So, it's a decade earlier, which means that the cinematography is a decade behind. The camera work is often sloppy, and the soundtrack is, at times, atrocious. That said, the stories are just as compelling, and just as well told.

If not for the faults I reference above, I'd strongly recommend it as epically great television -- and it is, if you can look past those faults, but sometimes they're pretty glaring.

Yes, keeping people confused about the science is an industry tactic. However, saying "we all knew the answer" is just hindsight bias, not real knowledge. Respect the science, don't pretend it didn't need to be done.

I use i3wm's `bindsym` for stuff that's related to window management, like moving around windows, resizing them, moving windows or focus to workspaces, etc. Other stuff, like volume control, screenshots (print screen -> take screenshot, upload to a web server, put URL in clipboard), mouse movement (with xdotool), etc. is handled through sxhkd. There's no reason I couldn't just use bindsym for all of that, but now non-windowing hotkeys is not coupled with the WM, so I could choose to switch window manager and still have all non-WM hotkeys work.

This is really interesting - in a geeky way.

Until now all fundamental units were defined in terms that depended on the constants of nature.

For instance:

- the metre as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299 792 458 seconds.

- the second as: the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom

And so on EXCEPT for the kg.

The kg was the only odd one out. There was this object stored somewhere and when people wanted to measure very well the kg they had to go there and try to measure the mass of that object as accurately as possible... which is a rather odd thing to do when aiming for accuracy.

Now we finally have the means to express the kg with a physical experience in universal terms.

Ghana doesn't have a food and water problem. I'm not saying it doesn't exist here but then our real problems are undereducation and moving value around(because lots of people are unbanked)... people will pay for your product here like they would anywhere else, provided it solves their problem. I think that the reason why people outside the country invest here is because 1. there's a low risk and 2. your next customer could be someone who had his problem solved as a result of your investment. A typical example would be Zuckerberg investing in beaming internet across rural areas, cos in the end a lot of the new internet users will sign up for Facebook...

In case you've forgotten, this discussion thread is about societal shame, not individual bullying as you seem to imply. Societal shame isn't individuals engaging other individuals in some kind of shame battle. It actually consists of collective exclusion and isolation. Society (and the institutional structures that comprise it) doesn't get its "ass handed back" by people who buck its pressures; at most, these pariahs ignore society and get ignored in return.

But yeah, I totally only believe this because I'm a successful bully (◔_◔)

Here's my git repository with all dotfiles and such: https://github.com/mortie/nixConf

I use i3wm (well, i3-gaps) as the WM. Xdotool is just used to move the cursor with hotkeys: https://github.com/mortie/nixConf/blob/7c12d4215c703de0c6935..., scrot is used both for a print screen button (scrot takes the picture, then it's copied to my server with scp, and the URL is put in the clipboard: https://github.com/mortie/nixConf/blob/master/bin/mshot) and for i3lock (scrot takes the picture, imagemagick pixelates, i3lock shows it: https://github.com/mortie/nixConf/blob/master/bin/mlock).

I also have a project called dedaemon: https://github.com/mortie/dedaemon. That uses udev to listen to events, like displays or input devices being connected or disconnected, and does a preconfigured to them. I for example have these lines, which sets the resolution and frame rate to any connected monitor to the highest possible, and positions it to the left of the primary monitor: https://github.com/mortie/nixConf/blob/7c12d4215c703de0c6935.... I imagine porting that functionality to wayland would be really hard, and probalby require writing custom extensions to each window manager separately.

There's also this other project I have, which isn't really related to wayland, but which I still feel is relevant: mmenu - https://github.com/mortie/mmenu. It just makes dmenu work as a calculator, running the input through python if it doesn't match a program in your $PATH, plus some other features.

> About a quarter of all Americans take acetaminophen every week.

Wow. That seems rather high.
I actually already do that. Not specifically through those websites though. I wish more would do the same.
> The vegan diet is a diet of deficiencies, and since none of them are particularly careful about what they eat

First off, B12 is important, but most vegan milk-substitute things have 25% or 50% of the US RDA of B12 per serving. Not all - a lot of almond milk isn't supplemented with B12 (to which i grumble). They're often also iron-supplemented. Here, for example, is the nutrition label for Silk Organic Unsweetened Soy Milk:

https://silk.com/sites/default/files/products/nutrition/SK_2...

Note the vitamin D and calcium in there as well. The FDA is generally clever about the requirements they put on things -- the potential for such deficiencies is well-known, and so is addressed at a few places.

Creatine isn't a necessary nutrient - our kidneys and livers synthesize it.

Finally, I, at least get a lot of "zing" in my diet by being creative about what we cook. (Sorry, couldn't resist) Zinc, however, you should pay attention to, but eating a diversity of beans and nuts (and tofu) covers it quite well.

Seriously, though: It's not hard to have the bases covered. If you're really concerned and not just concern-trolling, sit down with your friends and a copy of Cron-o-Meter, which is one of the most comprehensive meal nutrition profilers around. It's what I used when figuring out the overall layout for our family's meals, and it did lead me to a few cheats -- like favoring molasses as a sweetener, throwing flaxseed in place of part of the flour in a bunch of recipes, etc., to make sure we were hitting all the targets. Useful software.

len isn't a great example because it doesn't do anything remotely useful on python3 strs in the general case. In particular it doesn't tell you how many characters the str has, which is what you probably wanted to know -- possibly as an approximation for figuring out how many columns in fixed-width it would take, in which case of course you are even more likely to be disappointed.

In python2 len(str) will tell you exactly how many bytes some text takes, which is useful.
Bed bugs are practically immune to DDT. I looked into this a few years ago because DDT seemed like a perfect fit for the problem. (Mattresses are indoors, easy to saturate and used for more than a decade.) Turns out the LD50 for DDT is like 100000 ppm.‡ Think about that. Ten. Percent. Of their body weight.

(IMHO, DDT should be allowed for mosquito nets, as long as they are only used indoors and people know to incinerate the old nets instead of throwing them out. It is so darn effective and we were so boneheaded stupid the first time around.)

Ironically I had to open this in a browser to make this comment (since no app supports that advanced feature) but FYI the mobile version of Firefox supports the queueing up of multiple links for later viewing, rather than immediately switching to the firefox app every time you open a link.

As someone who speaks Telugu as their first language, I am ashamed to admit I don't know how to write numbers in Telugu, let alone the fractions. Though I had learnt how to read and write Telugu, even in school, one is never taught how to write numerals in Telugu. But I am glad people are still working on it. It's an amazing language where most of the words end in vowles and I feel it doesn't get enough interest from the Telugu community.

Actually, there are higher incident of B12 deficiency in Indian vegetarians as found by a study done in late 90s (sorry I don't have specific reference).

Indians dont have a practice of regular/ preventive doctor visits, annual checkup and diagnostic testing. They only go to doctor when there are significant medical issues. So these issues are not found until they morph into bigger problems.

I have a quite a few younger cousins who died in their 30's. Not a single one ever was tested for cholesterol despite poor eating habits and obesity.

Recently I noticed a few startups in India focusing on diagnostic testing. But their user base seems to still be elderly than young people.

There aren't any micro-services in our applications. However, drawing business boundaries is much easier to do in Clojure than most languages I've used.

You have a common set of data structures that all functions operate on. To create a piece of domain logic, I simply need to create a namespace, and put the related functions there.

This style of code is highly composable. Since majority of functions are doing generic transformations, the domain specific logic is expressed by chaining these functions in a particular way to get a desired transformation. When I need a different kind of transformation, then I just chain the functions in a different order. My experience is that the business logic naturally bubbles up to a thin layer at the top.

Also have a full disaster-management plan and supplies in place. I got plenty of jeers from neighbors and colleagues when I had everything installed. Kept us going during a several-day outage during a heat wave about 5 or 6 years ago. We hosted 3 families for almost a week, with always-on AC, refrigeration and basic lighting.

Couple shorter brownouts since then. Nobody laughing at me now.

(PS: I'm not advocating for general installation of these things, as they are a major investment. But this was in my threat model.)
