I recently switched from macbooks to the awfully named ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 (the big sister of the X1 Carbon) running linux and I've found it's hardware superior for me in almost all ways: much better thermal management even with running an Nvidia gpu flat out; a keyboard that manages to feel firmly clicky without distinctly clicking that probably won't die in six months (no, I don't trust Apple the sixth or seventh time they lie); the ability to disable microphone, cam, or both in the BIOS; the trackpoint and three physical mouse buttons; a more convenient screen size; a more standard range of ports - 2xUSB-A, 2xUSB-C/Thunderbolt, SD, HDMI, mic/headphones, and RJ45 (with adapter); even the small raised bar instead of a pair of feet under contributing to a better grip.

I've owned Mac laptops since that meant PowerPC or a more exotic processor, used Mac OS since the week Macs were released. I've also been a heavy ThinkPad user since 2000. These days if you're a unix person Macs simply don't earn their price premium and they require a lot more fiddling than my openSUSE & Cinnamon ThinkPad. I'm running the bleeding edge Tumbleweed rolling release and I'm still having fewer random problems than the last couple of OS X releases gave me.

One thing that might be a good thing to focus on over all would be nutrient density and secondly bioavailability and its relation to your genetics ie. how well your body can convert/make use of said nutrients. I'm a fan of Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Joel Fuhrman and his book Eat to Live. Deep Nutrition is another good book that covers the things modern diets often miss out on. Cronometer is a good place to check nutrient density of foods. If you've done 23andMe or other genetic testing you may want to run your data through Promethease or just check individual SNPs relevant to vegetarians like DHA/EPA conversion.

An answer will already decay naturally if it goes out of date as people will downvote it for being wrong. There are plenty of relevent 10yr old questions and answers. Decaying old answers will just make good info harder to find.

Intuitively for me probability theory is a bit clunky before measure theory. Like we have a different equation for expectations if something is continuous vs a discrete distribution. We use probability density functions (pdf) vs a probability mass function (pmf) and etc.

We know this stuff is basically getting at the same underlying quantities. Now imagine a distribution over both continuous and discrete. For example something that measures temperature but breaks after a certain threshold. What does the expectation be for such an instrument? Imagine a distribution on different sized arrays of real numbers. How do you define a valid density function? Measure theory gives you the formalisms for those kinds of problems. You in practice don't need it very often but it keeps you on firm ground when you do.

You might be interested in the opposite perspective, too. Some authors believe conversation (and indeed nearly everything we do) is an art of posturing. We converse because we want to show how eligible mates we are. We want others to know how intelligent we are, or how brave we are, or how resourceful we are. I highly recommend reading "The Elephant in the Brain" for more about that. It starts a bit slowly but then picks up!

IDEA Ultimate can definitely be heavy on memory. It's currently using 3.5GB with one project/10 file tabs open. It's literally part of the reason I use a machine with 64GB of RAM (IDEA with a couple of projects open, plus 5-10 VMs = a metric fuck ton of memory used).

But how much of that is specifically because of the JVM and how much is just because of what it is, cannot be compared fairly IMO, because as I said in another sub-thread, theres literally nothing that has the same level of functionality across so many languages and platforms.

I fully agree that there are varying degrees of corruption in every government and organization, but using CPI to support this is kinda pointless because it measures perception of corruption, not actual corruption (much harder to measure). It stands to reason that even if there’s absolutely no corruption in a government, people who’re unhappy with living standards, resource allocations, etc. will still perceive corruption (and on the contrary, satisfied people may not perceive corruption where it exists).

> Most notably, Borland JBuilder, which was an excellent product.

I switched from JBuilder to IntelliJ in 2002 I think.

JBuilder was good but on oh so expensive, if you wanted the full-featured version! IIRC it was 5 or 10 times the price of IntelliJ.

What blew me away when I tried IntelliJ for the first time, in comparison to JBuilder, was the refactoring tools. For the first time I felt I could safely rename classes and methods and move classes without manually searching my codebase.
Never used Uber Eats. It seems that Swiggy and Zomato have been largely successful in retaining their users.
I'm curious about the counterfactual here. If they had a VC on their board, they may have been "gently guided" towards a pure subscription model since SaaS valuations are much higher.

But, it sounds like a pure switch to SaaS would have alienated customers and perhaps would have forced more users to seek alternatives, and we might not have seen the business as this scale today.

Wonder if this was the optimal move at the time.
I'm pretty sure it is not stable and not designed for such a use case.
Enjoy it while it lasts, folks. Google policies forbid running of binaries that did not come from the original app APK or a Google Play download, and these are enforced with SELinux policies.

I think there needs to be an acceptable palliative care option rather than attempting to extend the life of someone in their 80s. That's not really euthanasia.

Jevon's Paradox [1]

An example from [1]:

```

Jevons observed that England's consumption of coal soared after James Watt introduced the Watt steam engine, which greatly improved the efficiency of the coal-fired steam engine from Thomas Newcomen's earlier design. Watt's innovations made coal a more cost-effective power source, leading to the increased use of the steam engine in a wide range of industries. This in turn increased total coal consumption, even as the amount of coal required for any particular application fell. Jevons argued that improvements in fuel efficiency tend to increase (rather than decrease) fuel use ...

You kind of described the exact problem there. You have "plenty of projects with >50 modules". I don't have "plenty of workspaces", just one that contains all my "plenty of projects", almost all of which then depend in some way on a tree of hierarchies also within that workspace.

There are no islands. There's now switching between anything. It's just all my code and dependencies, always open and accessible and instantly available.

Creating a new project in Eclipse then requires no importing of modules on my part, I just create a new project, it's in my workspace and voila—it's now an integral part of my universe of code.

I'm going to wager the answer is, no. By and large, the main advantage of GPS is it is now extremely compact and relatively low power. My gut feel: To do the same with the sun and stars, you need very finely calibrated optical instruments, probably on a motion compensated surface to get maybe 1/10th of the precision. Also a precise timesource would need to be thermally compensated etc. That's not portable or low power and I don't really see how portable that can be made. The inertia + gyros thing is already used by GPS systems as a backup when traveling in tunnels.
> especially vegetarian

Given that you have already made that choice, I'd recommend "How Not to Die" by Dr. Michael Greger. One of my biggest criticisms of Greger is that he is ignores any study that shows benefits of eating animals, even for specific conditions. People who would like to continue eating animals would find it easy to dismiss Greger for being so one-sided in what kinds of studies he cites. However, if you've already made the choice to prefer vegetarian, Greger's book (and videos) are an easy recommendation.
Is Jevons paradox really a problem when your carbon footprint is zero?

> VentureBeat: One of the things that’s come up a lot lately, you know, in the question of climate change — I was talking with Intel AI general manager Naveen Rao recently and he mentioned this idea [that] compute-per-watt should become a standard benchmark, for example, and some of the organizers here are talking about the notion of people being required to share the carbon footprint of the model that they trained for submissions here.

> Dean: Yeah, we’d be thrilled with that because all the stuff we trained in our Google Data Center — the carbon footprint is zero.
Competition is literally a click away. The truth is that Google is the best so people are willing to put up with the shitty ads on some searches.
> - How many games (?) in a row did you win

We won four in a row, then lost the fifth one in the final round due to two mistakes on our side and a bit of bad luck.

> and how much money was this?

When you reach the finals, you take part in what amounts to a lottery for which the number of tickets you get is determined by how well you play. If you win, you get €2500, if you lose, you get the amount of money you earned in the first round, which is comparatively negligible. We consistently got a reasonably high score in the finals, and with that won the lottery once, which I'd guess is about or slightly lower than the expected success rate.

Do note that the amount was per-team and before taxes, so in the end it amounted to a little bit more than €1000 per person. A nice little bonus, but probably lower than my usual rate given the amount of work put in, so it really was mostly about the fun we had doing it. (And an additional unexpected bonus is that it gave my brother quite some exposure as a comedian.)

> How many episodes did you appear on?

Five: the four we won, and the one we lost.

> How does this compare to other top players?

There haven't been that many episodes yet, and to be fair, I don't really watch the show usually, but it's certainly better than average (since most people just lose the first game they're in), and probably slightly better than the mean winner - though of course, we're doing it with no natural talent and being loyal viewers of the show. There are certainly quite a few who do better than we did though.
The only way to know is to try one for yourself.

I've used many different keyboards over the past 35 years, and I honestly can't say that I prefer one style over the other (except for those ultrathin mbp keyboards they finally ditched - they just sucked). For me, the only thing I care about is how noisy it is.

And this brings us to the only part that really matters with keyboards: office courtesy. If your keyboard is noisy, that's not cool. We had someone in the office with one of those clickity-clack keyboards of old, until enough people complained and he switched to a normal keyboard.

If your keyboard is radically different, or you do something inane like removing the keycap symbols, nobody can collaborate with you on your machine. And now you're "that guy".

There comes a point where you start behaving like audiophiles who swear up and down that their gold-plated $800 ethernet cable to their stereo improves the quality of the sound. And that's fine, as long as you do it at home.

>But a core part of being polite, is not hurting others through your actions directly or indirectly. ( or at least trying)

The problem is wanting the notion of politeness to do too much work. Being polite, being nice, is just a moment to moment strategy for avoiding conflict. Unfortunately, niceness has become the most important virtue in American culture.

Being good is much more profound, and niceness is just one of the many tools you can use to achieve it. Sometimes being good entails being harsh. Sometimes it means doing things that will upset others.

How randomly skipping tests made them better (curl)
I think the main advantage of GUIs in general is a contextual, curated explorability that is often lacking in CLI tools. The GUI is stateful, allows the user to click on things and prod it, and hopefully shows the most frequently used features for that context. This allows even complete newbies to be productive almost immediately.

For something like git, the slightly more visual representation is a benefit to many, too.

I'm not here to knock CLIs, there are a set of tradeoffs to be made, and CLIs win in many cases (flexibility, scriptability, being able to copy snippets you frequently use, etc). The above does tend to hold true, however.
Also the core of their main product, IntelliJ IDEA, is open source. And it's actually pretty usable for Java and Scala development for example, which is my interest in it.
