...it's the exact same difference like GL to modern 3D-APIs (like Metal, Vulkan or D3D12, or even D3D11). The cost for those Foo, Bar and Baz calls is paid once during the creation of the pipeline object which usually happens at the start of the application.

Making that pipeline object active during rendering is very cheap (about as cheap as one of those gl.Foo() calls).

I also thought more modern research on salt is more nuanced than 'salt is bad for you'. I think the newer understanding is that salt is only bad for people who are 'salt sensitive', in which case it increases blood pressure. Many people's blood pressure is not affected by salt, and there does not seem to be a negative effect for those people.

A venture capital fund isn't a checking account. You don't just withdraw from it. Funds deposited are governed by complicated contracts specifying how they'll be managed, and how their status will be reported. Failing to do this correctly for sure would be an SEC-enforceable thing, though I'm not expert enough to know exactly what they FBI sould get involved.
Why do you think that? The evidence you described does not support this conclusion; do you have access to some other private evidence you aren't sharing?

There are so many massive food myths in here. Sugar, carbohydrates and the resulting inflammation are what leads to excessive weight gain, not fat. If we ate similar levels of fat and way fewer carbs, we would be healthier. That's what the diet use to be in many western nations before the obesity trend that started just a few decades ago.

I think what this article highlights more than anything is that people still have no idea what is and isn't healthy in America and the west. It's so difficult to find food in groceries stores in America that isn't loaded down with sugar, starch or high fructose corn syrup.

It might help shed some light on the "why" that many people here seem to be asking here in the comments.
>> sugar is so much more energy dense

Nope. Sugar and protein are 4kcal per gram, fat is 9kcal per gram. So fat is over twice the energy density of sugar. It's just not absorbed as easily, and it does not cause insulin spikes.
No no no no no.

"It's worse when he once in a while gets a cool skin, because in his eyes it makes it all worth it."

THAT is the whole problem. Those rewards. Kids absolutely cannot understand how to cope with that feeling. Getting lucky and opening the thing they want becomes an expectation. They EXPECT to get lucky now.

You can talk to your kid without spending a dime, without letting them engage in the activity. What else are you just going to "try" and then talk about? Let him smoke some cigarettes, get cancer, and then say, see son, there's a lesson to be learned here...... no.
It becomes a bit of a tragedy of the commons. People elect awful governments who promise paradise and country’s economy craters resulting in mass exodus (Venezuela).

Why should Colombians or Chileans (or Americans) shoulder their poor choices of government and civil society?

If some country wants to grow unsustainably and follow unhealthy land use habits and then have problems, why should others shoulder that (outside of unforeseen natural) disasters?
Ideally, we'd have carless urban centers, with only buses, light rail, and small vehicles (bikes and scooters) allowed in a certain radius. This would allow greater density in the downtown area, eliminate most pollution, and promote general health, yet for some reason, nobody seems to propose it. It could even be coupled with free mass transportation in that region, since costs for running such a service would likely decrease (could probably even have it driverless since there aren't as many hazards).

The toughest nut to crack would be replacing trucks, which could probably be handled with either light rail handling goods or truck-only roads completely segregated from the rest of the roads (say, tunnel or overpass).
I've been using blockstack and your app, graphite, sometimes. But I've allways thought creating a Blockstack-Id is too 'nerdy' for normal friends of mine so they cannot use a whole list of good apps based on blockstack.

Appreciate the question. Not particularly - the work culture at my current employer is slowly killing me.

I have managed (through meds/therapy) depression/anxiety. The startup I'm currently working for has no work/life balance, which is severely starting to affect my health.

Engineers are on call all the time. Having to check email on nights and weekends is just a normal week now. There is very little task management, so everything is an emergency and needs to be done right away, regardless of prior tasks or schedule. My previously managed anxiety has gotten much worse from all this.

I'm burnt out, trying to make it another couple months to have enough saved up to take a sabbatical. There are days when I just want to quit and go buy a cabin somewhere and live there for a few years. I'm struggling.

If you could magically wave a wand and instantly replace a multi-trillion industry, maybe. But you can't. And so even the most radical of possible reforms will necessarily be incremental.

The other part of it is that Americans want mutually exclusive things--low prices and end-of-life services that will spare no expense. In the end any equitable system will have to choose the former, just as every other national system has. However, the people in those systems were never given the choice; their healthcare systems just evolved in that direction decades before modern revolutions in incomprehensibly expensive medical care. So Americans are being forced (by partisan politics) to make a decision no democracy can be reasonably expected to make.

The ACA was largely based on Hillary Clinton's 15+ years of footwork. The ACA is based on extensive examinations of foreign healthcare systems. If Democrats can't make the ACA work--because they can't overcome Republican opposition, because they're fickle and have turned their backs on it--then what hope is there of even more radical reforms?

I'm not saying single-payer isn't possible in the U.S. It's just not possible now. We'd have to wind our way there. But that's too much of an ask from our modern politics. The ACA could have been a stepping stone, instead leftist and populist Democrats just want to chuck it and start over, ignoring the fact that they'd be facing all the same impediments and problems of the ACA and a whole lot more, yet without any better answers.

"Other people do it" isn't an answer. Can I expect you to become a Warren Buffet or Bill Gates merely because they and you both exist? It's a non sequitur. You can't simply ignore path dependencies.

Are your comments simply being downvoted? If so, then that is not "HN" doing it, but instead your audience (other HN users) reading your comment, deciding it not 'worthy' (for whatever definition of 'worthy' they use) and pressing the downvote button next to the comment.

Which would imply that the solution might (if downvotes are the issue) be to consider how the content of your comments might be viewed by others and then try to adjust your commenting style so as to not be downvoted by others.
It's right here in bullet 1:

Plant based meat is "Improving Human Health", vs Animal based meat which according to them has "16% Increased cancer risk", and "21% Increased Heart Disease Risk.
You're actually ignoring the relevant part of recital 23:

"Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union."

In other words, don't offer a site in EU languages, accept EU currencies, or ship to the EU and GDPR does not apply (unless you are based there).

I used to have a weight problem when I grew up in an American suburb of Philly. I felt guilty eating fast food burgers, etc. Three decades later I live in a European capital and walk nearly everywhere. According to my watch I average over 10km per day, mostly without even trying. Now I eat burgers whenever I want and I'm normal body weight. Living in the city is better for the environment. So is eating plant-based food. The lesson here? You will probably always crave the same food but you have a choice where you live, how much you exercise, and what impact you have on the future of the planet. Fast food is never going to healthy enough for suburban couch potatoes who drive everywhere. That's not what it's for.

Blood libel. I've yet to see one real evidence for real spying, not some black cube (who are greedy pieces of shit, but are not part of Israel government), or some boogeyman story of possible suspicion.

Truth is, Israel barely has anything to gain while it has so much to lose from such espionage. It's not worth it. US is just so damn paranoid, that it will never believe that. These allegations are the new jewish blood libels, the "jews control everything and are omnipotent".
When a store has a single full-service line staffed and four self-service lines open, the presence of those self-service lines certainly seems to improve the situation, vs a single full-service line. But what if it were instead compared to five full-service lines? The five full-service lines would doubtlessly be the fastest.
My point was the post is misleadingly saying: "These 15 lines go away and are replaced by this 1 line".

That's not what's happening (unless I'm mistaken) and the code examples are comparing apples to oranges.
Without support from the USA, it would not be possible for Israel to defend itself. Much of their spying on the USA is not to harm the USA, but to ensure the USA is still on their side. I don't think they want to hurt the USA, but I do think they would support an opponent of a politician that had been "heard" expressing a lack of interest in financial and military support for Israel.

I like jump-to-scroll in conjunction with a mouse wheel for page-by-page scrolling. Unfortunately this combo is not as common as you'd expect, since most jump-to-scroll systems are ancient and predate the concept of the scroll wheel. Page up/Page down is an alternative to the scroll wheel, but somewhat less ergonomic when you're already clicking around a document.

At least there are some modern examples that get it right, like Firefox.

Plus, I find it pretty rare that I have a document that compresses the scroll bar that badly.

Huh? OP's allusion to "mild-discomfort" when talking about their career field leads you to respond with the patronizing suggestion that "most software engineers have a healthy circle of friends"? That's an unhelpful and presumptuous piece of advice, especially considering it's directed to someone who is opening up about their current mental health issues

C++ implementations sometimes optimize for storing short strings inside the string structure itself. One approach looks something like this on 64-bit machines:

struct string {
union {
struct {
char *ptr;
size_t capacity;
};
char str[16];
} data;
size_t length;
};

It looks complex, but it’s actually a really nice design because it requires no separate allocation for strings less than 16 bytes long, which is a common case, and the strings are relatively compact. And, it stores a capacity parameter which allows you to know when it’s safe to grow the string without allocating, making it possible to implement efficient repeated concatenation.

I can't presume to speak for the OP, but a statement like that might not help. (I don't mean you shouldn't have posted it; just that it may not have the positive effect on the OP that you're hoping for.)

For some people with existential dread, the "no reason at all" aspect is the exact basis of their unhappiness. It's the sadness of nothing, ultimately, mattering in any satisfying sense.

I'm not sure everybody can relate to this kind of sadness. It's definitely near the pinnacle of Lazlo's hierarchy of needs; I'm guessing it figures into his "transcendence" category.

They've said for a while that 5G wasn't coming to this generation. I think it's good they left it off. Apple doesn't bring in halfbaked features. They wait for the technology to be stable.

5G is far from that. It requires reworked battery technology, antenna systems, and we don't even have a complete picture of the effects on our health. The phones that have 5G currently have terrible battery life and are hundreds of dollars more expensive than their non-5G counterparts. All for the 20 or so cities that have it.

Once the technology is actually ready for primetime, Apple will include it. And it will work way better than anything you're seeing right now.

Yes, this article is very close to being the dumbest possible take. It is difficult to believe it's sincere.

For me - first and foremost is climate impact of livestock, particularly cows. Second is the ethics of current meat production and animal cruelty - the "one bad day" approach to livestock is far more ethical and not at all compatible with current meat consumption and prices. Third is the non-climate impact of livestock like antibiotic overuse and massive monetary and unpriced land use subsidies given to the industry.
Here in the UK they are illegal (unless used on private land), which is sad as whilst they are illegal as technically a motor vehicle, needing some form of test, insurance, mot.... That has not happened and in limbo as clearly a need for some standards control etc, but an unwillingness to address that and more so a periodic fashion stopping of people upon such vehicles in an apathetic way that causes many to get one, go months, even years without knowing they are breach of the law and driven past many police/traffic wardens, then suddenly one day they stop you and caution you saying you can't. They then go back to ignoring it as a low-priority issue and the limbo of not legal as no formal way to allow one, yet readily sold and accessible.

So for the UK, such rise is randomly curtailed and no progress upon legal avenues to use them as you would intend beyond private land - which many do not own in London, an area in which such modes of transport are most suited.

While I agree with your main point, I think it’s important to note that this is about a handful of hotspots like Trolltunga and Pulpit Rock. I can’t see any Scandinavian politician seriously suggesting to abolish allemannsretten as such, and Norway has thousands and thousands of square kilometres where it is working just fine.
