Right, the rest of the article is ok. My quibble is with the implication in the first two paragraphs. It says the standard prescription is to reduce the amount of calories, and then says the new study "turn(s) that advice on its head", implying that calorie reduction isn't the solution after all. But it still is! It's just a question of how you go about doing it. There's nothing about "reduce the calories you consume" that means you must exercise strict portion control and calorie-count and go to bed hungry. It just means reduce your calorie intake. And a great way to do that is to change the types of food you're eating.

The important takeaway from the study here is that by adjusting your diet, you can reduce your calorie intake without feeling like you're eating less, which is a lot more sustainable than calorie-counting (and leaves you a lot happier too). But the key point here is still reducing your calorie intake. If you're adjusting your diet, you need to pick a diet that does in fact result in fewer calories. If you switch to mostly vegetables, but liberally douse your veggies with lots of oil and butter, you're not actually reducing your calories.
Calorie restriction becomes much easier when you're substituting calorie dense foods with more calorically sparse ones. It's hard to continually fight the hunger caused by just eating less over time.

I am pretty sure this is exactly the problem semantic versioning is trying to solve. You only pin to the major version, which is supposed to ensure no breaking change occurs.
Right; but it’s calorie restriction through food choice rather than limiting portion size which makes it feel like less of a sacrifice. You just have to change your filter of “things I like to eat” to include less calorie-dense foods, rather than “I like this thing I’m eating but I should stop halfway just to be good”
How would you specify dependencies on a commit/tag in a particular branch (say, during development I always want to build with the HEAD of the development branch for this module)? I know I could clone what I want somewhere and use a replace directive inside the go.mod file, but I was wondering if there's any way to do this using only vgo.

> When you consider the evaluation of a dependency graph in the context of a SAT solver, you realize that the solver would consider both a minimal and maximal version as potentially satisfying the general constraints found in a dependency graph. Whether you then optimize the solution for a minimal or maximal version becomes a matter of policy, not correctness.

I believe rsc is hoping they can avoid the need for a SAT solver entirely by going with minimum versions (and, implied, not allowing a newer package to be published with a lower version number).

I am not sure I understand. How does someone using a different mechanism to spread disinformation post election indicate success of their pre election mechanisms for spreading disinformation? Both are problems and need fixing, but only pre election disinformation is relevant to the election result.
At the end of the road calorie count doesn't matter as much as the precedence placed, quality of calories does. A calorie in a sugar packet isn't remotely the same value as a calorie of broccoli. The focus on count in this conversation is missing the point. And until someone goes down the path of trying a whole foods based shift in their diet long term I fully believe that is lost on people, unfortunately.
> Unless you do a masters degree in Data Science, AI, CS, Statistics, or a related field, a masters degree only serves as proof that you are intelligent and work hard. Someone without a masters degree can still have those attributes, but they would just have to prove it some other way.

I think the commenter’s point is (implicitly) about specific, directly relevant Master’s degrees. Obviously a general Master’s wouldn’t provide much of an advantage. The difficulty isn’t demonstrating intelligence and work ethic, it’s demonstrating targeted expertise.

> People without a masters degree, but more business experience, bring a different perspective, and are often more business results focused, and potentially work more collaboratively than an individual who just graduated from a masters program.

To be honest with you, this sounds to me like complete speculation. I’m not saying it’s wrong; rather it seems like it’s at best unempirical, and at worst unfalsifiable. The qualifiers you’re using (like “potentially”, or “often”) don’t seem like strong heuristics.

I think it would be helpful to discuss straightforward job descriptions. For most real data science roles, I would not weight any of what you’ve listed (except collaboration) as being remotely as useful as demonstrable expertise in computer science and statistics. For candidates without a Master’s degree, I wouldn’t take business experience or lack thereof as a signal whatsoever - I’d look for a relevant heuristic to replace it.

You'd have to have all permutations of any length password in the css file AND it would have to be pre-filled using the value attribute.

The original post on this talks about it in more detail:

https://www.mike-gualtieri.com/posts/stealing-data-with-css-...

Summary: A method is detailed - dubbed CSS Exfil - which can be used to steal targeted data using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) as an attack vector. Due to the modern web's heavy reliance on CSS, a wide variety of data is potentially at risk, including: usernames, passwords, and sensitive data such as date of birth, social security numbers, and credit card numbers. The technique can also be used to de-anonymize users on dark nets like Tor. Defense methods are discussed for both website operators as well as web users, and a pair of browser extensions are offered which guard against this class of attack.
Don't think of it as /version/ pinning. Think of it as Interface / API pinning.

A //public library// should have a well thought out interface that works at least for one project and preferably for several different projects.

If the interface needs to change I agree with the recommended semantics of planning what that change should look like and creating a new named interface (API) for that specification.

Since go expects everything to build against the 'latest' version of an interface, it should be obvious what's wrong if a stale cached version is in use. Thus /expanding/ an interface / API is permissible. They should be thought of as /write only/.
Sorry, maybe generics next.
I, too, have similar concerns. For people who are taking supplements now have mostly qualitative data to show efficacy of supplements in general. Some people go beyond taking the steps of blood panels, for example.

What we are doing is finding ways to quantify how supplements are working for people. And we strive for is finding those metrics to better understand how people can improve in their health.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply and also in giving that link - very much appreciated. I'll look at your site and the Udemy one and weigh up what's best for me at the moment.

My experience of Wikipedia is that very little is deleted if it has citations to a reliable source (like a book by a reputed publisher, say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable...). Notability can be the reason for deletion of an article, especially about people or companies or bands (because typically the people involved create the article), but usually, having citations in reliable sources generally implies notability as well.

(At least, that's my impression. You can gain your own impression by looking at history, e.g. for article-deletion, here's the discussion/debate log from a day in the middle of last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... )

Unfortunately, stuff that someone wrote on Wikipedia by themselves (without reference to some other source) does tend to get deleted, even if the person who wrote happened to be an expert… but that's the goal of Wikipedia: to summarized published material, rather than to contain original material. (See the “No original research” policy page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research )

This policy does mean there's less useful information on Wikipedia than there could potentially be, but there do exist people who make up stuff, so having uncited material is problematic.

NYT has their head in the sand and is in full on damage control over the Mueller indictment of a dozen internet trolls. The so-called “troll factory” is pretty old news, reported widely in Russia last year. [1]

They just keep writing these articles trying to “fact check” or otherwise disassemble a qualified primary source inside FB which goes against their narrative.

NYT talks about the “millions of dollars” that Russia spent on the troll factory (how many millions? I’ve read that would be $2) to “influence the election”. The majority of which was spent after the election. The great Russian stolen election comes down to this?

Either the Russians are exponentially better at advertising than the best minds in the DNC, or maybe the Russian boogeyman story is losing its shine.

The NYT (and MSM media in general) is doing Russia’s job for them, which I have to assume is more than Moscow could have ever dreamed of. This is why Trump tweets they are laughing their asses off.

People are desperate to see Trump’s election as illegitimate rather than confront the much scarier reality of why he won. Personally I rather hope the DNC figures this out sooner than later, and finds a candidate and a platform that is electable by 2024.

No it does not. CSS selectors do not apply to input content and `[value]` selectors apply to attributes, which are not updated by just typing in it.

This is not a CSS keylogger if you need to update the attributes with the input value via JS.

Edit: this apparently works on React sites because React seems to update the `value` attribute as well. Maybe that should be fixed as it’s unnecessary.

It's one of those things that you arrive at yourself. You rarely, if ever, understand them from Haskell-ish mathematical-ish constructs like these.

Sometimes you could end up with this code in situations like this:

const data = getDataForUser(user);
const transformer = getTransformersForGDPR();
const sanitizedData = transformer(data);

where getTransformersForGDPR returns a single function that may contain a chain of data transformations.

The example is contrived, of course, but you do end up with similar constructs especially if you have been exposed to functional programming.
I think you only feel this way as you generally agree with the process and "rules" around payment and settlement. Would you feel differently if you had a embarrassing or frowned-upon hobby, or didn't agree with some change to the centralized, public payment system?

That might be an option to learn from, but it's not my end goal. As a senior sysadmin who was working for and reporting to PHD execs, I saw directly how what was needed was someone to do the data science and then bring convincing results and reports to the execs, essentially distilling the knowledge and wisdom of what needed to be done. I really want to fill that disconnect. (eg one of my failures as a sysadmin was me focusing too much on the technical, and now I want to expand and play the business board room politics game, but with data science)

There are a lot of small companies offering that - a mix of SaaS and custom development.

In a previous company, we built a SaaS platform (based on Odoo, a kind of semi-open-source web version of SAP) which allowed clients to purchase changes to any part of the application. Unlike in a typical SaaS, each client had its isolated copy of the app/database/etc (though all running on our cloud), so they could change anything. Some changed nothing, others have whole new components and business flows.

Antirez on Facebook as the root cause of all evil
The consistency is a vastly underrated quality of bike commuting. One amazing thing I've found is I'm more likely to do social events after work, even ones that are a great distance, if I don't have to worry about traffic.

For example, sometimes after I work I bicycle 90 minutes to San Jose and don't think twice about it. If I had my car it would PROBABLY take 45 minutes, but I honestly have no idea. Or I could go home, and drive to the train station, and catch the train, then walk. But the bike gives me the freedom to not worry about schedules and also not stress about delays.

It sounds so silly to prefer to ride for twice as long as I'd drive and consider that a "win", but there's some kind of psychological block to dealing with traffic and the fact that a 15 minute drive instead takes 45 or 30 or 50 or 60 minutes.. but when the bicycle ride takes 90 minutes with or without traffic, it's so much more appealing.

"The Industrial Revolution put farmers out of work, but not because farming became illegal"

Not completely true, see the Inclosure Acts
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclosure_Acts

It's not unique to England either, it's just well documented there. Generally speaking the process of removing subsistence hunters, herders and farmers off of land they have historically lived off takes place with violence - not because they can't pay the rent anymore.

Additionally, the claim on the land of the people who are generally doing the displacing is usually questionable at best...

This isn't a matter of history either, taking land held in common by indigenous people with little if any recompense is a process that continues today in many parts of the world.
Yea, I've seen that explanation before, but it smells a lot like "postdiction" where you make up an explanation after the fact. I find it very hard to believe that "almost no C developer" understands unsigned arithmetic. And I'd doubt you'd get any argument from someone who understands both signed and unsigned, that signed arithmetic is the harder to understand of the two. But, even if he were correct, it still doesn't make sense, as abstracting away the complexity of common operations is exactly what high level languages are for.
As someone who has looked at the course also, I'd be really interested in hearing your thoughts on the class. I'm quite sure it's all good stuff, but like all things only really hear about the success stories. A genuine appraisal of the coaching, course materials and time involvement would be really, really interesting.
>whatever sugary things you eat, you will eat more than you otherwise would without feeling satiated

There is no scientific merit to this frequent claim. [1]

In fact, a comparative study on dieters using diet soda versus water shown that the water group lost less mass, hypothetically because they were feeling hungrier and less satisfied with their diet, thus more likely to succumb to sugary foods.
