> that heroin is going to invariably screw you over in the long term

I understand that about 60% of heroin users can use it recreationally in the way you or I would have a few drinks then stop because we know our limit.

That figure came from a letter in mewscientist mag but I can't find it, so treat with skepticism. I get the impression its reputation for certain and terrible addiction is the from anti-drugs campaigns and they aren't reliable, by design.
It depends what they're using. Often, the cross platform libraries are abstractions that just call the native functions for that platform. Even in that case it's difficult because differences to that platform can cause minor layout issues.

There are cases where a custom, bespoke application for each platform is warranted, but that is rare. It's a continuum between the custom, bespoke and a UI/color scheme completely custom to your app.

Going for "toy" code to production ready is hard.

Also, rust already have several options for concurrency/parallelism that are more idiomatic.

I wonder what effects these foods have on the microbiome and health? I read an article this morning about two studies that linked ultraprocessed foods to cardiovascular problems and early death: https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2019/6/11/18652653/di... It seems like these foods fit in the category of "ultraprocessed", unfortunately.

Me, for one. I was burdened by about 80 pounds of excess weight before I realized that I had no safe level of consumption for carbohydrate-rich foods.
I'm curious, why do you get out of bed in the morning?
I'm not sure what you mean. If I go to photos.google.com, I can easily select a range of photos (Shift-Click to select an entire range) and download them all as a zip folder.
I prefer it over regular pasta because it adds flavor and has a better texture for my tastes. Nutrition is just a bonus.

Datomic https://www.datomic.com/ a not-sql cloud database with a robust and principled information model competitive in use case with rdbms. In agreement with your parent, Datomic is very different and most commonly used from the Clojure programming language which rejects similarly much mainstream thought/practices. https://clojure.org/ https://clojure.org/about/state The talk Database as a Value https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Datomic-Database-Value/ is a good starting point to understand the flaws in relational model implementations (it has been argued on r/clojure that Datomic more faithfully implements relational algebra than RDBMS does – https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/99f4ln/datomic_is_...)

Counter-intuitively Datomic is in violent agreement with /u/rqmedes where he said "A better alternative is having the data, data model and business logic tightly bound in one place. Not separated in multiple "tiers"" – Datomic inverts/unbundles the standard database architecture such that the cached database index values are distributed out and co-located with your application code such that database queries are amortized to local cost. Immutability in the database is how this is possible without sacrificing strong consistency, basically if git were a database you end up at Datomic.

No bar is going to install a cell, gps or wifi jammer to avoid a small fine... as doing so would put them out of business.

Well like I said below I maybe hoping for something that doesn't exist. I assume enough legal action has taken place to figure this out but I wouldn't really know. However, I agree that the application of the punishment rather than the punishment itself can be cruel and usual (depending on how the punishment is defined). I fail to see how the second case example relates if the first is true.
What is cruel or unusual seems unrelated to the crime severity because cruel and unusual is a separate concept like the first example seems to show or so I thought. Crime severity and severity of the punishment should be related though.
This is why, in my opinion, solitary confinement can be called might be cruel and unusual. It's categorically different from prison.
I hope any of that makes sense.

Here are ingredients of a regular burger:

I avoid seed oils and starches. Otherwise the Beyond Burger ingredients don't sound too bad. But clearly it's a highly processed food product compared to ground beef. That will also be true of a fish version compared to fish. The artificial versions will be relatively deficient in other nutrients like B-12, omega 3 fats, vitamin D, heme-iron, zinc and some amino acids.

In terms of nutrition rather than ethics it looks like an inferior substitute.

I think you can already do that via the "unvote" href that appears after voting--at least for upvotes; I almost never downvote, so I don't know if the reverse is true. I believe it is, though.
I have a nightmare story regarding this. I went on a two-week vacation and took a bunch of photos, and unknowingly had the "automatically sync on WiFi" option turned on. Well, at one point in time I did intentionally enable that, but forgot since I hadn't used the Google Photos app in over a year. Anyway, I get back from my vacation and realize I haven't received a personal email in the last 10 days. It took me a while to figure out Google Photos used up all my Drive storage, which then caused ALL my emails to silently bounce. No message or warning from Google that I had reached my storage limit, and of course there was no way to recover my lost emails.
How is this different from what happened with OxyContin and the like —- which when made widely available and widely prescribed, resulted in a massive increase in consumption, overdoses, and deaths.
I think that depends on the process. Is it removing nutrients, replacing them with mostly additives and fillers to improve taste color and texture? What are they derived from?

Aria Presto: Making table scan more efficient
Just look at the cost of gaming GPUs (including the costs of watercooling?). Not to mention the fact that CPU can have a slower upgrade cycle than GPU (since a CPU upgrade will usually mean upgrading the motherboard, possibly the RAM, who knows what else while you're there), so getting a top GPU is not at all cheap in the long run.

No it's not worth it IMO, but some people spend crazy amounts chasing a few extra fps.
In my experience builds love parallelism, and even get singificant improvements at 4T per CPU, so a 16/32 like this should be great.

IPv6 (L3) still uses MAC addresses because it relies on frames (L2) to encapsulate the packet. For example, the multicast address ff02::1 is really just 33:33:00:00:00:01. It allows for the coexistence of multiple network layer (L3) protocols.
Right, but those components typically don't have unchecked access to the rest of the system via back doors.

I agree, what does 'processed' and 'ultraprocessed' mean in practice? Are there objective categorizations besides distinguishing between organic food and everything else?
So in theory an archive.org type entity could continue seeding old versions of websites, allowing you to go back in time, and it could be verified that it was an older version? If so, that's a good compromise.

Interestingly enough, Dropbox is/was popular on iOS because of being the closest thing to a filesystem.

With iOS13 this also erodes, but going against the trend was beneficial for them up to this point.

Very well, fans, here it is,

- the internet started as defense technology commissioned by the government (you have that right), which was then taken up by universities and then everyone else and developed and grown into what we know now. And yes, it was wild: no government rulings, no taxing, no policing.

- Your ISP is bothering you and you don't have other options? Better get used to it, because once the government starts regulating them, less and less companies will want to go into the ISP business (large ISP companies already have expensive lobbyists in Washington, don't tell me you thought these government regulations are made 100% for your benefit).

- last time I checked, it was The Government who was dumping toxic waste in the rivers <https://nyti.ms/2KdqoWL>. Anyway, the government took over the rivers long ago. Try to go fishing to your nearest river or lake without a permit, see what happens.

- I have bad news. Almost everyone is selling your personal data. Your bank, your credit card company, that place you take your car for service, that charity you donate to... you name it. Don't think your ISP won't do it because someone passed a law, they will always find a way to work around that law. You have to defend yourself, there's always VPN for instance. Just don't be so innocent as to think that because they passed a law now every little thing is going to be alright.

A Delta spokesperson told the Guardian: “Ms Avery’s position on unionization had nothing to do with our decision to end her employment.

Yeah, I wonder what the conflict of interest is here.
I think in a conventional war then yeah NATO clearly has the upper hand except that niggling doubt of "Do we really want to kill tens of thousands of soldiers belonging to a country with enough ICBM's to end global civilization".

The risk/reward is out of whack, the US and it's allies aren't going to risk it for a non-NATO allied country (even if we promised that we would after the cold war) because of that.

Since WWII the US and Soviets (then Russia) have never thought even a limited conventional war, it's always been by proxy or the odd pilot never people is US army uniforms shooting at people in Russian uniforms (or vice versa).

It has the capacity to go so very very wrong.
Your body will break down protein and fat into carbs if it isn't supplied with enough carbs. Your body has developed a mechanism to make carbs from other things because it needs carbs so badly. It would seem folly to think we should rely on this round-about disaster-mitigation mechanism instead of just supplying it with what it wants, which is partly carbs.

The Microsoft products are probably mostly being used by admin staff rather than Nobel Prize winners at CERN. They probably have the canteen menu typed up in Word and the receptionists using Microsoft Outlook. Then in the visitor centre some automated Powerpoint presentations for passing five year olds to learn about the atom.

The point of an educational discount is that it is for the core educational stuff. I doubt that they are running Microsoft Access on any of those supercomputers and I doubt that 49 Petabytes of data goes onto NTFS formatted storage.

They probably got sold an enterprise educational deal decades ago when Microsoft were trying to indoctrinate all students to learn their products. I mean, why use LaTeX when you can do it in half the time in Word? It was good at the time.

CERN were well placed to do everything with the WWW and have a culture of it, to be doing things the Chromebook way where you don't have desktop software any more. Maybe Microsoft have given the kick they need and maybe peripheral admin things should be paying for Microsoft software since these subsidiary operations are not hardcore research.
I created an instagram scraper in python. It doesn’t require selenium and co it just uses http requests. That makes it worlds faster and perfect for multithreading

While I'm against the drug war, I wonder what career drug dealers (and everyone who's part of their economy) would do if drugs were legalized and commoditized.

Sci-fi writers, most notably Vernor Vinge, have played with Metric Time [1] of the modern sort of being entirely second-based.

It's interesting because it particularly exposes interesting flaws in using metric prefixes (that are sometimes also talked about in the world of grams where kilograms are the closer unit to most "human applicability" and that a more human scale would possibly have more prefixes near kilogram than gram). Particularly the magnitude jump from a kilosecond (16.7 minutes, about a quarter hour) to megasecond (11.6 days, nearly a fortnight).

I've heard fun proposals that if Metric Time based on seconds were to be more useful on human timescales to bring back the deceased Metric prefix myria- [2]. A myriasecond is 167 minutes or just less than three hours (2.78). Maybe a prefix for the next digit as well (10^5) which would be just more than a day, by about an eighth of a day (27.8 hours).

TL;DR version: CERN used Microsoft software under academic licencing terms, Microsoft revoked the terms and created a 10x cost increase (and budget hole). CERN is going to replace the software with something else.

This is such a beautiful, real life, example of the Piracy Paradox that I've kept a copy in my Evernote database.

The Piracy Paradox is this; Vendor A counts the number of copies of their software that are running in a region/venue/company, multiplies by the list price of that software, then subtracts the revenue received and comes up with a number they are "losing due to piracy."

The assumption, which the media often simply buys into, is that if the software were impossible to obtain without paying list price, the vendor would receive much more more money. However, the reality is that if you could make the software impossible to obtain, then the revenue received would simply be zero. It wouldn't be purchased because it is priced above the market value of its utility to the customer.

The result is that the "piracy numbers" that are bandied about, whether it is for CAD software, DVD movies, or Computer Games, is overstated by three or even four orders of magnitude.

Validation that this effect was a real effect has been proven multiple times, the two most famous examples have been the "99 cent single" price of iTunes and the watch all you want video subscription service of NetFlix. In both cases, the arrival of a pricing system that more accurately reflected the value perception of the consumer, whether it was that albums/CDs were too expensive to buy for the one or two songs you really cared about, or that DVDs were over priced for the occasional viewing, better pricing schemes reduced the amount of digital content that was used outside the terms of a use license dramatically.

The challenge for vendors is that the products they sell just aren't worth the same amount to every possible consumer. There are tools available to evaluate the elastic cost value of a fungible service but implementing them is challenging.

I am really surprised that Microsoft didn't negotiate something that would give them some revenue, as it stands the success of this effort will reduce revenue from CERN from what it was to nearly zero it seems. I'm guessing there was a cost increase between 2x and maybe 5x that would have not kicked off this effort. And of course a number of large laboratories will see the success of CERN and then they too will eliminate Microsoft as a cost item in their budget (ideally to spend more on the science, but sadly that isn't always the case).
