Actually, it does. In the process of trying to get the study participants to a baseline by feeding them a 4 week "control diet", they all lost weight before they even got to the low-carb diet.

The theory that calories from sugar produces more weight gain than the same number of calories from any other source (veggies, meat, etc.) still hasn't been proven. But, I think the idea that calories from sugar are less filling, and therefore promote over-eating is pretty established.

> The EBC’s pilot project would lock 17 overweight men inside metabolic wards for two months, feeding them precisely formulated meals and pricking and prodding to see what happened to their bodies on a low-carb diet.

> The data showed “no significant difference” in energy expenditure.

> Taubes in particular had issues with many of the study’s designs, which fed participants a “standard American diet” for four weeks before switching them to an extremely low-carb, or ketogenic, regimen with the same amount of calories. It was supposed to get them to a stable weight, or energy balance, to establish a baseline before going keto. But the subjects all lost weight even before they started cutting out carbs. Taubes contended that was because the standard diet didn’t have enough refined sugary beverages to depict average American consumption.

Also, in enterprise consultant built apps we often have to consider what kind of talent we're going to be able to get for that project. It's much easier to get Angular and React developers than Vue developers at the moment. That could certainly change in a year of course.
This is not a substantive comment. The "large Chinese presence" in Vancouver is obviously not evidence of an obscure point about trade policy. It is, though, a step into dark insinuation. That's not ok here.

When I originally went to university, I went for music because I thought it was fun.

However, I was terrible at my music classes because I didn't enjoy many of them. Theory, conducting, and just doing scales all day. At some point I was determined to turn things around, and I decided to build an excel spreadsheet to help figure out what I needed to make in order to bring my grades up.

This was when I discovered VBA for excel. I had never programmed before, but I thought it was such a fun challenge. So I ended up making this over-engineered gradebook for my classes... At the end of the semester my grades were awful, but I changed schools, got my GPA back up, and changed my major to CS.
Opting out among women with elite education (2013)
I’ve been at BEF the last couple of days and http://www.dapp.com is exhibiting. They are launching a service to help promote these kinds of decentralized apps.

Might be a bit too early. Don’t know if the market is even close to ready.
How did you first found it?
His evidence is the 4 driver fatalities resulting from Tesla's Autopilot, which is infinitely more than the 0 driver fatalities of any other self-driving system.

Including pedestrian, cyclist, and other-vehicle fatalities, Tesla's fatality statistics are so bad that they exceed the combined total of every other self-driving system back to their respective launch dates.
With Vue and Angular you don't have to deal with controlled components, and you don't have to figure out how to mix JavaScript expressions with JSX expressions (sometimes it gets ugly).
I think we're worse off from the standpoint of financial independence and ability to grow wealth, yes. Ability to pay for things like education and health care, yes.

I think the reason this isn't more obvious is that technology has improved so rapidly that for just a few thousand dollars... maybe 5% of the average household's income, we can buy really fantastic technology products compared to previous generations. So these gadgets are helping to partially compensate for the loss of so much real wealth.

Even top-10% software engineers making $300k total compensation are really just achieving what I'd consider "normal slightly-upper middle class financial comfort". Ability to buy a modest home near their work, afford to have children and send them to college, etc.
You know, Mao carried very well for the ~60 to ~70 million Chinese bourgeoisie.

So did Jiang when he decides to purge a cult in which was said one in 12 urban Chinese were members of.

And now some think that they will stop at upsetting few exalted hipsters.
Once again, I'm put out a plea for a modern programming language book written similar to this one, but for a statically-typed functional language. Like a basic ML or mini-Haskell. Yes, I know there are some examples in PlZoo and similar, but I'd love to follow a step-by-step book instead of a lump of code, or a dense research paper.

I'd pay good money for such a book, if it was well-written.

Stephen Diehl was on the way to writing such a book, but he stopped before he got to type checking and pattern matching, which are exactly what I've tended to struggle with. I can write a lisp or other dynamically-typed lambda calculus-based language with ease. The hard part is the type checker and (to a lesser extent) Hindley-Milner. I've managed to figure out Hindley-Milner but am stuck on how to write the pattern matcher and certain aspects of the type checker.

There are also one or two dense academic books from the 1970s that I found hard to follow. The one that's helped me get the furthest is Pierce's Types and Programming Languages, which is dense and academic but also well-written and with good examples. But I'd really love such a book written in a similar style to this "Compiler Book", "Writing an Interpreter in Go", etc.

Also, a general complaint about recent compiler/interpreter books: Most of these books go deep into parsing (the easiest part) and ASTs, but then they spend relatively little time on codegen and type checking, which are far more difficult.
During some political protests a couple of years ago, in my part of town, a driver panicked and chose to drive through a crowd of high school kids crossing a street, with a walk light and police supervision. Luckily no one was killed, but one girl went under the car and had her leg crushed.

I wonder how many drivers learned from that one?
The linked article uses ~300 cookies and ~30 ads. I'm starting to realize that with news sites, we're not looking at the news -- we are the news!
It's still their software? And I imagine the reason it was turned into proprietary software is that they weren't getting paid for it.
Despite the innuendo, that piece doesn’t actually show that.

Apple exists under the same tax regime as every other company and pays what is due. You can certainly argue for increasing taxes on various corporate activities, but to claim that Apple doesn’t pay it’s share is false.
I don’t disagree. To be belligerent when there is no need isn’t helpful. Trump is certainly guilty of that.

But willingness to turn your rhetoric into action is more important so that others understand that you mean what you say.

For example, if you say nice things, but demonstrate that you don’t mean what you say, then what do all those nice things you said amount to? Nothing.
My personal belief is that this can go either way. If the tariffs go hand in hand with other policies they may bring business back to the US or it can go the other way. It requires a well thought out strategy. I have my doubts that the US has such a strategy but we'll have to see.
My point is, as a manager one can request that their subordinates get credentials to access systems. Therefore as a manager you could create a fictitious person (or use one that's recently left the company), and have them be given credentials to access those systems. Then you could use that fictional identity to do whatever nefarious things you want to do.

Then again it could be just as simple to create an alternate fictitious identity without going through IT but just by accessing the systems you have permission to access anyway.

One thing different is he seemed to be kind of promoting a view of the world, that everyone should try to be some kind of rich asshole and keep other people down to help himself. We don't need laws, other than courts, cause we'll just sue people to protect our rights. But that doesn't really work, only rich people cna afford to do that. all us regular folks have to sign employment agreements forcing us to non-judicial means to settle lawsuits.

I totally agree that menu bars and shortcut hints in menus are important ui features. But I draw the line at global menu bars.

If I've got an app in a small window in the lower corner of my screen (which in fact I do at this moment), I want the menus for it right there, not all the way in the far corner of the screen.

Plus, global menus are terrible with focus-follows-mouse, which for me is such an important feature that I've even set up my work Windows laptop to have that behavior.
Even in populated areas there can be professional differences, my favorite being Pitmatic, a variation on the dialects of Northeast England that derives from coal miners. It is indeed disappearing, if not disappeared (along with most of the coal miners)
You can only explicitly price yourself out if that's an option. If every player in the market sells your data regardless of their price points the only option is to not buy anything at all.

It seems YouTube's statement here is really disingenuous. When they say "We are working with MITOpenCourseWare and Blender Foundation to get their videos back online." they mean that they are holding these non-profit organizations' video hosting rights hostage until they agree to enable ads!

I agree with you.

VLC on the Note 8 (and the S8) can do 8K decoding at 48fps, as is demoed here: https://vimeo.com/254723180

We've spent quite a bit of time to get that right, though, and those are rare devices (and does not work with the Qcom version).

Maybe that's one video, with low bitrate (5Mbps), but it worked.
Other than unlikely damage to the total user critical mass effect, what does YouTube potentially lose from kicking blender out?
Every month I buy a Ferrari for 250,000 en sell it for 200,000. I can now make a blogpost and say I have a revenue of 200,000/month.

A Short History of Paper Boats (2011)
Your last paragraph was what I came here to say: I fly a small Cessna 172 and when i first started to fly i was being cleared to solo and the instructor who cleared me gave feedback on my landings at the end. His main remark was "You'll start to feel it in your rear soon enough, it comes around the 150-200 hour mark, but in the meanwhile, trust the instruments and your visual indicators". Ironically you're simultaneously taught to always trust the instruments over your inner ear, and generally as much as I do get the buttock feeling now, I would say my primary focus remains on the visuals + instruments.

Blender serves as an optimal test case for other large non-profits with online video content that Google may push off YouTube (would love to see PyCon move their archives off as well).

Discovery and subscriptions will need to be solved, but that’s not insurmountable (ie RSS). CDNs can be plug and play in front of nginx (if P2P torrent isn't your cup of tea), backend storage can be whatever is cheapest.
Tried to implement page flipping today and performances are terribly low on the Raspberry PI due to direct draw calls to the video mapped memory... so you need to do a single memcpy to avoid multiple write to the video mapped memory, this result in the initial behavior.
Oh wow, I didn't notice that. I wrote gdb, but my phone autoincorrected it to gen.
The numbers can be dramatically reduced by better safety standards for roads, vehicles, and better training (stricter driving tests, better control of distracted and drunken driving).

Take the UK for example. It has many of these safety improvements, and gets one quarter of the risk of dying in a car accident (one half the risk per mile driven, since Americans drive further).

My hot take is that ~50 years of wage stagnation makes a country bitter. Especially when you see how well it correlates with international trade being liberalized. The people have a reason to be pissed. I'm in favor of free trade, but no politician or economist has come up with a good plan to deal with how the wealth is currently being distributed. We need better ideas, because all normal politically feasible tools haven't seemed to work. Though I wouldn't say America has tried very hard at addressing it.

I don't strictly disagree, but it is worth considering for anything other than hobby projects what is the mid to long life expectancy of the stack you are relying on.

An unmaintained lib might not become a problem or it could become a major obstacle down the line. It's a gamble.
I also wanted to make an additional comment expressing my frustration with the consistently negative comments on posts like this about JS Frameworks.

These commenters, those who see React as "just another JS Framework" and whom see JavaScript developers as people who would change JS Frameworks as if they were ordering a new drink at Starbucks: These people are the epitome of amateur.

Building web apps has been my career for nearly a decade. If you think entire teams would just up and switch to a new JS framework tomorrow because of a Medium article, or because of Github stars, you don't understand how the industry works at all.

React is not a fashion statement, it's an evolved paradigm shift in the web. Vue is not, it looks like Angular and Handlebars, the way apps were built 5 years ago, it adds nothing to the industry but more bloat and distracting people from using React.
As a fellow paying YouTube Red customer, this hadn't occurred to me. I shall do so as well.
How exactly do these gadgets ‘compensate’ for loss of education health-care, financial independence, and ability to grow wealth?
This episode only looked at one side of the business. There is a "legitimate" side of dropshipping, and there's the get rich quick, then die side of drop shipping. To dropship "for real" you need to build actual relationships with suppliers who are typically in the states. The margins are paper thin, and they're not very tech savvy most of the time. You typically have to prove yourself. Dropshippers provide real value. Good dropshippers are marketing experts. They build good customer relationships. It's a legitimate business. But getting into it is A LOT harder today. Consumer habits are different.

We're saying the same thing
Though pilots have to be careful, because feelings can be deceptive especially if you can't see the horizon (clouds, night). In those conditions you must trust the instruments over what you are feeling.
And I've seen some articles/papers suggesting that protectionist policies can make sense for an emerging/developing economy to make sure that established/developed economies don't usurp that growth by blocking them from moving up the value chain.

So it may have been good policy back when America was a fledgling economy being exploited by the Brits.

Not saying you're wrong, but why not?
Tens of thousands of people die from specific medical problems without us deciding that non-consenting ordinary citizens should be human guinea pigs for risky speculative attempts to test the efficaac of possible prophylactics. I'm really not sure why you think autonomous cars would or should be treated any differently.

Especially when the evidence from the current development of self driving cars is that a self driving car killing someone results in an entire testing programme to be suspended for months, possibly permanently, whilst the company is excoriated for taking unnecessary risks and is considerably less likely to develop a commercial application of SDVs as a result. It also shows that SDVs kill at a higher rate than non-SDVs even with human backstops, which is a much better test of whether they will actually save lives than "does a handful of test vehicles kill as many people as a few hundred million humans"
Azure Scheduler seems to be aimed towards recurring tasks. So a scheduled request from Posthook is more actionable than a recurring execution from Azure Scheduler for the use cases I'm aiming to help solve with Posthook (think reminders). Also I'm hoping Posthook is a simpler offering in terms of pricing and integration.
The root of the problem of all of this is the Quarterly Earnings Report. Every public company has to show growth every single quarter, otherwise investors will punish them. Therefore they have to do every dirty little thing they can to get money coming in.

Get rid of the quarterly reporting and let businesses get back to competing on customer service and you'll see this all go away.
A Social Dating WebApp Builder; OpenSource with PHP 7
A candidate may get pregnant between the ages of 20 - 40. About half the people in my social circle with kids aren't married and almost all had their kid(s) after 35. This is quite a definite trend here in W-Europe.

Here in Belgium maternity leave is actually quite short, but you have the option to extend it for many months albeit at a reduced pay (provided by the govt). Not everyone can afford to extend it. Dads can also get paternity leave, up until the kid is 12yrs old.

Gender roles are changing a lot, paradoxically me as the father / chauffeur of the family is the one who has to leave by 5:30PM every day to get to day care on time while my partner doesn't have that limitation on her working hours.
I wonder if after the butt dial, your butt locked the phone (or it auto-locked after a time)?
Thanks for your insight. You're not too far off, but my margins are much higher - thank goodness. I've been at this for 5 years and also have an employee who helps with all the cutting, packaging and shipping. I offer a flat rate shipping fee for small price orders anything under $45. Sales above $45 ship with a Canada Post calculated shipping rate. Good luck with your business :)

What global db do you envision that has everyone's accurate voice print?
As both global economic growth and inflation continue the fraction of the world's inhabitants with more than the arbitrary $1,000,000 cutoff will continue to grow. Not that net worth is always the best measure of wellbeing, the person with the least net worth in the world is an American with billions in debt despite his several mansions and I don't think he's worse off than I am.

What a worthless statistic. No normalizing for the number of millionaires or for inflation. And a million dollars ain't what it used to be.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz refresh more or less imperceptible to the average human? I'm sure there's a distribution, but I'd be hard pressed to find a person who could differentiate between 100Hz and 120Hz refresh. It seems like a waste to push rendering beyond the point at which we can even tell there's a difference.

Edit: Thanks for the feedback, I guess it is perceptible. Nevertheless, I think my argument becomes valid at some N. Sure, N !== 60, but N = 144 or 120 may be more reasonable. I'm not too concerned with what N is, more so with the fact that "doubling the refresh rate" eventually becomes an act of futility.
Do you normally give up after a single bad experience in other areas of your life?

Try reporting it again. Sounds like your first report simply got lost somehow. I think every issue I've ever reported has gotten fixed, so it's not like they're habitually ignoring reports.
