That interview was really interesting. She mentioned light-bulb moments but her description of the skin biome really hit for me. I think she is right that the next 10 years of body science is going to focus on bacteria biome in guts AND skin.

She also hit the nail on the head about how men shower. I cover every inch of my body with soap at least once a day. I have one soap for my body, one for my hair and another for my face. I believed that is how I'm supposed to do it, but now that I think of it I don't remember being taught. I've never thought "What is the science of self-cleaning?"

It is strange the taboos we have around critical aspects of our life. I never talk to my friends about their cleaning regimes just like I don't have serious discussions about defecation. It's like these things are "dirty" so we avoid even talking about them. Yet it seems to me that skin health and gut health are both equally essential to overall health.

Don't know why you are getting down voted. I have the same machine and use it for development. Works just fine for me, and I have a couple of VMs running with my stack on it.

Merriam webster, 3: racial prejudice or discrimination

Seems pretty simple to me. I could be sarcastic and snarky too, but I'm not going to. If you've got a reason to prefer your definition, I'm genuinely open to being convinced other wise. Affirmative action is, by that definition, racist. Do you have a different definition which is for some reason preferable which states otherwise?

>RF Seismograph showed an increase in noise on 80 meters some 13 hours beforehand, as well as some propagation changes on 40 and 30 meters — low before the quake and increasing in its wake.

Hours. Hours beforehand. Having that much preparation would be life-saving. Especially for us living near the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
GFCI won't protect against a conductor shorting the neutral and hot. It WOULD trip if the outlet were installed with the ground up,and a flexible conductor, say a necklace, fell between the plug and the receptacle.

Yes, recessed or covered receptacles would be a better option, for some values of better. I mean, most people wouldn't accept covered receptacles in their living space because they are "ugly" and would prevent many pieces of furniture from being placed in front of the receptacles (which by code are spaced every 12 feet at the most). And recessed receptacles are going to be a tight fit in most existing residential boxes. Forget smart devices fitting recessed, it's hard enough to fit those into regular boxes once you add some wire nuts back there...

So, yes, there may be some more effective options, but installing devices ground-up reduces a not uncommon hazard without resorting to changing out boxes or adding covers to everything.

This was my exact experience as well. I had to kill/restart FF every few days because it would randomly start eating CPU (this was on Win 10). Because of this I used Chrome until they disabled back navigation via backspace and forced alt-left instead. This pissed me off enough to try FF again, which was right around when Quantum came out. I've never looked back.
I wasn't familiar with etags, so for anyone else curious I'll save you the google search:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/ET...

>If the resource at a given URL changes, a new Etag value must be generated. Etags are therefore similar to fingerprints and might also be used for tracking purposes by some servers. A comparison of them allows the determination of whether two representations of a resource are the same. They might also be set to persist indefinitely by a tracking server.
This is an old post, but in 2009 about 1/3 of FF users had extensions installed. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2009/08/11/how-many-firefox-... Without newer data, you'll have to guess whether the new addon model increased or decreased that fraction.

> The problem with this is that it misses the point of most cli programs, which is that they are to be composed with other programs.

That's not true, CLI programs would still exist even if they could not be composed. And I would guess that if you counted how many of our commands include 1, 2, or 3 executables, the 1 column would be the biggest by far.

One of the major headaches of CLI programs is that they're hard to learn interactively because there's no starting point. You have to read the docs. The point of a GUI command builder is that it gives you something interactive to play with to start to learn how the CLI commands work. The point is not to do everything through the builder, the point is to bootstrap people to the point where they no longer need it.

Also, there's no reason a GUI command builder couldn't also show you how to do composition.

I think 'hacker' is too generic. Fiddling with the OS is just one form of hacking. Not every hacker enjoys doing that. One aspect of hacking the OS is dealing with the breakage when you end up with a system state that isn't part of some devs text matrix. I think a 'Pro' or 'Workstation' or similar badge should mean that the system is conservative from a UX standpoint, and delivers on performance and reliability. Maybe Apples gamble was that this new UX would cause a revolution in productivity.
While Apple's laptop product lineup is way simpler now this is a clear form factor regression. I hope this is just a blip until the/a new 12".
What is software engineering anyway? I've heard this term for almost 40 years, and still wonder what it really means since everyone has a different idea.
"Resources were placed on this earth for the advancement of humankind"

What kind of argument is this? Is this the Christian argument that God gave us fossil fuels and all the rest, therefore mine, drill, and "burn baby, burn"? I'd think Christians would see this GIFT of life and a planet as part of a charge to take care of it.

The evidence-based view is that we live on a rocky spheroid which condensed from space-dust and asteroids forged in long-gone stars. There is no "placement" of resources, nor is there any inherent purpose to using or not using them.

I'm all for advancement of society, but it's hardly regression to not eat meat, reduce travel emissions, or reduce housing costs. Many people live very low-footprint lifestyles, it's possible and quite do-able if you're efficient and non-consumerist.
Well I don't consider the Norman invaders of Britain and Ireland either British or English (or Irish!). That necessarily comes later. It took 300 years for the ruling class to even share the same language, sticking to Norman French.... English were the subjugated who were tending the field and cow for producing the ruler's french beef (bœuf). They still thought themselves French until the wars of succession.

Danish adventures don't really count either, even with the Danelaw in parts of Britain.

So we have to get to the time of the early English adventures around the 1600s for it to make a lot of sense, though it certainly does before British being a concept with the Scottish Act of Union uniting Britain.

TL;DR it's complicated. :)

If it's an introduction to software engineering then I think leaving out software craftsmanship or functional programming, etc is not necessarily a sin.

> removing individual snowflakes from a mountain won't an avalanche stop.

That is exactly the point of the analogy. One single snowflake doesn't prevent the avalanche and therefore one single snowflake is not to blame. However if enough snowflakes are removed the avalanche is stopped. Similarly no single person is going to fix climate change. The only way we see results is if enough people band together to make changes.
I've only been on Amtrak a few times, all on the U.S. East Coast, but have had perfectly fine experiences. I can imagine that someone who uses Amtrak a lot would have seen more reason to dislike it, or maybe other locations are worse.
You can always do the transfer via metro (and there will be at most one change). The metro isn't very well suited if you travel with a lot of luggage though.
> The only other positive tech that RH owns that I can think of is Ansible. But they didn't create it. They bought it.

Basically the 95 Corridor (Boston to Washington D.C.) is accessible via public transportation and a few isolated cities are manageable (SF, Chicago, Portland, etc) within proximity to the city but the rest of the United States Requires a Car... and yes it sucks.

Ergo, Amtrak could be useful depending on where you are... otherwise you'll want to get a personal vehicle.

The reason I posted this story is because of its fascinating details, and also because it highlights the sophisticated methods with which intelligence agencies plant and spread propaganda.

The most interesting part of the article was the description of how the story spread. It started as a phony "bulletin" (disguised to read as a real intelligence report), then got posted on an obscure website, then got picked up by alt-right groups, then by Fox News, and finally promoted by the White House as a real thing.

Touch Bar as a concept is a good idea, but it should be an accessory, not a built-in thing.

Why hasn't Mozilla put out a clear statement that Fennec is EOL'd and that the replacement definitely won't be pushed out until it's ready (including support for extensions)? It would go a long way with users if Mozilla could just clearly state that Firefox for Android will be skipping versions 69 through at least ~73 due to Fenix not being ready for public consumption. Stating that extension support is not part of the MVP and failing to set a clear deadline for getting that feature back is not reassuring.

For the purpose of generating electricity, I would expect very low energy from these fields in any localized area - and thus no efficient way to capture a significant amount of that energy. It would be more or less comparable to generating electricity from existing background radio noise.

As for the purpose of weakening earthquakes, this energy may as well have already left the system - it's propagating away from where the problem is. This article is like saying that exhaust from a car engine decreases air quality. You could harvest that exhaust but it won't affect the engine. If somehow you did have enough pressure and containment to keep the exhaust from leaving the engine at all, that would have some effect. But if we could do that EM fields over all of California, I think that would have bigger effects on the planet than weakening the occasional earthquake. That's like a Star-Trek-level of control over a planet.

I'm a bit disappointed and surprised by this news. Agree with everything you said about the price being ridiculous and the performance being inadequate, but it was all about the form factor - what a gorgeous machine for travel-friendly computing.

I always viewed it as a v0.1 of the future of their light travel-friendly laptop model, and fully expected it to receive incremental performance upgrades and eventually replace the Air. I was hoping that in a few more years, I'd be able to buy one of these as a complement for travel or maybe even to replace (depending on the weight / performance tradeoff) my 13-inch MacBook Pro.

I assume, since they only gave it a minor upgrade once in like 3/4 years and the price was pretty ridiculous, that they just couldn't make it work. I hope, as you say, they can figure it out, perhaps using their own ARM CPUs, and eventually relaunch this model or continue making the Air thinner and lighter with the same performance.
