I can’t speak for OP, but most fasts of this kinds allow drinking water at the very least, and sometimes even light broths like chicken broth. Religious fasts, on the other hand, often don’t even allow drinking water.
Project x would replace stimulus. But you would still use turbolinks. It supports it out of the box.
> The museum made no creative choices.

This is not really true. 3D scanners are far from perfect, and getting good useful results does involve making artistic and technical choices. I did my PhD on reconstructing surfaces from laser scan data, and spent long hours comparing different methods and parameter values in minute detail - there's a lot of flexibility, even when the goal is the best possible fidelity.

I do think claiming copyright goes against the purpose of museums, though.
> His body began to adapt to the lack of food by burning its own fat stores for energy.

Yeah that's called metabolism and happens whenever anyone loses weight.
Is there a point though, when badly written code becomes so hard to maintain and improve, that people would just avoid doing that altogether?

The reason "badly written" works for Open Source is that if code is useful - there will be someone in the future who will refactor it. In proprietary setting that only happens when the fate of the company itself (or a large chunk of the business) is at stake. Otherwise stagnation is king.

yes definitely consult a lawyer, it might introduce complications working with US companies.

There might be other ways you can structure his compensation that would be better for the company, maybe as a profit share and a bonus if the company sells that matches up to what would be his % ownership.

It's all in how you rate your engine. Comparing car engines to aircraft engines is apples to oranges since they are not rated the same way.

An aviation engines leaves a decent amount of power on the table in order to be able to claim near continuous duty cycle . Look at their power outputs. They're abysmal compared to similar displacement automotive engines (for something using 100 octane) by the standards of the time they were designed because they are designed for continuous duty If car engines didn't care so much about max power they'd have a higher duty cycle at max power or conversely if aircraft engines cared more about max power it would be easy to make them output greater peak power at which they can't live almost indefinitely.

The heavy equipment section of your local craigslist is littered with stuff powered by boring old automotive engines that are rated at a power output (slightly lower than what they would be rated at in cars/trucks) and given sufficient cooling to run indefinitely at that output.
True, on paper sounds horrible but it's not done in any kind of vindictive bullying manner or in a jock locker room way. New hires feel more confident communicating instead of panicking and not telling anybody. Code quality attacks like OP described don't come off as personal, so nobody is silently seething because they've been offended. It eliminated all bs notions about work place 'teams' when in reality we're competing with each other every day for more recognition, bonuses, promotions. Everywhere else I worked people did this anyway but behind other's backs, which to me is truly negative and a shitty dysfunctional work environment. The latest new hire said this was the only office where there was no anxiety of coming to work because fucking up wasn't the end of the world anymore.

How is it a personal server if I need a personal server to run it? Am I buying compute power on other people's computers? Also, why call it an OS if it doesn't replace existing ones?
Not yet but have plans to leave tech and do fish farming someday.
Been fasting on and off for a while now, maybe 1-2 days every week. The effects are immediately noticeable, on about day 3 i feel better. A week later i see the weight loss, better skin, etc. It's a good feeling that everyone should try at least once.

Disclaimer: I eat like garbage so it's more likely that not eating garbage is having these positive effects, not just fasting.
Unfortunately for parrots, they cannot evolve larger brains without giving up flying. I suspect that birds in general have very optimized brains because of the weight constraints.
And I'm still waiting for Tesla to actually make/sell a CCS adapter for their cars (at least from my perspective, being in the US).
That being said, the supercharger network currently does a much better job of meeting my actual needs than any non-Tesla charging options I've run across. (An area where destination charging options could also use vast improvement.)

They power down some, but not much: the thrust of jet engines is significantly lower at typical cruising altitudes (because of reduced air density), so it takes almost as much power to cruise as to climb to altitude.
Lots of creative fact-ery in this article. Just for one, take the assertion: "In any case, the counterculture was always a middle-class phenomenon." One of the primary features of CC was rejection of middle-class values. See 'The Graduate'. Listen to 'Crown of Creation'.

There are lots of open source mentorship programs, some of them accept the kind of folks you are talking about:

https://github.com/fossjobs/fossjobs/wiki/resources#internsh...
https://github.com/tapaswenipathak/Open-Source-Programs

I found the best way to contribute to open source is to dive in. Contributing to the open source things you use by fixing issues affecting you is a common way to get involved. If the software you use doesn't have any downsides that affect you, usually they will have an issue tracker, sometimes with "newcomer" tags. In the worse case you can always find some spelling errors using codespell or similar, get those fixed and proceed from there to other static analysis tools and then to reviewing the code and fixing any issues you find.

Thanks for this. A few weeks ago I struggled for an hour to update my firmware from Ubuntu 19.10. Eventually I gave up and figured it would be easier to go through the normal channels so I created a second SD card with Raspbian to do firmware updating.
The more I read articles like this (or pretty much ANY article recently), the more I'm convinced that what we really need is: transparency.

I don't mean just AI, but transparency on everything: Transparency from researchers, news outlets, governments, retailers, and YouTubers. It's a great shame that a lot of IT has been used for bringing more confusion and obfuscation to the people, whereas it could be used to provide a more coherent/honest view of the world. We should demand more transparency on every matter.
There was some discussion[0] about this a few months ago... (where I was involved & sparked the discussion), and the conclusion was that SBCL & C interop is not as good for emacs.

SBCL doesn’t allow lisp functions to be called from C without crossing the conversion line two times, which would be inefficient (esp. since the C functions are written in C for fast speed).

I personally think that even with the overhead, adopting SBCL would be an overall improvement, but I’m not maintaining emacs so...

I know multiple people with type two diabetes who aren't overweight. They have good genes with regards to weight, yet bad genes with regards to blood sugar. One of these people runs every day.

Carbs are not bad for you in moderation, but if your body is drowned in them you can easily develop blood sugar problems, especially if you're predisposed to it. Otherwise, if you're highly active and aren't constantly eating more calories than you burn then of course you will have a healthy weight.

I'm not being anti carb or anything. It's just waaaaaay easier to cut them out, lose a bunch of weight, then reintroduce them in moderation, than to try and burn off an excess of calories each day via intense exercise.

The terms set tasting and dry fasting are sometimes used to distinguish between fasting from food and fasting from eating and drinking. For weight loss fasting, it's usually wet fasting if not specified.
This guy’s blood glucose being at 36mg/dL (2mmol/L) for months at a time is insane to me. I’ve had an ambulance called when mine was around 45 and I was so loopy I couldn’t form a sentence or stand up without falling right back down.

Im not sure what your first point is attempting to accomplish. I said good parents and you are always going to be able to find one off exceptions and people who have seemingly wonky ideas about child rearing. A good parent on average will try and instill those good characteristics you mentioned in all their children whether boys or girls.

If your trying to say that the home care that more traditional or conservative women engage in is fundamental to society than I agree. So why do you want to push women to less fundamental roles in society?

You seem to only few attributes that are traditionally ascribed to men in a negative light. I dont think that bar fights or any other negative activity are necessary that is why men should use their natural tendencies in a good and productive manner as well as should women.

All of the 'positive' traits that you listed have an underlying negative connotation. Assert their own desires, Easily talk in public are not fundamental traits. Im not sure what you mean by 'use their own physical force'. It looks like you view men as mostly toxic.

So you think that men and women should be as indistinguishable from one another as possible? I am one of those people who celebrate diversity by realizing that the differences among genders and cultures ect.. are what makes life interesting.

By erasing gender lines you seem to mean erasing men and making them women. Wouldn't it be healthier for both genders to express their natural attributes in a positive way?
You seem out of touch with the scientific literature, and have hand-waved all the real health benefits I've listed.

Leading figures like Peter Attia, Tim Ferriss, Ben Greenfield, David Sinclair, Kevin Rose to name a few, all pro fasting, all in top shape/low body fat.

> and you become very injury prone

No, you become temporarily weaker, and that's only if you're fasting multiple days. It's recommended you work out during fasts... your body remains anabolic to muscle (barring other variables like elevated stress).
That's cute but I guarantee you don't actually maintain at "under 7%" unless you are emaciated. Neither calipers nor electrical impedance tests measure accurately (which is what you are probably using). DEXA scans or hydrostatic tests are the only way to. And I guarantee that you are probably more like 11-13%.

Nostalgia dialed to 11 for me (pun intended). I missed these “simpler times,” where the technology world was filled with those who built and cared about it, filled with blind optimism. I grew up in SF and started attending 2600 meetings with Adrian Lamo at age 12 (RIP). It’s unbelievable looking back on all of this how accepting adults were of my youth and were so willing to chat with me and give me equipment, etc despite my young age. I first was on BBSes about age 7!

Now the same people who used to make fun of me for my computer interests are working for Twitter. How the world changes once there’s money and mainstream success in something. I can’t help but feel slightly bitter about it, especially as I see all of the negativity now spreading across technology what with the great firewall, misinformation, and all.
But they all install the Google Play Store. How hard would it be for Google to have a big banner when you open the Play Store “Get the Google Messaging App for a better experience.”
Back in the day, all BBS's were dark mode.

Then the web went bright around Web 2.0.

I also would like dark mode, but by default and not requiring a login with preferences.
For all the other commenters who couldn't understand what the heck this is (like myself)... Wikipedia at least gives a fairly straightforward explanation [1]:

> Urbit is a decentralized personal server platform. The platform seeks to deconstruct the client-server model in favour of a federated network of personal servers in a peer-to-peer network with a consistent digital identity.

> The Urbit software stack consists of a set of programming languages ("Hoon," a high-level functional programming language, and "Nock," its low-level compiled language); a single-function operating system built on those languages ("Arvo"); a personal address space, built on the Ethereum blockchain, for each instance of the operating system to participate in a decentralized network ("Azimuth"); and the decentralized network itself, an encrypted, peer-to-peer protocol running on top of the User Datagram Protocol.

Intermittent Fasting, as described on the internet, doesn't involve eating less food but rather eating within a narrower time window. You can get 16-23 hours of fasting in a 24 hour day, and suggestions are that useful changes happen around 12 hours after eating, and (e.g. work of Prof. Sachin Panda) that fasts of this kind of length can do significant good for animal health.

Are you talking of this kind of thing, low body fat makes even this difficult, or are you talking of multi-day fasting?
"The only way to manage the solar was to scale back or switch off the coal- and gas-fired power stations that were supposed to be the bedrock of the electricity system."

Well that's your problem right there, combined with the previous "antiquated regulations that acted as a barrier to investment in storage capacity, such as community or grid-scale batteries." At least from the article it sounds like they recognize the solutions needed are smart storage and better over-production management. However, I don't see any talk in the article of a seemingly simple solution: add regulation that if you want to connect your panels to the grid (feeding excess generation into it) you have to also have a sizable battery connected to the grid.

Due to a parity issue (50 here is even) we need to adjust username90's solution. In particular, a sequence of consecutive integers of even length has a half-integer in its middle.

In this case, let's consider the sequence of 50 consecutive integers 16, 17, ..., 40, 41, ..., 65 where 40.5 is in the middle and the sum is 40.5 * 50 = 2025. Subtracting 2009 we get a supposed erased value of 2025 - 2009 = 16 and this indeed correspond to a valid solution:

16, 17, ..., 65 => 17, ..., 65

We also could've considered the sequence 17, ..., 41, 42, ..., 65, 66 centered at 41.5 and this would've led to an erased value of 41.5 * 50 - 2009 = 66 which is another solution:

17, ..., 65, 66 => 17, ..., 65

It applies broadly to people building APIs, but your title reads as though Linus is giving general coding advice, saying not to be fussy about code quality but focus on correctness. At least one comment here is replying to that notion.
It seems to me that a basic requirement for not being an idiot is that you recognize hard problems as being hard, and I see a lot of supposedly smart people declaring hard problems are easy because they're just ignoring tradeoffs or aspects of an approach that undermine it.

I'd think "everybody" knows, certainly I would expect Linus to know, about Postel's law and the subtle ways it ends up causing problems. Whenever you make things easy or difficult, you shape the evolution of how people do those things. There's no simple universal answer to "do we make things easy or difficult". Or "do we blame the user or the toolmaker?"

I don't really understand the psychology of going around arguing one side of an insoluble problem, observing that others are totally convinced of the other side, and occasionally flipping sides, but never acknowledging the meta-problem of integrating both or deciding when to apply each.
Perpetual motion is impossible, though.
Not eating less, eating BETTER. It's a lifestyle change that requires a lot of exercise and eating right. As somebody who lost 114kg in 2 years due to gastric sleeve, it's a complete lifestyle change (proper diet, exercise) that leads to better health.

I lost a lot of pounds one summer when I used to live in a school that served vegetarian food only for religious reasons. The reason I lost almost 30 to 40 pounds is I cooked my own food which was vegetarian, but probably didn't use the high sugar the cafeteria used to compensate for the lack of meat. A lot of it is simple energy in and energy out. People honestly really underestimate their energy in and overestimate their energy out.

Installing operating systems back then was much more involved than swapping floppies. The amount of involvement in an OS/2 installation could easily make it an order of magnitude worse. That being said, the results were usually worth it. OS/2 was far less likely to be affected by misbehaving applications, which was a serious problem with Windows 3.x (and, to a lesser degree, Windows 9x).

My stubborn refusal to use Windows during my student days was beneficial in a few cases. While my classmates were getting uninformative general protection faults, I was receiving much more insightful error messages.
