These 4 points you mentioned are true facts.

But your conclusion is still not true. Saying carbs should be avoided is like saying water should be avoided because people died from drinking too much.

Biochemistry and psychology is complicated.

But a healthy diet is well known and not complicated.

Basically: Whole food plant based diet with vitamin supplements (notably vitamin B12) and e.g. linseed oil for the essential fatty acids.

A lot of ORMs do this. In .net Entity Framework, you can define your schema entirely with classes, properties, and attributes and if your database doesn't match on startup then it will fail.

As well you can do migrations to match your database schema to your current code model when it changes.
I have read philosophy before turning 25 and hence, and I both agree and disagree with this advice. On the one hand, I’ve certainly had my fair share of realizations of how daft I was when I read the works when I was younger and how quick I was to adopt the ideas of others without really understanding them. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be able to contend with a vast number of texts that I do now without the background and terminology I absorbed by being a bit arrogant and tackling some of the works that I had when I was younger.

In general, you can bolster your defenses against unwitting influence if you have a good teacher guiding you and reminding you to be critical. This is more or less the point of dialectic.
How did your sabatical turn out? Did you get what you expected out of it? I am starting one right now and wonder if you had one or two words of advice?
Your comment made me laugh btw, I am in such a similar position!
Best to you.
I think you are vastly over simplifying what the iPhone was to the industry. The iPhone wasn’t just a native browser, it was also the iPod, Messaging with a full keyboard, and an intuitive integrated phone with visual voicemail. Also Apple through the iPhone freed us from being under the thumbs of our carriers and they’re terrible adware software. At the time I hated my phones so seeing the iPhone wasn’t just an easy and natural progression, it’s something I needed. A folding screen seems like engineers creating something that has no need. I don’t want it. It seems like 3-D TV “let’s do it because we can” not because it’s a good idea.

IMHO, the only valid use-case for one of these VPN services is to hide your traffic from your ISP. Perhaps there's a small improvement in terms of your privacy (the VPN service has less incentive to sell your traffic data than your ISP). But if security is your primary concern, I think you will have to look elsewhere.
That's only true if any given problem is isolated on a single service, because while you are making intra-service problems much cheaper and faster to fix, you are also making inter-service problems almost impossible to fix.

The the scale of the platform is the differentiator. If you're moderating a few hundred or thousand people on a forum, especially a site with a constrained vision and purpose, you're simply not encountering content and behavior like this on a regular basis, if ever.

Now, look at facebook. Billions of users. No constrained vision or purpose to being there; if you're human, you're a customer, and human behavior can be pretty gross at the fringes. And maybe most importantly; they can't just Ban whatever people or content they want, due to both a profit motive and public outrage due to their preeminent position.

This isn't a problem that has already existed, because the problem is with the Scale, not with the Behavior.
I was this until tmobile changed their network and it no longer connected to me L1520. I loved that phone. I stopped using it right around the time that WP really fell out of favor (End of 2015, when tmo dropped it) but I wish I could still use a current version. Microsoft somehow really got most things right with that UX, the UI was fun and made sense, there were small quirks that I didn't realize other people on iOS (which I switched to) didn't suffer from but for the most part it was a better experience.

By far my favorite thing was the home screen and folders. the ability to have different size tiles and folders made my homescreen unique and incredibly powerful.
ignoring the glass - in the winter much of the US is at too high a lattitude to get any UVB, as it bounces off the atmosphere because the angle of attack is too shallow. The sun needs to be at least 50degrees above the horizon for UVB to penetrate the atmosphere. In an iowa winter, even at its apogee the sun is only ever 26deg above the horizon
Huh? 80-90% More like 99.x%. Modern cars are extremely reliable, and even if they do fail (usually due to poor maintenance), that rarely causes a crash, since a disabled car can easily pull over to the side of the road, unlike aircraft.

Almost all crashes are ultimately caused by driver error. Doing FAA/NTSB-style investigation on them would be pointless, because that's exactly what they'd find: people were driving recklessly, inattentively, etc. And there's nothing that can be done about that, because we as a society absolutely refuse to have serious driver training and any standards for driver conduct. We can't even agree on whether the left lane is for passing or not! Try driving in Germany sometime and you'll find that what we accept from drivers here in the US is really quite awful.
>From what I've read (could be obviously wrong, as many reports we get from the "wild" east) that for people in China it is important to be able to show their position in the society - that's one of the reason of housing bubble; having a flat/home is a marker of being someone with rather high position.

As far as homes go, it's more like homeownership is culturally considered a prerequisite to marriage. Maybe the closest equivalent in the west would be having a job, you wouldn't want your daughter to get married to a guy without a job or the means to get one, because working is part of growing up.

Many well-to-do parents buy second properties to gift their children for when they are ready to get married.

Even putting aside its educational value (questionable), 80s BASIC still matters for the same reason that COBOL still matters: I know for a fact it is being used to run businesses with $1m+ annual revenue (I get paid to maintain a couple of them). Quasi-ERP type systems sold in the 70s and 80s continue to survive on commercial interpeters like ProvideX (https://home.pvxplus.com/) and BBX (https://www.basis.com/). Note, I'm not saying that's a good thing or that it's fun to work on.
> have jobs in places that aren't large urban centers

That creates a very different lower-density city. Think about a sprawl like LA rather than a squeeze like Manhattan. Public transport won't work but parking spaces might actually exist. Your Afghan Bagel place will be 1 hour drive rather than 15 minute by subway on the way to work etc.
More space, but less selection and diversity in terms of food, entertainment and other venues.

> Pascal has moved on in the last 38 years.

How many of these extensions are in ISO Pascal, though?

ISO Pascal was last updated in 1990 (ISO 7185:1990); there is evidently an ISO/IEC 10206:1991, a standard for "Extended Pascal". This Extended Pascal 1991 standard was evidently reviewed in 2008 and affirmed as-is.

FreePascal has a Wiki page about Extended Pascal:

I would never be able to to do that job.

Not because of the exposure to "bad things" like the article pushes, but because I've always felt totally fine (even bored) looking at that stuff, and I don't agree with censoring it.

It's just "meh", another day of reality on Earth; the Internet is just a mirror held up next to it.

Will we ever collectively realize this? It seems younger crowds are more normalized to this stuff because they grew up on the Internet. But add in the hypersensitivity in today's public social network sphere, and we're all freaking out over anything even potentially flammable.
Zuck has been around long enough to have experienced goatse, rotten.com and all the other shock sites; back then, I'd argue, it was easier to find and be 'accidentally' exposed to than today.

But, that's the odd experience. Having to deal with new levels of depravity every day is different.

Anyway, what do you believe would change if Zuck did it for a day? They need moderators, as long as the technology for detecting it automatically isn't good enough yet. He knows it's a problem.

> and variable names of any length

Almost, but not quite. It would ignore anything after the 40th character of a name, and the overall line length restriction (255 characters, less line number) imposed a secondary limit.

Still night-and-day compared to some common contemporary BASIC variants what only allowed two-character variable names, of course, and not much of a limitation as really long names would soon have you hitting the overall memory restriction of the default address space (between 10 and 29Kbyte available, depending on screen mode, which had to be enough for the heap (including your code) and the call stack).

I perhaps remember this far too well, given how long it is since I touched one of those machines...
Ah, right. I somehow thought GP suggested near the end that it seems to be hard to fabricate glass that blocks UVA, and answered the question of how to deal with that.
Mayo clinic article concerns excessive supplementation, isolated on vitamin D, specifically.

A hypothesis exists that increasing vitamin K consumption in proportion to the vitamin D, and restricting calcium intake, would eliminate the main symptoms of excessive vitamin D supplementation. Nonhuman animal experimentation confirms, but it has not been tested in humans (likely due to the obvious ethical concerns).

Vitamin D, vitamin K, and calcium are all related.

I have seen guidance specifically for vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), indicating that adverse symptoms may be observed at lower levels of supplementation than for vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), but it was quite some time ago, and I don't know if the claim was confirmed or refuted scientifically.
I don't use Hetzner personally, but they've been in business for a long time and have only heard good things about them. They're cost competitive too.
When you’re doing basic proofs, showing solutions are often simple enough for unconfused verification. There are often standard ways to go about proofs, solutions could provide those standard solutions with sufficient detail written out.
My vote for Go's #1 mistake isn't the popular "lacking generics", but missing the opportunity to have fearless concurrency, and making it so that goroutines can only communicate via immutable shared values and copied values. If you want to optionally and explicitly penetrate that barrier sometimes, I'd be OK with that, but this should be the default.

Generics will probably be added after the fact 10 years after the 1.0 release. They may not be quite as slick as something that was in there from the beginning, but based on the many other languages that added them after the fact, it'll probably work out well enough. Fearless concurrency can't be added to a language; if it's not in there from the beginning it'll never be added. It's a change so big it's almost automatically a new language. And, as can be logically deduced from that statement, I am aware that it would have some additional effects in the language, such as introducing immutability, it wouldn't be simply what we now know as "Go" with just a minor tweak. I'm comfortable with that. Even with Go's focus on simplicity, I do think there was a slight error towards being a bit simpler than the problem permits here.

(I do pretty well with Go's concurrency, but I was first trained brutally by Erlang and Haskell. I see those who don't come by the same route have more trouble.)
I think we can test this retroactively. sed has been around a long time. So we can go grab a copy from, say, Version 7 Unix and try to build it on a modern system. I grabbed v7.tar.gz from https://github.com/v7unix/v7unix, extracted it, and tried to build:

$ make
cc -n -O -c -o sed0.o sed0.c
In file included from sed0.c:2:
sed.h:116: warning: declaration does not declare anything
sed.h:128: warning: declaration does not declare anything
sed0.c: In function ‘main’:
sed0.c:32: error: ‘union reptr’ has no member named ‘ad1’
sed0.c:48: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’
<snip many more lines>

The problem here is that although sed was written in "C" and we have a "C compiler" on our system, the definition of what exactly constitutes "C" has changed. The modern compiler no longer accepts the same language as the V7 compiler.

We can fix the source to deal with this and produce a working binary. But then, what would we do with it? We can't really install it as /bin/sed. The world now expects /bin/sed to support switches and syntax that this sed does not. Trying to use this as /bin/sed would cause lots of programs to fail. The definition of what exactly constitutes a working "sed" program has also changed.

So it seems to me like sed already has rotted in some sense. Looking forward, the sed from a current system is likely to be similarly rotted when you try to use it on a machine 40 years from now.
Hey! Thanks for the response. We've definitely heard this before but the research continues to show that when people work remotely their top complaints are collaboration and isolation. We are hoping we can hit both problems with our product but bringing people in a room where they feel like they are together.

It's not a fully optimized "pragmatic" approach, but humans are social creatures and it shows in productivity and happiness when they are working remotely.

Or Pony is not ready for the world. I mean, they don't even have arithmetic operator precedences [1]. If you're doing things concurrently it must be something uber-important, like censoring cat pictures, but apparently not arithmetics.

Good point. I've seen situations where nobody would take ownership of a bug and fix it - you just had teams pointing fingers at each other...
> An analogy would be the analysis of car exhaust, finding certain levels of CO2, and trying to fix cars with "bad exhaust" by throwing more CO2 into the intake (except maybe this would even have a negative effect by hindering combustion).

This is an hilarious (and fitting) analogy for nutrition sciences.
Late 70's BASIC is an interesting language. Even though it was called a high-level language at the time, it's still very close to how the CPU actually works. You get a couple primitive types (integer, float, string and half-precision floats and ints if you are very lucky) and fixed-size arrays of them, conditionals always involve a GOTO or GOSUB and all variables are global. You can still PEEK and POKE (read and write directly to memory addresses) your way around. There is no such thing as a data stack or named (actual) functions (or their parameters).

I think it's a fine language for introducing people to programming because it's conceptually very simple and leads one to realize how a limited language can or cannot express things (try to implement recursion, for instance).
"If you use something like sshuttle, you can use any arbitrary VPS..."

If I may expand this a bit - you can use any system anywhere that you have an ssh login to. There is no server side software requirement - you just need to have a login and the "server" needs to have python installed.

It's really a fantastic VPN model and I recommend looking into it.
I kinda agree with you, but I did see it working in big corporates too. And each time it worked, it's because they created some "internal startup", self-organised, cross-functional unit for the particular project (and got help from people that had experience in agile/lean methodologies)

Postel's Law is about handling standard protocols.

If you control all the clients and servers using a protocol, it does not apply to you. You're better being as strict as possible.
There is the pressure though to deliver this small feature ASAP, rather than putting in the work to make it flexible enough for the stuff that's highly likely to come down the road.

For a lot of things it doesn't matter, but for some it can be very difficult to change later on, especially if you need to maintain backwards compatibility.
That's you and me. What about my kids, if I had any? Do they have the sense to remove it, or does their curiosity get the better of them?

The issue isn’t just that the person can’t write a valid proof, but that the person thinks they have a valid proof, but it is actually invalid and they don’t have feedback to know it.
+1 for IVPN...I've been using it for more than a year. I use both the client and openvpn versions. A heads up...in the whack a mole back and forth amazon, netflix, etc. will not allow you to connect from IVPN known IP addresses. That's not an issue for me, I'm not using it to get around country restrictions but if you do plan to do that IVPN may not be your best bet.

Hey Dennis, sorry about whoever downvoted you - if you look far enough back in my posts you'll see my opinion on why downvotes are lazy and don't add anything to civil conversation; I get downvotes too often for reasons I can't understand, I feel I have a couple of losers following me around with nothing more to contribute than click a downvote to feel some lame satisfaction and reward in their life.

I would say I've successfully treated the depression I've had. Any bouts of being down I have otherwise are simply part of a cycle from the chronic pain, a lot of pain from many old injuries, that I'm still dealing with. Unfortunately I have to wait 4 months between stem cell treatments, fortunately they are providing a significant improvement in everything including my executive function, decision making, and processing emotion better each time.

I currently only do red meat and chicken. I tried pork which I didn't normally eat anyway and that didn't make me feel well, likewise salmon that made me not feel bad - but made me feel off - so I don't do fish at all currently. I'm mildly allergic to egg whites, so I haven't done eggs for awhile. I don't use spices or herbs or anything other than Himalayan salt. I do cook with a fair amount of beef and/or chicken/beef bone broth which is yummy, along with adding tallow for extra fat.
