For desktop, I use opensuse (just clarification, to avoid holly wars here).

I have migrated my servers to FreeBSD not due to problems with kernel, but due to everything else, the distributions are really doing horrible job maintaining userspace, not to mention failures like systemd. Also trusting data to linux is an interesting ride, from btrfs failures to "merging" (pun intended) those failures to zfs (https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/7401). FreeBSD has much slower pace of development and this is good for stability. Zfs is rock solid beeing part of OS for decade, docker was ported to it in 14 days, due to jails which are there for 15 years+ and field tested for years (while I was listening from linux guys years that chroot is all you need). I wont complain about linux features, but for BSD, I know that after update everything will work exactly like it worked before and this is more important for my bussiness than all the bleading edge features.

And then you have all the other issues that Linus explains here, for debian but same problems other distributions have (and yeah, I am just a bit younger and highly proficient in c/c++ on multiple operating systems, developing system level application for more then 20 years, that is probably why I share his opinion): https://youtu.be/1Mg5_gxNXTo?t=459

Linux has succeeded as it was fast by cutting corners in development. And it worked for a while, now problems started to stockpile and turtle is starting to catch up.

Regarding the "open model", I don't understand what would that be, BSD license is more permissive than GPL? Not to mention a shame when (https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-beats-internal-legal-thr...) kernel developer for linux started suing companies not releasing the source code.

Just to wrap it up, if ReactOS will be able to keep the pace of development with the Windows changes it has a good chance that the year of ReactOS on desktop will be much sooner than the year of Linux on desktop. And this is what we want, not Linux OS on desktop but Open source OS on desktop, right?
These garbage studies confuse the impacts of crappy fried food and oils with alcohol itself. Heavy drinkers also eat more PUFA. The PUFA itself is very damaging.

The alcohol just magnifies the damage of the PUFA. The alcohol even further increases the absorption of LPS from the intestine, and makes cells more susceptible to the toxins. But absent the PUFA the liver typically has no problem cleaning up. The liver is constantly clearing away such toxins.
Another reason the XC90 has a great safety record is that it’s a 4500 pound car with a 4 cylinder engine. This isn’t safety enhancing in itself but does ensure that it is only bought by people with the most sedate driving habits.
Very nice project. I guess it was inspired by a recent show HN that load csv file and allow you to query on it?
Props to the man for not wanting to cooperate.

Is there a word for 'the Ikea effect'?

"Phi is a minimal text editor designed to look pretty, run fast, and be easy to configure and use. It's primary function is for editing code."

"The editor is written as if it's a game, so it will probably eat up your battery, as well as run possibly quite slow - especially if you dont have a dedicated GPU - and probably crash frequently."

Can't quite understand what it wants to be, a fast editor that's minimal or one that's like a game and kills my battery and run slow?
Using a GUI doesn’t mean there is no code. SAS JMP lets you work on your data visually yet you still have code that defines you tables and plots, and you can easily work with git or hg.
Which is a good thing, because it means most people are dying of old age.

You can't officially die of "old age" so if you avoid or survive everything else, eventually you are going die from cancer or heart disease. Problem is though, if you improve cancer treatment then more people will die of heart disease, and vice versa.

We really need a category for "died peacefully of advanced age", where we can try hard to increase the death rate.

Something to think about is that in many languages and dialects, the Bible is frequently one of the premier pieces of vernacular literature written in the register that it is spoken. In the case of already-literate societies, until modern nationalism, typically what they write is a classical version of what they speak, which they regard as not prestigious enough to put to pen.
Ruby also does a decent-enough job with #1, albeit with a bit of elbow grease required to massage arbitrary JSON data into Ruby class instances. Not as elegant as a static type system, sure, but still workable.

A strange argument: hardware support of laptops for MacOS is officially non-existent unless you restrict yourself to Apple. As soon as you're willing to consider 'Hackintosh' installations you should also consider Linux distributions as those are generally far easier to install and maintain.
> Personally I would argue the term "OS" is simply not that well defined

An “operating system” is a combination of what the user sees, what developers see, and what devices see, I'd say.

If one wants to refer to the GUI, CLI, API, SDK, DDK or the kernel individually, just use those terms. :)
Smaller datasets will work on laptop/desktop. For DL work with large datasets you need to build a GPU workstation. Moreover there setting up environment and dependencies on different hardware setups is not straight forward.

Cloud provides the flexibility of choosing the hardware, many open source projects allow you to manage your dependencies and setup better. From 0 to something, cloud is better than custom.
DynamoDB happily handled 20 million writes per hour, but our error rate on Lambda was spiking as soon as we went above 1 million/hour invocations, and we were not being throttled. Looking at the logs, we quickly understood what was happening. We were overwhelming the S3 bucket with PUT requests, and we were receiving this response back: "Please reduce your request rate."

We opened a ticket with AWS and quickly discovered that S3 will limit your write throughput to a bucket, especially if the keys that you are writing happen to be in alphabetic, sequential order — which was exactly what we were doing.
I always thought I had a hard time putting together faces and names even though I have a pretty great memory otherwise. So one evening at a party with mostly strangers I made an effort to really ask everyone their names make mnemonic devices and repeating them like I would for stuff I actually care about. At the end of the evening I still knew the names of ever single of the 30 something people I just met.
Which proved to me conclusively that I just don’t happen to give a shit.

Perl also has the ability to effectively build class instances from scratch by manually blessing arbitrary data structures (usually hashes, but not much stopping you from blessing an array or scalar). For some folks (like me), it's a blessing for making hard problems at least slightly easier to solve. For others, well, there's always Moose.

Basically, a lot of Perl's object-orientation weirdness derives from it all being exposed to you. It's an excellent learning experience if you ever want to know what it means to be a "class" or an instance thereof, since "methods" are just ordinary subroutines that expect your object (or class, for constructors) as the first argument, and class instances are just ordinary scalar/array/hash objects blessed with a package name. Nothing hidden or abstracted away. Simple and flexible enough to fit into the TMTOWTDI philosophy.
With regard to stuff such as decentralisation of electricity I find it an interesting topic to try and formalise a method of determining how to support all the necessary infrastructure.

For example, a flat tax on transactions would likely not work well. Alternatively could you base the tax on the regions or even the specific routes taken to transmit the power.

With that, if you were basing fees on the routing, obviously rural and long distance routing would be penalised. How does one compensate for that and guarantee that low value infrastructure(rural) is properly maintained? Additionally, how would such a system address determining new infrastructure additions?
Exactly why RealPeople.io (https://realpeople.io) was created. The business model of using targeted advertising needs to go away. With ads, platforms have the incentive to sell user data and keep users online as much as possible to maximize ad impressions. AI creates and uses phycological profiles of users and not only shows them targets ads but decides who sees what.

We need to support social media that use paid subscriptions with no ads. And we need to support platforms that make it core to their offering that they are not going to share user data, and which have a business model that will align with that.

There is a lot of discussion around this nowadays which is good, but it's time for people to actually take action and be leader and make the change themselves.

Nice! It bothers me a bit that in the first scroll plot, it says "input current (mV): -5" - not only because current is measured in A, but also because I don't know how the input is applied and how the membrane potential is measured.
They don’t need to know that, though.

For instance, the irs could send you a statement with everything they know and a total at the bottom.

You can either pay that, or if you think you should pay less, prove it by filling out a bunch of 1040/1099/etc forms with supporting evidence.

Frankly, I’d love it. If it’s close enough, I think many people would pay a bit more just to eliminate the hassle.

Main upsides of Ketamine for depression vs typical antidepressants (SSRIs, etc)

- Ketamine seems to have a much larger effect size (-~0.99 [1] vs -~0.35 for typical antidepressants [2]) [If anyone spots an error, please let me know]

For context, an SMD of 0.2 is small, >0.5 is medium, and >0.8 is large.[3]

To me this seems to be by far the most important/interesting thing: Ketamine seems to have a much stronger antidepressant effect than our current antidepressants.

- Benefits occur within hours rather than weeks

- Doesn't seem to interfere with sexual function, unlike many antidepressants

Main downsides of Ketamine for depression

- Much more expensive and normally not covered by insurance

- It's less well studied

- You have to go in for additional ketamine infusions to maintain the effects, it seems roughly ~1x a month long term

(The SMD for typical antidepressants seems to range from ~-0.13 to ~-0.35, with Tricyclic antidepressants slightly higher at around -~0.42.[4][5][6])

I'd be surprised if it doesn't. I know someone who lived in West Virginia for a while. Before she got a car, she had to call a taxi to get to and from the grocery store.

iPhone X introduced very similar gestures as seen on Sailfish OS (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208204). They might be a bit alien at first, but once you get used to them, they are in my opinion far more powerful (one-handed use), faster and more intuitive than buttons. I have used Sailfish OS based phones since 2013 as my daily driver and Android/iOS UX feels very clumsy to me.
>Alcohol in the absence of polyunsaturated fats is fairly benign.

This isn't true. Sorry to inform you but Ethanol is a IARC Group 1 Carcinogen. There is no safe amount of consumption of ethanol. When Ethanol enters the body, it is metabolized into Acetaldehyde, which enters the bloodstream, and later another enzyme metabolizes Acetaldehyde into harmless Aceitc Acid.

Acetaldehyde also a Group 1 Carcinogen. Acetaldehyde is a tiny molecule and when in the bloodstream, Acetaldehyde can pass through any cell membrane unregulated, and when it enters the cell nucleus it causes irreparable DNA damage https://www.sciencealert.com/alcohol-damages-dna-stem-cells-... .

When cells accumulate too much damage to their DNA, they either die or (very rarely) start replicating uncontrollably, leading to a situation known as cancer.

I reccomend you read how Ethanol is processed by the body here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_metabolism . You can see that the process by which the human body metabolizes Ethanol always produces carcinogens, no matter the presence of fried foods, margarine, vegetable oils.
Probably not. I’m perfectly fine with audiobooks, for example.

So what you're saying is Chinese speakers generally use two languages/registers: one for spoken language and another for written. Which is another way of saying the writing system is not actually a good match for the spoken language in the first place and mostly exists for ceremonial reasons.

I would suggest someone figure out a sane way to capture spoken Chinese in a modern (i.e. easy to digitise) writing system but I doubt it would gain any traction because of the cultural implications of the script. Most Westerners see their writing system as a simple fact of life, the Chinese seem to see it as a sacred traditional craft in the same vein as forging steel.

The conventional approach would be to have a process dedicated to database communication. Other processes would then talk to that process via some IPC mechanism.

This is reflected in the Erlang way of doing things (since there's no such thing as "shared memory", at least not directly); a process needing data from the DB sends a message to the DB connector process, which runs the query via one of a set of pooled connections and sends the result back as another message to the requesting process.

I agree that to build fundamental intuition dice and marbles are great. They only take you so far, though, and it would be terribly wasteful not to utilize mathematical machinery that already exists.

I’m questioning your assumption that providing a choice would move the needle much in solving the real issue. The choice you’re asking for in this case seems to only offer additional privacy for those in the top X% of wage levels while pretending it is a solution to the wider problem.

If I had a billion dollars to spend building a paid version of fb versus spending that money educating everyone about the privacy controls they already have, I feel the latter would make much more of an impact than the former.
> There is no safe amount of ethanol. When Ethanol enters the body, it is metabolized into Acetaldehyde

Just wait until you look up how beans are metabolized.

All food except pure glucose has "problematic" metabolic pathways. Alcohol is not particularly interesting in this regard. It just magnifies the negative impacts of certain other choices. A healthy liver can deal with quite a lot of alcohol and acetaldehyde with not much issue.

Sorry, you don't really know what you're talking about. You can dowse rats with booze and they handle it fine absent oils. It really is that simple.
