I had to recently increase my user noproc ulimit because Chrome was spawning so many background threads that it was hitting the limit and causing all my applications to crash/behave strangely. On a system with (only) 4GB of ram, Chrome is such a resource hog that it is almost unusable without Tab Suspender.
Is it though?

1) You can liquidate, move and bring your wealth with you to a new jurisdiction that would love the capital infusion. You can start a political movement and gather grassroots support to install a less corrupt administration. You can become a revolutionary and fight the state.

There are options; you just don't like them.

The big issue with corruption isn't "what can Joe Q. Average do to stop it".

2) You can't punish a private company by putting together an activist short sell play - it's private, not public.

If a public company squanders money through poor dealings, you probably can't punish them either.

Bill Ackman might be a wee bit of a dick, but he's got a war chest larger than yours and he got his firm, Pershing Square, beat the fuck up exercising his 'options' against Herbalife, who he believed was engaging in corrupt dealings. Right or wrong, Carl Icahn hates Ackman for a lawsuit Ackman won against him and decided to throw piles of money into a short squeeze against Ackman's play.

Sending stuff in space is a lot more than just loading weight into a rocket and blast it in orbit. The research involved in space missions is huge and involves materials, fuel, energy, health, etc. potentially benefiting every possible field, including those unrelated with space. Even if cancer cure research isn't directly affected, good chances are that cancer detection is.
Probably not quite what you're looking for, as I assume you're looking for a Modern C++ guide for Python developers, but surely the Boost Python source is worth a look for good Modern C++ to interact with Python. Fair warning, the learning curve on understanding or using this library is more like a cliff than a curve. It is very heaving in TMP (Template Meta Programming). That said, if you can make sense of this, you can probably consider yourself a near expert in TMP.
It's been a long time, my memory is less a collection of data and more a hazy soup of anecdotes.

I do suspect that Photoshop filters might get some real performance gains out of AltiVec instructions, maybe my boring developer style workloads weren't reaping similar benefits from the availability of those instructions.

"The research indicates that people can maintain a healthy weight by constantly bringing the levels of insulin back to a healthy minimum. This can be done by increasing the time between meals and eliminating snacks, without making amends at mealtime."

I believe this is the actual study: https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(12)...
Your body is always burning fat, it's not a state machine, it's a super parallel bunch of cells. The proportion varies robustly with energy demand, oxygen supply is the limiting factor to meeting the demand and getting fat into energy is less oxygen efficient than doing the same with glycogen.

But this is an entirely academic point designed to mislead people. Given glycogen stores top out at ~8 MJ while there is many many magnitudes more in fat, it's like delving into the details of L2 cache or main memory. It's down in the noise given weight gain or loss is a months long process.

Hey, if you feel like you can better maintain by trying to be permanently glycogen depleted, you do you. But why that works or doesn't really has nothing to do with any of the things you mentioned.
Why not use a more lightweight browser then?
This article is about Chrome's implementation of the W3C Page Lifecycle API[1]. In the long-term, this approach applies across all browsers, contrary to the current HN title's implication that this is a Chrome-specific solution.

You might read this. It doesn't defend the insulin hypothesis, but it explains how freaking _weird_ nutrition is. http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/25/book-review-the-hungry-...

Specifically it shows that, for some people, they have to eat 4x of what they would normally eat in order to gain any weight. That's super weird. The body has a lot of ways to either preserve or burn energy if it thinks it's in a fasting/feasting mode, which will work again people who are using a simple "cals-in cals-out" model.
What new UI features does a video-catalogue website really need, though?

They've reached or passed maturity and are adding dubious features like the miniplayer that keeps playing the video you've just back-buttoned out of. Things that benefit advetisers, not users.

The truly beneficial features should be server-side; culling those awful 'Top 10 Shocking ...' videos from my recommendations, for example. Or realising that just because I watched one programme about military re-enactment, once in ten years, I probably don't want to watch another 30.
I've tried medicines that increase ones appetite, and have a new respect for those that overeat. If one had the appetite, it's soo much harder to resist, and I often could not and increased weight by tens of kg.

Tldr: it's hard to resist with too high apetite
I built a simple keyboard matrix with a "scanner": http://tinyurl.com/yanykyws

That LED represents a something (probably firmware on the keyboard) reacting to the switch being pressed by a user.

Edit: I used a decade counter with a 5 col matrix for simplicity. I was using a 4 bit binary counter, but the browser started really bogging down with a bunch of components.
I recently went through the trouble of getting a custom split layout mechanical keyboard machined. I have a write-up/buildlog here:

Is it possible you can show a partial grid?

e.g. there's so many boxes inside of boxes.

It would be nice if say within the `body` tag, you show items that are at most 1,2,3,4 levels deep at most.
This could be exaggerated underlying sex differences that move away from the mean during periods of increased eating and physical activity: both men and women consume absolutely more calories while travelling, but men have relatively more muscle.

Wow that was a good post. I have read other Modern C++ things are they were so dense. If all the sections were in a little book, I'd buy it.
Free speech and transparency are ideals, not just laws. It's not unreasonable to hold a platform accountable for its ideals, even if it isn't doing anything illegal.

On a more pragmatic level, if they're standing in the way of political speech by elected politicians without transparency, those politicians will eventually decide to legislate against Twitter.

>Besides, there never was a time, when there was no hunger on earth.

We produce enough food, now, to feed every human being on this planet. In fact we make 17% more food per person today then we did 30 years ago, even with the population increasing over that time period. [1]

Ending hunger is an achievable goal.

>I don't think it is smart to stop everything else until we get there

Again, no one is saying we "stop everything else until we get there."

I'm impressed. I don't think the web would be where it is today without JQuery, and being able to completely pull it out is pretty awesome. Not because of JQ-hate, but web standards have improved that much.
Don't know the details of how they handle this but going above 100 tabs in Chrome proved to be too laggy and slow to be usable.

Meanwhile I've had 800+ tabs open in Firefox with no noticeable issues.
I’ve tried two approaches. The first was just to reduce calories in all three macros proportionally and I lost weight, but I lost noticeable amounts of muscle. The second time I reduced just the carbs (still not “low carb” though) I lost the same amount of weight but retained more muscle.

I think calories in calories out affects weight, the macro breakdown affects the type of weight lost (as in muscle vs fat)
That's not how it works, the chances of two people matching as identical (on the SNP tested by 23andme) by random is astronomically low - orders of magnitude higher than the total number of humans who've ever lived.

Generally at a 7cM overlap you have 50:50 chance whether you're related to that person or not. Anything over say 150cM you're virtually certain to be related (ignoring endogamous populations). At 3,400cM (full-match) it's not even worth considering randomness.
It's unintuitive, but I believe the probability ends up being 1-ln(2) if you think of n as being uniformly random.

> For this to be true, it would have to be true that the millions of people struggling with weight, and the tens of thousands of researchers in the field, are all simply idiots who are not as smart as you.

There's no need to leap to 'idiocy', it could mean the people struggling with weight have either poor willpower, or honestly don't know how to eat well. You can see this by watching shows like 'Secret Eaters' and seeing how incredibly common it is that people are over-eating and just don't realise it.

And researchers will research wherever there's funding/academic opportunity.

> You're underestimating the cost of US healthcare per capita by an extreme amount. Universal healthcare would cost a minimum of $3.6 trillion (that's an ideal scenario where the US gets its per capita spending down to other high spending nations), and a more likely ~$4.5 trillion.

I think you're forgetting that right now, the cost of healthcare is externalized to the citizens. So, yes, we'd pay more in taxes for socialized healthcare, but we get more in our paycheck because our companies don't have to deal with private health insurance anymore. Especially with the mandate...everyone is aalready paying for health care in some form or other.

Not to mention that many projections show socialized healthcare would be a net gain as far as money being spent goes.

In other words, socialized healthcare would more than pay for itself, if US citizens weren't so fucking stupid about labeling things "socialism" when it has nothing to do with the workers seizing the means of production.
Moo tools...
There's distinctions to make here:

1) People who don't manage their nutrition and maintain a healthy weight

2) People who manage their nutrition and maintain a healthy weight

3) People who don't manage their nutrition and have uncontrollable weight gain

Yes, if everyone who is (3) started going to the gym and counting calories as (2) do, then they would have an easier time maintaining a healthy weight. But most people can't do that. I can't do that for more than like a week at a time, but it doesn't matter because I'm a (1).

Why are (1) and (3) different? This has nothing to do with self-control or willpower. There's something off in (3)'s biological systems that calibrate their intake of food. The slightest caloric surplus leads to substantial weight gain over time. This question could occupy an army of scientists for decades, but the stigma against fat people has done serious damage to this very important medical research.
His point still stands.

Yes, he can handle a 3500 Cal/day diet with his activity level. Maybe you only need 1500-2000 (like most people in the first world not working manual labor jobs). Okay, so if you're gaining weight, it's because of metabolic processes adding to your body mass. This is one of two things: building muscle, or storing fat (adding bone is pretty minimal, and likely going to be strongly correlated with activity that builds muscle, so we'll just ignore it)

If you're building muscle, it's because your body is taking in more materials (especially proteins) and using them to repair tears to your muscular system due to activity/damage than it is eliminating through use. If you're storing fat, it's because your body is taking in more materials (typically carbs/fats) and storing them in your body in case you need them later than it is eliminating through use.

It's always because you take in more than you use. And weight loss is the opposite.

It's that simple. Whether you eat all carbs or 0 carbs, weigh 100LB or 400 LB, lay in bed 24 hours a day or move constantly, it's a very simple mechanism for what causes obesity. Calorie surplus = storage. Calorie defect = weight loss.
When MIT stopped teaching Scheme (replaced with Python) a couple of years back, yet another essential concept in computing left the academy. This is exactly the kind of thing Kay means when he talks about computing pop-culture.

Anyone who's ever read The Little Schemer knows what I mean.
Meanwhile, we're still waiting for the "too many tabs" UI problem to be addressed. The had a hidden side tabs option that looked promising but got rid of it.
When you use encrypted backups on iOS, Google Authenticator maintains its state and there's no need to reset 2FA. I'm sure there are similar mechanisms for Android.
No idea, since the NFC was actually pretty convenient. Considering the Yubico authenticator has a relatively small amount of downloads on the play store (50k), I'm guessing that feature wasn't used that much.

If you're thinking of getting the USB C versions of Yubikeys and using them with your phone, it does work but since the Yubikey appears as a keyboard, it disables the Android keyboard while it's plugged in. If I remember correctly, U2F support on Android also requires installing the Google authenticator app even though you might not store any codes in it.

You'd think it would be easier to have these things working.
These are the perfect kind of studies to be performed by universities. Sad to see the role of academia declining, and the corporate world taking over.
Soon they will find fish and potentially mermaids and mermans in that water.
Too steep a caloric deficit can be dangerous. For instance, you lose muscle as well, and part of the muscle loss happens in your heart. Not good to say the least.

High protein intake can offset this somewhat, but not entirely, so aim for a 500 calorie deficit at most. In fact, you should cycle calorie deficits week to week, ie. one week in deficit, one week at maintenance. This actually accelerates fat loss because it prevents metabolic adaptations to lower caloric intake. See the MATADOR diet:

The article has changed its title to "Facebook misses on topline in Q2; stock crashes 7.5%" now, kind of funny that it's almost the opposite of the original one (and the article text still sounds very positive).
That was one of the sources I used for the comment.
I generally use Firefox as my main browser. However, I've been leaning on Chrome while the whole post-XUL extension apocalypse settles down and session managers in Firefox are back on par to what they were prior to the switch to web extensions.
Yeah, a couple of my taller buddies gave up on the gym as they saw no results. In hindsight it was clear they just weren’t eating anywhere near enough, if you are tall and active 4K+ is not insane
See I like what you're saying, but try this idea on and see how it fits:

What if instead of all that, we just fucken defund education, destroy the environment, and suck as much wealth out of the dregs of society as we can?
I see where you're coming from. That said, I definitely don't think Jobs "needed" to stab Wozniak in the back there. He still could have shown better moral scruples and be effective. They're not mutually exclusive.

More people who blindly worship Jobs should learn about these back stabbings as well.
Standing up to Jobs happened all the time. But if you were going to do it, you had better have brought your A game.
Workplace training in general can obviously make a difference. My technical skills have improved as a result of such training. Non-technical training has also helped me not to kill people or end up in prison (e.g.relating to safety cases for aerospace systems and legislative compliance). With respect to the softer subjects you mention, the (albeit limited) training I've received hasn't changed my own behaviours fundamentally, but has certainly made me understand what to do when issues arise in the workplace (e.g. how to deal with a colleague who is displaying inappropriate behaviours. I've had to deal with this once).

Whether an app is the best way to provide such training is a different question.
Ask HN: Anyone think downvoting is starting to get out of control?
I'm not really talking about my comments as much as other people's comments I see that are just dissenting being down voted because people don't agree with them. It feel like it's being getting worse and worse over the last year, and I feel like it used to not be this way? I was curious if anyone else felt the same way?

edit: in regards to this being flagged, even though the rules say not to talk about down votes in actual discussion i don't think it's bad for the community to at least discuss this in its own thread... I thought the rule was more about not having actual conversations devolve into arguments about downvoting
That's very googlable: I am married. Do you really want to know the exact hour?

A friend explained this to me with an analogy.

"If you make more money than you spend, you will have a lot of money!"

That statement is tautological, and obvious.
But it doesn't address how to become rich.

Now let's compare.

"If you eat more calories than you expend, you will gain weight"

Again, this is likely true, but just very very incomplete. It doesn't attempt to truly get at the why. There are a few hypotheses for why CICO often does such a poor job at explaining the obesity epidemic. The two pieces I find most convincing are (1) there is some metabolic advantage based on the types of foods you eat, and (2) some of the calories out are excreted via waste and not processed by the body, and therefore, the simple CICO equation isn't complex enough.
I've seen comments similar to this one often enough that I need to ask: What is the use case for having that many tabs open, and how can you possibly consume that much information?
After disabling WiFi, I invite you to try and change your DNS servers on your data connection.

The default DNS on mobile data on Android devices is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4.

https://www.google.com/search?q=android+change+DNS+on+data+p...

"DNS changer" apps often spin up a local VPN to tunnel the traffic through. Folks usually end up rooting their devices to ultimately make this change, or using a VPN.

As well, I believe Chrome can tend to use Google's DNS servers directly in some cases.

At least in some parts of central Europe it is common to buy beverages per decilitre and meat by dekagrams.
Completely agree. Calories in/out is a gross oversimplification. It's not wrong, it's just not particularly relevant.

One thing I thought Taubes did a good job of was illustrating the relationship between calories in and calories out: your body will burn more calories when it has them, and less when it doesn't. You will be hungrier when you burn more calories, and less hungry when you don't. Calories in isn't just a knob you can adjust without consequence, your body is complicated.
What you're proposing is testing two different variables in the same experiment. To dial in nutrition research, it's more traditional to control kcal count and test different nutritional quality, or control quality and vary kcal content.

Besides jQuery there were several competing libraries abstracting the browser inconsistencies: YUI (Y=Yahoo), prototypejs, mootools, dojo. So I'd say multi-handedly.
It isn't about Apps ecosystem, languages barrier, Network, Apple Retail or Services like iTunes and iMessages, or even a cultural relationship with a Apple, all these as people have suggested.

Did Apple had any of that in China when they start?

Name me a developing country, and as IMF put it "Newly industrialized countries", which Apple is in top 5 market shares?

Apart from China, there isn't one. And the answer is simple. They cant afford it. The majority of them cant afford it. The saving before spending culture in most part of the world, compared to the borrowing and spending culture in US.

Then there is the 2nd hand market question, which used to work very well for Apple, but now the trade in price has fallen a lot in terms of percentage compared to 4 - 5 years ago. And it was part of what drove the Chinese adoption.

The Chinese is special in that they have a culture of chasing luxury brands, much more so on a per capita / income basis then any other country on earth. That is why all luxury brand are going in to make money. From my limited knowledge it doesn't seems the Indian has similar crave for luxury brands. They have a more price / performance culture.

In other to change that, they will need some bloggers, media or other type of communication to tell them "why" it is better. The design, the hardware, the software. A lot of these "education" will need to take place now, and once their GDP or personal income rises, there will be an ever increasing amount of customer able to afford and iPhone.
No, it’s not. That kind of atfitude is pervasive and wrong.

Loads of teams are nowhere near Scrum and work basically Kanban. That’s reasonably agile.
Look at where the internet was before google and all the tech that improved because of google. I think many people underestimate how much of the internet, web server hardware moved forward was directly or indirectly because of google. And many if not all the major web based companies that exsist is because of the tech google introduced and open sourced.
>it would have to be true that (they) ... are all simply idiots who are not as smart as you.

True. I was mostly thinking of Proton as a browser based service. Browser cache would cover the same case.

They do have the Bridge now to use it on the desktop.
Really cool. Why did you choose home on the right and end on the left?
I assume jQuery itself will use this modern browser functionality. Making it smaller.
Interesting to get your perspective - when people ask me for advice on a specific diet I view them all as a way to help them eat less calories overall while not requiring quite so much shear will.
