Given what obese people deal with on a regular basis, your fat shaming is really unlikely to make much of a difference on the margin and is more likely to be counter-productive by making them more depressed.

There is also a huge difference between sharing candid concerns about someone's weight when you already know them and can be somewhat compassionate about it and shaming a random person you don't know.
Finding Nemo was almost 20 years ago and as I recall, Pixar did a lot of work to reproduce the look of marine animals that have translucent layers to their skin. Seems like a level of detail that real-time engines might not bother with.

But yeah, the Mandalorian used real-time rendering in-camera for a ton of its scenes. They fudged it a bit by using wide apertures so the backgrounds were a bit soft, but it obviously worked very well.
The question isn’t whether the effect exists. It would be incredibly surprising to discover that our bodies absorb literally every single food exactly the same.

The question is whether the effect is large enough to actually matter. And maybe it does, maybe there is a magic diet that allows you to eat well above your TDEE without gaining weight but nobody has found it yet.
Ted from Namecheap here.

I cannot speak to GoDaddy's practices. However, I can say that for Namecheap, this is not something we would ever even consider doing.

In my experience though, lookups are more complex than most think. We are querying so many different sources to give you availability status, some of which are less reliable than others. For example, with smaller TLDs like .ai or .is, lookups may be less reliable than a well-oiled machine like Verisign, which operates the .com and .net TLDs, among others. As a result, sometimes with a less reliable registry, there can be false positives, resulting in the registrar showing a domain as "available" when it is actually registered.

In addition to registry connection reliability, there are also many different aftermarket sources that registrars often pull from. You know when you see a Premium domain (registered and usually higher priced) in search? That could be coming from any number of 3rd party aftermarket platforms, which also can have varying reliability and/or stale listings.

Lastly, you have to consider that some registrars handle the "drop window" differently than others. If a domain deletes and is removed from the zone, ergo, becoming available again, some registrars have a buffer period before they show it as available again.

It does not appear that Felons.io had ever been registered before, which makes this case pretty strange.
Also got this happen with me on Namecheap, but aint mad since they got top notch customer support anyways (if you've tried their live chat, thats what im talkin about).

Trick is to NOT include the domain extension, in your case just search for "felons" and dont add to cart anything at all unless you're ready to pay for it immediately. These sites naturally got behaviour analytics behind them that they lever up against their customers for a higher ask price for their domains. If you behave in a way they can precisely predict your real wants, well that is exactly what happens.

Edit: some guy from Namecheap just commented claiming they dont do this. That is possible imo, maybe its all just coincidence and we're all conspiracy theorists, but eitherway err on the side of cautious if you want og domain names, lol.

You've got it exactly right. Your problem of pods not being deregistered is a real problem, but also with a quick fix: The default "Deregistration delay" for ALBs is 300 seconds but for kubernetes pods the TerminationGracePeriod defaults to 60 seconds. This means that your load balancer keeps trying that pod for 4 whole minutes after it's been hard-shutdown.

Here's the annotation that I used to fix that:

alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-group-attributes: deregistration_delay.timeout_seconds=30,slow_start.duration_seconds=30
A lot of optimizations can't be easily added later without redesign. But it doesn't mean they are always necessary.

Question is, how deep to go first.

You don't need much in the way of resources to invalidate a patent. Proof of prior use, or published prior disclosure. The measure of proof being balance-of-probabilities.

If you have that you're immune, show up with your print out, you get costs.

If you lose you might have to, for example, hand over profits.

The flipside is that small companies can use patents to prevent unlicensed exploitation of their own inventions.

This is my personal view and does not relate to my employment.

Coincidentally I recently read that a Tsilhqot'in family in the Cariboo area of British Columbia is building a traditional "pit house" of the sort their ancestors would have used for thousands of years.

https://www.thefreepress.ca/news/a-pit-house-for-a-tsilhqoti...

I suspect this Tsilhqot'in family will have more success than those in this article because they will be listening to elders, considering traditional proven techniques, and most importantly, their location and environment matches the house style.

The lands of the Tsilhqot'in are in the rain shadow of the coast mountains, so dryer than other parts of BC. They will accordingly most likely not suffer mold issues and since Cariboo summers can be very hot, their pit house will most likely be a cool refuge.

I guess I am one of the few who thinks GoDaddy is a decent service. Yes, they front run, which sucks. Could I move? Sure. Moving a large amount of domains with differing end dates is painful and expensive.

It was thrown around in early streams on Jai, but it was removed. (IIUC, with the intent to let it happen in a library using Jai's metaprogramming.)
Yeah, I'm in your boat. I've gotten noticeably trimmer since this started, despite a bunch of non-COVID related stress piling up on me.

The only positive difference I can identify is that I eat out 0 times a week now instead of 2-3.
So they're going to delete their location transmitting and tracking app Maps?
This was after many back-and-forths. So we put together a contract that would be the same price as if they were a customer using our UI, but they would pay all at once instead of each time they added a domain, and they would get an API to manage their domains.
Not really... for me, iOS is a hard target, because all the non-default browsers (Chrome, Brave, Firefox) interact in different ways with the underlying engine that Safari provides.

Bugs present in iOS browsers, won't be present in Android browsers even if the browser version is the same which makes debugging harder.

For example, it turns having 3 targets (Chrome, Firefox, Safari...) into 5 targets (Chrome Android, Chrome ioS, Firefox Android, Firefox iOS, Safari iOS).

Differences between mobile/desktop browser are relatively minor in comparison.

On the Chrome side, there's fragmentation from all the browser that just wrap Chrome like Samsung Internet and QQ, but those are greatly mitigated by having up to date apps or are region specific so won't apply if your business doesn't do business in China.
Considering you call your blog article about this "pandemic woo" and start it off with saying "Here we are part-way through 2020, the year humanity started a war against the common cold, and lost", I'm going to say that we'll never even approach middle ground on this and wish you a good day.
I'm afraid I don't follow.

Sweden didn't lock down because they wanted to achieve herd immunity quickly, while still taking measures to protect the most vulnerable. Spain locked down, actively attempting to minimize the spread of the virus.

How is the failure of Spain to achieve herd immunity (while actively attempting to achieve the opposite) a counterpoint to the Swedish example?
That's my point. If that's your frame of reference then underground is hard. If you work on ships or something for a living then it's not so bad.
Apple Bricked My Gen 1 Apple TV
I've got a lot of Apple products, including three Apple TV boxes. The oldest one (Gen 1) had been sitting on a shelf for a few months since I moved a TV. Yesterday I re-connected it and it came up just fine. It showed that I was logged in, but some of my purchased content was not showing. I decided to try logging out, and then back in again. Unfortunately, Apple has now mandated 2FA and the Gen1 Apple TV does not support it. I phoned Apple Support and they informed me that 2FA cannot be removed from an account. This is a change they made a few months ago.
The upshot is this: If you have any older (non-supported) Apple products that use your Apple ID, they may get bricked in the same manner.

New DeFi Opportunities and How Dfinance Creates Them
Agreed. Just a matter of time, personnel, and offering price

Any reality that becomes more adjacent in possibility-space today, is better conceived as the seed of a future you might find yourself living in. Most any protective institution is just a set of measures working against this process -- moving things away from us in possibility-space

So worrying about this stuff is fair game. The only way I'd not worry, is if there was a complementary protective measure that protected us from the future we don't want. But that wasn't part of the announcement, so we're probably all a little bit less secure in getting the world we want. (EDIT: Though maybe funding archive.org would count as that...?)
you know, this explains why I have lost a couple domains in the past. What a shady shitty thing to do.

It’s not awful at all. I installed it yesterday on my iPhone X and I’ve had no problems. I also have the exact same alarm setup and my alarm worked fine. It’s unrealistic to expect there to be literally zero bugs for zero people, and of course the people who do experience bugs will post about it online, but that doesn’t really give a statistically meaningful impression of how reliable iOS 14 is.

> Counterpoint is Madrid, Spain, which had one of the worst outbreaks in the spring (antibody tests showed prevalence of 11%[0], higher than Stockholm[1]) and now is having a severe outbreak again[2]. What explanation is there other than herd immunity not having been reached?

The outbreak in Spain isn't as severe as you might think, there's a lot more positive tests, yet a lot less illness.

Herd immunity just means that R=1 without precautions. I would agree that Spain hasn't quite achieved herd immunity, but spread right now isn't anything like earlier this year.

One could speculate that because Spain went into such a strict lockdown, herd immunity could not be achieved, or that herd immunity was achieved, it just didn't last because COVID immunity doesn't last.
The whole stop smoking campaign was based on shame. It's highly addictive, its the only way to make people stop. We need to start heavily shaming. It's a very useful tool in behavior change of the resistant.
Why, the 5th dimension is your imagination of course!
In "struct of arrays" all the arrays have the same size and indexing, so the array index into "array of structs" is the same as the index into each array in "struct of arrays".

A general pointer/reference type that might point to a single struct in "array of structs" can be transformed to a "wide pointer" representation as pointer/reference to the array and index into the array.

If analysis can't prove the pointer is constant, then the representation will be an opaque wide token outside the transformed code, which is fine. If it can prove the pointer is constant, the run time representation does not need to be wide, as it's just the index, also opaque outside the transformed code.

There's no need to have a representation as a regular pointer, because there's no way the struct pointer/reference type can be dereferenced outside of transformed code anyway, only passed around.
Also we drive everywhere. Other countries in Europe/Asia/Africa walking is normal. People will walk to their neighbor, the park, work, or the market. US cities have some walk-ability features but streets in US suburbs are not walkable, you have to drive everywhere. Even if you walk here in the suburbs, people in their cars rubberneck and find you interesting. My observations anyway.

It sadly doesn't work like that. Idiots are idiots.
"You sold me this truck, and it doesn't work anymore.

Ensue time, energy and money lost to defend yourself against idiots who don't listen.

Edit : I don't know anything about trucks or John Deere. But you can see this type of "artificial" limitation with simple unlock pretty often. For example the cpu overclocking community : the manufacturer doesn't officialy support overclocking, but they give hints and some advice if you want to do it anyway. You fry your cpu, you're on your own.
Chromium — yeah, seems like not friendly towards outside contributors, and nobody has convinced Google to accept stuff they don't care about (JIT for unpopular CPUs, support for new windowing systems, video decoding acceleration APIs, …).

Mozilla? Getting your patches merged is rather easy and very pleasant. Firefox is truly a community project we all build together.
I don't think that is true. Part of the problem is that once you are obese then it's already kind of game over. There seems to be a pretty strong consensus that losing large amounts of weight is extremely hard and even when it does happen, people tend to eventually gain it all back.

I see the body positivity movement as just trying to reconcile that reality. If you are already obese then you might as well try and find a way to live a happy life because you are probably never going to be slender again.

I can't speak to tattoos specifically, but I'm familiar with IP contracts in other creative areas, and in every one of those cases, no contract means the copyright belongs to the creator.
It’s probably a very rare combination of specific factors that caused this bug for this person. My iPhone alarm had no problems whatsoever this morning after installing iOS 14 last night. Your comment would be more applicable if we had reason to believe that they had simply completely broken the alarm feature and that no one at Apple had bothered testing it.
I feel like if they started banning and cutting access to paid content they’d be doing something illegal or at least setting themselves up for class action.

EDIT: i guess you’re right. They are that draconian: https://www.roadtovr.com/fake-facebook-account-oculus-headse...

It’s no wonder they were banned in China. They’d rival the Party in big brother power.
idk... John Deere is notorious for DRMing their tractors so that even out of warranty modifications or repairs are impossible. It should be up to the user to be able to do the modifications they like and it's simply then up to the manufacturer whether to honor the warranty if the device/tractor has been significantly tampered with.
Author here. The Open AWS Catalogue is something I wish I had when I started out. Its meant to be a reference to EVERYTHING that you would need to work with AWS. Currently there's still a bunch missing but it should give you an idea of what it will become

Nuclear is the only way we’re going to be able to get ahead of climate change. Renewables do not have the energy density required at this point. In the 70s? Sure, we might have been able to get ahead of it. At this point, we’re going to need nuclear whether we like it or not. Nuclear is the only option that will provide enough power to both scrub out existing carbon from the atmosphere and reduce our output of carbon while we do it.
I think you are correct. The observation that was apparently key to W&C modelling the structure correctly was that the phosphates were on the outside of the helix.

In my view of the history of this discovery, this would possibly be the only thing "stolen" from Rosalind Franklin by W&C.

Nevertheless, despite the rhetoric that often surrounds this issue, it is worth noting

0) that Franklin was dead at the time the relevant Nobels were awarded, and they are not awarded posthumously;

1) the Nobel W&C received was actually awarded to three people, the third being Wilkins, who was a co-investigator with Franklin.
As much as godaddy sucks for just about anything, I would suggest not searching for domains unless you are prepared to buy it on the spot.

Ever heard of Kessennuma [1]? You probably don't remember the name. When the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake hit, an oil tank ruptured, caught fire, and burnt for four days. According to [2], 1,152 people were killed, with additional 214 missing. That's a similar level as Fukushima's expected casualties, probably more.

But nobody talks about Kessennuma, and nobody brings it up as an evidence that fossil fuels are an inherently dangerous technology that must be purged from the earth to protect our children. Because, apparently, dying in an oil fire is not scary enough.

Sixten: Functional Programming with Fewer Indirections
What the words means in common usage doesn't have to track what immunity actually is. Colloquially, immunity means sterilizing immunity. Actually, immunity doesn't have to be sterilizing.
It isn't done for multiple arguments because that would make the function's signature more restrictive than what you'd normally want.
If I were to do this all over again, I don't think I would do it this way at all.

I would use something like Caddy which manages it's own config and has an API for live updates.

SQLite for the user management and administration.

I would possibly have 2 Caddy nodes though, with a LB between them (instead of my potentially flawed heartbeat floating IP mechanism). The application would do an atomic update to both Caddy servers, if either failed, it would roll it back.

But you are still looking at around $30-40/mo for hosting, not saving much money, but making it much simpler and saving headaches.
Well we've yet to develop a COVID-19 vaccine that ditzy parents can ignore/avoid. Stupidity isn't an excuse for more stupidity.
It depends. For lists, I do spaces. Allows for more levels than a tab would. But for everything else, tabs.

I've also grown to loathe that first-line tab beginning the second paragraph. It makes left-aligned text look wonky.

I loathe centered text too.

I'm not a rounded rectangle person.

I think the colored block UI that's all over Android, sites like HN, etc. looks tacky. We went from semi-transparent glass UI to flat colored blocks, and somehow interfaces got slower and more processor intensive. Now, that's a horse of a different color.
