I suffered from terrible psoriasis. The medicine was expensive ($100 copays) and it was constantly itchy, flaking, and ugly.

In my case, it was stress related. I quit my job, took another job that paid more but with less stress. And everything disappeared over the course of two weeks.

I realize this doesnt work for every disease, but some are stress related.
Another question worth asking: did any of the athletes you knew take PEDs at any time in their past, but stopped once they approached a level where getting caught would mean the end of their career?
As someone who has written userland implementations of several crypto algorithms in the past (parts of PKCS5: PBKDF2 and PBES2), I’m positive you could say this about my code as well.

If you were both following the same spec, they should be very similar. Intentionally renaming things would just make it more confusing for the next guy and more difficult for anyone to validate your code.

EDIT: and of course that’s not to say they didn’t “steal” it, just saying that similarity in this kind of code is to be highly expected.
Cover crops are a good tool, but there will never be a silver bullet solution for weeds (even autonomous weeding robots). Mother nature is crafty. That said, the 'chemical' era we are currently in is over, even if no one wants to admit it

Hmm this is interesting. Makes us ponder the way in which we could just be repeating some form of climate crisis that has already been gone through by our ancestors.

I can't debate what some perceive as costly because it's an honest reaction to reading some forms of text.

In my case, all lowercase and lack of punctuation don't bother me or slow me down. (I'll agree on uncommon acronyms hindering understanding.)

To reduce some frustrations... listen to linguist McWhorter explaining that people should think of texting (or Slack) as "transcribed informal speech" -- instead of formal writing.[1]

That said, the author Mitch Lee's bio says he's a cofounder of Penny. If you are employed by him and are communicating at his company via Slack, it's better for your career if you follow his guidelines.

Idea: Replay games to detect cheating.

Create a fleet of chess programs, with typical resource constraints (CPU, RAM, time).

Have the chess programs replay recorded games.

Compare the suggested moves with the player's actual moves.

Divine some kind probability that player is cheating.

Extra credit for replaying that player's history of games thru the same fleet. Was the player consistent? Were there spikes of cheating?

Until there's a better phrase, I'll call this "parallel construction".

It'd be neat to run the fleet of chess programs during live matches.

Caveat: I know nothing about chess, so someone is probably doing "parallel construction" for cheat detection.
> for the same reason that a C program that contains no loops is still a program

HTML is not "C without loops". It is, by definition, a subset of the string type. All HTML is a string, but not all strings are HTML.

The following is valid C, but I would absolutely argue that it isn't a program:

char str[] = "Geeks";

It's a declaration, just like HTML is. It is a string that is being declared and stored.

Still, that C example is more of a program than any HTML is because it contains an instruction. It manipulates memory.

HTML is literally just a file format. It is not any more of a program than a PNG file is.

Buying in a developed city in the U.S. has historically been a different set of concerns than buying rural. One could generally assume that the environment is managed by the city and state, so that floods would not reach your home and wildfires would be stopped at the city limits; insurance was for accidents and freak events (hailstorms, quakes, electrical fires). Due to both developmental sprawl and the decay of state and federal infrastructure, one can no longer assume a home is in such a controlled environment so, buyers (and insurers!) have some lessons to learn.

A good example of the kind of change I’m talking about is development in 100-year flood plains in Houston[0]. 30 years ago, a naive home buyer would not have had to worry about it, because flood plains were off limits. What changed? Greedy developers? Ignorant planners? More population? Perhaps all of it. But now you have to be educated to make the right call.

The couple year old power9 E980, can take 64T of ram. So there are people who have problems that need lots of addressable memory today.

Even so, it wouldn't be that hard to actually build a system that could in theory try and map 4PB of storage via mmap today, its about 1/2 a rack of fairly common equipment. Given there are various companies selling 50T ssd (https://www.anandtech.com/show/11639/viking-ships-uhcsilo-ss...) its probably possible to do it in under 10U.

Similarly, I have chronic leukemia for more than 5 years. It will never go away but it is manageable, to the extend where I can live my life just like a normal person and with life expectancy of 25 more years.

The first year was hard, but I managed to live through it somehow. I deal with it by not dealing with it and forgetting about it, except when it is time for me to take my medication and the regular doctors visit every three months.

It did change me over time, especially because I am in my late twenties right now and diagnosed when I was 24, I became a lot more reckless with my decisions (I used to be a control freak) and my illusion of healthy/successful/unstoppable self was shattered.

I am not sure how I can explain more (sorry about that!), I just live by somehow and stopped worrying about it. I know that it is out there and probably will get me in the end (and probably the social security payments that I am making are just a waste :) ), but there is nothing I can do about it, except for taking my medication and visiting my doctor regularly.

No, it's just copyright infringement, it doesn't magically relicense other people's work.

In theory the publishers of Dr Mario might owe the copyright holders for GNU zip (perhaps the FSF) damages, and of course it would be possible to stop them from shipping more copies of the infringing product, Dr Mario (I doubt this is a real issue since it's an old game).

> The library system is helpful as well. In Colorado (and elsewhere, as I understand it) some libraries have seed banks, classes on pollinators and nutrition, and potentially community gardens.

I'm in Boulder county, and many offer(ed) those programs and seed banks but access to Community Gardens has always been limited here. The wait lists can be pretty long and during the pandemic and shortages people ran to local farms and bought out their CSA memberships and meat pre-sales (happening now actually for most livestock) in record timing.

California has it, too. UC Davis is quite involved in Biodynamics in the region and offers classes for winemaking using the practices. These fires have really put a strain on the local economy and programs so I'm not sure what it will look like after this, but I hope it prevails.

With that said, the results of this study are not really that surprising to me and follow my own observations: I did a Biodynamic horticulture apprenticeship in Europe and managed a Biodynamic farm in Maui.

The issue is with the subsidies that distort the prices and perverts the incentives to keep farmers dependent on such a vile system, and this is all over the Western world, and much of the East, in my experience. We should be encouraging our youth that are aware of the climate change they will face to get involved in restorative Ag and offering them low to no interest loans on land and equipment while systematically removing the subsidies for corn, soy and other non profitable crops that heavily rely on dangerous external inputs which only consolidates the Industry more in the hands of large chemical corps.

If I'm honest people should see the transition to organic/ biodynamic Ag as one of not just viable Soil Biology and ethics but also of Climate Science, Carbon sequestration from Ag can make significant in-roads in reducing the atmospheric carbon. Hemp is an incredibly amazing crop at capturing carbon from the atmosphere and building top soil, it sheds most of its foliage throughout the season and create a high canopy to reduce water requirements after 7-10 weeks after germination depending on regions and cultivar. It is a heavy feeder and will require crop rotation, but as seen with the green-rush of CBD products, these have massive Value added Market potential.

While I studied the significance of other plants throughout my apprenticeship none captured my attention as much as hemp and I mainly went to Europe as hemp was legal in the EU and many products were being made from it while it was still illegal in the US at the time (2011-2014).

With that said, I really hope COVID disrupted the paradigm we had been operating for so long and makes people look at these problems with solutions that some of us had been involved in and advocating for nearly decades now.
Assuming one is starting off by sealing pledged sectors, they would also need to re-seal any such sector upon upgrading to store actual content pursuant to some deal they have accepted.

I'm assuming there is probably not enough real storage demand yet, so large miners will end up pledging sectors a fair chunk of the time, in order to increase their power, at least while they have spare disk space remaining.

I'm a pretty serious online chess player. I'm in the top 300 players on lichess in blitz.

Anecdotally, cheating is much more common on chess.com than lichess. This may be because chess.com is bigger and more visible.

There are also other reasons to use lichess - FOSS, better, simpler interface - so I encourage everyone here to make the switch.

I get that this is true if you define desirable as “conveniently located close to natural beauty”.

But it doesn’t follow that all other areas are risky. They may just be less immediately appealing.

Indeed a lot the places that are at high risk of fire, are high end neighborhoods where relatively rich people bought because they are beautiful places to live.

If anything, I expect things to get better as people start to value less risky areas over more traditionally beautiful areas and we start to see some equilibrium.

I've spent my whole life using punctuation and full sentences when typing. Does it make me seem cold? Maybe, but it'd take more conscious effort for me to change it at this point, which sorta defeats the purpose of some commenters here claiming that it would increase communication speed, at least for me. As far as reading what others write, I really don't care, and find it sort of bizarre that anyone would.

Corn is a poor ethanol crop. Period. It should not ever be used for its ethanol purpose. There are better crops suited for that purpose but the infrastructure in the US is set up for.....corn. Humans don't eat corn (or they eat a trivial percentage). 75% of the corn grown goes to feed animals (usually cattle) or cars (via ethanol).

Yea we need to grow less corn. But we can't outlaw it. You just removed the livelihood for the Midwest. The current economic incentive structure is to grow corn (there literally is no downside). A solution that changes that has to include benefits for farmers, landowners, consumers, and society. It's not going to be easy (or cheap).

As of 2020, I find that journalists are no longer reputable, fact checkers don't check facts, and there are no ramifications when something wrong is published.

This is the default state of the world until proven otherwise and is supported by countless examples. The media is not some bastion of truth, it's just as subjective as the rest of us and has progressively gotten worse as all standards are pushed aside for the narrative.
It's easy enough to find silly examples from literally any period.

There is nothing to ban and nothing to stop. There has been disinformation since the beginning of time. It was with us even in supposedly fair and balanced eras.

It is up to each individual to find sources of information that they trust. If they pick a biased source, then so be it.

Many sources of information are springing up that are proving more trustworthy than social media and traditional media.

Educate people to be critical thinkers so that they can pick better sources of information.
Ah, I see what you're saying on the survival curve, thanks for the point out! I agree that's an interesting statistic, and it'll be interesting to see further studies investigating flame retardants. I'd be very interested in human studies, as I myself have thyroid issues (albeit more familial than anything).

That being said, I'm not sure that you can claim that hyperthyroidism in cats is an autoimmune condition. I also am interested in what the effect size of this correlation actually is. We see the data that says that cats in 1995 had 20x lower rates of hyperthyroidism, but we don't have any additional information on how many cats were actually being screened for that. It's like saying (hopefully this isn't too controversial) the prevalence of autism is higher today than it was 20 years ago.

That's an interesting question you bring up though, whether or not we should immediately intervene based on animal studies. And this is something we should probably extend to human studies, and as far low level as basic science studies. Where do you draw the line? Do you ban cell phones? Wifi? Milk? Meat? Coffee? Aspartame?

And finally - Do you require all compounds to be listed on labels of all products? Or just some? How many compounds? Only when we find correlations? Or prior to that based on empirical evidence?
Yes, but it's just a trend. Could as well have been written in React.

Joke apart, the trend to rewrite any single thing in Go/Rust is scary: why take something that is working and standard, and make it new? People have tried this hundreds of times as per hackernews history, and it's mostly not worth it.

However, it is a good training, tutorial for Go.
Ha, I had a similar thought, that what we perceive as the 'end' of our solar system, is but the end of the simulation. Why simulate a whole universe when you can just simulate one localized area, what we perceive of as the whole universe could just be 'fed' to us existing, while not really existing.

But the voyager probes too could ink out of existence, and the signals they're sending back wouldn't expand the map, they would just be hijacked by the simulation to send back whatver the devs wanted it to.
Something the author didn't mention (or maybe it's simply a specific case but I think demands explicit mention) is that it lowers the barrier of entry for new employees.

I started a new job ~2 months ago and things that everyone thinks everyone understands I simply did not. These weren't documented acronyms but rather "socially understood" acronyms that meant each time I didn't understand something I had to message someone asking.

While onboarding the amount of times I message people asking for help is so much that it gets uncomfortable (for me, at least) so minimizing the acronyms would be super helpful.

As a counter-point, though, it could be that each culture/tribe needs their own language that only they can understand and it creates this feeling of comradery? Just a thought.
The Sanders campaign was trying to address these things but was ratfucked by party insiders (who are in the pocket of the ones benefiting from all the regulatory capture) and is currently, humiliatingly, stumping for Biden.

This is awesome! GM/DM are a rare resource, and as a forever-DM, I would love using such services to be actually able to play.

One thing I think would be a cool addition : play by post games.

I'm not a native speaker and I'm always more comfortable in written games rather than spoken ones, mainly because of the highly specialized vocabulary that I don't recognize immediately when spoken. Of course, this could be roleplayed (playing an outlander character), but I bet it would quickly grow old :)

I suppose any non-native speaker would feel that way too - and then, there's the timezone problem.

One thing I know from roll20 : localized games are not the answer. There is just not many enough players outside US to properly fit each timezone with enough diversity. That's also why PbP has been what worked best for me.

Anyway, I'm glad to see this happen, best of luck!
I think really huge servers will need a different moderation system. It wouldn't be the responsibility of the Mastodon team to manage or even design that.

Also, mastodon.social has about half a million users, and they are having performance problems. I'm guessing if you want to scale that up by a factor of 10 or 100 you're going to need new infrastructure.

What you have said is a logical response to the problem.

But, unfortunately, when you are in that situation (I was), you are under a lot of pressure and making logical decisions is extremely difficult (I couldn't).
Grass based livestock farming, or grass based with corn finishing, is pretty common in high rainfall areas of the world like Ireland & New Zealand. Considerably lower intensity than feedlots (better for the environment too), easier to handle, and generally a higher quality output so long as you're around area that can process that output & send it to the right market.
