Is Paleo "wrong"? Yes.
Is it still better than the diet (the word "diet" as in "everything that you eat" not "weight loss food") than most Americans eat? Probably. But then it may be worse in terms of convenience or cost.

I owe it to Paleo, in part, to have resolved some long-standing medical issues that were attributed (at the end of a very long process) to a bad gut flora population. (I had the help of a wicked-smart new doctor who supported my own self-directed lab tests and self-experimentation where conventional medicine had already failed). This was all very much off the beaten path, and while they could look at my gut flora by ordering a stool stool analysis, he said they had very little measure to look at most samples and proclaim one as superior to another based on population). He could say some of these high-level metrics "changed". I really wish I hadn't missed HN's recent discussion on a gut microbiome article.

Paleo got me 90% of the way back to normal health. Yet when it failed, I was left without any explation why. Based on that, I looked for similar diets. I found and experimented with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. The dietary choices turned out to be very close to Paleo, but the rationale was entirely different. And for me, the minor differences were everything.

With strict compliance, it got me over the fence on a consistent basis, but it demanded nothing less than 100% compliance to see those benefits. Setbacks were brutal at first, but eased over time. After half a year, I altered by microbiomd enough to handle a regular diet for days at a time. Yes, your mileage may and will vary.

So even if the basis for the Paleo diet is factually incorrect, I think it resulted in a better answer for some (and certainly not all). It didn't cure my ills, but it gace me a starting point to hypothesize if my food intake was making things better or worse.

My biggest takeaway way that biological experiments can be slow. It took over a month before I saw a gut biome change that allowed for minor cheating on the diet without apparent penalty.
I write F# and Scala (among other various languages). Unfortunately I have to own Rider and Intellij to do all of those things in the JetBrains ecosystem :\
What is the driver / chip to send the data over USB?
Not an apple fan. Not a Google fan. All the movies I've bought have had various times to them. So I am that guy, who buys old DVD's and rip them to my local nas. I mostly buy local language kids movies as I especially don't want my children's viewing habits to be tracked and manipulated by Netflix.
IntelliJ is a big part of it, tho. JVM languages, plus all supported languages that they don’t have a variant for (it has a decent first party Rust plugin, for instance).
How/did you market it initially to be ranked?
teensy or similar.

he's using a https://candykeys.com/product/elite-c for this one.
Hardware Address Sanitizer is intended to protect against memory corruption in general, while pointer authentication helps ensure code flow integrity. (And I think it's mutually incompatible with the implementation that iOS uses because they both use TBI).
> VS's poor (and unreliable) performance is the main thing that made me try Rider, and what performance revelation it was!

VS 2019 is actually as fast or faster than Rider for me. But that is without Resharper, and without it, I miss way too much functionality.
Thanks for sharing the link. This is an awesome DIY.
On the one hand yes there's tons to explore, so many promising futures.

But I would like to keep an open mind about works like this one. This is work that could beget all kinds of neat things! Systemd targets Linux, where as this is a bit higher level & might be portable to other environments. It allows other people to not have to create their own process management systems, not have to create their own init system. The recreation brings the availability of the giant's shoulder to many many more places, distributes it's promise to really new & interesting targets.

The environment doesn’t care what anyone is “entitled” to and the West knows this and is a case study about how hard it is to reduce. I find it bizarre that anyone suggests it’s sensible for China to get there and only then start to reduce, because they are “entitled to”.

Of course, the West is already on that downward trend and China is soaring upwards with no signs of even plateauing. Within 10 years China will be technologically independent of the West and the West will have even less influence over its environmental policy than we do now.
I deeply and truly hope that is a Monty Python reference.

It's spelled "Raymond Luxury Yacht", but it's pronounced "Throat-wobbler Man-grove!"

If many people have added the encoders in the same way to the same keyboard (e.g. because there's an optional space on the PCB for it), then it's probably just a configuration option on the keyboard firmware.

If you've made a completely custom keyboard, or hacked an existing PCB to add the encoder, then there is a little more configuration.

Either way, there's then a few lines of code to define the action when turning the encoder knob.

The keyboard is configured to either send keys (e.g. PageUp/PageDown, Up/Down, VolumeUp/VolumeDown, AltTab/AltShiftTab) or to send mouse wheel events. You can have it send something different if you're holding "Fn" or whatever, or anything else you can think of.

There's no software needed on the computer.

Every time this topic comes up, I'm always confused how the algorithms are biased. Which algorithms? Isn't it actually the labeled data they used to train that is biased by not including enough samples of non-white faces? What mechanisms are in place that prevent literally everyone from just re-training on better data? Why does my toy facial recognition software written in javascript detect every face I throw at it?

Many of these pieces smell phony. I'm certainly not saying there isn't institutional racism at work here, but I think we need way more detail to evaluate these claims.
They’ve gotten a lot better recently. If you haven’t tried in a while may be time to revisit. Particularly if you’re on MacOS, where they used to have serious issues.
Kinda, but what I'm talking about is more along the lines of pushing through months of hard work to deliver a project on a hard deadline.
> If splitting up will solve that is questionable to me, though

It obviously won't; splitting search from ads as businesses wouldn't change that people aren't willing to pay for search and the way that free search, like most other free online services, is funded is ads. It just means that the vendor you pay for ads won't be the search engine provider directly but the ad network the search engine provider relies on, just as is the case for many other online services.
Been saying this for the past 5 years seems only when a tech celeb says it it gains momentum in news
There's pycharm community edition.
As someone who played a lot of SCUMM adventure games "back in the day", I want to applaud you!
Am I the only one who doesn't quite fancy mechanical keys?

For me, Mechanical keyboards cause fatigue as the key travel, regardless of which flavor of the key type, is too much. I prefer using Apple's new magic keyboar with numpad. It has a 1mm or so travel and feels fantastic.
The vim emulation for the IntelliJ tools worked very well for me. Used to use only vim with a complex setup. Have been using Goland, and IntelliJ for about a year now.
Thanks! That's neat.
No more than the OP’s one line suggestion.
I agree and I disagree.

The ROI on improving widely used tools is quite large
Yes indeed.
You probably wanted to say:
The ROI on reinventing widely used tools is quite large"
There are some extremely used binaries that have a stagnant development and have not adapted to modern ergonomics.
I beautiful example of that subset of widely used tools is cat.
Cat is extremely used and yet, the rust rewrite bat is far superior, because among other things, it has color and code higlithing :0

For a rust rewrite to be successful you need the following conditions:
You have ideas of improvments not present in the current tool.
Your ideas are not on their roadmap.
The current tool has not had too much of man/hours, which you can interpret heuristically as: the current tool has less than a few thousands of commits.

Here we're talking about systemd which has 42,600 commits.
By the time rustysd will have as much features as current* systemd, the original developer will be dead.

As an end user I have almost zero benefits in this kind of rewrites, as I'm aware it's a far poorer software by design.

If it was 1) a new kind of software or 2) a reimplementation of a tool that they can realistically manage to outcompete or 3) the development that will in the very longterm replace an old complex tool that has stopped development, then I would have been interested.

Anyway if it's for fun/learning purpose, they do what they want, but utilitaristically there would be better choices.
Ubering Through the Anthropocene
I always found Jetbrains + vim plugin to be unparalleled. A good friend swears by spacemacs but that’s a different ballgame.
This has already started happening with things like AMP for Gmail.
>Lead in solder is not a safety hazard unless you eat it

mm. most of the leaded solder I've used has a bunch of warnings on it about washing your hands after using it before eating or smoking (most of my leaded solder usage was during a time when smoking was more common in the US)

Lead is a pretty soft metal; there are ways it can get into your system besides vaporization. And it's toxic in an extremely scary way; neurological damage is scarier than lung cancer, if you ask me.

Personally, if there were kids in the house I absolutely wouldn't ever use leaded solder. I mean, sure, if it's only you and you are careful and your stuff is in a case or otherwise not handled, maybe it's fine, but it's a very soft, reactive, toxic metal that can cause neurological damage, especially to children. There are a lot of reasons to avoid it.
I've developed a daily practice over the past 8 months and the two most important pieces of anecdotal evidence that I have noticed that keep me coming back are:

1) I am happier. No doubt about it. Situations where my memory recalls that my self was typically unhappy in have been turned around. I find myself content when I am "supposed to be" frustrated at various things like traffic, intense situations, etc.

2) Older people at the studio look younger than me. Not everybody of course. But a significant number of the elderly people who have a daily practice look as young and spry as any one of the youngest children who come into the studio. (They host kids yoga classes occasionally).

I am laying here in half lotus right now actually, counting down the last few minutes at home here until I leave for today's class.

I can hardly wait!
I disagree, although when they first switched to this model (a good while back now), I had the same reaction as you.

On reflection, I think it's a fair model, and fair pricing. They even reduce the renewal price if you renew after the 1st and 2nd years (maybe even more, I don't recall exactly).

Fact is that I love JetBrains products, so I want them to stick around - I want to pay using a subscription model, because that will make it a whole lot more likely.
Sorry, it was something I watched probably over 30 years ago. It was only noteworthy because I couldn't imagine another show that would have continued rather than waiting for the strike to conclude. I believe it was multiple episodes as part of the same story line, probably starring Tom Baker, but I can't even be sure of that.
Carbon trading is a huge subside to the current polluters at the expensive of future polluters, indifferent to future polluters polluting more or less than current ones.

It is a great way to destroy a market (and a very important one), creating monopolies everywhere.
I am more familiar with resonance in an electrical domain more so than a mechanical one.

How do they determine at what frequency to actuate the piezos in order to match the resonant frequency of these plastic particles? Is it just 'guestimated' or is there a more systematic way?
Not saying yours does but my wife makes things way harder than they need to be at times. Like dinner. She lets my 2 yr old climb on her and eat her plate instead of his. So her dinner is often ruined. She gives in to his whining for snacks he doesn't need. Other things take way longer for her than me because she doesn't establish ground rules. He's an angel when I change his diaper and when I put him down for bed. He fights her getting into his car seat. Even at 2, they're smart enough to exploit. I don't think many parents understand that.

If you don't take time for yourself, let the kids own you, then yes it's really hard.

I put my 2 yr old in daycare twice a week and that really helped my wife's sanity and also helped him learn a lot. I encourage her to nap when the kid is and she rarely does.

I don't think you'll ever win that argument but whatever u can do to enable her to have more time for herself, get more sleep, etc, that will be good for you, your wife and probably the kid(s) too!

My theory is that the best thing you can do in raising a kid is having a great marriage. So I don't like this putting the kids first stuff. It's a bad perspective. You end up arguing over who's doing that more and you won't get the credit you deserve for working. If your perspective is focused on the marriage then I think the rest falls in place. What are your needs? What are your wife's? The kids will be great when you two are great. And they'll learn how to have a healthy relationship w a significant other!

Why not just go to /r/mechanicalkeyboards? There's a big community there already, and if they don't already have a Slack or IRC channel you could create it with them.
Technology advances by the continued reinvention of the wheel. As much as I dislike Rust the language, these activities of the Rust community are spot on.
Does anyone have recommendations for good resources to learn about video editing? Perhaps something specifically geared towards YouTube. I have some videos I want to publish and would like them to seem at least somewhat well-produced.
I’ve found it to be generally pretty good for latency recently, though it did have serious issues on MacOS at least a few years back. Certainly far better than VS Code.

One thing you may find useful if you have the memory is raising the max heap size a bit. The default is inadequate for very large projects IME.
> That would assume that there are two equally valid opposing views here, and yet there is nothing here to back that up.

So why does the opening of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ say "Twin studies of adult individuals have found a heritability of IQ between 57% and 73% with the most recent studies showing heritability for IQ as high as 80% and 86%."?

Is the mountain of research on the heritability of psychological traits so obviously 'nothing', you don't even have to bother giving a source for your claim?
Android Studio is a special build of IDEA focusing on Android. It’s like PyCharm. You get IDEA with some features removed and certain plugins pre-installed and defaults set. Personally I like using their specific IDE’s for their tasks, but I could imagine that you can easily replace Android Studio with IDEA and not have any difference (besides more features being available).
I wonder if this will impact Debian's current debate [1] on init systems. A minimal systemd-compatible init system seems like a real contender here, and this project shows that there're both interest and capability for developing one.

> if it still comes out cheaper it’s for a reason e.g. no security, no housekeeping, no amenities, no one to help you.

Why is this a bad thing? It's just unbundling security and housekeeping and lowering the price correspondingly. If you want the full-service option hotels still exist
Let me derail a little: Which one is better to have a coroutine like experience?
It is not genius. It creates a new financial instrument for the mega banks to extract yet another rent from.

A tax at CO2 origination is simpler, less opportunity to game, and more effective.
We are talking about WebView apps, i. e. Cordova-based with SQLite plugin.
This may not be exactly what you want to hear, but there are probably around five companies globally with the scale to be able to launch a mapping service of the requisite quality - and that's before they've made a cent from it. If your goal is not adding to perceived monopoly power, I don't think you'll like any of the five options.

It has taken Apple billions of dollars and over five years to get anywhere close, Nokia built an actually pretty reasonable Mapping solution and had to more or less give up the ghost due to the expense.

Validating that the routes on the map actually exists and continue to exist more or less requires access to mobility data from every street, walkway, nook and cranny on the planet.

Any mapping solution able to achieve the requisite scale will run into exactly the same issues with data centralization. Who exactly do you see entering the market?
If I join the party will I get to drive on the traffic free roads instead of being stuck on public transportation with the peasants?

Same here for Adobe Creative Suite; still on version 6 (perpetual license), which I run in a Virtual Machine due to support end-of-life.
>terms also have an agenda

Even if it is an agenda, it still represents a wealth of evidence of an entire other side to the question of human behavior.

This kind of immediate dismissal, slandering by accusations of "eugenics" or other euphamisms for racism, is exactly how the status quo is maintained without any overt conspiracy or cabal as referenced by other commenters.

This isn't a question of scientifically justified racial supremacy. Some of us are actually interested in truth, which cannot be obtained if one perspective is irrationally forbidden as taboo. Opening up the discourse doesn't automatically push us into some twisted genetic caste dystopia - the nature of population distributions is such that individuals can still be judged by their own merits and we all still deserve the same rights as human beings.
This is why I support Andrew Yang for president.
> That we're even talking about restricting tech that tells us real things about the world indicates that society's internal contradictions on certain subjects have reached a breaking point and that we need to reevaluate certain previously-inviolable assumptions.

I agree with your general point, but TFA quotes a co-founder of "leading research centre" saying,

> "At the same time as these technologies are being rolled out, large numbers of studies are showing that there is... no substantial evidence that people have this consistent relationship between the emotion that you are feeling and the way that your face looks."

So a large part of the problem is that we're rolling out cargo-cult crap without adequate self-reflection. (That's a different problem than our tech forcing us to confront real things we would rather leave latent.)
If you're interested in joining one, there are Discord communities with thousands of active users discussing those very things. One of the more generic ones being MechKeys [1], but once you find some designers you like or more niche communities there are dedicated servers most likely for those as well.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I too noticed it but thought it was too disable the amp version (which imo is always better)
I thought that was fixed? I used to have it with a 2x 4K display, and it was BAD, but it went away a couple of years ago.
Are you asking specifically about libtorrent, or about BitTorrent in general?

I think BitTorrent is really good for content distribution, as it's spreads the burden of traffic across many peers. In a typical server-client situation, the greater the number of clients, the bigger the burden on the server. But with BitTorrent, the load is spread between all clients, reducing the load for any one "server".
Well, it's been called "randomart" for a while.
With the mentioned fix you wont need it. The problem with Popcorn Time became that which Popcorn Time? The original kinda disappeared and sletchy forks popped up.
VScode calls itself a Code Editor, not text editor
Interesting. I'd like to build my own keyboard, but my crafting skills are not good enough for it. It's a pity how few tenkeyless mechanical keyboards with a ctrl<->capslock dip switch there are, and most of them don't allow you to install matching custom key caps. I'm currently using a Pok3r, which is okay, but I really wish there were more custom keyboard options on the market.
US Expelled Chinese Officials Suspected of Spying After Breach of Military Base
To add more context, Skip wouldn't have been chosen even if its application were formatted perfectly, you can see the scores here: https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/reports-and-docume...

And the completed rubrics of each of the applications here: https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/reports-and-docume...

With other related documents here: https://www.sfmta.com/reports/2019-scooter-application-evalu...

While the rubric grading might have seemed overly strict and bureaucratic, keep in mind that at the end of the day it's intended to stand up in court because the SFMTA could get sued given how high the stakes are and would have to demonstrate that it was a fair and transparent process.

As well, the priorities are very different now compared to 2018. The initial pilot accepted open-ended proposals and had the goal of determining whether scooters were in the public interest at all - Scoot and Skip won because their applications addressed concerns that none of the other applicants did (https://www.sfmta.com/projects/powered-scooter-share-permit-...).

This process was essentially an RFP where the SFMTA was clear on what they wanted, meaning that the firms with more operating experience, better equipment, and a stronger financial position had an advantage.
Teaching critical thinking skills is the only way to combat fake news we don't want to do this in the US because the powers that be get their power from dumbing people down so they can use their own fake news tools to control them these tools go back to analog eras like TV and radio.
There is also Geekhack (geekhack.org) and Keebtalk (www.keebtalk.com).

I remember when I was able to make the switch from Eclipse to the first beta of Android Studio.

This was night and day as well !

Sadly, I feel that the experience has degraded a LOT since then.

IntelliJ did not technically get worse, the typical Android build just grew in complexity way faster than IntelliJ optimizations could follow.

Same thing with Gradle actually. It has been getting significantly faster. But if during the 6 months you spent in order to speed up gradle by 30 % the typical build complexity has increased by 50%; sadly it means that you are losing.
