Nah they feel great. On the occasion something happens like I hang out near a fire and they get really smelly I just air them out for a day and it's back to 100%.
One thing I don't understand from the article is whether they took into consideration galaxy movements. Given that this is a 3.6bn years old signal wouldn't it be safe to assume that the place we can pinpoint now as the originator might not be the same it was back then?
Yep!

Rust has a few "rules of three" that appear again and again. This is an instance of there being three kinds of types: T, &T, and &mut T. That is, owned, borrowed, and mutably borrowed. In most examples of this, "T" is the same thing in all places, that is, i32, &i32, &mut i32, but in this case, "str" is built into the language. So you have String, &str, and &mut str. The naming is slightly off, because you're coming into the conflict of String being a standard library type, and str being a language type. We almost unified them before 1.0, but there wasn't a ton of benefit.

The point is, yes, it is a bit confusing at first, you're totally right. I actually re-did the entire table of contents of The Rust Programming Language to re-focus them on strings due to this. But you're also right that after some practice, it's a non-issue that you never really spend mental effort on.

The trick is, how many people will be willing to spend that time? Can we reduce that time? Time will tell :)
Then cities have to radically change. I don't know how people can ever commute from the current urban sprawl to their place of work without them. Cities would need to build massive bus and rail infrastructures at the cost of billions or similar amounts are going to have to be spent to increase densification.

I chose where to live because of a desire to be able to commute easily - the bus is 10 minutes, walking is about 25 - but I paid for it, both literally and figuratively.

Not forced by government but by force of nature. There will be disruptions and people will have to to adapt in some way if they like it or not.
> Meat is generally 10 times more calorie dense. So to ship the same calories we would need 10 times the trucks which would have a huge CO2 implication

Where do those animals get their calories from? And how efficient are they at converting those calories into consumable flesh?

Yeah this, like Superhuman, is about damage control, not a fundamental desire to do the right thing.
"Multiple studies have shown benefits of caffeine in improving endurance. Military studies have shown caffeine increase vigilance in sleep deprived and one study showed improved shot group tightness."

"Recommended dosing is 5mg/kg of bodyweight. Dosing of 200-300 mg has also been used. Higher dosing has been associated with side effects that would decrease performance. Serious adverse reactions have been seen at 2,000mg so this quantity of caffeine should be avoided."

The military does some cool studies on these. Source is below, but you can find the actual study with charts on how firearm proficiency rises and drops with dose.

Nice points here. The real issues are the Joy-Con, because the Wireless can be solved with an ethernet adapter, but the Joy-Con get crazy drift on the left stick (3-for-3-pairs of them in my case) and the signal is horrific. I used to have the switch docked behind my TV on the stand, but the signal to the left one particularly was impossibly bad, in the end I ended up having to move the switch to line-of-sight which is slightly annoying when you have a nice tidy setup and the switch dock just randomly sitting off to the side, but the disconnects become really, really infuriating when you're 10 feet from the switch it the connection drops constantly.

I haven't noticed such issues with the Pro controller.

What I'd love to see are a more portable dock (I play almost always in TV mode) and a re-work of the Joy-Con that fixes the drift and signal issues.
You have 300 roaches in a 60 gallon tub? Are you raising them as food for something else or just for fun? I'm certainly not one of the "eww roaches" people but I have to say I don't see the appeal myself ;)
Well, maybe. MNN is a public access TV channel with an exclusive franchise agreement with the New York City government, yet the SCOTUS recently declared it wasn't a state actor for purposes of the First Amendment.

As the court wrote,

"the City’s designation is analogous to a government license, a
government contract, or a government-granted monopoly, none of which converts a private entity into a state actor — unless the private entity is performing a traditional, exclusive public function."

Since it's unlike that Twitter can be considered to be performing "a traditional, exclusive public function", it's unlikely they'll fall under that provision.

And all of that assumes that unseasonably warm/cold temperatures from changing weather patterns, drought or flooding from changing weather patterns, increased wildfires from changing weather patterns etc doesn't kill off many species in an area.
At least the red, blue & pink lines exceed 70k/weekday. Which is the point: anything approaching that level should be converted from bus to rail.
How often do you think this happens within 2 miles from your house? This is my example locally.

The GPs comments were implying it wouldn’t happen in Europe without manslaughter charges and the US it they wouldn’t be charged. It can happen in the US with similar charges, vehicular homicide. My comment is valid.
I will be surprised if the signals are even physically routed to the USB port, no reason to do that and then disable it in software unless removing the feature was a last minute decision.
How can they develop a resistance to something that physically destroys their exoskeleton? It acts as an abrasive.

>Boric acid also has the reputation as "the gift that keeps on killing" in that cockroaches that cross over lightly dusted areas do not die immediately, but that the effect is like shards of glass cutting them apart. This often allows a roach to go back to the nest where it soon dies.

edit: found the article,

>All of the tested resistance intervention strategies selected for increased resistance to all AIs applied in field treatments except boric acid....Our results also showed non-significant, but nonetheless elevated cross-“tolerance” towards boric acid in some instances.[0]

So it's probably noise in the data. Boric acid is different from the rest of the substances studied. It may not be all that effective however, according to the paper, is my take.

> The only time a voltage sufficient enough to kill you, doest kill you, is when it is only present for an extremely small amount of time and/or not traversing your heart.

The reason this is the case is because your initial premise is incorrect. Power kills you. Power equals work divided by time. This is why huge voltages over short periods of time don’t kill you.

Html validation is actually quite powerful and can help with most "quality of life" validations. You know the "this field is required" or "this field needs to be a number" kind of thing.

Even more, html validation has by far a much better UX than most custom made JS solutions. For example if there is an error in the validation, your cursor is immediately transported to the offending field where you can do the correction, with the appropriate css classes available to highlight the field properly.

And for the stuff that html validation is not powerful enough, well then you most probably want to check that on the server as well anyway.
> As an avid Splatoon player, something I've come to learn is that there are players in the highest rank who play mobile and even can't/don't/won't play on a TV.

Do you know why? I'm curious to know.

I guess that, when you are playing on a TV, you don't have a 'full range of motion' because you need to continue facing the TV, but I don't know of anyone who does a 180 turn in Splatoon by spinning in real life--I was under the impression everybody uses the right control stick to rotate the camera for large motions, and then uses the motion controls for fine-tuned movements.

i am not sure measuring blood levels constantly and interpreting them without real knowledge is a good thing for your mind. I think it's good we don't know about this all the time, if you do regular check up and get an OK back, that fine. Doing it constantly would just create anxieties for a lot of people.
Handicap or handicapped-accessible seems to be widely applied to facilities like parking or restroom facilities. I still sometimes see it used to describe people but disabled appears to be the preferred term in that context.

Speaking as an American.
For me, the concern is the dosage. I have heard the 20 mg capsules are not nearly enough, and it could get costly if you go well above that.
I'm not sure how this can be construed as Apple's fault (and I've never owned any Apple products). A general purpose OS runs what the user installs. This is purely on zoom for backdooring the system. I'm not sure how many Mac users bother running ps every once in a while, but it seems like it wouldn't be that hard to detect either.

That said I have to say zoom's the only businessy meeting client I've used that doesn't require running through hoops on Linux. Maybe I should check if there are any devious backdoors installed on my system...
Nice.. your chevrons don't seem to display, but my org might be blocking fonts...

Will it be possible to run this internally, as in, inside a firewall? Might be useful for enterprise customers.
Well in the beginning there was just the one electro-strong-weak-gravity field... until inflation cooled everything down enough for the four “fundamental” forces to freeze out.

Edit: ok so really there is only theoretical evidence of an electroweak field at the beginning (electromagnetic field and weak field are not independent at high energy) and everyone is currently hard at work trying to 1) figure out the “Grand Unified Theory” that will putatively integrate the strong force with the electroweak force, and 2) figure out how to rethink either gravity/spacetime in a quantum context to integrate it with the quantum GUT, or unquantize the GUT (not likely) so it can be combined with spacetime...
So if someone hits someone in a car and they are just minor injuries we should’t involve the legal system? The method of injury ought not matter: car, bike, scooter, whatever — breaking road laws should be enforced and injuries should result in further charges.

Why not? It's just a header with a username and password. Your app can do whatever you want with that info. It also doesn't strictly have to be a username and password, you allow app tokens or whatever you want in there, that's just what the browser UI calls it.
I felt the same way on my bike in Tokyo.
>More importantly, affirmative actions essentially posits that black people cannot get ahead because of an inherent characteristic - skin color. It says that race effectively determines the capacity of a black without other intervention. It's demeaning.

That's ridiculous, and purposefully disingenuous. Systemic racism is the reason they can't get ahead, not their skin color.

Your ranting Gish Gallop [1] and transparent attempts to carry Eric Raymond's water are incoherent and intellectually dishonest. And that's entirely inappropriate for this forum.

Granting you the benefit of the doubt that you're not already a regular one of ESR's spandex-clad [2] flying monkeys [3], I suggest you take your bullshit to his blog, where your pseudoscientific beliefs will be welcomed with open arms, and you will find a rabidly libertarian audience (including washed-up internet celebrities like Tron Guy) who will appreciate and reinforce your white supremacist propaganda. You'll enjoy laying down with those dogs, because you've already got fleas.

"It cannot be denied that Fascism and similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships are full of the best intentions and that their intervention has, for the moment, saved European civilization. The merit that Fascism has thereby won for itself will live on eternally in history." -Ludwig von Mises (1927), the pseudoscientific idol of ludwig@mises.gq

"The liberal champions of equality under the law were fully aware of the fact that men are born unequal and that it is precisely their inequality that generates social cooperation and civilization. Equality under the law was in their opinion not designed to correct the inexorable facts of the universe and to make natural inequality disappear." -Ludwig von Mises, the racist idol of ludwig@mises.gq

"Nor is it any longer of greater significance that the political rights of women are restricted, that women are denied the vote and the right to hold office... The right to occupy public office is denied women less by the legal limitations of their rights than by the peculiarities of their sexual character." -Ludwig von Mises, the sexist idol of ludwig@mises.gq
Single-page apps became a thing because of lack of development resources to build native apps or properly engineer server side solutions (as well as a business desire to centralize and lock down the product so people have to experience ads, pay subscriptions...). It has nothing to do with creating a user friendly experience. 100% of the time a user would benefit from a native app or properly engineered server-side rendered web page over a SPA.
Powdered or crystallized sugar?
It's insane to me that Sapiens seems to make up the entirety of many engineers' humanitarian education. And not only that, that you're basically shamed if you haven't read it, but on the other hand seen as overambitious and/or not interested enough in tech if you've opted to read a more traditionally accepted scholarly tome instead.
I'd say the biggest argument against panspermia is that the organisms responsible for it need to be successful locally and universally, at the same time. Reproduction is expensive and intrastellar reproduction is incredibly low yield. So organisms would need to have evolved to both capture an entire ecosystem AND waste a bunch of energy blowing their seed into the solar system.

The idea just doesn't jibe with my understanding of evolution.
> yet users who want or need to disable JS are often left out in the cold.

Because it's simply not worth it. Do the math on the number of people who want to be able to use a site without JS (and the even smaller number who would absolutely refuse to use a site without JS) vs. the large cost of maintaining essentially 2 versions of the site. Couple that with the fact that the types of people who disable JS tend to make horrible customers (and I'm not saying that's at all a bad thing, but from the pure economic perspective of the site owners it means their opinion counts less).
Agreed on not abandoning the GUI, I'm writing this from dillo for example. Also agree on the idea of not having the browser as the new OS and not expanding attack surfaces so much. But Pale Moon seems to be a far cry from that, specially seeing as it keeps NPAPI plugins support.
Sequel: Homo Deus
If that was your interpretation, maybe I could have been more clear.

I don't think gene editing of embryos is necessarily a bad thing (nor are there any international treaties as far as I'm aware), I was simply throwing it out there as an obvious example of something we're likely capable of in this space since many countries, including the US, already have laws which prohibit it.

My personal opinion leans more towards a moratorium while the issues with the technology and ethics are ironed out, because of the inherent complexity in that domain.

The linked article touches on the difficulties in achieving gene drives in mammals, and it would be easy to demonstrate that the scale of ethical concerns dwarfs those for attempting to eliminate malaria over a few mosquito generations and only after careful consideration of the consequences and implementation of failsafes. Nobody is concerned that CRISPR will only be available to socioeconomically advantaged mosquitos, for example.

in order to replicate or simulate a production environment i sometimes do something like this:

ip route add local 192.0.2.123/32 table local dev lo

which makes your system act like this is a local address without actually being one.

EDIT: nvm i just realized that wont solve your issues with mobile development...
I am here to tell you, however, that the spectacle promised by a local county fair of a “combine demo derby” (as in, a demo derby with old combines) did NOT live up to the hype. Crashes there were, but at a lumbering 5MPH (TOPS) they were not “spectacular," especially when some of the combines had to help others get going again with helpful pushes. Let's say my ten-year-old son and I were "underwhelmed." :)
I listened for a long time, learned a lot as well.

This made me think - is there any website that facilitates you to do such public conferences on zoom like clients. Basically a bunch of people who are interested in a certain topic could join and chime in - go from topic to topic. It could be a very healthy discussion. People could post and schedule meetings and essentially anyone who wants to learn could join. I do listen to podcasts often, but such meetings would be pretty different than podcasts.

You are correct on all points. Finding your own purpose can be hard especially for those who have lived by the ideas of others well into adulthood. Living on the modern economic treadmill also makes it harder. You have to find purpose within the world you live.
In the cotton bag example, I believe the 2 big factors that make them not great is water usage, and chemicals for bleaching etc. Is bleach getting pumped into a river better or worse than a plastic bag that gets ingested by an animal? I wouldn't say the chemicals aren't trash either.

Plus in these situations im reminded of before I had a car, I'd walk to the shops, and not wanting to lug around a load of reusable bags I got disposables and walked home. What's the better option there? Car and reusable bags, or walk and disposables?

Having said all that I'd agree with you.
Continual shoulder rubs would be motivating to me, that doesn't mean I get to force other people to do what they don't want to do.
Yes. The universe is approximately 9000 years old.
That is actually true, just tested it. There is always something new to learn!

We've used Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Lessons with 4 of our 5 children (the 5th is 2 years old). Starting at 3, they generally completed the book by 4-4.5, one took until he was 5. After they finish the book, the authors have a list of recommended books for the kids to read next. It's a good list, but one other source we added were travel brochures. Anytime we stopped somewhere on a family trip, we'd load up on all the brochures of things to do in the area. My 9 year old is the oldest of the group, she's completed the Chronicles of Narnia, Anne of Green Gables, and the Little House Series each multiple times. Our 8 year old just finished reading the "Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" and just asked me for 100 feet of copper wire....our 6 year old wants to go to Round Rock, TX - his favorite brochure and our 3 year old is on lesson 40... if it were just one kid, I'd say it was just luck. But the book really works. And each lesson takes between 10-15 minutes. If you figure over the course of a year, you're spending roughly 25-40 hours on developing an independent reader, it's a no-brainer.
