My personal experience with walking began six years ago. I weighed 270 pounds, felt tired and lethargic all the time, huffed and puffed any time I had to climb stairs etc. I decided to make a change, dropped sugar from my many daily coffees, and started walking two miles every night. I mapped out a route around our house and for the first five years I took our dogs with me. Where we live is hilly and initially each night felt like a struggle and I didn't want to do it much of the time. That sort of perversely made it a point of pride to do it regardless, and we went even on nights when it was drizzling or very cold. Six years later the transformation has been pretty satisfying. Down 60 pounds, so much more energy it's hard to describe the difference. I make the whole walk now in 30 minutes easily maintaining four mph up hills and down, and I could hold a conversation while doing it and not sound out of breath. It is now a well-established habit and on those nights when I can't go I feel like a slug :).
I remember working through rounds of depression and constantly confused and doubting my interpretation of .... anything / everything.

It was hard to understand the differences I perception when depressed and not.

One day a doctor almost as an aside said "When you are depressed, you don't see the world the way it is, but you also can't comprehend that entirely or maybe at all."

I finally understood why it was just so different on either end of the depression and non depression world and also how far "off" my ability to understand certain things were.
Oh, this is particularly confusing, I agree.

IIUC it's referring to how you can safely evaluate the return value from a spaceship: by comparing against literal zero. (not how you would overload a comparison with literal zero).
Intriguing article. Just updated some Forth code for interfacing with an ADC on a sensor I’m building. Dealing with SPI/I2C and sensors/adc’s in Forth really is fantastic. The results in much more succinct hardware code IMHO than C or even higher level languages. Really Chuck Moore seems spot on when dealing with specific hardware.

One example is a simple Forth word (macro) to convert 3 bytes into one 32 bit number integrates well into code for dealing with an adc chip.

However I wouldn’t want to write while applications in Forth as dealing with stack swaps becomes annoying. Still writing your own Forth is pretty fun too. I did mine by basing C compiler XMacros which made porting to an Itsy M4 trivial (about 3-4 of work) [1].

Still there’s a few Forth’s for Arduino’s, Itsy’s, ESP’s [2] which are really fun as they enable repl style interactive programming with hardware while still being blindingly fast!

>If 90% who survived suicide did not attempt suicide again it sort of does suggest that had more people survived their suicide impulses they would also be one-timers.

It might also suggest that those who survived a suicide attempt used half-hearted measures because it was an impulsive act, while at least some (though we'll likely never know that actual proportion) of those who did not survive their attempt went to greater lengths to ensure their death because their act was more premeditated and planned out than impulsive.

What about the other 10%? Was there a second impulse, then a third one? Sad as it may be to contemplate, not all suicide is a spur-of-the-moment thing, some people will go to great lengths to get their affairs in order and ensure their own death.

Exactly. The potential market for grid storage for renewables will be similar in size to the market for EV batteries once the cost of battery-backed renewables falls below the cost of a grid connection. And once that does happen, power grids worldwide are going to rapidly enter a death spiral as their fixed costs are spread between fewer and fewer users.

The default operators are very cool, but I assume that many codebases would ban them.

Imagine, for example, an engineer decided to reorder members in a struct to make it pack better. Now the semantics of default <=> have changed!

Also, as a minor nit, the optional number sample has a possible bug. I would assume that two null optionals would compare equivalently. Or is that part of how <=> should work? Should NaN <=> NaN == partial_ordering::unordered?
Dropping consumption means not spending that money. You keep it. Nothing to do with spending on eco-friendly things?

Independent of that, you can make specific decisions to avoid plastic-wrapped things. I’m visiting the US at the moment and I’ve seen plastic-wrapped corn, individually plastic-wrapped potatoes (!?!), eggs boiled shelled and in plastic, plastic cutlery individually wrapped in more plastic, straws given with every water at a restaurant (for adults?), plastic cups with plastic lids and plastic straws for every child, motel breakfasts with disposable plates and cutlery (they use a styrofoam cup for five seconds to get waffle batter and pour it in the cooker).
I'm not sure I'd get electricity installed in my house to help prevent electrocution.

I found it difficult to read/parse the descriptions, they almost feel like sentence riddles. Also, the column width may be too wide for fast reading. Maybe one could solve these more quickly if there was always the same format using newlines like "type the command\nwhich will display x\n such that y".
> No, people under-rating their expertise is a garden-variety variation on reversion to the mean.

Reversion to the mean would be underperforming past elite performance, not underestimating actual performance.

And it would draw toward the mean, not the ~70th percentile.
Let's take an example: Greenpeace (who I do think are valuable activists): yet I have seen their money go on boats (obvious consumption), or paying international travelers to canvas for money (obvious consumption by the travelers), and I have no trust that the payments by Greenpeace are anything but average consumption.

And a lot of "eco-friendly" consumption is pure green-washing. I know people that provide eco friendly services, and I know what they spend their money on, and it is mostly just normal consumer consumption (e.g. international holidays which is clearly pure "waste"). Or eco-friendly people with 5 kids - who just can't see that children are a multiplier effect on current and future consumption.
Do not try too hard to compare with maths here. A programming language is different in many things from how maths is usually formalized. In C++20 there is no "strong total ordering", "weak total ordering" nor their partial counterparts. There are just "strong ordering", "weak ordering" and "partial ordering".

In a strong ordering, two objects can only by one smaller, equal or larger than the other. If they are equal, it means that they are substitutable.

In a weak ordering, two objects can only be one smaller, equivalent or larger than the other. No substitutability is implied.

In a partial ordering, two objects can be one smaller, equivalent or larger than the other, or just not comparable. Again, no substitutability is implied.

There is no point in distinguishing strict vs non-strict: depending on whether you call < or <= you will get the string or not string variant, and the same for > and >=.
The ROI argument is one reason why I commute by bike. 7 days a week no problem, no real preparation time. Takes up time I would otherwise be wasting sitting in a car or public transit.

You might have to pay a fee to close out the loan early, but mostly the fees are reasonable. If your loan was originated after 2014, prepayment penalties are very limited [1]

My lender had a program where you paid a nominal amount (originally $500, but later $1000) and they'll adjust your rate to their then current rate. If you do a full refi, my understanding is that's going to cost in the neighborhood of $3000, although many lenders will roll that into the loan, or otherwise hide it.

Things like this should probably be ‘Correct’ with a small warning.
"Users expect their programs to give them up-to-the-minute information from the internet, with slick animation and nuanced typography." This is what is the problem. It is also why I often write my own, because, I do not want those features.

Rather, better features can include such as keyboard commands (including prefixes, etc), compact view that still includes the relevant information, mouse chording, programmability (for data-oriented stuff, the ability to run SQL queries can help), etc
Most of those are either quirky and compromised or simply not (yet) available in serious quantities.

I'm personally looking forward to the Hyundai/Kia models, as they seem to be closest to getting the formula right—enough range, enough power, enough fit and finish. Once the cost and supply of batteries is "solved" they could dominate the economy segment for a while.

In case someone rushed to cppreference.com to compare, I think that https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/compare/strong_ord... is slightly wrong, in that it should not list "equivalent" as an alternative. I reported that (putative) mistake.
You'd hope that the sort would be less intensive though. You might not need as many eyes to check that all the inappropriate stuff is out of the stream.

> you can make specific decisions to avoid plastic-wrapped things

So people buy a coffee in a paper cup, or even worse a recyclable plastic cup. But the cup is less than 5% of the ecological impact of the coffee.

The growing of the coffee is where the impact is.

Generally we all get sidelined by recycling the packaging, as an anodyne to salve our consumptive guilt. Purest poisonous propaganda that we mostly willingly swallow.

As I asked: I want some answers for ways that I can help, backed by science and facts, not lies wrapped in plastic tinsel to misguide me.
I think this is exactly correct, and I hate that this behavior of offloading testing onto users seems more and more to just be the expectation rather than the exception.

Coinbase had a number of issues when cryptocurrencies really exploded in 2017, and at that time I felt more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt because the landscape of cryptocurrencies had shifted so dramatically and I could empathize with their struggles to keep up. Two years later, there aren't any excuses anymore in my mind. As the parent comment says -- it's just not a priority.

I've happily moved off the platform to other options which have given me no trouble whatsoever.

On one hand this is just codifying common sense; cryptocurrencies aren't even good for payments and everybody already assumes that only criminals use large amounts of cash. OTOH I predict that innocent people will get tripped up by this law while criminals mostly won't.

“Living in a house with a gun increases your odds of death“ https://www.vox.com/2015/10/1/18000520/gun-risk-death

Gun ownership has benefits, but safety is not one of them.

Much like how most home robberies take place in the day, the perception of safety from gun ownership is at odds with reality. Hell, you are 25% more likely to be robbed in Alaska than New York State.
You're just asking how do we control for confounding factors in epidemiologic research. There are many ways, included adjusted logistic regression modeling, propensity scores, randomized clinical trials, cohort studies, on and on. I know it may seem like there's too many studies, but you shouldn't worry that there aren't extremely intelligent statisticians and epidemiologists working on these very issues - I collaborate with them daily :)
This is a restriction on physical cash, there is no mention of electronic cash let alone cryptocurrency.

I have fair skin in New England, use facial spf 35 sunscreen daily from May-September, and use spf 70 whenever I'm outside for longer than 15+ minutes. It's important as skin cancer is just bound to happen if you don't use it, as a fair skinned person. Not doing so would mean pieces of face/ear expensively sliced off when you're older. Both my parents grew up w/o sunscreen and got intensive burns, both of them got skin cancer on their face.

But even before old age and cancer, your skin will be healthier and look younger for much longer if you use sunscreen daily, use a hat, avoid 10am-2pm exposure, etc. The last one is interesting because during midday, the sun is directly overhead, meaning there is much less atmosphere between you and it, so even less UV is blocked.

Interesting, if crypto is cash, then no CGT on holdings? I’m dreaming of course!
While I don't know about this specific case, I do know in some languages, like JavaScript, NaN poisons any operation it is part of. So any operation on it is NaN, and comparisons to it are false.

Your idea is actually genius. Nice job!
Perl has had this for decades. C’s strcmp() has similar semantics.

I thought the motivation was that sort can be more efficient when each comparison can return more information (the standard library already has a sort function that relies only on using less-than operations).

But people eventually realized that certain operations have to be implemented together to make sense. For instance, the sort function that relies only on less-than operations defines two values as equal if neither value is less than the other. Many people consider this weird, and wonder why sort doesn’t require both less-than and equality operations. The spaceship operator essentially implements a group of operations, and guarantees they’ll be consistent: less-than, equal, and greater-than (plus not-equal, less-than-or-equal, and greater-than-or-equal). Personally, I’m not thrilled about a special purpose solution to a single example of a problem (use this one operator to implement this group of related operations), but I do see some value in making it easy to implement this group of related operations.

Walmart historically is brutal on price and terms, but pays very quickly.
