The control group wasn't assigned to do their regular level of exercise, but rather to follow an exercise routine based on the Norwegian government's existing recommendations. The authors expected a 10% 5 year mortality rate based on population-wide estimates, and their control group had a 4.7% 5 year mortality rate.

Shouldn't the user get to decide whether an app gets access to the contacts API? I should not have to trust that apple is right in saying whether I want an app to have that access.
Stop making excuses for scum. It's time we held people like Bannon to account for what they say. Hyperbole has no place in public political discourse. When you say something make sure you mean it. We only need one spark to cause a civil war. This isn't funny.
That might raise some antitrust concerns. Microsoft is already a strong contender the in the development tool space and there's not that much competition left.

Or maybe JetBrains is just not available for them. There can be something going on between JetBrains and Google considering Google decided to partner with them on the Android development tools.

Or maybe Microsoft feels they are doing well enough with their current tools. You can't really fit the JetBrains nicely to the "big picture". Microsoft needs VScode, because they want IDE running inside browser. They also need the big old Visual Studio. JetBrains tools could not replace anything, but they would be a third pillar.

> The biggest need for a package manager and its ecosystem is continuity: the stance that new features and paradigms will be gradually shifted toward — without package-ecosystem incompatibilities, without CLI commands just disappearing (but instead, with long deprecation timelines), etc.

I disagree. I used to think that that's the problem, but having seen a few more cycles of it, the problem isn't that kind of commitment - after all, the whole python ecosystem enthusiastically jumps into the new thing, and Python people are used to relatively short deprecation cycles. The problems are the actual problems; every Python package manager is just embarrassingly awfully bad as soon as you try to use it for 5 minutes, presumably because they're developed by Python people who've never used a decent package manager and so think that no-one could ever need deterministic dependency resolution, once you've pinned a transitive dependency there surely wouldn't be any reason to ever want to unpin it, having the package manager coupled to the language version is absolutely fine, no-one could ever want a standard way to run tests ...

You should look at how the lockdowns worked in Vietnam.

They essentially had a very strict lockdown for 3 weeks in March I think, and then they have only had targeted quarantines. The vast majority of the country is working normally, much more so than anywhere in Europe or the Americas.

Similar measures could have been taken everywhere else, and we would have been long over this, and with minimal deaths. Instead, we are where we are. We still have the option of doing a 3 week heavy lockdown that could probably reset the clock on the virus, with direct government payments for every person affected to reduce the economic hardship. There is no better known solution to this problem, until the vaccine proves to be efficient.

True. The Mac had its best quarter ever, which should be a good setup for the transition to M1.
States can't change their rules for certification of electors without a governor's signature. If a state tried to pull some nonsense like changing the selection of electors away from the process as encoded in law before Nov. 3, that'd be new law and (a) would require a governor's signature or a veto-proof majority and (b) may actually be ex-post-facto if the current law is structured such that it declares how electors related to the votes cast on Nov. 3, so could be stopped by state courts.

The fantasy that Republican state legislatures could steal the ability of the people of their state to choose the President is just that: fantasy.

I cannot share the code we use directly but we use Object.defineProperty and override the getter and setter for it, tunneling the new setted value through a behavior subject that gets returned. The getter returns the value by synchronous access to the subject.

Inputs into makeObservable are the component class (this) and the requested property name (generics with keyof).
We need money being able to be transfered to the once doing open source. Still many of them hack voluntarily and out of pure altruism.

What did you move your phone to, when you degoogled your life?

Apple iphones seems even worse than Android, honestly.
Firstly - this is a false equivalence.

Sure a government agency may be forcing Apple or MS to help them spy on you, just as they could have compromised whatever else you are using.

But when you download software from at least the Apple App Store, you are in fact protected from many kinds of harmful software.

Let’s not lie and pretend that isn’t a real benefit to many people, even though there are serious downsides to it.

But even if you were right about the equivalence - what’s the point in the handwringing?

There is no way out unless we build our way out.

Shaking your fist at the man just isn’t going to do anything.

The reason there is no alternative is that we haven’t solved the problems yet. People are in fact trying.

Nothing you can say about Microsoft or Apple will make an alternative appear.
You can buy the XPS13 Developer Edition. The XPS15 doesn’t come preinstalled with Linux (although it apparently works well and is well supported).

> I still do not see how they can role out charging infrastructure in just 15 years. Not everyone lives in a house.

We rolled out gas stations faster than that. Gas stations went from something you had to worry about on long trips in 1975 to every corner convenience store by 1990.

And charging stations have none of the downside of gas stations (toxic leakage, theft, licensing, etc.). You can install charging stations at very small shops without worry.

I'm personally surprised that Target and Lowe's haven't rolled out charging stations in their parking lots. Once that happens, it's pretty much game over as everybody will have to roll out parking lot charging or lose business.

The only relevant math I need is that humans have done fine with animal fats for thousands of years. The value I need is what I can get naturally.

And BTW, I have dark skin, I live in one of the Northest parts of the world humans live, haven't taken vitamin D supplements in years and my vitamin D levels have been great (upper middle of whatever acceptable range they use) when I got tested several times over the past years. I don't even care anymore. I will continue to eat what humans are supposed to eat and I'll be fine.

Even if your numbers are not good, you should not be eating these chemicals in isolation. We don't need nutrients, we need food.

Nutrient-nutrient interaction is very difficult to study, but it has been found to be crucial every time they've managed to do it.
The point still needs to be made, since there are _still_ people who honestly believe that weight loss is achieved by some mechanism other than consuming less calories than is expended. They still think there is some other form of "magic" involved. So to digress the discussion onto behaviours, etc. is a distraction from the fundamental fact that needs to be hammered home until it becomes ingrained. At that point we can work on the behaviours required to achieve that end. Otherwise you have what you have now, people changing behaviours and trying to eat healthy, or exercise more, thinking that those behaviours are the magic secret to weight loss. It is not, and you can lose weight eating McDonalds and sitting at your desk all day if the amount of calories in the McDonalds you're eating is low enough. It's not healthy, but healthy/not healthy has nothing to do with calorie restriction and consequently weight loss.

For one bit of software I'm writing expected to be 'network robust', there is actually a test case that, in any network state, from any screen in the app, any button can be clicked, and the resulting screen must be the same as if there were network connectivity, within 100ms.

The 'network states' are online, offline, all packets dropped, and various simulated network connections.

This is achieved by preloading the next click everywhere.

If you have a CM infrastructure set up, you're not gaining much. Tools like repmgr/barman (in public cloud you probably would use WAL-E/WAL-G) provide nearly all of the benefits.

PostgreSQL is generally low maintenance, the only cases when this might not be true is when you're hitting performance bottlenecks and need to tune your database, optimize your tables, or use bigger instance etc, but RDS doesn't save you from that.
I'm so glad I caught onto RMS and Eben Moglen when I did. I saw this coming a long way off, and have spent a lot of my time completely gpl'ing my daily use stack. There are a few rare exceptions (steam being the largest one)... but I'm happy I put in the effort.

What we are headed for is a world where a certain subset of people with the technical knowledge have computing freedom, and that vast majority giving up all kinds of rights and data for convienience. A techno-caste system underneath the neo-feudal system that is incoming.
That's the problem with some languages - they lack a visionary, that drives the overall understanding of how things should be structured.

I believe it's Guido that basically said - if you don't like how Python does it, then implement it in C. And that's how you end up with great C based libraries bound to python... and python is often used as a messy orchestrating language.
You are comparing the specs sheets while I am looking at practical situations.

For the same use cases Linux feels (and is) way more performant and responsive even on a less powerful hardware, and I'm not even talking about Docker.

The MBP keyboard is probably the worse on the market and any lower-end laptop keyboard is more comfortable to use. And nowadays it is not even a complete keyboard since it lack many standard physical keys.

The number of ports is extremely limited and you cannot connect anything without an adapter.

The computer gets hot very easily, and when it does, the keyboard gets extremely hot as well. It is also very noisy compared to any other laptop.

The glossy screen may look cool in a shop but it is very unpractical and uncomfortable.

I do not have any of those problems with my X1, I even have the best keyboard I could hope for a laptop, along with actual features like the Trackpoint, physical camera shutter or the PrivacyGuard.

Is it? Are you sure you know what a strawman is? I'm literally using your own words. You didn't say anything about people inciting violence on TwitFace in your comment.

If I ran those companies, I'd ban anyone inciting violence. But it's their platform. They can choose who to ban and who to keep. And we can choose to criticize them. In that way, everyone's freedoms are preserved.

This might be a good explanation why my Philips 55POS9002 oled tv can no longer stream 4K with Netflix/Prime/YouTube. A Widevine certificate was revoked for some Philips TVs. Maybe the RSA key was leaked in the Philips firmware.
I hear goals of 100-150$/kwh (not retail) as being already reached by Tesla and Chinese automakers. However the cheapest retail LiFePO4 build for energy storage (done by individuals after importing the lifepo4 cells from China and assembling all the items) is barely touching 300$/kwh.

I suspect there is a demand supply mismatch with demand far outstripping supply and not enough overproduction for retail discounts.

I don't think this is true. First constitutions after tyranny tend to have fatal flaws, sometimes costing democracy itself.

You write better constitution when you learn from other constitutions and have experience with that.
Non-partisan? I mean, they are controlled by the elected government, who appoint people to do what they want. With the exception of elected sheriff's in the US, I wouldn't say it's less partisan. Take a look at what's going on in Alberta with the new Conservative gov't. Plenty of "non-partisan" government agencies are raising hell over the new policy direction.

Look, you obtuse jackass, since you seem to be so concerned with the actual words that were said, let's put them right out here and break them down.

> Bannon: "Second term kicks off with firing Wray, firing Fauci. Now I actually want to go a step farther, but I realize the president is a kind-hearted man and a good man. I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I’d put the heads on pikes, right, I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program or you’re gone – time to stop playing games. Blow it all up, put Ric Grenell today as the interim head of the FBI, that’ll light them up, right."

> Maxey: "You know what, Steve, just yesterday there was the anniversary of the hanging of two Tories in Philadelphia, these were Quaker businessmen who had cohabitated, if you will, with the British while they were occupying Philadelphia. These people were hung. This is what we used to do to traitors."

> Bannon: "That’s how you won the revolution. No one wants to talk about it. The [American] revolution wasn’t some sort of garden party, right? It was a civil war. It was a civil war."

This is clearly WAY beyond offhandedly using the phrase "heads on pikes" as a colloquialism, and veers into discussing the necessity and morality of executing political opponents.

Point 1: Firing isn't good enough. They are traitors and need to be punished with death.

Point 2: Clear evidence of their execution needs to be on display to intimidate everyone else into falling in line.

Point 3: These executions are justified when carried out on people who are seen as traitors in the midst of a war.

So when you come in here trying to whitewash everything as if the big bad fake news media put words into Bannon's mouth, well, you can fuck right off.

Wow. Thanks for that link.
You need a laptop with verified compatible hardware.

I run an IdeaPad p400 with Ubuntu 20.04. Everything just works. Had a sager and a System76 that worked without issues, too.

Sometimes, it's the hardware that's the problem. Had a Dell and an HP for work that were so bad with Ubuntu that I had to give them up entirely for Linux machines.

Honestly, my next laptop is going to be a System76, top of the line model. If it can last as long as my Lenovo (2010, I think), it will be money well spent.

Perhaps you’re eating some food that has been supplemented with vitamin D. For example, one cup of milk fortified with vitamin D might have 100 UI (as much as six steaks).
Android handles this reasonably well. I can use F-Droid reproducible builds where possible and fall back to Play Store (or Amazon App Store) apps for apps I don't care that Google (or Amazon) knows I'm running. I get to choose where I want to make the trade-off between privacy and convenience. If I want convenience, it lets me go further than any Apple product, and if I want privacy, it also lets me go further than any Apple product in that direction also.

Well the alternative can't rely on unpaid workforce while Apple/Microsoft and co spend billions on their software, GUI and user experience. It is simple economics. Open source needs financing, not just free Github repositories that MS/Apple and co can then exploit for free because the code is licensed as MIT.
