>Replacing 5 g/day of margarine, butter, mayonnaise, or dairy fat with the equivalent amount of olive oil was associated with 5% to 7% lower risk of total CVD and CHD.

This doesn't seem to be testing animal fats. My guess is that how processed the fat is the important variable.
Oh God, choice! Options! They're so awful! Why don't Microsoft force one standard on everyone, so we can complain about a lack of options instead of complaining about having too many options?

Why are multiple options a bad thing? Seriously.
As far as I understand, Apple is using dedicated secure enclave chips in their iCloud keychain service; the attacks against SGX are usually (admittedly, not always) side channel attacks due to being able to use the CPU for arbitrary insecure execution and then use that to extract information from the container. It is also my understanding that Apple controlled the keys for their hardware, and could watch themselves destroy the key: as far as they know, they can't access the data themselves and nor can anyone else... Intel SGX is subject to upgrade keys from Intel and their remote attestation can be forced by Intel: if a government wants the data they should bring the computer to Intel and start a similar battle to the one the FBI had with Apple on their older phones (where Apple already had a back door but didn't want to be forced to use it by signing a firmware to access the phone).
If their boss comes to them with a mandate later, their intentions will be forced to change. Also, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

If you don't trust your ISP, you are savvy enough to use a). a different resolver or b). a VPN. In both cases, the decision is opt-in (which is what it should be).

Edit: or option c). apply pressure to your government representatives to update their privacy laws so ISP snooping doesn't happen in the first place. It's a sad state of affairs when the ISP market has failed so badly that you can't find an ISP you can trust.
No, they said SWJ, the journal dedicated to intrastate conflicts.[1] Not to be confused with the WSJ.

I track All non-cash transactions and any large cash transactions.

I did it from when I first started working full-time so I could get some idea of savings/spending &c.

It was "meh" usefulness, but pretty easy since I could auto-import the transactions and it takes me maybe 1hr per month to categorize everything.

Now that I'm married its incredibly useful. "Can we afford X?" "How much are we spending on Y?" "I feel like I've been overspending on Z, how bad is it?" are the sorts of questions that can be answered very quickly.

Neither my wife nor I are in "charge" of spending, but I keep the books (because I had been before getting married). These money discussions could very easily become divisive if we didn't have easy-to-access data.

Thank you sir. I am just learning Clojure right now , coming from JS and GO world.
"There is currently no presentation integration with WSL as WSL is a console only experience today. The D3D12 API can be used for offscreen rendering and compute, but there is no swapchain support to copy pixels directly to the screen (yet )."

This leads me to believe that display support is intended in the future. It's a work in progress. They've gone this far why would they stop at compute? Still, it's pretty awesome if you ask me.
I think I may have misspoken. What I meant to say was that, at least for me, KMM is a little easier to view both accounts and categories, and search within them.

A more accurate phrasing would have been "Filter all the payers that contain this string, and allow me to select them and see how much money was transferred to/from them."
Most libraries like Java time choose the earlier timezone (summer) by default, but allow an override. If the date picker parses text you can usually force it to one of the two times pass explicitly setting the offset.
One reason is that using "sum" versus "join" helps the reader understand which operation is being performed. You can tell whether the author was expecting a list of strings or a list of numbers. This hint about the author's intent also helps the compiler or runtime generate better error messages.

As a reader, you don't know what an abstract operation does, just that it should obey certain rules. Writing code abstractly when abstraction is unnecessary removes information, which has a cost in readability.

Now if you want to write abstract code then it will be frustrating, but some languages are optimized for writing concrete code.

At least, in this particular case. I'm not sure how consistent Python is about this.

“despite he himself finding those views to be inaccurate and repugnant”

If only that were true. Most people who look into this are dumbfounded at Chomsky’s support of Faurisson—not just his right to speak, but his insistence that we take this holocaust-denying nutjob’s “research” seriously.
I can't speak to Windows but at least on Linux that's entirely determined by your desktop environment and terminal emulator. For example, KDE offers near complete configurability of keyboard shortcuts including the ability to specify different sets of active shortcuts based on an application being open or in focus. Taking it even farther, you can use xmodmap (deprecated but simpler) or xkb (full functionality but more complicated) to completely redefine how physical keypresses are translated into software events.

You can do virtually anything on Linux if you're willing to invest the time.
Nobody is disputing the existence of the Islamic Golden Age. We are talking about the intermediate, bloody and chaotic period caused by the Muslim conquests that rapidly spread from the Arabian peninsula and overcame the Persian Empire and most of the Roman Empire. These empires didn’t go away for a “variety of reasons”, they went away because they were violently conquered by invading force in the name of religion.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Muslim_conquests

As for your claims about Alexandria:

> Following the Arab conquest of Egypt in AD 641, the city was plundered and lost its significance before re-emerging in the modern era

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria

Once can also hardly read accounts of the conquest of Alexandria and think “my, what an improvement.” A lot of people died. Parts of the city burned. You are also wrong that the schools were closed prior. That was certainly not the case. Alexandria was a major center of learning up until the conquest.

Carthage was sacked and deliberately destroyed to prevent it from being retaken.

Look, yes, there’s a group of people out there that understates they Islamic Golden Age. But that doesn’t take away from the reality that the early Muslim conquests were absolutely ruinous. People were still writing those “important classical texts” you mention when they were killed and their texts burned. I doubt they would have much appreciated that the conquerors much later translated what survived the flames.
I would say that often leads to poor UX

> 1998 [...] Not really that long ago

The Apple II came out in 1977, 43 years ago.

1998 therefore roughly marks the halfway point between the dawn of mainstream personal computers and the present day. I dare say 1998 was a very long time ago, in PC years.

My wife and I do something similar.

We have our "Expenses" account that salaries go into. We have our "Offset" account that has our emergency fund in it and offsets the interest for our mortgage. And finally we have a "Goals" account that we use to save up for big ticket items like a new car, holiday, or something.

We take 10% of our respective incomes each into a personal, "off the books" account and we do whatever we like with that.

Simple.

Very interesting. Is this built on a synthetic dataset? The format they're using hasn't been very relevant for at least half a decade, and the captions themselves seem to have been written by a cartoonist who ran out of ideas a decade ago.
Ditto. Also I'm a big Notion fan but there is no way certain stuff I work on can be on it, or I can recommend it to many people doing sensitive things. Which is a pity. Notions security is its biggest flaw. Also the lack of proper two factor in the modern age is silly.
Is this "can't spy" or just a directive to improve and protect foreigner? Also, they are spy. No one like spying but it is a necessity. In fact, sometimes you cannot let other country be told directly you "inform" their spy! Not sure why they are not allowing to do their job by their own constitution? Limits definitely needed internally, but externally?
I think the main reason is many developer lacks the skill of systematic learning. Never attempt to read the basic manual / document and understand the basic theory behind the technology

I was a tad bummed when realizing what this actually was, but still very much impressed.
This reminds me about the discussion of whether or not it’s legal for businesses to refuse pennies since they’re still “legal tender for all debts”. I believe the general consensus was that it’s legal for a business to refuse some types of currency based on denomination; which makes me think it would be likewise legal to refuse currency based on age.

That of course doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to do so, only that it would be legal.
I'm posting this as someone who runs and enjoys both FreeBSD/OpenBSD: there are good reasons for running *BSD these days, but the ones you listed have lost a lot of their value.

Regarding the Illumos/FreeBSD "trifecta" of zones/jails, ZFS, and DTrace - I prefer LXC, I treat laptops/workstations like cattle and only run FreeBSD+ZFS where its needed, and I don't need DTrace.

Brendan Gregg can elaborate on these topics much better than I can, and his words probably carry more weight, given his involvement with Illumos: http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2017-09-05/solaris-to-linux...
Makita has had the same battery setup for a good long while now (the 18v batteries are something like 15-16 years old), and they have a ton of really good, well thought out tools in the 18v (same as DeWalt 20v) lineup.

Plus, the higher power tools still use the same batteries, just two, rather than forcing you to but yet another set of batteries. I wasn't as impressed with dewalt's tool lineup.
A cluster of x86 servers can be made to be as or more reliable than a mainframe and provide equivalent or superior performance.

For some carefully chosen, possibly hypothetical value of cluster,x86,server, reliable and performance.

To go from a hypothetical to a concrete would require an investment of time and money of sufficient magnitude to make the purchase/lease of an extant mainframe a compelling choice.

Super confused (YC S20) is about to start, Satchel posted three reviews for all YC companies, and were part of (YC S18) — how is this company related to YC? Maybe it’s me, but if the company you pitch on demo day does not make it, appending YC batch to the startup regardless of if the founders were part of a prior batch to me feels like well I don’t know, but at the very least am curious what is going on.
>It's kind of a difficult thing to ask. "Do you want this app to work like every other app in the world in the ways you've come to expect?" If people were to simply reinstall Signal and find that all of their contacts were gone, all of their groups were gone, all of their block lists were gone, etc... they'd almost certainly be surprised. It's not a behavior anyone expects.

I see a lame excuse.

Lets be real: Groups have never worked very well in Signal, so people use alternatives. It's been my experience that at some point it screws up and everyone has to delete the group and we start over again.

Contacts are stored by Apple, Google, Microsoft, and/or their work email provider for a large majority of the population. Only the minority using burners might care and they are likely already used to setting up lists every time they burn a device.

Put a checkbox in the app for: 'Store my blocklist and profile info in Apple/Google's backup system. This will share info with them'. Some users will want that, others won't. Quite a few people would like to have Signal's message backups included in an offline iOS backup, their complaints have fallen on deaf ears. Stop pontificating and give the option. It was a bigger compromise on your end creating a Signal Desktop app than it was to provide an option to include message exports in an encrypted backup.

Say what you will about Telegram, they made a much more reasonable compromise with their 'secure messaging'. This feature is not in their desktop apps as the attack surface of a desktop/laptop is too large. Secure chats instead focus on ephemerality and are torn down after completion. It's a more realistic threat model.

Azure is more than 50% Linux. There's an incredible amount of "regular" Linux instances running on top of hyper-v. This lets them use a virtualized GPU in that env.

On top of that, why would canonical care what hypervisor you're running? There's so many other cases where they haven't gone "eww.. proprietary", why would they start now.
You're really going to delegate censorship decisions to big tech? What's classes as "misinformation" should be our choice as consumers, not theirs.

I really wish Microsoft would just tell NVidia (and AMD) to support SR-IOV on all their GPUs. Then we wouldn't need any major software changes to enable CUDA acceleration within VMs, just a configuration change to pass through a virtual function of the GPU to make it available to existing drivers.
Yeah, this should be the right link. TL;DR Microsoft brings DirectX 12, OpenGL, OpenCL, and CUDA to WSL. Vulkan is under investigation. That's really a piece of exciting news!

Agreed on Newegg. I am currently dealing with two separate issues for items sold by 3rd party. Thankfully, both items were low cost so even if it ends up being a loss, it is not the end of the world, but I used to swear by Newegg. By comparison, Ebay is all third parties, but they have some way to discourage bad actors. Newegg and Amazon are a disappointment lately.

I never thought I would not say it these days, but Ebay has gotten better ( comparatively speaking; maybe others just gotten worse ).
Spotify taking shows that used to be published in RSS and making them exclusives is bad for the really nice ecosystem of podcasts and podcast players that run on RSS, using just simple directories so users can add feeds by search and not only URLs. This is great for privacy (no creepy trackers, podcasts hosts only get your IP address from the download request) and for the fact that it’s not ruled by a central authority (like YouTube or Facebook) meaning creators aren’t subjected to arbitrary and sudden rule changes that may seriously damage their income. This recent article has a great explanation on this issue: https://stratechery.com/2020/dithering-and-the-open-web/

If that "Golden Age" includes the destruction of Nalanda[1], then forgive me if I agree with the person you're replying to, it was an incredibly destructive empire that aggressively expanded and destroyed anything that deemed heretic. As such, it's not exceptional in either sense.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalanda#Decline_and_destructio...

Edit - As I can't reply to stuff like this (it deserved to die) but in case I get anything more like it:

> Find me an "empire" that wasn't destructive. You're disingenuous, and likely racist as all hell. Fuck off.

I'm making that exact point, all empires are destructive, hence the it's not exceptional in either sense. Thanks to all those who can read and all those who don't go around calling others racists for no good reason.
Ah, yeah, I agree - there's a lot of optimism that the economy will come "roaring back", but in a lot of areas that doesn't seem possible. People who have been out of work for months won't have the money to spend on restaurants and concerts like they used to; the office landscape is rearranging and may never look the same.

I am hopeful that we will get some kind of new deal (hopefully green!) going on in order to help people, or maybe even something approximating universal basic income, but either way that money will have to come from somewhere. Currently it seems like the largest corporations could pay a lot more in taxes, but a lot of that money comes from online ads, which relies on online commerce, which relies on a big enough population with jobs to spend money.

So we'll see, I guess - going to be a rocky couple of years I think.
Thank you for your detailed insight

Unfortunately delusional statements like this only end up hurting the cause you are trying to promote. Biological males are physically stronger than biological females - full stop.

NYTimes:

"In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Hobby Lobby accused the auction house Christie’s of “deceitful and fraudulent conduct” in connection with an ancient tablet bearing a fragment of Gilgamesh.
The suit claims “fraud and breach of express and implied warrant” in connection with the tablet, and seeks the return of what it paid for the tablet.
In a statement on Tuesday, Christie’s said the lawsuit was related to an unidentified dealer’s admission of illegal activity “predating Christie’s involvement” with the tablet."

Interesting how few are interested in the defense that Hobby Lobby was a victim.
