> Can you give any examples of reactions between food ingredients making people sick?

Without commenting on whether this applies to the case at hand: the medical term "potentiate" refers to one substance increasing the effects of another; one substance can also decrease the effect of another. Neither substance in isolation causes a problem, but the two taken together can cause harm.

One common example: you shouldn't drink milk or other high-calcium foods with some types of antibiotics (such as those based on tetracycline), because the calcium binds to the antibiotic and prevents absorption.

A less well-known example: drinking grapefruit juice with various different medications (such as blood-pressure reduction medications, some antihistamines, and some statins that lower cholesterol) can prevent the drug from breaking down as quickly, increasing the concentration in your system, such that it builds up as you take more. That interaction can kill you in various ways, such as increasing the effect of the drug in question, or destroying your kidneys.
A big reason for being such, is that of familiarity and muscle memory. Note all the bellyaching about Windows 8's start screen.

Heck, i don't mind claiming that the _nix DEs did best when they were trying to emulate Windows rather than dream up their own.
Leaked like they released most of the tracks on youtube already? Honestly just sounds like a Metallica cover band now.

I didn't get into minimalism as a fad or even something I read on the web. I simply moved to another country and could only bring what would fit in my suitcase. As a result I got rid of a lot of the stuff I had accumulated during my life, I got rid of almost everything I owned. As soon as I did it, I was overwhelmed with a sensation of freedom and peace of mind that I can't compare to anything else.

Another major simplification I've done was to dress almost the same everyday. I own multiple items of the same clothes. All my tshirts are the same, all my socks/underwear are the same. I also buy the same shoes and jeans again and again. I look better and I feel much better!

I also quit all social media except LinkedIn and HN and stopped reading the news.

The thing I'll try next is to eat the same meals everyday. Maybe it won't work but I'll try it.

I would also like to live in a bedroom with not much more than a futon and a desk. But it's going to be hard because my girlfriend doesn't share my enthusiasm.

This is anecdotal, take it with skepticism if you want, but I regard this changes as some of the best decisions I made in my life.
For those that do not have time to read the whole thing, #29 is worth quoting:

"Stuart Kurtz (University of Chicago, 2050, P!=NP) [on wether and when proof will be found]:

Knowing Ketan Mulmuley, I live in
fear that the solution will be via algebraic geometry, and it will come soon enough that I’ll
be expected to understand it. An alternative nightmare is that the undergraduate who solves
it will publish his solution in French."

But it is by far not the only funny opinion in this paper.
I prefer an "always local first" approach. Before Docker, it was Vagrant + VirtualBox for dev, some VPS hosting company for prod. With docker, it's basically the same thing (better, though, imo), but I no longer think much about the virtual machine on which the docker daemon is hosted and instead rely on boot2docker, Docker Machine, and now Docker for Mac for the local side. For prod, I've used Docker Machine to setup docker daemon hosts on Digital Ocean, et al.

I'd like to worry even less about the container host and get comfortable with a system like Hyper, but it's important to me to get used to it running locally for dev prior to employing it "in the cloud" for prod.

Porn is more pleasing when the girl sounds and looks like girls that you know. It gives it a more realistic feel. So consumers actually do care where the porn is made.

"Mainline support is also progressing well. With some patches you can get temperature regulation, HDMI support, audio support now on mainline kernel."

Patches to get HDMI and audio? More work needed I think.

"Video decoding is also progressing as someone noted in other comments."

So it doesn't work out of the box then?

"SoC on Orange PI PC is also very nice for people who care about not having binary blobs running show on some hidden internal processor."

AllWinner is a GPL violator: http://linux-sunxi.org/GPL_Violations

"Allwinner is also not that bad at releasing code/datasheets. They release a lot of code. The issue is that it is designed for old kernels (3.4, 3.10) so it's not directly usable/easily portable to newer kernels. But still it is helpful and community is actively working on mainlining the support for various SoC parts."

Allwinner does NOT cooperate with the linux-sunxi community. At all.

That's just the final peanut on the turd I think.

Minimalism via choice vs via circumstance :)
I've been wondering about this as well. Looking back, I guess I've always been kind "minimalist" (before it was cool, suckers). Liked running because less equipment. Went years without a car in Indianapolis where public transit was such a joke as to be almost non-existent. Seldom keep things around for "sentimental value". I just don't want things hanging around that take up space or need attention unless they serve some regular utility. (And for the record, my wife and I suck at being "minimalist", but we do put up a good fight. But no one's going to look in our garage and mistake us for Buddhist monks.)

But you have to keep constantly vigilant. Much like training for a marathon, where every day has at least some portion of it taken up by training, each meal involves making good decisions, and kiss your Sundays goodbye because you won't be doing much after that 20 mile run other than taking a nap. The minimalist weighs every potential purchase, has to figure out to get to that party without a car, has to figure out how to cook supper with a single spork. And like anything that takes up a significant portion of your day, you'll talk about it...constantly. At least for the first marathon. After that, you realize that no one else cares but you, so you learn to dial it back.

So like Paleo, CrossFit, and marathons, let's circle back in a few year as you suggest and see how it's going once the novelty wears off. Because all of the chatter of "minimalism" strikes me as n00bs all fired up about their new "hobby", and they'll quiet down when the new wears off and they want to watch a movie on something bigger than 10".
It gets depressing.

I pared down a lot of what I owned simply because I didn't use it and the clutter bothered me, plus I had to move apartments by myself.

At first, it was really great. No clutter, only what I needed, super basic life.

But then you walk into your apartment where you only have a (simple) bed and desk, maybe a few pieces of clothing on the ground and you feel empty and depressed. It isn't because I want stuff... I actually really don't like buying things (that is another aspect: I have major anxiety around money so I hoard money, which is convenient for a "minimalist". Think "money anorexic") It just feels empty. Like another poster mentioned: it consumes you. You constantly have to consider the space / minimalism implications of buying something. It is weird to describe.

Yeah, all of this sounds overly dramatic but I do feel sad when I look at my apartment some times.

My partner is pushing me to buy a couch because they don't like laying in my bed when they come over. Also it is a little embarrassing to pull out the sleeping bag and air mattress when I have guests come over...
Sort of, it's the least successful known, in that all others managed to light off a successful "full power" device on their first try, their first was a sub-kiloton fizzle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_North_Korean_nuclear_test).

However, one should note that they're part of a worldwide network of nations trying to achieve nuclear status sub rosa, they're definitely not doing it all by themselves. And of course their nomenklatura that's executing this nuclear program is by definition not starving. But the bulk of the nation is, and rather uniquely, that includes the army, and that has decisive implications on their ability to wage a general war against the South.
There's aesthetic minimalism and lifestyle minimalism. These two can overlap but often they clash, and are largely different movements.

I'm trying to figure out why minimalism gets such a negative reaction from people. Is it because aesthetic minimalism is too popular on instagram/tumblr, and now it's cool to hate on the popular thing? No one's forcing you to get rid of your stuff, no one's forcing you to read minimalism blogs.
I'm a fan of Soylent but I wouldn't say things like 'Soylent prides itself on rapid product development—an ideal popularized by Google and Facebook Inc.'

Things that are going into my body should not be rapidly developed and released. It's slightly different than Facebook launching a new feature that may or may not break.
We're talking about 'murica here...
Lots of people think heroin should be legal. I'm one of them. Keeping heroin illegal creates a lot of the harms associated with it - contaminated product; unsafe injecting; acquisitive crime and prostitution.

Plenty of harmful stuff is legal. The solution isn't to make it illegal, but to do better at educating people about harm reduction.
> Addressing the claim that minimalism is for the elite, I think its a result for people who have the luxury of time and money to take a thorough look at their life needs, have the time and structure in their life to have long term goals and then organize their life to fit those goals and optimize their things around their life which is centered around a busy work schedule.

There is a component of elitism here. If you're poor, you hang on to stuff, because it may come in handy. If you have enough money and some left over, you can get rid of stuff, because if it turns out you really needed one of the things you got rid of, you can buy a new one. But if you can't afford the new one, you keep stuff "just in case".

But, even if minimalism may require a certain level of financial not-on-the-edge, for many of us, it's not a pose. For myself, I just hate clutter. As Paul Graham said, a cluttered scene takes more mental energy to parse. If there's enough clutter that you have to move around stuff, it takes more physical energy just to walk across the room. I don't have time in my life for that kind of waste.
While I think legalising prostitution would be beneficial, I think there is an argument that doing so would lead to more trafficking, which should not be ignored. Namely, that legalising prostitution may increase demand much more than it increases consensual supply, thus creating a larger market for trafficked prostitutes.
I haven't used Photoshop but applications like Visual Studio allow similar configurability while still having fairly standard window controls.

I also haven't heard the same level of complaints that Blender gets about its competition. Presumably, there's solutions.
That's more entertainment than a real documentary.
"Python for C programmers" would probably make much more sense (following "C for Assembly programmers").
Outside of the GUI angle, that makes me think of booting DOS.

Something didn't work out quite right? Comment out a line or two from the boot files and hit reset.

Damn it, i still run Linux that way. Having stuff conditionally start or stop just makes my head hurt.
Well, let me just say that my statement is most definitely still incompatible with yours: the YPG/J are one of the most well-trained, disciplined, and professional army in the entirety of the Middle East. Yes, they rival that of the IRGC in Iran and the TSK in Turkey, but not quite on the level IDF in Israel.

Their only shortcoming is the lack of heavy weaponry and high-tech training. That kind of specialty requires special connections or domestic heavy industry.

How did they become so effective? I would put it as two parts: 1) do-or-die as you said, and 2) rich history of duty, service, and honor. The former is pure grit and there is no shortage of that on the radical Islamist side of things but the latter requires a personal and social investment that is far more rare.
Totally agree about the problem of interruption in basic messaging.

Mattermost added threaded messaging to avoid this, and at least for me it works really well: https://www.mattermost.org/what-slack-might-learn-from-its-o...

Anyone can look at the Mattermost product or code base to see how we added it--open to feedback on our implementation as well.
Can we please stop calling out nearly every project that uses GPL (3) and call it restrictive? I know there are different opinions and arguing which is "better" nearly always leads to a philosophical debate on principles that gets us nowhere.

Sorry if this sounds snarky, and I do not blame you in particular, but it is just a theme I have encountered here the last years that I find toxic as it portrays the GPL (and FSF) as some evil organization that would restrict "developer's rights".
But I don't think I've ever known a single person in my relatively long life that would go on and on about bird watching

Quick Facts:
> Needs a decent set of audio data to work with, 30 minutes of audio book will do
> They are working on watermarking the waveform some how try and hamper it being used to impersonate people in a illegal way.

Obviously bringing this tech to the masses is an interesting development. In a post Donald Trump world, anything we can do to get people to use critical thinking is great, perhaps eventually we will all develop a photoshop radar for audio too. Its still pretty crazy to me what we will be able to produce with audio and visual manipulations on the fly, as well as advanced AI.
Like vim or emacs?

Yes. There's reasons the popularity of those is waning.

It's called "tiled window management". Lots of people find it more comfortable to use than the classic overlapping windows.

It's got nothing to do with tiling. There's plenty of other software out there that's meant to be used with tiled windows. The interactions in Blender are unique to Blender, non-intuitive and non-discoverable.

movdqu, obviously. And the code is shorter now, I guess it drops this part responsible for processing the first 1~3 elements of the array to reach 16B alignment.
Any time your argument boils down to, "we have to keep information from people because they are too stupid and it will confuse them", you should be opposed. The same garbage argument was trotted out (successfully) by the beef producers and testing for mad cow disease. If you don't want to test your meat for mad-cow, then don't! But don't tell me I'm not allowed to test mine because you say there is no risk. If you don't think GMO's are an issue, then saturate your body with them. Go ahead and mutate every cell in your body as far as I'm concerned. But don't tell other people they don't have the right to information because you say they don't need it. Sickening hubris.
One problem I have with this article is that it treats minimalism as something new. Minimalism has recurred throughout history, from Buddhist philosophy, to the Roman stoics, to medieval Christian monks, to Japanese culture, to Islamic art, to modernist art. Taste seems to oscillate between baroque and minimalist. It's not surprising that minimalism is in vogue during the current age of internet driven over-stimulation.

You seem to have misinterpreted my simple question as statement of disbelief? Why would you do that, since I explicitly asked for statements of people who where around at the time? confused

(Perhaps I misread you - in that case: thanks to the grand-parent comment for sharing :) ).
One important differentiating factor between this and other (consumer) HMD's is the scanning display.

The Oculus et al need to render a rectangular matrix of evenly spaced pixels. If you want a larger field of view or higher resolution this comes with an exponential increase in number of pixels. With a high frequency scanning display and eye tracking you are not locked to a static spatial resolution (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveated_imaging).

There's a whole bunch of other problems when it comes to a render pipeline for something links this, but at least on the physical front it enables super high perceived resolution with less overall points of light to render.
>If you’re sensing we don’t recommend Gimp very highly, we don’t. Gimp’s downside is difficult to discuss tactfully. Gimp suffers from forever living in the shadow of Photoshop. Gimp’s development is also closely tied to both Richard Stallman’s GNU values and the GTK+ widget toolkit. For the final time, your humble author will quit trying to rewrite this paragraph to explain what’s wrong with Gimp, and just scream “POLITICS!” and then run away. You figure it out.

Heh. Whenever you ask someone who doesn't work with image editors professionally (that doesn't mean "use it quite often", it means, having real-world deadlines depend on productivity), they'll point out how many "features" Gimp shares with Photoshop. But features don't mean shit. The interface is a bulky mess. Tons of "little" things don't quite work as expected. And then, when it comes to the truly heavy-weight features, of course Gimp doesn't compare.

Out of curiosity, I tried installing Gimp to see how much has changed (for the better?) since I last checked it out. The tool interface doesn't quite fit into its window by default so you have a tiny little scrollbar at the bottom that you have to scroll to see the full text. I resized it. After popping out a submenu, it once again didn't fit.

Free/open software projects are so idealistic, I kinda want to support it. But it's so rare that anybody in these communities gets interface design. It's not unheard of (Firefox is a positive example in my book) but it's rare. Photoshop's main advantage is it's clean interface: http://f64academy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/The-Interfa...

I agree. My computer science classes were taught almost entirely in C. Learning C-like languages is pretty easy, but I constantly feel like I'm using Python incorrectly. I feel like I'm trying to take what is elegant in C and implement it in Python, even though what is elegant in Python is very different.

Written in Django, got some HN love a while ago - no signups for a while now but we have over 500 accounts that signed up at some point. About 20 sprang for the "Pro" version at $10/month. We even had a customer pay $50/month for an API version integrated directly into their site.

It's used to have your customers send their browser details directly to your inbox. Just point them at your site such as http://example.browser-details.com (CNAMEs with custom domain possible).

Created to scratch our own itch: previously, most of our customer would be hard-pressed to name their browser version so it was very helpful in development. Uses an external API to map the user agent string to browser make/version.

Interesting trades considered. ;-)

The whole point of bringing in the discipline associated with release notes and iterations is to make it a lot more transparent than existing food producers. The only problem is that they are not transparent enough with exact quantities and processes anymore.

However, their process is supposed to decrease the number of issues not increase it.
what about people who just want to make money and don't care about the patient?
> Blender suffers from the habit of redesigning its entire interface every other version, although it seems to have calmed down lately.

I think this is a bit misleading. The last major UI overhaul was in 2011 with blender 2.57. Since then the UI has changed very little. There have been many new features, sure, but I can't think of anything that would be exceptionally disorientating.
Take a look at K&R C, and work through the problems without looking at the answers. Though it's a bit dated, I'd still recommend it to anyone who wants to learn C.
