To me the main issue with the calories in/out way of thinking is that while generally correct your body deals with different types of calories very differently. Obviously high quality protein and processed sugar cause very different hormonal responses in the body. The calories in/out way of thinking sort of brushes this under the rug.

The weight regain phenomenon you mention can be explained in part by the hormone ghrelin. I’m no nutritional scientist but from my understanding ghrelin is involved in meal initiation and is a driving factor in the weight regain after a period of weight loss. Conversely the hormone leptin acts to suppress food intake and would cause someone to lose weight after a brief period of weight gain. Together when functioning correctly these work to “stabilize” ones weight. Obese individuas are thought to be leptin resistant.

As you mention, hormonal effects are king and you want to take great care to not overly stress or break your body’s systems, for example, by becoming insulin or leptin resistant.
I'm not sure of the exact year, but sometime in the early 2000's I stopped paying for cable and went 100% online or purchased DVD's (netflix was just starting to stream).

Every once in a while I experience regular television at someone's house and it always blows me away that people are ok watching something and being interrupted constantly while doing it.

I've been told cable now has commercials, which cracks me up since the advantage of cable used to be not having commercials because you paid for it.
Despite how great Inkscape is, it's no where near Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer (and you can't run them on WINE either).
Even if you were to take that at face value, it's not as if Walmart retail workers are getting vacation time to visit their relatives in a foreign country more than once a year.
By TV they mean the device or open/cable TV?
Bring two of my projects to a certain revenue goals. Try to prepare for having a kid in a couple years. Help spouse and I get healthier. Finish the new rally car (1982 Scirocco).
It seems pretty disingenuous to show two totally different models in the same video like this, the model that gets airborne doesn't have a back prop/shaft nor is it carrying a cargo container.

No one expects a prototype to carry the full load, but it looks like it can't even get itself airborne at this stage...
There is the menu element, but I guess it was just meant to be semantic and didn't really catch on. I think JS killed the adding of more GUI elements to HTML. Developers prefer their libraries. It's weird how things progress in three steps forward, two backward kind of way. The web has certainly illustrated that in many ways.
Your free ride would still chase you to the crash site.
I was in the second grade when prop 13 passed, but I still remember a palpable change in the morale of teachers the day this passed. I think the split roll thing makes sense, but I made the mistake of getting involved in some facebook discussion about this -- some folks are so in love with prop 13, you would think it was the second amendment.
And absolutely no documentation on how it works. I've turned the multiple windows stuff off on the iPad because it's so damn inconsistent and incomprehensible.
The money quote:

---

...processor architects were trying to build not just fast processors, but fast processors that expose the same abstract machine as a PDP-11. This is essential because it allows C programmers to continue in the belief that their language is close to the underlying hardware.

---

All else follows: hardware parallelism and memory hierarchy are not exposed to standard C. The compiler rewrites the code ruthlessly to replace loops with sequential instructions, vector instructions, etc (or not, then you wonder why and how to trigger the optimization).

C compilers do a number of things to continue supporting abstractions from 50 years ago. The article suggests that maybe other approaches, not compatible with C, could be considered for CPUs (not just GPUs).
>general misinformation is, unfortunately, just a byproduct of the existence of the internet. Not much room for inoculation outside of education.

The scale of it is greatly enhanced by the internet, but such problems have existed since language itself was invented
I'd highly suggest focussing time to build a routine to keep yourself active while you are still young. Either get used to working out / going to the gym, or even better find a hobby that keeps you active.

I'm in my early 30s and pretty much avoided any sort of fitness when I was younger. I cycled to get from A to B and walked a fair bit but that was it. Now my body is starting to complain from a decade of sitting at a desk.

As well as avoiding pain, I find exercise helps to reduce stress, which means you can work more effectively, so I wouldn't even consider it lost time (vs working).
The Windows 95 UI was inspired by NextStep. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP#/media/File:NeXTSTEP_...

Before Windows 95 was released there was CTL3D.DLL which gave a NextStep-like look & feel to Windows 3.1. See this image for the improvement made by CTL3D.DLL: http://www.win3x.org/screens/15nvtbm.gif
You're raising valid points generally but read 89.110 for Standard Remote Identification. If internet is not available the drone must broadcast the information elements directly. This does preclude 'limited remote identification' UAS from operating without any local internet and of course no remote identification UASes will be stuck in the FAA sandboxes.

Definitely some rough edges in this that will hopefully get eviscerated in public comments.

>The most valuable asset one has are the social ties - far easier to live in a boring German village where you know most people

the problem is though that this is an idealized version of traditional small towns. My parents are still doing fine, but my grandparents were very isolated at the end of their lives because most peers have died off, are too old or sick to go anywhere, and most young people have left too so it's a very, very insular and lonely environment.

From the stories I read about the state of health, drug abuse and so on in American small towns it appears to be even worse.

Boring life is not necessarily a good thing for older folks. The practical problems of being far away from healthcare and so on aside, I believe being in a young and dynamic environment is a good thing for you if you're old, it keeps people stimulated.

People love painting the image of 'loneliness in the city' vs 'community in the village' but in reality, at least in my experience it's the other way around.

I didn’t have specific examples in mind, and my argument is not about what type of government is ideal or even whether it’s possible to do better. My claim was simply that democratic governments are not accountable to individuals in any ordinary meaningful sense, and I stand by that.

Of course many governmental officials would likely be held accountable for extreme misconduct if they weren’t able to cover up the evidence. And of course certain governments are more accountable than others.
IMHO it's closer to one step forward, two steps backward. There are plenty of other articles on HN about how annoying and unusable the "modern Web" has become.
Prop 13 is rent control by another name. I would love to hear economists speak as damningly about Prop 13 as they regularly do about rent control.
Whats your definition of not accountable? Making an absolute and not relative definition sounds hard.
I moved to Japan 12 years ago and while I love it and it's the only home I know, I agree with you. Retiring, picking up and moving to a new country with a new culture would involve pretty serious culture shock. Betting the farm, so to speak, on wanting to live there for the rest of your life is kind of crazy I think. I've also had some health issues while I've lived here in Japan and even though I speak Japanese quite well and the Japanese health system is quite good, it's incredibly frustrating having to deal with something so important in a way that is foreign to you.

In kind of a less extreme situation, I've known several couples who retired in the UK and moved lock stock and barrel to Spain. Even there, I've heard horror stories of getting soul crush homesickness, not being able to sell the house, and eventually returning to the UK and living a very much reduced lifestyle thanks to all the assets being tied up in Spain. It's a massive risk.
Oops, thank you! I tried to use Grammarly and HemingwayApp to check my writing at the moment!

The benefactors who currently own these homes are passing them down to relatives without passing down the new higher property tax. What's more is that homes that people who were 'lucky' to buy in the past, such as Palo Alto properties, benefited from white-only clauses: "No person not wholly of the white Caucasian race shall use or occupy such property unless such person or persons are employed as servants of the occupants." - https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2019/03/29/housings-trou...

Also, if you avoid sugar for a week before fasting that helps a lot, or rather, I should say that it helps me. Eating sugar messes up my ability to know if I am really hungry or if it is just too many Candida bacteria in my system messing with my brain chemistry.

Anyway, if you like, try avoiding sugar leading up to avoiding fasting.
I feel this way about everything.

GoT took a nose dive when they stopped having source material to work off of. It became stupid, mindless drama. People talk about the ending as if that's where the problems started. No, the writing was crap for the last several seasons.

The latest season of The Expanse was disappointing. It went from a slow burning, character driven series to an action packed run-of-the-mill drama laden mess, like most of the television shows you see nowadays. I'm happy Amazon picked it up, but they basically butchered the show, it will never live up to its potential.

Everything just kind of becomes samey because they're all learning how to do it from the same sources, and the lessons they're learning is unnecessary drama pulls people in and keeps them there. Except it drives me nuts when an entire season's worth of plot points could literally evaporate if character A articulated why they were angry at character B, who would then explain it was a misunderstanding.
I used to play with VB5 and VB6, the RAD process was better than any of today's separated backend/frontend antd CSS-layout scaffolding data binding frameworks bullshit.

The best part of the unified UI controls is you can use tools like Spy++ to discover programs on the fly. Today's Internet there are thousands of web frameworks and you need thousands of source mapping or else it's an ocean of minified gibberish.

Are you really going to be sad if Facebook can't survive CCPA?

My point is that there's no chance it will happen. Any fallout will be just a new burden to users.
In Vietnam, the women are not submissive at all and I have a bit of a theory on it after living and dating here for 4 years.

All the men were killed in the war. The women ran the houses and the businesses. Now, 2-3 generations later, kids have grown up watching mom and sister be the strong ones.

Trust me, the last thing you want to do is piss off a Vietnamese woman.
That's actually a nice spiff. Doesn't entirely fix the problem, but could help with surfers looking for something interesting.

> As someone who doesn't smoke, barely drinks alcohol, doesn't take illegal drugs, and (I hope) is in a lifelong-monogamous relationship, I hate having to cover healthcare costs specific to those problems.

Then you'll be happy to know the morbid truth: smokers and alcoholics have lower healthcare costs over their lifetimes because they tend to die earlier. If everyone smoke and drank to excess, your insurance costs would be lower.

However, this truth ignores another morbid truth: some people you love, maybe one of your kids, a relative or even perhaps even yourself, are statistically likely to smoke, drink or do drugs to excess.

> I guess there are two issues then. The politics of shared costs/benefits, and attending my personal struggles with only being empathetic to problems that I myself experience.

I mean, at least you recognize the irony. Empathy is learned, and perhaps you could learn to be empathetic towards others.
Why Ruby on Rails? Perhaps I'm hanging out in the wrong places, but the hotness seems to be with JS/Node or Python/Django/Flask.
Something about this constantly appearing trope bugs me.

I began programming C and assembler on the VAX and the original PC. At that time, C was a reasonable approximation of the assembly code level. We didn't get into expanding C to assembly that much but the translation was reasonably clear.

As far as I know, what's changed that mid-80s world and now is that a number of levels below ordinary assembler have been added. These naturally are somewhat confusing but they aim to emulate the C/assembler model that existed way back then. These levels involve memory protection, task switching, caches and all things involved with having the current zillion-element Intel CPU behave approximately like the 16-register CPU of yore but much-much faster.

I get the "there's more on heaven and earth than your flat memory model, Horatio" (apologies to Shakespeare).

BUT, I still don't see any of that making these "Your Ceeee ain't low-level no more sucker" headlines enlightening. A clearer way to say it would "now the plumbing is much more complicated and even c programmers have to think about it".

Because... adding levels below C and conventional assembler still leaves C exactly as many levels below "high level" language as it was before and if there's a "true low level language" for today I'd like to hear about it. And the same sorts of programmers use C as when it was a low level language and the declaration doesn't even give any context, doesn't even bother to say "anymore" and yeah, I'm sick of it.

Edit: plus this particular actual article is primarily a rant about processor design with C just pulled into the fight as a stand-in for how people normally program and modern processors treat that.
> I'd definitely count MinGW (or more modernly, MSYS2) as "native" in this context
Thank you, that's an excellent way to phrase what I was trying to say.
I think you can have rationality and a deep spiritual connection to nature.

There are some doctrines in Buddhism and the writings of Carl Sagan that make me feel that.
Repeal prop 13 so everyone pays a fair share, get rid of single unit detached homes in metros with high population density and build lots of high density housing condos and town houses, e.g. say a 3 bedroom that a family making at least 140k can afford on a 30 year. Get rid of stupid expensive HOAs. One can dream.

Rent control is using the power of the state to coerce individuals.

Limiting tax increases reduces the power of the state to coerce individuals.

The two have nothing in common.

To elaborate on the management, not engineering, failure: nice domestic marquee credentials for the most-visible leader, but... How much credence was his input given among other leaders? How high-quality were his lieutenants and the teams they led? This is the kind of issue that only gets flagged from the deep work of your team.
(Mostly) reposting from a comment on an article that very few people saw:

Reuters had an article at https://www.reuters.com/article/us-boeing-737max/new-boeing-....
This article contained a paragraph that was news to me:

> Boeing had earlier turned over the documents to the Justice Department, which has an active criminal investigation underway into matters related to the 737 MAX plane.

An active criminal investigation? Wow. Boeing's in a lot hotter water than I knew.
According to the article, tax receipts would double if property taxes reflected their current value.

So we could repeal 13 and cut property taxes in half and still have the same tax receipts we do now.

As far as keeping “grandma” in her home, if she is sitting on $2 million in equity, why should she get to pay lower taxes than someone who first buys a $2 million house with minimal equity? Neighbors paying vastly different tax rates for similar properties is unjust. Their consumption of public services isn’t different but grandma pays less than the young family just getting started. That’s ridiculous. Not to mention grandma is probably living in a 5 bedroom house alone with her five cats — which is an underutilization of scarce housing resources. Taxation should be absolutely equal.

I, for example, have kids in private schools, but I still have to pay property taxes to support the local public schools and get no deduction for that tuition despite me not consuming those resources. I’m ok with that because public schools are important, but when grandma next door pays a fraction of what I pay, it’s extremely unfair that I have to subsidize grandma. She isn’t my grandma.
Every time I see one of these array-processing languages, I'm always baffled at how small you can make the code, but then am further baffled and wonder how anyone is able to read/debug it.

To people here who know APL/J/K rather well, does it become second-nature and easy to find mistakes?
$iframe.contents().find('.result-row').each(function(){
data.push({

});
// And everything starts running when you set first iframe's target url
$iframe.prop("src", "https://newyork.craigslist.org/d/apts-housing-for-rent/search/apa");

Looks like he wants output something like

price:

I tried reproducing this example without using Javascript, instead using curl and sed. The output is

image:
title:
price

I did not try to move "title:" above "image:" though I bet this could be done using the hold space.
Nor did I format this as JSON though that would be easy to do.

n=0;while true;do test $n -le 3000||break;

It is? Is this at the quantum level? To be honest my understanding of quantum physics is cursory at best, though I had thought that the notion of a 'clockwork universe' had been otherwise discredited.
Well that depends. e.g. yarn has an auto clean feature and a feature to flatten the dependency tree. If you have a well groomed dependency tree, one might want to commit the node_modules folder:

1. Ultimately dependencies end up in your production environment, so folks might wanna review the diff of dependency updates.

2. No need to run yarn install. So if your build server has only access to your git repo, no need to get packages from a remote environment.

3. No need for yarn or npm on non-Frontend dev machines. It will just work with Node installed.

4. If npm or yarn ever cease to exist (or the registries), any commit should still work as intended.

Other than that, this C code has a lot of smell - for example, the repeated use of the ptr variable looks like what something someone unfamiliar with the C type system would use: https://github.com/trustcrypto/OnlyKey-Firmware/blob/c71d207...
Just the everyday definition that people use in normal conversation, not subtle insinuation about political philosophy or anything like that. I’m accountable to my employer for showing up and doing solid work. A student is accountable to their instructor. I’m accountable to the government for my income taxes (and many other laws). It just means that there is a fairly clear set of expectations and a pretty reliable and straightforward process that disincentivizes violation of those expectations in practice (not just in theory).
Wow - does this bring back some memories.

I remember when CTL3D.dll was all the rage.

If you read through the rest of the article, that's actually the end result! Ambiguous squares are guaranteed not to be mines iff guessing is the only possible move.

On the flip side, the game punishes you for guessing by guaranteeing ambiguous squares result in a mine iff there there are moves you could make without guessing.
Even if you don’t find yourself reading biomedical research on a frequent basis, you should expose yourself to PubMed just to see how much care went into its development.

Seriously, PubMed is one of my favorite websites for its simplicity, speed and incredible usability. It has a querying system for hundreds of thousands of articles that makes sense, it saves these queries and allows you to edit them. It allows you to save articles to lists and makes them portable.

While it may be easy to just think of this as just another clever website redesign, I can tell you from personal experience that these increases in usability have a non-zero impact on research productivity. And since it’s PubMed, there’s a lot of important research at stake.
