> This is way WAY too much water, especially if you're drinking anything on top of it. Shoot for 2.5 to 3.5 liters a day maximum. If you do this for any prolonged period of time, or multiple weeks in a row, you're going to have issues.

Source? Or what kind of issues? I average 5~8 l on a normal day and have been for years. The few times I've had my values checked they were mostly fine, apart from the lab being hassled by the huge sample they got for my 24h urine. Naturally I have a bit higher salt intake than most.
That closing remark of yours really hits the nail on the head, best sources are those who've lived it. Of course, the plural of anecdote is not evidence, but it's hard to argue with what works.

Get it now. Don't wait. You want to catch cancer early, as early as possible. Ideally with colon cancer you get it before things get cancerous and you can avoid major surgery and therapy afterwards. And a couple of months can be all it takes to make a difference.

As other already said, a colonoscopy isn't really bad. It deffenitly beats having cancer by an order of magnitude!
Why? See the edit in my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=user5994461 that's the single line explanation of why (and yes it's really dumb to waste 9 years on that and lose the case).
Here in the UK you just get pain relief, and are generally conscious for the procedure - though gas and air is available if it is uncomfortable.
It caused me no pain at all, was quick and easy and I'm pleased I went ahead with it.

My father found he had bowel cancer from a routine fecal occult test they were sending to all men above 65 in my area. He took some convincing to do the test, but found he had cancer and was swiftly operated on. My older brother found he had it far younger, about 52 and his was far more advanced when it was discovered, and 5 years of treatment later it won't be something they can cure. So it is pure chance my father's was caught so early and was so successful.

After speaking to my gp they agreed to start my colonoscopy cycle at 40 - with one every 5 years until I hit 55 and then likely more frequently.

I was a little nervous but it was totally fine and I feel freed that it is one worry that is if not behind me, that is controlled.

Top tip is to follow the instructions of the laxatives well and eat nothing except a broth or miso soup, and it will be far easier on your gut.
I think local anesthesia does not lead to these effects (as far as we know), I also would be surprised if it does. One thing I remember when you also use N20 (laughing gas) you should either check or just take vitamin B supplements (it seems to deplete your vitamin B storages)
Sorry, but curiosity forces me to ask.

How did you remain alive on a 60 day fast? I've never heard of that aside from maybe gurus in India or something.
Even if you (for some reason) wanted bite sized content that fits into the time you wait for the bus, you couldn't do that with Quibi, because your bus doesn't arrive in exactly 6 minutes 30 seconds (or whatever). You still have to pause.
I could be wrong; I had originally started using "external-secrets" then I believe found about "secret-manager" from the Godaddy repository.

I've used both solutions, and ultimately, I think itscontained/secret-manager is better than external-secrets.

Their doc was re-jiggled a few days ago and I agree its made it look like it's inexistant. There's not a _ton_ of it, but it's there[0][1]

I was mistaken when I said "secret-manager supplanted external-secrets". It's a Golang rewrite from a user.
It would be worse to do it quick, fuck up and make Google even stronger via regulatory capture or something similar.

There would probably be more actually good adnetworks without Google Ads. No need to sign up with each search frontend or site.

Today other adnetworks mostly serve sites that are shady, controversial or too small for Adsense since they can't compete.
Its such a weird thing. After a while, you begin to wonder if you just learned to work around it. I too bad a similar experience, just s/snowboad/motorcycle/.
But that's just wrong. There are a lot of reasons for those input delays that have absolutely nothing to do with the kernel. A bloated Electron app will not suddenly be blazing fast just because it runs on a real-time kernel. The true issues with the modern software stack lie in userspace.

Anyone want to take bets that Google would eventually try to deprecate whatever API peertube needs because of some plausibly true "security reason" in the next few years?
Yes but you're exceptionally rare, and might discover you're wrong about your preferences if someone were to take the big gamble of building such a service. Also the whole era of passenger rail may have been killed off by lockdowns.

Train services are basically always hugely subsidised by governments. They could not survive against cars, buses and trucks if they weren't. The subsidies in Switzerland are eye-wateringly high for example. It's effectively a form of government planning designed to boost city/worker density as governments and others believe offices full of workers yields large benefits, and trains are the highest density/capacity form of passenger transport by far. So if you want ultra-dense urban cores you need a lot of trains.

But do we actually need those? Governments sure haven't acted like it this year. Now big corps are eyeing their expensive city centre HQs and wondering if the real estate is worth it, the workers are seeing how much they save when they aren't being forced to pay for the very expensive rail tickets, the managers are seeing that many (but not all) workers are happier without the time sucking, cattle-car commutes ... and governments are basically having to give up on the fiction that rail companies were private in order to keep them from going completely bust. But how long can that be sustained, if travel patterns have been permanently altered? No dense urban cores = few commuters paying business rates for rush hour travel = even worse economics for trains.

Since I don't have any problems writing, I would be interested if there was some sort of system that was multi-modal in its working, or that maybe I could turn on dictation based coding with some specific rules for what I am doing at the moment.

For example if I am reading some code and I see

const updatedSortFields = Object.values(options).map(({ value: id, label }) => ({ id, label }));

If I could then say "format line 130 multilines" and it would turn it into something nicely indented over multiple lines.
This is so heart warming.

Thanks to Debian and wow - Framasoft (who I'd never heard of) has a page that is so on point!! Amazing.

Someone doing something to stop the book burning (comment deletion in the billions) and censorship at youtube.

I wish there was more of this.
got an MCAD once because my employer was offering it for free. This was so they could secure a "partner" status and get a license discount.

Same here, but MCSE used to come with all sorts of goodies like a free TechNet subscription. That ceased long ago however.

A challenge for the affected user, not for the platform itself.
What I found is that Python is not that terrible (interpreter starts in 60ms on my laptop and imports an empty local file: `touch empty.py; time python3 -c 'import empty'`).

However, idiomatic Python shortcuts to expose everything at the top level (star imports or imports of everything in the top-level __init__.py) cause everything to be imported everywhere. __all__ is all but forgotten, so importing things like flask, sqlalchemy, requests and similar will take anywhere from 100-500ms each, even if you just need a single function from a submodule.

Worst offenders are things which embed their own copy of requests (likely for reproducible builds) taking upwards of 800ms just to import even if your project already imported requests directly.

I don't think it has anything to do with search paths, but simply with loading and executing hundreds of files. If you need those modules, Python will read them. Perhaps moving your venv to a "ramdisk" might help?
I'm in the UK and I had a good level of sedation for mine. I wasn't even asked, just told that was standard.

I wasn't knocked out but I might as well have been as I didn't feel any pain and kept kind of drifting off half to sleep. It was completely fine and I'd not worry at all about getting it done again.
Lots of people saying they will only use an open source password manager - fair enough, that's your prerogative. But I think it's unfair if everyone just complains that this isn't open source. First people complained that 1Password wasn't on Linux. Then they made a browser extension that works on Linux, and people complained it wasn't native. Then they make a native application, and people complain that it's not open source. That's not their business model, that was never on the table. But it's worth celebrating when Linux is gaining support, even from proprietary companies. It's good that Steam supports Linux even when FreeCiv exists. It's good that Unity supports Linux even when Godot exists. Let's give 1Password some credit for supporting Linux - thanks guys!

Apple has a search engine? So they basically scrape the web themselves and serve the results via Spotlight & Siri, it just lacks a web frontend? Is there any additional information on that? I haven't heard of a Apple crawler user agent yet, but I could've just missed that. I always thought they'd be using Bing or DDG for that data. If Apple wanted to go into the search engine business, I'd have expected them to just aquire DDG, tbh.

There were rural regions in Sweden with no deaths and where the economy was essentially uninterrupted. The urban regions, however, were already in the "exponential wall" when covid became a news story.

The difference with Norway, Denmark and Finland is that their urban regions did not have early outbreaks.

article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7507405/

some quotes:

"Consider for example, the arrangement of iron filings sprinkled over a magnet. A conventional computer could calculate their configuration by inputting the initial random configurations of the filings into an algorithm that implements either Maxwell’s equations or the equations of quantum electrodynamics to output their final equilibrium configuration. Yet the EM field at each point in space, generated by the electron spin of iron atoms within the magnet, instantly computes this solution. In this sense, the field represents an algorithm in space, rather than the algorithms in time that are implemented by Turing machines. And, most importantly, the information involved in the computation is simultaneously available in the space of the magnet and its surroundings. It is spatially, rather than temporarily, integrated information. The EM field’s information is complex information that is physically bound."

...

"I previously proposed that ‘Nearly all qualia—the sound of C minor, the meaning of the number seven, the image of a triangle, the concept of a motor car, the feeling of anger, etc.—are similarly complex … conscious states [that] integrate parallel information streams to form a model that is both complex and physically unified within the cemi field.' That is, the qualia associated with hearing the musical note middle C is what an a EM field perturbation in the brain that correlates with the sensory input of middle C feels like, from the inside."
If there is one thing that irritates me about modern day computing then it is that it is in many ways slower (in spite of having 100 times the clock speed of a machine from the early 90's) than the box I had on my desk back then

This irritates me as well, but blaming it on the kernel strikes me as absurd. Blame it on all the layers of abstraction and general lack of caring in applications instead.

It's true that there are cases where the Linux scheduler gets in the way of a good desktop experience, but desktop latency is too high even when the scheduler isn't a bottleneck. And if anything, good scheduling gets harder in a microkernel, not easier, because you have less insight into what is going on at a system level. (Ultimately, the distinction simply shouldn't matter though -- not for desktop experiences, that is.)

The auction is performed in the browser? No wonder the web feels pokey these days.

DNI Ratcliffe Says Iran Sent Menacing Emails Claiming to Be from Proud Boys
I was offered anesthesia for the endoscopy as well and I was glad I refused. The whole thing was over in 10 minutes, the actual endoscopy was about 2 minutes of serious discomfort. I gagged a couple time, the rest of the time I held steady, but the nurses also complimented me for powering through so I don't think it's expected to be easy. It was a weird and humbling experience.

If you feel like you're relaxed enough to be calm when someone does something to you that your body will tell you is going to kill you, then it's not so bad. They sedate your throat to kill the gag reflex, but it doesn't work 100%.

The upside for me was that it was over so quickly, and I could go on with my day, was allowed to drive, etc.

In some countries, high speed trains don't allow standing passengers.

I was caught out with this when I visited Toledo from Madrid. I bought a ticket for the next train to Toledo from a machine, which was fine. When I tried to return, there were no available tickets for several hours. I took a bus instead.

A seat reservation is also compulsory on the TGV in France, but not the ICE in Germany.
It is trivial in Python to move towards a lazier way to load modules on first use, it's just not idiomatic or too readable (thus we do top-level imports).

This isn't as true as you think it is.

Social security is often a lot, lot better in the US than Europe. Take the UK:

UK unemployment 'benefits' are around $100/week regardless of previous salary (so low compared to housing costs in many areas that it is almost pointless). US state unemployment benefits tend to be a lot higher than that.

UK pensions are low - around $10,000/yr, again regardless of salary. US Social Security pensions are vastly higher.
Exploratory engineering does put firm limits on future capabilities. There are many possible steam engine designs, and I'm sure those we use today were unimagined in the 1820's. Yet none are more efficient than an ideal Carnot steam engine. The same principle applies here.

There's tons of routes in the US that could make sense if there wasn't so much NIMBYism, corruption and the oil and auto lobby, let's be honest.

SF-Sacramento, SF-LA, LA-San Diego, LA-Vegas, Seattle-Portland, the whole Northeast Corridor (a better truly high speed Acela), Houston-Dallas, Orlando-Miami, Pittsburg-DC and and and. There's lots of large cities in the US in the high speed rail sweetspot of 400-800 miles (2-4h travel time) apart
10,000 euros isn't a lot of money. I'm going to interpret the enthusiastic upvoting of this post as being more about what it implies when steady and serious collectives like the Debian project start signalling that something is important. There needs to be better software infrastructure and it needs to be open source (and, indeed, free).

It is hard not to like Debian. It is wonderful to see that focused, principled, good-for-everyone organisations can still carry on even in 2020. Maybe not everyone believes in freedom but Debian has standards.
I hate these types of certifications if only for the fact that I get asked by people outside the development community if getting the cert will help them enter the community and get a job.

I always have to give them a deflationary speech about how software development is about the practice and not a one-time certification.

It can be hard at start. Then it becomes absolutely hilarious in the way one can break things.

Custom designs are insanely more powerful than the builtin ones. Either design a fission plant with super high temp cooler side (to keep your radiators small) and then go full laser star or make sandblaster railguns. 1g nuggets of stuff blasted as fast as possible with ridiculous rate of fire simply ablate through any armor anyone can design.

Or just design a gun that shoots guns that shoots guns that shoots guns that shoot nukes.

The time when they didn't consider the pressure of tritium inside a nuke was hilarious. One could design a basic implosion nuke -> fill it with absolutely insane amount of tritium and make a few tens of kilos weighing 10 gigaton nuke or whatnot. And then just watch the fireworks.

I really love that game. The shenanigans one can pull off.
