world, that number is very small. It's around 1% still using XP and most of those people are probably not using IE anymore.

In china though, that number is still >5%, and I got that number personally from the metrics of a game that we just deployed an alpha for in China. I would bet that given the way the alpha test keys were handed out that the amount of Windows XP users in the general population is probably much much higher.

So what is the response if you can't support a significant portion of your user base? Well for a bunch of chinese websites the result is don't use HTTPS at all. We have seen advice that "HTTPS cases problems for users in China so we think it's a bad idea to use it". It's not a good situation.
No, I didn't say that and I don't believe that, but thank you for asking.

This is awesome. Encouraging potential voters to engage, understand, and participate in democracy is a good thing. Once registered, hopefully they will stay registered and participate for the rest of their lives.

Besides the big name top of the ballot Presidential election there are many down ballot elections to consider. There are house elections, senate elections (in some states), local elections, as well as propositions, etc.

With the wall-to-wall coverage of the Presidential election, it is easy to forget that the wheels of our democratic American system turn at multiple levels.

E.g.: Your local school board matters. Your judges (if elected where you live) matter.

Hey! I work on Exponent. Basically, we don't make money right now. Our plan is to eventually help developers make money and take some cut of that. We're open source so you'll never be locked in if we start doing anything you don't agree with. We talk about it a little more at https://docs.getexponent.com/versions/latest/introduction/fa...
I am not a .NET developer. But, Core / Framework / Standard nomenclature is very confusing. Windows and Universal Windows Platform (UWP) also adds further confusion.

They should explicitly define namespaces :

1. XAMARIN namespace as cross platform APIs for .NET ecosystem - iOS, macOS, Android, Linux, may be Web ?

2. UWP/CASCADE ? namespace for Windows 10 systems.

3. WINDOWS namespace for backward compatible .NET Framework systems.
Belated thank you.

Nuget does get a little fun when you are dealing with a solution with multiple library projects that feed into a final executable. So far, I've either had to upgrade all versions of a Nuget package across projects, or spend a lot of time messing around with app/web.config assembly redirects.

At least the granularity of Nuget packages is not at npm-level fineness, although it does sort of feel like it is trending in that direction.
But there's also the fact that not investing in x-risk enables you to invest in economic and scientific growth, which themselves enable future x-risk reduction. However high the cost of an x-risk, it's entirely possible that the optimal response is to not directly invest in it at the moment. Someone worried about asteroid impacts in 1800 would be best off working towards economic growth or better telescopes or something like that. So there are still rational grounds to prefer some actions to others.
Jesus that headset! Looks like he's putting on a jetpack or something..
_packages are awesome. npm is weird and hellish because people write single-function packages, but that isn't the case in other ecosystems_

I have no knowledge of how NuGet works but is there anything in NuGet that is stopping the developers from writing/using single line packages?
> You can't support Windows XP users who use IE anymore with HTTPs.

Sure you can. Just ask a CA that has an old root trusted by XP but no longer trusted by modern browsers, and they'll issue a SHA-1 cert for you without risking to get kicked out of the truststores.
I'll be stealing this one. Die-hard liberal at 20 but experience has pushed me irrevocably towards libertarianism.
Judging from the form and FAQ it is easy to game this or practice fraud in order to have your loans forgiven. To really seal it up all you would need is a little help from someone in one of these non-profit organizations (Red Cross, etc..). If they ask for further proof like W2 you would just fail to follow through...very low risk in attempting to qualify using false information (fraud).
The problem is that governments services and organized police and military are effectives solution to many of the problems faced in medieval times.

I'm sorry but the guy said it is definitely a partisan endeavor, which I don't think it is. It is merely an effort to educate young voters for the need to register to vote. This demographic has been historically known to have a low voter turnout with only 46% of eligible voters[1] having voted in 2012 election.

These are entirely the result of socialization. Though the body is subject to natural selection and sexual dimorphism, the brain is subject only to the laws of Lysenkoism.
One thing we're always working on at Exponent is growing our set of native modules (for context, I work on Exponent). We believe you can build a very large set of apps without needing to write custom native code, and that set grows quickly as more libraries are ported from native to JS when possible and as we add more native modules to Exponent.

Exponent maintains native modules so they continue to work when React Native changes or when Android & iOS change their APIs. In particular, React Native is released every two weeks and we stay on top of the changelog so you don't have to regarding native modules. We also write native code for both platforms in tandem, often by the same engineer, so that we get coherent APIs that cover common features across both platforms and expose platform-specific capabilities neatly. We want Exponent to feel like a coherent project. All of the docs (and code) for Exponent's modules are in one place, and when you download the Exponent app for development you get all of the native modules right off the bat.

As a data point, the Android version of Li.st (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=st.li.listapp) is built on Exponent and was featured by Google in the Play Store. Li.st is currently one of the best examples of how far you can go with Exponent, and React Native for that matter. We're also on Slack (get an invite here: https://slack.getexponent.com) if you want to chat in real time.
The reason governments like it is because it is hard to avoid.
Yeah, when I was doing library stuff I used Mentor Expedition which has all kinds of stuff for speeding up footprint creation. Symbols can be time consuming for the various XXGAs because some of our customers have fairly... elaborate standards for visual appearance, pin locations, etc.

London Heathrow uses public railway for going between terminals, though there are also buses.

The metro has three stations at the airport, and the national railway network also has three. Using either system within the airport is free.

There are shuttle trains to travel within terminal 5. I guess that shows how huge the airport is.
It turns out that that the atmospheric mix of Earth's surface (of N₂ and O₂) would naturally settle at the atmospheric column very near where the temperature is pleasant by Earth standards. Such floating colonies would basically be completely palatable by Earth standsrds (albeit perhaps with temperatures more reminiscent of Australian outback or Qatar than those of Europe or the US).

Floating colonies present their own issues, but it would solve concerns about long-term low-gravity impacts of Mars or the challenges of requiring a fully-pressurized environment suit all the time outdoors.
The Venn diagram of HN and liberal overlaps a lot, but more than that it also tends to skew towards the "young, hyper-confident (perhaps arrogant) male who thinks they can fix every problem and basically knows better than everyone else" set. I've known plenty of liberals who are aware that being an asshole isn't magically OK because you're being an asshole to fat people. I am one.
It is clear whom they don't want them to vote but what's wrong in that. They are not forcing anyone - just enabling them. They want them not to sit this one out as this could make them regret for not voting when there was a chance.
I believe this was discussed a while back by Scott Hunter in his interview on the .NET Rocks Podcast, who is the PM of all the .NET Platform. He explains, almost apologetically, what all this entails. Needless to say this is not news. I do not follow .NET that much until Core meant Linux, so I listen to things like this.

The Problem with Amazon Alexa's Deprecation Strategy
In Common Lisp, files are in fact "modules" (or "compilation units") also. To treat multiple files as one unit, you have to use the with-compilation-unit macro:

http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/m_w_comp.htm

The packaging systems people use nowadays over CL are not a part of CL. The whatever subjective suckage they introduce is their own. If you want racket-style modules, hack them up.

The grandparent's observation that "modularization/package management turned out to be too verbose and archaic for my taste" is very ironic --- in particular, the "archaic" part. ASDF is from around the turn of the century (the 21st that is).

The big hurdle in CL modularization is something very trivial: the fact that a file cannot refer to neighboring files easily by a short path. There is no

(load "foo")

which will look for a "foo" in the same directory as the file which is invoking the load form.

This steers package management toward the external mode, whereby some definition exists outside of all the files and handles their inter-dependencies and the manner of actually locating the groups of files.

I fixed this in TXR Lisp, and so simple modularization is a cinch! You load some main file, and that just does (load "foo") (load "bar") ... to load its related files, no matter where they have been located.

I made load a macro, and that macro accesses the source file location at macro-expansion time, imbuing it into the resulting form that actually does the loading when evaluated. If the load path is relative, then the caller's path is used to resolve it, rather than the current working directory.
