This happened to me with Archery and it took over a year to get over. Horrible. For me I think it was caused by hurting myself with the bowstring pretty badly on a botched shot and my mind would just freeze up anticipating that pain... I think. Weird stuff.
Build your layout with keyboard-layout-editor, paste the raw data into builder.swillkb.com, order plates from Lasergist or export files for a different service, buy switches of your choice (I recommend Kailh Box switches), hand wire them up to a Teensy or Pro Micro, set up QMK for your matrix and layout, and program it.

It is, in fact, though that's not where the name comes from. (The verb for the actions a mill performs is also “mill”.)

Yes, but it violates the original claim that rules of the macroscopic world don't apply in this realm. de Broglie-Bohm is a classical theory with a extra term to account for quantum behaviour.

The field theory covering "quantum noise", the existence of virtual particles, and the vacuum is also completely different.
It may be come down to behavioral changes while traveling. If your observation is true, maybe men tend to drink less alcohol while traveling, and women tend to eat more.

> There’s no such thing as a bug free application

This is a stretch. Seems like many people think of code as a living thing that just does what it wants, and us programmers have to beat it into submission.

The truth is, there can be bug free applications.

The problem I think is the complete opposite of the point of the article. Programmers need time to write good software. Without stopping to fix the things we run into, technical debt does what it's known for, and exponentially increases, and kills time that could be spent writing features.

So maybe software is like a living being in a way, that it needs to be cared for gently.
I'm not exactly sure where that is in the copy but it is referring to emails between ProtonMail users, not unencrypted mails from outside. It should probably be clarified, but it's tough to tell without context.

Now, in current versions of Firefox, I believe it is enabled by default (starting with FF59?).
Yes, the intent to remove the shadowban applied by an automated troll-control system to prominent Republicans because their posts engaged in troll-like behavior (and not to Democrats because they did not engage in the behavior that the system was aimed at) behavior favors Republicans.

And, specifically, trolling Republicans.

You'd think Republican sympathizers would get that, since they are the ones who spend so much time arguing (usually against a strawman in the specific context they argue against it) that seeking equality of outcome across a status differential rather than status-blind equal treatment by merit/behavior is status-based favoritism.
That is a great question.

I think it's largely been overlooked by the incumbents (Zuora, Aria, Recurly) because of the complexities of the App Store and the relatively small market compared to credit cards. But the market is growing and more companies are going multi-channel, selling on multiple platforms.

Zuora has a really smug post about it that motivates me a lot to eat their lunch. https://www.zuora.com/2015/07/08/dont-give-apple-money-mobil...

I also think it's so early, people are just starting to define the problem and develop the standard techniques. 3 years ago, Apple was much more restrictive about what apps could use subscriptions, now it's basically open season. For non-game apps, this has turned monetization on its head.

So long story short, I'm not sure. Which is why I'm excited to be the first to build something that I think is obviously needed. We will be able to define the category which is exciting (and a little scary.)

Like most adages and slogans it's the core idea that matters, not to take it so literally as to ignore fraud or allow payment in string. The idea being the business should try and meet the customer's needs.

Businesses do want to insert middlemen where they can externalise something else. Either to move another cost or process to the customer or to reduce staff. We've seen the near abolition of customer service by adopting customer service departments that move the activity onto dedicated, and lowly paid staff or outsourced entirely.

For most of the fifty years since Visa started businesses have been expected to take credit cards, even though they cost more to process for all that time. In the UK business could not charge extra for taking cards. The second cash costs more it's OK to abandon it and go Visa/MC only?

Yes, it seems they do want to insert middlemen. Visa of course are encouraging this.

> And it's not calories in, calories out.

Based upon your last statement, I assume you're on keto for weight loss, if so how has weight loss been, how many calories are you eating now vs before, and how stringent was your measurement?
Is there a chance that we are over thinking this in the hope for a complex golden bullet when in reality the problem is simply eating more calories that we burn.

I lead a very active lifestyle, I lift weights 4-5 times a week with a focus on progressive overload, I cycle commute and I mountain bike many weekends a year. When I want to gain weight (as is desirable when lifting) I eat more calories (aim for about 3,750 a day) and when I want to loose weight (like in the spring ready for the summer) I eat a lot less, around 2,500 a day. Doing this fluctuates my weight from my heaviest of 190 lbs to my lightest of 170 lbs.

My wife does the same, our other friends who lift also do the same and when we eat more we get heavier and when we eat less we get lighter.

What am I missing here? Because outside the body building world it seems everyone is hunting for a complex answer that from our perspective seems sort of solved.... unless you want to get silly lean, then it’s a different ball game.

I’m not being flippant, I am genuinely curious. Eat less calories, mainly plants, do more exercise and reduce alcohol consumption (it’s got lots of calories in it).

Not sure about that. The local HBM is pretty cool and these parts are priced in the 3K range. With the added benefit of virtualization in the newest generation, they can be used as a general purpose machine. A 22-core POWER9 costs about 2500, but doesn't come with 16GB of HBM in the package. You get 88 faster threads against 288 slower ones.

I'd love to be able to justify a POWER workstation for me, but the implicit guarantees of a x86-compatible machine is too important to ignore (for my workloads).
I am very interested in scolding my vacuum in front of my dog tonight to see if he eventually gets used to it.
There are plenty of legitimate reasons for a business to not want to take cash (employee time in cash handling likely adds at least 5% in payroll overhead, theft can also be an issue in retail at least).

You may want to pay in bitcoin, nickels, or with bushels of corn, but that doesn't mean any of them are practical or desirable for the business owner on the other end.

My last job was in a power plant and we had weekly safety meetings that covered everything from IT to First Aid and everything in between. I'm scared to death of being on ladders ever since they covered people falling and wrecking themselves on ladders. The first aid stuff more or less helped too, though I've not had to use it.

I think everything that stuck (actually made a difference) only stuck because of repetition. We had meetings once a week and eventually came back around to the same topics.

It might work for people who mean well but generally don't realize that their behavior is not acceptable. I knew an Eastern European gentleman who constantly complimented women on their appearances, whether or not they were conventionally attractive ("No, no, you are not fat! You are strong!"), which makes me think he meant well, but it still came off as creepy and weird.

Of course that guy kept losing jobs for it. :-/ I don't know if he ever really learned. So I dunno.
From my personal experience, the vast majority of bugs happen due to an astounding failure on the part of developers to consider even the most basic edge conditions. Also, terrible contract documentation...

> I don't want to spread FUD but why would ANYONE in their right mind give their DNA to a company in Silicon Valley that is explicitely using Google as a model for Data privacy ?

My father has Parkinson's and provided his DNA to 23AndMe using one of their free kits [1]. Companies like this represent a chance of finding a cure. There are certainly concerns with companies accumulating large amounts of genetic data, but huge data sets are required for deep learning and other AI methodologies. Sharing one's genetic data, and allowing other companies to form partnerships to gain access to that data, will likely represent a key step in identifying the cause (and hopefully potential cures) for such diseases.

Judging by your incendiary comment history on your throwaway account, why should I believe your question is in good faith?
Note that the following are just my impressions from reading though the spec about a year ago. I did not do any deeper investigation beyond that and might misremember some details.

* IMO they were a bit too generous with using up 32-bit instruction encodings, only 3 of 28 major opcodes (blocks of instructions) are still reserved, though there is still some space for individual instructions within several of the used blocks. Using 4 major opcodes for 4 different sign variants of fused multiply-add seems particularly wasteful. (Of course there is still plenty of space in 48-bit and longer instruction spaces)

* Integer overflow handling code is quite verbose and might also result in lowered performance (at least in simple implementations). I'm unhappy that many languages choose silent wrapping over trapping on overflow out of performance concerns (e.g. Rust and C#), so efficient overflow checking is quite important to me. (Efficient overflow checking is also useful for seamlessly switching to big integers on overflow, which is my preferred approach for high level programming languages)

* Their approach to atomics is elegant but also unconventional. This might make porting existing code difficult. In particular the lack of double wide compare-and-swap looks like a pain point.

* Their approach to SIMD/vector instructions only seems a like a good approach for floating point arithmetic, but might struggle with common integer tasks. For example I'm not sure how shuffles fit into their variable length vector model.

* I don't like their choice of sign extending unsigned integers in the ABI.
That is an old, and likely inaccurate estimate at the time if I remember correctly.

I'm sorry but this nationalist rhetoric makes no sense. Are the immigrants being trained and leaving, or are they staying and driving down wages so low that Americans don't want the jobs? If the later, then why not keep bringing in immigrants to do the jobs that Americans turn their noses up at? If they're coming over here, filling our grad schools and taking our jobs in our high wage nation, aren't they now high wage earners? Even your "letting the market work as it's designed" plan doesn't make sense. So if there's no one to do the jobs, you think that American companies are just going to tough it out for a decade, raising wages even higher, until a new crop of people get trained up, and then depress market again? Isn't that horrible because the wages are being depressed? Why would a company do this? Why wouldn't they just leave, thus depressing the economy even more?

Immigrants stay when you encourage them to stay. Not only do they get jobs contributing to the American economy, but they also have kids here.

None of this makes sense through any sort of economic lens.
It does make sense, if all you care about is if people from different places, with different languages, different customs, and different looks aren't getting ahead in your society. There's a word for that. In fact, there are several of words for that, but I'll go with the simple one. It's racist. And just, so we're both clear, I'm calling you a racist.
I noticed that I definitely lose weight when I am traveling and on vacation and I almost certainly eat and drink more. I'm pretty convinced it's because the regular office working lifestyle is really so sedentary in comparison. We're just used to it so we don't notice the stark difference.
I'm a bit shocked someone needs to ask for this in 2018. All those Flash things must have been empty rectangles for the last decade or so.

Reverse ATM would be a cool startup, especially if you could make online payments or acquire cryptocurrencies in addition to getting prepaid cards.

After a quick search, it looks like someone in Portland tried to do something along these lines: https://www.atmmarketplace.com/news/reverse-atm-caters-to-po...

It doesn’t look like it went anywhere, online info on the company is scant apart from a few press releases.

Basically you’re just talking about offering a physical cash-friendly terminal to the digital economy. Maybe someone should try that angle. Counterfeit and money laundering will be huge issues. It’s hard to anonymously launder money at scale with storebought prepaid cards, because of the humans in the sales loop (which also allow non-money-laundering transactions to happen anonymously). A workable compromise might be to require a SSN/PIN combo at the reverse ATM.

As for counterfeit: sophisticated scanners? I think many banks allow you to deposit cash or checks at their larger, bank-branded ATMs. Perhaps that technology is available. You’ll probably just end up buying “counterfeit insurance” and then try to get whatever tech will drive your premiums down.
This is the beginning of an (incomplete as of now) series on doing so, and should be a good starting point: https://matt3o.com/book/
Kind of annoying how they mention the journal article and then don't link to it. Here is the actual research (paywalled): http://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6380/1146.full
I'm not an expert by any means, but one thing that's worth acknowledging here is that diseases like diabetes are a question of when, not if, with 100% of the population.

That is, if nothing else kills you first, you will get diabetes. At least, is the impression I've been led to believe from research and multiple physicians. If that's the case, then one must ask, "What's the most effective way of avoiding this?", and avoiding carbohydrates as much as possible sums that up well. It seems to completely drop the growth of diabetic symptoms to near-nonexistence, which seems to suggest that it might be superior for that range of diseases at least.
This isn’t a magic bullet. When you eat carbs, your body produces the hormone insulin in order to convert blood glucose into usable energy. Excessive insulin production triggers the body to store energy as fat. If you drastically reduce your carb intake, your body will enter a state of ketosis where fat will be burned as energy. Barring some rare medical or genetic issue, this WILL cause you to lose weight. It’s a scientific fact. Just take a look at type 1 diabetics prior to diagnosis. They’re skinny and frail due to being unable to produce insulin.
You are extremely active over 3500 calories a day is the region for professional athletes you exercise daily with a lengthy mix of both endurance and strength training so what exactly do you expect to be other than extremely fit?
2500 kcal for most people would be at or even above their daily limit for you it’s starvation so here you got a pat on the back for being awesome but you are not the norm.
It's fashionable to regard de jure and de facto outcomes identically, but I don't find such arguments compelling. It's a distinction that matters.

Further, I'm in the minority on a whole bunch of topics, but that's not evidence that a harm or an injury has taken place.
I like this image, although when I think about deserts I think about the Mojave desert and the people who died crossing it to get to the gold that was in the Sierra's. Or the oceans people crossed to get to the Americas. While there is 'hospitable' there is 'hard to survive' and I think surviving a journey across the ocean with 16th century tech might have some parallels.

I get the mindset of staying at home around the known campfire and the known wildlife and the known hazards. But I observe that it has never been a winning strategy for humans.

As a keto practitioner, the obvious recommendation I'd add for further research is to distinguish between "low-carb" and "<20 grams of carb per day". For achieving ketosis, "low carb" is a completely orthogonal diet.

I'm a little sad that he didn't discover this distinction early on in his findings, since the rest of this is very interesting and well-researched (just irrelevant to the keto question in particular).

I'd also add that exercise is another important high-level distinction to make that confounds the rest of the discussion, particularly the analysis of paleo / ancestral diets, which presumably had very high levels of exercise compared to modern sedentarians.
>for example, I did not try to evaluate arguments about “good carbs” vs. “bad carbs.”

That turned me off real fast.

>Perhaps particular types of carbs, fats, or proteins — e.g. refined carbohydrates, or sugars, or something else — are reliably linked to obesity. But I haven’t investigated any of those hypotheses yet.

That's much better, but implies the rest of the article doesn't address it. "Carbs" can mean broccoli or pure sugar. The difference between broccoli and sugar is "Complex Carbs" vs "Simple Carbs". Simple carbs come from things like sugar, they break down really fast and the foods that contain them tend to be very "Calorically Dense", or have a shitload of calories by volume.

EG a small blizzard from diary queen has 660 calories(1). That's the same as 4.3lbs of broccoli (2)

You can polish off a small blizzard after a meal. You cannot eat four pounds of broccoli in one sitting. 660 Calories is also a respectable size for a meal, given the generic daily recommendation of 2000 calories. Though again the blizzard's calories are being added onto a meal.

Carbs are not bad. Any kind of diet with a "silver bullet" to eat or avoid is overly simplistic and probably just preying on the hopeful.

Understanding what macronutrients are and where they come from and what they do, and eating a fairly restrictive diet is a solid and sustained way to lose weight.

For what it's worth, I don't think carbohydrates cause obesity. I think widely available overly sugary garbage food does. I don't know where you live but you'd be hard pressed to find a plate of steamed vegetables and grilled chicken downtown. You can get fast food though.
