Aluminum cans are very easy to recycle. About 2/3 worldwide are recycled, which is the highest of any material.

They probably just seem like they get colder because of the higher conductivity of the aluminum. The downside is that they don't stay cold nearly as long as a plastic bottle. The condensation that forms on the outside of a cold can expends a lot of energy into the liquid.
Buy a nalgene....we can do better

We used to just use public drinking fountains. Or paper cups at the office water cooler. And kids drank out of water fountains in parks, or out of random garden hoses they found.

Yesterday I saw a kid with a fancy Nalgene... at church!

I have a pill that I take which has dry cough as a side-effect, and even I don't bring a water bottle to church. The kid's not going to shrivel up and blow away because he can't have a sip of water for 45 minutes.
How many calories are you taking in? The answer is: It depends. There's a huge number of factors involved in simply identifying the number of calories present in the food we eat. Some studies show as much as a 20% difference in what was on the label and the actual caloric content. And that doesn't even account for how many calories are actually absorbed by the body - a value which has even more confounding factors.

How many calories are you expending? The answer is: It depends. How (warm|cold) is it? What's your average body temperature? How much clothing do you wear? What's your genetic makeup? Doing a lot of thinking? What's your current exercise regimen? Is your body in state X where it burns (more|less) calories than state Y? Are you sick?

Calories in and calories out sounds good on paper and seem obvious to an engineers mind, but if you can't tell how many calories are involved on each side of the equation, it's a meaningless measure.
Let's not forget that obesity is also socially contagious, and there is tremendous social pressure to conform to obesity, which is why if you're less fat than fatter people, they will publicly shame you for your lack of comparable obesity with comments like "you need to eat a cheese burger" or 'get some meat on those bones' etc.
> This isn't a new policy. It's largely the same reason OpenBSD shipped with a fork of Apache 1.3.x for many years before ultimately writing their own httpd(8).

From what I recall, Apache httpd 2.0 came out a long time before Apache License 2.0. A quick check of Wikipedia confirms it:

> The Apache HTTP Server codebase was relicensed to the Apache 2.0 License (from the previous 1.1 license) in January 2004, and Apache HTTP Server 1.3.31 and 2.0.49 were the first releases using the new license.

If OpenBSD wanted to use httpd 2.x without switching to the new license, they could have forked 2.0.48. Their reasons for not using httpd 2.x were entirely technical. Architecturally, 2.x was a major departure from 1.x, and the OpenBSD developers were grognards who rejected it because they weren't interested in a web server that deviates from tradition. And since Apache still maintained 1.3.x for ages after 2.0 came out, it made their decision easier (well, until the license change hit).

And this is a huge digression anyway: I honestly don't see a reason to cater to a group of people who would cut off their nose to spite their face. The LLVM team has better things to do with their time.
Water is not packaged in aluminum cans because of consumer views. Plastic is clear, so you can see the "clear, pure water" inside. Metal cans are more often associated with beer and soda, and there's the distant association of metals with a metallic taste (something that doesn't happen as all aluminum cans are epoxy-lined to prevent corrosion). Some sparkling water is still packaged in aluminum cans, but the vast majority choose not to.

Paper is probably the most ecologically friendly water packaging, followed by glass.
There are so many things wrong with this article, here are some facts.

1.
More insulin causes the body to store fat.
Less insulin causes the body to burn fat.

2.
A low-carb diet lowers insulin levels.

3.
Over the last few decades they started adding sugar (carbs) into almost every food product while the US government published a food pyramid with a heavy emphasis on carbs.

4.
As the article states, now we have an obesity problem which was not as severe in the last few decades.

It's stated as much in the initial proposal.

"1) Some contributors are actively blocked from contributing code to LLVM."

> These contributors have been holding back patches for quite some time that they’d like to upstream. Corporate contributors (in particular) often have patents on many different things, and while it is reasonable for them to grant access to patents related to LLVM, the wording in the Developer Policy can be interpreted to imply that unrelated parts of their IP could accidentally be granted to LLVM (through “scope creep”).
From what I gather they are also holding Lexra core IP.[1]

Hopefully they will be releasing the Lexra IP too. I have stumbled upon many routers that utilize Lexra cores.

I'm fairly confident, I've had weight loss before that didn't last and it involved unsustainable dieting, no exercise, and unrealistic expectations. It's been over a year already, I actually started in September 2017. I don't see anything changing for me.

There was a lot of ignorance on my part. I had to learn how to exercise, learn how to have fun exercising, how to set and meet goals and how to cook, how do a lot. I have all these skills, I have a routine. I've already had setbacks from which I've recovered. I injured myself and couldn't exercise, I kept eating correctly and when I got better I got back to exercising. Over thanksgiving I ate a lot, I took a week break from managing a calorie deficit to enjoying myself and since then I've been back to cooking and counting my calories.
> And because indexing by string is more harder task, including hash calculations if it's using hashtables as implementation

FWIW, Lua uses string interning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interning). The hash calculation for looking up _G["print"] occurred at compile time. _G["print"] should be as quick as indexing an array because the hash calculation is memoized and comparing string equality is equivalent to testing pointer equality. (Indeed, in a simple test both _G["print"] and _G[42] take about 1/10th of a second to iterate 4 million times on my circa 2012 Core i7.)

That said, using lexically bound locals (aka upvalues in Lua parlance) is indeed faster as loading the variable becomes a simple pointer dereference through the [anonymous] function object. A simple test suggests about 25% faster.

No, because there are no consumer bank fees for depositing and spending money. That’s what I and most consumers use a bank for. In the US, consumer banking is free. Most checking accounts have no cost and neither do the debit/credit cards.

Sorry, that makes little sense to me. The extra calories burnt in conversion to glucose is not going to be enough to cause weight loss. Any glucose that your body does not immediately consume gets converted to lipids and stored.

Show me the chemistry. Show me how sugar in a raisin is somehow significantly fewer net calories of glucose than just eating the equivalent in refined cane sugar or wheat flour. Sure, it takes a small amount of energy to reduce other sugars to glucose, but I can't see how it can be enough to make a difference in a weight loss diet.
Usually true, but they want the optionality of being able to purchase in cash if the buyer demands it. DoubleClick ($3.1B) and Motorola ($12.5B) were both purchased for cash. Not many buyers have $12B in cash sitting around.

For CI/CD requirements you really want to measure the time difference between every commit and the previous commit. That way you can say that if your CI/CD processes take less than X amount of time, they will finish before the next commit Y% of the time.

Depending on what she is doing some people have moral objections to her work (as you appear to), and to what they see as moral flexibility on her part.

But in the end she is a great lawyer who understands this stuff very well, and tries to help her clients understand how to achieve their interests/goals.

That is very separate from whether those are good goals/not.

Be careful what you wish for. The Internet made it easier for vendors to provide that "anytime, anywhere" service to you. It didn't however give them an an economic incentive to do so.

Right now you can still buy a physical DVD/Blu Ray which can be ripped into a digital format of your choice. You still have control. You still only have to pay once. You even have the ability to re-sell it as a used product.

That's going to change once studios decide physical media isn't worth it anymore, and so if you want to re-watch something, you need to have a subscription, or need to re-join the service to watch.
What fees? Depositing and spending money at all the major consumer banks in USA is free.
The last objection doesn't make any sense. This is a license, so it is a grant of rights under contract law no matter what rights are granted or terminated. If you sue someone for breach of copyright, inevitably the case will be "dragged into contract law" if the defendant claims to have a license to the copyright. I don't believe there is a distinction between patent and copyright here, as a grant of either via a license is a contract.
People actually do this with SIP gateways.
Cool project and well executed. My only complaints are:

1. The GUI should display at the bottom of the screen rather than at the top. I found myself constantly having to jump my eyes from the bottom of the terminal where my command was, to the top of the screen.

2. Show the full commands in the search results. Maybe they could be wrapped? Long commands with changes towards the end of the string get chopped off making it hard to know the differences between them in the display.
I'm so excited about all the error messages work on this release! Also, the new metadata and tap functionality creates so many possibilities. And Java 8 minimum guaranteed so we can build things on top of java's time libraries and trust they will be there.

Nice work everyone!
> "If the outcome of the case results in a criminal conviction against the bank, there are potentially severe reputational and financial risks to the bank, as well as the bank’s standing as a licensed financial institution with regulators worldwide."

Anybody have any insight into what these consequences realistically are?

Malaysia is an irrelevant market to a global investment bank, or it can be. This is precisely why even the LARGEST governments of single markets don't do this specific thing.

Malaysia's super-damning criminal charges are just fines. Goldman not paying this out already is just because:

A) Its a larger fine than a market of that size can normally get kickbacked

B) They want to change the semantical definition of the criminal charge, to civil one and whatever the "due process" version of a legal kickback is called in that country, without admitting or denying anything

Everyone knows these are racketeers, does admitting a criminal in an irrelevant country change that? Does "denying but paying off" a criminal charge in an irrelevant country change that?

https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/goldman-sa...

Goldman has paid $9,602,492,860 since the year 2000 to various US financial regulators and has suffered no reputational effect while subsequently: losing all of Libya's money in a fund created basically the day after sanctions got lifted. Winning the Malaysia government's business and losing that money too.

The only difference is that this time we aren't changing the regime of Malaysia, so answer me this, does it really matter for Goldman?

That's essentially what a stock buyback does. The two options to return earnings to the owners are to issue a dividend, which is taxed at a higher rate or to buy back stock which drives up the value of outstanding shares thus returning value to the shareholders
My favorite quote of all, nice to see it around again. :)
I started dabbling in neural networks and we had to come up with a startup name. It took us 2 weeks per name, and they all were already taken.

This Python package learns the "style" of words (e.g. Celtic, German, Orcish, Pokemon-style) through a supplied text corpus, then simulates new names in that style.

It might help some of you in quickly finding a new name if you already know the "style" it should sound like.

Completely agree with this. I've struggled with my weight all my life. I was always hungry and dieting (simple calorie restriction) felt like torture and would never last. For my latest attempt, I cut out added sugar completely and switched to intermittent fasting. The first week was the hell I was used to, but after the sugar addiction waned so did my incessant appetite. I used to think about food all the time and always with an eye towards what my next meal would be. Now I feel like I can actually trust my hunger signals and as a result eating far fewer calories is easy and natural versus the constant struggle simple calorie restriction dieting was.

It is irksome that people lay all of the horrors of the world at the door of “Capitalism” when people have been scamming, exploiting, and generally screwing each other over since the beginning of time. Capitalism is something that emerged in the Eighteen Century. The word means something and to ascribe every immoral or amoral act that aggrandizes someone to Capitalism is an act of intellectual vandalism. And to forstall the karma-harvesting mosquitos about to descend on my comment with a smug “But Capitalism is not therefore an unalloyed good!” reply, I’m not saying Capitalism isn’t without its problems.
It isn't that simple.

A lot of what compilers catch are careless errors like mistyped variable names and missing semi-colons. This is not fundamental understanding of the code. This is a level of care that it is perfectly fine to let your toolchain handle for you.

A more interesting case is type checking. One of the reasons to use static type checking is that you are free to change the type of a variable or argument to a function, and then let your compiler tell you what needs to be fixed. Each individual fix is straightforward and easy - you understand it. But thanks to the toolchain you don't have to find them.

Choosing to work with dynamic typing and exercise vigilance is a reasonable choice. (In fact this is what I choose.)
Choosing to work with static typing and let the toolchain help you in ways that it was designed to help is a reasonable choice. But choosing to work with static typing and refusing to take advantage of how it lets a toolchain help you is not a choice that makes sense to me.

That you should know how to operate without the tools is one thing - I strongly support it. But maintaining your practice in doing so is quite another.
> It was not an auspicious start to my career in computer science.

I'd argue the opposite!

Learning how to "run" code in your head, cover edge cases and invariants, is a great skill to practice. When I was at a hospital after a difficult operation, I used to write down pages and pages of C64 programs in my notebook, too :-)

Even if I never even typed all them out later, I like to think this made me a better programmer. It trains your brain in a way that REPL doesn't.
