> What i'm saying is, everyone has a resting metabolic rate. That rate is relatively stable among the entire human population.

You are probably confusing BMR and RMR; Basal Metabolic Rate is a reasonably constant function of age, weight, body composition, and gender for healthy, non-pregnant adults.

RMR varies considerably even for an individual based on a wide range of factors, including emotional state.

> Most Americans think if they are fat that their resting metabolic rate must be 1500 calories different from most skinny people.

And they are quite possibly right; fitness lowers RMR with the same BMR, and a 300 lb 6’0” man has a ~900 kcal higher BMR than a 150 lb man of the same height under te adultos used in simple BMR calculators. And there are a number of other ways that being overweight contributes to or is correlated with factors than contribute to different RMR (and in some cases BMR).
That trend suggests that previous efforts are either not discoverable or not sufficiently extensible.

Yes, I remember when it was such a big deal that we could finally use dynamic libraries on Amiga OS, MS-DOS protected mode and Windows 3.x.

Even GNU/Linux made such a big deal of moving from a.out to ELF binary format, due to easier support for dynamic linking, which quite cumbersome with a.out.

Now almost 30 years later it is a big deal to support static linking, go figure.
Yes - my reaction is that Micro Snitch is great in the absence of a kernel feature, but this sort of thing is best handled at the kernel and hardware levels.
And, ultimately, it's not rawgit's job to maintain a website. If you use a free service as part of your deployment it's your job to keep an eye on it in case it shuts down.

The world of “renting” families
It's not really processing power so much as storage and RAM that used to be seen as the disadvantages of static binaries. The advantages of the static binary model are that it avoids "DLL hell" and makes sourcing dependencies a bit better, which are indeed laudable aims.

But nowadays it has terrible security (and to some extent reliability) trade-offs - if everything is a static binary and there's a security issue in a library, you need to upgrade every single binary depending on it, which is much less reliable and more prone to error/oversight.

As security and reliability have increased in importance, so the "cost" of the static binary route has actually gone up significantly in my view compared to 20-30 years ago. So it's a bit odd to me to see this model (and closely related ideas like flatpak etc) gaining currency. There must be better ways to manage the "DLL hell" issues than that.
I think you should substantiate what you said. Preferrably by the link to the relevant service / or source that would do that.

OTA installation is opt-in at this point, just like on Apple phones. It does download automatically if you have option set... just like on Apple phones.
Your link cites "little thought to the inclusion of dependencies", _not_ static linkage, as the cause of this "hell".

The title "Competition is hotting up" should really be "Competition is heating up", right? Is there some play on words here that I don't understand? Using the word "heating" is both grammatically correct and works with the word play. Does the economist lack editing staff?
You are very fortunate. I often flew trans-Atlantic for a former company and their travel secretary was under instructions to find the absolute cheapest fare without consideration. So I occasionally ended-up with weird connections in Manchester or Newark instead of a non-stop from Dublin.

The first two seem distasteful, but I fail to see how the dignity field proposal falls in the same vein. You are both criticizing inaction (just get them out of here and I don't care what happens to them) and action (let's get them in one area, offer them shelter, and provide services). This seems to me like speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

Everybody babels anyway, so fussing about compiling[1] typescript is asinine.

[1] transpile is also a stupid word. It's a compiler, at least as much as javac is, or ghc when it used to spit out C code that then went through gcc.
There's a lot of approaches that might work; using something other than a list
for your collection is just one (although it is often appropriate).

If you just want option types that you can use with lists, the most direct way
to do that is by encoding None as NIL and Some x as (list x), which still lets
"no value" be false, makes "some value" true even for the empty list, and
pairs nicely with pattern matching libraries like Optima (which people
yearning for option types might also be interested in):

(match maybe-value
((list value) value)
(nil 'not-found))

That seems cleaner to me, too: if you want to use the empty list for "no
value", then why wouldn't you use a list containing the value you want for
"some value"? This also scales to more than 1 optional value, and doesn't
require any special casing for lists, if you're thinking of them as values
like any other; the NIL thing doesn't even come into it. Maybe this sort of
confusion comes from how null works in languages like Java?

It might also make sense to represent the absence of a value by just not
assigning a value. For example, CLOS instances won't bind their slots to
anything by default, so trying to read them will signal UNBOUND-SLOT. You can
check if it's bound beforehand with SLOT-BOUNDP, and CLOS does differentiate
between a slot not being bound and a slot not existing at all. If you're
working on something interactively and UNBOUND-SLOT gets signalled, by default
execution will pause, and Lisp will offer strategies for resolving the issue,
like entering in a value to use instead for just this call, entering in a
value to store in the slot for later use, just aborting the computation, etc.
That's a pretty nice experience (and just the tip of the iceberg) that people
coming from more static languages might not even think about.

If you're returning a value to someone, maybe it would be best to work like
GETHASH does and return two return values, the first either a value pulled
from the table or a default, and the second a boolean indicating whether the
key was present or whether you got the default. Because Lisp has multiple
return values (not like Python or Ruby where you're really just returning a
sequence and then destructuring it), callers that are fine with the default
and don't care if it was actually present can just use the primary return
value, and since the default is provided when you call GETHASH, you can also
do nice things like (incf (gethash key hash 0)).

There's other ways too, of course, but it's impossible to say what would be
the most appropriate solution without knowing more about the problem. (eq nil
'()) returning T is not a bug, so the issue must be higher up the call stack.
If that seems like a dealbreaker to someone, they're probably just looking at
it in isolation and not thinking in terms of Lisp as a whole.

And like, I know plenty of people in the US living decently well on $1,000 a month post tax. Most college towns will have bedrooms for like $350-550 a month.

The rest could be spent on food and health insurance if one chooses
Berea is great - both the college itself, and the community around it.

There's a local community high school with ties to the college; students there who are keen can attend classes at the college, for both high school and college credit. It seems like a great way for kids to "test drive" college in general, and more smoothly transition to independence.

I am just about halfway through an MBA program at an Australian University. On average most of my essay assignments are 2000 words +-10%. I was writing 2000 word essays in high school 20 years ago, this is not what I expected at all.

Having said that I didn't do an undergraduate degree, and really want that piece of paper so I can open some new doors.

So many of the other students in my group work shouldn't be passing high school classes let along a postgraduate degree from a "world class" university.

One thing I want to make clear is this is not xenophobia, I speak (a little) Mandarin, Korean & Japanese. I love working in multicultural teams. I don't care where you are from or how hard it is to speak English any more than people in China, Korea & Japan care how badly I mangle their languages. I care if you don't try, don't practice and play the racism card when a lecturer fails you because you clearly don't understand the premise of the subject.

Since H4 is not tied to a job, it's just a bit weird to me that you can have any long term prospects on it. But fair play.

What do you mean prohibited from regulation?

The reason why we know these supplements have unapproved pharmaceuticals in them is because regulations say: 1) you can't, 2) the FDA has the power to test them, 3) the FDA has the power to force a recall.

The FDA is prohibited from banning supplements that have been in use prior to 1996 (or so). They are also allowed to restrict what can be said about the supplements (they can't make unsupported medical claims).

I don't know about you, but unless a supplement is actually dangerous, I think it's good the FDA can't come in and tell adults what they can and can't put in their own bodies.

I've lived in the area for twenty five plus years and have known local social workers and city employees. I also have friends who are effectively homeless (living in RV's) having grown up in silicon valley and been evicted from family rental homes and can't afford massively increased rents.

There's a huge number of people who wind up in San Francisco for all sorts of reasons and the civic reputation for being less harsh on homeless plus relatively mild weather makes it a place people wind up staying in. There's always been flop houses in the tenderloin and people on the streets but the disparity between the wealthy and the poor is very striking now.

The opioid crisis is a big thing in SF but the levers are unaffordable rents, no care for the insane (who often self medicate with street drugs), an attractive place with lots of dumpster diving lifestyles behind classy restaurants and a general romanticism that dates back to the beats and hippies.

There are huge numbers of people living in their cars and couch surfing who are less visible than the unwashed zombie insane that you see at most downtown intersections and passed out on sidewalks but this is in essence a have and have not crisis

Incremental brownouts only work well if there is mechanisms to ensure that your service's users realize that the brownout is a deprecation warning.

By default, pip doesn't show the contents of HTTP error messages [1], so users affected by the brownout would have to take extra steps (using `-v`, visiting the PyPI status page) in order to figure out what was wrong. I think it could easily appear as a networking issue or some other sort of intermittent problem.

Facebook Reveals How Recent Hack Exposed Sensitive User Details, Search History
I was just answering the question of why it is misleading to group them together.

The frameworks are radically different and the install base is likely very different as well. If AngularJS (v1) was growing in popularity it wouldn’t really tell you anything about Angular (v2+), in the same way that the fact that Ember seeing a slow and steady growth doesn’t tell you anything about Angular (v2+). They’re different frameworks with dramatically different conventions and install bases. If AngularJS AND Angular were both losing popularity, it would still be misleading to group them together as “Angular.” They’re just not the same thing.

Choosing to name the newer framework was, in retrospect, an extremely poor choice, especially since it alienated all AngularJS users since there was no good migration path at the time and everything was so different; it might have made some sort of marketing sense in the pre-React/Vue world that Angular (v2+) began its life in.

It was interesting to see the breakdown of country of origin for students at my alma mater. The undergrad program was by and large Americans, the masters program mostly students from China and India, while the PhD program was roughly 50/50 students from China and the US. Sorting by price, the masters degree was by far the most expensive, undergrad was fairly pricey but with tons of financial aid available, while the Ph.D. students were all paid a stipend of 30K a year. At ~50K a year in tuition for the masters program, the CS department was making bank by inflating the size of masters cohort. Seemed kind of unfair to the masters students, from my perspective.
Bingo. Instead of 1 in 20 becoming a huge success (100x) and the other 19 fail, maybe for us it's 10 in 20 are "base hits" that return 2-5x and the other 10 fail.

Those are contrived numbers for this example, but you get the idea. I expect more of them to be singles/doubles, fewer to fail than the typical VC bets, but we'll have no home runs.

I am in the process of writing a step-by-step elementary algebra equation solver that solves these problems like a human does. One thing I have learned from this experience is a good way for a person to discover how much they don't know about even the simpler parts of mathematics is to try teaching them to a computer.
