The article says:

> Of course, there are exceptions. When patients are acutely ill, or changing regimens, or finding that their blood sugar is not well controlled, testing may be appropriate.

So about the regimens: unless the patient eats the same every week (same ingredients, same quantities) without any significant variation, it’s still the way to go IMHO. General guidelines can be followed by the patient but usually they don’t have that much nutrition knowledge to judge if a new food is going to hurt them (besides the most obvious sugary stuff). There are exceptions and all that.

I supported a member of my family who’s gone from pre-diabetic to dangerous levels of A1c (well beyond “need insulin”, more like “go to the ER right now”) and the regular pricking helped a lot to know what could still be eaten (full keto wasn’t an option).

And even this story has a happy end: no insulin and very minimal pre-diabetes medication. Regular pricking still happens when significant (usually healthy) changes in diet happen and it helped to detect what should be avoided. And luckily it’s affordable.

Disclaimer: not a doctor, just a nutrition freak.
That would be a great argument if it meant there was no chance of future violence. But it doesn't, so it's not.
Wait, you're telling me Israel is doing something wrong?

Impossible!

The holocaust!

Israelis are beyond reproach!
Israel and Saudi Arabia being allies of America doesn't mean that murdering journalists critical of Saudi Arabia is in America's interests (or for that matter, Israel's.)

It would be hard to even make the case that the murder was good for Saudi Arabian interests. It was apparently done for Mohammad bin Salman and it's a stretch to say that the interests of Mohammad bin Salman are categorically the interests of Saudi Arabia.
The key is to regularly clean out the shelves. Those books you're never going to re-read, those movies you haven't watched in a decade? Just give them away, to friends/family or thrift stores. Keep your collection at manageable size, only keep the ones that actually mean something to you.

I even do that with my digital music collection, just to make it easier to keep an overview.
Nokia is a perfect example of corporate arrogance: “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost” said the CEO at the time. Yet they did everything wrong.
That’s exactly like bypassing the electrical grid.

It’s like having a “free” street light and, instead of just enjoying the light, you pull its cables and plug your AC in.

Or even just let those users alone. Users aren't stealing service if it's not even the same service. It's much slower than buying wifi from the captive portal.

DNS tunnelling is not fast or convenient. Places deploying captive portals have probably looked at the risk to their business from it and have decided not to worry about it.

I can't believe that using a slow DNS connection, intentionally made public, to tunnel traffic would be considered theft or criminal.

How many free samples do I have to eat before I'm a theif? I don't believe I'm a thief until the offer for free samples is rescinded.
I think what isn’t fully realized in this article is that the real abundance is in the choices we have today.

You can subscribe to Spotify or some equivalent, but you can also buy CDs, buy Vinyls, DRM-free versions of just that one song you want off an album, you can play the song you want off the Piano, or find it in a game, or listen to the radio (AM, FM, even Satellite!), or go to a live show, or download someone else’s recording of a live show. You can partake in all of these ways or any combination thereof, and I forgot to even mention music boxes!

I think it’s more fair to say “Everything is amazing, but you don’t have to own all of it to enjoy it”. Some things are tangible and worth having in a hard copy so to speak, and some things are ephemeral so enjoy them while you can, for nothing and no things last forever.
I prefer Inferno but Oberon is interesting. The papers aren't a bad read either.
Also agree. My favourite places to work (most of which are strange): In the car (recharging my EV), in Macdonald's (breakfast combo is surprisingly good), travelling on the shinkansen here in Japan (though I can't really afford it ;-) ), at the hot springs (a few allow me to stay for only about $10 a day, bath included), sitting on my favourite rock at a particular shrine if the weather is nice.

Everyone is different, so it's always a good idea to test out a spot to see if you can work there or not before you do it for paid work. However, I will occasionally do something crazy like travel for a day on the train with my wife, stay overnight in a hotel and travel back. It is very surprisingly one of the most productive times for me.

I really miss the office, though. I'm half a world away so it is very rare that I have the opportunity to use it.

This is precisely why I ditched Spotify and went back to a local music collection.

I got sick and tired of albums disappearing and reappearing at random, ruining my playlists. Some of my favorite albums were gone for months at a time, with no warning. Not to mention the terrible state of Spotify's catalogue and curation. Wrong information, spelling errors, multiple artists with identical names being confused, you name it.

With my local collection, I can fix the tags and keep track of the correct information.

If they had the culture of acquiring up and coming start-ups, such as the one making Android, there would have been an excellent result. I fell like most EU based companies lack such culture, and the result is that once great companies face great failures (unless the EU bails them out or taxes their competitors).
Good on the Notepad++ devs. They've had Tiananmen-themed release notes in the past as well.

Edit:

Remember when GitHub started allowing removing issues, rather than just closing them? People got all wound up saying that issues shouldn't be totally removed and there should be a public record of the maintainer closing it.

This is a perfect example of what that feature enables. The maintainers can, if they want, just go in and remove all these issue reports. It totally removes any power that troll accounts have.

Rockstar has removed licensed music and other content from their games post-purchase.

In the case of GTA San Andreas, the version on steam is now closer to the mobile/tablet version, with significant gameplay changes over the original release.

Comparing it to my original copies on PS2 and pre-Steam PC, it's very different.

Patches should be for fixing bugs, not taking away things people purchased.
You should try the new scrimmage mode. The matchmaking there surprisingly works much better than on ranked matches.

I.e. most of the times there are 2 good guys, 2 mediocre guys, and 1 beginner in each team. I've had a lot of actually fun 15:15 games there.
From the notes:

"People will tell me again to not mix politics with software/business. Doing so surely impacts the popularity of Notepad++: talking about politics is exactly what software and commercial companies generally try to avoid. The problem is, if we don’t deal with politics, politics will deal with us. We can choose to not act when people are being oppressed, but when it’s our turn to be oppressed, it will be too late and there will be no one for us. You don’t need to be Uyghur or a Muslim to act, you need only to be a human and have empathy for our fellow humans."
Almost exactly the same experience. FastMail is definitely worth paying for, the custom domain ability is great and would make switching in future less painful. Firefox has never been better.

Don't delay, the sooner you make the switch, the better. I wish I'd done it earlier.

No, they are not. Thinking they are does not make it so and it just leads to poor typesetting. The typographers I know typically have a BA from an engineering college. The advent of desktop publishing and later other forms of electronic publishing has hollowed out the field.
Respect for people who take a stand for important issues.

I understand the value of not wanting to bring politics into a shared large tech community, but at the same time you should be able to do what you want with your own software, and using it to push your ideals is legit.

We must remember though that this should also apply to ideas we don't agree with.
You need let go of the idea of "coolness", or outwardly directed motivation as the primary/only motivation, and it will make more sense to you. Sure some people want to look cool, but I (and I'd wager many skin buyers), just want a nice looking gun.
I'm floored that this is apparently how people are reasoning about the world now. Especially on HN.

There is no circumventing of any access control here. If a service is giving a public access point, on public spectrum, and they let you connect, and they allow you to use DNS, you should be able to use DNS however their access control systems allow you to use it.

Now if you find an exploit in their captive portal that allows you access to their service, then sure, that's illegal, because you're breaking into something.

You can't circumvent access controls if the access control list is wide open.

There should first be a good base of teaching assistant funding with enough free time to do research work. A lottery for extra PhD grants would indeed work well on top of this. Often the key is simply top-k grades now for those grants.

The problem is that the more skill you have, the more effort you need to put in while playing. So if you get too good you can't have a fun relaxed game anymore (without getting wrecked and losing rank). Smurfing (playing on lower rank) or cheating (playing effortlessly at your real rank) would be a solution for that... but they are obviously bad and unfair for others.
The new scrimmage mode seems to be a promising solution for that though.
git checkout puts files from the repository into your working directory. For convenience, it will also update the HEAD ref if you check out the full contents of a branch.

I'm not sure what's so confusing about it. Are people thinking of their entire git workdir as the repository? I suppose the fact that .git is often in the same directory as the checkout might lead to people not thinking of them as separate entities.
Indeed, a traditional camera with the post-processing of a smartphone would be incredible.

But indeed, camera manufacturers are way way way behind. The best they can do at the moment is find faces on a picture (and still, not that well except on Sony cameras). This is disappointing to say the least.

The Zeiss ZX1 runs Android, but I don't know how much computational photography it provides, since all the reviews about it only emphasize the fact that it can run Lightroom (which sounds completely useless).

>in that the Oberon language is a relatively integrated part of the operating system

>There were some spiritual predecessors where the compiler itself was part of the OS

Sounds very much like forth or lisp to me, (and perhaps even erlang etc). Any language that's implemented like a virtual machine internally is suited to being an "integrated" operating system.

I think there's a tremendous amount of advantages to doing this as well, it reduces the levels of abstractions between the hardware and the user applications. Reduced level of abstractions means a snappier experience for the users, and also makes it easier for the developer to integrate things vertically.

http://tunes.org touches on this type of thing as well

> it's a stretch to say that the interests of Mohammad bin Salman are categorically the interests of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has been an extremist, terrorist plutocratic religious dictatorship since the house of saud was influenced by the terrorist philosopher Wahabbi.

Bin Salman matches the character of the average Saudi, I've spent a great deal of time there.
My definition of terrorism does not include voting, I can tell you that much.

Peaceful demonstrations were also organized, and there’s no ex ante way with this system to target the violations to perpetrators (or to set up any judicial safety check, although in Spain I’m told that would not make much of a difference).

Spain keeps crossing all of the red lines we have set as europeans, and yet our governments will do nothing because they want to avoid troubling the euro even more. This is a recipe for disaster if I ever saw one.
That jump, however stupid it was at the time, is the key to Nokia existing at all in its current form.

The Nokia management used the Microsoft money to buy Siemens part of NSN (Nokia Siemens Networks) and managed to turn it around somewhat, in a situation where it looked like Ericsson and Huawei were going to be the only survivors.

I was working for a subcontractor to Nokia during 2010-2016 and we were dumbfounded in the beginning, but as the years went on that turned into a belief that Nokia scammed Microsoft in that sale.
> For convenience, it will also update the HEAD ref if you check out the full contents of a branch.

Not quite accurate. From the root of the repo, `git checkout foo -- .` will checkout the entire contents of the branch without updating HEAD.

I used to think that, but life gets complicated. How do you transmit a commit with its history? It used to be you just sent a single hash, now you would have to send all the commits of the whole history. Also how would you merge repositories with different histories?

I spend some time thinking about and I couldn't come up with anything sensible which wouldn't lead to history being effectively brokenm
The fact that a prisoner was a politician does not make him/her a political prisoner.
I think the reason for why the commit hash has to change is that a commit represents the entire state of a repository, not just the change made in the commit. Being able to take a sequence of commits and insert them into a repository just is not a thing that makes sense in git's model.

If you just hashed diffs, you would not get whole-repo integrity guarantees.

It is possible to go the other way with patch theory (see Darcs) but it's far from trivial to implement performantly.
