I'd wager that it's the metformin. Metformin inhibits pathways associated with mTOR (the growth signaling protein). When you inhibit this pathway, it tells the body to start the process of autophagy. It's the same process that occurs during fasting, and it's the same reason that the mTOR inhibitor Rapamycin has been shown to extend lifespan in mice and dogs. This is also why fasting has been shown to increase lifespan. It seems like if you don't constantly tax your body with food (growth signaling), then you can allow the body to repair itself. If you don't give it a break through fasting, then your growth hormones will be continually signaling to activate mTOR within your cells and thus never start the process of autophagy (cell death, and regrowth).

>Perhaps the Russians wished to transfer nuclear submarines to the Baltic to upgrade their fleet

while I generally agree with you and wouldn't put anything past my old country, even outright intentional stealing of the station,I don't think it is nuclear submarine here. It is too big of a fish to operate efficiently in the Baltic "tadpool"(http://ocean.dmi.dk/models/figs/bshcmod.png), and it doesn't provide any meaningful capabilities for that battle theater. From the USSR times Russia has the Baltic covered with more than enough antiship/antisubmarine/cruise missiles and other weaponry (like the short range ballistic missiles plus medium range cruise missiles which violated that treaty) which are based on land, on aircraft and on small ships, frigates and destroyers there. Nuclear submarine really doesn't add anything here. Despite all that hardware, Russia has been beefing ups its capabilities there - a lot of the ships were made operational (they hadn't been really despite their official "operational" status) plus the above mentioned new deployments of the ballistic and mid-range cruise missiles plus new generation of antiship and antisubmarine missiles (on smaller faster cheaper ships), and also i think the smaller submarine drones. These drones are much more probably at the issue here than a nuclear sub. There is also other submarine drone type - the nuclear powered and armed "doomsday" drone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status-6_Oceanic_Multipurpose_... . It is most probably built in St Petersburg and transferred to the North and Pacific fleets. While such transfers are usually with cold reactor and without warhead, there still may be some intelligence related drama around it.

Couldn't you have a scenario where your action was the direct cause of an outcome that might have come about some other way without your involvement at all?

For instance, if a ball rolls down a hill because you pushed it, but a breeze blows a moment after you pushed the ball, if that breeze was strong enough to push the ball down the hill too, then you have a scenario where "that ball went down the hill because I pushed it" is true, but "had I not pushed the ball, it would not have rolled down this hill" is not true.

Questions: The OS/2 personality was the only one that shipped, right? (Was its DOS and Windows compatibility provided by separate personalities, or provided by the OS/2 personality?) What other personalities were being developed, and how far along were they in development before being cancelled? I know IBM executives talked about AIX, OS/400, classic MacOS and Taligent personalities, but did any development work happen on those or were they just vaporware?

Wikipedia says OS/2 for PPC shipped with "IBM Microkernel 1.0" (based on Mach), with plans for a "IBM Microkernel 2.0" which never shipped? Was 2.0 planned as a major change from 1.0, or just an incremental evolution?

My CS education is going on two decades old, I think it was decent, and the ideas in this article aren't something that was taught back then in any class I had.

For the most part, it was the other way around, we mostly learned abstraction, so the lessons in class focused on how to encapsulate and hide state. At a higher level than that, education really focused (and still does, I think) on engineering for functionality over engineering for performance.

In some sense, the problem with APIs that allocate is larger now than it ever was before, and growing larger. Data sizes are bigger now, and memory pressure relative to what the processor can do is going up.

I don't know enough about FB's realistic position, but it is theoretically better positioned than specialized dating-app companies to provide a better matchmaking service. Specialized dating services fail to provide value to their users once they are no longer in the dating market, whereas FB can continue to get involved in its users' lives post-dating, and arguably moreso when they experience a lifestyle change.

For this reason, there is more room for the incentives of FB and those in the dating market to align, and so I welcome this.

I'm not a big fan of KV stores either, but I accept that they exist because there's an origin story for these things that makes a lot of sense. External storage of shared state fixes problems for shared-nothing and shared-everything programming environments.

In Java it gives teeth to the "write once, read many" pattern. By avoiding side effects you can scale your team larger. But it's a constant drain on resources to police this convention. There's always someone who thinks their reason to violate the rules is valid. Pushing the data out of process increases the cost of modifying data that should be read-only, and violations advertise loudly. You can't achieve it by obfuscation, intentional or otherwise.

Practically though, at the time KV stores were coming into existence, you could buy hardware with so much memory that Java couldn't keep up. They hit a GC wall that was causing serious problems. And running multiprocess was just anathema. If you push all of the long-lived objects out to the KV store not only does memory drop like a rock but what's left over is 'young' objects, and GC often optimizes for short-lived objects. In a way it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. By making in-process caching expensive they made it unwelcome.

In this same timeframe, latency on network cards became lower than latency to your drive controller. Reading something out of memory on another machine in the same data center was faster than getting it off of your own disk.

Meanwhile in an environment where all tasks are pretty isolated from each other, in-process caching is ungainly. Either you suffer with a low hit ratio, you do some sort of bizarre traffic shaping, or you do caching at the ingress point so you don't make the requests at all. But that informs your engineering priorities to such an extent most people don't like. But I see it as one of those "uncomfortable" things that Continuous Delivery advises you to face head-on. Cache invalidation is hard, yes. Wear a helmet.

So the shared-nothing people also liked these tools, which means you have two groups that probably normally wouldn't talk to each other pulling for the same team.

wages seem to be the last thing that rise with general inflation, and as such don't rise as much as other prices, especially the ones mentioned: housing, schooling.

I think the data bears this out, looking at 'real wages' vs inflation-adjusted cost of housing/schooling.

I could see how other sorts of stimulus would be preferable in this case though. All depends on who gets the benefit of spending new money on old prices.

Going back a comment, it depends on if you got into the loan (school, house) before the inflation. Or locked in a low rate. Always nice to pay back money that's worth much less.
That was what I thought! I’m a pretty anti-Facebook person, and I don’t have a profile anymore. But facebook has data on you both explicit and implicit. They can predict your mental health state, socioeconomic status, and they have tons of data on the formation of relationships and marriages. They can even predict who you like and who you’re going to date next. As creepy as that data is, why shouldn’t they use it to actually connect people who they would predict to be compatible? A huge problem for online dating platforms is making good suggestions, and Facebook is probably the most well equipped to address it.

PhotoStructure runs on a computer you own, or in the cloud, on a computer you rent. That could be a laptop you have, or a home server, your NAS, or a digitalocean droplet.

Your photos need to be available to that computer when they are imported into your library, either by being on a local hard drive, or mounted from a network fileshare.

Once your photos and videos are imported, the library can be moved or copied to other computers (say, rsync'ed to your droplet). Original photos and videos aren't required.

The PhotoStructure interface is via html/css. It runs a web server that is only available to localhost by default, but there are tools (like localtunnel and trycloudflare) that lets you access your library from any device that has internet access. I'm still building out multi-user support, but a library "owner" has full r/w access, and a "visitor" may see predetermined album contents
I suppose it depends on how those programs are funded/achieved. If they are funded via something that acts as monetary stimulus (just print the money to pay for it) then I imagine there would be a heavy burden of resulting inflation.

How does having two sims help with that? I switch out my SIM when I travel internationally, but I am still logged into all my accounts.
Yeah; the one I implemented used a different algorithm, and would have noted that there was no solution.

I basically just kept a "possibility space" for each empty cell (containing a list of all possible values it could be), started with the one with the smallest size > 0, tried a value as 'true', removed that possible value from all related cells (same row, column, 3x3), recursed. If an empty cell had a possibility space of 0, it would pop back off the stack, removing that prior 'possibility' and resume from there. If I ever got back to an empty stack, there was no solution.

I threw a few dozen puzzles at it, trying to pull ones that were hard both for humans and, ostensibly, for machines, but I never saw it take more than a couple seconds, and that in the most degenerate "had to try every possible permutation" cases. Hence why I really wish I'd kept the code to throw that one at.

I used d3.js back in 2016 and it was already at that time very nice, but I always had problems to keep control of it (a lot of code and the end-results sometimes didn't work 100% as intended as my code did not cover all possible constellations of potential input data).

If I remember correctly after a while I then tried Cytoscape ( https://cytoscape.org ) and coding was a lot simpler and the results were more stable. I then dropped the project but I left with a positive impression of Cytoscape. There was maybe as well some other good candidate, but I just cannot remember anymore... (something that was doing at that time initial experiments with WebGL as optional/secondary output-engine - was it Cytoscape or something else?) .

Of course if you need max flexibility and very special results then D3 is #1.

>yet the popular narrative remains that one is dogma while the other is pseudo-science.

Because it's not "the popular narrative", it's a factual statement. MBTI is unsupported pseudoscience while the Five-Factor Model is the more widely accepted model in psychology.

You seem fixated on the correlation point, as if that provides any validity to MBTI. For instance, you cite the study you mention being referenced on Wikipedia but ignore the numerous other studies cited in the lengthy section detailing the various criticisms and problems with MBTI. The article even opens with:

>Though the MBTI resembles some psychological theories, it is commonly classified as pseudoscience, especially as it pertains to its supposed predictive abilities. The test exhibits significant scientific (psychometric) deficiencies, notably including poor validity (i.e. not measuring what it purports to measure, not having predictive power or not having items that can be generalized), poor reliability (giving different results for the same person on different occasions), measuring categories that are not independent (some dichotomous traits have been noted to correlate with each other), and not being comprehensive (due to missing neuroticism).[10][11][12][13] The four scales used in the MBTI have some correlation with four of the Big Five personality traits, which are a more commonly accepted framework.

Your fixation on the correlation between the two models is noted, but MBTI otherwise lacks a valid scientific basis.

Again, you are simply wrong on the facts. MBTI is indeed pseudo-science, and selective use of sources doesn't change that. You keep trying to frame this as a popular misconception when it is simply the academic consensus.
The Redlock algorithm suggested for use with Redis has been the subject of some of criticism:

Kleppman is the author of Designing Data-Intensive Applications and generally someone whose opinion I trust in such things.

I love Redis and use it extensively at $dayjob, but I stick to Consul for managing distributed locks. Consul was built from the ground up to handle such things; Redis handles it as a bit more of an afterthought / consequence of other features.
