> Purely anecdotal, but...

It’s not just anecdotal, it’s bad reasoning. You can’t prove that your supplement prevented you from getting sick. Maybe you were immune to whatever was going around. Maybe you didn’t touch your face at the right times. Maybe you washed your hands really well. There are thousands of possible explanations, and it’s misleading and wrong to attribute it to some random supplement.

Please stop doing that. It’s the same reasoning people use when they say that they prayed and God answered. Just because B happens after A doesn’t mean that A caused B; it just means B happened after A.
I'm confused and intrigued by this comment. I complete agree that Unix is not at all axiomatic, but also think that Windows is a pain to develop for. clarify?
> Besides, that shit sounds beyond awesome on viola.

I agree. There's a fantastic recording of one of my favorite violists today, Antoine Tamestit, playing Bach's second partita. It's his appropriately named album "Chaconne", and it also includes the Ligeti viola sonata, which is probably one of the hardest things I've seen written for viola. Ugh, it's one piece that I just don't even know how to begin practicing. :)
I mean in particular causing chaos for luck.
To me this is not very surprising to me, since in Germany there exists a well-known children's game called "Durch eine Postkarte steigen" ("step through a postcard"), where - as the naming suggests - you have to step through a postcard while you are only allowed to use scissors to cut the postcard in a clever way.

Here a German YouTube video that shows how it is done (you don't have to understand anything that is spoken, since I think the video is quite self-explanatory):

There is very little conclusive evidence that suggests probiotics are actually useful. In the EU and USA companies are not able to claim health benefits from them legally.

If you're on Buster or newer I would look into it. If Stretch and prior you'll get a very outdated version that is not as customizable.

I'm on Buster currently. It was as easy as installing budgie-desktop and restarting.
Low orbit would also be a lot more difficult; when you scale a planet's radius and mass to preserve surface gravity, all delta-v requirements scale as the square root of the of radius.
Faire enough.
As a (relatively) young less developer, I love it if my team members put on their own initiative – as long as it doesn't affect the deadlines dramatically. Sometimes developers want to implement the feature they're working on in the best possible way, while what there project really needs instead is ten different features, implemented just well enough.
I'm in the middle of a sleepless night now and am already feeling that familiar high.

I've never met anyone beyond family who could relate -- especially about the cognitive improvements, this is when I do my best work! This is an exceptionally interesting post for me.

Much of my mother's side is bipolar and it continues in me. As long as I can remember noticing, I run through 3 very definitive emotional states:

* I am feeling productive and withdraw from society. I get frustrated when I'm unable to work and often go without sleep to make up lost time

* I am feeling social and withdraw from the extreme productivity. I simply don't want to sleep when I can have late night company

* I am feeling depressed and withdraw from everything and everyone. I am inconsolable and confused by my mood. I eventually and magically get sick of it, often after a sleepless night

The sleep deprivation is a critical part of my natural rhythm now that I really think about it. The article rings deeply true.
Just to clarify: when you say BPD here, do you mean bipolar disorder, or borderline personality disorder? I've only known it as the latter (and a quick Google search agrees), but from context I assume you mean the former?
It was a series of beer commercials from the mid-late 80s. The premise if I remember correctly was a guy walking up to a bar and saying “hey give me a light.” And then some ridiculous light would be given to him that was most often not a beer. Then he would say no a bud light to great fanfare and cheering.

That would be true if we had no other data to go on, but we do: the fusion triple product, which has to exceed a threshold for net power. The JT-60 tokamak in Japan reached a triple product in 1999, using D-D fuel, that would have barely exceeded breakeven if they'd been using D-T. Fifty years ago we were nowhere near that close.
No. That sounds like an interesting idea though!

when i think of blockchain as it is, im not focused on “currency” as much as I am focused on accurasy - in that I am looking at blockchain asa soluition to tracability for things such as agri

so we can complain about how maybe there is hype in the blockchain space when it revolves around currency exclusively - but there are valid reasons to use it for things other than money.... thus, I like the idea of blockchain intrinsicly

For shoebot, we have a plugin to turn it into something like processing.

It's been a complete pain to keep maintained, as Gtk changed the way it handled menus through the years (breaking our plugin).

Next up is Gtk 4. I guess it isn't so bad, since shoebot is out of date being python 2 and all, so I'll probably implement something new.

TLDR - I would really appreciate an editor agnostic way of writing these kind of plugins, with options to add menu items, do things on keybindings etc.
You might have a great place, but I would generally avoid any company with the "family" talk - it's a very common tactic to generate additional loyalty for no monetary investment, and you later find you might be in an abusive family.
That seems counterintuitive, a team has to implement the idea. A bad idea can be successful with a good team. And yes a good idea can become successful with a bad team.

But personally I would put my money on the good team over the bad regardless of the idea
Renewables are cheap when backed up by natural gas plants, but wouldn't be especially cheap if you built enough storage to run civilization on them.

I certainly think we should build renewables as fast as we can, because they're available now and a long way from the market share that requires a lot of expensive storage. But down the road, it's entirely possible that advanced nuclear power sources, whether fusion or advanced fission like MSRs, will be more economical than building enormous amounts of battery storage. (We do have cheap hydro storage but that's geographically limited.)
> taking a quality multi-vitamin

I try to be cautious with vitamins. It appears that taking them in pill form might not be safe. I switched to a high-nutrient diet that focuses on getting nutrients from food wherever possible.

That is so true as I am catching up now on a Saturday. You also learn to not roll your own solutions and check a second or third time for a solution on Github or open source community.... and check again if you don't find it.

It's said that practical fusion energy is always 10 years in the future. I see this project innovates and projects instead 15 years in the future!

Communism/Socialism/central planning is making a comeback. It is though every generation must personally re-learn all the painful lessons of history. Quite distressing.
As a pianist from the age of 5 my ranking would be Mozart, Bach, than Beethoven. Mozart was a prodigy on a level unheard of. He wrote in so many different genres and such a short time period. Mostly though, is the pure beauty and lyricism of his music. The consistency of quality. The Requiem and the Magic Flute are required listening.
He's also got the wonderful pairing of both a smooth ear butter voice and the talent of communicating well.

Windows is only a pain to develop for when approaching it with UNIX expectations.

Developing on Windows is similar to Xerox PARC workflows, made mainstream by MacOS, Atari, Amiga, Oberon, and naturally Windows.

For any developer using Java, .NET, Delphi, C++ (VC++ / C++ Builder), Windows is pretty good developer workstation.
Sure. And a large part of the point of global governance (whether EU, UN, ICC in Hague, etc) are to try and solve the collective action problem of morality, labour standards, environmental standards etc by collective agreement and collective punishment for breaking agreements.

Arguing against this using "sovereignty" and other criticisms of international governance are arguments in favour of amoral and beggar thy neighbour policies. The right argument, IMO is to try and stay within such organizations and fix them from the inside.
> What you described above was the effect of hard Brexit. Hard Brexit wasn't even on the cards until some time after the vote, and is still not confirmed even now.

There are only three real options:

- retain some kind of single market, which requires retaining freedom of movement; this is the Norway option, where we give up our vote but continue paying. Hard to see what the advantage of this is, and it will not give the government the right to deport Polish plumbers and nursing home workers that so many people desperately want to do. This is "pointless Brexit", where we become marginally worse off but the Leavers aren't satisfied.

Care home worker availability is already becoming a problem: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/brexit-care-...

- Hard Brexit. No freedom of movement, customs barriers, no free movement of services. Some sort of fiasco on the Irish border, the M20 is turned into a lorry park ( https://www.ft.com/content/7ff7c97c-b33c-11e7-a398-73d59db9e... ), and the UK's financial services and just-in-time manufacturing businesses start having to move to Europe.

- Disaster Brexit. The UK persists, Greece-style, in asking for options which the EU has already agreed not to give them. No decisions are made and no planning is done. Home Office issues "go home" notices to the 3 million EU nationals here informing them that they are now illegal immigrants and it is illegal for them to have a bank account, be a tenant, be employed or go to the doctor. Those who have not yet fled, perhaps because they're married to UK nationals who no longer have the right to move to the EU, start mass demonstrations. Retail logistics snarls up and empty shelves start appearing on shops. We go back to the Winter of Discontent.
> like a kind of global parasite.

You could also describe the institutions creating regulatory arbitrage opportunities as “parasites”. In fact, I think it would be more accurate, since arbitrage increases societal efficiency whereas the conditions that create arbitrage opportunities decrease societal efficiency.
I live in an apartment and my windows don't open like that -- tightly-affixed screens behind each window -- so the drowning method has indeed been my best weapon, aside from sealing cracks where they congregate.

I don't want any of them to live, either.

At their worst, before I started caulking their hidey-holes, I would have to kill 20-30 a day. They may be lazy, but they flock to any heat and/or light sources, soaring down to disrupt all of my waking-time activities. I would literally have little reprieve from them swooping down on me while working on computer, watching TV, reading a book. I sure as hell do not want any of them to live: every one must perish, none shall pass.

They are just going to starve to death inside my apartment anyway, so surely I am doing them a kindness by drowning them in a vat of soapy death.

This is a really good idea. I'd like to see some kind of REST api saying "Can I enter this X,Y,Z bounding box?", and then when getting back a HTTP 200 OK, a followup request can then be sent saying "I'm now out of this other XYZ bounding box".

As the skies get crowded, craft could even "rent" their airspace by the cubic meter. If you're a craft which can guarantee to be in a smaller space and fly close to other craft, like formation flying, you use up less airspace and save money.

Something like this for big planes would save massive amounts of fuel, because algorithms could be used to match flight patterns with weather maps to get a tailwind or uplift, rather than having a pilot having to manually ask ATC over the radio and then being forced to fly in a straight line at a fixed altitude as most planes do today.

I don't negotiate. I know my market rate. I say I want X and they either pay me X or I don't accept the offer.

Just like with other fat soluble vitamins, there is evidence that there is optimal level and U-shaped correlation with risks.

There is a U-shaped association between vitamin D concentrations and total mortality[1], inflammatory markers[2], etc. but more studies are needed[3] to be sure.

He means the former. You cannot induce a personality disorder, its a lifetime of trained patterned thinking/action/deficit.
I suspect that computing Fibonacci numbers with Binet formula is slower than with matrix form - if mul(n) is the number of multiplications required to compute x^n, then matrix form will use 8 * mul(n) integer multiplications, while Binet's formula requires 2 * mul(n) floating point operations. I suspect the latter is slower.
I find reading the docs is the best way to truly understand a language. Reading other tutorials, books or starter manuals kind of gives you a tour of the most popular parts of the language and you have to piece them together yourself (although a good book may explain it in a more friendly way).

Perhaps it comes with experience. My first few languages were learned ad-hoc like most people learn. Only after experience with a few languages did I start reading the manuals and getting an even better understanding of them. You learn a lot even when you previously thought you were already fluent with a particular language.

I find it really helps to write a parser for the language (Assuming the language can be parsed with a LL/LALR Grammar or PEG). It doesn't need to be a robust parser which handles all errors, but just a trivial one which can help you to understand all of the edge-cases in the syntax. A parser you wrote yourself makes a good reference. Depending on the complexity of the language this can take a few hours to a few days to write.

Once you have mastered the syntax, begin to tackle the standard/common libraries bit by bit. Try to write small but useful applications to utilize particular parts of libraries. Name them well so they're easy to refer to again later, so when you come to need a particular library feature you can look up how you done it last time. (Although you'll usually look at these and be like "What the hell was I thinking back then?")

So if I were to be learning Swift, I'd grab the ePub from here: https://swift.org/documentation/#the-swift-programming-langu... and skip directly to page 917 which lists the language's context-free grammar. This is essentially a 42 page cheatsheet for the entire language syntax (could probably be condensed to about 15 pages if split into two columns and whitespace removed). This epub is a great example of well-written documentation. It's broken into groups of production rules with good cohesion, and every terminal and non-terminal symbol in the grammar is hyperlinked to the part of the document which describes it in more detail.

I'd read through the grammar and perhaps even rewrite it side-by-side as I'm going through it. (There are some good tools for writing and testing grammars interactively, which I would definitely make use of). I'd guess since the language borrows from C#, Java, Haskell et al, which I'm already familiar with, that I'll be able to understand the majority of it without looking up details - but when i do encounter something I'm not sure of it's just a click away.
> Ed25519 looks nice and there is experimental support for it in gnupg but it's not post quantum unfortunately.

That's not a problem of NIST recommendations. There aren't any post-quantum secure elliptic curve public-key systems. The fundamental computational problem used by ECC public-key cryptography isn't post-quantum secure, so it's not really a matter of curve choice.
That sounds like poorly run scrum more than anything else. I can't count the number of times I've thrown an "investigation" task on the backlog that may or may not have panned out.

Scrum is more about keeping your fellow engineers informed on what they are working on so incompatible things rise quickly. It shouldn't be used as a tool for micro management but instead reviewed at the end of each sprint.
I do a tutorial of the language I want to learn, but often I find it is not enough. So, I just browse open-source projects (usually GitHub), check their programming style, learn new tricks (some are not usually mentioned in tutorials) and only then I contribute to the project. Most of the times I get code review for free. This practice has also other positive effects.
There's a GCC extension that also allows to mark C/C++ functions as `noreturn` (in C, it's a compiler-specific attribute, not a part of the language, unlike Rust):
