OT, it's always surprised me with the diversity of pets people buy that these animals can generally eat the same thing for every meal, while humans can't.
For a while, every article from his site on Lobste.rs had someone complaining about that. It got old. I eventually came up with a theory about what the prankster was really up to:

I agree - I'm always in awe of their ability to boil down a complex issue into an comprehensible tidbit that makes it easy to consume and track.
Beautiful UI! I created a post in a few seconds, how does it stop someone else from editing that post?

> Linux distros are by far the best environment for a computer scientists

I feel like this is a wide enough class that you shouldn't speak for all of us. I spent years on Ubuntu and a bit in centos and then macOS and prefer the macOS UI over both gnome and awesomeWM and brew over apt and yum. For reference I use laptops and spend most of my time on the web, in git, various programming languages, and of course writing latex.
I would like veganism a lot more if so many of its representatives didn't act like it's a cult. The moralizing, in ingroup/outgroup dynamic etc.
Facebook is the medium, not the publisher though.

The people who built the radio didn't get called before an international criminal tribunal; it was the broadcasters who did.
Yes you can, up to end of 2017 when I deleted my account. You just fill in a name in the tag field and it displays the tag as text, instead of a link to a profile.
I can find no evidence that Apple manufactures chips of any kind.
For server side software the deployment environment is overwhelmingly Linux making Linux also the most straightforward choice for the development environment. Its not a slight on MacOS, its tooling might be just as wonderful as the Linux one for deploying on MacOS.

Why would cutting grains somehow not trigger hunger until the calories have been replaced?

So? Evolution doesn't optimize for the lifespan we're targeting currently.
Sometimes the medium is just as important as the content and for this I've come to love the Texture app.

It isn't absolutely perfect but when it comes to consuming magazines like The Atlantic, Harper's Bazaar, Dwell, Mother Jones etc it is pretty great.
At least around here, they were one of the only places to go with free public WiFi for a while. It could be something related to that, just a place to find open internet hotspots.
Finally. I was a hardcore apple fan. I believed in well thought design and optimized software. But after Jobs this company is pissing me off constantly. Stupid iWatch is device without real use case (but it was a reason iPhone to look like every other smartphone), ditching the skeuomorphic interface for flat stupidity (instead of simplifying and cleaning it), mac mini fiasco (great idea, left in the dust), mac book air (best laptop form factor, still with low quality TN display), killing of Final Cut Studio (the most comprehensive audio/video suite ever) and dumbing down the software (my friends still use Old versions of Final Cut), no Mac Pro (iMac pro is not a professional system), ditching the core user base (the reason of existence in the first place). Finally this year after staring down in disbelief at iPhone X (o god face id is the new norm) for the first time i started looking in other alternatives in smartphone market. The only device that i still cannot replace is my iPad Air 2 (media consumption and good battery life) but is questionable. This is the last drop.For me Apple is gone.
It was a good ride Steve. Now its time to ditch the bandwagon, and say hello to my old Penguin friend. To all developers in the world: Start making top notch software for linux. Make it expensive and reliable. Start with Photoshop. Than Illustrator. Than Video editing and DAW systems. The hipsters like me who from years are paying for apple GUI design (now non existent in good quality and fading away every day) are ready to pay. Go find yourself The old Apple (Snow Leopard) HIG and start your engines. Big Money is coming in your face, because professional designers, videographers, composers, architects, etc. are really pissed off :)
That's because most GitHub activity is by frontend web devs.
What about the rest of the world.

Totally. I signed up for the Kickstarter of uBiome years ago who's market line evolved from "We'll figure out a 'normal' biome and help you get there" to "Turns out there is no normal, let's try grouping people" to now something around "OMG this stuff changes constantly! We're going to go science for a few years and get back to you latter with something".

(They're mutually exclusive; I put the 1st one 1st as undoing that one is a case of rerunning the command replacing the '1' with a '0')

If the first one succeeds, try putting the command you used into ~/.Xdefaults and see if it sticks. The 2nd approach puts info into a file anyway.

I think hate speech on Facebook is just the most visible problem. A more sinister use of Facebook is to use friend lists to identify people to target in real life. A bad actor might not even leave any record on Facebook itself that they're doing anything wrong.

To work off of your post office analogy, consider if it were possible for random third parties to inquire of the post office who some particular person has corresponded with in the last several years and consider how that could be abused in a dysfunctional society where being friends with the wrong person could have very bad consequences.

I don't know if there's a solution to that, other than for Facebook to be much more restrictive about who can see a user's list of friends. However, that would interfere with the way people ordinarily use Facebook.

> One of the first things local government did was to turn off internet (data and ISP), to control proliferation of rumors and anything that could incite further violence.

It's so good to hear that there are some responsible governments out there with respect to the dangers that Internet rumors can bring in volatile situations.
That is not really true. It depends on how much you get in stocks. Fkr example, it is not typical for these companies to give out $200k stock/yr and then the backvested schedule is really packed against you. It is very unlikely they will give you $200k sign on bonus and make it up during year 2 as well.
> It's weird to realize that pretty much no one knows what's up with nutrition. It's the opposite of data-driven.

Did you track your calories? Dropping grains almost certainly means you cut your calories and thus lost weight. Exercise doesn't burn as many calories as people think. The adage 'abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym' rings true.
What I think is generally meant by "processed food" is processed prior to your acquisition.

But you're obviously capable of doing any number of harmful processes on your own, it's just somewhat unlikely. Most people aren't incentivized to process their own foods for optimal shelf life and profitability over nutrition and health.
I used to be a data engineer at an ad tech company, Blis. A huge proportion of the GPS data we relied upon for retargeting and enrichment of the bids came from Grindr, but even so we almost never bid on traffic from them, the brands we worked with were opposed to being associated with that app. So we benefited a lot from Grindr data without giving much back.
Well technically you could just gain weight more slowly.
The article is a bit hyperbolic. Nutrition is complex and hard-to-study, the research is under various distorting pressures from several industries, and it's been gotten disastrously wrong in the past, but such is science- science is hard. Just because we've gotten it wrong before doesn't invalidate more recent results, and just because there are important uncertainties in our current knowledge doesn't mean we can't quantify and manage that uncertainty.

The real issue is, and the author's real point (whether he knows it or not), is that non-scientists don't, and currently mostly can't, know anything about nutrition. To get a decent, self-respecting nutritional fact, you need to trace it back to the studies (to make sure it's not corporate BS,) make sure these studies are relatively recent (so that they're not deformed by the various assumptions and flawed conceptual frameworks that dominated the field a couple decades ago,) and ensure that the researchers and statistics at work are reasonably trustworthy (to make sure it's not some of the bad research that is still being done[1].) This is not something that most people can do, and that's simply to access the limited and uncertain facts we currently have. To the typical highschool graduate trying to make dinner, it's worse than useless.

([1] Which is, again, not unique to nutritional science. Bad papers are published in every field.)

More than a lack of knowledge, we have a lack of trustworthy authority. If someone wants to know about chemistry or math, trustworthy sources are easy to find, and their pronouncements can be taken on faith if the student doesn't want to get bogged down in the details. If someone wants to know next week's weather, the available answers will be uncertain and untrustworthy, but everyone at least knows the right people to ask, and has some idea of how to deal with "50% chance of rain." In nutrition, no one knows where to ask, and no one knows how to deal with what information that is available (for instance, raise your hand if you know the glycemic index of your most recent meal.) The answer to this can't be the scientific method; it's a social process.

Incidentally, the present nutritional wisdom is probably best summed up by Michael Pollan's "eat food; not too much; mostly plants." From that you'll be fine. (If you want to be really fancy, know the calories-per-serving of the ~10 most common foods you eat; by then you'll be eating healthier than about 95% of Americans, most likely. Know the glycemic index and you're past 99%.)
This guarantees that your software isn't going to crash
because of an unhandled exception, and allows you to think
in different ways.

OTOH, it also means that if you mess up in one spot - for instance, passing an array of things you thought were numbers but were actually characters to `sum` - you don't get any indication there's a problem until later when the result is used.

See also most every time someone thinks, "I won't raise here, I'll just return nil".
Hey, sorry to hear you had a bad time. Candidate experience is something I personally spend a lot of time on, so it's always disappointing to hear someone wasn't pleased with their interview. As someone who's had terrible interview experiences in the past, part of why I work here is that I think we can give a better experience to candidates than they get in just about any regular interview.

Anyway, I'd love to dive into the specifics if you want to shoot me an email. I understand if you're not comfortable doing that, but a lot of what you're describing sounds inconsistent with our normal process, so I want to see what went wrong. Even if we didn't actually screw any of this up, there's still a good chance we communicated in a way where you left feeling that we did. Either way, I'd like to fix it.
Site's down, what is this anyway?
The only advice that makes sense, and for the past half century or so has been constant, albeit hiding in plain sight under whatever the fads of the day are:

Exercise regularly. Avoid extremes in diet - but eat a bit of variety. Get the minimum recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals. Keep your calories and your body fat low.

And if you have bad genetics, you're probably just screwed, and no amount of exercise or diet will fix it.
Maybe even further. Mainframes have had similar for decades. Yes, perhaps more like actual VM's, but the namespacing, cgroup stuff, network overlays, etc, are very similar.

My mainframe folks, when talking about docker, universally yawn.

This works, but only for simple environments. Given a work environment where you have a choice of: a) prepared environment with all application dependencies available and a tested-by-everyone, one-click-install/update on a bad system, or b) preferred system, but you have to do all of that from scratch yourself... Sometimes the reasonable answer is "a", even if you're allowed to do "b" (on your own time of course)
I’m using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on a MBP and I cannot get the trackpad to work properly (right-click in the corner). I have to hand-edit confit files, the settings involved are undocumented, and it doesn’t work and I don’t know why. Even regular movement just feels janky compared to macOS.

Ubuntu had an option for a couple years that let you choose, then they removed it... (bastards)

I tend to use it everywhere... running a hackintosh on my desktop now, and mbp for personal laptop, and work assigned is another mbp.

However, if they go off of x86, that may drive me back to linux to be closer to prod/deploy environment.
Tech companies are changing the world by building tools.

What people use these tools for should be discussed on the context of the people. Discrimination didn't start because of Facebook and won't stop if/after it leaves.

This is a problem of moral education, and I personally don't want Facebook to be the moral compass of the world. This is something the government and society of Myanmar need to work against and figure out in sovereignty.

Are we suddenly implying someone in a first-world rich western country should interfere with the politics of an independent southeast asian nation again? Please.
I don't remember having the choice to vote for a non-rich cocksucker who give a fuck about me.
Used Linux on the desktop through college before switching to a Mac. It’s still not great. Maybe worse now, considering that now you’ve got X and Wayland to choose from and GNOME has somehow alienated everyone and fragmented. How do you set things up so you can use Remote Desktop/VNC into a GNOME desktop using Wayland?
I think you can use a home vacuum to re-pack it, if you keep the bag intact.
An article like this is the same type of disinformation it is railing against. Sure the government backed food pyramid and now food plates are terrible (and there is a conflict of interest), and private studies are often no better.

But we don’t know anything about nutrition? What about the Krebs Cycle? I think that is good science right? Cellular health and energy production aren’t exactly controversial. How many people are arguing that inflammation in the body is good or promotes health? Does anyone suggest insulin spikes are good?

Unfortunately you can’t name the foods that cause inflammation or insulin spikes...because that’s when there is push back, but we all know what they are and we don’t need to name them, because there is consensus those things are detrimental to health, which should be the focus of nutrition.
Sure it might have existed, but that isn't what was released. That version of the iphone might just have been a proof of concept or prototype, but it didn't end up a product.

Just like this rumor might be.
Off-topic: any reason why so many Go repositories have a flat structure? Wouldn't it be nicer to organize all the *.go files?
If true, and assuming the chip will be based around ARM, then this may be the final nail in Intel's server business. The biggest gate in adopting ARM-based servers is development and testing on a local environment. If x86 is being emulated and ARM is native then developing software for ARM-based servers just got a lot easier.
I would like to know why this is being downvoted. I cannot speak for the US, but the same has been happening in Germany in the last 20 or so years, at least anecdotally.

The reported unemployment rate peaked at 13% in 2005 (which, whether coincidentally or not, is also the year when Merkel was first elected), then fell steadily [1] and is currently at 5-6%. Critics attribute a fair amount of that positive trend to tampering with the statistics. For example, unemployed people are excluded from the statistic while they are going through government-mandated job training. I've heard stories of people who had to sit through the same Excel course over and over again because the stat was lower while they did so.

[1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GermanyUnemploymentR... - Notably, it's very hard to see the Great Recession in this chart. There is only a small negative dent in the overall positive trend.
Would that just be the processed sugar causing a short term buzz though?

I avoid any sugared sodas these days, because I find if I am dehydrated and I drink a canned lemonade etc. I get a headache immediately afterward, with no lessening of my thirst. Plain water or coconut water works best for me.
I'm not a battery expert, but I have quite a bit of practical experience repairing UPSs. Battery failures are a very common problem, but battery fires are not. The most common failure mode for a lead acid battery is it just stops working. Sometimes some acid leaks out. Compared to lithium based batteries, they are very safe.

If you do buy a UPS, get one with a good warranty from a reputable supplier. In my (biased) experience, it's quite common for the internal electronics to fail. The repairs are usually pretty straight forward, but it's easier under warranty :)
