Wow... Someone dismisses veganism as "unproven dogma" then promotes in it's place, of all things, the "Paleo diet" without a shread of irony.

"Paleo diet," as a concept, is uh... not based in reality. I honestly don't mean to be mean when I say that, there just isn't any other way to put it.

First, to recreate a "Paleolithic diet" we'd have to know exactly what Paleolithic humans ate, in which proportions, and we really don't. The evidence we have is incomplete. It's extremely doubtful humans in different groups in different geographic locations all ate the same thing - it's more likely humans adapted to their environment as that is exactly what humans tend to do.

It's not possible to eat a Paleo diet today, as the plants and animals that existed in paleolithic times no longer exist today. Natural and artificial selection has changed our food supply so drastically that the foods available today are almost completely unrecognizable compared to their Paleolithic ancestors.

(Ignoring for a second that humans have evolved since Paleolithic times as well. Also ignoring for a second the diseases of aging might not have appeared much in Paleolithic humans, to our knowledge, because there wasn't a whole lot of aging going on during that time...)

If you feel better following a fad diet, that's perfectly fine, just don't pretend it's any less "unproven dogma" than any other diet. The "Paleo diet" is based on a bad understanding of science, history, and anthropology.

As a user, I was very disappointed to see that the gateways must be enabled by the project owner, not by the users themselves. In the end none of the Slack groups I've participated in allowed me to connect via IRC/XMPP.
> A true paleo diet is mostly plant based anyway. Paleo man just didn't have access to three giant portions of meat a day. Only modern industrial agriculture has made that possible.

Not true ~ there is no "true" paleo diet ~ it varies vastly from culture to culture. Look at the Eskimos ~ their traditional diet was mostly animal, high in nutrients, protein, fat, and sugar in the form of glycogen, and very little in the way of plants. Then in other tribal cultures, they may subsist mostly on plant foods.

There's no One, True Diet. Veganism is actually rather unhealthy, because it excludes foods which contain highly bioavailable forms of nutrients not found in plant foods ~ Omega 3s, iron, etc.

An animal-based diet isn't unhealthy ~ it can be the most nutritious of all. Organ meats are extremely nutritious.

An animal-based diet isn't the problem ~ modern human societies run by greedy corporations and governments are, because they have created and supported the problems of animal abuse, because it is profitable.

> The modern "paleo" diet loaded with animal fat and protein is a modern invention that serves mostly to help people rationalize their taste preferences.

Bullshit. Paleo isn't all about fat and protein. That's keto. Paleo can be full of healthy carbs.

> One of the main differentiators between paid and unpaid slack is message retention. To my knowledge, I don't think the XMPP and IRC were used by anyone to overcome this limit but I'm pretty sure it's been done using their API.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that you don't know about any message retention facilities for IRC. irclogger and logbot do that.

Some other surprising things about school:

- parents care more about extracurricular and athletic pursuits than academic. They'll help their kids play a sport, but rather than try to help their children learn, they'll complain that the teachers are not doing their jobs

- children react to changes in environment the same way adults do, but this isn't considered by schools because they know the students have no choice but to comply

- many children still go hungry at school, making learning difficult to impossible

- one in ten children are diagnosed with ADHD; somewhere between 1 in 20 and 1 in 10 may be on stimulants, antipsychotics, antidepressants, etc

- private schools may pay half the salaries of public school teachers, and their curriculums are not as strict (virtuslly no required curriculum)

- children are still told today (by teachers) that they will be destitute and homeless if they do not go to college, but they do not provide any extra assistance either, making them either extra stressed or give up

- teachers pay, pensions, etc and overall school budgets are still cut short by politicians whenever they need to trim their budgets, while other areas of budgets are increased

- children in 8th grade often have a 3rd grade reading level in many parts of the country, but especially major cities with a history of segregation and a lack of access to jobs

- some kids are still booted from one school to the next and used as scape goats if anything negative is on their transcript
I will always cheer on someone building something cool, but here's the problem I have: Everyone wants to build an open source alternative, no one wants to make money. What is wrong with making money? Money is great -- it lets you buy clothes, food, shelter, water, and even a night out on the town or two. We need to be able to make money on software again, not just have user data be the product. This is partly to blame on the FOSS zealots. Sure they say it's "just fine" to make money on your software, but they never seemed to offer a method that is based in reality.

As a rare earth ore, most coal has very little value. From a practical standpoint, this is interesting but not particularly actionable, unless it is a process that is cheap and preserves the other industrial utility of coal.
Of course there are companies using cracked versions of software.

We also know kids use all sorts of cracked software as well. The reason they don't get sued is because the companies know that it is bad blood to sue. They know that, in the future, these kids will be running offices and they will buy that software they loved.

Granted, the goodwill ends up with money coming in, but it's the same theory with open source. Most large projects are backed by companies that earn millions. The idea of a single dude doing free work is often times a myth.
> It's not possible to eat a Paleo diet today, as the plants and animals that existed in paleolithic times no longer exist today. Natural and artificial selection has changed our food supply so drastically that the foods available today are almost completely unrecognizable compared to their Paleolithic ancestors.

A modern day Paleo diet is merely about eating as closely to natural foods as possible, eating those foods optimal for our individual health, and cutting out all processed junk foods.

Simple. It is certainly based in reality, much more so than the dogma of Veganism.
Any suggestions as opposed to that book? I would appreciate it. :)
Private Car Sharing and Digital Vehicle Key: The New A-Class
I sometimes wonder if the tooling should be different for infrequent tasks. I might update the build scripts for my desktop software just once or twice a year, given the infrequent use it would make sense to use a GUI for this rather than a text editor.
I use Limechat on OSX and Hexchat on Windows and am mildly dissatisfied with both.
Well, you're not stuck, you could do a data science degree online:

https://www.coursera.org/degrees/masters-in-computer-data-sc...

You might even find your employer would be willing to consider paying towards it or has some scheme to help, depending on it's size.

Admittedly much easier said then done though.
Honestly, it was so smooth. Deleting old unnecessary channels seems impossible, but whatever. Have all of our chat history migrated over, no complaints. One team member missed the old Slack colour scheme, but he found a Slack skin for Mattermost that makes it look the same for him.
I’ve been walking alongside two people with depression. Being there for them on a regular basis, praying, and sharing the promises of the Bible and love of God have all helped them from going over the edge. I know because they told me so. I send them videos occasionally speaking some uplifting truth so they can see my face and hear my voice. But it’s mostly chat.

Being there is pretty easy as I am working on my computer anyway. So it’s not a huge sacrifice. But it would be worth the sacrifice anyways.

When you’re depressed you don’t want to interact with people. That’s the nature of the beast. Be there anyway, not pushy, but available, even if on the meekest of chat platforms.

I send my friends checkins twice a day and I recognize that just because they feel well today does not mean they are out of the valley. Depression comes and goes.

Edited to add: Being there helps a ton. It dispels the lie believed in depression that they are all alone. If you are a believer, share Bible promises. Or even if you are not a believer ;-)

Listening without judgment and sometimes (most times) not even offering any solutions but just being a shoulder, an objective truth speaker, making yourself available, are all strong weapons against chronic sadness. They might say, “I’m sorry to vent.” I reply, “NO SORRIES. This is a judgment-free zone. Be yourself. I am here for you.”
Fair enough.

I always draw the distinction between fission and fusion when talking to people who do, or don't, know the difference - as the former benefits from the clarity, and the latter from the (new) understanding.

It's like using solar now to describe only photo-voltaic cells - solar thermal is likely to be a much more interesting technology for grid-supply, but few people that aren't interested in the area know about it (at least here in Australia, where we haven't dabbled much, and have an administration that's very pro-coal).

As to your question - you answered it yourself, I see. You wouldn't want more energy if it's going to ultimately cost you your civilisation -- that's the easy answer.

But also if you have any concept of restraint, moderation, efficiency improvements, etc. (Though mostly if it's going to cost you your civilisation.)
Everytime someone mentions bait and switch it is always about someone who is not paying for the service/product.
You found a way to not pay for the service, they decided to close it, you are angry that either you have to pay or find alternative.
> Animal proteins are inflammatory, as they contain sulfur based amino acids. So meat is going to inflame.

These claims don't even seem remotely scientific, lol.
"Basically, a diet entirely devoid of processed foods?"

Processing isn't all bad. In fact, the most basic processing brought great gains to humanity: Cooking. It made meat less dangerous to eat and frees up nutrients in some vegetables. Sometimes, processing is what allows us to eat a food (acorns, for example) or lets us get through the winter (drying, fermenting, and whatnot).

Similarly, freezing foods isn't such a bad thing. Be it freezing fruits and vegetables or freezing leftover home made soup. You don't need lots of preservatives nor special ingredients to do this either at home nor with commercially prepared foods.

Milk products are keen to be processed as well. Cheeses, yogurts, and so on aren't bad things to eat. Pasteurization keeps milk available longer.

Processed doesn't mean bad, its just a few of the things we've come up with aren't so wonderful.
-I would guess (mind, guess, I don't know the first thing about gas drilling) that as they needed to take great care retrieving the core samples slowly to allow the hydrogen to evaporate without damaging the sample (as per @abcd_f's comment above), the rate of hydrogen release from the rocks is simply too low for it to make any sense to drill for it.

After all, if hydrogen is slow to escape from the core sample, it stands to reason it will be slow to escape from the surrounding rock, too.

(Given a bit of electricity, we can easily get lots and lots of hydrogen from water, anyway.)
What constraints do you have? How important is scalability for this project? Do you need lots of parallelism, fast single-core execution, low memory usage, etc?

You mention long-term support. I'd have to give Haskell high marks on that one. You can use Stack to get highly repeatable builds with LTS releases of Haskell and the packages you rely on. More so than any other language I'm familiar with, Haskell does a great job with long term support and builds that should be 100% reproducible in 5 years.

As far as bugginess, Haskell obviously wins here again. If you're getting runtime exceptions in Haskell then you're doing something wrong. If rock-solid stability is important to you (and you list it as #2 on your list, so I assume it is), then Haskell is hard to beat.

Availability of developers is a tough one. Python clearly has the advantage here, despite being markedly worse on the first two sections. I don't know many Haskell developers, but the Haskellers I've met have all been exceptional software developers in general.

I find it unlikely that you're going to be able to hire 20 people who already know Haskell, unless you're willing to hire remotely. However, if you're willing to teach, I think it could work out. For example, the Elm language would be a fantastic gateway to Haskell. Build your front end with Elm and make new developers work on the front end for a few weeks. Once they're comfortable with it, switch them to the back end.
They are claiming that the risk has been exaggerated, but they are using low quality evidence to support that claim. Higher quality evidence differs.
Yes. Czech entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa (there is pretty good chance you're wearing shoes with his name right now) founded a whole city (not a town, a pretty big city for its time).
Thanks for the note, it's good to know it's not a fluke to have these methods work out.

It's almost comical how rarely I've heard the kind of advice for light exercise. It's almost always "you have to get your heart rate up to 120 bpm for 30 min or you are wasting your time!" bah. "you need to do 200 reps or you're wasting your time!" double bah.

I run a totally lame mile run a few times a week, and I like my exercising, I make it easy and mostly enjoyable, and it's turned my life around.

I agree with the sore muscle thing, I had my acheles tendon hurt really bad when running. So I had to stop for a month. But when I started to run again, it still hurt, I was worried.

Here's the really dumb part. My TV/movie based medical knowledge told me that I may have to work through some pain (ie, like in physical therapy) to get my ankle back to normal. It was healed, just not in shape, or some such dumb thing. And it worked! (yah for the movie about the hurt army soldier who had to get his legs working again! and the stubborn nurse that wouldn't let him quit!)

Remember in old british movies/tv they would go out on a "constitutional"? (I thought that was so uptight and funny when I was younger)
I'm not sure I understood the toString() issue you described here, and I don't recall encounting crashes with any particular regularity. What I do recall is having to deal with VS2017's inability to execute or watch many LINQ/lambda expressions which made certain debug sessions completely useless.

The biggest issues I've had with web browser debuggers is the interaction(or lack thereof) between source maps and debugging. I don't know any of the modern debug features that the browsers are missing - could you mention some?
Love the idea! XMPP was well on its way to dominate until Apple released the iPhone and killed XMPP with the APNS requirement. Here's hoping we can go back to the federated model.

As someone who's been on irc since the mid 90s and have had and still do have a couple of Irssis running in screens for 10+ years, I have to say that irccloud is pretty great for ease of use. There was an open source clone called ircanywhere, but it seems abandoned.

I have no idea what the future holds, and I always welcome new tools and disruptions, and I'm using slack, discord, messenger etc for various communities. What keeps me from leaving irc is:

* friction in moving all users that have been using an IRC channel for 20 years

* stupid stuff in slack and messenger like lock in and slow search. I really like grep:ing logs for links and discussions and then reading the context up and down, which I have found difficult in web services.
I think at least part of this reason is driven by NSA/DoJ, just like Microsoft's Skype acquisition was.

Also, why is Krzanich still CEO? He's made terrible decision after terrible decision. Buying Broadcom now reminds me a lot of Ballmer wanting to buy Yahoo for $40 billion. In hindsight that looks like a terrible deal, doesn't it? I think if Intel buys Broadcom, this will look the same in 10 years.

Intel has strong conflicts of interest against other non-x86 chip divisions, which would be Broadcom, I'm sure it's the same with Altera, too. In a few years they'll regret buying FPGAs, too.

The "synergy" is a lie.

It's disabled by default. So enabling it requires effort. Then again, Slack didn't advertise those gateways.

It's designed with termination in mind.
I apologize for going off topic here by saying go for language number 4. but hear me out.

I have been struggling with my business vs pleasure languages for some time now. I work 95% in C# but whenever I find willpower to do some hobby coding I go for Haskell.

Every time I go for a new hobby project after not coding in Haskell for a while I have to go through the hurdles of remembering how to set things up, downgrading from Visual Studio to Visual Studio Code with some broken Haskell language extension and last time before I started coding my new hobby project I asked myself: What would it take for me to make C# as lovable as Haskell.

I came up with these things which annoy me most (I know everyone has their own list):
1. Lack of higher order types
2. Lack of syntactic sugar for partial function application et al.
3. Lack of GADTs
4. Still waiting for those nullable reference types.

On the other hand I would get:
1. Great language server with support for refactorings, formatting etc.
2. Test tooling and frameworks and performance analysis tooling and frameworks.
3. Way bigger ecosystem of open source libraries.

While I see a reason to go for either C# or Haskell, I really don't think it's worth going for Python or Go instead in most cases. I just need a better type system than what Go has to offer (and Python doesn't do any type checks without 3rd party support). Hell, I'd go for TypeScript or PureScript before these 2.

C# has grown a lot in the past few years. With C# 7 you have all those fancy things like local functions, pattern matching, deconstruction, async improvements etc.
You have a stable language and ecosystem, open source compiler and language server (Rosyln), free editor support if you want to save (Visual Studio Code) or if you want enterprise tooling you can go up to Visual Studio Enterprise. With .Net Core going into 2.0 the coverage of .Net is really broad, and Entity Framework and Asp.Net are being rewritten from scratch for all platforms.
It's easy to do foreign language interfacing if you want to use some highly performant lib like LAPAC or something and someone usually already wrapped around it.

Btw, if not Haskell, check out PureScript
> It's completely incorrect to suggest red meat is equivalent to smoking for cancer.

Did I? Please read again. Just saying it's on the same list.

https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/general-info/kno...

> Red meat causes very little cancer.

Could you please quantify how little cancer? Prolly not. This is difficult stuff. We do not know dosages, etc.

BTW, I was talking about "processed meat" (like hotdogs, bacon and nuggets), you now talk about red meat. Red meat is not on the cancer list (yet).

If you down voted me, please reconsider. Because I'm right.
Think part of the rationale for building Go was to have something that would serve the truly massive scale of the codebase at Google. It seems like they’re already making sure it scales that way.
It's not possible to feed 8 billion people a diet rich in animal products without all the abuses and cruelties of modern animal agriculture. Those techniques weren't invented because people enjoy abusing animals. They were developed because environmentally sustainable and more humane methods simply can't scale to meet demand.

And the "paleo" diet most people eat is really just a rebranding of what people used to call the Atkins diet.

That's a great idea, I may have to try that. I am already tired of the same exercises.

I did run into an issue though. Just like you, I'd exercise while my milk was heating up (quick coffee, switched to hot chocolate (organic, don't give me greif)) but when I cut back on that too, it affected the number of times I worked out. lol. :P

Any suggestions on how to get a routine in where there's not triggering event?
It’s way harder to leave than it was to refrain from joining.

Another major factor is that Americans mostly see themselves as citizens of the USA first, and citizens of their state a distant second.
Go for the largest community and biggest number of mature libraries, go for Python 3 (make sure it's 3!). It's the most mainstream in your list and for data scientists it's your only choice I would also say (when looking at Tensorflow, Numpy, Scipy, Pandas etc.)
- There are large numers of people who think, at least in the US, that paying taxes so that other people's kids might get ahead is a dumb idea.
Agreed -- definitely possible. The issue is more than in organizations I've seen, the group of data scientists does not agree on using type hints, because a lot of them want to "move fast," and not be bothered with what they consider irrelevant, low-level details.

This, sadly, brings us back to the problem.

I'm of the opinion nowadays that these rules need to be mandatory at a group level (i.e. either enforced by the compiler or by convention at your workplace) to be useful.
There is very little "nice" about their UI. UX isn't good (subjective, I know); it's not accessible at all; their "apps" take gigs of RAM and waste CPU, very slow search, not intuitive, etc.

I was able to search years of intensive mailing in both server and local cache in an almost instantaneous fashion in Outlook {2003, 2010 & 2016} for Windows, but Slack can't properly search a year and a half of history without choking. On almost every level, slack is a complete technological failure (where it matters).
