There's actually a lot of people who want actual, experimental data to back a language's claims about safety. A subset of them use C and C++. I occasionally argue with them about safety benefits of other languages. They demand more proof than the design, esp field data. I do keep stuff like this as experimental evidence that will add up for such empiricists over time. Although, I prefer controlled experiments where you teach amateurs C, modern C++, and Rust over a specific time followed by testing (esp fuzzing) of their code to test the safety claims. Run it in a dozen different places to see if results are consistent.

There's also folks that just study these things to identify patterns in problems created, prevented, or detected (at what effectiveness) in various languages and techniques in software development. Along similar vein, each bug report also provides (in theory) a test case for automated tools that detect bugs. It's very important to have a huge, diverse pile of code to test those tools with. That's because each one's algorithms might have blind spots missing bugs. The more code and bugs we have, the better we can assess those algorithms' accuracy. And then build better algorithms. :)

It is measurable in that you can show it and somehow "count" it. Compare with a day if you just discussed back and forth what you should do or how to do it. If there is nothing concrete to show for it, it is not measurable. At least take notes in that case.

> Considering the modern diets of strength athletes, we should expect that gladiators had a high protein diet.

Why should we expect that? Gladiators were slaves. I would expect slave owners to feed their slaves as cheaply as possible. What evidence is there that they even considered diet to be a factor in athletic performance and that they would try to maximize nutrition if they did?
So you have not asked your daughter to avoid falsely accusing others.
Why?
Does the law say, "false accusations are acceptable if the false accuser is in not in a position of power"?

In my experience, the "position of power" reply is a canned response that is being used to deflect a question. It is in my experience never accompanied by a substantial understanding of what power actually means, and of an awareness of the long tradition of difficulties of defining the concept of power.

In order to help you get away from this naive position, let me invite you to consider reflecting on the fact that the ability falsely to accuse others of heinous crimes and get away with it might be a power in itself. (Cf how the Khashoggi murderes are likely to get away with it -- would you or I get away with murder?)
Oh, wow, that's good to hear. Maybe they've improved a lot in the past two years.
Quite right — thanks for the clarification / reminder! If I recall the Flyer came out a little after all of those render farm cards for lightwave that I used to see ads for in the various Newtek / Amiga magazines.
Ok, the author has to decide. Is this a product of progressivism (he admits that the city has been left leaning for decades, a symbol of globalism) or is it a product of late capitalism? Progressivism is at odds with Capitalism, you can't have both, except if he means the Chinese version of 'Capitalism'.

From your wikipedia link on the Columbia case. "Three other complaints have been alleged against Nungesser: a second woman accused him of emotional abuse and nonconsensual sex during a months-long relationship, a third student accused him of non-consensually kissing her and touching her at a party, and a fourth accuser emerged in early 2015, a fourth-year male student who said Nungesser sexually assaulted him after an emotional conversation." Oh yeah, this guy sounds like a real peach whose life was turned upside down by a false accusation.

Also people here really seem to be assuming any case where someone is found not guilty means the accusation was false, which is not how it works. Just ask OJ Simpson.
> A most prominent example are radical feminists like Dworkin who essentially say that all heterosexual intercourse is rape.

That's a stupid argument. Can we please not equivocate exceptionally dumb arguments with serious ones?

(Also, while we basically live in a post-satire society, I still like to call Poe's Law on exceptionally dumb arguments.)
> Colleges, businesses, and online communities almost always simply believe the victim, and even if a trial should occur and the accused is vindicated, the accused has already been fired, expelled, or crucified by public opinion.

Colleges don't almost always simply believe the victim. It's quite the opposite: “Alarmingly, many universities are compounding this trauma by failing to support survivors and, in some cases, actively seeking to silence them.” [1]

Businesses don't almost always simply believe the victim. In fact, "often employees fear that human resources will help the company lash out at the accuser rather than punish the accused." [2]

Online communities don't almost always simply believe the victim. Take Twitter for example and how a chunk of that online community turned against Christine Blasey Ford. [3]

In the last case involving the accuser and the accused, the accuser had to move several times, hired her own private security detail, and continued to receive death threats [4], all the while the accused got the promotion of a lifetime. Hardly the case of — as you put it — "the accused is vindicated, the accused has already been fired, expelled, or crucified by public opinion."

I know that what you said is personal opinion, but as far as the data supporting that opinion, I just didn't find it.

> Beyond that, it's 0.8-1.2g of protein are recommended MINIMUM daily intake to avoid diseases originating from protein deficiencies.

Eating below the minimum RDA of 0.8 g/kg is unlikely to cause diseases of protein deficiency. The RDA minimum is fairly generous to allow for a certain margin of error. Most of the studies cited by https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK234922/ indicate that 0.6 g/kg is likely a sufficient reference, and that a recommendation of 0.75 g/kg allows for enough confidence to cover individual variation. There was one study cited which found a 0.8 g/kg minimum, but most of the rest found that lower values should be sufficient; it sounds like 0.8 was picked just to be on the safe side.

> At 220# that means 80-120g protein as a minimum. That's a fair amount, and far more than you're likely to get from vegetarian sources at the time alone.

I doubt that most Roman soldiers were 220#. The minimum height requirement was 5'5", and estimates are that the average height was 5'7".

> There's also a minimum amount of essential fatty acids to consider... at the time it's not like they had canola oil.

There's a certain vegetable oil that Rome and Italy are quite well known for.

I'm with you on being skeptical that they were vegetarian, but I think you're overstating the requirements a little bit. I think it's fairly likely that they ate a fairly low meat diet just due to the logistical difficulties of obtaining fresh meat or carrying preserved meat.

Here's one way I think of it: in statistics vs. machine learning, there's a difference in your goals, which is reflected in a difference in your models.

- In statistics, the goal is to explain something. The models have few variables, and each variable should mean something, like the influence of the person's age or sex on the outcome.

- In machine learning, the goal is to make something work. This is apparently better done with millions of variables (neural network weights), and each variable is opaque and means nothing by itself.

He hints at this distinction in the blog post but it's not entirely clear.
>At this point, I had taken only an introductory statistics class that was a required general elective, and then promptly forgotten most of it.
Foie gras is absolutely delicious.
That is an apt analogy even if most people aren't going to be able to process and discuss it earnestly. You can extend the analogy even further with China's approach to social engineering, they actively pursue the censorship of content they deem socially harmful (such as pornography) as much as they pursue the censorship of dissident political content.

It's interesting to see an authoritarian government use tools normally associated with poltical oppression to enforce social mores. Whether you believe those social mores are positive or not doesn't really matter to the part I find interesting and that is the questions and moral quandaries posed by the use of such powerful tools to ostensibly change society for the better. That is a subject that has gone completely ignored and undiscussed in the Western world. That's concerning because we're watching a live demo occur in the world's most populous nation but no one is talking about it.
It's not even new information -- it has been known by historians for decades that most non-elite Romans had no ability to regularly consume meat and they existed on a heavy carbohydrate diet supplemented by seafood when they could get it.

It's one of the things remarked on by contemporary Romans about their Germanic and Celtic foes -- that they ate so much meat, that they used 'disgusting' animal fats (lard and butter) instead of olive oils in their cooking. And that they were much taller. Likely because of higher meat and dairy consumption over several generations.

The Roman agricultural economy could not support high meat consumption.

We're an early-stage startup building integrations into dozens of SaaS/PaaS to make it easier for companies to fulfill data access, data deletions and opt outs as required by the GDPR and the new California privacy bill (CCPA).

Data privacy and data protection should be a no-brainer. But the reality is many departments within organizations are not well-equipped to comply, so we're trying to help make that a more seamless process. In doing so, we think this will help give users more control over their personal data.

We have paying customers and have recently raised $4.2m.

Our stack (and growing):

* aws (codedeploy, elasticbeanstalk, rds, lambda, kinesis, athena, etc)

* ruby/rails, go

* postgres, redis, s3

Looking for 3+ yrs exp for software engineer and 5+ yrs exp for a senior software engineer.

Experience with data engineering or data science a plus.

I've also had doubts about hooks since its proposal, and I agree with the points you raised.

From the Rules of Hooks section in the documentation[0].

- React relies on the order in which Hooks are called.
- Only call Hooks at the top level. Don’t call Hooks inside loops, conditions, or nested functions.
- Only call Hooks from React function components. Don’t call Hooks from regular JavaScript functions.

This design decision doesn't sit well with me, and I won't be using it. However, the community seems to have already welcomed it, so I'm forced to learn the intricacies to be able to understand React codebases and keep up with the latest trend..

The addition of this feature is sure to increase cognitive load and technical debt. There are already countless variations of state management libraries and patterns that encourage pure functional components and decoupled logic. Hooks seem to be yet another opinionated strategy - and not for the best, in my view.

Your math is off by 10%. And saying 78% carbs in no way implies the rest is meat. The remaining 22% could be non animal sources of fats and protein. I’ve done vegitarian keto where about 70% of my daily intake is non animal fat, 15-20% non animal protein and 10-15% carbs.
You should make a post on social media and.. oh wait.
This is probably because for most crimes, it suffices to establish that (1) the act of the crime occurred and (2) the defendant is the one who carried out this act.

In many types of sex crime cases, the prosecution must also prove that (3) the behavior engaged in by the parties was not consensual.

People do not generally consensually enagege in battery, theft, or murder. People consensually engage in sexual activities all the time. Also, sexual activities often have no third-party witnesses, which makes proof more difficult.

This is somewhat useful. As an example, if I ever open a business, it will probably be called "greenbackspaceshipsychophysicshop"
This is certainly true, but Indian cooking is a commitment. You need to have several spices on hand (turmeric, cumin seeds, mustard seed, both coriander seed and powder, fenugreek, kashmiri chili, cinnamon bark, asafoetida, a decent garam masala, fresh or frozen curry leaves); you will need to understand how to grind these spices and then temper them in oil or ghee; you will need to have a variety of legumes (split dried chickpeas, split dried mung bean, red lentils); you will also need basmati rice and yogurt; you might like to have tamarind and mango pickle; you will need the ability to constantly mash together ginger, garlic, and fresh chili; you must have the capacity to finely chop onions.

Indian food has subtleties, and it's not easy for the beginner.
Technical issues don't seem to require as much strategizing as people-issues, so from that category here are a few of my top ones:

- A person as you imagine them is likely completely different in truth. Since it is less work to imagine optimistic things about them, unrealistically high expectations can be a viable strategy since people seem to gravitate towards expectation and you are left with more energy to deal with real instead of perceived issues.

- If you find yourself having negative thoughts about someone, find a way to account for their perceived misdeeds as circumstance, so that you may direct your mind back towards creative solutions to your common problems as soon as possible.

- You don't need to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Even a small, net positive influence can be enough. Cultivate a sense for where your responsibilities begin and where they end.

Regular meals and stable blood-sugar is important for dealing with people. The self is a thin veneer over a strange and fickle animal. Do not forget that we are a planet of apes.
