How To Look Forward To Fertility Cervical Mucus?

Cervical mucus happens to play a very important role in fertility which helps the sperm to swim through the vagina to the egg with the help of this fluid. It also proves to be very important when it comes to protecting the uterus as well which is possible from the cervical mucus stages. This is because it contains antibacterial properties that help a lot in preventing infections as well as filtering out unhealthy sperms as well. So, it is very important to have it in the most fertile state so that it does not lead to any sort of problem at all. It appears to be very clean and watery and this helps a lot in the process of reproduction as well. But there are some women who do not have the ability to produce the mucus. It might be the reason due to problems with the glands or the hormones which produces the mucus due to damage or injury.
> Limited liability makes it substantially easier for small-time investors to get involved in economic windfalls.

I’d argue that limited liability mostly benefits the wealthy, as they’re the ones that:

1. Can afford to set up their affairs as a corporation instead of a sole proprietorship or partnership

2. Keep the rest of their assets safe (because they have a lot!) if something goes awry

You don’t need limited liability if you have few assets to go after anyway.
"Moving on, please check your assumptions about whether he should be held responsible. It is my belief that he is an example of selective enforcement of laws that should be more broadly enforced. "
Okay... I live in Sweden and my view is not that he is a victim of selective enforcement. All rape allegations reported to the police are investigated in Sweden as far as I know. Unfortunately it is usually hard to find supporting evidence and it is usually word against word, which often is not enough for conviction. That his case was open for so long, and that the prosecutor found a reason to reopen the case (on request of the victim) does indicate that there might be substantial evidence.

First, talk about Roundup and cancer and endocrine disruption has been going on for 20 years. It's not just about Glyphosate but about the adjuvants that Monsanto adds. These make it work better against insects but might be more toxic than the active ingredient.

If i remember correctly, the Italian government at the time made some noise - they weren’t happy to find there was no exclusivity in the relationship, so to speak. They kinda threatened to cut their contracts. To be honest I don’t know how it ended, it fell off the news in Italy too and that was it. Behind the façade of barely-organised anarchy, Italy is an instinctively authoritarian country and blunt instruments are considered fair game more often than not.

HEAD~ means 'the second to last commit in the current branch' (ie. the second to last when you `git log`).

git reset means 'point the current branch to this commit instead of wherver it's pointing now' (branches in git are just pointers to commits)

git reset --hard means 'also reset the state of the checkout and staging area to be in sync with the commit'

Thus, the entire spell means 'reset the current branch to make it point the the seecond-to-last-commit, also ensure my current checkout and staging area are in sync to that', or, in other words, fully forget and drop the latest commit.

We're not just making cars relatively worse, but also walking and cycling, and we're encouraging (medium distance) travel in general. I don't know that this is a good idea, though I do agree that if you want to encourage travelling, it's fair to not only make it available to the rich.

I'd much prefer people to use any form of transportation when required and not spend their leisure time by descending upon the inner city, but that's a personal preference.
Show HN: Created a Python Monorepo with version, release and dependency tooling
Over at https://github.com/pymedphys/pymedphys I have create a Python Monorepo. It piggy backs of tools found within the nodejs world such as Lerna.

It has multiple packages all with interdependencies that are automatically graphed with clickable, navigable svgs https://pymedphys.com/developer/dependencies.html.

Bumping the version is as simple as running `yarn bump:minor` for example. This then propagates the newly pinned versions for each python package to each python package.

Dependencies are directly extracted from the python code within the packages themselves.

It has been quite beautiful merging the Lerna tooling to support a Python multi package, levelled, Monorepo.

I'm keen for feedback and advice. Please let me know.

Cheers,
Simon
Subversion. Or some special purpose versioning system like "track changes".
One thing that I had been looking for for a long time, but never could find, was a description of the several syntaxes you can use to refer to specific commits. Lots of git tutorials use these magic incantations, but none point you to this crucial bit of explanation.

Recently I discovered that it is found under "git help revisions".
Exactly, it really is silly that the whole "outsource everything to India" mindset was replaced with "everyone has to be in the same building", no remote work, no work from home on some days of the week etc, as it would somehow increase productivity. It doesn't it simply strips companies that mandate such policies to loose the best of their staff which can go away and find work elsewhere in one weeks time.
That diagnoses the problem, sets the stage for solving it, but doesn't actually solve it.
I just haven't seen that as a problem in my day to day as a developer working with Flask, Rails, Phoenix and Webpack.

That's dealing with 10k+ line projects spread across dozens of files quite often, and even transforming ~100 small JS / SCSS files through Webpack. It's all really fast even on 5 year old hardware (my source code isn't even on an SSD either).

Fast as in, Webpack CSS recompiles often take 250ms to about 1.5 second depending on how big the project is and all of the web framework code is close to instant to reload on change. Hundreds of Phoenix controller tests run in 3 seconds, etc..

Sure, I expect it to be harder in places like the US that have a lot of stigma around welfare. However on that note, Estonia isn't actually that big on welfare either. Thus I think there's potential for this to work in most of Europe without insurmountable difficulties.

> Should I have restricted my travels to cities without this problem to protect the romantic worldview of my late teens?

I was basing my comment on the idea of you having actually talked to people and then the majority telling you that they don't want to ride the public transport because of poor people. However if you haven't actually gotten this feedback from the majority you've talked to and are basing it on some other experience, then I guess I would be skeptical of your methodology.

I guess most of all, I have a hard time believing that people in most places would decide their travel method based on how much their fellow traveler earns.

You’ve certainly been misinformed if you think that there is some kind of special free speech protection in the UK that applies only to publishers.

I don’t know of any country in the world where having money and resources doesn’t confer all kinds of advantages. It wouldn’t be difficult to come up with a list of fundamental rights which de facto aren’t available poor people in the USA. (Just think of all the people jailed under plea bargains because they couldn’t afford proper legal advice. Plea bargains aren’t a thing in the UK.)

Certainly, you are better able to defend against a libel action if you have a lot of money. But in fact private individuals would rarely be sued for libel unless they were rich, as it otherwise wouldn’t be worth it. The libel laws (which I’m not a fan of) have the largest chilling effect on small to medium sized publications, not on individuals.
Cultural domination. There used to be a time when countries such as UK, France, Germany were incredibly influential in areas such as music and film. Now they're barely a blip on the radar. All the famous movies and music artists come from the US. I'd argue that stronger protections of free speech is a major advantage that led to this happening.

Somehow I'm never browsing Facebook or Instagram for pictures of cats and the like. I guess they must have overlooked me when they "dictated" behavior to people.

> Many people's lives have become a never-ending pastime.

Yes, ever since we no longer work in the field for 15 hours a day ;) There are pastimes, and there are pastimes though. It's pointless to pretend all are equal - in terms of intellectual or aesthetic stimulation.

> We should think critically of something that permeates our lives as heavily as smartphones and their apps.

I agree.
I think the thing a lot of people overlook when critiquing any kind of architecture is that for every architectural style there are good and bad examples. Sometimes, we focus too much on the bad to the detriment of the good.

I have often felt that a lot of the hate for 60s/modernist/brutalist architecture comes from the stand out bad examples. For example the works of John Poulson, an inept architect who landed loads of massive and lucrative contracts because he was really good at bribery. His practice churned out building designs at a ferocious rate and while some are considered decent (e.g. Leeds International Pool) the vast majority are just bland, soulless blocks designed and built to a price point. Many also had serious structural issues too.

There is a lot of modern architecture to love and appreciate if you can filter out the bad.

If someone ever figures out a class action suit to represent people living near coal plants that are suffering from (or have died from) the side effects of living in a polluted area, it's going to be pretty much game over for the coal industry. At this point they can't really claim ignorance. Bringing this up because class action suits are quite common in the US and have also caused a lot of trouble for e.g. the tobacco industry.

The case for continuing to kill people with smog is pretty weak and cleaning up remaining plants is not going to make operating them any cheaper. It's also a great argument against building more (although entirely redundant considering the economics of coal in general).
In REST you do not need URI templates. You discover the invoice collection endpoint through the root endpoint, and once you have a ID you can, say, query the invoice collection endpoint to get to the invoice.
Poorer neighbourhoods often come with years of deprivation, including dilapidated housing stock and distinct lack of local amenities and services. When there are services and amenities in reasonable striking distance, such as in cities, people don't avoid living in poor areas terribly strongly - or how would you get rapid gentrification of all those former poor places? That so often seems to "just happen" - without focused investment.

Surely a subsidised or free bus or tram service should in no way discourage rich or poor as it is the amenity? What discourages better off people from public transport is unreliability or sparse service - as achieved by the UK's mid 80s deregulation everywhere except London. More surprisingly perhaps, so does price-gouging on fares and season tickets.

Why don't we avoid free parks, beaches and forests because poor people may be there too?

>Swift has clearly an advantage in that domain, as has C++, C#. In an enterprise setting such as Google no one actually wants speed and dynamism out of a language (C++ programmers are not allowed to use rtti for example), rather consistently boring, predictable, statically guaranteed results with as minimal fuzz as possible (Go, Java, C++) and enough competent programmers in that language.

That's a pretty weird statement, considering how hard it is to write a complex C++ program error free. I suppose Swift is much better in this regard - But compared to C++, Julia is a bliss and one can easily write huge applications error free, while I had my absolute worst debugging experiences in C++, where it's very easy to create obscure and hard to find bugs.

If you really need to get predictable results and actually know those results - you won't get away with a static type checker anyways, but will have to write & run tests, which then pretty much make it irrelevant whether your language is dynamic or not.

The problem is not the salary of your fellow traveler (which would be ridicoulus), or hygiene, or snobbism. The problem is fear of crime, be it justified or not.

A current example of that might be the FAA allowing aircraft manufacturers to self-certify that their planes are safe, as happened with the Boeing 737-Max fiasco.

With regards to your specific leaded-petrol example, I honestly feel that if the government keeps proclaiming something is safe that turns out not to be, they should be held responsible for making right afterwards.
There are 2 things to take into consideration. One, phone apps (the problematic ones) are extremely more addictive than TV. Two, once you make a little effort to resist the urge of entertain yourself with mindless stuff (which is considerably harder when we're talking about phone apps), your dopamine resets and it becomes easier and easier to do whatever you really want to do instead of distract yourself.

The quoted text appears to be comparing the sequential and random-access speeds of magnetic disks, so the differences with respect to SSDs does not come into it. On the other hand, I do not understand what the author means in the following clause, where the slower random access is attributed to the overhead of page faults, unless the author has in mind a specific (and unmentioned) scenario involving memory-mapped access (and if page faults are the issue in that scenario when using magnetic disks, why would one not have the same issue when using SSDs? I would have thought the causality goes the other way: the overhead of page faults is higher when using magnetic disks because of their relatively slow random access.)
If it took centuries there is a reason.

>How is that different from people spending time watching TV back in the 80s and 90s? Nothing new.

You couldn't put your TV set in your pocket and take it out to watch a show whenever you liked in the 80s and 90s. Many people use their smartphones while driving, for example; that goes to show the clear difference in accessibility and what it entails.

That's absolutely true. Nonetheless, I'm personally not okay with anyone exploiting that.
For long distance train journeys, you

Unless you can eliminate late and cancelled trains, which would of course be great.
