> Butter contains 3 % trans fats.

_No_ it does not. Trans fats are a completely artificial creation originally thought to avoid weight gain because it's specifically _not_ butter. They don't exist naturally in any butter.

I don't know about you, but in a lot of situations when I'm asked to build something I have to actually figure out a lot of those requirements myself, as I go along.

Theoretically that role is generally called "business analyst" or "product manager" or "product owner" but you know the difference between theory and practice.

If we'd ever reach that point of automation my money's on many programmers just switching to some sort of "business analysis". After all, this job is all about making decisions, tons of micro-decisions.

> For starters, saturated fat increases cholesterol and that is almost exclusively in animal products.

You conveniently fail to mention that it increases HDL and LDL in proportion, when a common marker for heart disease is the LDL/HDL ratio. [1]

> Animal products are basically the only products to contain dietary cholesterol. So there you have at least a strong correlation.

No, that's a non-sequitor. It would have been a correlation if a higher LDL/HDL ratio was contributed to dietary cholesterol, which it isn't. [2]

From your link:

> High-density lipoprotein (HDL) was consistently increased in most studies, with HDL2 increasing more than HDL3 after cholesterol consumption (42,43). Interestingly, the increase in serum HDL cholesterol re- sulting from cholesterol feeding appears to be greater when the background diet is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (29). .....

> These subtle changes in lipoprotein composition and concentration-apart from changes in serum total or LDL cholesterol concentrations may help explain recent epidemiologic findings that implicate dietary cholesterol as an independent risk factor for coronary disease after fasting serum total cholesterol and other known cardiovascular risk factors have been controlled for (67, 68). However, because changes in LDL cholesterol accounted for most of the changes in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol will be the focus ofthe remaining discussion.

Even the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee doesn't state that cholesterol over consumption is of no concern. [3]

While dietary carbohydrates don't raise cholesterol, they do lower HDL, thus raising the LDL/HDL ratio. [4]

If you'd like, I'll admit that eating animal fats can increase LDL, but it's not the whole picture.

Some bonus sources for low carb (high fat) diets improving cardiovascular health: [5] [6]

But as I've read a lot of them, there's also opposing studies, like: [7]

My point is: approach this from an attempt to find truth, not from trying to prove that animal fat is bad, because it really shines through which one it is.

Biggest discovery when researching this was due to the ALPN requirement in Chrome [1], openssl 1.02 being required for ALPN, and the vagaries of Linux distro release schedules, Ubuntu 16.04 is the only LTS distro than can serve HTTP/2 to Chrome users.

When they're eventually announced, RHEL/CentOS 8 (Fedora already has the necessary openssl) and Debian 9 will also work. But right now Ubuntu is your only bet unless you want to build and maintain your own openssl. Which you don't.

The Google Instant answer for the question [does butter contain trans fat?] says 100 g butter contains 3.3 g of trans fat.

Trans fats sometimes occur naturally in food. They're created by bacteria in an animal's stomach.

Trans fats were nothing to do with weight loss. Trans fats were used because they're cheap and have long shelf life.

> My gut feeling is that the #1 problem is excessive lending on housing and way too much tolerance for housing as a speculative investment.

Does this mean you think that supply is adequate and the only issue is that? We have been running a deficit of 200,000 units of housing a year for over 30 years. The shortfall has been made up, in London at least, by turning flat living rooms into bedrooms and splitting up housing into smaller and smaller units.

Also 200,000 units over 5 years is not impressive it's downright pathetic. We used to build 200,000 units of council housing a year as well as 200,000 units of private housing a year.

I don't care if a party gives away the housing as an electoral bribe down the line I just want the housing to be built now and continue to be built to keep house prices from ever going up.
> Just because you can get it, it doesn't mean that this is efficient and fast enough to do when you are browsing through the directories.

It's already doing this for the last time modified value it retrieves or calculates for each file and directory as I'm browsing through the repo. That requires determining which commit last changed each file and in the case of directories, which commit most recently changed one of the files within the directory.

The file sizes, on the other hand, are available by determining which blob is associated with the file. That file to blob mapping available by recursing through the trees associated with the commit that's currently selected. This does not require iterating through multiple commits, unlike the former case, and it shouldn't be any more complex.

Thermodynamics does not account for the role of digestion with regards to nutrient absorption. For example, recent studies have shown that gut bacteria can have an affect on fat absorption in the body, and hence how many calories are extracted from the food you eat. Meaning that two people can eat the exact same thing but extract different amounts of calories from it.
The obvious retort is that having it on a hard drive isn't the crime, the act of collecting it is. So it's the act and not the possession that is the crime.

While we're on the topic, could someone explain the following?

1. Is there any free way to send an SMS "from" a different phone number that you verifiably own, without actually sending it from that number? (e.g. if your service provider charges you for messages sent through them, but the phone number is yours)

2. Beyond that... how do VoIP services go about sending & receiving SMSs themselves? Why can't I do the same thing and bypass them?

I have no plans to accept payment in anything other than Bitcoin, but can you please explain the advantage of paying for services with other companies' gift cards?

And how would it even work? Would you post the gift cards to the company, and then they'd add to your balance when they receive them?

How is it better for either the customer or the business, compared to Bitcoin?

Plus I hardly spend any money in either Starbucks or Subway, so I'd then presumably need to find someone to sell them on to.

Surely it would be easier for both parties if you posted physical cash than physical gift cards (customer doesn't need to buy the gift cards, and business doesn't need to sell them).
> And what would you do with these people, who have no disability but also no marketable skills and as a result no one will hire them?

You seem to have difficulties understanding the concept of "economically inactive people", who exist in large numbers even where unemployment never "runs out". Many economically inactive working-age people have plenty of marketable skills, they just prefer to live off savings, inheritances or family/spousal income than claim subsidies contingent on their willingness to demonstrate effort towards seeking and accept an offers of employment. By definition, economically inactive people (including the minority dependent on other forms of state handout because they can't work) are people not looking for work in the near future, and especially not looking for work at less than minimum wage if given a boost to their current standard of living courtesy of the taxpayer.
Like almost all nutritional studies, the evidence here is circumstantial and should be read with significant skepticism. Stephen Pauker, a professor of medicine at Tufts University and a pioneer in the field of clinical decision making, says, “Epidemiologic studies, like diagnostic tests, are probabilistic statements.” They don’t tell us what the truth is, he says, but they allow both physicians and patients to “estimate the truth” so they can make informed decisions.' (Excerpt from Do We Really Know What Makes Us Healthy by Gary Taubes http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/16/magazine/16epidemiology-t....)

If you look at the larger body of evidence beyond this study, there are major reasons why institutional wisdom continues to advocate for the consumption of mono and polyunsaturated fats over saturated fat. For example, a larger 2016 cohort study of 115,000+ participants concluded high dietary intakes of saturated fat are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (http://www.bmj.com/content/355/bmj.i5796).

Eating healthier is all about what categories of food replace current calories. If similar studies continue to show vegetable oil consumption is not protective against heart disease, it will probably make more sense to advocate replacing vegetable oil calories with fatty nuts and avocados that are much more nutritiously dense than oils (my preference for where to get fats). To jump to the conclusion we should all eat more butter based on this one study of n=9,423, however, is bad logic.

> You mention the failure of private builders to meet demand for new houses. Why do you think that is?

No I don't think that's true. If you look at the number of privately built units of housing it has been remarkably consistent at about 200,000 units a year since the second world war. Now are you going to tell me that the regulatory regime has been the same the entire time?

I'd have more sympathy for your arguments if the biggest complaint from councils about new housing was that they give planning permissions and then developers just sit on the land and send in further speculative planning applications.
They are still somewhat in the domain of performance.

> * Almost as fast as C

That's the key point. Judging by the (wrong) benchmark above where both C and Go seem to do some work, Go is about half as fast as C.

A grad student (if paid properly) costs maybe 60k €/year. In comparison, we regularly spend more than 250k on new and faster computers, not including maintenance, the electricity bill etc. If you can make software even 50% faster by increasing development time, this is nearly always worth it in an academic setting. Note that the benchmark implementation shown here is a very simple example, normally computing jobs take days to weeks (multiplied by however many cores you can sensibly use) of CPU time.

Decreasing runtime also increases productivity a lot, since the turnaround time becomes shorter; waiting 3 versus 6 weeks for results is a noticeable difference.

Additionally, these tools rarely have safety concerns: In my own code, there is no "untrusted user input". There is correct user input (good) and incorrect user input (mostly it will crash, with common mistakes it will try to notify the user). Safety is handled by the operating system (such that you can’t overwrite someone else’s data, for example).

This means that the only advantage Go could have over C/C++ in academia is the "good concurrency support". However, concurrency in HPC is usually handled via OpenMP (shared memory) or MPI (distributed memory) parallelisation. This takes a while to get used to, but is very different (and in a sense much easier) than e.g. the typical case for a web server, where you wish to serve as many users as possible at the same time using as little CPU time as possible – a busily waiting loop is horrible in the latter case but perfectly fine in the former (under some circumstances).

So overall, languages are not interesting in the academic HPC crowd if they sacrifice speed for anything, which, incidentally, makes Rust also interesting, because that is precisely not the case (apparently, under some circumstances, etc.pp.).

When was the last time you purchased a product with print ads?

It got to the point where I could finish a magazine, cover to cover, in minutes because of how many ads were in there.

> European high-speed rail systems have some dedicated rights of way, but they definitely didn't start that way.

TGV was most definitely started that way. It was engineered to be able to run on regular railway ("standard gauge high-speed train") so that the existing "inner-city" rails could be used to reach inside existing metropolis, but it was designed primarily to run on new specific rights of way, regular service started on the dedicated "LN1" (now LGV Sud-Est) between Paris and Lyon: the line is 409km (254mi) for a total ride distance (station to station) of 425km (264mi).

> They are systems that are integrated with regional and urban rail, and have grown to have more dedicated higher speed sections over time.

The size of the dedicated high-speed network grew over time, but high-speed trains were always intended to run on high-speed networks, there's just no point otherwise, "regular" trainsets will reach older lines's rated speed just fine.

I'm not quite convinced here (extending the 'app' concept to other software). Some of the price is subsidized by VC money, and some by advertising. In both cases the consumer/purchaser may not be aware of the real value of their purchase, nor the real cost. So the market hasn't finished speaking IMHO.
I was against the project back when it was a ballot measure, but since then my opinion on it has changed -- I don't care if trains ever run on the damned thing, what really matters in this project is getting the right of way to the land, because they're going to put in a MASSIVE amount of fiber optic cable as they dig out the path.
