I'm from Spain and this article does not represent Spain. Let me expand on this.

The typical workday in Spain (no matter if you are a worker or in an office) goes from 7:00/9:00 to 15:00/18:00. This is usually a 8 hours work day (a lot of unpaid extra hours are quite typical in any IT job).

Usually there are two stops before lucnh, one at the beginning of the day, usually 15 minutes to have a coffee with coworkers and another one of 15-20 minutes at midday (11:00/12:00) to have a piece of fruit or just another coffee.

At lunch there are two options, the ones that leave job at 15:00 usually eat at 15:30 - 16:00 (quite late but quite common), the rest takes an hour to have lunch (usually two dishes and dessert [a bit too much I admit]) and they are allowed to leave normally when they make 8 hours at work.

There are a lot of flexibility if you are not public facing so you can play a bit with the arriving/living time (usually you are allowed to arrive up to 10:00 in the morning).

Only people who lives really close to home (up to 10/15 minutes) goes there to have lunch with their family and they usually also take a power nap of 15 minutes more or less.

Spanish siesta is for Fridays and holidays.

> your body needs a fair amount of carbs every day

This is factually wrong. The human body ~100 grams of protein, ~10 grams of fat, and zero carbs to stay healthy. The minimal amount of glucose required for brain function can be synthesized from protein intake. And carb deficiency is not associated with any impairment or disease.
Semi-related to Foxx, is it now possible to add/remove coordinators dynamically to cluster? In other words, can we now scale out Foxx services easily if load increases?
I moved to the UK but I still know many friends from Spain that work from 9am-1pm -> lunch break -> 3pm-7pm. Which means that in reality they can end up leaving the office at 7:30pm.
By the other hand I worked for the Catalan TV for many years and they had very flexible hours and I could leave by 5pm, but it's not that usual in my experience (and that was 12 years ago).
Could you please further explain?
It's a quote from the Star Trek movie clip. We are starting to believe that we have "Star Trek" like medicine, but we're no where near what they did in the movies/series.
The two weeks is right but the challenge for most people is that two weeks in is also when the first 10 pounds of "weight loss" slows because most of this is water and waste product. Losing a pound a week is too slow and quickly becomes frustrating for people. It is also really hard to escape cheating and getting sucked back in. Weight loss is mostly a psychological and emotional challenge and most people are too stressed in daily life to win this fight. We are also fighting our own nature as our bodies want us to store as much extra food as we can because a long time ago that was a very rare event to find this much food. Today that is available at every meal.
It is called an "End User License Agreement", most users check the box without reading it. To give Goog some credit, they do tend to state their intent plainly(not legal jargon) in the first couple paragraphs. Of course, sometimes they have to edit/whitewash out the "creepy" aspects.

Yes, the balance is the issue.

If I had a final meal wish, it would be some crusty bread, and butter. I'm NOT giving up carbs. My coworker does this, and only eats a plate of meat, and fats everyday. It sounds absolutely miserable.
That diets like paleo and keto work is pretty strong counter evidence to this position.

Lots of talking and mental preparation beforehand. My father had surgery for glioblastoma (brain cancer), he had to stay awake and count so the surgeon knew he didn't remove anything important.
In the startup arena im in (USA) folks often work 8-9am till 7-8pm with half hour to hour MAX lunches.

No one complains, people just burnout and move on in 1-2-3 years. No one gets overtime. It would be nice to have an open discussion with HR or whoever but its a sensitive topic, in this culture you are not "allowed" to tell how much you actually work...

I guess its a "dirty little secret" but 9-5 does not exist anymore (honestly probably never did, at least in my field).
Nope. Bitcoin has always had detractors and fanatics. You're likely observing selection bias.

Per 100 grams, there is little difference between potatoes and sweet potatoes.

It really depends on a person I think. I am doing pretty heavy keto for over a year now, but if you offer me a pizza and say it will not throw me out of keto (and i believe you for some reason) - i will eat two extra-large boxes of it. Same with cookies, burgers, pasta, bagels, donuts, etc.
They don't happen in industrial settings (my father worked at a factory, he had a ~ 1h break). They don't happen in computer related stuff (I've seen 1h being the norm, 2h being frowned upon, and usually, you don't have a specific break and are just supposed to somehow arrive, work, eat and leave while working a reasonable amount of the time). They don't even happen in research, when I was teaching at a university our normal break was around 1h, 1h30 if we had a coffee meeting to discuss some topic afterwards.
HN used to be way (more) hostile towards Bitcoin.
I remember reading this story from a couple years ago: http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2015/03/union_cou...

Apparently if a child is very young, the water is extremely cold, and everyone involved is extremely lucky then crazy stuff can happen. (Un?)Fortunately this isn't something that happens often enough that we can get a lot of data on how the body can recover from stuff like this.
I feel like a few years ago there was some issue with etherium and it was generally considered to be inferior to bitcoin, I can't remember what that issue was now though.
Your foreign friends were onto it; the problem is that those carb-rich foods in the US are by and large CRAMMED with sugar, which doubles down the effect; carbs to trigger the insulin response, and sugar that the body can convert extremely efficiently to fat. Homemade pasta is incredibly healthy; you still should meter your intake of course, but for the most part it's very good for you (especially if you're doing a lot of exercise). Look at the ingredients in most box pasta sold in the US, however, and you see so much added sugar and corn syrup.

It's not One Big Thing. It's several fairly big things, most of which are concentrated heavily in the USA.
A tremendous amount of trust is certainly involved. The brain itself doesn't actually have any pain receptors!
You're wrong, moderation is lowering the % of something contained in your diet. Instead of 40% of your diet consisting of carbohydrates, how about trying 30%. Work from there. Jumping on this no carb nonsense, is not an existence I want to live.
This article is delusional if it thinks the swings have anything to do with the bitcoin civil war. Bitcoin has always been volatile, and will continue to be volatile. It's a gambler's currency.

People always try to assign a reason to things. We don't like accepting that there just aren't any reasons. But as someone who has seen bitcoin go up and down and back again over years, there really isn't a reason for it besides "people decided to buy or sell." And those people aren't operating with logic. It's speculation.

People were saying the exact same things about Silk Road. If Silk Road closes, bitcoin will go down! Nope, didn't happen.
Same goes e.g. for Linq. I know of people who would prefer screen-filling methods of multiple nested loops with throwaway datastructures and various checks sprinkled on top to a simple three-liner Linq expression.

Funnily enough, their argument always seems to be "it's easier to read this, since I'm accustomed to

for (x;y;z) if (foo ||(bar && baz)) lorem = ipsum;

as a pattern."

I do think that there is some kind of implicit framework living within a smart combination React, Redux, and Immutable.js that combined with something like Uncle Bob's clean architecture could probably become a standard within the React world.

Most of these observations are well-known to the Solidity devs. I know because I participate in many of the conversations around it. While it's not easy to evolve a language (the API surface is pretty wide compared to many other programs), Solidity is indeed changing and improving regularly, only limited by the available time of their contributors.
I think it's implying the argumentative state when currencies are brought up. There's a lot of emotions wrapped around all the nonsense of forks, the random thefts, and general new but somewhat difficult to understand technology.

For most people it doesn't serve a purpose outside of what they're reading (I own a few bitcoin that I mined back in 09, but I'm never really compelled to use them for anything due to headaches and fees trying to spend them).
Hi, it's Frank from ArangoDB. We have now included the starter in the package. It is now possible to start a cluster with a single command line. For example, to start a test cluster on a single machine, "arangodb --starter.local" is all you need to type. Starting on 3 machines requires a "arangodb" on the first machine and "arangodb --dataDir=./dbX --join serverX1" on the others.
If you are going to cut out carbs, but then switch to binging on high calorie foods such as cheese (the true crack-cocaine of food addiction) or nuts, don't expect any results. Some claim that cutting carbs 'naturally' leads to taking in less energy. This might be true for some, but certainly not for all.
I lost the count of times that I had to explain here in UK than we Spaniards don't go home to take a nap every day at lunch time.

My main concern at this stage is the replication setup time, which needs to be computationally expensive for the strategy to prevent generation attacks. That can possibly be amortized over long-term storage, but it sounds like it might be a long amortization period.

The body does not need exogenous carbohydrates, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Carbs are a useful tool but they are also easy to abuse.

The body is perfectly capable of deriving carbohydrates from essential fats and essential proteins.

Beyond the physical addiction there's also a lifestyle addiction, this is a similar problem chronic cigarette smokers who want to quit encounter. Sometimes they do quit and get through the physical discomfort of withdrawal but often fall back in because a pavlovian response has been built into many experiences like socializing, hanging outside and chatting, having a smoke as a break from severe stress, etc.

Because refined carbohydrates have been threaded through almost every food marketed to people in our society there are second order lifestyle addictions too which require clever environmental structuring, determination, and often times social support to overcome.

Social support is key and is often the failure point for most people. Particularly when engaging non-mainstream methods or ideas. Most people across many different social groups think the idea of self experimentation to be an alien or downright stupid idea.

[Edit] the body doesn't derive carbohydrates, it derives glucose.
Often times it is best to not say anything.
The extra sick part of this is when you watch documentaries or whatever and the obese talk about this need to eat, just feeling hungry all the time, so much so that diets are literally excruciating all I can think is "This is an addict, this person is an addict, they need help, look at these poor people, they are suffering!" and I can't believe so many other people just don't see that. No one in their right mind would ever tell a meth addict that they just need to use willpower to get over it. And the worst part is, you need to eat, you can't just not eat, so while you're recovering from a food addiction you must continue eating food. And people wonder why the failure rate is so high.

That means that you're in the not particularly large fraction of people that the pills work well for. Good for you.

For the rest of us, well, the pills can be a hell of side-effects, tolerance, and rebound ... and that's if they have any primary positive effect at all.
I sure hope they apply some local anesthesia so you don't have to feel them saw open your skull. Of course the brain itself doesn't have pain receptors, but the surrounding skin does.
Different companies have different cultures. The <2 year old startup I work for has 8 hour workdays and people commonly take 30-60 minute lunches if they want. No one cares as long as you are productive and get your stuff done. I get there at 10:15 and leave at 6:00 everyday.

Incredibly, some people (mostly business/marketing, not engineering!) still make themselves work through lunch and stay later. No idea why, but I and others are able to leave after 8 hours so it doesn't affect me.

"9-5" may be rare, but it exists.
Cutting carbs is difficult for most people because of two things: 1) withdrawal from the sugar-high that you get from eating high-glycemic-load food (like bagels / pasta), and 2) your body needs a fair amount of carbs every day

Research the ketogenic diet which is < 20 (net) carbs a day - usually in the form of just random sneak in carbs from green veggies.

Starting with a low carb diet and transitioning to keto can be done without a lot of pain and I've eaten less than ~30 carbs a day for 6 months with no loss of energy - in fact I think my energy levels have increased since going keto, but I've also lost significant weight.

Weaning off carbs is not hard.

Right, it's just that the thread that is kept waiting for database could serve other clients meanwhile. While keeping the thread sleeping, it's wasting system resources.

For example, ASP.NET has a small number of threads and each async call allows one thread to process another request.
I believe from looking at the fix [0] I was able to trace back the origin of the bug. This is my (unverified) theory. Can anybody familiar with serpent confirm?

There is a catch-all [1] function in the public API (why???) of the wallet contract which uses delegatecall to delegate to the library class.

"In a similar way, the function delegatecall can be used: the difference is that only the code of the given address is used, all other aspects (storage, balance, ...) are taken from the current contract." [2] (again, WHY???)

So calling through this catch-all function the "internal" modifier on "initMultiowned" does apparently not prevent it from being called, since the delegation happens from a function inside Wallet.

So the "attack" is to just tell the wallet to reset its owners to myself. This would be so embarrassingly trivial, that it's more like picking the money up from the floor, than a "heist".

This wallet contract is insane and the programming language too. Why would a language for such a critical application have such super unsafe constructs? This can't be true. Please, serpent community, talk to your local PL people!

> To be honest, with that explanation the decision you made has nothing to do with ternaries, and is entirely just the mirroring of the decision the if forced on you.

I like to think of it as using the dedicated tool for a job it was designed for. In my mind, it's a good rule of thumb because it enhances readability (compare "the principle of least surprise").

> Don't bury that lede. If you're restricting what you're saying to a specific language say that bold and as the very first thing, so people don't end up wasting their time parsing your post in a different context. Rude.

Why? Come on, at this point in the thread we'll still discussing C++ derivatives. I thought it was obvious.

Also: if a lanuguage has an if/else as an expression and has a ternary operator, then IMO there's a problem with that language being cluttered with duplicate syntax for the same thing.
Just combining water and powder doesn't give the right texture. In my experience, you have to use a blender, or it doesn't come out smooth. But when I use a blender, it still has a "frothy" texture that isn't quite as smooth as the stuff in the bottles they ship.

If I read the announcement correctly, the hash is computed on the last value and is distributed separately. Either I miss something or they can change ANY value in the chain and the last hash would still check out.

It is only viable to use this while constantly querying /last. If network/power/etc. outage lasts more than 60 secs, chains should be considered separate.

Or maybe I'm missing something obvious
From one of the comments there,

" Didn't you just write such code with a straight face yourself only yesterday? ;) In your bytecode interpreter example:

memory[NextUnsigned16()] = NextUnsigned8();

"Presumably the NextUnsigned8/16 functions have side effects of advancing a buffer pointer, so this is nearly the equivalent of p[x++] = ++x."
From what I've read, the craving for carbs is an adaptive evolutionary response, from an environment where food was scarce.

Carbs were only available in the summer/spring, and food became even more scarce in autum/winter. Thus, humans developed a powerful chemical response to carb intake - we crave carbs because they were the only means to fatten up and avoid starvation and death.

You're wrong, but to illustrate why: when people talk about cheese, often you'll think of France -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_paradox

It's not strictly speaking a rebuttal, but it illustrates a point quite clearly, fat is not the culprit.
The only diet that works is caloric restriction. You can follow any fad diet you want, but if you don't expend more calories than you ingest you're not going to lose weight. Replace all the carbs in your equilibrium diet with the same amount of fat per mass and you're going to start gaining weight. It's as simple as that.
It's trivial to add additional coordinators and removing coordinators no longer has a chance of affecting Foxx because the authority for the deployed services now lies with the database servers rather than the coordinators -- the coordinators are now fully disposable.
