I was addicted to gaming in my teens, often staying up late nights till 4am. I'm 100% sure if I'd have stayed playing games I would have destroyed my career. I understand the allure of games. I understand the buzz of fading into a world where you can be anyone or anything.

I came to the realisation one night that I was wasting my life away. That gaming was an escape from reality. I stopped gaming completely because I felt like I was missing out on what the world had to offer.

After I stopped gaming a lot of things changed for the better. I became happier, healthier and made more friends in real life than I had ever before.

Gaming addiction should be spoken about more.
Didn't he worked at Paradox during solo development? I think I heard about it, with disapointed reactions from backers who realised he had stoped working on his game.

Ah yes... like with Coventry, the rights of imaginary people in an imaginary future trump those of existing people in the present. ("There's reason to believe" == "we're making a wild guess because it supports our position".)

I am far from a defender of China (I'm a rabid capitalist). However, it annoys me to see the US brought up as the lesser of two evils, given that in reality they (like every other government) do whatever they can get away with. (Also, they bombed Japan because they could - and they bombed it twice because they had two different designs and wanted to compare them. It had nothing to do with saving more people in an alleged future.)
I would love to know a bit more about mechanism. Is it through family holdings, individual wealth management, sons of well-to-dos becoming proverbial doctors and lawyers.

Florence is especially interesting. 15th century Italy had a relatively modern (similar/ancestral to our own) economic-political system. Wealth wasn't all about land-and-title aristocracy. "Merchant" families were the rich powerful instead.

Generally speaking, I'm curious about how all thia works on the individual level. Thomas Picketty's ideas about how wealth dynamics work in the long term are convincing, but, on simple interpretation, it isn't obvious how Bill Gates fits into the picture (other than as an outlier).

>"There is a huge difference between glucose and fructose and how our body reacts to them. Fructose gets harmful and fast."

I suppose you're primarily basing this on Dr. Robert Lustig's claims, correct me if I'm wrong. You should know that his claims are questionable, containing a lot of spurious speculation and dubious interpretations of statistics.

>"Seeds have natural toxins in them to protect against insects and animals that can be toxic for us too and wheat is one of the worst offenders"

You need to bring some citations to the table, particularly for this claim, because it is factually incorrect. Those compounds that are found in edible grains are not harmful to humans.

>"white flour is stripped of any micro-nutrients or fiber, being just empty calories, but with toxins."

White flour has less fiber and a worse nutritional profile when compared to whole grain flour, but to claim that it is "just empty calories" is factually incorrect. Even the whitest white flour naturally contains vitamins, minerals and protein, among other useful nutrients.

Do we westerners consume way too many empty calories in the form of sugar-laden drinks and candy? Yes, absolutely. But that does not make sugar a poison, it is merely a highly non-optimal source of nutrition.

We're hard-wired by evolution to consume energy-rich foods and only slowly get sated by them, because food used to be a scarce resource. So when a bush brimming with sweet berries was available, it was best to eat as much as possible, to build up energy reserves. We don't need to do this anymore, but we're fighting a natural impulse.
So the post i replied to was helpful/constructive?

I am not even thinking that GDPR is implemented/written very greatly, and i was fearing too that it will mainly help to put small businesses out of any product category where storing even just an Email address is necessary(eg have an login and want to enable users to restoa forgotten password) while big companies have their lawyers to allow them keep abusing our data on the edge of legal possibilities and not to our favour...

So Im not yet sure if having no GDPR is better or worse than having none...
Just, simply saying if you have data protection laws i avoid your market without any detailed reason or proposal how to improve doesn’t bring us forward...

"We also believe that society needs to drop the taboo around sex and sexuality - it’s a part of life and health that absolutely should be part of mainstream discourse."

It's 2019 and an overwhelming number of social discourse is solely about sex and sexuality. A lot of people literally care about sex health more than any other health and it is, by many, believed to have negative effect on many people's mental health as well.
I expected a better article to be honest. Some of the ideas are correct, but I think the perspective is overall wrong. For one he is probably ten times richer than the average tech worker.

But you don't want to be rich as much as you want to be wealthy. And that isn't just about money. My friends in other industries didn't make as much in their twenties, but the are relatively wealthy in their thirties. Their career, prospects and family life is generally better than my friends in the tech industry.

The whole article is basically all the other things you should do and manage to try to become successful. Most of it unrelated to technology. That isn't wealth in my book, nor is it happiness.

Excellent. The system works!
My suspicion is that a big part of this is declining family size among all income brackets. The reported numbers are per household rather than per child (excluding households with no children).

Amount spent per child might be flat or even still even be slightly rising for these groups (though obviously nothing like the booming spending of the wealthy).

It wasn't obvious to me immediately, but the hostname of Google's DNS-over-TLS servers is: dns.google

This is important for validating the TLS certificate that is provided by their servers on 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (equivalent to requiring a matching hostname for TLS certificates in web browsers). I see that other commenters in this thread have correctly used this hostname in their examples for CoreDNS and Stubby.

Part of a configuration for the Unbound DNS server would look like:

forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-tls-upstream: yes
forward-addr: 8.8.8.8@853#dns.google
forward-addr: 8.8.4.4@853#dns.google

> it isn't obvious how Bill Gates fits into the picture (other than as an outlier).

Gates came from a wealthy family, which put him in a much better position to do high-risk, high-reward things (e.g. he could drop out of Harvard to work on his business, knowing that if the company failed his family could afford to send him through again).

How do you know whether the commercial product is going to make money when you're still considering what programming language to write it in? Until it's built and launched, it's just a "commercial product dream", similar to a "start-up dream".

> family holdings, individual wealth management, sons of well-to-dos becoming proverbial doctors and lawyers

The last. The article wants to make it sound like this is inherited wealth (alla Picketty) but this isn't really supported. For example, you find much the same pattern even across say the cultural revolution, which I hear was rather rough on inherited nest eggs. The rec. book on this (as in one of the old comment threads below) is Clark, "The Son Also Rises" ( http://amzn.to/2jFnUmZ ).

91% of incoming email to Gmail uses opportunistic TLS. STARTTLS has proposals to harden its security. MTA-STS uses DNS to advertise a domain will always use TLS for email. DANE/DNSSEC is the ultimate solution though that's very ambitious.

In practice, most emails between major domains will be encrypted over every public link. Only the two providers and the two parties will know either the contents or the metadata.

Whether you can trust the providers is a different discussion. But if you can't trust the companies, then you also couldn't trust most software either. The encrypting and decrypting have to be done somewhere.

And yet people in countries with primarily rice-based diets didn't have widespread obesity issues until they started introduced modern empty calorie-laden soda drinks and candy.

You can eat thousands of calories of candy or drink a similar amount of calories from soda in a day, and not feel particularly sated. Try doing that with rice and you'll feel bloated in no time.

A ~200g bag of peanut M&M's can easily be eaten by most people, during the ads in a cinema before the movie even starts. That's over 1000 calories right there, consumed in 10-15 minutes.
That doesn't justify a double standard.

now a days startup ideas that revolve around users problem are the most popular ones.

take Uber for example they had a simple idea but since it solved people’s problem it became famous. Also you don’t necessarily have to launch a global business start small try to come up with solution that will help the local and then you can make it big if you want

for ideas i have to say now launching a business is easier then ever there are so many options now you can start a salon and allow people to book your services from apps, you can also start a logistics business or taxi service etc

There is no documentation that seed oils are especially unhealthy.

They do however consist mainly of omega 6 fatty acids, and our body needs about 50/50 omega 6 and 3 in the diet. Basically omega 3 is anti inflammatory and omega 6 is. inflammatory. (too much omega 3 is not good either)

The problem with seed oils is that we mainly eat those now, as they are used in everything due to price. So we get FAR too much omega 6 in our diet. Which is bad in the long run.
Strange that tech seems to be moving in the opposite direction, with single-purpose devices like MP3 players, GPS devices and cameras being consolidated into phones.

> If MongoDB Inc is successful, it should be because they run a good document-database-as-a-service people want to use

Unfortunately, something that is good, and something people want to use, are not the same thing. People will use AWS's offering even if it is worse and harder to use, because it is bundled as part of AWS. That is a safe option (it can't be that bad if AWS has released it) and an easy one (no need to think about what to use, you are using AWS already.

It would all depend on next generation of consoles and their release year. I bought 3Gb card 4 years ago, when top cards from both manufacturers had 3 and 4 Gb and it was an overkill. Now it seems that 8 Gb is a normal thing (same as PS4) and at least 4 is mandatory for AAA games.

It's quite difficult to take the article seriously when the first description of the guy's business is that he outsources software dev jobs to Eastern Europe and India. That sort of stuff is quite literally why lot's of people want out of the EU. It's a shame, but it's also understandable that people see this guy and say "Hang on, that's not bringing the prosperity and jobs we were told immigration would, that's doing the exact opposite"
I think this is vastly underappreciated. Even myself as a mere middle class kid never worried about what’s if this company goes under or I lose that job. Especially when starting to freelance this insured me from payment delays or going in over my head and needing more time get something finished.

I had the confidence to believe in myself for the long run but also always knew mum and dad would have my back in the short run should anything go awry.
High-oleic acid seed oils are becoming common and cheap enough to use in many cases. For example, Trader Joe’s sunflower seed oil (the kind I use) is nearly exclusively oleic, which is monounsaturated.
isn't Storyboard based on components (parts) first (atomic design)?

Elm is the opposite, it's focused on the whole which you then use as the basis for parts at actual design time (thinking about layout and hierarchy).

So in a way Elm is about form following function (creating visuals from existing functionality), while most of the other environments are focused on function following form instead (creating functionality based on existing visuals).
Opinion on factors based on introspection:

- Desire to shorten the parts of the commute where I can’t read a book (on my phone)

- Desire to shorten the commute in general to maximise time at home or work (day is more relaxed if you arrive earlier)

- Have a set of transport departure times in mind, for the optimal ‘smooth’ journey and want to be sure to arrive early enough to guarantee not missing these. Lowers stress.

- Brisk walking raises heart rate and brings endorphins

- Everyone else walks at this speed. To deviate makes it harder for the person deviating as they aren’t working with the ‘flow’.
On the whole, this is one of the more edifying political threads I've read around here...
Yeah, sometimes the name just says thug :)
The previous sex toy that won an award was for women, from OhMiBod, founded by a woman. This is just a weak attempt to create controversy. It has nothing to do with them being women and that’s a silly first assumption.

If you go to the OhMiBod website, they have a big ad up boasting of their CES 2019 presence, including their all-female lineup of vibrators.

“The company’s experience contrasts starkly with the way CTA has treated sex toy company OhMiBod. Based in New Hampshire, the company has a variety of vibrators on display. They launched more than a decade ago and first appeared at CES in 2011 with a vibrator that synced to music on an iPod.

They’ve been at the show ever since, and have received nothing but support from CTA, said co-founder Suki Dunham.”

Also, there is nothing gender-specific about VR porn.

The fact that they were notified by CES 2 months ago and only launched a cheap smear campaign now is also telling.

And another year, a product by B.sensory, another smart vibrator, also won an award. Also a female founder.

But yeah, clearly they hate companies run by women and products for women.

Face it, you are getting played by a PR op here. Startups will do anything for coverage, and this is a pretty low brow tactic. Sadly, it worked very well.

It’s unfortunate because it really waters down actual incidents of sexism, and people are getting desensitized to claims that any adversity someone faces is because everyone else is a racist or sexist. That’s counterproductive to the cause.

> I can't say definitively, but you could argue that on a team, a more experienced developer might use more advanced features of a technology, which less experienced developers then have to just deal with.

Actually in practice that's much less of an issue when using typed FP. I've found that it's easy to modify parts of code which you do understand the implementation of, while still being able to use the interface of other potentially more complex parts. Of course YMMV.
We are in the middle of a transformation and its clear open source will have to change. There is little stopping cloud providers and other well funded parties monetizing your projects leaving little room for you to.

Because they don't have to focus on development they can divert their resources to marketing, adding the syrup on top to 'ease use' and ride the hype wave while the original developers are dismissed as 'technical' folks who do not understand marketing when the fact is they do not have time left over from development, or the resources.

It's perfectly legitimate to expect to sustain yourself while building open source products and projects. Unfortunately we are flooded with one sided superficial perspectives and short term narratives that look at open source projects as if its a crime to expect to make some money while not even examining slightly the parasitic models of cloud providers and others who in effect hijack open source projects with marketing.

The end game is few can compete with the resources, reach and engineering of behemoths like AWS, Azure, GCP and others. And at the customer end the cloud is unavoidable and thus will only see increased adoption. This is not only going to affect open source but dismantle entire groups of software and hardware ecosystems.

The only way forward seems open source projects that leverage these cloud platforms to provide some additional functionality, but these projects will be intimately tied to these platforms and not 'open' as we understand the term.
