I'm pretty sure "mutually unintelligible" is putting it too strongly. My partner is from Malaysia, but from KL not Terengganu, and we were in Terengganu visiting my relatives there earlier this year and I'm pretty sure she was able to understand the Malay spoken there fairly well.
> When I control my food supply, my hunger will almost always override the cold math of the calories.

That's a case of your hunger causing you to eat more calories, not a case of your hunger causing you to gain more weight from the same calories. The math still works just fine if you count the calories that your plan says you shouldn't have eaten. It's the plan that isn't working for you, not the math.
So the person asking the question is supposed to understand what each individual was thinking based on a single click? I don't see how this is possible.
Yes because without any corroboration we should trust people just because they passed a job entrance test. There is nothing that makes CBP any less likely to have all the human flaws of everyone else. Why isn't there video that could be shown to show actual evidence that they claim? They control every part of the entrance process but somehow never seem to have any evidence of anything. I can tell you that this isn't all that much detail to fabricate nor is it something that probably isn't boilerplate for them for certain violations that they want to claim. Police reports are wildly similar based on the type of violation that's claimed because they know the specific words that need to be said for legal reasons whether or not those events happened. It's why you get cases where the only crime is resisting arrest. In what world is not wanting to be arrested for no reason a crime?

No, it's always been this way. But we miss some cases, because we don't come close to seeing everything on HN.
There comes a point in the learning process for any subject where you get so excited about the fact that you understand something new that you feel you need to tell everyone about it. This feels like one of those posts—the author has very limited experience, but he has formalized a coherent (albeit unoriginal) idea and because of that exciting feeling he now wants to shout it to the world. It’s good to write as an exercise to help you grow or solidify your ideas, and a post like this, with all its self-congratulatory language, probably would have ended up better if it were written for OP himself rather than for the world. Instead, by publishing it, the author has the need to establish (and, it feels, compensate for) “why I’m qualified to talk about this”. It’s premature to have shared this underdeveloped idea, just as it’s premature for the author to be boasting his achievements.
Why not? The presumption for US citizens is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. There's literally no evidence presented to support the CBP. There's no rules defined publicly, so it's literally secret police type rules that they can make up on the spot from public perception.

Edit: I'm aware of the fact that this isn't a US citizen, however there's no standards to define what the rules are and absolutely zero ability for accountability to the people that they are supposed to be protecting.

> When done correctly, this is considerate because it reduces the amount of time users spend searching for an answer.

But it isn't done correctly. It's done rather arbitrarily, because who could have predicted that accurate rating of questions is hard and that in the end what matters is having a quality knowledge base on various subjects not only the ones some specific people think are useful.

I'd also not ignore that pretty much noone except the asker care about questions' votes when primary traffic to questions is from search engines.

Oh, and I almost forgot, your claims of how downvotes are not meant as a signal for the asker, then why are they displayed the votes? Why should they lose rep if it's not meant as a signal to them?

I played Dune 2 first (in ~1993), then saw Lynch's Dune, then played Dune 2000, and then saw the Dune miniseries and Children of Dune (which, in a fan move, I posted on Usenet and got me my first and only DMCA warning from the MPAA :^). 10 years or so later, I bought the book Dune, and a few years later I finally read it. It is a legendary book indeed, but I wish I read the book first.

If you can, please read the book first before seeing/doing anything else in the universe. Don't let your imagination be spoiled!

(I'm not very interested in reading the sequels. Children of Dune was a terrible movie, IMO.)

Which makes me wonder what I missed with regards to J.R. Tolkien and George R. Martin.
Crazy, isn't it. If deterrence appears not to work, let's pick the most expensive, wasteful alternative we can find!

I would say choose your framework then use the db that's popular with it, often PostgreSQL or MySQL. If it turns out to be a NoSQL like DynamoDB or MongoDB try it out. They're different than SQL databases but good to see for yourself.
Kinda like if Nintendo Miis were made out of vectors. Fun stuff.
I think they should support both the "accepted" and "best" answer use cases. Have separate indicators in the UI for them.

In the common case, the accepted and best answers will probably be the same, so keep the classic green checkmark there.

When the accepted and best answers don't match, have two checkmarks (or whatever) - one that explicitly says "user XXX accepted this answer" and the other that says "this is the best answer".
Greenhouse emissions from meat/dairy production (the all chain) in highly efficient meat industries of 1st world countries, are negligible when compared to to other sources. [1]

Incremental compilation tends to conflict with fully deterministic builds. But you don't need incremental compilation for the final artifact.
Substituting breadth for depth is likely only useful in less technical roles. Specialize in different areas so you have depth in many. There's a thing called 'T'-shaped skills and you can acquire multiple areas of depth and be 'TT'-shaped, etc.
At some point there was a critical mass of people believing Web Apps are super awesome. (Although I'm not sure if this was ever the majority ;))

Speaking of myself, I was always frustrated that on Linux apps/games were missing. The situation was even worse when I tried other Operating Systems. Web Apps seemed to be the ultimate solution for that.

But yes, RAM and CPU usage is insane. (For now the only solution is to buy computers with a lot of RAM and Swap space I think ;))
Hmm cannot remember anything from then either; now it’s a bit late to say I want to reconsider the friendship :-)
Isn't the relationship between macrostate and microstate the basis for entropy? Like, there can be more possible microstates (positions and momenta) for a given hot macrostate than a cool one.

In the case of the asteroids, I guess I'm thinking of number bits required to accurately model the system accurately. Is that an appropriate way to think about it?

I see it as lower because fewer cells in a matrix are needed to model the solid bodies...

Meh.

Most of the things you mention are side-components of systemd, not core stuff.

You could change the hostname the old way by just go ediding /etc/hostname or using the hostname command (or both). hostnamectl merely exposes you a handy command to do this in a consistent way across distributions.

One could probably take systemd, dropp all the non-init components and make it a minimal init system.

Forcing comments on downvotes looks reasonable but it doesn't work at the high-traffic scale of StackOverflow.

[To downvoters, (1) are there any other discussion websites with comparable high traffic to StackOverflow that have forced-downvote-explanations so we can see if they work ... and (2) are you aware of the degraded-signal-noise-ratio reason in 2011 that Jeff Atwood made downvotes easier (free) instead of harder?]

Why do you think that their obligation derives from how you imagine their downvote will effect your life instead of the rules of the site?

Neither stack overflow nor your fellow users are obliged to you beyond the standards set by the site and general human decency.

It takes 1 second to downvote a low value comment. It might take 5-20 minutes of conversing with a stranger who is likely to respond rudely to criticism. Less voting means less curation means wading through more lower quality materials. I don't want to use worse websites so you can have more imaginary internet points.

Don't like it use a different website.
From EPA "Propylene glycol and dipropylene glycol were first registered in 1950 and 1959, respectively, by the FDA for use in hospitals as air disinfectants. At one point, there were approximately 190 pesticide chemical companies having active propylene or dipropylene glycol registrations."

> Homosexuality, indeed, is a discouragement to species survival

Maybe not. Homosexuality has been very widely observed in nature. [0] My understanding is that modern biologists tend to take the view that evolution is, for whatever reason, not acting to eliminate it.

There exist genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis which, it seems quite clear, have no evolutionary 'upside', but which nonetheless haven't been eliminated by natural selection.

I believe most modern biologists tend not to put homosexuality in the same bucket, simply on account of how widespread it seems to be in nature.

I have to say I don't understand Dawkins' idea that homosexuality might be a 'misfiring' of genes, contingent on modern human life, given that homosexual behaviour has been observed in other apes. [1] [0]

Annoyingly Wikipedia has very little to say on this interesting question. [2]

> Given the cultural and experiential components of sexual attraction, I really don't think genetics need to be worth that much. Maybe there's some contribution, but it doesn't seem to have much scope, nor does it need it.

I don't see how that figures. One would surely expect evolution to 'care' a great deal about mate-selection. That's how we have Fisherian runaways, after all. [3]

In medical devices you validate the binary. The problem is if you rebuild the code and now it's different then what? Consider that compilers sometimes produce the wrong code.

After reading entire original series (Dune through Chapterhouse), I eventually read Butlerian Jihad, Hunters of Dune, and Sandworms of Dune. Taken together I felt they provided sufficient context and closure for questions posed in the original series. And notably, although they are written by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson, the last two in particular are based on notes of Frank Herbert’s for a seventh book, discovered in a safety-deposit box[1].

You can fix some freeze-over issues by taking a length of stiff wire (14 gauge solid copper is great if you have some, a wire coat hanger is an OK substitute), wrapping one end tightly around the nearest part of the defrost cycle heater element, and routing the other end through the area where you are getting ice build-up. Some freezer designs allow ice to build up out of the defrost heater’s reach, and the added wire just conducts that heat where it’s needed.

From all I've seen, the only scientific assumptions derived from current experimental data are:

1. Calories in/out control weight

2. Not everyone's digestive system is exactly the same, thus some small variance exists in how many calories we each absorb from various foods. This variance is very small, but maybe some exceptional outliers exist with very strange conditions here that could dramatically affect digestion. Don't justify your weight on this, you are most likely not the outlier and are just eating too much :p

3. Insulin levels and other hormonal conditions could affect the ability to lose fat. Again, this assumes major imbalance, most likely due to medical conditions like diabetes or hashimoto, etc.

4. The body needs what it needs. So a diet is more than just weight loss. You need a balanced diet, not necessarily balanced in foods, but you do in nutrients. It doesn't take much of anything though.

5. Certain foods have extra curricular effects that can be good or bad. It really depends in the food and your body. Intolerance, allergies, carcinogens, antioxidants, and many others. You can think of food as medication that is micro dosed, and with possibly immeasurable long term effects.

Also, it does seem that trans fat affect heart disease, as well as sugars. And it is the interaction between both which creates a high risk scenario. That's why both diets work. Ideally, you even cut out both, which is what Keto often does, it favour healthy fats and cut out sugars.

P.S.: Sorry, I wish I could put down my sources, but I wasn't keeping track. This is the current synthesis from memory of the many studies I read over time for fun in the last 3/4 years.
