The key is word Whole, a whole food plant-based diet is the only diet documented to reverse the progression of heart disease.

The reversal of heart disease with this diet has been proven decades ago - https://nutritionfacts.org/2011/10/14/heart-disease-there-is...

No one knows the exact cause of diabetes, there could several causes. Processed foods are not whole foods. White flour, marguerine, processed sugar, cheetoes, that's a not a whole food it's not comparable to potatoes and bananas.

Here is the opinion of one of the leading experts in Diabetes, Neal Barnard - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S51D07bvlPY

He mentions that diabetes seems to be linked to an excessive consumption of fat, that inhibits the absortion of sugar.

He has studies published showing that a whole-food plant based diets in some cases has made the person stop taking insuline altogether.

> Following the outcry, Apple decided to admit the HKmap.live app to the App Store yesterday, where it is now available to download. The app developers were happy with this outcome, saying that they believed the decision was more of a bureaucratic issue rather than a political decision and writing, “We understand @Apple have many business considerations, but since they already make thing right I don’t see any point to keep pressing.”

Why the notion that gov't should be the provider & arbiter of all? Why do none of the "they don't pay enough taxes" crowd not realize the rich do so much of, and more efficiently, what the gov't purports to with massive overhead? Job creation, charity, arts funding, lowering costs of necessities, etc - and at levels & locations which gov't would never achieve.

The "tax/soak the rich" notion seems almost entirely punitive, not productive. Yeah Musk has $billions, he's also creating thousands of jobs (direct & indirect), making the expensive affordable, improving environment, etc - and able to because he's very rich. Even the "mean" rich create jobs & markets etc that gov't can't.

Absolutely it is not valuable.

Parents spending time with kids over activities that are mutually pleasant or just talking or doing needed activities are valuable. Third party organized nonsense that just needs to be done has no intrinsic "time together" value.

And in case of bad parents, it puts the kid at mercy of bad parent even more.

Yeh I've never purchased a single loot box, and I play roughly once or twice a week since it was launched. I'm currently sitting at about 75% coverage for skins and what not, with 22,000 credits. Just playing the game, gets you more than enough.
It's unlikely that the final image displayed is 180kb for a 256 * 240 resolution, this would imply that the color uses 3 bytes (RGB). i think it's coded in one byte (256 colors).

So i'd say the final image would be 60 kbytes. Can someone confirm ?
It is not necessary. You probably achieve similar results with ansible+selinux+vpn I suppose.

But it has its uses. For instance, putting all your services in a private network and only expose port 80 and 443. Images gives your reproducibility even when your build system is not. The image validated is the one deployed. Disencentive hand editing in prod ...

Basically nothing you can not do you yourself. It just simplify (and potentially accelerate) some deployment processes.
Most of the support for Brexit came from tabloid newspapers owned by the ultra-rich.

Polls in the 2010-15 timeframe consistently showed that Britain's European relationship didn't even make the top 5 of issues amongst voters. Consistently fewer than 6% listed Europe as their most important issue:
https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2018/12/11/1544504400000/The-onl...

Today more than 50% see Europe as the most important political issue. Yet nothing of substance changed in Britain's relationship with the EU in the past decade. Support for Brexit was manufactured and is draining the oxygen from solving UK's actual problems.
I taught science in grades 3-8 in low income US schools. The main difference between 3-5 and 6-8 is puberty. These humans are undergoing the most radical shift in their hormones and behavioral regime in their entire life. They go from caring what their teacher thinks to caring what their peers think; the kids get louder, stronger, less respectful of authority, more likely to join gangs or do drugs. Everyone gets a lot more talkative and disruptive. Middle schoolers are simply the hardest age group to teach.
Yes, but now it's pulled again. The link you have is from October 6th.
Referencing the person I was responding to, the point I wanted to make is: Cruelty and sadism is inherently human. Sometimes, even elementary school children show it. Once the hormones of puberty rush in, the issue gets worse. Young age does not protect one from being a monster.

The little bullying I have seen among adults is laughable compared to school.

Apple Removes Quartz News App from the Chinese App Store over Hong Kong Coverage
A Guide to New and Experimental CSS DevTools in Firefox
The problem that us Chinese see is the level of hypocrisy at play here. The narrative on the entire HK suppose is in the name of freedom and evil of China and thus democracy must be the solution. Iraq has been "liberated" with democracy and yet the outcry is not an issue. I make no judgment on the merits of democracy, but if the West continues to play the propaganda narrative behind a fear of threat it is hard to justify the reasoning thrown around.
This is a follow-on to that, it's been removed again.
I mostly really like PowerShell, and it works for Windows where the CLR is now part of the OS. I do wish there was a Linux equivalent but lighter weight, but so far all I've seen are attempts to shoe-horn existing unix programs into that model. I wish there was a ground-up rewrite, an entire environment that used a PowerShell-like object model with no legacy dependencies.
On the other hand people are comfortable paying actual money for hardware but expect websites to be free.

> If you ask people "should we protect the weak?", at the end of the day, people will answer "no, it's too difficult to protect the weak"

Isn't "protecting the weak" the whole point of civilized society over barbarism? Life is hard enough already, why make it even harder by tolerating aggressive and violent behavior from others?

It's not "toughening up" anyone, it's creating an environment where the worst offenders are precisely those who perceive themselves as "winners" and as "stronger" than others. Surely that has to be totally misguided - the only people who would support this are those who are themselves inclined towards bullying, and towards developing contempt and hate for their perceived outgroups.
> any ClojureScript app includes the Clojure core APIs

Shouldn't be also the case of Elm apps? But they are tiny. Probably Re-frame wrapping React (and Redux?) doesn´t help at all. Why not being native (like Elm) or kind of a Svelte wrapper[1] to keep apps small? I really like Clojure expressiveness but I hate waste.

Getting Your Twitter Timeline as an Email Digest Using AWS
I'm surprised by this statement. Most of the research in automatic theorem proving (including for first and higher order logics) is based on classical logic, because it's much easier to reduce to a search for false, than to try and prove an arbitrary formula. The automatic provers able to do intuitionistic proofs generally do it by encoding the intuitionistic logic into a classical logic first.

Look at these provers, they're almost all based on classical logic, and even on proofs by contradiction:
http://www.tptp.org/CASC/27/SystemDescriptions.html

Even Isabelle/HOL, which is quite user friendly and has a lot of automation (like Sledgehammer, which can call to the automatic provers mentioned above) is based on classical logic with choice.
People who have been out of the school system for a while should watch Bo Burnham's "Eighth Grade". It's an incredibly accurate take on what being in middle school is like, especially today where your self-worth can fluctuate based on the amount of likes your last Instagram post got.
Who did? We did. We pushed a "STEM uber alles" education policy, cut funding for art and music classes in the public schools, insisted that the only justification for higher education is getting "a good job", and discourage the young by pushing the message that anybody who can't monetize their art has no business even trying to do art.

We live in a suicide society.

Similar in Switzerland.

Years 1-6 are for everyone. Then either:

- 3 years of Realschule

- 3 years of Sekundarschule

- 6 years of Gymnasium (where one earns the possibility to go to Uni)

Though it is quite normal to upgrade from Sek to Gymi 2 years in.

The first two options are then followed by an apprenticeship (3-4y) during or after which one can also earn the ability to go to Uni, with some limitations. These limitations can be removed by upgrading that piece of paper, which takes a year.

Complicated and I’m sure I forgot a few things. Point is that there are many paths and upgrading is quite possible.

Also having a large part of the population trained in a trade Is fantastic.

I'm confused about the thesis of the article. It seems like the article's purpose isn't to describe NES graphics, but instead to talk about PNG vs JPG files?

The article starts as "Great question Dion!", but it never actually says what the original question was. (Or if the question was "Where do all the pixels come from", then that's an inadequate question and doesn't seem to serve as a thesis for the article)

EDIT 2: It seems like the HN title "Super Mario Bros. game was just 31 Kilobytes. How's that possible?" is misrepresentative.
It was re-removed:
It was Apple’s second reversal on HKmap.live, which it initially rejected and then allowed to appear on its App Store. The latest about-face came after the People’s Daily, the Chinese Communist Party’s official newspaper, said in a blog post this week that the app had “betrayed the feelings of the Chinese people.” The article accused the app’s anonymous developer of harboring malicious motives and queried whether Apple was an accomplice of “rioters.”

Or even a control group to whom you offered gift cards for things other than food, phone calls etc.

Though I agree with you, sounds suspiciously like the group who was depressed became less depressed as they felt someone cared about them.
Pubs arguably were community organizations.

This days, though, a lot of people find it unsavory to spend their time around others who are consuming alcohol. Also, when political and social faultlines run deep, not everyone is confortable in environments where there is no guarantee that the other people there share one's worldview and ethics.
He's also giving thousands of people jobs, making necessities available to millions at low prices, and paying enormous amounts in total taxes. Can gov't really do more with his money than he can? Do you really want to disincentivize what he does for humanity?
Google/Apple where is the catch?
Browsers look more and more capable as an application deployment platform. They give developers a chance to bypass those pesky issues of being at a mercy of Apple/Google/Whatever app stores.

For example since browser currently exposes Bluetooth LE and WebGL I am thinking of moving one of my products (namely virtual bike training platform) to a browser.

If I do this, then how Google/Apple will control me then? Or they will at some point require web apps to be certified (practically turning it to another app store) to run on their browsers?
The main difference there is that processing sugar is absolutely vital to the functioning of a cell. If you'd actually lose the ability to process sugar there is no amount of insulin that will save you from death.
Never did I assert the need to learn category theory to write Haskell. I was speaking of my own experience and if you can understand the underlying category and type theory that goes on behind the scenes implicitly and can write Haskell programs without ever thinking of the theory behind them that is awesome. Personally I don’t like languages that feel like magic so I strive to learn what is behind the abstractions and for me that meant getting a deeper understanding of category theory. Furthermore I feel as a computer scientist the more math I can learn and absorb the deeper my understanding grows on a multitude of subjects. Sorry if my post came off as flipped I was simply trying to use humour to accentuate the difference in the conceptualization of Haskell vs. a non-pure procedural language.

>Just to be pedantic... in some contexts better brakes actually allow you to go faster.

Yes, and in other contexts, better brakes make you go slower. Better brakes means bigger brakes: larger rotors (discs), larger and heavier calipers, etc. Larger brake rotors take more energy to accelerate (they're basically a bigger flywheel), so they decrease the car's acceleration. So if your goal is to have a car that accelerates as fast as possible, better brakes are actually a big detriment.

While we cannot say never, we know enough about the laws of physics to say that FTL won't happen. While there are still unknowns in physics, since those unknowns have to decay to our known physics in all areas we currently know about. That makes finding a loophole hard - assuming one exists.

Note that some physics predicts loopholes, but it isn't clear if they are real loopholes or places where out model isn't right in some detail.

Well, anyway, my point is pretty valid. If photography is not as much dependent on skills from your perspective (I wasn't talking about weddings and landscapes anyway) take something else. It really applies to everything.

Maybe music is a better fit? As someone that even actively plays piano I am still 100% confident that someone like Beethoven would run a better show on a $40 Casio keyboard than I would on a Yamaha C5.

Building an E-Commerce Marketplace Middleware in Clojure
Remember this the next time you are learning something from a tech blog.
Humanity is pretty dim already. This kind of situation is quite complex, from socio-economic factors, education, access to healthy food (including taking the time to cook), to medical issues that are often mentioned but usually dismissed (as I've described in another comment, you can quite easily get uncontrollably obese with an antipsychotic or antidepressive medication -- and given the society's speed of development and ever increasing work requirements, it's not hard to see why a lot of people would have mental health issues) (not to mention actual hormonal disorders that can actually prevent a person from being able to feel full).

In my opinion, it's helpful to look at the human body as a biological machine. The mind itself is at the mercy of it's vessel, the brain. Thoughts are electrical impulses enhanced with chemical neurotransmitters. A change can quite literally cause a person to change their mind (literally, i.e. a hard-vegan and animal rights activist having a stroke and becoming a caricature of a meat eater, in worse cases a complete replacement of someone's personality and memories).

The human body is not below the mind, rather, they work together. An incident can initiate a never-ending cycle that ends in obesity and ultimately death.

Self control is not the panacea people think it is. The concious mind cannot override most if not all built-in impulses. Can you choose not to have sex? No. If you ask "why would I", that is already heavily influenced by the impulses built into the structure of the nervous system. A basic part of human existence. If you get over that part, sooner or later you will experience mental health issues beyond your control and ultimately forget your initial idea of celibacy. I have used this example and not eating, or excretion of waste, as technically sexual activity has no influence on the body's homeostasis and internal proceses.

Some people have a different priority list, including overeating. I do not think that ANY obese person has ever conciously made the decision to overeat and be miserable, sick and die earlier.

In any case, I agree with your part about parenting. It is incredibly negligent. Not introducing a child to the concept of overeating will in a lot of cases prevent obesity. However, some people are biologically predisposed to have less self control. This does not have to imply obesity and overeating.

On my own example, I have never smoked a cigarette, taken any psychoactive substance, or drank alcohol. I know that had I done any of those things, it would become an obsession to me. My father is an alcoholic drug addict who smokes a lot. My mother is just a heavy smoker. Some people cannot control themselves, and the long-term success rates of drug rehabilitation and AA/smoking quitters show that.
I was trying draw the distinction between being forced to comply and enforcing, but I guess I did not get it right, or maybe I can't really get it right. I feel like enforcing is making someone else do something, while complying is doing it personally yourself, perhaps wilfully, perhaps not. So the managers are enforcing by coercing their employees to comply with immoral laws, and I think that is immoral.

This is such a tired take. Is it not possible to just believe that a person shouldn’t HAVE to pay more (percentage-wise) in taxes because they’re successful - while at the same time, be fine with the credits / deductions available to the less fortunate? I can’t be the unicorn here.
The non-obese are the ones being punished. They are having to foot the bill and subsidize. Putting the cost onto the people who make the lifestyle choice is just being fair.

I fully support the choices people make, but these choices come with costs that people need to take responsibility for.
This is always a question of perspective. Academia will always try to belittle practice oriented publications. HBR, SloanMR or Business Horizons are all written by academics who have not completely moved away from hands on practice advice.
