Very interesting to get ideas (as someone already used to counting macros). The default macro ratio seems a bit high in protein, personally I would recommend lowering a bit the carbs and upping the fat.

Also from my experience (lost 25kgs 15 years ago, fit) aiming to lower carbs in western diet usually has the side effect to forcing lower calories, not because you eat less carbs per se, but because a lot of food that can be abused and/or that are junk are carb based. I you aim for low carb and high fat/protein you automatically are looking at the better nutritional option if you eat out. And things like pasta or pizza are way too easy to refill for me, but with a plate of a protein and side vegetables I feel satiated after one serving.

I think keto is too extreme if you are not a nutrition geek, but just aiming at reducing carbs should get you a long way in losing weight and eating more healthy without overthinking it.
While I do get the "spirit" of this, I feel it's highly inaccurate and/or misrepresentative in some cases.

An example would be Javascript. Sure he implemented a prototype in 10 days, but the whole implementation was probably a fraction of the test code for V8, a modern implementation of the beast that is Javascript today. I'd even argue that the VM engines from 5 year ago would still hold the same property.
If you can bridge the gap between concepts and relevant experience you have had applying those it can be a great way to contextualize topics. When running though the materials it can help to think about the experiences you've had and where the materials intersect with your experiences.

For example I remember a few times where fuzzing revealed bugs that could have been exploited in a few situations. A few of them were not at all obvious and would have been hard to test for ahead of time. This is the sort of thing where I'll talk to students about the concepts and how they were directly applied on some projects. When I was less experienced it was not obvious to that fuzzing could reveal bugs on a highly tested and carefully reviewed project, which I think is why I'm such a fan of the technique now.

Making reference to experiences you have had is a great way to follow up from covering "how" to explain "why" you might want to and to give some context as to when you might want to apply concepts.

Bakers who put alum in their bread as a whitening agent were "performing a function" with that alum, but it's still considered adulteration. The addition of Vitamin E Acetate to THC oil seems to be unambiguous adulteration.
I think you have misinterpreted the parent comment. I'm pretty sure they're saying "if all these translations unanimously agreed that's what the original Hebrew said, then that really is what it said", but you seem to have interpreted it as "look at how many translations are wrong!".

Is that right, or did I misunderstand you? If that is what you're saying, do you have a reason to disagree with all of those translations? Can you offer your own for that passage?

I built a todo app that might interest you. It lets you nest todo items to any arbitrary level as I preferred it to the flatter trello structure especially when working with software projects that are very heirarchical in nature. It just stores data in local storage but you could easily mod it to import export json. Also has IDE inspired keyboard shortcuts for traversing the list. If you’re interested you can have the code it’s on my github.

Lot of very valid advice on achieving product market fit and ticking through the early stages of the business in the comments here. Your questions seems to be more focussed on ”assume I have pmf, would a profit sharing structure be a valid way to incentivise developers / early employees”.

What your suggesting does sound a bit like dividends. Give early employees shares directly and pay them pro-rata on the percentage of shares they own via dividends from the profit. Perfectly valid, possible tax implications and maybe not a long term solution if the company grows to more than a handful of people. Giving people shares directly also removes the long term incentive to hang around.

In truth getting to profit with enterprise software will likely take years. I’ve been running an enterprise software business for almost 3 years and we’re absolutely no where near profitability.

Tobacco isn't harmful because it contains nicotine. There's evidence that nicotine is good for you: it improves concentration [1] and reduces BMI [2]. Vaping gives people nicotine without the harmful substances in burning tobacco. Why should we bucket vaping with smoking? Hell, given the state of public health generally, maybe we should be encouraging people to vape.

This is a really weak comparison. Peer-reviews are used as a gating mechanism for papers unlike products on Amazon. Reviewers on Amazon don't have a say on what gets on the list and what gets off.

Additionally, published papers are often cited by other papers and peer-reviews are necessary
to prevent a false premise from being propagated through citations unlike products on Amazon.

Or we could push for the us to actually join the rest of the world with public healthcare for all. If this is done, then we can push for the cost of a doctor visit to be reduced to a normal price. There is no reason for having the extreme pricing in healthcare except that it’s treated as a business. If most European countries can manage a public healthcare system and not have a doctor visit cost 1k+ , then it can happen in the US. But a mayor shift need to happen and it won’t as long as people refuse to accept universal healthcare

So the author was a fucking idiot and disbelieved grandmother because of a 60 dollar DNA test.

Furthermore, she never read the fine print on how accurate those genetic tests are, and how they obtain their resulsts.

Furthermore, apparently, her grandmother being Italian was so important to her that she based a significant part of her life on it, which is really fucking creepy.

But now we're somehow supposed to feel sorry for her? I don't know why this article was written, nor why someone deigned it important to post here. The TLDR of the article is basically "I didn't read the fine print on a genetic datamining operation and called my gran a liar over it".

There are many languages that are as simple or even simpler than PHP in syntax, and if you're comparing it to JavaScript, nodejs is literally JavaScript.

PHP's biggest strength is ease of deployment and popularity. Deploying a nodejs app is a nightmare, because of the fact that nodejs isn't a web-first language in the traditional sense. It's a general purpose language that can do many things, but that causes problems for, i.e. hosting multiple apps on a single server (without having to coordinate ports between them, firewall them off, and have a single nginx instance proxying to them based on domain names).

PHP is simple to deploy. If you have a shared hosting, just upload files to the FTP server, and open the page in the browser. It works. If you have a root server, just `sudo apt install -y apache2 libapache2-mod-php7.3` and put the files in /var/www/html/

It's a perfect fit for web because that's the only place where it actually works. It does one thing (platform) and it does it well (from the deployment perspective).

It has (had) it's warts in the years, but I don't find many things that it doesn't have compared to other scripting languages.

If you are interested, media forensics is an entire field about this sort of thing.

The 1000 dollar human genome [1] is one of the most staggering examples of this.

"In dozens of presentations over the past few years, scientists have compared the slope of Moore's law with the swiftly dropping costs of DNA sequencing. For a while they kept pace, but since about 2007, it has not even been close."

To go from a cost of 2.7billion and one decade to where we are today (people are now talking seriously about the zero dollar genome, aka the price of sequencing can be trivially offset by selling some meta information to some company or other) can be seen as a feat of scientific infrastructure-making that blows any Alaskan highway out of the swamps.

To get the individual user information for a Twilio number, given the short duration they might be attached to a given account, I highly suspect you have to go through Twilio for that info. That is, Twilio is likely to be the sole source for information on which account is attached to what number at a point in time. Obviously any consequential government authority in the US can then get that from Twilio, assuming the required judicial merchandise is presented.

I'd be curious though to know if eg Twitter security sends a request over to Twilio (perhaps in a case of an account abuse investigation), if they'd cough up information very willingly. That I don't know. It's a certainty the government can get at it, however. The best bet is to do nothing illegal using a Twilio number, and to assume if a big external service provider (Twitter, Facebook, et al.) needs to get details for some legal reason, they will.
That's possibly true for a pencil.

It's demonstrably not true for large game-changing R&D projects which open up entirely new sectors for innovation.

As someone that had inherited a redux-thunks project, for me thunks are like calling fetch() directly inside your components callbacks, with extra steps. Really bad for testing and isolating code.

I haven't tried saga, just rxjs with redux which was definitely good. I've also worked with Elm, which supposedly inspired redux. Elm does it perfectly, I don't know why Redux missed async.

The real challenge here is that document and application tend to get mixed up on the web.

Looking at even a good old-fashioned blog, there are really three nested things on your screen: the blog post document, the blog post-viewing application, and the browser.

Why a blog post-viewing application? In theory you could skip it and just have a plain reader view, but in practice you do want to have navigation and comments, and that's what the application part is for.

Many modern systems surface that split in the form of an API: the API is what gives you access to the underlying document.

The challenge would be making that solid accessible to the user. For example, could a browser natively have two address bars? One for the document, and one for the application that is used to access the document?
Not only this, but the Laravel PHP framework (such as used by Monica) makes it particularly easy to build and maintain such apps.

PHP is web-first, built for the web, and it does it's job well for that purpose. In the years before this boom of SaaS web apps and platforms, the only thing you needed on the web, in almost all cases, was some sort of CMS.

PHP was traditionally used for CMS', because that's what was needed (and still is) on the web. It's not a glamorous job, but those CRM, ERP, and other data systems are what power the modern business world. And a large number is written in PHP.

Case in point: Serbia's largest government-owned telco "Telekom Srbija" used to use a CRM system written in ASP.NET with WPF client software. In January 2019. they started to migrate off of that solution onto a web based platform written in PHP. It's still kind-of in progress, but I think it will bring them more success.

SBB, Serbia's largest alternative telco, has been using that same PHP-based solution for years, and has a smooth customer acquisition process, because it can be done from anywhere due to the web UI.

Of course, you can have a Web UI with any other language, but PHP is web native and isn't any worse than other languages, but may provide some advantages.

Also, before nodejs was invented, the only truly accessible (as in - simple to develop in, with a tolerant dev environment) language was PHP, if you wanted to do web and web only. There was (and is) Python, Ruby, Java, etc., but they were never easy to use, manage and deploy. Most of the new tools we take for granted weren't available in, i.e. 2005., when the standard dev procedure was to upload files via FTP for a large amount of the world.

And lastly, nowdays, I don't think PHP is any worse than other scripting languages for web usage, especially for CRUD information system UIs. And if you need more than it offers, you will find luck only in .NET [Core] or Java, not in Node or Python.

Ironically, the company I work for is strictly a no-PHP shop, and does no PHP projects for clients, except half of the Intranet that spans many countries (Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia, USA, Netherlands, Germany, Phillipines, UAE, etc.) and management systems are written in PHP. It's just useful for the task, and there's no need to change it, or waste money on something that works. The company is old-ish (from 1998.) but hasn't outgrown the systems (yet). I said ironically because I really like PHP, but do .NET with Oracle at work.
The afsluitdijk allows for saline sea water right next to clean fresh water due to the rivers ending in the ijselmeer displacing the seawater form the inland sea. I wish the Dutch government would fund projects like redstack which try to generate energy from the saline difference on the afsluitdijk while they renew things. It seems so much easier to do both infrastructures at once (redstack and blue energy as a whole is still expirimental though).

They do that because they know human nature (well, post-popup windows from the '90s) is to move your mouse down to close the popup and then close the tab, as if it makes any difference. That buys them another 2-4 seconds of time-spent-on-page analytics metrics. It took me a bit to untrain myself from that behavior. I'd quite like a browser extension that stops reporting when my mouse moves out of the tab.
Journals get away with extortionate fees because tenure committees, interview panels etc take journal quality as a proxy for research quality when evaluating a candidate.

If they stopped doing that it would certainly reduce the incentive to submit research to the more expensive journals.
