Despite what Elon Musk says, fuel cells aren't dead in the slightest. Yes there has been some stagnation in innovation from the major players, buy there has also been some significant and ground breaking improvements in fuel cell efficiency in the past few years.

At least one company that I know of, Loop Energy, has proven (independently verified) fuel cell tech that will soon make cargo trucks 0-emissions. (Note: My brother was the lead engineer and basically developed this)

https://loopenergy.com/

Sure it has taken a while, but things like this would not have been possible without that initial investment in fuel cells.
I fondly remember Q2 as being "much less brown and with a railgun" which was enough for me to consider it worth playing over Q2.

Q3 was better, but 1999 also saw Unreal Tournament and Counter Strike, so I never looked back at Quake.

My old 4S runs annoyingly slow. According to the article,the NAND, as it ages will slow down the phone, so will replacing my storage make my iPhone fast again?
My experience is the opposite. And I'm definitely not blind to the Gell-Mann Amnesia, I notice it on Wikipedia all the time.

I've noticed that in The Economist the articles about my field of technology, work, and my small home country, have been accurate to the point that I suspect they have had experts in the field involved in creating them. That gives me confidence in the articles about issues I'm not intimately familiar with.

That is why The Economist is one of the few news sources I read after cutting out following daily news completely. As a result I'm much better informed about the facts and issues than I was when reading huge amounts of daily news. It boils down to a difference between consuming mostly noise and consuming mostly signal.
But nobody is forcing them to use Edge or Bing anymore than they were forced to use Goolge (which forces Google search on you).

They are equal, as anybody with rudimentary knowledge of biochemistry can tell. Modern processed food have the added benefit of micronutrient fortification so your need of vitamins should be met mostly in case you actually plan to follow that diet.

The appeal of a "balanced and natural" diet has a mostly puritan origin but its benefits are far from clear. The only proven method to delay the onset of aging is caloric restriction. Kale and supplements are mostly placebo.
As a great source for information about scientific results about health and nutrition, I usually recommend http://nutritionfacts.org/

If you like scientific papers but are not an expert in the nutrition field, this would be a great start.

I would also be interested in other's opinions about the site, e.g. if it is unfairly in favor of plant based diets.
A lot of white bread has actual sugar or high-fructose corn syrup in it as an ingredient. How much of that is to start the yeast and how much is for taste varies by brand.

Whole-grain/white can be misleading as far a sugar goes. I've had whole-grain brands that were so sweet that I couldn't stand to use them for sandwiches.
I tried a small windowed mean filter, which gave really bad results. I'll try implementing the median filter.

3 clear trends in ECS adoption
I find sleep/resume is successful when the proprietary driver is installed, nouveau isn't doing it doing it for me on Ubuntu derived 16.x distros (this month I have tried KDE Neon and Bodhi). The problem though, is that installing the drivers can be a pain. Last time I tried I soft bricked the PC and ended up doing a full reinstall to save time. As someone further down this thread said, what advantage is there these days in Nvidia not open-sourcing the drivers? They are still going to be selling the display cards.

The other problem for Linux I have encountered recently that burned through my free time was updateing the bios, there are no bios updates with Linux installers, which is annoying because the bios is update is OS agnostic. I had to create a bootable USB drive from a windows program (luckily I have a Windows PC for work) and boot from that. But the how-to guide from HP was lacking in details, and on one PC the program doesn't allow me to create the drive on one PC for use on another, so no bios update there.

The problems I have with Linux never seem to be to do with Linux, it is almost always hardware manufacturers being obstinate and refusing to share their toys with other adults.
The iPhone 6s was the first iPhone with more than 1gb of RAM. So, at least in that ecosystem, there's a long history of tight memory constraints. In non-Western countries there are lots of cheap and not-so-well specced Android phones, too.
That sounds very helpful! I'll give it a close read and see what I can come up with.
I am from a non-US, non-EU, non-UK country and the Economist coverage about my country isn't perfect but it's pretty decent.

> if you have GPL (or, usually, dual-licensed commercial/GPL) core for, say, document handling system, you can market it as open-source, take contributions, and build add-on business on it, but if a competitor comes out and wants to use your core, they now have to publish source for all their add-ons, so you can have them for free.

This is a bit tricky to pull off unless you get a copyright assignment or a license permitting relicensing from all contributors, or your GPL licensed core has a large exception carved out of it (say, for proprietary plugins).

This would be great for my stepdad. He has a tendency to cook enough of a single dish to feed himself for months (for example: buying a turkey after Thanksgiving, then making and freezing months' worth of turkey soup). Perhaps instead of packing his freezer full of soup, he could sell it to people on the Internet?
It does things that are not in your best interest. Like spying on you and serving you ads.

Why don't you use an OS that you don't have to fight against?
Yes, but its heyday was the 70s through mid-80s. The most recent use I'm familiar with was the OpenBoot firmware in OLPC laptops, though I've been out of it so long I wouldn't know what's current.

This idea that the right is voting against their best interest needs to die. The thing the left forgets is that poor people don't vote[1]. So what you have in these "poor" red states are lower-middle/middle class people who are already being stretched thin voting against their poor neighbors who they can't afford to support.

Like it or not Obamacare did cost middle class people money in the sense that their tax dollars went to pay for subsidies, their employers were required to spend more on health care, more demand for medical services drives prices higher and the individual mandate meant healthy people had to buy something they didn't want or be fined.

Universal healthcare, tax credits for the poor and cash welfare can all be viewed through the same lens.

Yes, it is an overly-broad generalization. Yet, how can one avoid generalizing when 9 of 10 friends / relatives fit the description with certainty?
If everything else is controlled for then yes, they should be able to attain a similar level of health and quality of life despite dietary differences.

The only proven harm of sugar is that it ruins your teeth. Tooth decay is relatively rare in Europe until the introduction of refined sugar. A small number of people have a hereditary condition that causes a painful reaction to the fructose component of sucrose and they get conditioned from early life to avoid all sweet foods. They tend to have immaculate teeth but are not otherwise more healthy than the general population.
Here's a video Dr. Robert Lustig explaining how the body metabolizes different sugars:

He gets into the chemistry around the 40 minute mark.
I had a job as principal bassoon in a symphony orchestra (80 musicians, so not a "full" orchestra with 4 in each wind group, but still decently sized). Tinnitus ruined that and I had to look for another job. I worked as a librarian in the royal music library in Denmark while studying CS. I did not end up doing what I wanted (Jesus Christ, I work in Pascal!) but I have a great job. I would throw it all out of the window to work with music again though.

The core thing for me is that music is all about "spiritually" feeding yourself. Employers realise this, and give you time to do that.

I find that for programming this is not the case. I have to struggle to keep my soulby continuously struggling to have fun side projects.
Heh. I thought I was the only one that did that.
I found this talk by Dr. Robert H. Lustig very interesting: "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM It has been previously discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1006980
One argument I've heard is that they fear patent lawsuits because it might give hints as to how their hardware works.
>There are forums of people who follow Ray Peat's ideas

Sorry, but this sounds like a personality cult. How about following the state of the art dietary advice?

Sure, consensus scientific advice can change over time, and be conflicting at times. But it will always be better than following some individual's opinions.

So, let's say that you call yourself a specialist in crunching data about agricultural matters. You go up to farmers and say "I have lots of data about estimating the ideal amount of phosphate to use. It could save you big money." Then the farmers say "Wow, I didn't want a data scientist, but I do want a guy to help me cut costs. Thanks!"

I'm not sure that this blows the client away tbh. I had much more success with being critical but within reason. If a client suggests a feature I do not believe will work or is not worth the time, my approach is to agree that this is technically possible and it will take X amount of time with Y drawbacks (e.g. harder to maintain in the future, manual effort later on). And then I'll tell them my opinion about it from a business perspective. I don't push in any direction and make it clear that if this is what they want, I'll get to work right away.

But then again, I only work with clients who appreciate feedback and don't think of me as a person turning coffee into code ;)

It's interesting that to know if it has anything to do with Sugar, as I take moderate amount of sugar.

Did you completely cut off sugar/variance of sugars? what about fruits?
A senior developer would also know to not use an enum instead of boolean when not useful and just wasting performance. (because Java and C# make you pay a lot for abstractions you don't use)

What you described is an intermediate programmer trap. A senior programmer would make a design easy to refactor if such a change is needed, but not pay the unnecessary cost up front.
The title is "Why Google Pixel lags 10x more than Moto Z" but the content is just a microbenchmark of fsync() without anything resembling a measurement of UI lag or that the 10x slowdown in fsync() actually means a 10x (or any) increase in said lag.

The author's previous blogpost (http://taras.glek.net/post/Laggy-phones-and-misleading-bench...) contends that 4K writes are a good proxy for phone lag, but has no evidence or measurements either, just the author's contention.

It could all well be true! And it's great the author's dug up some concrete areas the pixel team could potentially improve at (dumb question: couldn't the pixel be updated to use most of these FS tweaks? could an in-use pixel FS be converted to use f2fs?). But I don't think the author has done a good job demonstrating an actual relation to UI lag or anything to do with the phone's perceived performance.

Isn't dynamic dispatch a separate problem? It's great that gcc solves dynamic dispatch, but this article was about the problem of functions that are not supposed to be dynamically dispatched, but are called from dynamically dispatched functions - the noninlined inline function problem.

gcc "solves" this problem for its own inline functions by tagging them as static. But what about template functions? And what about functions defined by developers. I don't think gcc claims to solve those.
Yeah in the future, I will certainly be buying hardware that is designed to run desktop/server Linux (and support features you mention like BIOS upgrades easily as well) or is otherwise known to support it well. No more random COTS buys for me without research first. I'm done burning hours on this sort of weird crap vendors want to give us. So if a vendor wants to sell me a PC or enterprise anything, it needs to support Linux well.

I also don't plan to purchase any brand new Apple hardware. I will only adopt Apple hardware late (and used) and will only run OS X if absolutely necessary for some reason.

I unplugged my antenna almost two years ago. The only time i switch the TV on is when i wanna watch a movie on a bigger screen -- but i only connect my laptop to it. The antenna is cut right through.

There were a couple of moments when i was exposed to news. I couldn't believe it's this much manipulated and in your face sensationalist. Watching this everyday must be toxic as hell.

I spend lots of time on the internet though, so it's not like am disconnected. I just dodge the most vulgar of manipulations (i hope).

Because it is related to more than diet. There is a ton of literature on all of the different factors that induce insulin resistance (assuming you are talking about type 2). Diet, lack of exercise, genes, pollution, stress, chronic inflammation, the list goes on.

And there isn't a type to look like. The idea that only obese people have type 2 is ignorant at best.

Consider yourself lucky you have type 2, you can control it very easily if you choose to do so. I would gladly swap my son't type 1 for type 2 any day of the week.

I've really cut down on sugar from august to november. I didn't really notice anything except loosing a lot of weight (mind that I already was under weight, but I should probably build some muscle anyway)

So in comes December. And there is candy and chocolate everywhere. In just a single week our house filled up with it and here I am, stuffing my face full of sugar.

I think the struggle just goes on, right?
What I saw at the Michigan recount
Interesting. My own area of knowledge is renewable energy, a topic which appears with moderate frequency in TE. I would say 8/10 articles are merely repackaging reports published by major global consultancies like McKinsey, Navigant, etc. that I had seen two or three months earlier through my employer (a large multinational energy company). I would not say the information is not correct, but it hardly insightful and often presents an incomplete picture which looks at the industry primarily from the perspective of financiers.
But, your theft is my surcharge.

That is, me and many others don't view taxation as theft but as a charge for providing an ideal environment to amass wealth.
>I can't speak to the professional video world, but that's absolutely false in the professional audio world.

Depends on what you mean "professional audio world". If you mean heavy old style studios, the kind Led Zeppelin might have recorded on back in the day, yes, but these are on the go (profits and usage wise) anyway, as the industry shifts.

Musicians, producers, DJs, etc most carry laptops and have home studios based around them, and most use MacBook Pro's for their stuff (as evident in all kinds of interviews and live scenarios).
First off, it solves the problem of not having to deal with a ton of platform specific apis. See https://kyle.machul.is/2016/11/07/talking-bluetooth-le-on-de... for more info on how much fun that is.

If you want specifics, it's great for Bluetooth enabled adult toys. We haven't been seeing much in the way of non-mobile software for toy control, and webbluetooth makes it much easier to write the same code for all platforms. I've written a demo for controlling the lovense Hush via Webbluetooth in Chrome 54, and while the message round-trip time leaves something to be desired (at least on os x, where it's 150ms or so between messages, which means trying to send vibration patterns doesn't work very well), it does "just work" at least.

This is a great recommendation, but I would suggest paying just a little bit more (around $330 USD) and getting the U2515H. It has a higher resolution -- 2560x1440 -- and that makes all the difference if you want to rotate it into portrait mode (and you totally want to do that when coding).

I'm the author but I'll chime in and say that yes, linker ordering is undefined (or at least only partially defined) in general, and definitely in this case.

The C++ language says that the linker is free to choose any instantiation of an inline function because they are required to be identical. Failure to make them identical is an ODR violation, and the ODR implicitly says that the linker can grab whichever one it wants.

How would it?

As I understand things (which I'm clearly not an expert at all), CPU opcode is like an ABI,

put this value into register A,
this value into register B,
and a magic opcode into register C,

and poof, the register D contains the value of A+B.

A driver will say that you put int X into memory point A,
Y into memory point A+1, and call function C with argument of A and D will contain the multiplied number.

So how does #2 protect IP over #1?
