Interesting read! It's also worth noting that circadian rhythm based eating habits (i.e. timing meals in the morning, or at least the bulk of one's caloric intake earlier in the day), are important for more than just weight loss. They reduce levels of inflammation in the body, improve insulin response, improve glucose tolerance, the list goes on and on. Humans evolved to eat when they are at peak-awareness/wakefulness: in the morning/early-day. If one's trying to optimize for peak performance/health/longevity, they should in the AM rather than PM.

Personally I only eat one meal a day, stopping all calorie consumption by 11am. I'm in the 2nd day of a 3 day fast; it's definitely an exercise in discipline, but so worth doing. Fasting's stress on the body invokes a "survival of the fittest" response on the cellular level; in which under performing cells are cleaned out. Some news out of USC has stated that a 72 hour fast leads to an "entire reset of your immune system" [0]. Pretty interesting stuff for health-conscientious folks.

Wow, when is HN getting added to the list? This feels like a form of dystopian future is already here.
The self-checkout at Costco is a godsend. I usually buy 2-5 items at Costco, and the self-checkout allows me to avoid standing in line behind people with overflowing shopping carts. I can pay in about 30 seconds and get out of there.

"It is a kind of twisted reasoning "

Although I disagree with it, I do understand the logic behind it. The companies doing this are usually capitalist, not virtue-driven. They don't care about morals, laws, etc. They screw over their customers in any way they can get away with. They also do things that cause their customers problems but lie to them about the reasons. Self-checkouts make the customer experience worse for most (not all) customers. When they add them, they usually do a staff cut followed by telling self-checkout workers to push customers to check themselves out. Nothing is given in return for the extra hardship. It's just a middle finger to the customers that made them the money to buy the machines (or invest in better customer experience) in the first place.

So, some are following that "do whatever I can get away with that's in my self interest" mentality giving them the middle finger back. Funny enough, in my area, most of these companies with poor security in their self-checkouts are nickle and diming the people that run them on top of increasing the number of machines they watch or side jobs they have to do on top of self-checkout. I had to wait a few minutes earlier today for my self-checkout clerk to stop bagging at a register to fix a problem on my self-checkout. Needless to say, that kind of crap just adds to opportunities for people stealing or just walking out to buy their stuff somewhere with fast-moving people at registers. I've done the latter many times since a trip to convenience store was faster than the lines at similar prices.

I'd be more outraged if it was someone ripping off Publix, Costco, or Aldi.
Mostly power generation. Don't quote me but I recall reading we'd need approximately a million times more power than currently produced to capture current emissions with current technologies.

Grab a factor of ten from reduced emissions and another factor of 100 from tech improvements and it's still way out of reach
I think the article makes some great points regarding SEO and accessibility benefits that should be followed. My sole gripe is against the title’s use of “anti-pattern” which 1) they fail to define 2) I associate with dark patterns (this is not that) and 3) use of back-ground image is definitely a pattern, sometimes a very useful one. What does he mean by anti-pattern in relation to background image? New Title: Why <picture> is superior to background-image:
I would check out the compression handlers in Netty, which underlies Vert.X and many other projects that need high IO performance.

You should be able to hack something together that feeds zero copy buffers into Netty compression handler. Maybe using Netty or Vert.X file API, or maybe just raw NIO2.

I'm not sure how fast this would be, but my gut says "very". Netty can easily saturate 40 Gigabit Ethernet lines, and file IO should have less overhead. That's ~5 gigabytes a second.

It's going to be a good bit of coding for sure. Vert.X/Netty/NIO2 are all async and pretty low level. They're generally 1 thread per core, and along with SSD read patterns you're probably best off reading files in parallel, one per core. Might not be worth the effort.

You may want to look into ZStandard as well. It's Superior to Gzip in most ways when you need something fast but decent.
I’ve seen a few luxury condo buildings in Canada with a 24/7 convenience store and self-checkout, though with an entrance that only tenants can access (and I guess surveillance).

So this is starting to happen already, but proliferation really depends on expanding the social contracts that can enable this. The above convenience store wouldn’t last in an apartment building where the tenants weren’t exceedingly well-off as the world is now.
Ohhh sad, that this post dosen‘t get any upvotes.

Personally, my company is build on trust and I don’t have to lie to my customers.

But what fuck me up the most recently:

To register an ASN in the RIPE Region, you have to be a member (LIR) or find a LIE that sponsor your one.

The costs as LIR are near 0. You only have to verify your customer and get a signed contract. Let’s say you value the time at 10€.

Then you send the stuff to the RIPE via API, Mail or Ticket System.

Then your customer gets the ASN from RIPE and you, as Sponsoring LIR, are done.

Some company’s charge you 200€/yr for this (the industry median is about 90€ and 50% only want it one time.)
Facebook didn't always have vanity names (and I'm not sure if you get them by default), so there's always an out.

It's not free of charge, you're just paying in a different way. These services are able to operate because they deliver content that changes your mind in a way that benefits the corporations who pay for ads. They alter your purchasing habits, sway you politically, and change your emotions. If they were not able to manipulate you then they would be worthless.
It's hard to argue that post-citizens-united USA with businessmen using political offices to score business deals and increase revenue at their owned businesses is "least corrupt" compared to, say, 20-50 years ago when it was harder to buy political office and people like President Carter sold off their businesses to avoid a conflict of interest.

The US, at least, has backslid.

I can't read the article either. I used to go swimming often and it made me feel really good. But for me, something makes it really hard to do it regularly so it always petered out. Which is annoying, because it obviously improved my life. Non-exercise things are so much easier for me to work on and to keep on doing. Playing chess one hour per day? No problem! Swimming four times a week? Eh...
I don't shoplift, but I'm appalled at the double standards that are often applied to consumers and workers compared with large companies.

Amazon is selling counterfeit products to unwitting shoppers across the United States. Large firms like this do not subject themselves to any code of ethics like we do; there is only the risk of getting penalized. Yet their business models are reliant on us acting ethically. It is one big scam that preys on human decency, so I really don't blame someone for taking extra fruit at the self-checkout after doing a cost-benefit analysis and making the profitable choice.

This either feels like an out of touch attempt by an older generation who doesn't understand social media (only uses Facebook, etc), or a huge honey trap tricking people into inadvertently "lying" to the USG.

When we look at world history, how often do you see governments and their agencies pining for a connection to the people they serve, vs. ascribing to themselves the power to arbitrarily enforce life-ruining rules?

Sorry, I'm too lazy to create a throwaway GitHub repo. I make way too many flamey and policital comments to tie my real name to HN posts :-/
I'm in the Mid-South around Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. They did exactly what parent described to push self-checkouts. Many people down here like a personal touch in their orders. Some percentage prefer to use self-checkouts to get out faster or not have to interact with people as much. The stores with self-checkout tried to cut staff forcing the majority of customers to use them to bypass the artificially-long lines. They tried to justify that with it was better or industry was just too competitive to afford cashiers (except at places that still had them). The recent push is to add even more with Walmart designing theirs to make people move through more like cattle.

The other thing with those down here is they have a weight-based security scale with high number of false positives. Combine that with 4-6 machines constantly having them to get some unhappy customers. Also, those at Walmart and Kroger often have coupons or other issues that require attendants. Sometimes customers will argue with them wanting things checked. This might take a lot of time. Now, we have 4-12 or something people all waiting on one person due to one person. Then, some get irritated about what order they're served in when the attendant gets back. Way worse experience than at a register with a few people in line.

I'm fine with self-checkouts or registers. I prefer to have options, though, like you said in your comment. I'm good at reading the situation to determine which will be faster. When they force me, I just go somewhere else to spite them unless they got me locked in with an exclusive item or deal(s) worth the time. The oligopolies let them do that here and there.

> The easiest answer is to set all fields to default values: booleans to false, numbers to 0, and reference types to null. But this requires that every type has a default value, and forces the infamous null into the language. This is exactly the path that Java took: at the start of construction, all fields are zero or null.

I don't think this forces us to have a null.

Firstly, if an object has another one as a member, then we just recursively default-construct that member. If the member is optional (e.g. next node of a linked list that may not be there) that can be addressed with a sum type, like a "maybe" type, whose default value for construction can be the "not there" variant of the type. (If that is considered morally equivalent of a null, I don't know what to say; but it's certainly not there because of default construction, but because we wanted linked lists that somehow terminate, and it makes sense for construction to produce a node that has no next node.)

The concept of a default value isn't problematic at all. Every type has a set of values in its domain. If that domain is empty (like the nil type in Common Lisp at the bottom of the type spindle), then the default value of an object of that type is
that only possibility: to have no value. If the domain has exactly one value, we have no choice but to establish that value as the default. Otherwise, we can designate one of the two or more values as the default.

> In Rust, there’s only one way to create a struct: providing values for all the fields.

If that's the design, we could require the programmer to specify that default literal when the type is defined. Then that literal is used by default construction. Problem solved.

If we can have literals, we can have always have default construction, if we inconvenience the programmer to supply us the literal that is to be used for it.
>a huge honey trap tricking people into inadvertently "lying" to the USG. They can then use these mistakes to then revoke anyone's status after the fact at a whim (inc. for political reasons).

Doesn't the USG have to prove that you were lying in court? Or can they cite that your information is incorrect and immediately deport you?
Since everyone is chiming in with anecdotal weight loss experiences via faddish diets, I'll chime in with mine following "conventional" diet wisdom.

40 years old, 170 lbs down to 135 lbs, slow and steady just by eating a conventionally healthy low fat diet and adhering to CICO.

No wacky meal timings. No eating/avoiding an entire macronutrient to excess. Most calories came from whole grains, whey, and fish, and I made sure my belly was full most of the time with vegetables.

I drank wine nearly every day, and popped a square of Dove chocolate for dessert most meals. I even ate fast food a couple times a month.

Hunger pains and exhausting days in the gym? You bet. But it wasn't difficult, and I still got to eat my favorite foods - just less of them.

CICO works. Studies like this are interesting, but almost certainly just tweaking the margins for most people.
Jeez, that sucks. Did you go back to 4000 calories when you stopped? 1400 calories don't sound too terrible, I wonder what happened.

It's not super easy to move to a more interesting role that pays the same. A lot of the time, just having Java for 10 years on your resume and C# for 2 years will automatically rule you out of any "senior" C# positions.

An immigration court isn't a real court. It is an executive "court" with appointed judges (essentially employees) and no judicial oversight.

If you think of the three branches of government, immigration proceedings are squarely under the executive, the same branch trying to deport people.
You'd need to also prevent the hay from decaying. I learned the other day that bogs are highly efficient at sequestering carbon, because they prevent decay.

"the honest among us subsidize the criminals."

We in fact do: executives of companies with poor service, little innovation, and lots of fraud against consumers and employees. They take millions to tens of millions... typically goes up... despite others doing most of their work whose own income is minimized wherever possible. There's also thieves that make three to four digits a year taking some percentage of company earnings for themselves, too. I can't stand them either.

A 7 day fast is pretty intense. I’ve only gone 24 hr (super easy)

How much of your ability to do that is because of previously stored fat (that you'll eventually burn out?)

How much recharge time do you allow yourself?

Food gives you nutrients aside from calories. Given your frequent fasts, how do you ensure that a 7 day fast won’t deplete them?

The bankers often pay for the country to be rebuilt collecting interest on those loans for tens of years. US often further expects the bombed country to pay for the war, US did so in the first Gulf War via the UN and again in the second. US business often invades the country and helps develop it after the country has been destroyed, I mean freed. It's a win-win for many different sides. The question is can the vanquished actually fit the bill for your conquest, and often the answer is yes at least partially.

For instance see here: https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1050401/trump-news-iraq...

Trump wants Iraq to pay for the American war with Iraqi oil.

War is creative destruction in which the existing order is replaced by the order of someone else... who often benefits from the establishment of the order in terms of many new markets being created, often belonging to the winning side... and many other existing markets belonging to other people being destroyed.

I just chose not to use self-checkouts. If a store only has them I don't go there. It's easy and sends a clearer (and more clearly ethical) message.
How I use the good parts of AWS
This is the most prolific and dark comment on this thread.
I agree with you, and I think it is telling of how warped this debate is by normative viewpoints that such a high percentage of reference sources and arguments come from one highly independent and active source (gwern). Aside from the detail of the argument, if you're observing a debate as an outsider, and you're interested in how the world actually is, it is often useful to kind of subtract an estimate of how people would like the world to be from the consensus.
It doesn't. It just increases their profit. What they charge is determined by different people in those organizations. Most vendors have cashiers in Mid-South. Walmart and Kroger are the ones adding lots of self-checkouts with Walmart being about charging less with low service and Kroger charging more with a bit more service. Dollar General and Aldi are cheapest with no self-checkout, but less cashiers.

So, there's your data points. Meanwhile, a lot of companies are getting rid of their self-checkouts since there's tons of theft. They've probably lost more at some places than they saved on laid-off cashiers.

They’re pretty unambiguously concentration camps. The Uyghurs aren’t getting gassed yet, and maybe China never plans to go that far, but if you watch the BBC’s footage from inside, the sanitized version China wants to show the world is still very bad. They don’t even bother pretending that everyone in the camps has done something wrong.

(But that doesn’t mean China fabricated the underlying issue; they really do face a large problem with Uyghur terrorism, with many attacks having multiple casualties in the past decade.)
