Almost every single item on Amazon and everywhere else is 4.5 stars. No matter how terrible. I can see one star after one star helpful review but it will still be 4.5 stars for items that just fall apart and are obviously defective. The sellers just game the reviews until they get to that magic 4.5.

Goodhart's Law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”

Luckily Amazon will take back anything and they are eating massive return costs from me for not having working, non-gamed reviews.
Some of the criticism has been unmerited, but no more than expected. That doesn’t invalidate the valid, merited criticism though, of which there is much.

But what makes carrots "healthy food"? Is it that it has some vitamins and few calories? Does that mean that a multivitamin pill combined with a piece of plastic is the ultimate healthy food? It has vitamins and basically zero calories, because you can't actually eat the plastic.

On another note, 6700 kcal is a once in a while type event. Calorie calculators put the calories needed at 6700 kcal at excess of 450 kg (1000 lbs). That's more than the record weight of a person. 6700 kcal is still 2.5 kg of Big Macs.

Also, carrots just aren't great as food. They're more like flavorings. You would definitely have a brought deficiency on a carrot diet, whereas it's less so on a Big Mac diet.

The thing is that our bodies need a wide range of materials to function well. We can function even when our diets aren't great, but there will usually be some small problems. I don't understand why food that's actually poor as a food is considered healthy.
Re: fat shaming, this is horribly misunderstood by people who have never struggled with obesity.

When you are obese, you are fat shamed by yourself, every day of your life, every time you look in the mirror and what you see doesn’t reflect who you think you are. There is an incredible amount of societal baggage in being fat - the stereotype is that fat people are lazy, stupid, and incompetent. I know better, but even I have to catch myself to avoid unfair bias against fat people (e.g. in hiring decisions) - and I know the stereotype is bullshit because I myself used to be morbidly obese.

Fat acceptance is bullshit, being fat is unhealthy. And because so many people are fat, many folks don’t even know what a healthy weight looks like. I’m not advocating for fat is good or fat is beautiful thinking, because that is counterproductive.

But fat shaming is far worse than saying nothing. Binge eating/food addiction is driven by cycles of shame and hating yourself for being fat is a big part of that. I couldn’t have lost 120+ lbs without first getting over shame and embarrassment.

In my first-hand experience with obesity fat-shaming is a great way to push people harder into a shame->self hate->binge eating-> shame-> self hate cycle, which just makes things worth.

This is clearly a societal problem, we shouldn’t shame people for succumbing to it, but instead work to help people recover.

P.S. it is sometimes hard for naturally skinny people to empathize with obesity. Obesity makes all of the steps to lose weight harder - exercise, nonstop hunger (due to broken hormone regulation). Struggling with dieting long term causes metabolism slowdown which makes the problem harder. I gain weight on 1300 calories, and that’s with an active lifestyle with 16.000 steps of walking daily. American culture at least makes it really difficult to participate in society and stay under 1300 cal/day. I imagine it’s even worse if you’re not a 6ft male.
If it wasn't for the social movement, it might be the computer (and those who make the computer work) the one using you.

Sure, but those are general language features that you'd want to have for many other reasons anyway. You don't need any option/result-specific language features.
I think your analogy is 180 degrees out of phase. The obvious difference is that the government works for us, and our CEO doesn’t. That’s why they agreed to part with a mutually agreeable sum of their cash - something they do not have to do. If one party fails in their obligations to make this transaction mutually beneficial, the rational counterparty will sever the relationship.

And yes, we fire the government all the time. We pay them, and if we don’t like their performance, they’re out. If they start publicly trashing us, they’re out even faster. This is why mayors have to appear meek and apologetic, instead of calling the voters a bunch of fools. Like when half of the population felt like Hillary called them a basket of deplorables, for example. Not many want to hire that person.
Depends how long you run it and on what speed. I seem to remember we were working on the basis of changing it every three months if we ran it continuously during that time
No, that’s not a fallacy. Your rebuttal is a bit of a fallacy because it talks about what is a “good” thing. I am not talking about good and evil or right and wrong. I am talking amorally about cause and effect in complex systems. Making an analogy to slavery to illustrate a moral wrong isn’t responsive to that point.

Different systems produce different results. It tends to be the case that when you drastically alter the fundamental properties of a system, you won’t get the same results - because it isn’t the same system.

If you want a system where a company is not the property of its shareholders, and you fail to observe that all current implementations of that idea have never demonstrated a single instance of producing Google-like companies since the industrial revolution, your ideas are not going to be very robust.

If you don’t want that, sure, this is a perfectly valid position. But you are not to be taken seriously if you make these claims while earning 7 figures at Google. You haven’t even demonstrated that your ideas are viable to you, let alone all of society.

And since the principles of capitalism apparently quite unironically elude you, yes, they expect their own bank account to be padded more than yours (as it must, game theory prevents the transaction otherwise), which is why they fired her.

And the conditions that make Google better for them were not created exclusively by employees and especially not by employees who didn’t share the mission. Nor were they created and sustained without leadership. Nor were they created without venture capital. If you cherry pick certain properties of Google and expect to be reproduce those results, you aren’t making payroll. It is only through the right balance of incentives that such a system can function at all.

I believe your metabolism responds differently. The sugar signals your body that you've eaten a rich calorie source but fat is lacking, please save this as fat for later. If you had eaten a meal with more fiber and fat, it signals to your body that fatty meals are available now, you can use some for energy, no need to create more storage.

Am I confused about something? How is everybody not absolutely running around frantically ripping ethernet cables out of patch panels right now in every single one of these companies?

I mean...the smart controllers on the HVAC systems in these companies have to be replaced don't they? The smart locks, everything IoT, everything with a network interface in it at this point has to be assumed compromised. This seems like by far the worst cyber security incident of all time.
My point is that Option::ok_or and Option::map aren't language features, they're just plain old functions written in the language; if they weren't there you could implement them yourself. You need some language features to implement them (e.g. you can't implement map without first-class functions), but those are general-purpose language features that you'd want to have anyway.
You miss the point, mostly.

The update made a major change in the way the user interface worked. With the new user interface I found I could not easily access my programmes without spending a non trivial amount of time learning it, and there was no way back to the old interface, options fro running both etcetera. Ubunti was tremendously stable for a long time at that point, and I upgraded without hesitation. Not since!

As you say the interface was buggy. Dreadfully buggy. It leaked memory badly, was clunky and slow.

When I complained on my local Linux users mailing list (as did another member who had the same experience) the Ubuntu developers I knew personally took it as a personal affront.

Since I had not paid for it, how dare I complain.

They have a point. I do not use Ubuntu any more.

Ask HN: Recommended resources for finding and proving startup PMF?

Any resources on proving whether a potential business model has a market for it and furthermore proving it, would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
I'm offering the book as a resource because I think it might be helpful or interesting to you and other people with similar thoughts. It discusses many things you have mentioned. There's only so much depth one can put in a comment, but some of my favorite books are ones I found metioned in passing here. You can take it or leave it.

I'm really not sure what the "mainsteam science of food" is. Studies linking food to health outcomes are notoroiously low quality, and there isn't strong consensus on most things, other than basic stuff like "eat more vegetables." And it wasn't that long ago that the USDA was saying "eat more grains, less veggies." If you think it is simple I would suggest you read a larger variety of sources. Human health is a very complex subject and there is a lot we still don't know.

I would rather we teach people how to help themselves, rather than teaching them ways to trick themselves. It's hard to trick yourself for long periods of time, especially when you are up against biological imperatives. People who's strategies don't rely on tricks are more successful.

> Lard is definitely healthier than processed oils, e.g. vegetable oil in the supermarket.

but from the linked article...

---

For everyone else, choose liquid oil high in monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil or organic, non-GMO canola oil, which are trendy now and healthy, says Lindzon, even for baking your next birthday cake. “The bottom line is change your grandmother’s recipes that call for butter and lard,” she says.

by 'vegetable oils', do you mean processed oils like margerine and shortening?
Surely you should only be testing against major releases: that is, only the most-recent point release for each major release. So, for example, Big Sur is at 11.1, so test against 11.1 but not 11.0. No user should be running 11.0 any more, as it has unpatched exploits.

Similarly, every Catalina machine should be running 10.15.7 + the Supplemental Update from a couple of days ago, and every Mojave machine 10.14.6 + the relevant security updates.

Now, users or administrators may have valid reasons to sit on a point release for a few days, for example to schedule it when it's less disruptive, or to wait to see whether there it has caused problems as a recent Mojave one did. (But not for much longer, because the act of releasing an update gives black hats something to look at, and Apple themselves usually publish details of the exploits a couple of days after the release that closes them, to give people time to update.) The thing is, they are also not going to install your new software in that window either; almost the only people running your software on other than the latest point release are people who already installed an older version of it, that you tested when that point release was current. Most normal people will either let your app and the OS auto-update on their own schedule, or manually update both at the same time.

This all reduces the problem to having available copies of the last few major versions. You can't go back all that many versions because Apple's Xcode development suite stops supporting them, and you don't want to because the APIs change.

It's a very different philosophy from the Windows "test against everything", but it's self-consistent, and is not unique to Apple operating systems.

1. Yes, if you got fat, you consumed more calories than you used up. The solution will require getting closer to balance.

2. The actionable way to achieve that is non-trivial. Different foods with same amount of calories have different physiological effects, including which hormones are produced with what timings and what neural circuitry is activated. This leads to different degrees of psychological fullness, cravings and potential for addiction. They may also promote more laziness or more fidgety behavior which itself can make more difference than often imagined. Moving your hands around, rocking your legs, standing up more often etc.,being more "restless" feeling the need to "get it out of your system" by going for a walk vs feeling like a slob.

CICO and thermodynamics are true as an observation but aren't actionable long term advice. You can lose weight on just eating small amount of crappy pizza, but you'll feel like crap and will have more cravings than eating food with more volume, and various other properties. Even the crunchiness of a food has effects in the brain. CICO is too reductionist as advice.
In a past job i tried hard to replace an Access database file with sqlite for a c++ desktop application. One big win from sqlite was on the testing front. You can just open an in-memory sqlite database and test against that without worrying about disk state, or state leaking between test runs.

To drive parent's point home a bit, I skimmed both examples above when reading and without looking again I am very certain that the map example does not have any weird iteration semantics (eg "stop filling the first time a zero is encountered"), but I'm not sure that the for loop example is similarly 'normal' -- I'd have to check the condition again more carefully.
The specific unsafe condition I am worried about is that the power management electronics lack any sort of fault protection, and this ends up causing a shock, burn, or fire.

When I was a kid, eating at McDonald's was considered to be like going to a restaurant. A moderately fancy one at that. The limiting factor was cost.

It's not the case anymore. While McDonald's is still certainly more expensive than food people regularly eat, but the gap seems to be closing. People just aren't satisfied with eating basically potatoes and sometimes some meat. They make fancier meals, but this increases cost. At some point the cost isn't all that different from what fast food charges.

This is somewhat routine actually. Microsoft, and most other major tech companies, have been “hacked” many times.

Note that being hacked isn’t a binary state. What matters is what they were able to obtain. It could range from full compromise of the C-suite and domain admin, to phishing some marketing employee with no access to anything interesting. If anything, you should be afraid of companies who haven’t been hacked. It most likely means they’re either irrelevant, or they have been hacked and don’t know it yet.

This isn’t even the first time they’ve been hacked by Russians. It’s honestly not a big deal.

It's odd. The crux of this post seems to be about not allowing new commiters to do many of the tricks that got the code to where it is.

Which is fair, but also muddies a point. That being that many will just point out how they shouldn't have done all of those tricks. Many actually sound like a straw man. Laughably so. But they got them to where they are.
