Are leptin, insulin, etc released because of what the brain "thinks" you are eating, or are they released as a response to what actually goes into your body?

Aspartame tastes sweet and one could easily imagine the brain "thinking" it is sugar- and yet aspartame consumption does not produce an insulin response.

How did you arrive at a conclusion that this "tricking" is actually happening, when it seems there are proven cases where it does not?

I agree D&D has evolved into a different game, but it's still a lot closer to wargaming than a lot of other P&P systems, like Fate or Fiasco for example. D&D is a system that revolves around simulating party-vs-party fights in a fantasy setting, with some roleplay rules tacked onto the periphary. I felt 4e very much continued with that theme; the problem was fights in 4e were just too complex and laborious, even for a system built primarily for combat.

your recollection of your experience with Nim performance is what it is, but it is at odds with just about every other account of Nim, including by people who really dislike it. Your “it was a long time ago, I don’t remember” doesn’t make it credible either.

Other comments are more a matter of opinion or view, but with respect to speed or memory use - Nim competes favorably with C++, D, Zig and friends. Neither CPython nor PyPy is in the same league.
What a weird argument. It seems to me that LaTex is used so much because it is the fastest way to type math equations, once you get good at it. If you don't have math in your paper, then maybe he has a point. But whenever I have lots of equations, there is nothing better. He kind of ignores this part, as far as I could see.

Neurological diversity is a thing. I have no scientific evidence, but based on anecdata from friends, I think people can experience ethanol intoxication in very different ways.

One of my friends is a former alcoholic; he says that the sound of an aluminum can popping open feels like a religious moment. The sound is apparently so thoroughly associated with endless drinking and partying from his teenage years, that it triggers a brief rush of euphoria, followed by an immediate craving to drink a beer. He's talked about how the first time he was moderately intoxicated, it was the best feeling he'd ever had, both in an immediately euphoric sense, and in a deeper, comforting sort of way. "I just had this feeling that life was going to be all right," he says.

Scary stuff - and so very different from your experience.
I first became aware of TeX generally when towards the end of writing my comp exam responses, I came across @kjhealy's templates. While this looked interesting, I didn't have the time to dive in (I was on deadline for revisions, and borrowing a family member's MacBook as the 8600M in my 15" died).

With that said, I wonder if the people who actually did write a thesis/dissertation in LaTeX had to do all that customization themselves.

For example, I'm in NJ and although I didn't go there, I could imagine Rutgers OIT telling people, 'If you want to use TeX, just download our package, it will install everything you need and will output the correct format for submission'

> How does this tie in with Linus Torvalds, who himself is accused of being toxic and rude?

My kitchen sink psychology take on this would be that sometimes doing something unnice can emotionally compensate for being on the receiving end of un-niceness. You see this a lot in online games where nice players will grief from time to time after they have been griefed. Linus gets a lot of public and presumably also private criticism for basically everything he does, and writing a rude mail every couple weeks may compensate.

That being said I personally have written some (in my perception) rude mails and almost always regretted it, apologizing in some cases even.

With that in mind I don't envy anyone whose name is prominently associated with a popular open source project. I wouldn't want to be in their skin.

I grew up in a town where the mayor was the bail bondsman. His son was the district prosecutor.

A perfect, no-frills example of the typical dynamic between bail bondsmen and government.

How strange that I received the maximum possible bail amount for a crime that I didn't even commit. Surely there couldn't have been an incentive for the son of the guy who makes the laws to illegally prosecute and fine a minor whose only way to finish graduating high school is to pay the damn fine, so that the guy who makes the laws could collect that fine... That would just be corrupt.

Actually I own several hammers which spark joy: a small mini-hammer which fits perfectly in my hand. A large sledge hammer which is entirely too heavy to be practical, but feels like wielding Mjolnir when I use it to break brake discs loose.

The real gray area is when you have some poor quality tools which you do need and use, and you can't yet afford to replace them with ones that do spark joy.
I'm surprised to hear this claim: about equations being easy in Word. I've written long documents in both, and (1) the math layout in Word is crude/inelegant; (2) there seems to be no easy way to change notation in Word. If you define macros for variables in Latex, you can change notation as needed by changing a couple of macros.

This pair of problems has driven me away from writing any but the simplest of mathematics in Word.

I've also found the symbol set in Word to be too small, but maybe with the universal adoption of Unicode this has been fixed.

The problem with word processors is that you can't properly do distributed work with them. No one I work with uses the exact same version of the same word processor I do; actually people in the real world don't even have consistent versions on their multiple machines. Every version switch fucks over fonts, formatting, comments... everything except the bare text. Most of my workflows are at follows:

1. Send LibreOffice text to collaborator
2. Get changes/comments back from collaborator
3. Start addressing them
4. Realize that collaborator has fucked up the formatting by using MS Word
5. Fix formatting
6. Address comments
7. Go home for the day
8. Telecommute the next day, fire up result of 6 on your old machine at home
9. Realize it won't even load comment notes
10. Ask the wife if you can borrow her Win7 machine for the job
11. Give up on formatting, do the editing job first on MS Word
12. Go back to office the day after, fix the formatting which is now an unholy mess of LibreOffice and MS Word
13. Swear at LibreOffice because it somehow spontaneously returns to MS Word formatting but not consistently
14. Get some resemblance of working formatting in order
15. goto 1

Yeah... I'm afraid LaTeX is the lesser evil there.

Summary: emperical evidence shows that students who were taught Pinyin (romanized, phonetic Chinese writing) were far better off than students who learned with Hanzi characters (the pictograms you're familiar with). Despite this, Chinese written language reform is unlikely to happen due to political pressures from the elites, whose family's positions are secured by the higher barrier to entry to becoming an intellectual. It takes more work to learn Chinese than almost any other language because they want it to.

For this reason, even setting aside the other moral quandries presented by China, I'm against teaching Mandarin in schools. Though, as an optional class for high-school-level children, it makes more sense.

Edit: probably worth clarifying that I study Hanzi characters and I am fluent in Japanese.
The author is right but IMO totally misses the point. When you do serious writing, you probably do not want to maintain the content in LaTeX. But not because LaTeX is difficult per se, but because there is, for instance, no way to put the content through a decent grammar/style checker and get back some useful annotations.

This is simply because (La-)TeX is not a context-free language. If it was, you could parse all the paragraphs of content and feed them into, say, grammarly. Then you could correct your issues and automatically apply the fixes. As it stands now your only choice is to use a spell checker that already "understands" LaTeX. Unfortunately, that understanding is guaranteed to be wrong at some point.

Regarding the typesetting aspects: I always wondered how much performance one could get out of a "modern" replacement for TeX. Asides from the time it takes to typeset a 100+ page book with some TikZ elements, the results are already quite close to perfect, IMO.
Not only that: high interest rate can be re-financed. Some real estate moguls say that its better to buy cheap with exp credit than expensive with cheap credit because of that asymmetry alone.
Don’t get me wrong. I think the actual activities parents get their kids to do can be wonderful experiences, especially if you undertake them on your own. What I’m skeptical of is that these experiences hydraulically translate into success as adults, which is what the parents are often trying to accomplish.
There was a good discussion here not that long ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17134668
Not really, because when people say "use LaTeX", they don't really mean you should use only the original version of the software, they're talking about the overall suite of TeX derived programs.
> I was wondering about translating it into organising my digital life.

Yeah, I've gone down this path too. The thing about digital is storage is cheap and getting cheaper all the time. There is very little cost to having a lot of "clutter" in your digital world. It doesn't take up physical space and it doesn't really occupy mental space either. Arguably the cost of trying to de-clutter it is higher than the cost of accidentally deleting something you might want in the future, which is why I'm pretty sure I have never bothered. Put another way, decluttering your digital space is a potentially NPV negative affair--the costs of accidental deletion and time spent decluttering outweigh the gains made by having a "decluttered" digital space.

The only thing in the digital world I think I could justify de-cluttering is my photos. I take a lot of duplicate pictures with slightly different variations in lighting and focus. Having 10 slightly different versions of the same scene is clutter -- especially when 8 of them feature people with their eyes closed, not smiling, not looking at the camera, not in focus, etc.

The rest of my digital stuff isn't like that--there is no 10 slightly different copies of the same paper I wrote in college 10 years ago. Just one. Why bother deleting it? An e-book I read once three years ago and will probably never read again only takes up 30 megs of space when pulled down from the cloud. It doesn't occupy physical space in my life. Why delete it? It costs more of my time & energy to nuke it than just let it be.

In my life I have discovered 3 consistent indicators of a market crash. These apply to any given market rather than the market as a whole.

1) People telling you that. "paradigms have shifted", "a new way of doing business," "things are different now," and that fundamentals no longer apply.

2) People telling you that a particular market or investment will only go up. Common sense that this is a safe investment.

3) Average people who don't regularly deal with investments getting in on the game. I.E. if the minimum wage kid from McDonald's is talking about an investment then it is probably a bad sign.

If that's how the system works, isn't that an incentive for the partner, the wife in this case, to divorce their spouse to get increased control?

> He also points out that, even if you prefer writing markup yourself to WYSIWYG, LaTeX isn't exactly the simplest markup. Stuff like restructured text or markdown (hell, even HTML in many cases!) has much less intrusive formatting information than LaTeX does. LaTeX is designed for final typesetting, and it has too much overhead for the majority of writing cases where you don't care about final typesetting at all.

The larger hurdle (IMO), is that TeX can be extremely finicky even compared to HTML. To get a document that looks mostly the same as the one you got out of Word takes time and a fair bit of setup. I went through this same process with my CV after I finished my MA.

Once it's done however, updates are quick and require almost no effort.
