There is also the confounding factor of gut microbiome (people who had more fiber continuously IIRC having a more diverse/probably better for health, microbiome) influencing results of diet or vice versa.
I can only find that claim on a Powerbulbs store blog post.

Current UN regs do indeed require white. Definitely not "much worse", more like simply different. They were very yellow, right out there with sodium lighting and obliterated colour acuity. So highly unlikely to be coming back. :)

What do you mean by that? If you’re talking about sodium chloride, then that’s sodium chloride, not salt. Can’t you just say reducing sodium chloride?
Kudos for keeping your sights on helping your team! I'm a big fan of holding on to a group of people that understands your business (I'd rather retrain a technology than instill passion and domain experience).

I think a lot of people could "will" to fix some of these problems in an ideal world, but other factors beyond their control prevent them.

I "beat" obesity in the last year. My BMI was low 30s and it's now low 20s. Knock on wood, after some time I don't seem to be regaining it like a lot of people do (as suggested by my sibling post). Without getting into too many
personal details, the biggest
thing to cause that was a radical re-shift of my work habits. A vast majority of people do not have the luxury of chosing when and how they work. I do not fault them for not replicating what I did. I struggled with it myself for a long time, before my recent success, until I was able to make these latest changes.

In general I think things which lead to judging other people for their circumstances is a bad idea. There are probably people who could will it away. Is it their fault that they don't? Honestly, probably not usually.
Plus those don't seem to have that much money to spare/waste. They got married early to get the money to spend on the wedding? Have a party someplace that is almost free, cater it yourself.

It means most software projects are actually written by small teams of under 10. When you don’t count all the project staff, testing, operations, user support, etc.

I don't really eat any prepackaged foods besides macadamia/coconut milk. Mainly broccoli, spinach, celery, eggs, chicken, turkey, tuna and a ton of coconut/olive oil. A tablespoon of salt is 7080 mg of sodium. There haven't been any studies looking at ideal sodium intake for people on keto as far as I know, though it is generally accepted that there is a higher need since the liver gets efficient at excreting sodium.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend others take as much sodium as I do, only that personally I seem to feel better around that level. I have heard from some people that take as much as 11g a day on keto. I would definitely not exceed 5g much if I was on doing a standard diet though.
That makes sense. I’ve only ever heard it used in that context, but the more general interpretation is a much more logical use of the metaphor.
Agree with most of what you say, but the underlying reasoning around successfully using willpower to fight addiction is that it leaves one in a much stronger state to deal with other "demons" they might encounter.

Muscle relaxants may fix a addiction to alcohol at a higher rate, but likely do nothing to change an addictive personality.
Why do we even have chaplains? Does every country have them? People have different religions or many of them no religious views, and there is often tension between these different groups.
...and yet sodium fluoride is a component of common toothpaste. Manufacturers of sodium chloride (table salt) don't work with chlorine, either.

Guanxi is a broad term and can mean anything from networking (the business kind) to asking about job referrals from friends, you can google the investopedia definition to get a better idea. It can be seen negatively or positively based on the context as in like "he got his job through guanxi" aka he either networked hard (positive) or there was some kind of nespotism involved (negative).

Okay. Let’s get that bug re-opened!
Using SI doesn't mean you shouldn't maintain consistency between units you're actively comparing to avoid inadvertent conversion error. If your working units are mg, using mg across the board is completely sensible. It lowers the mental load involved and reduces the chance of the human factor introducing errors.

It has nothing to do with being uncomfortable with working with SI units and everything to do with having a consistent working environment for me.

For example, If I were drawing something up in CAD and needed a particular face to be 120mm, I'm completely aware that could be represented as 12cm, but I want the software to label that as 120mm so that it's consistent with e.g., a 23mm face next to it.

Your working units for sodium in food consumption are milligrams. Labeling the final sum the same way is a good thing.

The fact that the LHC hasn't seen anything new is the entire point here because it yields evidence against SUSY. That puts almost all of mainstream HEP theory in bad position because it has been built around SUSY being real and an accepted hypothesis.

As usual, theoretical physics is taking the wrong message from this, sticking to their guns and claiming SUSY evidence is yet above 10 TeV instead of stepping back and re-evaluating their fundamental assumptions. Of course they won't because many have built their careers on this hypothesis.

I forsee a reckoning for the whole field (which will take on economic dimensions) in the future.
DHL's estimated times are laughable wrong in my experience. So much for supposed German efficiency.

To any companies wondering why their employees jump ship at the drop of a hat, or why there's just no loyalty anymore, this attitude is it.
The contrarian is the one responsible for successfully communicating any legitimate insight they have to the mainstream, however difficult that may be.

One potential strategy might be to slowly ease your way towards your controversial conclusions, building up your argument carefully along the way, in a way that will make sense to your audience.

And yet you still may get downvotes. Such is life.

Lastly, it's very valuable to always be open to the idea that you are the one who is actually mistaken in some critical way.
It might yet get worse with age.
What is so bad about C standard library?
Many HN readers might think this is joke question, but is serious question. "C Standard Library sucks" is almost a gnrd (geeky nerd) meme. But I don't get this joke!

I am student/hobbyist, and I like to study programming languages. C is amazing. Also are some other languages.

Many times, when I study about !C languages, I see them say things about how XYZlang has much better standard lib than C, and they assume everybody knows how bad is C standard lib, but they never provide any specific references. (Please don't reply rtfd, tyvm)

Maybe some HN people can post some comments about or links to some references, comparisons, or articles about what sucks in C standard lib.

Also please if you know about such please say some alternatives to C standard lib, not in other language, but for use in C.

Thank you HN people!

MM is a great historical example that the field should remember. However, culturally for the current and previous generations, physicists aren't keen on their history and even if they are they definitely can't place themselves in it.

International works were not protected by copyright in the US, but it didn't really matter because of how long it took for copiers to get their copies on the market.

The vast majority of books made most of their sales shortly after publication. By the time the copier could get a copy of the published book, typeset their edition, and go into production almost everyone who wanted the book had bought a copy from the original publisher.

Stephen Breyer, back when he was a law professor at Harvard rather than a Supreme Court Justice, wrote an article in the Harvard Law Review called "The Uneasy Case for Copyright" exploring the idea that because of the limitations of copying technology much of earlier copyright law really didn't do much.

It's an interesting argument, but technological advances in copying have made it largely inapplicable for the present day.
Give WPS Office a go on Linux... it's been the most similar to MS Office I've found (in terms of both file format and UI).
KDE has always had paid developers behind it, but only a handful.

Different companies used to employ people to work on KDE including TrollTech, Nokia, Novell, Blue Systems, Canonical, Red Hat.

I think these days it's only Blue Systems that does so. Maybe also Novell but I could be wrong.

The overwhelming majority of the work is done by community and volunteers.

Gnome always had more corporate backing, primarily Red Hat.
At anything more than a superficial glance,they are extremely complicated. You don't get the raw power, power-to weight ratio, fuel efficiency and reliability - and yes, they are extremely reliable in general, despite these recent troubles - by just connecting a bunch of fans. In fact, you would not get anything at all from trying it, except maybe set your garage on fire, if your 'just a bunch of connected fans' comment is an indicator of the depth of your understanding.
Is there any URL Shortner which can be hosted at GitHub/Gitlab Pages?
Do you have a link for the majorana bit?
It might look wrong in isolation, however the choice of unit do add context to a conversation. For example, there are instances where one would say "twenty hundred" instead of "two thousand". Sodium too is typically denoted in milligrams because most other micronutrients are measured in the same unit.
Show HN: Prime number as a service
I haven't looked into it, but are there really no other cations besides sodium that can create the salty flavor sensation on human taste buds? I would find that surprising, given all of the work and industry around sugar substitutes.

Also, what is your personal experience - if any - with heavy potassium supplementation?
I'm sure it burns just like regular lithium-ion batters.[0] The addition of FeF3 probably doesn't change the correct response to the hazards much -- put out the fire if you know how to safely do so with the proper personal protective equipment, otherwise get the heck away.[1]

This generates two random prime numbers of size 1024 and 2 respectively. Originally needed to perform diffie-hellman key exchange to generate private keys for https://justa.ml. Eventually I worked on other projects that required this - so I thought to make this a service for other apps to consume. Originally used a script to generate some large primes and saved them in a file. So this service does not generate them on the fly.

Thousands? I really find that hard to believe.
I do remember the hand held camera's weren't sealed. So film and components needed to be redesigned to work. For instance special anti static film. And mechanical parts made of glass to prevent cold welding.

But with Apollo they could take the film back and develop it normally. The orbiters developed film in space and then scanned it. I tried looking and found nothing, but the orbiter camera's developed film using a semi-dry processed using damp ribbons that seem similar to a old typewriter ribbon.
None of that shows the rate at which Asian Americans take the SAT, the birth rates of 2.5 million Asian Americans who were here in 1980, or the ages of the Asians who've immigrated since. So saying that we have an extra 17.5 million Asian Americans, and Asian Americans outperform whites on the SAT, therefore 2nd generation Asian Americans outperform whites isn't supported by the evidence presented so far.

However none of that really matters because you ignored my last point.

Other factors such as family income are larger factors that native language.

>Is it somehow easier for Asian immigrants to learn the prestige dialect than Hispanic immigrants?

If it's easier is irrelevant because Asian Americans are more likely to speak the prestige dialect than Hispanics. But to answer your question, yes it is eaiser because Asians have much higher incomes, and they integrate with white communities faster--at least in part because Asian communities are smaller and more spread out.
I just think saying that it doesn't have "server-side support" is misleading. It makes it sound as though you'd need third-party code to run on the server at all.

I do agree they have pivoted to a more client-sided branding though.

They're simple conceptually but are highly intricate, complex implementations in reality.

Also, these are not jet engines: they're turbofans and are more than "a series of connected fans".
They also had fine metal workers who had a much smaller jewelry market with Protestantism.
Not much is known about the reality of open source because people do not want to know. This is the biggest story of the last decade: a few major technology corporations have banded together to give away billions of dollars of software completely for free. It is, I suspect, the greatest act of charity our planet has ever known. It's not difficult to see how virtually all of the major trends from the rise of China to the ever expanding proliferation of smartphones and IoT are being driven by this.

The disconnect between the narrative around technology companies and and the reality is due to a severe cultural blindspot. It would simply never occur to most people that private companies would compete to give way most of their products. Even people who should know better don't want to admit that much of the software they consume (for absolutely zero dollars!) is provided by the same companies they love to whine about. We seem to be missing a whole new phase of capitalism happening right under our noses and there's really not enough research into it.
I rewrote the main trig functions in Javascript to help with cross browser determinism. They run as quickly as the native math routines while compromising accuracy to around 10 significant digits.

Since it sounds like you're going to save a bunch of money, I suggest letting them go and using that money to provide very generous severance packages (months of salary at least). Then they can choose to retrain themselves, take some time off, whatever. It works for Netflix.

Rushing out prototypes without working out the kinks sounds like the behaviour of every javascript project ever.
Well, I can't say for sure if if would benefit you, but the one thing I found useful about it is that it makes it easy to do code reviews without checking out the whole project.

At work we use GitHub, so to do a code review I have to check out the working branch or PR that I am reviewing, and review it in my local IDE/editor software. I have to do that because the web UI that shows the PR diff generally isn't sufficient to really review the code. I want to quickly jump to related files to follow the code path, keep the subset of files I'm referring to open in new tabs, get a project-level view of how the pieces fit together, and maybe step through some of the code in the debugger.

Now, the first two are possible just using a web UI but it's very unlike a normal code editing experience. Using the GitLab IDE interface makes it easier to do the first three of those things. It still cannot actually run/debug a program, but I presume that their goal is to someday enable that kind of thing, at least for some kinds of projects.

Today, all major git repo hosting services have rudimentary web-based single-file text editors — seems to me that adding IDE-like multi-file project-level editors is a pretty straightforward and logical extension of that.

So yeah, as a GitLab user, I want this. As a GitHub user, I want them to copy this idea and implement something similar. And if I were a BitBucket user...

It's a strangely distinct memory that when I needed to implement a hash table in 1992, I read Knuth--in 1992 I guess there wasn't much else to do--and apparently read it correctly. The beauty of the golden ratio technique made it memorable and I've been doing "multiply by 2^n/phi" ever since! In fact just last week I launched Ruby to calculate it again...

All right, I looked into this using repl.it. The __closure__ field is not actually a closure in the usual sense of the word -- it's the environment of the closure, and fs[0] and fs[1] are expected to share the same environment. If you look at the identities of fs[0] and fs[1] themselves, they are different. It's as I said originally, just with a confusing name for the environment field.
it's probably a number of carefully lit shots with a phase one camera/back. if you are very careful with positioning you could stitch a bunch of shots with a cheaper camera. definitely read up on lighting art for photography, that's going to be critical. macro lens is probably not necessary. there are a variety of javascript-y things for dynamically viewing large images, shouldn't be /too/ hard to find or set up.

Is this number cryptographically secure? How do you get enough entropy in your server?

It's strange that the link points to the json file. I was expecting a webpage where I can see the numbers, some explanation and a link to the actual service.
Not even rich people do this, but I wouldn't want to be party to either side of such an arrangement. Between the cameras and tracking of phones, if someone's out to get you they can get you on fraud.
That we no longer pay rents to the owners of the kernel is a huge victory for everyone. That you mistake market failures for successes is a rather sad reflection on the state of the soul of most technologists.

The commodification of services that used to be cutting edge happens all the time, and if not for artificial patents would happen even faster.
