I chose to be vegetarian aged six, this was probably my first conscious thought as opposed to doing what I thought other people wanted me to think. I am sure I could put meat in my mouth if under duress but I am fairly sure that the gut bacteria most people have for digested meat have died out a long time ago, I have effectively starved them.

I am no scientist and I am not wanting to push a diet choice on anyone, I went vegetarian simply because the food was better at school for the few that were specially catered for as vegetarian, with larger portion sizes being key to my motivation at the time.

However, as a science experiment you could go vegetarian for a year to selectively cull the bacteria that go with eating meat. You could go full on vegan too but that isn't as easy a change as going merely vegetarian.

Expect some flatulence that will sort itself out in time, something you might also want to look into as part of your experiment.

Allegedly people in Africa who actually eat have the most diverse gut bacteria and these guys ain't eating hamburgers.

I think that a change over to full vegan would be with health negatives to consider, a change to vegetarian would not run that risk. It is worth remembering that anyone who is anyone in Hollywood is in the serious business of looking after their looks, they tend to be not eating steaks. In sport there are also athletes that only hit the high notes of performance after going on a mostly plant based diet.

The probiotics business is a business, they have something to sell. Nobody except for book authors are going to sell you the idea of removing rather than adding something from your diet.

As mentioned I am vegetarian by chance - a school dinner lady just happened to do much nicer vegetarian food than meat eater food and I blatantly lied on my first day at that school about being vegetarian just to benefit from the better portion sizes. I had to stick to that lie thereafter and my parents were okay with me not having meat at home. I don't have any skin in the ethics game unlike some recent converts to veganism. However, that said, I can see the upsides financially whenever I dine out. Although bills get split I am aware that my part of the bill is 2/3 the price of whatever everyone else is having or even less than that. I am okay with a bowl of pasta whereas others around the table have some endangered species from some ocean on the far side of the planet, it is obvious what is going to be the cheaper option.

You can conservatively estimate four figure savings by spending a year in vegetarian mode so maybe think of something you want to put that money towards in order to cope better with the hardship of not scoffing burgers etc. for a year.
Yeah, I think differently. I think Google is one of the major bad actors.
My example was meant to highlight the principle and it stands because it's a simple straight-forward example that covers almost all if not all the cases. The burden of proof stands with the party making the claim.

You're free to believe an unsubstantiated theory but you can't expect others to prove it wrong in order to make their point.

Now coming back to your hypothesis, it's too complex and contains way too little data to assist in a decision. A random answer would be just as good and proves nothing. I would probably consider performing the experiment on another planet. Or even on this one. Or wait a little longer (which is equivalent to not doing it). What I would definitely not do is say "The premise of your entire [theory] seems to rely on this one fallacy" [approximate quote from OP]. It's only a fallacy after you prove it.

P.S. Is experiment Alpha the detonation of a thermonuclear bomb that might set the atmosphere on fire? Because we know how that decision went :).

If they flood it with powerful LED light, then when you are old you can enjoy the semi-darkness. There is a tremendous difference in light perception as you age.

I packed my house with 65 watt LED lights. No, not "65 watt equivalent" ones that only give off 650 lumens. I get 4000 lumens from each. Now I can see again.
NIH spends 700 million on breast cancer vs 250 million on prostate cancer. This shows a chauvinist and paternalistic attitude toward healthcare for women who are considered by the male dominated government to be children incapable of taking care of themselves and need the support of men.

pg-strom does that and more:

https://github.com/heterodb/pg-strom

It can be used to optimize things like counts and other aggregates over a standard postgres table, it also provides a foreign data wrapper column store to optimize certain analytical queries by greatly speeding up GPU transfers. Additionally it can use the GPU as a "co-processor" to do large amounts of row filtering before handing the final work off to the CPU.

Remote code execution vulnerability in most recent versions of the Nginx server
Most of graphql client library is non-lazy on url part.
In my apps, i use a lazy apollo client API interface though:

const data = useQuery(url, graphql_query, variables)

The point here is that, the ApolloClient is lazily constructed and reused only when the hook is called.

I don't know why Graphql must be used with non-lazy url instead.

More than that, you don't need a Provider, because the apollo-client is reused between the calls.

Which is also why men live much longer than women, I assume?
I think poorly disguised advocacy journalism has become the defacto journalism in the U.S., especially at outlets like the guardian. And for whatever reason, [advocacy] journalists lean heavily left.

Huh? SQL is just as DSL-y as anything else. It's so non-standardized that I can't take any program written for any RDBMS and run it against any other RDBMS, unless the author specifically extracted all the DSL into an interface layer and ported it to that other RDBMS already.

There are lots of weird parallels between SQL and Smalltalk. For example, both SQL and Smalltalk are constructed with Douglas Hofstader's "strange loops." All Smalltalk object instances have a class, and the classes themselves are object instances. SQL tables are defined using metadata stored in SQL tables. Another parallel, is that the language variants are very similar, but ultimately incompatible to the point where translation is non-trivial. In Smalltalk, this is due to a toothless language standard, resulting from political maneuvering by various language vendors. Not sure what it is in the case of SQL.

There is a problematic relationship between DSLs and libraries in languages of sufficient power. In programming languages with a certain level of expressive power, it's easy to write a DSL on top of a library, or on top of another DSL.

https://xkcd.com/927/

I used to joke about "lady/gentleman computer scientists." What's the difference? A computer scientist knows how to implement another computer language. A lady/gentleman computer scientist knows when they should know better.

A DSL should be used to super-charge your project's very idiosyncratic special context. The trick is knowing better when you shouldn't. Accessing a database isn't your project's very idiosyncratic special context.

Please understand, that it's not an issue with freeCodeCamp. It's an issue with Medium. And it would be a disservice to the entire community to remain silent. There must be thousands of people who are now on Medium because freeCodeCamp had chosen it as its platform, and they deserve to know what happened.

But it's open source. GPL. And it's not just Oracle that contributes to Java... (OpenJDK and Java Community, Red Hat, Azul Systems, IBM, Apple Inc, SAP SE)... We've had Amazon and AdoptOpenJDK compile and distribute their own binaries as well. We could fork it if we had to.

Show them civil engineering codes, specs, and plans. It’s nothing but those words.

You can pull up ASCE standards, the IBC OR CBC, Caltrans Highway Design Manual or Specs, Greenbook, Any city design manual, etc. etc.

"After all, there aren’t many numbers left between 5 and 0."

Math purists may roll their eyes at this statement and clearly even if you are obsessed with integers you can just switch to picometers, but I wonder if it is time to start counting atoms. The diameter of a silicon atom is about 0.21 nanometers, so a 5nm process is dealing with features only about 20-30 atoms wide.

(edit: found more accurate diameter number)
USB-C is way more complicated. It's not a passive cable like the others, it has a small chip in at least one side (sometimes both), that is used to define the specs of the cable.
My grandmother once jammed a USB-A plug into an RJ45 socket. I needed large pliers and no small amount of cursing to remove it.

Note to self: do not tell an elderly person "don't worry, you can't plug it in wrong, the plugs will only fit in the right sockets".

Human brains actually move real stuff around for their computation [1]. Like are like abacusses or some complex clock. Silicon based computers move electrons around which are much smaller and have much less weight. However, you might be right that silicon based computers won't allow further improvements.

So maybe one day we will build computers based on organic chemistry. If they are cheaper and more efficient and work as well as silicon based computers, there is certainly a case to build them.

I'd personally say it's a bit gratuitous to say that Apple designed the connector, but their contribution was clearly significant, even if the politics of the matter mean that we'll never truly know if Apple spearheaded the design or made any significant demands.

Still, an interesting bit of history!
I buy them from Cool Effect. I try to pick energy projects because it’s easier to see the accounting ... and you get carbon sequestration faster (trees take a long time to grow vs erecting a wind turbine).
I've personally found Budgie Linux to be the most "MacOS-like" distro. It is also based on Ubuntu.

Earlier this year I was forced to do an OS refresh on my home system, and I decided I wanted something closer to MacOS; before I had a hacked together system that approximated (virtually identical) Crunchbang (#!) - but was based on Ubuntu Minimal (14.04 LTS) and built up from there.

I wanted something that was still "lightweight" in the sense that it did what you wanted and no more; something with a fairly MacOS-like "intuitive" interface. I wanted something that could be configured easily without needing to hack on config files (as I had to do with my mess - updating OpenBox, etc). But I still wanted to be able to easily modify it to make it mine (unlike MacOS which is pretty locked down in the modding department).

I looked at PopOS, I looked at Mint, I looked at straight Ubuntu, and I tried BunsenLabs (what evolved out of #!); it wasn't until I tried Solus that I found the interface I liked - Budgie Desktop.

Unfortunately, I hated the Solus package management system; I wanted my Debian archive files, and Ubuntu repos, etc! But a quick search found me Budgie Ubuntu - I tried it, and loved it.

Ultimately, to each their own; Budgie Linux may not meet your definition of "MacOS-like" - but it met mine, and is certainly worth a look I think. I don't regret choosing it (my only "regret" - which is minor - is choosing the 18.04 LTS - so I couldn't get the latest version of Budgie, and won't until the next LTS release; currently Budgie is on 19.x (x.10 and x.04) - and that version has the latest version of Budgie, but LTS won't get it until 20.x).

Well if 'improvements' stop, then you'll start getting those things.

Take Librem, their biggest problem is they don't have millions of $ to throw at the problem, so everything takes longer, so you end up with a flagship phone, of 5 years ago.

Now if the state of the art stays the same for 5 years, a 5 year dev cycle doesn't matter, so these smaller companies can compete.
I have to agree, again, anecdotally. I have Mini cables and devices that have been in use for well over a decade. I've never in my life had a Mini cable fail on me.

I've had countless Micro cables fail on me electro-mechanically. Usually either the latch fails, not a huge deal, but not great, or the contacts "flatten" or don't contact any more.

I've lost so many that I've taken to cutting the bad connectors off and soldering new ones on since I have the tools and the skills, and I don't buy cheap cables (in the hope they'll last longer) so the rest of it is usually worth saving.

Well no, half aren't. The average household isn't a family of four. For the United States the average household consists of 2.53 people.

Additionally, this isn't just a family of four in the study. It's a family of four with two kids below public school age. Meaning that they need childcare. That's included. As they get older that $75k number would go down, probably.

Edit: looking at the study only 28% of people aren't "surviving" in King county. Keep in mind, they might have some stuff subsidized by the government or others.
Perhaps there was a communication glitch, to my knowledge cstore_fdw has always worked with citus, here's an excerpt from the docs:

So long as the status quo is in place, these security people are going to be fighting a losing battle. They're evangelizing security in a marketplace where customers don't know enough to demand it and the amount the inevitable breaches take out of the bottom line is small enough to just be written off as the cost of doing business.

Why would any rational manager prioritize security when those are the facts on the ground? It just represents money spent and agility lost, without a corresponding upside big enough to justify it. (Except for your ability to sleep at night.) The only way forward is for something to change that shifts the balance of incentives for all players towards security, rather than away from it.

My pet proposal to accomplish this is to create something along the lines of Underwriters Laboratories (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UL_(safety_organization)). Have an independent third party that promulgates standards for security, and can certify products that comply with those standards as secure. Give that certification a fancy logo that the products can use in their marketing, to give customers a way to look for products that comply with the standards. Work with insurers so that companies that follow the standards are understood to be lower-risk than those that do not. Etc.
> That's not eugenics, that's not mean, that's not classism, that's not racism, that's common sense.

it is the material conditions of classism, racism, and hate that causes the poverty in the first place, with the intentional outcome of making the lower class suffer, so the rich can have more. this IS eugenics. you say it isn't, but in the preceeding paragraph, straight up say that poor people have no business having kids. unbelievable.
Block.One Plans Leaked in German Media: Crypto Twitter on EOS?
In big cities and successful metropolitan regions I'd agree. It's a consequence of how quickly housing costs have outgrown all other costs in cities that the "one-third rule" doesn't really apply anymore. On the other hand if you live in a small town, it's quite possible to make 3x your rent and still be struggling.
I wrote a paper on pretty much that problem: "Evaluation of Streaming Aggregation on Parallel Hardware Architectures", https://www.scott-a-s.com/files/debs2010.pdf

Conclusion in brief: in order to "win" when trying to use an off-board accelerator, you need to look at each byte transferred more than once. If you only look at a byte once to compute your result, then it's going to be faster to just do the computation on the CPU.

The reason: the up-front cost of transferring that byte is high. The win comes from reusing that byte many times in the massively parallel architecture on the accelerator.
Even setting aside the electronics, the physical socket is an order of magnitude more expensive. A lot of budget phones still use MicroUSB purely for cost reasons, because that $1 of BoM cost can be better used elsewhere.
ctrl+f for phenylephrine.

That was my first thought.
An API is more than a table of contents. When I write a method and give it a name and define what parameters it accepts, that is just as much part of the code as the inner workings of the method itself. I'm not a big fan of copyrighting in general but I am struggling to see understand how the code that defines an interface is separate from the rest of the code.
This is awesome. Even after the class I found it so hard to do this and this trick is going to really help. Thanks for sharing it!
I have a friend whose story was similar: she found grad school extremely hard because it was the first time she had to work at success.

I probably would have fallen into the gifted category, had I not been homeschooled. I was pushed to excel in several different areas, some of which I was less gifted at than others, causing at least a nominal work ethic to be inculculated.

Math was always relatively easy for me to conceptually understand: I thus nicely got a C in Calc 1 for understanding concepts and failing to really be able to grind out the work properly. Grades improved after that, let's just say. :)

I also think that excessive success in the childhood years and early teens often skews with people's heads and they often don't do well later on. A lot of stories about gifted kids going mediocre. Terry Tao is an interesting counterexample to that, though.

Anyway, I think the big takeaway is that Grits is a key character attribute for success.
Care to clarify?

My understanding was that a 95% confidence interval implies the chance of a false positive of 5%.

From http://www.mit.edu/~6.s085/notes/lecture2.pdf

"In particular, we can ask for an
interval around ˆp for any sample so that in 95% of samples, the true mean p will lie inside
this interval. Such an interval is called a confidence interval."
(who go through estrus cycles) Fifty percent of the drug recipients will go through estrus cycles. Isn't that materially important knowledge about drug interactions we need to know about? If a drug affects the estrus cycle, or was affected by the estrus cycle, wouldn't women want to know about that?
I generally agree with your sentiment but I think you're going a little too far when you say poor people shouldn't have kids. Yes, a disturbing amount of the time it just results in them leaching off society but most of them turn out fine. Nobody is ever "financially prepared" to have kids anyway. They suck up all your money if you let them.
It's not so much "these attitudes are fine" as it's "these attitudes were the norm in the 1920s". Complaining about Sanger's beliefs on eugenics is a bit like complaining about Washington's on black people - abhorrent today, but hardly surprising given the time.

As with Washington, trying to malign today's Planned Parenthood via normal-at-the-time opinions of its founder is dishonest and misleading.

edit: Regarding clairvoyants, I'm not clear on your argument. Any determination of "defectives" that works early enough to use abortion against it is equally usable prior to pregnancy, permitting contraception. Eugenicists certainly advocated for sterilization - Georgia still has laws on the books permitting it, and adjusted them in the 1980s to pass SCOTUS muster.
But, if the point of transgenderism is to break people free from the socialized gender construct, which is stated to falsely equate gender with biology, isn't it falling even deeper into the trap to believe that being transgender entails biologically alteration? Such surgery sounds very counter to the gender != sex mantra, and suggests the transgender individual is not being true to themselves and is instead internalizing the very system that is oppressing them. As such, "transgender surgery" should be seen as a tool of oppression, not a tool of freedom, and we should do our best to fight against it.

What? Robots taking jobs is definitively a net positive. The only problem is that the displaced workers get the short end of the stick because of the decisions that management made. If the job loss was somehow compensated in a way that makes people want their jobs to be automated then everyone would win.
- The `Query.variables` prop. The docs don't explain very well when exactly the network call will be reinvoked, especially if the graphql query has variables with default values (there's an open issue about this with little activity: https://github.com/apollographql/react-apollo/issues/2715).

- The `Query.skip` prop. I'd like to know all of the expected behavior for when this prop is used. For example, I've noticed that when skip is true then the render prop function's `data` object is always undefined, even though the data is there! Also when skip is true and you manually trigger a refetch elsewhere (for example when running a mutation with `refetchQueries` specified), the `onCompleted` prop doesn't get called, even though the query was in fact refetched and completed.

Those are just recent things I've noticed. Also for the record I don't mean to sound like I'm throwing shade. I appreciate all open source work and the Apollo projects are massive open source contributions, so thank you :)
I don't mind in the slightest. Use any way you please.
