It strikes me that the reason Firefox rose to prominence in the first place was because of the same thing: web sites all over put banners on the top of their pages (for IE users), saying something like "You should upgrade to a modern browser".

The difference is that in those days, it was the developers of many different web sites doing it. I did it on many sites I worked on. We were sick of working in IE and wanted a browser that followed web standards we could all use.

I don't think Chrome's dominance is a bad thing. Because if Chrome ever breaks the web for developers, we'll just do it all over again (or force Chrome to follow us, as we did with NaCL vs. WebAssembly).

Carbs are actually harmful.

Uniquely damaging for teeth, nobody will disprove that.

There is even a well known problem among professional sportsmen related to energy drinks and parandentosis.

Since there is no discussion about this, carbs must be generally harmful, as to eat anything, you must use your mouth.
Transfer them out to a paper or hardware wallet at a time when transactions are still visibly being hashed at a regular rate (overly cautious advice, but who's to say 100% that the miners don't decide to down tools for a day in protest?), but I'd suggest you do this a couple of days before August 1st to avoid the transactions being clobbered in the case of a fork.

Monitor the exchanges for a couple of days (you'll now be holding the coin on both sides of the fork), and when you feel the time is right to commit to one or either side, import your keys from the paper wallet to a wallet that supports the side of the fork you like the look of the most.

Basic advice is to hold, but hold safely - in a place that you have full control of your assets.

>none of those layers involve magic

This is a bold claim. How do you know? The brain could be magical.

I think everyone on this forum who is not a Christian can agreee that the Christian God is in some sense "magical". Further, Genesis 1:27 says "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

While this falls short of saying that, like God, humans are magical, to date we have no proof they are not.

In that case the brain might be, for example, a magic antenna to another plane.

See my comment here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14770230

The choices are that the brain is magical or that strong AI that can do anything a human brain can do (make judgments, parse text and images, underdtand culture, communicate intelligently with humans), is in some sense inevitable.

You cannot simply discount the possibility of magic. You must let people who are committed to denying the future have their out.

If I were speaking with Lord Kelvin I would allow him the possibility that birds are magical and not subject to the laws of physics, whereas any machine humanity might ever build is - so that it is certainly possible that in 100,000 years, no one will build a heavier-than-air flying machine.

The essence of flight might be magical. So, too, the essence of thinking.
Ah okay, I stand corrected. Thanks.
I find this unnecessarily aggressive and dismissive of people's (willfully chosen) social responsibilities. Yes, "the wife" is a convenient excuse for many things, including why you can't go out drinking tonight, even though you're really just tired from work and don't want to admit it. But presumably, if you're a decent person who has chosen to marry in this day and age, you take that choice seriously and choose your risks carefully.
I could reward if someone can help me out burning my AWS credits to mine lots of cryptocurrencies! ;)
It is also a way to procrastinate. We often do it because we want everything to be perfect. It is really fear of something not being perfect what that causes the paralysis. Reading blogs is just a way to convince your brain that you are being productive. But you are not.

So forget about perfect and just do it. Once you start moving it is easier to get going. You will get a chance to improve things later on.

I don't think cutting carbs completely out of your diet is the best move, unless you have iron will and are trying to burn off body fat quick.

The problem is that most diets (in America at least) are made up almost entirely out of carb heavy foods with little macro/micro nutrients.

Personally I shoot for a 45/30/25 (protein/fat/carb) spread which works best for me.
It is proven that everything is "harmful" and, eventually, leads to death. 100%. Another question is how certain things make you feel, short-term, as well as long-term. I think it's wise not to chase the extremes and latest developments in everything (not only diets), but to allow yourself to try and see for yourself. Many people, myself included, feel great without carbs. Improved mental clarity, energy, easier to wake up and better sleep.
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'm surprised you were hungry on low-carb. You can still eat just as many calories, and fat usually does a better job of keeping people satiated.

As for tired, you might have been low on electrolytes. Your need for electrolytes goes up on low carb.

Whenever I've tried a carb heavy diet, I always felt like I was starving myself to lose any weight at all (usually give up after 15lbs). With low carb, I barely keep track of calories and I still lose weight (although I have struggled through plateaus at times, those required skipping meals to help break through them).

I do have some difficulty staying with low carb perfectly for long periods of time though because I'm surrounded by tasty carbs and sometimes I just want to have a little.
Cython is not an implementation of Python. Cython is a weird and difficult to use mix of C and Python, where most Pythonic constructs are translated to CPython API calls that are essentially the same API calls that the Python VM would do for similar Python byte code.

In any case, CPython has no business on embedded (non-Linux) systems.
> Globalisation makes it inevitable, of course,

I would push back on this thinking that Globalization itself is inevitable. We have seen the reaction to this thinking in recent years -- you end up with Trumps, and Mays, and (almost) Le Pen's.

Greeks are a prime example -- despite the intense crisis and austerity measures, the country still values its lunch and coffee breaks, despite how much we here in the west criticize them for "being lazy"
Yep, and Palantir also. I wish my company would be more open to using it, but the patent issue makes it a non-starter for us.
Good point; I've taken that sentence out.
Well, fat certainly is worse than carbs, as far as weight loss is concerned. Fat contains twice the calories per gram compared to carbohydrates or protein, that's why things like cheese and oil are a big no-no if you're trying to lose weight. Butter is alright as long as you don't take a big ol' chomp out of a stick.
There’s a problem with SaaS startups and marketing
When I was in graduate school many foreign students noted that American food was too sweet and put in extra effort to find food that more resembled that from their home countries. This seems at odds with humans "naturally" loving sweetness-everywhere.

The other thing that makes the "carbs are fattening us" story seem incomplete (though not necessarily wrong) is that a generation or two ago obesity rates were much lower even in countries where people ate/eat carbohydrate-rich foods routinely (noodles, rice, tortillas, bread). It's not like everyone in Italy was on a ketogenic diet in the 1980s.

It seems like there must be multiple overlapping causes for the rise in obesity rates because all of the One Big Thing stories I've read about it have obvious counterexamples.
I wonder if they improved Cluster setup with this release. If you tried without DC/OS, it was painful experience. Arangodb Starter was definitely a step in right direction.

I was like "dry drowning doesn't exist," but we called a nursing hotline which told us to go to the ER. The doctor checked out the kid, then asked us for the number of the nursing hotline so she could yell at them for sending parents to the ER over a condition that doesn't exist.

>using something like biofuel is easy.

Or better yet, an EV truck (ala Tesla Semi) ultimately powered by stationary PV.

Per the video, studies vary on whether biofuels input more or less fossil fuel energy as they output in biofuel energy. But in the best case it's still terribly inefficient, requiring 30-200x more land versus using PV arrays to power electric vehicles.[1] And using rooftop PV (sometimes dismissed because it's more expensive) reduces the resulting pressure on wilderness and agricultural land by 'reusing' land that's already been developed.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is DFW?
Of course, most of us would do that to ourselves. But calling it "neglect" to someone else is a different thing.
Literally nobody here takes 3 hour lunch breaks. A lot of offices have 2 hours, yeah, but this is becoming less and less common regardless. Small shops do close for 3 hours in the middle of the day, but they are open till about 9pm which is a lot more useful than being open in the middle of the day. It also should be noted that there are actually 5 meals in a spaniard's day. There's a mid-morning and late-afternoon snack, which is the actual reason for the "late" lunch and dinners.

Also, all changing the timezone would do is give us useless light early in the morning and less light in the evening to go out and play sports, hang out in the park etc. People would still eat at the same time regardless. It gets dark at 6pm in the winter and 10pm in the summer. It's not exactly crazy.
> How do they suggest that?

It might be a convention in some circles. I don't think it's a well-established one, though.

For me, ternaries strongly suggest "expressions being run for its return value", but without any indication whether or not it's side effect-free. In practice, most of the time such expressions end up being side effect-free (getters, finders, etc.), but every now and then you do want to have a stateful expression (e.g. getting something from a map, and storing a default value there if the key is missing in the map). I believe such stateful expressions are fine to use with ternaries as well.
> your body needs a fair amount of carbs every day, and people are cutting bad carbs without replacing them with good carbs, and thus experiencing an inescapable craving for carbs.

Not true. While it might be true that your body (e.g. your brain) needs some glucose, this can easily be synthesised by your liver from fat as required once you have been running on ketones for a few weeks. You do not need "good" carbs to survive.
Being a good, secure language for writing smart contracts is absolutely one of the most important goals for Solidity. I can say so because I have been involved as a regular contributor to the compiler for more than a year. If onboarding a lot of people to the platform quickly were the goal instead, they would have ported some crippled version of Java or JS and called it a day.

The problem is that it's just not easy to get all those details right from day 1, and interest in Ethereum has grown way faster than its capacity to produce a reliable, mature set of tools around it.
"Your fault" and "neglect" are very different things. Accidents happen and accusing someone of neglect every time there's an accident is ridiculous.
I cut carbs and have not looked back. I have even developed a dislike of them. Our stomachs adjust to what we eat and after a while, eating two slices of pizza just doesn't sit well.

I found always going for the lesser of two evils was a big help. Sweet potato over regular potatoes. Vanilla Haagen-Daz over Ben and Jerry's (has lower sugar and more fat). whole wheat wrap with some sort of high fat salad (e.g. chicken salad) over a roll with just turkey and cheese. You wind up just developing a preference that isn't necessarily one of exclusion.
This points out the subjective failures of science, IMO. Just because there's no evidence for something doesn't mean it won't make you happy. Obviously if there are health issues it should be addressed, but this seems to be more motivated by a personal vendetta than science.

If something makes you happy and improves your quality of life, why not do it as long as the positives outweigh the negatives? You could argue that the products are all psychological if you want, and that doesn't make them any less useful. Possibly more so.

Science is about reducing uncertainty. It is not about suppressing hobbies that seem offensive or weird.
I've posted these numbers before, but I'll post them again because they are so low as to be totally unintuitive:

Normal human blood sugar [1]: 70-100 milligrams per deciliter of blood.

Blood volume of average human [2]: 5.5 liters

Thus, total blood sugar in non-diabetic human: 3.85 to 5.5 grams

Density of glucose: 1.54 grams per cubic centimeter

Thus, total volume of sugar in average human: 2.5 to 3.6 milliliters

Volume of teaspoon: ~5ml

Your body does its best to cap the amount of sugar flowing through you at about one-half teaspoon. A 12 ounce can of coke has 39 grams of sugar, or 7-10 times what the human body considers normal. It's a tremendous shock to the system - the resulting insulin response sends your body on a roller coaster of hormone regulation.

It doesn't even seem to be the responsibility of Redux, which more so is consider with prescribing _how_ data and actions flow through your system, not how exactly those calls touch the outside world.

I don't like employing the phrase "separation of concerns" that often / without serious thought, but this is seems to be a valid use case for it. Presentation components shouldn't care about how fetches data, they should ideally just be a function of their props. Even container components should only care about what data they are accessing, not how it comes to be in the data store.

What you're asking for could just be a plain JS library - when you ask for certain routes in your app, fetch some data. When it comes in, handle all those edge cases you describe. Update the data store. When that happens, we're finally back in Redux land. It doesn't care about how you fetch your data, all it cares about is _that_ you touched it at all.

Not with that attitude, no. But if that is too much to ask of them, in light of why it's needed, why should they be cops? If it's too much for us to ask it from them, how are we citizens? I'm not American, but it's not like I'm happy with the state of things in my "own" country either, and feel those things, those responsibilities, are rather universal.

If you don't practice singing, and never sing, you're not a singer, and if it was written in your passport that you are anyway that would just show that letters can't help the order they get arranged in. If we put up with this kind of stuff, we're not being citizens in any sense I would find valuable, no matter what else we might do or enjoy.

For every cop planting evidence and being as dumb about it as this one, how many are never found out? How many people rot in jail as we speak or are dead because of that? And does anyone remember Colin Powell's WMD presentation in front of the UN? So they didn't "plant evidence", but really, if this is the top, and if it's accepted by millions of people, what's a cop planting some drugs or killing some incapacitated people in self-defense? I'm not saying one excuses the other, but the fish does stink from the head, too.
Thanks for that information; I'm not expert enough to respond to the scientific claim that you made, but what I can say is that I suspect I'm using the term "need" in a less-strict sense than you are, to mean "if a person is not consuming any carbs, that person is likely going to eventually feel some level of 'healthy' craving for carbs".
The biases tend to show up in the details that are left out rather than any details that are falsified. That's what tends to make it so hard for the general public, because if you don't know what's being left out before you read the story you only get the perspective being framed.

That's the trouble with fact check. It gives the illusion of that you're seeing the entire picture when you could just be looking through a keyhole and not know it.

Algorithms, Bias, and Beautiful Women
This whole article is some sort of nonsense straw man. Of course if you space small amounts of data spaced out so that they are all far apart you will have bad performance. When people talk about 'alignment' they are talking about 32, 64 or 128 bit for atomics and 128, 256, and 512 bit for SIMD. Putting 8 bytes at the beginning of a 4096 byte section and the next 8 bytes right next to it isn't 'unaligned access'.

Two cache lines of 64 bytes each are cached on even a single byte access, so of course it will be faster to pack data together, but who thought differently? It also saves TLB cache misses as well and if accessed linearly will be prefetched.
Good catch; I've updated the wording I used.
>Clearly they can eliminate the local feeling of the surgery

They don't really do this, your brain has no pain receptors so you can't feel what they are doing by default. I do not think they would use any sort of drug to stop people from freaking out as well, because they would imply that the drug is messing with your brain chemistry in some way which can cloud any problems they are trying to notice.

The whole idea behind the awake brain surgery is to quickly notice any changes in cognitive function from the person being operated on.
