After some back-and-forth, I've found that Keto is best for short periods of time, e.g., 1-3 month periods. Physical activity can feel quite strenuous, especially when you first start Keto, and your body isn't adapted to using fat as a fuel source.

It's an incredibly effective tool to help you re-imagine the composition of your diet. For example, after my first time doing Keto, I seriously considered which carb sources I wanted to re-introduce to my diet.

On one end, you have short-chained carbs (sugars), and on the other end, complex carbs. You also have processed foods (which have fortified micronutrients), and whole foods (naturally occurring micronutrients). I now stick to whole foods with complex carbs. You'll get more fiber this way, and complex carbs are a slower-burning food source that keep you feeling fuller, longer. I've re-introduced carbohydrates from things like beans, quinoa, and the occasional potato.

Like anything, Keto is a tool. It should not be considered a silver bullet since we don't know the long-term health consequences of long periods of Ketogenesis.
The last thing I'd want to do is give Google even more dominance.
At least on Linux, I've found Chromium to be dramatically more responsive than Firefox every time I've tried switching (since about the time Chromium became usable on X11). Firefox still drops frames for me, which I find to be exceptionally jarring; and in combination with a UI that I'm not really that fond of, a backlog of basic standards compliance issues that I've been burned by as a developer (and as a user), and generally less-useful built-in fine-grained script and cookie controls, it's never really made sense for me to use Firefox.

Now I use Brave, and it's cool, it also encourages you to use interesting stuff like IPFS Companion, which I didn't know existed for Chromium until I switched to Brave.

I think even if Google ruins Chromium, it'll continue in the open somewhere else, and still be better than Firefox at the things that are important to me.
What to do if you find a nuclear-powered cardiac pacemaker
I would add 'unforgiving use of linters' to that, where 'unforgiving' generally means that straying even a hair's breadth from the default settings is forbidden.

Especially so when you can't adjust those defaults, thus making your post-listed code substantially more abstract and less readable than it would have been at first.

Many many things over the years, going all the way back to 1990 when I was at Encore dealing with all the dirty tricks they played to hobble competing NFS implementations, but that's not the point.

My real issue with them is hubris. There's a certain cadre of Sun alumni, highly visible on forums such as this, who would have us believe that they were absolutely always doing the best work on the most important problems. I think that denies credit to others who were doing work just as good on problems just as important, at companies which weren't driven into Oracle's arms by all the waste. Having known many of those people over the years - it's not for me to judge whether I'm one of them myself - I find that offensive. Sun just wasn't all that and the sooner we shed that particular piece of idol worship the better the industry will be.

Well, frankly, most Chinese I know will boil their water regardless of where they live. They do it in Australia and Singapore as well. Cultural norm?

I guess I'm not invested enough in the argument to dig up actual water pollution statistics but I'd be pretty surprised if Shanghai water was actually toxic.

> Shanghai on a bad day is pretty comparable to Blade Runner

I guess I've missed those days. I know Beijing can be hellish but most of my China experience is down south. I've never been to Wenzhou but I know Shenzhen very well and I can categorically tell you that air pollution in Bangkok is worse.

But look. The whole point of my comments has been to not generalise local data points to a whole country. As other commenters have mentioned, you can't drink the tap water in Flint, Michigan either - and that's in the so-called richest country on earth. LA smog is awful too. But that's just those places. The USA is huge. So is China.

As for Winne the Pooh - that's ridiculous. I read a good quote the other day: "the nation that is afraid of humiliation will soon humiliate itself" and I agree 100%. I'm not trying to defend China. I'm just trying to defend fact.

BOOM uses the rocketchip ALU, which uses the Chisel `+`, which probably compiles down to the verilog `+`, which probably gets synthesized to the appropriate width adder in the standard cell library of the vendor (e.g. TSMC or Xilinx).

in a unit-test scenario, you are writing tests based on the language and its properties.

he is applying risk based assessment which tests are required to provide a high quality implementation.

If a system misbehaves you will catch in higher level tests in the test pyramid eventually.

The bug was found regarding the null pointer, he can and should add a dedicated unittest to reproduce the issue when he fixes the bug, since there is evidence that his assessment was wrong. This is not bad but usually quite efficient if this doesn't occur often or has a large impact on the system's user base.

In a software solution you can't prove 100% correctness - neither through "standard" type-systems nor through tests.

I've been using btrfs on my home NAS (a custom build) and on my Linux laptops with SSDs since 2012. I run Fedora on everything which I think helps because I've never been stuck on an old kernel with old, stupid bugs. Only the freshest bugs for me!

The NAS had two WD Red drives fail over the years with bad blocks. Not at the same time. They were detected and I replaced them with new bigger drives. Since 2012 I added more drives until now it is at 6 drives in RAID10: 4x6 TB and 2x4 TB.

I've had out of space errors on my laptops which I had to repair by adding more storage so I could successfully rebalance. Stealing the swap partition worked great for that.

Never lost any data or had any corrupt files.

Also, I always build with quality Gold standard PSUs, ECC RAM, and run my systems always plugged into an APC UPS. So I've never tried to recover a system that crashed after a lightning storm, built with WD Green drives in external USB enclosures plugged into a $2 power-strip and an HP "desktop" built out of an old laptop motherboard and the cheapest PSU HP could dig out of the trash pile.

Ask HN: Conspiracy theory – What motivation is behind Let's Encrypt?
Some (e.g. https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/01/15/against-dnssec) concluded that DNSSEC/DANE's real role would be the replacement of the TLS CA system, granting DNS-controlling entities (i.e. governments) the same cryptographic authority as CAs. Let me initiate a discussion about something that may sound absolutely ridiculous: what if Let's Encrypt was founded for the exact same long-run purpose?

The Internet Security Research Group maintaining Let's Encrypt seems quite independent. But Let's Encrypt is free. It already has 0.1% market share (https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/ssl_certificate/all) despite being on the market for only 5 years. Isn't this simply too good to be true & trusted?

50 tests that fail 1% of the time will cause almost half of your builds to fail. And the odds of two failing in a row are about one in four. As the number of builds per day increases, the probability of a given day having multiple failed builds in a row (causing you to look closely at the build and commit logs) approaches 100%
> one is known

Only if the software you're buying meets all of your current and future requirements, and is maintained indefinitely. If new requirements come up, they're at least not any more helpful than in-house resources (unless a lot of people suddenly have the same requirements at the same time); and if they stop maintaining it, there's a good chance you literally can't do anything about that.

You just have a different set of unknowns, one of which seems more manageable (which is probably why it is more popular), and probably is more manageable in some subset of use cases.
It would be interesting to see how these advices change or remain the same across cultures.

In such situations having a backup power such as a generator for critical systems is common.

The Inter Planetary File System has the potential to radically change content hosting to become truly decentralized. This report names some of the most pressing barriers to widespread adoption of ipfs.

In my opinion the biggest issue is terrible documentation on ipfs.io (as noted by the report). The "Getting Started" page fails to explain the basic structure of ipfs and uses jargon that isn't defined. This lack of documentation prevents even tech savvy users from adopting ipfs.
I remember Chrome being way better than anything else at the time. I switched from Firefox to Chrome during that period because it was just so fast and lightweight in comparison.

I used to go a lot to a particular restaurant which I really liked which I remember had a bad review about a rude waiter. The review described that waiter in detail, and despite going there all the time I never saw him there. The review said that waiter was really rude, but I've never seen anyone be rude there. The staff was always quiet, professional, and polite. I couldn't imagine any of them being rude to anyone. Maybe that waiter had once worked there, but got fired or quit and was no longer there, but the review remained.

After some years the restaurant closed for renovation, and when it reopened there were completely different people working there, and the food was way worse. It was probably sold or went under new management, though they kept the name. So all the reviews this place had gotten over the years were really no longer relevant, as it was effectively a new restaurant. Yet all the Yelp reviews remained.
There seems to be two major camps when it comes to weight loss: this confused thinking of lowering fats to lose weight (as you mention), and conversely, CICO (calories-in, calories-out).

In Western diets, it is all too easy to binge on processed carbs. For people struggling to manage weight, that is usually the main issue. Diets such as Keto or Paleo tend to restrict processed foods which make it hard or nearly impossible to consume processed carbs.

Restrictions from these diets naturally lead to CICO. The body only cares to consume so much whole foods -- you can eat a very large quantity of vegetables before hitting an equivalent amount of calories from processed foods (like potato chips, etc). These diets are essentially an "easy" framework (easy conceptually, challenging in practice for some due to cravings) for following CICO and reducing calories.
Those companies generally have a technical ladder that runs parallel to the management ladder.

High-level engineers can have more influence within the company and often earn more than directors and VPs, and most developers who want to move up the ladder don't aspire to become a director or VP -- they'd rather be a Distinguished Engineer, Fellow, etc.

Re: there's robust literature on statins and it's settled. We're not talking about statin studies on CVD patients. We're talking about asymptomatic treatment. I'm not aware of any study that partitioned asymptomatic high-cholesterol individuals on underlying pathology, e.g., by CAC score, and then seeing if statins were of any benefit to the zero score group. That's because we wouldn't treat those individuals. Instead, all studies (used to argue for treatment of asymptomatic high-LDL) I'm aware of lump "high-risk" individuals together, give them all statins, and then say the outcome is improved for the whole group.

So on one hand, you argue the OP article is fatally flawed because the low-cholesterol group contains high-risk people given statins. On the other hand, you don't concede that the studies lumping all asymptomatic "high risk" individuals together suffer from the same issue. The EISNER study started with "an older population with baseline risk factors" and found 52% had CAC abnormality. I would be interested to see what percentage of asymptomatic high cholesterol people have CAC zero scores and would be treated with statins anyway under current guidelines.
Key quote from the article:

> Participants mostly gave themselves advice around relationships (“Don’t marry her. Do. Not. Marry. Her.”), education (“Go to college”), selfhood (“Be yourself”), direction and goals (“Keep moving, keep taking chances, and keep bettering yourself”), and money (“Save more, spend less”). These topics closely match the most common topics mentioned in research on people’s regrets.

> Most participants said that the advice they offered was tied to a pivotal event in their past, such as a time they were bullied, a relationship breakup, or an incident involving drink or drugs, and about half the time they had regret for what had happened. The timing of these pivotal events was most commonly between age 10 and 30 (consistent with research into the reminiscence bump – the way that we tend to recall more autobiographical memories from our teens and early adulthood).
Done right, educating people should lead to them being more productive and producing a richer society. Done right, it's an investment that produces more wealth than it costs.

Somewhere there's a point where it costs more than it produces, dependent on how much time the person will spend being a more-educated person before they die, and I expect also dependent on the precise education being imparted, but I'd be surprised if that line was where the free education cut-off currently is.
