Obviously each person has their own personal standards for what fit means for them. I would say that three hours a week, four max, is enough to do the Starting Strength programme, which will reliably make you a lot stronger than the median person of your sex.

Congratulations on your weight loss. If you’re around 1.83m our physique is very similar. I find intermittent fasting helpful, not eating at all, just drinking water or tea one day a week.

I started off trying to run and just gave myself shin splints over and over and hurting my knees. Squats fixed that for me and after a year of weightlifting I started running in the treadmill, 2k and gradually building up to 10k, all on the treadmill. Then one day I ran a half marathon distance and felt fine, calves a bit sore the next day is all. For me all I needed was to take it very slow increasing distance.

Keep up the sleep apnea treatment. It sounds awful. As for reducing body fat enough to look good on the beach those fork put downs are the hardest. My cursory reading of the medical literature suggests that the recommended BMI is too low for health benefits as measured by longevity. Mildly overweight people live longer than people in the healthy body weight range. But definitely look after your sleep. That’s almost certainly the best health investment you can make with your time.
I just sent this around to my entire (mainly Java) team. I think it might be the best intro to describe the fundamental memory model that I’ve read.

The walk through this basic example, showing interface changes that enforce different aspects of the code, are wonderful. It took me a long time to grok some of these basic concepts, and this explains them so concisely.

I might use this as an intro to Rust for anyone who starting to learn the language. Kudos to the author for expressing these concepts in such elegance.
Any chance we can get inbox “relaunched” instead of shut down? It’s miles better than gmail and my favorite google product by far. That they are killing it is absolutely insane.
The interesting part for me is... ScyllaDB promises something simple, alluring, and hard to believe: Keep your codebase, replace Cassandra with ScyllaDB, get up to 10-times boost in performance. How can this be? In a nutshell, different implementation language (C++ rather than Java)
The basic idea is the same as ReVirt, but there are a lot of different details because rr has to run as a pure user-space Linux application whereas ReVirt was baked into the hypervisor. For rr to run efficiently we have to use Linux APIs in creative ways. https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.05937 has more details.

> On the other hand we have Anna Watson, a medical professional...

No, it is Basil Besh who is the medical professional. Anna Watson is a physician assistant. Basil Besh is a doctor. Part of having your doctor's license is being subject to an oversight board of your peers. As a patient you can complain to this board and if the doctor cannot prove that he has provided adequate care, he can lose his very expensive livelihood.

They key here is that he has to justify himself to his peers, ie doctors who would look at the patient records and his notes and judge whether he provided a standard of care by calling or not calling an ambulance, etc. Randos on the internet speculating about patients they know nothing about is PR, not medicine.

The way you will know whether this story is real or another one of the endless Telsa hate pieces is that this guy will lose his license if it is real.
Yeah cloud and ML numbers are becoming a running joke in financial circles, at this point I'm pretty sure Oracle counts JRE downloads as cloud revenue somehow.

> why don't you put forward a concrete vision of what your definition of free speech is?

Because that is not the correct response to someone who casually describes eight hundred thousand users as "a few jerks". Or someone who smugly dismisses a well-reasoned article by saying the author "beats an ocean with a stick". If you insist on promoting gross misrepresentations of reality, all you will get in response is well-deserved pushback. The ideas and constructive suggestions will flow to people who actually listen.

As someone working in the media business. Please could you at least google the outlet you‘re talking about? You‘re embarrassing yourself with your own ignorance. Reveal is a non-profit. They don‘t care about page views, because they don‘t need advertising to finance themselves. There‘s only one thing an investigative journalism team cares about and that‘s reputation. They are deeply incentivized against publishing half-assed work or missinformation. Please just stop repeating this meme over and over that journalists only care about page views.
I've never heard of that. Typically, the acquired firm hires an investment bank to handle the sale. The VC is already highly incentived to do what they can to help due to their equity holding, for example using their network to make intros to possible acquirers.

LLDB could work with rr, but AFAIK LLDB doesn't support reverse-execution commands so rr's key feature would not be accessible.
I would say most uses of the mac mini are simply as a desktop computer. It's what I use as my primary OSX workstation -- I have an old late 2012 model, upgraded with 16GB and an external SSD that I made the primary -- and it works fantastic. I plan on getting the new model.

Two monitors. Monitors that are exactly what I want.

Why do you need a PC at all? A TV can play movies directly from a NAS.
Powercf is making no such assumption. You, on the other hand, are assuming two things: firstly, that medical science is actually capable of identifying the physical cause of every pain (on the contrary, ideopathic pain is widely recognized as being a problem), and secondly that the medical staff at the facility has every device and diagnostic skill (up to MRIs, apparently) to make such a determination, and would, in fact, take the time to do so before deciding how to transport a patient off the facility.

Of course they’ll concentrate on what helps the side they prefer. And this is an extremely benign way to do it. They’ve made a general tool and then they’re using it preferentially. It’s no different than sending people to knock on doors to ask them to vote and concentrating on neighborhoods that tend to vote your way, and it’s miles better than sending misinformation to neighborhoods that vote the other way, or threatening people by implying that you’ll tell their neighbors if they vote the wrong way. (Both réal examples, by the way.)
I was writing some code in 2018 recently and didn't realise how much NLL really makes a difference. I went to push the a change to a CI and realised I would have to heavily refactor in order to get things working on stable.

Your work is very much appreciated, thank you.
It's not particularly great with the Pi III either. I have one, and I find it's under powered for the "media server" role. Especially, if more than one person connects. I like it for lots of other things, but this isn't one of them.
How to Efficiently Use Storybook in a React Project

I think Slashdot had a superior moderation system to HN, but it lacked an iron hand that led it to local equilibrium that was different from different visions and use-cases of the site by different users.

HN has a clear vision and set of rules, Slashdot didn't. News for nerds, Stuff that matters.

Slashdot did have a moderation system where, if you were over a certain number of points (like HN) (and later hidden on /.) you could moderate. Moderation was a bit more complex sometimes leading to fun results with comments '+5 Offtopic' and '-1 Insightful'. There was playfulness. There was also meta-moderation where consensus was sought for previous moderation decisions. I don't think an learning 3rd stage algorithm would have helped, going back to the above: there wasn't a clear set of principles and very strong enforcement of that either by community of mods. And there was a very strong trolling community that were happy to live at -1, some of whom were Anonymous Cowards but have in some cases come to light as smart leading figures in their technologies.

Cmdrtaco and crew were ridiculed (sometimes very unfairly) but didn't react consistently. I don't think Dang and co wouldn't be bullied by a community site they shepherd.

tl;dr There was a special time in the internet, and some parts of the internet have learnt from this. And before this, there was another special time. And before that another. And we will look back too.
I’ve read similar studies about the pay gap that states the gender pay gap gets smaller but most notably doesnt disappear except in extremely small examples like you stated. Could you link me to studies that says they disappear entirely or become meaninglessly small?

“Roughly speaking it's something like "if the pay and requirements are equivalent, which is a more preferable job" often lands on female dominated fields.”
Could you explain what you mean by a preferable job? Because I think an office administrative job probably sucks a ton of dick. Education also broadly sucks as a career, especially given the political climate. Healthcare support super duper sucks, but the only healthcare support I know about is those assistants for the elderly which involves a lot of really unpleasant work, or nursing which is also really unpleasant and involves stuff like cleaning up vomit and shit.

Technically not. You can boot from an external thunderbolt SSD, which is capable of the same speeds as an internal drive. It’s mildly ugly, but not a showstopper.

But I thought that modern SSDs were supposed to last decades, even under heavy use. Is this actually a real problem?
Side discussion: What are everyone's thoughts when it comes to external HiDPI monitor options to use with this Mac Mini?

Ideally I'd want 5K displays (I'm used to the iMac 5K) but it seems that LG's UltraFine is the only real option and the rest of the industry has settled on 4K/UHD at 27 inches, which results in a) limited screen real estate due to an effective resolution of 1080p at 2x scaling and b) slightly less pixel density.

I maybe fine with b) but both issues considered I'm seriously wondering why UHD displays at 27" are so popular - it seems like a subpar and regretful combination. Are my worries unwarranted?
That raises an interesting point that was not covered in the plot of Threads - the strategy behind the nuclear exchange and how it played out globally.

You're certainly right, that at one stage the plans the Soviet Union had for the UK resembled what the UK did to Heligoland.

In the film, if the West had initiated the exchange with a surprise counter-force first strike, they could have potentially disabled a significant proportion of the Soviet Union's strike ability. If this were the case, one of the morals of the film would have been that even if the majority of enemy warheads are destroyed, they'll still have enough to destroy you.

Another scenario is that the Soviet Union went first with a limited strike, and the West retaliated destroying any further offensive capability.

There are also scenarios where counter measures worked, devices were a lot less reliable than expected and so on.

Thankfully none of this was ever played out, but there is a whole spectrum between nothing and everything (and the politics - MAD, et al) to go with it.

It's conservative to let people keep what they earn. It's progressive to take from people (tax) and give to Amazon in the form of subsidies.
No and that’s the issue. Works great for your local / NAS media. Lots of plugins for all sorts of things, except, Netflix, Amazon, XM. I still use the TV apps for that.
rr has an "extended technical report" at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.05937.pdf which explains the principles it uses. In general they are inherently rather complicated -- in order to get to anything resembling useful speed of execution, you need to play clever tricks of one kind or another to avoid having to record absolutely everything about the process under debug.
I don't know about the US, but here in the UK voters turn up and discover that someone has voted "on their behalf" merely by accident - the poll staff aren't perfect and sometimes simply mark off the wrong person's name as having voted. This is common enough that, as far as I'm aware, it doesn't lead to any kind of serious investigation. (Apparently, there was even one UK council election in Barnes, Richmond-upon-Thames back in 1976 where an ineligible couple voted, were marked off as being a similarly-named couple who later turned up to vote, and correcting this actually changed the result. This correction was only possible because unlike in the US we don't have a fully secret ballot - every ballot paper is serialized and traceable to the person who cast it. I don't think anyone was charged with anything over this. Probably wouldn't even have been investigated if the affected voter didn't see the close result and kick up a fuss.)
It's because the previous implementation didn't track enough information to properly cover some edge cases of the theoretical model. Extending the old implementation to track such information would have been congruent to implementing the new borrow checker, with all the additional overhead that implies (or even more, considering that the new implementation has been designed with this in mind from the ground up).

Apple is moving "upmarket." It will be interesting to see if their fans' intense loyalty towards the company's products will win over this classic "innovator's dilemma" mistake that Apple is making.

I for one thought Apple was going down a wrong path the moment they started implying they wanted to make super-expensive (compared to their costs and features) "fashion" products instead of continuing to make "premium tech products", which I define as tech products using high-quality materials (and as such more expensive by default than the average product) that may or may not have "healthy margins", too (as opposed to the "outrageous margins" that most luxury/fashion products have).
The internet aspired to be a library, but even libraries are curated. I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to say whatever they want to say, but a private company has the right to refuse service to customers who intentionally won't or are unable to meet their terms of service. This has applied to all sorts of things in the past and still does, e.g. filesharing, pornography and music streaming sites.

Also, let's not kid ourselves that the stand that Epik has taken has anything to do with free speech. It's good for their business, just like it's good business for news agencies to have a view point and not remain neutral. People who run torrent and porn sites and companies who host them have used this argument for ages.
I've heard that people start dreaming (hallucinating) while running. "Just ignore the leprechauns, keep running..."
rr has a similar feature set to UndoDB. rr is probably a bit more efficient during recording. However, UndoDB doesn't depend on the performance counters the way rr does, so it works in situations where those counters are unavailable (e.g. some VM guests). Also UndoDB works on ARM, but due to the way ARM implements atomics (see above) rr's approach can't work on ARM. (Until/unless we get ARM to add support for trapping on failed LL/SC.)
A decent number of people vote in the opposing party’s primaries, either because the general election is a foregone conclusion and it’s the only way they’ll have any real input, or to vote for the worst candidate in order to give their own party a better chance.

I think that requiring people to declare an affiliation ahead of time is bad. And making it completely secret might be a decent goal. But recording which primary you voted in seems fine too.
That's a nice way of introducing type state programming in an affine programming language!

In general though, type state programming would be even nicer in a linear language. For example, in the http server I could start writing a response without ever writing a body. Rust would happily accept this code, because Rust is always allowed to throw away resources.

An affine language controls the duplication of resources, while a linear language controls both duplication and destruction of resources. In a linear Rust, a data structure would have to implement Drop in order to be silently deleted and in the http server "HttpResponseWritingHeaders" should not implement Drop.

I see a clear pattern here, and it is the loss of once common coming-of-age ritual.

You might add other modern suggestions in that spirit:

Etc. Basically dogfooding as gatekeeping.
Itanium had a great potential as the next-gen CPU arch. Now we're stuck with the heavily emulated x86.
It's better than 1080p as it is much sharper and crisper, but 1080p at 27 inches results in rather large UI elements. An effective resolution of 2560x1440px (as seen in any iMac 27) seems like the proper resolution for a display of that size.

I agree in principle, and making an ID easier to get makes sense.

However, in my state (Georgia), they're being strict about photo ID and name matching, yet have ignored for years serious security problems with the electronic voting machines which leave no paper trail.

This makes it easy to believe that the ID requirement is about something other than securing the election from tampering.

IMHO the plugins per-se are one of VSCode's strengths, you can find plenty of high-quality ones, and the APIs are good enough that making your own is overall a pleasant experience. What sucks is the Marketplace [1]: 1. searching is basically broken 2. the downloads count, and therefor the ranking system, is skewed towards extensions publishing lots of updates.

The basic idea is that since CPUs are deterministic, if you report and replay all inputs to a process you don't have to record what goes on inside the process such as registers and memory.

1. ExxonMobil was established in Houston many decades ago, back when it was a crucial area for an oil company. It's not going to relocate a huge campus even if it did calculate that it can help recruitment somewhat.

Amazon on the other hand is opening a new campus, so they are more flexible to locate it in the most advantageous area.

Moreover, not sure how many petroleum engineers Exxon is hiring, but guessing it's far fewer than the amount of software engineers Amazon is looking to hire, which is in the tens of thousands.

Recruitment is a much bigger factor for Amazon. The article says basically the entire reason for opening not one but two new big offices is to tap into more talent.
