Lots of ordinary activities present a similar or greater risk of head injury than cycling. Do you wear a helmet to get into the bathtub? Do you wear a helmet to climb the stairs?

The problem with the helmet debate isn't that it's wrong, but that it's irrelevant. Every minute spent arguing about helmets is a minute that isn't spent making the most important point - cyclists live longer than non-cyclists, regardless of whether they wear a helmet. Wear a helmet, don't wear a helmet, it doesn't really matter. TO AVOID A PREMATURE DEATH, MOVE YOUR BODY.

Just because you don't need reproducible builds doesn't mean nobody needs them.

As soon as some tool is used to provide reproducible builds, you have effective version pinning.

If your organization values avoiding technical debt accumulation over reproducable builds, they don't don't have to use version pinning and can always run 'go get' with the '-u' flag.

> once package users are using version pinning, it's easier for package maintainers to make changes that aren't backwards compatible.

I don't think ease of making backwards incompatible changes with vgo. Both before and after vgo, backwards incompatible changes must go in a new major version / new import path. The ability to pin major versions already exists.
Never expected that something could be blamed for being too useful.

"Many of the most important antitrust lawsuits in American history — against IBM, Alcoa, Kodak and others — were rooted in claims that one company had made technological discoveries that allowed it to outpace competitors."

Does that say more about the success of antitrust at spurring competitors to catch up or that "technological dominance" is only good as long as long as the paradigm doesn't shift (i.e. Kodak is now pretending to be a crypto company as a last resort)?

Thank you. And if you compare the recommendations to supplement sales, it is probably much more aligned than the headline would suggest. Sales of vitamin D, B12, folic acid, etc would total in the billions of dollars, and thus make up a large percent of the industry.

But this guide isn't comprehensive at all, and doesn't go into the evidence for the multitude of vitamins, whereas other researchers have tried to synthesize more of that data. [1]

You're asking questions which go against the bias, and cannot be answered without exposing deficiencies in the appeal to nature the "whole foods are best" ideology is founded on. It's disconcerting to see a fallacy being eaten whole by so many.

This page:

https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFalla...

has this sentence:

> There are many natural things that are better than unnatural, but they must be evaluated based on other criteria besides the “naturalness”.

which sums up the whole thing nicely.

That's funny because I am a native French speaker and I find German to be a very pleasing language to speak out loud. The sonorities are oddly satisfying to me.

Those are all good steps, and I do want to say, I think our society would be in a better position if more people were concerned about this as you are. I am sorry to be saying these downer things. I don't mean to be defeatist or tell you that there's no hope. It's just that the situation is really that dire.

Phone cameras are high res. If you live in a city or go out in public often in busy places, then the sheer number of people taking selfies and photos is immense and makes it likely that over time, each of us is caught repeatedly in these photos.

With Facebook et. al's newfound face recognition and social scale, people who have never heard of a computer or phone or Facebook can now be automatically identified and tracked throughout the real world just by your face in other people's social photos.

I realize this dystopia might not accurate portray your life, but it is also meant as a comment for others. Privacy is not an individual choice any more. Our social networks have forced a change in expected privacy and there's little that we can do right now to change that, as the profit motives for the corporations like Facebook are aligned this way.

Note: Yes, being in public has an element of privacy. It is reasonable to expect that if you buy some groceries at a store in Atlanta, and the next week walk to Central Park in NYC, that a company in San Francisco who you have no relationship with would not know about it. But that expectation is now gone, and already it seems wild that we could have ever had it. That is a kind of privacy that is lost forever.

Having your metabolism drop should mean that the individual can adjust their eating / activity levels to compensate, but only if they are paying attention and NOT falling back into old habits. I'll bet they aren't. The article says that Sean Algaeir put back on all the weight he lost (~170 lbs). That's not yo-yo weight. That's return to normal behavior weight.

"Mr. Cahill knew he could not maintain his finale weight of 191 pounds. He was so mentally and physically exhausted he barely moved for two weeks after his publicity tour ended. But he had started a new career giving motivational speeches as the biggest loser ever, and for the next four years, he managed to keep his weight below 255 pounds by exercising two to three hours a day. But two years ago, he went back to his job as a surveyor, and the pounds started coming back." <- he went back to old habits and gained the weight back.

Like the quote from Dina Mercado says - "The cravings are there.” I'll bet after a time they gave up and largely went back to your old habits.

> I truly understand the skepticism especially when starting this company. That's why we are putting standards and QA processes to make sure our vitamins are pure and not filled with 99% fillers as most vitamins do.

The skepticism isn’t the purity of the vitamins, it’s that they work at all (and safely).

Who you’re targeting isn’t relevant to the raised concern.

Please provide evidence that “supplementation is working for them.”

> But if you look are high-quality liquid vitamins on the market now, it's about on average $20 per bottle per vitamin that would last you about month. And you'll probably have to buy a micro-scale to properly weight out the right amount.

Steering the question away from raised concern, which is whether or not supplements are beneficial at all, not how much they cost.

Can't disagree with that.
Yeah, I think poorly maintained or particularly obscure articles should simply be flagged as such for the user. If it's really poor or has major problems which cannot be fixed, sure, go ahead and delete it, but deleting documents just because they're rarely accessed doesn't seem like the point of Wikipedia. At the very least, the content could be put into a long term archive of some sort instead of outright deleted. I mean, database partitioning exists for a reason.
Indeed, one of the advantages monads give is the abstraction over different types of computations with side effects (state, exceptions, non-determinism etc)

The article has to be special to get readership. If people knew it was the same old, same old said in a different way, nobody would care.

The problem is that CICO (Calories-In/Calories-Out) is the only possible way to lose (or gain) weight. Literally every valid, non-pseudoscientific diet is going to be another way to get to reduced caloric input in a sustainable fashion, because sustaining a caloric deficit is genuinely difficult.
100% of the time spend driving is inside the car.

Hence it is very important that manufacturers focus on the in car experience more so than exterior. And in this respect Tesla is pathetic. There really isn't a better word to describe how Tesla can offer cheap-Korean interior quality at the prices they do.
They are using external libraries... I can't tell if it's a joke but if it's not then no, you didn't do it in less than 280 characters. Otherwise I can generate the mona lisa with 3 characters: m()
My point is that you wouldn't know it from the article. It makes it sound like you should implement AMP for user experience and fast loading, despite then going on to detail the ways in which it compromises user experience.

When a big company like Airbnb jumps on a technology bandwagon people notice, and write-ups like this influence the choices other organisations make. They could at least just be upfront about the reasons why they're doing it.
Yeah it's crazy that there's still so much controversy around this topic considering Node and Ruby have had amazing dependency management for over half a decade at this point. Dependency management in those languages is pretty much a solved problem and the fact that go isn't there yet drives me nuts since I have to work with it every day for my job.

This so much. It is my only real complaint about notebooks. Would be so much nicer if a notebook was split in two files, like `my-notebook.input.ipynb` and `my-notebook.output.ipynb`, where `my-notebook.input.ipynb` would only contain code and be editable with any text editor similar to a .md file (and not some verbose xml). The output would contain all outputs, so that would be easily separated from the input if needed.

I can see the benefits of stuffing everything into a single file, but separating would be so much better IMHO. Version control is too important to mess with. Sometimes I want input and output to be version controlled, sometimes I only want the input. By splitting I can easily do that with simple .gitignore rules.

I read your tweets and totally agree that data science interviewing is really bizarre. I have a PhD and currently work as a principal data scientist at a large company, but I've been interviewing with some other companies and the interviews are outright strange.

I've had questions ranging from reversing strings on a whiteboard to checking for valid email addresses. I had another question about flipping biased coins and calculating probabilities. It's all nonsense and totally unrelated to the skills I developed during my PhD which primarily consisted of performing massive amounts of machine learning on high performance computing systems over large sets of data to extract important insights.

But — if solving these algorithm puzzles quickly and without errors is the key to a $300k+ job, so be it. I'll just practice this nonsense until I've optimized for the skill of "interviewing", and then maybe I can contribute in some kind of meaningful way to the company with actual data science.
"Because mutation gives you tremendous flexibility ... Haskell on the other is using math to construct its patterns" - so mutation is somehow outside of math?
There's a big gap between someone at a company signing up for a trial and them getting enough convincing leverage to get the company to consider that seriously.

All too often someone at the company is getting their problem solved (possibly by the free/trial plan), but they aren't at a position where they are able to drive any purchases whatsoever for that company.
That's horrible.

But I can grasp some beauty in the ugliness already.

> Using the min version appears to eschew the need for lock files.

This only works if the system also prevents you from publishing a version of a package with a lower number than any previously-published version of that package.

So, for example, after you've shipped foo 1.3.0, if a critical security issue is found in foo 1.2.0, you can't ship foo 1.2.1. Instead, all of your users have to deal with revving all the way up to foo 1.3.1 where you're allow to publish a fix.

It's not clear to me why they're trying so hard to avoid lockfiles. Lockfiles are great.
Correct.

I was addressing the "closed source software" aspect, because some level is trust is required in the server for key distribution regardless of source availability.
A calorie is a measure of engery. The laws of physics say that if you consumer fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight, because your body needs fuel to operate.

Now, your body might try to compensate and change metabolism in response to this, so that you unwittingly burn fewer calories than you consume. And yes, the types of food you're eating can affect this. But ultimately, our bodies are not perpetual motion machines, and cannot expend more energy than they take in as fuel, over the long term.

In my (totally amateur) perception, there are three different ways to be "hungry". First is hungry for calories (blood sugar may be involved here). Second is hungry for nutrients (cravings may be at least somewhat caused by this). And third is hungry for volume - your stomach physically is empty.

Eating vegetables and whole foods helps with the second and third, and somewhat with the first. By not eating highly processed foods, your blood sugar doesn't spike and then crash. (I think of it as the difference between using coal and jet fuel to make a fire.)
In a large enough organization, improving site performance is hard, as you have to win political battles against your marketing / bizdev teams, denying them the analytics packages they want in the name of performance.

"We could do that, but then we'd lose the special AMP placement on Google SERPs" is a much more compelling argument, and preferable to starting a proxy war between the CMO and the CTO.

Google has done a hell of a job flexing their Search muscles to encourage the behavior they want, here. All the while somehow open-washing the project so that SEO-types make the ridiculous statements you quoted, implying that AMP isn't a Google owned-and-run project.

On an engineering level, I respect AMP. From an anti-competitive / social engineering perspective, it's absolutely terrifying.
Works pretty good. Incidentally, I just locked myself from my own server. This double as a security tester! :o)

- warm: Sure, no argument here. Very warm..

- fast: No. Maybe. Let's hope that you don't ignore traffic lights: There are so many places that don't even care about bikes (underpasses/overpasses exist, but are hard to reach or less friendly to bikes by requiring you to ... wait for an elevator). You can understand the layout of the city, start riding and you will end up stranded. You will need to backtrack. The city hates bikes.

- safe: Yeah ... No. Singapore is not insane, but it's crazy enough. People don't understand turning signals. Drivers instead like to push into the direction they want to go, expecting everyone around them to follow along. This is, with no pun, in traffic terms a Little India.

I personally am fine to drive a bike here and being a nuisance, but most people don't do that. Literally everyone on the road is an asshole, some of these assholes drive Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini or whatnot. You do NOT want to scratch those stupid idiot's cars with your bike.

Traffic in Singapore is a huge and utter mess. Do not ride a bike here unless you're convinced that it's a good idea...

I don't know, I really think at its core it is that simple. I worked remote for 12 years as a developer, sysadmin/devops (multi-hat deal with a small company) with no issues whatsoever. I got my projects done. It does require discipline, good communication skills and a bit of organization, but if you don't have those skills already you are bound to fail in any endeavour IMO. But you are correct it is not common. Probably b/c historically: 1) there is the belief if we can't see you you are screwing around 2) Employers do take a chance that they are getting someone who does not have the skills to thrive in that type of environment (who wants to spend all the resources hiring/training to find out)

EDIT: Also if you have the skills to work remote (or partial remote) you will never want to go back to the old "must be in the office every day" job again ;)
