> There is no evidence that taking a basic mulit-vitamin has any benefit for average people.

I've heard this, before, i've even seen studies linked.

The study you linked shows a 3-4% increase in morality rate, but with a error margin of 95%, that, uhh, doesn't add up to much.

The studies commonly linked usually test healthy people without any vitamin deficiencies in order to see if giving somebody "extra" vitamins has any benefit. A worthless measure when, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, 40% of people have a vitamin deficiency of some kind.
Whenever I hear about these safety features saving people from near misses I always wonder how they've got this far driving without dying. For example, lane keep assist. If you can't stay in a lane you can't drive. It's such a basic requirement. So I can only assume that people are deviating from their lanes simply because these safety features exist.

I agree that rendering graphics as a separate file is fine. I think, if one wants to get better interoperability with TeX, they can try to make Penrose produce TikZ, which can be then embedded into the TeX document.
I was in the market recently for a new laptop after owning 2 different MB pros since 2011. I ended up buying a System76 linux laptop and couldn't be happier. It's cheaper and it's built for software devs. The keyboard is amazing. Only real downside is the trackpad isn't as good. But I use a mouse anyways.
I heard it mentioned that Bernie Madoff, in one sitting, stole more money than all African American criminals in the history of the US combined.

Indeed, but when did I say otherwise? You said the militia existed to overthrow a then-unimagined police, but clearly that's not the case (because there was no police).
Don’t buy an older model with the butterfly keyboard and avoid touchbar where possible. Problem solved. I actually disagree with the trackpad complaints. I’ve never used a better trackpad in my life. It’s really a joy, and palm rejection is not perfect, but close enough that it doesn’t bother me.
There really is no logical argument. People have their preferences for a bike or a car but the car is faster than the bike just like how the debugger is generally better then printing. There is very little logical argument for the alternative.

Taking a snapshot of program state using log is isomorphic to freezing the program at that same state. The difference is that with the debugger you have the option to step into the next state or increase your resolution and look at state within a lower level module/function. With the debugger you have access to ALL state at the point where you froze it, not just statements you happened to log.

With logs, the way you debug is you log some state, reset the program with more logs and iterate until you find an issue. With a debugger you freeze the program examine all the state .... advance the program however far you want.... then the issue is found (unless you advanced the state too far ... but with logging the state ALWAYS advances too far until the end of execution, so with logging you always need to reset).

Logically, logging is just debugging with less features so people who prefer logging just in general don't want to use the extra features. Additionally logging has the added downside of constantly polluting your pristine code with your log annotations which you have to remove later (can introduce more bugs). While debugging with console PDB has the same effect, a GUI largely alleviates this problem.

The only argument for logging/printing is that you can use logging to debug an application in production.

> The "revolving door" is funny to see how ridiculous it can get, but really who of the citizenry would be better prepared to steward these organizations? What exactly would the pedigree of that person look like?

Let's invert your argument on it's head:

- No one of the citizenry exists to play this role. Why?

- There is nothing stopping anyone who has regulated the system from switching sides to the thing they used to regulate

- Therefore, anyone qualified enough will pass through the revolving door and systematically brain-drain the regulatory apparatus rendering it impotent

- Therefore, this part of capitalism is able to seamlessly absorb and neutralize any resistance or regulation

- Therefore, there is nothing stopping it from absorbing all power and instituting a one party state

> But there is evidence of how deficiencies in these vitamins cause other problems unrelated to coronavirus.

To play the devil's advocate, no, that's not true. What we have are just associations which could be spurious. It is often said the general population is deficient in this or that vitamin, but in the west at least we are no longer in danger of developing scurvy or rickets and beyond that there's actually not much evidence that vitamins improve our health.

(Note — not enough evidence means just that, and is certainly not evidence of absence)

Of course, take your vitamins, I've taken vitamin C and D long before this coronavirus and I've caught colds less frequently — but truth be told, I haven't isolated the variables, I have no idea why I felt better and it could be just coincidence.

The problem in believing diet can make a difference is that it may take resources away from investigating treatments that actually work.

In a clinical setting we are talking about high intravenous doses, which are supposedly meant to give the immune system a boost and not to fix prior deficiencies. There's not much evidence that high intravenous doses work either.

In the context of the population, keeping your distance, washing your hands, wearing masks and even if you catch the virus, minimizing the viral load you're exposed to, will probably do much more good than a healthy diet. If you do everything else, then fine, optimize your diet too, but often people get lost in minutiae, forgetting proper hygiene.

For static sites Firebase is quite good. You get a global CDN by default and the free plan is enough for most personal purposes.
I've been using GitLab pages along with its CI, and it has been really great for static sites.

For less static websites, I'd recommend signing up for free tier GCP. They give you a (very small) VM for free. I've had no problem running several docker containers backing my personal sites. To be fair, they don't really have much traffic, but for the < 10 people that use my stuff, it has worked out great.

The GitLab CI is really nice, and I'd recommend it even if you don't go for Pages or GCP. It's pretty simple to set it up to automatically build images (using its personal container registry) and deploy them for you.

With this setup, the only things I pay for are domain names which I use to add SSL via let's encrypt and HAProxy (which also does some routing for me).

Hope this helps give someone some ideas.

I will be honest, I used to be a very active Pocket user as soon as it got bought by Mozilla, hoping that Mozilla would have open-source a significant part (in not all) the tech behind Pocket (so I could use my own install if wanted) and because the personalized recommendations it provided were very relevant to my interests.

Sadly, Pocket hasn't become open-source nor has it kept its awesome personalized recommendations.
1. They are doing it with substantially less budget than their competitors.

2. Developers shouldn't have to build software for the greater good by sacrificing their livelihood.

Same here - I've pinned my Linux machines to Firefox 74 for the moment, in the no-doubt vain hope that someone upstream will see sense before too long.

I was previously using the option (that was removed in Firefox 75) to make the URL bars on the Windows and Mac versions behave in the same way as on Linux - I was really happy to be able to do that, since I've never understood why the single-click-highlight behaviour in some other browsers was supposed to be a good thing. But those Firefox installs are self-updating rather than managed through the package manager, so they got the new behaviour automatically. It's been a couple of months now, but I still don't like it.

While I 100% agree that having doing most of the tracing at the sidecar level is the right call, you'll still need "some" application-level awareness of tracing (e.g. passing along b3 headers: https://github.com/openzipkin/b3-propagation ), or you won't be able to match various spans to a common trace and lose a _lot_ of value from your distributed tracing.

Some actual details from the article once you get past the initial five paragraphs of breathless popscience-journalism:

> "In other words, we do not assume that one law of gravity is correct, but only assume that the correct law of gravity (i.e., whichever that is) allows the existence of black holes," Cunha and Herdeiro said. "Then, forcing the spacetime structure to obey to some regularity requirements, the existence of a black hole implies that there must be a light ring outside the horizon. In fact, a rotating black hole must have at least two light rings: one for light circling the black hole in the same spinning direction as the black hole and another one for light circling the black hole in the opposite direction."

Exactly what I did. I loved my used 2015 but I ordered a 16" 2019 on day one. While I like it and it's my "daily driver", it was surprisingly low on wow factor.

The biggest win on the 16" are the speakers. I didn't consider them at all but they've basically eliminated my use of external speakers. Touchbar is very underwhelming. USB-C is a tossup. I got to buy new dongles, chargers, cables, etc. which I actually enjoy but in the end I'm mostly plugging USB-A devices in with adapters.

I really miss having a big microSD in a flush adapter as spare space. I miss having tiny USB 3 flash drives nearly flush in USB-A ports.

> Being an anti-democratic organisation which violently attacks civilians for having made the “wrong” vote in a democratic election is not.

this is a lie though. where's your evidence of this? where is it organized? If "attacks on civilians for having made the wrong vote" actually happened at all, let alone on the scale you're talking about, don't you think trump would be parading arrested people around like bin laden? don't you think they'd have a list of wanted members?

it's a nonexistent boogeyman. so far in this thread someone has mentioned "they beat people in the head with bike locks". OK, how many times has that happened? Less than 20? Less than 10? Can't you see how ridiculous (and bad faith) it is to pretend that that is a vast anti-democratic organization?? Can't you see that this boogeyman is gonna be used to vilify anyone who opposes the fascism they're pushing for?

Or do you not care? Better to have journalists shot in the eyes, protesters murdered, beat in the streets so that you don't have to question your ghost story about thousands of angry ninjas with bike locks beating up everyone who voted for trump?
