I just watched a lecture on diabetes by Dr John McDougall last night. He described type 2 diabetes as the body's natural way to limit weight gain. He points out that morbidly obese people are often not diabetic: lack of insulin resistance is what enabled them to keep growing. Viewed this way, diabetes is a sign that a person has reached maximum weight. Giving a person additional insulin at this point is like trying to override the body's defense mechanism and forcing it to gain even more weight.

McDougall has lots of other interesting insights in the lecture and discusses how he treats diabetics. He goes into some detail about how he decides how to adjust medications and why he recommends his diet.

I'm posting this here because it may be of use to people who may not have heard this information from their own doctors.

The lecture is found here: https://youtu.be/UgE2IdL6tMw?t=1103

The link starts the video at the point where McDougall starts discussing type 2 diabetes specifically. Before this he talks about insulin and type 1 diabetes.

But sadly, without money, the place will just deteriorate and fall apart. And who knows where that money would come from.

I wouldn't be worried about that. Unless there's some major structural issue at play, even a rent stabilized building can easily pull in enough income to keep the place from "deteriorating".
> you have to refactor and maintain it

You already have to do that, so why not do it in a reasonably powerful language?
I've been following Robert Heaton's blog for a while: https://robertheaton.com/
Also, the unemployment rate communicates nothing about the dignity of a job. The 45 year old former factory worker who is now fighting for hours at a retail job counts as employed. He also counts as angry, depressed and ready to burn the system down.
I do the same thing, but instead I do it for putting plaintext contact email on my websites that won't get scraped for spam.

It makes it copy pasteable when rendered, while not incurring any funky processes or having to write new classes.
Some of the commenters here might be interested in the wonderful essay by Mark Twain: "The Awful German Language":

It is a great read but you really need to understand German to read it.
Proportionately they are -- my wingspan is a little longer than my height (my physical therpapist calls this my "ape index", ha!). If you look at the typical ergnomic desk setup (like this one: https://airawear.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/1-desk-heigh...) my desk would basically have to be in my lap to be elbow height, which is why I need the hanging keyboard tray. I would love a lower desk, or one that lowers! But not possible right now...
As someone who wants to remain in the workforce, the absolute most frustrating thing about taking a break between jobs or wanting to bootstrap a company or start something new is not the lack of income during that time but that my healthcare in the US is tied to having a job.

Yes, I can buy individual insurance, but moving off and on new plans is incredibly time consuming, and if you have a certain prescription that you are on or have something that is covered by an employer plan but may not be covered by an individual on then it's highly risky to leave.

>Why should spotify have any say on what software you use on your computer?

I agree that cheating is not on par with ad-blocking, but that's neither here nor there. If there are exceptions then the GP should clarify their position.
This is a great point and I experience the same issue. Quote, don’t code block.
iTunes can do that too if you use iCloud Music.
Doesn't citrix solve this problem?
Right in line with my thinking.

While I'm not a developer, I wanted to learn Python for various reasons. Instead of just learning ALL OF PYTHON, I broke it down to little projects, learning how to do those projects along the way. While still no expert, I can at least handle what I set out to do.

I'd also add immersion, if that's what you would call it. Not really related, but I used to never watch sports, up until the start of this NBA season. I subscribed to podcasts and newsletters and found some sites to read daily. In the beginning I probably knew 5-10% of what was being talked about. But after some months of this I can probably digest a good 70-80%.
I had a job where I had to reverse engineer broker API's. A few brokers sent us warning letters since it's technically legal but brokers obviously hate it.

That was the best cat-and-mouse game. We had a revolving door of proxies that we would use to hit their endpoints so they couldn't catch us. So much fun.
> Do you still upload your code via FTP directly to the web server?

It's pretty rare that this is even an option, since no one in their right mind would set up an FTP server with access to anything important.

SFTP? I don't see why not. No need to make things more complex than is necessary.

I don't remember any particular problems with code caching when I did PHP development, though maybe you use a different caching tool than I did. Also, Wordpress is its own beast, and is generally reviled by most everyone, expecially PHP programmers.
I add my take. I started blocking ads so many years ago that I lost the memory of it. It was not for fear of tracking and privacy intrusion. It was to improve the legibility of web pages. Ads pollute them so much more than they did to newspapers. Years after that, I started enjoying the implications of adblocking on privacy and tracking.

I also use uBlock Origin to hide many elements on several pages only to improve legibility, expecially on mobile (hello Medium hosted sites! and many other fixed positioned menus.)

I don't know how much I support basic income as a substitute for jobs. Jobs can suck, but basic income takes away the levers for poor people (anybody relying on one primary income stream for disposable income) to be useful to the rich and powerful, leaving them completely vulnerable to the games of the latter. Even if you mopped a rich person's floor and the rich person wanted to dispose of you, he'd likely have to replace you with another floor mopper; the coupling between rich and poor is still there. Without jobs, the poor are completely expendable. If things go well, there's no way the poor can keep paying attention to maintaining the system, and things can go bad. If things don't go well, the bottom can drop out. This is of course not discussing the other benefits of jobs (a feeling of dignity, a way to spend time, being around other people and a tie to society).

I'd rather support a system of federated capitalism where everybody owns and rents some amount of capital (financial, intellectual, social, etc.), along with a government that can provide for basic needs. Everyone has some nontrivial amount of power, and has to respect other people and their power.
To be clear: I've encountered plenty of issues on Windows 10. But most have been addressed, the rest can be managed if you know what you're doing, and running out of date operating systems is not a safe or viable way to operate, especially as a business.

If someone really just doesn't like Windows 10, my advice is to switch to Linux. Continuing to run obsolete operating systems just isn't okay. :)
I think most people struggle to understand how plastic money is in the context of a government that runs its own presses.

Everything is affordable in that situation. In a smaller country, if you do nothing else to manage it, it increases inflation.

In a 'reserver currency' country that inflation is spread out across the globe.

And that isn't even addressing things like how the USA could reinstitute the wealth and income taxes of the 40's, or charge market (rather than fire sale) rates for national resources (drilling on fed land, grazing on fed land), airwaves, or alter how we grant monopolies (patents) and many other untapped flows of public wealth to private entities.
Unfortunately their web player has issues with recognizing some paid accounts.

I have a grandfathered $5/mo no ads account. My corporate firewall settings prevent me from using the desktop Spotify client. The web player still plays ads for me when I'm signed in to my account.

When I raised this issue with Spotify support, they were friendly and professional but the answer boiled down to "use the desktop client, the frontend sees your legacy paid account as a free one and we're not going to update our code to handle it."

I use an adblocker on Spotify to get the ads-free experience I pay the company for.
I agree completely. It's also important that the audience can actually tell the difference between good writing and poor writing and give useful feedback. You can't just ask people to write and hope for the best.
If you compare it to a generalized Lamp stack, sure. Compare it to Laravel, and you have no solid basis for "code quality", worse readability, it's Fortune 100-levle-secure, future-maintenance -- Laravel is more active than any other community out there, and has significantly more tooling.

As someone who lives in Long Island City, the opposition to HQ2 seems mostly coming from a vocal minority. Sure, most people are not in favor of the tax breaks, but they're also primarily in favor of Amazon coming in general[0]. There is so much misinformation about these tax breaks...so many people are saying, "We're spending $3 billion! This is unconscionable!" without understanding that NYC isn't actually going to be cutting a check to Amazon and tax revenues will almost certainly be net positive as a result.

Really, the political posturing about this is bonkers. The local council member, Jimmy Van Bramer, now says he is allegedly against this deal[1]. Here's his signature on a letter in favor of the deal just about a year prior[2].

In my mind, the biggest problem is where we're going to put all these people. I really hope (but am not holding my breath) that our local pols have the courage to vote in favor of upzoning large swaths of the area to provide enough housing for everyone. Otherwise the most vulnerable among us will just get pushed further to the fringes.

I'm against tax breaks for special interests, as I think it is a prime example of crony capitalism. I'm disappointed that Cuomo and DeBlasio offered any argument besides "NYC is a dynamic city with a great talent pool and halfway decent infrastructure for US cities." But the amount of fear-mongering, inconsistencies, and falsehoods swirling around HQ2 really irritate me.

There has to be a balance though. The last place I worked some guy would write literally 30-40 pages explaining a service he was going to write. No one was going to read that, nor should they. It could have been explained in 1-2 pages, easy.
Very dishonest headline. It failed to increase employment among people who are already unemployed, which no one expected it to do. It also did not decrease their number of working days.

Unpaywall is just a database of free(libre) scholarly articles. These articles can almost always already accessed at the journal website using the normal way of finding them. doi.org/$DOI or scholar.google.com is another. The problem is not with these articles but the larger number of ones that are behind paywalls the unpaywall. Unpaywall is not what they do (from the blurb on their homepage and a brief look at the site) and a very deceptive name for their site.
I think this is a key concern. I don't think that there is a good counterargument, but the best that I've heard is that UBI will enable mass migration to rural areas or remote exburbs (including corporate sponsored - welcome to your new Google Home!). Of course some are happy to introduce rent controls or spark an inflationary death spiral with 'cost of living' adjustments.
I think "helicopter parenting" is not related to authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles.

The former defines the parent's relationship to the child's society, whereas the rest defines the parent's relationship to the child itself.

I'm not sure if they'd satisfy these requirements, but I generally open paid Hulu more than I do Netflix. Google Play Music seems to cover everything Spotify does and there is no free option (so there are never ads), but it's Google, so it could go the way of Reader at any point.

And rather insignificant to implement. All this protects against is low-effort document scraping. If they randomized it somehow, that would be a little harder to defeat.

Handing out free money will most likely just cause inflation and defeat itself. The inflation will make the amount paid out in basic income insufficient to live on.

The alternate to basic income for the purpose of housing, health and food, is to provide a basic version of those resources at zero cost.
"Medicare for All, definitionally, offers single-payer access..." Yes that is what the definition of Medicare for all should be but we are already seeing presidential candidates trying to redefine "Medicare for All" to the point that it doesn't mean much at all. I hope you right on Jayapal but till we see the bill's text we won't know.

Facebook should try to adapt screamer-prank tech[0] for ads. Even if an ad missed your attention, you'd still have to pay 1 laundry bill and 1 bill for stuttering-aid couching.

Jokes aside, even with rendering to canvas, ad can be blocked with image recognition. Long time ago I used Sikuli Script for UI testing automation, Sikuli recognized parts of screen and worked very fast; combine it with an app like CinemaDrape and voila.

See my reply to a sibling comment; I'm not unaware of history, though there's an incredible amount I am ignorant of, certainly.

But I'm familiar with Hoover; this is wildly different. For one thing, unless I'm mistaken, he was never actually President. "Arguably more powerful than the Presidents he supposedly served" is a neat line and not unreasonable, but doesn't really approach what I'm arguing: that this moment is without precedent in American (world?) history.

That's because the story here likely goes beyond simply AMI going after Bezos at the White House's direction - that would be a hell of a story but also hardly original.

A President conspiring with two separate foreign powers to undermine our elections in order to enrich himself is just one part of the overall story that I contend is novel here. It may not even be the seediest part, depending on what comes of, say, the Seychelles meeting.

They're not focusing on sites like FB, because using them isn't a requirement of any meaningful task.

Lawyers are definitely going after things like companies' job sites. Applying for a job is a protected action and no discrimination is allowed, either intentional or not.
The value of a publisher these days is not about the cost of publishing anymore (for obvious reasons, like text editing technology and the Internet).

Today it's almost 100% about the prestige/brand recognition of the journals which they still control.

Journal prestige still matters because: (i) it's a way people can quickly determine the value of a paper (i.e. without reading it); and (ii) "where" you publish has direct impact on researchers careers, funding, etc.

The only way out is for the research community to start using other means of ranking papers and assessing the impact of research in a way that doesn't depend on which journal it got published.
Irrational if all you care about is money.

Everything Bezos tells about seems to have happened very recently, after the divorce announcement, making Lauren Sanchez a very obvious hacking target for which password leaks are a very obvious easy strategy.

Only after an initial period of exclusivity - I forget whether it's 6 months or 12 months. But even this was an enormous improvement over the status quo.
You're right, it's snapshots with the diff animated between them.

A lot of people complaining here about it being difficult to see the diff haven't understood what this is for then. But then, what is it for? Just to look pretty?

Is it to easily find the state of a file at a particular date or commit? But then it'd be hard to do if there were a lot of commits. Would be nice to know what use case the creator had.

This is a really dumb move. It's not like Apple was previously unaware of this, there were entire venture backed companies built entirely around being able to do this and they've been around for years.

Despite seeming scary, this is actually the most benign form of data collection. People have this naive notion that companies have this obsessive desire to track them as an individual. Working at tech companies, this could not be further from the truth. I do not give a shit about you as an individual, I care about you as a collection of attributes that I can correlate with the attributes of the rest of the user base. The only time I care about you as an individual is if you're reaching out to our customer service as an individual with a problem and I want to help diagnose it.

The problem with screen recording data is remarkably useless for anything else because it's too high fidelity to be aggregated. If I want to serve you more personalized ads or manipulate you into purchasing something, there are other tools that are far more appropriate for the purpose.

The only reason Apple is doing this is for PR reasons, to help signal to everyone that they're a privacy conscious business. But they're doing this by leveraging people's misunderstanding of how data collection is done and banking on emotional fears rather than actual damage.
I wonder if it might just be not knowing how to start, rather than fear, then. I don't expect I'd be very good at achieving those goals unless I had a specific project in mind that touched on them.

Like, I wanted to do kernel development for years and couldn't get into it, and then suddenly I had a job with buggy kernel drivers that needed to be fixed and it was surprisingly easy. Fear wasn't holding me back, but not having identified a realistic small project in the area that I was motivated by was.

That's a weird way to spin it. Much more useful and interesting, to me, is that UBI recipients weren't any less likely to get jobs. That implies that UBI will not--as some fear--in fact lead to a bunch of lazy, parasitic layabouts. They're still trying to find work, they're just happier and healthier while they're doing it.
I agree, but I do think it's important to specify that this is only one UBI proposal (it's the UBI proposal that I favor, that Milton Friedman supported as an alternative to bureaucracy heavy welfare programs).

There are plenty of UBI proposals out there that are not universal (you don't get it once you hit a certain income threshold) and that don't replace other welfare programs. These are nontrivial differences that I don't think should be obscured.

Sounds very familiar. Although I've been hired in the past by a place with a 1-of-1000 hiring sieve, the whole process is so arduous and demoralizing that I no longer bother.

Instead I just take jobs that are easier to get. Yes, the pay is lower, and I'm pretty under-utilized. But I have better things to do with my life than practice leetcode hours each day.
