Those you love are the same people that you’re telling other people to never trust. There’s also an intrinsic trust that we all place in people we have never met. Otherwise, you’d never be able to consume any food without wondering if either your neighbor or the random person at the bottling plant had poisoned it.

Life is rarely black and white, although it sure makes it simple to say it is. “Never say never, always avoid always”, etc.
While I found your article informative and interesting I think it only works in the very specific context of this assignment. Disallowing powerful language features/libraries means it's not a level playing field and thus not a fair comparison. Some languages standard libraries are tiny some are huge. Some languages have lots of advanced features. Eg. GP mentioned GADTs with which one can write type safe/correct by construction ASTs. In other words programs passing specific tests in a specific context does not imply they are comparable in terms of general correctness/robustness/maintainability (as you noted this re caught edge cases).
One of the great side-benefits of fasting is the amount of time saved on shopping, prepping, eating, and thinking about what to eat. It adds up to a significant amount of extra free time.

Agreed. The article takes way too long to get to the point. A blurb at the top would have been helpful.
It means that they are an easier target for intentional attacks, but less likely to be hit by some in-the-wild virus or ransomware.
The modern equivalent seems to be "People of New York" which of course is not focused on just the well-to-do and influential but still has the spirit of thinking that there's a story if you just ask.

I would also assume that there are microfilm copies of the Washington Post though perhaps the scan is actually of good quality. The newspapers are intentionally cheaply printed and this was a hundred years ago. It might have just looked like that.

> All diet is habit. We have the disadvantage of being born in a very rich country with food everywhere. And changing your eating desires takes years.

Yeah, very tough. I mean intermittent fasting is probably a great choice to improve health (even for people with normal weight). Calling being born in the US a "disadvantage" because there's too much food and wealth reads shrill.
Most of sci-fi paints a dark picture about a future with robots, though, and perhaps rightfully so.

> I wrote my thesis in 1993, and in that time period, my anecdotal observation was that the students who used LaTeX generally took longer to finish.

How much of that is down to the choice of tool, and how much is down to people choosing LaTeX being more likely to be more exacting about their work overall? I think it's difficult to a say.

(FWIW, I started my thesis in LaTeX, then gave up and used Word because it was faster - but only because I didn't know LaTeX prior)

I think my previous message isn't just semantics or irrelevant to what you wrote.

Free will doesn't exist in society and similar to humans. The will of society is a summation of all the preceding forces upon generations and without any real control. The result being what we experience today as our society we live in.

This all is important to understand because hidden in it is the knowledge of why we have what we have now. Also the fact of how important the majority operates, behaves and thinks.

Currently, the majority thinks contrary to the fundamental truth of how their life will play out. I hypothesis if this wasn't the case, our society would adapt and because there is something similar to moral judgement.

Basically, the collective unconscious of society. The objective is made with effort of being positive, fair and right. That's assumed with how the majority believes the justice system we experience today is right and without understanding the true knowledge making it neither positive, fair or right.

The incorrect perspectives of how reality is,.. collectively prevents evolution of society and because the collective unconscious is still fixed upon incorrect beliefs. Thus, I think I'm sort of answering your question.
Everybody has a grand story. Or rather, the people that have a story that would be considered grand are so far and few between that finding one requires more luck than going to a hotel lobby.

Also, I may be wrong, but so far my experience with top-class hotels has had them being just slightly fancier versions of their less esteemed counterparts.

I guess most of the value of the really high quality/more expensive hotels comes from limiting the guests to ones with a larger amount of money/influence and hopefully, higher class.
You’re taking it out of context. I highly doubt Penn would say it as you’re taking it. In the context he’s talking about weight related health.
I seem to recall hearing that the big(gest) benefit of a short eating window of something up to 8 or 9 hours is reduced markers for inflammation and that working out before breaking fast might be good as well. Can't find sources right now though.
Overall, it's great to be born in and live in a rich country. But as someone with 100lbs to lose, I would absolutely be much better off if inexpensive sugary food was more difficult to find.

I don't think C++ errors are bad any more. 2019 compilers generally produce very good error messages. The situations where you get into pages of template nonsense in an error are becoming fewer and further between all the time.
I don’t know about counterintuitive but the article says they don’t know where the savings are coming from. If we have the capacity to be more efficient why not always be more efficient? Presumably there’s some trade off.
The photo used in the article (and in most others about her) is of Simone Weil when she was thirteen. That's a little unusual except in the case of child film stars where it's obviously relevant. As suggested, Weil later went out of her way to dress in such a way as to minimize her physical attractiveness.
I'm no fan of fad diets, but a lot of Westerners have a real problem with simply not knowing what hunger feels like.

A lot of people are so habituated to large portions and frequent snacking that they're never meaningfully hungry, just somewhere on the spectrum between "reasonably sated" and "physically incapable of ingesting another morsel". Their eating habits have fundamentally broken the connection between food and sustenance. They've lost the ability to usefully distinguish between the body's natural hunger signals and other motivations for eating like habit, boredom and emotional self-soothing.

I'm not wholly persuaded by the claims made about the health benefits of intermittent fasting, but I do think it's a potentially useful psychological experience if you have a problematic relationship with food.
Yeah it's a great article, but on HN at least the headline should be something like "Cremation scam returns fake remains and sells body"

Everyone is talking about the fasting. It’s not just fasting.

“I went for a radical change in diet — whole-food plant-based, hard-core vegan, vegetables, no processed food, no sugar. And I limited my eating to just an hour a day, so I’m always fasting 23 hours.”
Do a well designed study and it won’t be “so called ‘alternative’” anymore. We may not know why various real medical interventions work but we have better than “I’ve got a cousin” evidence that they do.

Colleges have been hotbeds of protest for hundreds of years. Is it really true that something has fundamentally changed, or does it just seem that way because this time groups that we (ymmv) approve of are on the receiving end of the protests?

You’re right, and the voices of young people have sometimes made actual, positive changes to the world… look at Tiananmen Square, Kent State, Occupy Wall Street or the 1964 Berkeley protests (just off the top of my head).

It’s not who the recipients are that’s the problem, it’s that this protest appears to be predicated on a lie, and that destroying these people’s livelihood was not even a consideration to the school’s administration... that’s the problem. There’s no nobility in this kind of protest, and it will not make our world a better place to live in.

And does it matter how many times this has happened to become worrisome? This kind of activism is cropping up all over the place (social media, news, entertainment) so I’m not sure the focus should be on the number of colleges this has happened at, but rather the ethos that’s driving younger generations.
Fukushima successfully SCRAMed their reactor. Previously produced fission byproducts continued to decay after criticality was lost. While the thermal power of this decay process was an order of magnitude below peak, it greatly exceeded passive cooling capability. Without backup power to actively cool the core, meltdown is unavoidable: this decay heat is far more than enough to destroy the core.

This is a real risk for current reactor designs. Loss of backup power means a loss of any safe shutdown option.
I think the problem is that even though maybe a 100 different unique stories are crafted by dilligent, hard-working people, there are a 100,000 others that are just copied from those originals.

If you just take a casual glance through a few tens of articles, everything will look like a carbon copy.
The new code was successful. The next screen did not provide a benefit to me. It requested I work for the site owner's benefit. I still don't know what the product is and why it might solve one of my problems.

In the case of this scam, the market for cadavers incentivizes a fraud that is at least economic - the families could have been offered a higher price for the full body. Much more importantly, the Body Worlds type exhibits might actually incentivize murder and neglect, by creating a market for bodies of impovershed people in others' control. That is a very real harm even if the audience doesn't know where the bodies came from.
"Positive actions" is equivalent to "invasion"?

Also is the West stronger than China or not? I am confused. If it is, then this threat means nothing. If the China is stronger, then why bother to create the one country two systems policy? Also, if China was strong enough to threaten the West, why is Taiwan still an issue till today?

The reference in the article you posted says:

> not hesitate to take positive action to have Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories liberated” if the Brits allowed self-governance.

So the Chinese government doesn't want HK do declare independence instead of returning to China, and will take positive actions if that is about to happen.

Again, you and I don't agree on what the word "return" means.
tDCS devices work in a similar fashion to how Strength-Shoes work (strength-shoes.com): a person is very interested in improving X -- they see an ad from a company selling product 'Y' claiming they have mountains of evidence and testimonies that Y really does help to improve X -- the person buys Y, convinced that it will help, and uses it every day while practicing X harder than ever -- after a few months the person shows decent improvement at X -- the person thinks, "wow, Y really worked" and shares this testimonial with the world.

I hesitate to give anything resembling medical advice to someone whose medical details I do not know, and can't follow up with.

Speaking in broadest generalities:

1. The kidney stone risk a/w calcium carbonate intake has not been well-quantified. In a couple of studies of post-menopausal women the risk elevation was estimated to be in the range of a 20% bump. It has not been quantified any better in any other demographic segment, that I am aware of (nota bene: I'm not a nephrologist or urologist).

2. Timing-wise, the closer to the bulk of the meal the tums goes in, the better. You get calcium stones due to calcium oxalate crystal formation - when you take the calcium with food, the calcium is prone to crystallize with oxalate in the gut and get shat out, rather than both getting absorbed and crystallizing in the urinary tract.

3. The other risk of constant tums supplementation is an acid-base condition known as milk-alkali syndrome (a combination of hypercalcemia and metabolic alkalosis). Please, get your basic bloodwork done.

4. I can't speak more usefully without understanding what medications you're on and the timing of their administration. I'd strongly recommend having that discussion with a trusted physician, because this really shouldn't be your baseline condition, full stop. If you want to share more details so that I could suggest more specifically what sort of specialist you should see, if you don't currently have a trusted physician, let me know, and I'll arrange a way of sharing contact information.
Ask HN: What tools to grab slices of production?
Where I work, it has become infeasible to grab the entire production database for local testing, debugging or dev. Not to mention the regulatory climate changing which discourages this.

Ask HN: What's your product's log volume?
Hello!

I'd love to know what kind of volume your product(s) produce monthly, and if you're unhappy with your current logging solution I would love to know why, or any deal-breakers would be useful as well.

I've worked with a few startups which produce well over $6000/mo worth of logs alone, but I'm not sure how common this is. I've been working on a product to dramatically reduce the cost, and of course retain features and performance for huge volumes.

If you're interested in the product itself it's still a few months out, but I'll be mentioning it on Twitter (https://twitter.com/tjholowaychuk) and Medium (https://medium.com/@tjholowaychuk).

Appreciate your help!

Do you mean very slow by your general, working-world standards, or the standards you would expect from them given other signals (verbal fluency/evidence of understanding, education level)?

If the latter, it could well be perfectionism getting in the way (shoddy existing work doesn't discount this possibility). Encourage 'iterated failures at any old sub-problem' perhaps? It's the only way I know how to deal with all three of those problems myself.

When I was starting out with small-ish programs, IDEs gave me performance anxiety. So I'd write in bits and pieces in Evernote or notepad, converting plain descriptions into code, and only merge it all into a single file ready for execution right at the end.
Social Psychology Studies from “Experiments with People”
ChromeOS is based on Gentoo, is it not?
I have a PhD in physics and worked at CERN (which is mentioned in the article).

The way math and physics was taught at school vs university makes a world of difference. You leave high school without a basic understanding of science, yet you had to learn what schroedinger equation was.

Then you do not understand what kWh on you power bill means and how this is related to your lamp or keetle.

If math and physics was taught with pragmatism and not the idiotic idea that everyone needs to know everything then we would have more people interested in science.

Same for coding taught at school. You start with data structures. WTF? I do not care what a dict is before I can imagine a useful usage case.

I taught my kids to write code with a lot of handwaving first, than with a lot "you go get what this means later" and now they code. They are not big fans but it will be peanuts for then to go through coding curriculum at school. All it took were two evenings and a bit of minecraft.
Understand that this disagreement is over definitions/interpretations, not statistics.

The question is whether the populations are separated into heterogeneous cultural communities, or rather are integrated into a more homogenous society.

In my experience (having spent effectively all of my >40 years living in Melbourne) is that it's a bit of both, but that cultural disharmony is not a problem.
This is interesting, what tools are available to measure one's blood sugar and chart it throughout the day? I find it's pretty inconvenient to measure and report it accurately enough to get these trend lines with my regular meter.
Here's the thing. I don't doubt that since the controversies with the MAX earlier this year, a great deal many people at Boeing are taking a hard look at everything around them and figuring out how to do better.

I'm also sure that this article could be embellishing the facts. It's entirely possible that the very smart people who think about aviation engineering all day are supremely convinced that some of the digital tests can absolutely replace physical tests that were in place for decades. I'm not even remotely qualified enough to offer an opinion on that, so I won't.

So here is my question. Boeing is a very large company beholden to shareholders, and kept in check by a declining number of other checks and balances. Should we, the public, trust that Boeing will pay close enough attention to maintaining safety as an utmost priority? Or should we be demanding that more oversight and regulation are put in place?
He starts by saying Go Red for Women claimed that _heart disease_ kills more women than men - they haven't made that claim.

He links a chart that talks about CVD, but uses that to talk about misleading stats for heart disease. CVD includes stroke, and stroke kills more women than men.

He also says (and this is transparently bullshit)

> In what can only be described as a landslide victory for the matriarchy, men turning 35 are half as likely to make it to 45 as their female counterparts. The same dismal statistic awaits men who make it to 45, and those who make it to 55. Inexplicably the messaging on cardiovascular disease somehow white-washes all of this.

In general, when one person is attempting to "debunk" statistics from government level health statistical organisations (and here he's arguing with CDC-NCHS) they need to be careful with their definitions (he isn't, see the CVD point above), and they need to be really careful with their numbers (he isn't, he's choosing ways to change the data to fit his narrative, rather than using standard methods).

In order to become rich, you need to be very focused on the goal. This means that you're either naturally very single-minded, or you've managed to prune other interests, doubts, thoughts from your head, and just executed mercilessly for years. In either case, this makes you a rather one-dimensional person. Additionally, successful people tend to be in always-be-selling mode, so it's super-hard to have an honest conversation with them.
Amazon S3 Update – SigV2 Deprecation Period Extended and Modified
The kernel is not built with clang as that only works with ARM architectures right now (the Android kernel supports it, but the mainline kernel does not).
That’s neat but the large differentiation seems to be PGO+LTO. As pointed out below both of Google’s distributions of Linux are optimized that way (actually with AutoFDO/SamplePGO+ThinLTO), but I don’t think there is a community distribution that is properly optimized. It could be significantly better.
Userland has been built with clang since 7.0. The kernels of some Android devices (Pixel 2/3 for example) are built with clang but seems like most still use GCC.
