I see your point and agree, for the best food you will want to go and find a table near the kitchen. However much of the market doesn't prioritize the best food as highly as convenience. They will happily order for delivery and get food of a somewhat lower quality for the added convenience. Even if delivery is more expensive than managing dine-in customers they will be willing to pay for that convenience

For example I often have friends over and it often makes more sense to order in than busy myself with cooking or traveling to a restaurant and coming back to continue our game/karaoke/whatever.

I think there is a large market and various points along the quality/price/convenience tradeoff have the ability to be profitable. There will probably always be a market for fine-dining and always be a market for delivery. There will also be a market for various points in between.
It's a combination of factors. Insecticides, pollution, loss of habitat, light pollution(especially from daylight LEDs), global warming(throwing off reproduction timing), ubiquitous roadways and vehicles, flat surfaces(beetles get stuck on their back).
On the practical side, how would people show that their work hasn't been affected negatively by using Excel? How would the journals evaluate that? I suspect this would just become another box to check - yes, we use Excel, yes, we checked the results, like the last 50 times.

Intellectually, it feels snobbish to single out Excel like this. I'm a software engineer in science, and I generally agree that scientists should learn some kind of coding. But you can make mistakes in Python or R as well - not to mention in physical experiments. We should check data and methods in general, not presume incompetence if people use one tool.
This reminds me of a piece Glenn Greenwald wrote after Trump won the election. He'd been saying the same thing for a while but Clinton's loss finally proved his point:

> opinion-making elites were so clustered, so incestuous, so far removed from the people who would decide this election — so contemptuous of them — that they were not only incapable of seeing the trends toward Trump but were unwittingly accelerating those trends with their own condescending, self-glorifying behavior.

Many of the most influential journalists and politicians are shockingly out of touch with (and often hostile towards) the everyday people they're supposed to represent. It's now painfully clear that the media has little or no interest in reporting the truth, they want to create it themselves.
TypeScript is following JavaScript, not the other way around. Generally, ECMAScript proposals get added to TypeScript when they hit stage 3. Optional chaining and nullish coalescing were added to V8/Chrome and TypeScript around the same time.

As Thomas Mann said, everything is politics. I would add that has always been the case.

Up to that moment, hardware maintenance meant having to power cycle the server. True HPC systems like those that ran at the US National Labs didn't find its way to the general market, and still haven't as far as I know.
That's the problem of having Excel open CSV files by default - if you use Data//From Text/CSV you get a chance to change the import process to make those columns text rather than Excel guessing they are numbers.
So I guess the question is, do people who play LOTS of console games (e.g. professional streamers) get RSI?

This comment really looks like it's a reply to some article other than this one.

Realistically, do you think JS programmers are going to form two camps?

Math.pow(x, y)

I don't think so. I think people will just stop using Math.pow.

Nor do I foresee a big problem with some numeric constants being written with separators and others not.

In the unlikely event there's a problem with either addition, prettier can be enhanced to make it so developers don't need to be up to speed on them.

If I agreed with the premise that his recommendations have no value, I'd probably look for framing solutions, too.

Since I do value the recommendations of some people over a simple aggregated popularity score, I'm more interested in how to effectively communicate how unhelpful derailing every PG-related thread is.
I'm designing a card game at the moment and have been pondering this because I'm doing play testing online, so the shuffling is done by a computer and is therefore perfectly random.

I'm wondering how having non-perfect shuffling will affect the game play when it's a real world game and card combinations end up being left together.
Pattern Matching and JavaScript Style Object Destructuring in Ruby 2.7
I agree with it being familiarity. I grew up with Macs in school, and have been using them since OS 8 and 9, some experience with System 7 (uncommon for how young I am). There's lot and lots of little details that have carried on throughout all the years that just seem "normal" to me.

I find myself facing inconsistent and surprising behaviors with Windows despite it being my primary OS at work.

Growing up with Mac and Linux makes Windows seem quite strange :)
I'm convinced 80% of people essentially never "open their eyes" so for them Twitter blends into the background.

For most, source does not matter, hearing/seeing something 5-7 times for these people is sufficient to convince them it is real, they don't consider anything else.

My take on why a state needs to "allow" a person to consume anything whatsoever: this attitude has roots in cultural and religious values.

For centuries, the Christian religion sought to eradicate "witchcraft" and pagan practices in the Western world. The use of mind-altering substances in particular is commonly associated with taboos, in an anthropological sense. It's no secret that they can bring a person to visionary ecstasy, to experience heaven and hell, to see or even be God. (Subjectively, I might add.)

The history of prohibition and the legal justifications are, in my opinion, symptoms of these unconscious, generational mindset in society, heavily shaped by religion. I'm glad to see the tides change - after decades of criminalization, we're collectively gaining more understanding of the therapeutic potential of these substances.

We always talk about 8 or 9 year cycles but never cycles which are every 8 or 9 cycles. In the ocean there are multiple frequency of waves which means sometimes no waves where they cancel each other out and other times where they combine.

Saving Your Initial Reaction
It's not the bluetooth chipset that's the determining factor, but rather apple's proprietary W1 chip.

There are a lot of exceptions depending on the device and the BT stack used, but to process both audio input from the mic and output to the headphones, and to provide the low latency needed for a voice call, bluetooth headsets go into SBO "mode" which drops the audio quality down to a tinny 8bit mono.

If airpods (or certain beats headphones the right hardware) connect to a device with the W1 chip, instead of switching to SBO mode, they send a raw AAC stream to be decoded by the W1 chip. It's still compressed but much higher quality than SBO. 2016s don't have a W1, and as far as I am aware no mac does but I don't know that for sure.

BT5 addresses some of this, and there are other proprietary addons to Bluetooth that do similar things, most of them made by qualcomm (aptx, aptx ll, etc)
I can't shout this loud enough! This is important!

That's true. There are other context clues that we can use, like a patient's medical history, how their breathing looks/sounds, or if their environment or mental status suggests CO poisoning (that also won't show up even on the perfect pulse ox, since it binds to hemoglobin the same way oxygen does). Overall we just need a better way to get information about oxygen levels.
> Limited languages that support a single paradigm, and support it well.

Yeah, Python got this right when it said "There should be one obvious way to do it". It's a shame the language seems to have disregarded that part of the "Zen of Python" recently.
We have one street like this here in Grenoble. I was so freaked out the first time I walked there, since the lights dimmed up gradually, so it took me a couple of times to be sure I'm not imagining things. :P
"immediately terminates the connection"

Reminds me of some old Firewalls that would actively poll active connections, and when one is made that violates their rules, "immediately" terminate it. Often times, an attacker can embed a lot in just a single URL in the query string (stolen passwords etc) that would be done in < 5ms, faster than the firewall can act (if not even faster than the polling interval itself), specially if there is plenty of rules and active connections and/or the machine is slow (e.g playing games).

That's like choosing to not have a door on your house, because you know you can run fast and shoot the thief when they enter.

Maybe its not as bad for hardware due to the inherit latencies involved, but I am always skeptic about things that use polling vs sitting in the middle at the kernel before a USB connection is allowed to happen to the OS in the first place.

The default (aka the one that nobody will change) connection-polling interval for this thing is 250ms, which doesn't seem too small for me for many conceivable attack scenarios.

For Mac, it runs this:

os.system("killall Finder ; killall loginwindow ; halt -q")

This won't prevent windows from reopening after a reboot.

A possible exploit for this could be the USB pretending to be a keyboard, opening an exploit website or an app with malicious argument values, then you immediately shutdown the Mac, reboot manually and boom, the website/app opens up and the machine gets owned anyway post-reboot!

Also, lack of Windows support is upsetting, considering there isn't much code change required to do so.

The "melt" feature is one I really like and respect the thought they put to make it.

When I read his 'discovery' of fast modulo division [1], it immediately reminded me of the same technique discussed as an aside in this very interesting [2006] IBM SIMD paper [2].

I let him know about this and he added the last footnote in [1], but no update of his blog or related github page saying "hah, turns out this was a known method at least in IBM'. It left a slight bad impression in my mind.

Tell me about it - I work a support desk for an MSP; all Windows. I can't tell you how many times I've struggled with file permissions or partitions that I know would be very easy to fix in a *sh shell... Imagine being told "access denied" when you're running the command prompt as "administrator"!
At some point in my life I became extremely fussy about wanting to know where my food came from — particularly the meat — and the conditions under which all of it was produced. Vegetables, cereals, meat, dairy, the lot.

No more spring onions from farms employing exploited labour. Certainly nothing imported from countries without labour regulations or farming standards. No more indoor only “free range” chicken etc.

I’ve met the cows I eat and the hipsters who grow my cabbage. Both are very pleasant and show no signs of duress. All my suppliers have first names and Instagram accounts. There’s lots of evidence, alongside the produce itself, to cross reference their credentials. The market exists for more expensive, more carefully reared and more kindly cultivated produce of all kinds.

I trust only a handful of restaurants to get these details right and have had to accept that eating out is even more of a luxury than it used to be. None of the trusted restaurants are the local ghost kitchens, nor are they likely to be. Competing on price and efficient goes completely against the, ahem, grain.

I don’t want food to be cheap, fast, or efficient, and rarely — if ever — to be prepared by strangers I will never meet.
I noticed sometimes that frozen dinners in the supermarket are sometimes 10/$10.

Maybe this doesn't qualify as "full" (or possibly even "nutritious") but could food preservation figure into it?

also, recognize there is a demand.

Another thing I think about, is that probably in the 90's (the era of the CD) I remember meeting someone who worked in digital music (this was so long ago I can't recall who). But I remember what he said "in the future, digital music will probably cost like 10 or 20 cents a song or less". I couldn't imagine it at the time.

Could the same happen with food? Maybe there's a lot of overhead built into our current model of getting "cheap" groceries and cooking.

Could $300/mo on groceries be expensive compared to buying component items like flour or rice or salt?

and what if delivery brought a week of meals instead of one-offs?

Eh, depends on how you carve things up. There is a subreddit for just about anything, so you can find diverse opinions there.

How is "06.08.2020" unambiguous?
I wonder how many centuries it might take for the US to start to care about insects or the environment like some European countries do with the recent regress in policies overall that isn't about ONLY increasing overall GDP in the US.

And I say this even not considering Trump, which is a big menace. But democrat candidates in the US also don't care about the environment, not showing much promise. So do the Americans in general with their huge SUVs and completely unhealthy lifestyles(for them and the environment). I wonder how much this shitshow can go on.
There's certainly precedent for impeachment to break along simple party lines (for both parties; a similar thing happened with Clinton), but that doesn't mean it's not abrogation of responsibility when it does.

The Future of Media and Startup Visibility
While I have thought that the culture around chefs was a sign of decline, where we have a new middle class that only distinguishes itself through taste, and who use food as a proxy for their narcissism of small differences, this article still misses the mark. I do think cooking is craft and culture, and that entrepreneurship is heroic, and that some chefs really do earn respect for doing both, but there is a genre of restaurant that exists to flatter the conceits of the aforementioned sort of diners, (like critics who imagine they earn an honest living complaining about food), instead of providing an honest service. But the article is not about that.

The article problematizes the craftsmen and entrepreneurs as a vehicle for the same old conflict that the ideology of the authors is literally designed to manufacture. As a writer, the writing in this article, criticism free from the constraints of insight or art, says more about journalism than it does about chefs.
The Obesity Code is a good primer on weight loss being a hormonal imbalance rather than caloric imbalance, the things that cause this imbalance and how to resolve it. Fasting is a chapter that he expands upon in The Complete Guide to Intermittent Fasting ("CGIF")

My first reaction to your statement about it being "just marketing material for some fitness coach" was "that's absurd" but then as I reflected a bit more I can see how some people may have taken it to be him trying to pitch his clinic in Toronto, but I don't think this is the right interpretation. He is a practicing nephrologist who refers in his book (like many books written by doctors) to many case studies. I didn't at any point think "Gee, I should fly to Toronto and get into this program" but rather thought the case studies lent some context to his claims.

I suggest reading the book and forming your own opinion. I was fasting before I read the book, but the book helped me understand some of the science, pitfalls, and protocols.
Just wanted to highlight this piece from the article:

"Depression and other mood disorders are widely recognized among the most important risk factors for suicide... [Bertolote and Fleischmann (2002)] report that 98% of those who died by suicide had a diagnosable mental disorder."

You can dispute the number to some extent, but thinking of suicide as a choice made in sound mind is a misrepresentation of the reality of suicide.

At some point, you generate a dataframe with the data in R, save it as a csv, email it to someone, and they open it in.....Excel.
macOS arm64 can run on non-Apple hardware using a relatively lightly changed KVM (and the Qemu-side changes are even less intensive than the iOS on Qemu project). However, it doesn't come without compromises on most hardware.

What I can enumerate as risk factors for running macOS arm64 in a VM:

- ARMv8.1 atomics are mandatory. This excludes Cortex-A72 devices, like the RPi4, and earlier generations.

- 16KB page support are mandatory, excludes the RPi4 and other devices too.

- Rosetta uses an MSR to switch the memory model, this makes x86 threads have to all run only at one core at once on Arm CPUs where there isn't a stronger memory model.
Notably, some Arm server CPUs provide TSO, making this a non-issue, and Nvidia's Tegra Xavier CPUs provide sequential consistency, making it a non-issue.

- PAC, not a big risk factor, trap once and then patch to the non-PAC variant at worst for instructions that aren't in the NOP space.

- FP16/dotproduct: provided in HW from quite some other manufacturers, and even when it isn't, you could feasibly emulate those fast enough.

On GPUs, Metal paravirtualization exists in macOS 11, maybe would be better to target that for reverse-engineering purposes.

I suspect it is possible, but margins will be very tight and will require volume/scale and velocity.

Velocity (in money) is an unintuitive concept (Returns = Margin * Velocity), but it's how many ethnic grocers get returns on relatively low margins. (that, and tremendous cost control, staffing with family members, different supply chains, etc.)

$300/mth sounds about right (I checked mine, ~$325 in Chicago, at big box grocery stores, eating healthy, lots of meat and produce). There was a time when I was shopping exclusively at ethnic groceries and my average was ~$200/mth ($50/wk).
