I love the strange looks we get when we tell extended family that our 1.5y old and 4y old kids don't drink juice. I had this exact conversation with a cousin of mine last week. She checked in with me before giving my child juice. When I told her we didn't give our kids juice this is how the conversation went:

Q: "They don't drink juice? What do they drink?"

A: "Water."

Q: "Just water?"

A: "Yep. If you want to get fancy they also drink soda water or water with lemon."

She looked judgy and baffled at how hard-ass my wife and I were about juice. But juice is straight calories in the form of sugar. There's no fibre to slow absorption like you'd get with eating the whole fruit. It's not much better, calorically speaking, than soda.

And in addition to being unhealthy, having young kids wired on sugar also makes our life harder.
It's all a question of management. As someone said: build 20 teams of 5.

The value of learning asm and C doesn't necessarily come from using these languages, but lies in understanding how a CPU works and how memory is laid out and managed. So that you can put abstractions and automatic memory management to good work. There's a reason Knuth uses his MIX assembler language for discussing algorithms and algorithmitic complexity analysis. If you don't know these things, you basically don't know what you're doing when you're programming a computer.

As has been noted by others before: Using unflattering pictures of Kohl has a long history. The term "Birne" (pear) is immediately associated with Kohl in a derogatory context to most Germans.

While I'm no fan of his, this is actually one thing where I have to defend him.

The best book on Kohl (and contemporary German politics) is Heribert Schwan's "Kohl Protokolle". Put aside, the ridiculous law suit Kohl waged against its release (ultimately winning - I'm a lucky owner of the uncensored version) and his former ghostwriter Schwan, as well as all the negative stuff in it about Kohl and politics in general - one thing even Schwan notes in it, is the continuously biased portrait of Kohl by German media (which Schwan was a part of, working for Der Spiegel).

In the book, Schwan (a journalist; himself openly left-leaning before, during and after being Kohls's ghostwriter) paints a picture of the grotesqueness of the lengths German journalists went in making Kohl look like a buffoon (often using Kohl's rural upbringings) while simultaneously exalting his left-leaning predecessor Schmidt (the highly cultured urbanite).

Much of this bias resembles to me the favouritism amongst journalism today. Even to the point where when journalists claim that "everything used to be more civil (oh, the polarizing!) but <insert-your-most-hated-conservative-here> discrediting journalism is really breaking ground for new lows" is itself prove of the bias (since the media bias clearly existed at least in Germany throughout the 1970s and 1980s already).

As the linked article already mentioned, Schmidt died 2015 beloved by most Germans ("best chancellor ever") while Kohl died 2017 more or less shunned.

Skill in UI, or if something should work generally for everybody, or optimized for a specific audience, is audience dependent.
Design is basically cultural anthropology, extracting real world types and positioning products to adress those types.

Technically it's tough to sperate both worlds, because layout (grids) and behavior (transitions, animations) have strong stylistic implications. This then means that a developer skilled in UI (making it work generally) can't adress specific audiences, most likely racing to the bottom (too many others doing the same and competing for the same general audience).
Seems like it doesn’t matter what scientists say. People still go for stupid things like keto and other weird train wreck diets.

The difference between your point and his point is that he could easily provide evidence for his, since there have been numerous lawsuits over these laws by civil rights groups, and the evidence was well publicized in those cases, and there have also been academic studies of these laws. Some links: [1] [2] [3].

There are ineligible people who vote, but almost all of them do so by means that would not be stopped by voter ID laws, most commonly absentee ballots. This makes it very hard to find evidence that supports you points.

I think the post you’re responding to is referring to well established results such as that there is no metabolic pathway to convert dietary protein to adipose tissue. While some dietary protein is glycolysized, that pathway only satisfies immediate energy needs. Excess dietary protein that isn’t used on lean tissue is eliminated by the kidneys.
Several people have asked for sources, so I'd like to point those people to this article, which is an easy-to-digest overview:

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-teicholz-calorie-...

It starts with "Since the early 1900s, medical research has shown that people do lose weight on calorie-restricted diets — in the short term. But in most cases, they quickly gain it back..." and goes onto the studies on things that actually do work long-term, like fixing your sleep, fixing your stress, and limiting carbohydrates in your diet.
How old are you, if you don't mind breaking some OPSEC?

Making it quick, I'm a 20 year old native who's having a troubling time keeping optimistic and feeling 'locked out' from the job market around here. I've only been doing front-end engineering for a non profit for a few years now since High School, but everything still feels so far away and impossible to me, especially because I didn't go straight to college, so I've just been wondering if I'm just not trying hard enough or if I'm actually locked out until I build a decent resume...
This may sound odd, but are you sure your earphones are going in all they way into the plug? If they don’t go in properly you lose a lot of volume. (Possibly because of lint)
definition of fermentation.
It isn't that no one believes in that model of obestity any more. If you locked people in a cage and gave them 1,000 calories of snickers bars a day, yeah they would get lean.

But what complicates the situation is that what you eat affects how much you crave food, and what foods you crave, and how much energy you have, and how you sleep, etc.

Sugar seems to be bad on all of these ancillary fronts.
> I felt a lot of pain once I began to try to mix in a lot more interactivity in the app

I don't think you're actually disagreeing at all. You're using the right tool for the job. You started with one job and the right tool, and when the job changed you switched tools. That's as it should be!

Use Rails until you can't. That's what you did and I can't see the author disagreeing.

You can generalise this to most technology. I know someone who has gotten it into his head that he needs to write his entire new web app using golang and microservices. I'd suggest that when he actually outgrows Rails enough to require that then he can suggest it to his 50-person-plus engineering team, but in truth I don't think he'll ever actually finish it.
There are small amounts of alcohol in juice too.
To add, the "no sugar added" thing is wholly misleading because there are fruit concentrates that companies can add that are basically sugar substitutes. It's technically not "sugar added" but it's basically filled with healthy dollop of fructose (which is worse than sucrose but I'm too lazy to cite a reference).
I thought that was what the "saved" section on my dvd queue was for.

This argument seems like grasping me to. How would one function in society at all without an ID? Opening a bank account, cashing a check, driving a car, visiting a doctor, taking a train or plane, going to court. These are all activities which require ID. Sure, there is a tiny fraction of people who can't engage in those activities. But how likely is it that those folks are going to be voting, anyhow?

This is an evergreen story. Regulations sold as weapons for davids to defend against goliaths are instead used by goliaths to fend off davids. It turns out that Goliath can learn to use a sling too, and can hurl bigger stones with it. This is why goliaths like regulations so much, and why patents may be more disease than cure.
So you're saying that overly pedantic writing causes clarity to suffer?
Obviously calories matter, but there's just so much more going on than that. For example, your body's shifting metabolism. Eating certain things causes this to shift. Some people eat healthy constantly and remain overweight; others can't put on pounds no matter what they take in. That's a difference in their natural metabolisms. This is also why exercise matters beyond just the calories you burn over the course of a workout.
Oh, and here's the other HN post I copy pasted from. You might find something interesting there and in that related article.

Not the OP, but for all the people commenting below, I think what the OP means to say is that the body is a very complex system and calories from different sources absolutely do have different affects, on your ability to control fat storage and fat burning and to modulate your appetite. The laws of thermodynamics still hold - if you overeat it doesn't matter what you're eating, you will gain weight. But calories in calories out is so simplistic by comparison to reality, that it's a harmful way to look at things.
>But in most cases, they quickly gain it back.

So they gain it back once they stop being on calorie-restricted diets? This isn't a surprise to anyone. The point of any of these things, CICO or otherwise, is that you do them for your lifetime as a lifestyle change.
You're really going to have to clarify what you mean by "this." Overeating is healthy?
You can write on hackernews, avians can't. I guess the answer is pretty straightforward.

Do the right thing and quite that toxic work place. You will help natural selection: extreme corner-cutters should go out of business. I knew a guy (programmer) who destroyed a company by simply leaving.

Food for thought. Thanks.
Well, yeah, exactly. Saying that "consuming fewer calories than you expend leads to weight loss" is obviously true, but it's a little like saying "you win a game of football by scoring more points than your opponent." While it isn't wrong it doesn't tell you that much about how to go about it.

Could you clarify how you would see these batch data transfered outside of the internet ?

We are speaking of dispatching that data to every single voting stations, set in schools, small town offices, etc. Most "secure" solutions (private lines, central update and physical dispatch of the machines days before the elections, etc) seem difficult and/or crazy costly to me.
My point is you can’t force people to take care of themselves or their kids, regardless of whether you give them food stamps or just cash. Sure, food stamps guide them perhaps in the right direction, but there’s no guarantee those parents will use the food stamps responsibly. Bad parents will be bad parents. Those bad parents that would let their kids starve if they were given money rather than food stamps should have their kids taken away from them. But I don’t think most people on food stamps are like that.

So then the question is is the overhead worth that marginal case?

Calories in - calories out. However, what goes out (urine, stool) depends on the type of nutrition and in what combination it is eaten. carbohydrates are the easiest to absorb, followed by fats and last protein.
> Sometimes it's "get over this budget hump using two devs instead of five or we go out of business". And then you do get over it and all of a sudden the company is hugely successful...

Seems you are judging from the SV / startup / USA bubble. Most of the world works in VERY different conditions than that.

I mean yeah, bosses whipping their devs for maximum throughput happens everywhere but the combination of factors you describe seems to be specific for USA.
Next, let's dispel the notion that fat is bad for you. It's the strangest thing to me to see parents feeding their kids "skim milk", which is really just milk flavored water, because whole milk "has fat" and therefore must make their children fat.

I only drank whole milk as a kid. A glass with every meal. My parents never bought any juice or soda and me and all of my siblings grew up healthy and strong with no cavities or health issues.

It makes me cringe seeing overweight children glugging down sodas, but it makes me equally sad seeing horribly skinny children who's bones could be broken by the wind.

Yes it was a couple of years ago.

> In the case I alluded to here it was a configuration issue. I eventually solved it, but it took me about 4-5 hours of Googling and reading settings files. Really not something an end-user should have to think about.

Indeed, but if your project controls everything above the kernel to the desktop environment (what Haiku already does, minus the kernel itself) you can handle the configuration too. The idea is that a program will talk to your desktop API which will talk to the kernel - the configuration is up to you to handle pretty much the same way as Haiku already does.

> Great. Show me a Linux distribution right now that can do that, while also having the default installed web browser play YouTube. Is it "possible"? I don't know, but nobody seems to be doing it.

I think you totally misunderstood the part you quoted. I was referring to X11, the earlier implementations of which was running on hardware like IBM 6152 with a 5.9MHz CPU and 1MB of RAM. A $5 Raspberry Pi Zero is a sci-fi level supercomputer compared to that.

There is no point going antagonistic over this, the Haiku site has all the information you need:

https://www.haiku-os.org/node/4390/

Also last time i checked there wasn't even accelerated OpenGL.

I mean, really consider the issues people have on a popular OS like Linux to get hardware working properly - Haiku is in a much worse position here.

This rsync wrapper: rsnapshot http://rsnapshot.org/
For breakfast, my wife and I squeeze a single grapefruit and single orange (the old fashioned, manual and unfiltered way, keeping any "bits") and split and drink that. It's not much to look at - a little over half a short glass each. Basically we have the juice and some of the fibre from a single piece of fruit each.

If you think about how much fruit it takes to create a 600ml bottle of juice its crazy. If you couldn't stomach eating half a dozen oranges in a sitting, why would you think that drinking that much juice at a time (sometimes multiple times a day) would be good for you?
Grape juice is the notorious one here. It doesn't have a very strong taste on its own, so when blended basically serves as a not-technically-added-sugar source of added sugar.

Haven't used rsync yet but it sounds like the ultimate backup tool. What language do you script it in, bash/shell or others?
Maybe, but the author writes: "This book is for anyone wanting to learn C, or who has once wondered how to build their own programming language ... But C is not about software development and careers."

So the author has something else in mind: building a high level language from the hardware up. C#, JavaScript, Java, and Python already contain much of the basic functionality of Lisp, most importantly a garbage collector, memory safety, and high-level data types.
We have a century of evidence that calorie restriction is not a diet people can stay on. I just sourced this above. Calorie restriction alone while eating fast food, soda, cake, etc is a diet of chronic hunger/deprivation, and "become a monk with an iron will until your death" is not a reasonable "lifestyle change" to suggest. That's why "just count calories" is not the advice any respectable scientist would give an obese person, which I believe was @amasad's point.
Well, it isn't really beside the point, since some foods give you calories without making you feel full or even while making you hungrier -- for instance, juice, according to this article..
Technically, yes. In practice no.

I've mostly dabbled with preview, Adobe reader, Zotero and Mendeley. You can in all do whatever advance shit you'd like in 3rd party software and copy-paste.
That was going to be my suggestion. But I was thinking along the lines of orange juice, pomegranate juice and some tequila. Another interesting combo is OJ, pineapple juice, pomegranate, coconut rum and regular rum.
> Videoconferencing and phone calls can take care of not all but a large measure of the personality issues that can crop up.

You seem to be making large assumptions and arguing straw man issues. What makes you think that both the author and I don’t use videoconferencing or phone calls? I didn’t say anything about it, and the article mentioned screening calls right at the top; literally the 4th sentence.

> I find it odd how the wrong six-figure hire is bandied about but the existing 2-six-figure manager

Please explain. What’s “wrong” about my suggestion that an engineer will “probably” make something near six figures? Average salary for all engineering in the US is north of $85k. The average engineering manager salary is around ~$130k.

> spending half his workweek interviewing nonhires instead of working

You seem to be assuming that the manager is always interviewing, as opposed to, say, filling a few positions, working without hiring for a few months, filling a few more positions.

The guy in the article is a recruiter, so recruiting is his full time job. If a normal engineering manager has other work, then recruiting isn’t their full time job, and they might not be hiring at all times. I haven’t ever worked in a department that was constantly hiring, neither in startups nor in huge global companies. Have you?

Suggesting that the cost of interviewing a dozen people is larger than the cost of employing one not-so-great engineer seems, from my perspective, to be off the mark.
Without applying a moral judgment ("is/n't high-tech") I think we can all agree that phone systems were less abstract than the systems Alphabet and Amazon are operating. The Bell system had clear, regional lines it could be broken up along, and that was a convenient handle for legislators to grab onto. It's not clear to me how you could go about breaking up Alphabet, and it must be very confusing for someone with more of a background in civics than software.
People with larger openings can put a little rubber on them to increase the diameter and add friction. There are some third party products and DIY methods out there.
I would disagree, the assumption that the data has the same distribution in your training set as it will in application is not required at all, and in fact it is often better to have more data around the edge of the classification set.
I was studying in Japan when the sarin attack occurred. An interesting time to be learning Japanese, words like kidnapping come up a lot more often in the newspaper than they did normally.

In hindsight, throwing a party at our foreigners dorm and putting up posters with Asahara Shoukou dancing with a bear were probably done in poor taste, as the university president asserted to us.
I'm not quite sure if this is a joke or not.

In ColorForth, color is part of the syntax - it matters whether or not some text is white or green or yellow, in the same way that "//" matters in C or indentation matters in Python. What would the use of millions of indistinguishably-fine syntax cases be? What are benevolent uses of transparent source code?

OTOH, ColorForth is really cool, and admirable for its minimalism and effectiveness. A featureful port to a modern platform would be really fun to play with.

Anecdotally, the two times I have had this happen it went...

1. Me, calls IRS: "Hey, this is wrong because ..."

2. IRS: "Ok, fill out this form and send it in"

3. Me: Fills out form and sends it in

4. IRS: Provides me a document saying I am all set

Probably about 3-4 weeks all said and done.

I was actually impressed with how painless it was and how friendly the people were. An audit is a different story.
