If you budget, another idea is to eat better animal protein.

I bet I could eat an entire box of hamburger helper. I know I could eat three cheezeburgers at a sitting. Once in a rare while I indulge in junk food like that. But beef tenderloin costing maybe $25/lb naturally tends to take care of the whole "technically you only need 2 oz protein per day" or whatever it is exactly.

Yes Chinese restaurants are famous for using interesting (gross) parts of the chicken to increase profits, but for how little chicken I use in a family sized stir fry I can afford a clean probably not salmonella infected boneless skinless organic chicken breast.

I mean, sure, for $10 I could eat hot dogs until I puke and/or gain two pounds of fat, but I'd rather eat a nice small grilled steak.

As a rough guess the more you use your grill and wok and the less you use your oven, toaster, and microwave, the healthier you're probably eating. Also a wok looks expensive as an experiment, like a couple meals worth of food, but unless you do something crazy it never wears out and its cheap compared to something like a complete all-clad stainless steel cooktop set. Also if you're trying to learn how to cook, most vegetables will not kill you with food poisoning no matter how hard you try, so some vegetarian stir fries are a delicious place to start.

He calls it "The Conscience of a Liberal" and then says "So yes, I’ve been wrong. Let those who are without error cast the first stone." Krugman is a good example of what's gone amiss with liberalism.

Even worse than his many errors, is his hypocrisy. He very loudly accused Amazon of being a "monopsony" during Amazon's most recent dust-up with the big publishers, on grounds that its market power would enable it to hurt consumers, although he acknowledged, Amazon hadn't used its economic power that way. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/20/opinion/paul-krugman-amaz...

The impetus for Krugman's column was, Amazon's resistance to big publishers using their market power to overprice ebooks. Krugman was on the side of the big publishers for obvious reasons I think. Krugman's own widely-assigned economics texts provide some of the clearest examples of big publishers using monopsony to overprice ebooks. His publisher, presumably with Krugman's support, sells ebooks of these texts for $100 - $200 a copy. A great example of mmonopsony - because students are assigned Krugman's books and therefore don't have choice, Krugman's publisher extracts monopsony profits. This isn't just a little convenient opportunism -- as Krugman surely knows, overinflated textbook prices are a significant burden on many students, who are leaving university with huge debt. Yet, Krugman goes along with this exploitation, and presumably banks very large royalties for himself at student's expense.

I say presumably a couple of times, because I've not seen anything from Krugman explaining or apologizing for the prices of his own books and the way this exploits students.
This reminds me of a recent conversation I had with a friend. We were discussing some of the crazy things politicians do (corruption, sex scandals, etc.) as well as some of the batshit crazy legislation they come up with (such as this bill), and this led to a discussion on what type of person runs for political office (at least in the US).

We generally agreed that many, if not most, politicians probably suffer from some form of megalomania mixed with a strong desire for power over others. These are not positive personality traits in general, but especially not for people in positions of power. Intelligent, well-meaning, balanced people generally do not seem to suffer from these traits and perhaps that's why we seem to have a lack of them in office (since they don't run in the first place). This seems like a fundamental problem at the very core of US politics, and I'm not sure what could be done about it. We obviously can't restrict people from running for office on the basis of personality faults, and we certainly can't force people who would make better candidates to run (especially given how subjective that is).

Disclaimer: This is all obviously conjecture, and I don't have any sort of extensive knowledge in political science or anything related.

Well, maybe it isn't for you. I've had this conversation a few times a year for decades. I don't think there's a need to convince anyone that something new is for them. There are always early adopters for any new technology. It will mature. Feel free to jump in at any time where the cost meets your needs, or never.

The reason the first people jump in is because "they can". Then others follow for various reason.
This is not going to be a good. Turkey has to take responsibility for what happened. The proxy war is at risk of turning to a full blown war at this point.
I moved to SC (somewhat unfortunately I suppose) a couple of years ago and I have been quite surprised at the many Stop Sex Trafficking bill boards and things I've seen around. It seems to be a fairly big issue in the state (or at least the upstate area). I lived up in PA most of my life and spent about 4 years in Southern CA and I don't really ever recall seeing sex trafficking billboards anywhere else that I've traveled or lived. So when I first saw that a bill was introduced about combating sex trafficking, I thought - man this must REALLY be a big problem here. And maybe there are some pieces of it that make sense. But they always seem to bury in and hide so much extra bullshit that it starts to make zero sense what they are trying to really achieve.

tl,dr: not surprised SC trying to pass stop sex trafficking law; not surprised bill contains extra bullshit tactics for raising more money to fund said law.
Just want to clarify a point - you don't have to employ the person who stands in for you, you just need to be contractually allowed to do so. Otherwise, your client is paying for _you_, not the service you're providing (e.g. [technology] developer).

Generally it's just a matter of how the contract is worded. You need to reserve the sort of rights a business would reserve.

I agree, it was never clearly divulged if the ~28 OD's were fentanyl-related (I assume the majority were), or for anything else - I can attest that the lion's share of people I have known to have opioid drug problems did start out with Rx abuse and progressed from there. As much as it pains me to say it, the culture around my area seems to perpetuate the idea that doctors generally do no wrong unless they botch a surgery, in which case, you sue.

This doesn't explain why everyone must be forced to have their internet access censored by the state.

If people want to filter their internet access, those people can buy and install filtering software.

> By creating a new default, and insisting on filtering as the default, we can create a new norm by which people come with a much safer internet experience.

Again, why must this option be forced upon everyone?
Or a merely unpopular one?

It's mainly because hardware design is more expensive than software design. I've been working for a while on a side project that's going to be a standalone "appliance" of sorts, and it's much easier to basically punt on the hardware -- just toss a general-purpose SoC in there, with a big old touchscreen on top, and then do the entire UI in software -- than it is to iteratively design the UI in hardware, with traditional buttons, switches, LCD multiline displays, etc. Even though I think the overall UX is often much better with traditional hard controls (more tactile feedback, easier to use without looking or with vision impairments... long list).

3D printing is closing this gap a little, but it's still a heck of a lot easier to upload some new files to a touchscreen-based device and plop it in front of your testers than it is to produce a new version of a hard control panel.

I don't think that slippery slope is likely. There is a world of difference between pornography and controversial political speech. We have had obscenity laws putting strong restrictions on pornography for a very long time (see 18 USC 1462 - 1468) and they haven't resulted in other speech rights being curtailed, I don't think there is any reason to think this law will be any different.
Depends. If you never get a job in your field again because of downshifting into unskilled labour it's more of a waste than losing a year to unemployment and job search.

I've seen it happen as well. If you look at each person individually you may have issues, but does the team function? Do they get their work done and stay out of your way? For all I care they can have a dog on their payroll as long as their team does what it's supposed to do and stays out of my way.
No, they should either serve the URL requested or refuse to do so. There are networks that do not allow TLS traffic, and clients that do not support it.
Optimizing LINQ is a lot like optimizing Haskell (or to a lesser extent F#) and it isn't so much a minefield as it is dealing with that sort of abrupt paradigm-shift/learning curve wall of a mini embedded functional programming language.

I don't think a lot of people understand exactly where some of the eagerness versus laziness boundaries are (which are essentially monad boundaries, from a functional perspective). For instance, I've suggested for some time [1] that one of the strongest things a UX (whether an IDE or an extension to an IDE) could do to help is better mark those boundaries between IQueryable/IEnumerable/IList, as I don't think a lot of people see them. (I've long considered ToList somewhat harmful, especially; it is so painfully rarely the right tool for any task and yet is so easy for people new to LINQ to use as a crutch.)

Beyond that there is of course the general rules of optimizing any code: are you using the right data structure for the job and have you balanced caching the expensive operations (queries) against what isn't expensive and doesn't need to be cached.

Certainly a lot of optimizations I've seen needed over the years are simply: this lookup would be faster in a Dictionary or a HashSet or an ILookup, instead of an O(n) search through an IEnumerable or IList. (This should be especially obvious any time that you attempt a `join` of any sort against an IEnumerable or IList on either side of the `join` that you need a Dictionary, HashSet, or ILookup on one or both sides.)

That sort of data structure optimization is largely the same consideration when you are writing do/while/for/foreach loops directly as it is in the LINQ syntax and it can take a mental leap for developers sometimes to realize it that it is mostly the same problems, even if they sometimes "feel" different.

except that obviously Tintin could win, but it's not obvious that Swift would.
Perhaps you're a minority, but you're not alone - I too think that the usual narratives around monads (and many other theoretical CS concepts) are quite harmful. Do not get me wrong - they can all be useful, but not when they are conflated with many other things that some people like to have together with monads.
I recently tried my hand in the macOS ecosystem and I must say I was positively surprised by XCode. It's "intellisence" is incredibly fast compared to VSCode.

One argument for Swift is also that Swift is used on the client almost as often as Javascript is.

On that note, maybe we should not be looking for the economic impact it has had on the US, but the impact it has had on India, China, etc.

I also wonder what we would find if we measured the productivity gains of the washing machine; I'm not sure we would see the rise that economists want to see from computing technology.
Innotop is great for watching things live. To review long or resource intensive queries, the Percona toolkit scripts create excellent summaries of the MySQL slow query log.

I use them to send these weekly reports to our developers: Slow queries, lock waits, transactions with the most rows affected, transaction by highest statement count, largest statements by rows affected, busiest tables, queries doing full table scan or full join, and busy writes.
No, the request was sarcastic, it was for Hillary's 30,000 emails that she deleted from her personal email server as being "not work-related", the ones from well before the campaign. The sarcastic request was made right after the July DNC leak (the DNC primaries shenanigans). It was not a request for Podesta's, or any other DNC operative's, emails. Since the DNC leak had already occurred, and since Podesta's emails had already been hacked (but not yet released), it's not as if Russia (if it's certain they're behind Guccifer 2.0 and the Podesta hack) needed Trump to ask (sarcastically or not) for more DNC or HRC material before they'd go looking for it.

Since Hillary stated repeatedly that she (her lawyers) deleted the 30,000 emails, if Russia could "find" them at all, it would mean that either Hillary lied and had them backed up somewhere, or that Russia was in possession of them long before Trump jokingly asked for them.
My general sense is that academic superstars who decide to opine on world events generally do slightly better than their Hollywood counterparts ... but not much

I think this article is quite poor. It doesn't explain why you would expect there to be more Asians in the first place. Asians are over-represented in STEM fields. You could just as well ask a general question about "nerds" not getting hired into executive positions.

As a South Carolina resident, I'm confident this won't happen.

Right-wingers introduce nutty bills all the time here (example: Lee Bright introduced [1] a bill to have South Carolina make its own currency), and they get a fair amount of attention, but for the most part they don't have enough clout to run the state. If this bill gets any traction, lobbyists from BMW (factory in Spartanburg, SC), Boeing (Charleston), and other big business interests will see to it that it is defeated.

Funnily, Trader Joes in Boulder, CO is not very cheap at all, and certainly not a place you can do regular shopping to get those essentials that anchor an entire week's worth of meals. To top that all, there's no booze to be bought!

The workers at this location are numerous, cheery and helpful; the store is well-put together, with large displays. Some items are cheaper, but mostly it just seems like boxed/frozen "health" food, that doesn't seem all that frugal to buy, so I pass on it.

Before this location was built, my friends would go to New Mexico to do Trader Joes runs, so I do believe other locations must be economically attractive enough to spend that sort of time/gas to get there.

It's just the local market I guess: there's many local boutique grocery brands in the area: Whole Foods, Vitamin Cottage, Sprouts, Luckys... It's either TJ is competing with them on price (they can be quite expensive...), or their competing on the much larger super markets, who are also raising their prices and bringing in luxury items, like pour-your-own-growler Kombucha.

It's sort of madne$$.
I completely agree with this. I've been doing professional Scala for about 7 years now and I have long moved past the phase of trying to make all my code "pure" and "functional". While I'd say my code always maintains a more functional feel than Java or C++, many problems are just more elegantly and efficiently solved with OOP and imperative/mutable designs.
Is it horrible of me to hope that this means that popular porn sites will soon harass users from South Carolina, telling them to try Linux?
On the other hand, a lot of poorly paid careers are actually somewhat important, they're just (unfortunately) treated terribly as far as pay and conditions go. For example, journalism, teaching and caring for the elderly are all career paths/areas which are low paid and (perhaps) over supplied, but I don't think I'd want people to start leaving these jobs en masse to say, work in marketing or finance.

And on the academic side, I'm not a fan of the idea that everything should be focused on the career side. A world without the humanities might get university graduates earning more money, but it'd feel poorer in some sense at the same time.
Could actually see a "flash of unstyled content" on my desktop PC. No biggie, but that makes me think about just how overkill I want to go with VueJS. (edit: wondering also if they precompiled those templates with vue-loader?)

I'm super excited about VueJS, and start using it on my site. But when I see a component for a button, you know, just a regular styled link... I wonder if there is really a purpose to that? How do you strike the right balance of what should be a component, and what can be handled as plain html with perhaps some backend helpers to output in view templates?

Also just as a general criticism I think it's not welcoming for a Vue component framework to have such a strong opiniated design built in. It would be much nicer to have the theme something relatively easy to change. It may be don't get me wrong... but my first impression is "Can I even use this? Without changing tons of style rules?".

For this I think the relatively simple design of Bootstrap is a strength. Give me the same components with a barebones design, with cheap flat buttons with some rounded corners for "pzaz" and then I feel much more confident about bringing that into an existing project. Even if I started a site today, I don't want to use Material design.
Exactly. Apple seems to not care about the backend developers (well why would they). They fall behind MS and Google (.NET and Golang).
Explain to me how your view that porn is obscene (morally? religiously?) necessitates a government-mandated censorship that can be removed with a $20 bribe. You have absolutely no business telling adults what content is unwholesome and what is not, as long as that content does not break the law. Framing this as an effort to stop the funding of human trafficking seems ridiculous to me given the context of what this law will actually do in effect.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion but

> Also internet porn and certain types of internet directories are some of the biggest contributors to human trafficking

...this claim boggles the mind and needs some evidence IMO. Are you really making a claim that "if porn then trafficking"? Please clarify.

Windowing functions in standard SQL databases are like putting lipstick on a pig. You created a design based on sets then later tried to slap on the idea of order to sets. kdb is based on the concept of ordered lists, not sets and makes windowing functions on time and order based queries ridiculously easy. If this kind of thing interests you I recommend checking it out these comparison queries between kdb and standard SQL:

I think M2M is great and all, but the thing is, the machines are doing something for the humans. We can tell a machine to go talk to another machine but neither machine will know WHAT they are supposed to do unless we tell them. The HOW is certainly something that can be solved with time and uniformity, but the WHAT is always something that will require a human presence. And ultimately, with all the humans in the world needing different WHATs, I don't see the required uniformity ever coming to be on any scale larger than the local central authority.

Both Go and Rust fit into the same niche you mentioned (statically typed, single binary, no "legacy silliness"). Both currently support the server use case better as they have more libraries and stronger concurrency primitives available. Neither has the disadvantage of poor Linux support.

While I can understand why an iOS developer might spring for using Swift for server development, I'm not sure why any backend engineer would choose Swift. There are a myriad of better choices, including those that you ruled out.
