I think it's a new fad, tons of this "protein food" is popping up everywhere, even at gas stations.

Often marketed in the same way as energy drinks are marketed "You do hard work, you need the proteins."

And because nearly everybody thinks of themselves as "doing hard work", even in an office, people buy the stuff like an "all-in-one meal" solution.

As somebody who works in medical nutrition I'm kinda sour about this, for years I've been telling people at work that this will be a big thing soon and we'd be in exactly the right place, with exactly the kind of experience, to get in early on this.

Like most of my ideas it was deemed too far-fetched and so we did nothing, now the stuff is popping up everywhere, sold by companies with no real background in nutrition, kinda similar to Soylent.
I've gone back to IRC and created some Signal groups. Slack, Discord, and all of these new chat applications are frankly abominations.

It is good just for the simple stuff, the world of webapp examples, todo lists and so on. For all that, Elm is much better.

For all things more complicated and that require intelligence to think about good architecture and how to structure state, the magic of Vuex won't do the job for you, and in fact it will hinder you from doing it. React doesn't have these limitations.

Also, the community on Discord is not friendly, in fact the community and the limitations of the framework are quite similar, they're all "write a todo-app like the tutorial, or I won't be able to help you".
Can you continue to try months? Surely getting your friends or family to help should help you narrow it down.
>You’ll be adding similar boilerplate for computed properties, component state, watchers, etc. Pretty much everything in Vue has its own special syntax with more boilerplate.

I kinda like this syntax, when I first learned vuejs I knew immediately that some magic was going on in the background. If I saw marko's syntax I'd be wondering how this shit is getting done. It also makes it easier when searching for issues or suggestions. "vuejs computed property" vs searching generic terms.

>Chat based community

This part is simply not true, there's tons of individual vuejs communities all pretty decent. Shoot me for saying this but laracast isn't a bad option for Vue help. Everytime I have an obscure problem I find a solution on there.

>The reactivity system will only track changes under certain conditions. Don’t expect to throw anything you wish at it

This is the one part I hate about vue.

>Does this mean authentication logic goes in Vuex too? Will a state manager start mediating all application logic now?

Been there done that. I typically use vuejs for lightweight applications solely because I do run into this issue.
Yes! This what excited me when 8 first heard about it and I was perplexed why people focused on reservations. That's just the door, and companies on the other end are interested in lowering the barrier for customers.

Interesting. I had subscribed via Amazon for Kindle and did it automatically. I wonder if the same thing would be true if you bought your subscription through the app.

GP argues that they have no incentive to offer a non-ad-subsidized TV at a higher price, because consumers will for the large part not notice ad-(preference-)subsidization or otherwise consider it a factor in the decision to buy such a TV.
I think a key distinction here is that their intentions are not to wipe out all animals of a species, which would cause them to lose their income.

Genocide is a relatively new term, created to describe the Nazis. It combines the word genos, which means race or tribe, and -cide, death.

I tried to pay off my mortgage this week and I had to go to a physical bank and handle them a check for seven hundred dollars. So stupid.
> No. You are not supposed to track it. You are supposed to see the programs so they get high ratings and refinance their license.

That's the thing though, I do watch the games live. I also like to follow and discuss key events on Reddit match threads (which are fantastic, informative, funny and insightful).

They wouldn't be possible without easily accessible clips; there are no official alternatives and with the rights situation the way there are, it's unlikely to happen legally (even with a fee) any time soon.

> What you wish you'd known before getting into JavaScript?

JavaScript is fundamentally different than Python or Java.

Learn plain JavaScript alongside learning a framework - it won't bore you too much with theory and you start right away building things

> too much noise out there with dozens of frameworks

Really, for the most part, it all boils down to React, Vue and Angular. Those are the mainstream ones, then you have hundreds or thousands of alternatives, but as a beginner, you'd better stick to the most popular ones, easier to find help and libraries.

> (e.g. CoffeeScript, TypeScript, JSX, etc)

CoffeeScript is no longer widely used. As I see it, it was mostly a good introduction to JavaScript for Ruby developers, but I haven't seen lots of CoffeeScript projects after the recent ECMAScript releases (ES6-7-8)

Watch out for outdated tutorials: after 2015 JavaScript changed a lot.

JSX is not a language variation, but rather a different way to write templates.

Avoid getting too picky with the tooling: if using Vue, just use Vue CLI. With React, just use create-react-app

Rely on a code formatter: Prettier. Also, use ESLint to make sure you start with the right foot on code best practices

Don't fall in the dogma and cargo cult traps: listen, learn, but pick your choices

This 'reference' business really seems to stick in people's craws for some reason. I don't mean it disparagingly nor do I feel 'reference' is limited to the style of cookbooks and dictionaries. Nobody writes a multi-volume (or monolith-sized) technical work without the intent it also be used as reference. The work might have other purposes and even a different stated primary purpose - that doesn't make it not-a-reference.
Yes. As I mentioned in another comment, however, pretty much everyone who wants to expand these sorts of positions to women expect that they would be held to the same standards (e.g., fitness requirements) that men in these positions, while the study itself drew from women based only on the current fitness standards, which are easier for women than men.

Yes, I also felt this reading his post. I think that he is rather ignorant of the fact that the vast majority of people reading the book (it won the Pulitzer Prize, after all) WON'T have a working knowledge of Godel's theorem. He's not well-placed to judge the efficacy of the record player analogy.
Do the interesting people really come to meetups? Almost all the tech ones seem like glorified networking or recruitment watering holes.

We also need to treat our food animals well, because eating poorly treated animals is unhealthy. Both physically, and spiritually. Bad chemicals, and bad karma.
This "gap" will be easier to bridge than people seem to think.

Think about a classic hamburger. It doesn't resemble a "grazing, hairy thing" at all. An insect based hamburger (so based on ground insect 'meat' instead of cow) wound't resemble a "wiggly, squirmy thing" either.

Ditto chicken and pork. Honestly if our animal-based foods looked more like the animal there would probably be more vegetarians :)

I had an interview at Agilent. They had 500 applicants. You needed to have a PhD or MBA or both. I was among the last three candidates and they congratulated me, "you got the job". Then they axed the job. There was just a curse on me. Really don't want to think back about that time. Started over in China with nothing. Was basically an illegal immigrant there.
Probably proportionally based for each one.

Legacy applicants are X% more qualified naturally (well educated parents, etc), and get Y% from the admissions. Given the numbers for Harvard, MIT, etc, there are plenty of qualified applicants for each spot.
Many big tech companies made their hiring processes more transparent. Partly because of the call for more diversity in tech. I hope colleges follow suit. Even if the formula is "Rich daddy" + "lacross".

I bought an upper midrange dumb TV about 10 years ago (LED, full array dimming) and it's still working flawlessly. The only downside is it has massive bezels and is fairly thick.

It might seem silly, but I recently considered upgrading it purely for aesthetic reasons and was ready to spend the money, but the smart TV aspect is a major turnoff so I decided against it for now. Even if I don't use the smart TV features there's still downsides like boot time.
I had this argument the other day with someone else.

You can't make a robot that goes out in public and kills random people. You just can't do that. Okay?

Q: "What if the robot looks just like a car and there's a person inside the robot watching TV? Can it kill random people then?"

Still no.

Q: "But people do that all the time! Tens of thousands of people die or are maimed by traffic collisions every year! My robot can't join the fray?"

Still no. It's insane and horrible that we set up a death and mayhem lottery and that we force everyone-- children, old people, pregnant ladies, folks in wheelchairs, ev-er-ee-one -- to play it whether they want to or not. That's a bad thing we shouldn't do. But it still doesn't make it okay for you to make a robot that goes out in public and kills random people.

If you make a robot, send it into the world, and it kills someone, you are a murderer and you should go to jail, even if your robot looks like a car and there's a person riding inside it.

We could make a self-driving golf cart that never went fast enough to be able to injure people and it could take my mom (who has dementia and can't drive or ride the bus on her own anymore) to the doctor and back safely. We could build that today, with existing technology, there's a market for it, and it wouldn't kill anyone.

Self-driving cars are a fetish that distracts from solving real problems! (One day that won't be true, let's not kill too many more people until then, hey?)

- - - - -

Humans drive really well. Like really really crazy good well. When I first realized how well people drive it made me consider that Guardian Angels might be a real thing. But then I learned more about how the motor cortex worked and some of the uncanniness faded.

We should be so lucky as to have robots that drive as well as we do.

In the meantime, the industry should concentrate on incrementally automating traffic and stop trying to bite off more than current technology can chew.

What we're seeing now is hubris driven by ego and greed. And it's killing people.
Elon calls out a reporter directly for bribing Tesla employee for valuable IP
There are two primary coverage types under renter's insurance policies: liability and personal property.

The liability coverage triggers for anything from people getting hurt on the property to (other) people's stuff accidentally getting damaged on the property. Basically anything anyone could sue you to pay for if it occurs on the property.

The personal property coverage is what covers your stuff if anything happens to it.

A landlord's policy will generally cover two things as well: liability and structure (and possibly property, e.g. major appliances that are supplied with the unit).

Landlord's requiring that tenants have a renter's policy specifically require liability coverage (usually a minimum amount, such as $100k), and don't care if you have personal property coverage. By doing so, they ensure their own premiums stay low because liability claims will go against the tenant's policy first, and only fall back to the landlord if the liability claim goes over what the tenant's policy will cover. So if a tenant has a $100k liability limit, and someone wins a $120k liability claim, then $100k of that gets covered by the tenant's policy before the landlord's insurance even comes into play. If someone wins a $50k claim, then the landlord's insurance never has to deal with it.
I could buy the delicious part, but I don't think there's anything that could be done to insects to make them "visually pleasing" to me, at least as long as they are still recognizable as insects.
It's not clear how people can die from pain itself in childbirth, directly or indirectly, so I don't see how that could be selected for.

People can die indirectly from pain on the battlefield or while hunting, because it leaves you vulnerable to being killed while you're distracted by it. So there's definitely an adaptive advantage for men to develop pain resistance.
One thing I'd love to add is that is to make friends with people: People who are older than you, people that don't do stuff you do, people with radically different ideas and lifestyles, people in different countries/cultural backgrounds, people who are successful and unsuccessful.

If it is possible, you should find ways to talk to people you adore. Many people will spend the time to talk back to you. They will be the fuel in your life when you need advice, help, inspirations.

If you're a person in STEM, you should listen carefully to/date people studying arts, literature, social studies, education, politics... Never ever look them down as not as smart as you are. Think of people who don't think the way you do as being different rather than inferior to you. This is easier said then done, if you have a good job and in general, probably have a higher position in the food chain compared to them.
That happens in basically every industry. The problem is that if you double your own estimate, but no one else does, then your project doesn't get selected. Also, if you double your estimate and go ahead with the project, it will have a psychological impact which causes wasteful spending and slow work that will result in additional overruns...
IDK, the reason soy works so well there is the texture you're able to produce with it. I feel like one of the largest issues most people have with insects are the texture.

The bigger issue here becomes all the side effects of consuming large quantities of soy and how it affects hormone production. Not saying cricket flour wouldn't have a new set of health problems associated with it, but it could be a reason for people to move into insect protein.

Show HN: Anthology of Dystopian Short Stories
If you ask "what did men evolve to do that women didn't?", math, politics, philosophy and engineering would be wrong answers, because for most of human history (and all preindustrial history) only a tiny fraction of people did those things, and in some societies they were women. By contrast, war is fundamentally human -- it has been with us for as long as records are available, and societies often conscripted large fractions of the population -- and historically it was almost entirely performed by men. The only more masculine activity than war is peeing while standing up.
Well...imagine dropping a cannonball and a feather from the top of a tower. Obviously the cannonball is going to hit the ground first. You can then extrapolate this result to heavier objects and conclude that heavier objects fall faster. To explain the behaviour of a small cannonball and a large cannonball, both of which fall to the ground almost at the same time: you see, as the weight of an object increases, an object starts to behave more and more like an extremely heavy object. Thus the difference in dropping time for a heavy object and a heavier object gets immeasurably smaller as the objects increase in mass.

You can come up with all sorts of theories to explain phenomena. It's pretty hard to deduce the underlying rule from observation. But it's pretty easy to explain the phenomenon once you know the underlying rule.
I do have to add that I still miss Clojure and its homoiconicity every time I bump into a limitation of metaprogramming in Kotlin or any other language which is not LISP...

Methane is a much more potent (up to 100x) greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide [1] and previously unknown methane leaks could greatly undermining our current understanding of the carbon footprint of methane.

While I do think other renewable energy sources (solar/wind/geothermo) are the true safer source for mankind's long term continuity, I don't think we can achieve carbon neutral without Nuclear. If we discourage nuclear, it might not even matter in the carbon neutral in 50 years as climate change could potentially wipe a lot of us out on mother earth as it's currently enroute to a irreversible disastrous future.

> Someone earning a second Master's degree in Russian literature is not a productive use of taxpayer money.

How could you possibly know if this is a productive use of taxpayer money or not? Someone with a master's in Russian literature could potentially be very valuable as a spy, a diplomat, a business leader, etc. No matter the degree, having an educated population is incredibly valuable to society as a whole. Government should encourage education and provide it for as low a cost as possible or free. The idea that liberal arts, foreign language, fine arts, etc. majors do not contribute to society that I see mentioned often is frankly ludicrous and insulting to the people who work hard to achieve their education.
