CA's central valley produces fruits, vegetables, and nuts, much of which gets exported, and a bit of, but not a huge amount of staple foods - and if you add up all California's agricultural output, it is still only ~13.5% of the US total.
[https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/Statistics/#:~:text=California's%20a....]

The areas in California that produce that food are solid red, through and through. Texas is red, ESPECIALLY the areas that produce that oil - but let's set aside the intra-state conflicts on this. None of the states mentioned are 'ideologically' self sufficient in their needs (CA for Oil, despite being a major food and oil producer, Texas for food - among literally millions of major and minor needs), and NY State or NYC are most decisively not in either category.

[https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/gallery...]

If you look at your own chart, you'll also see that ~90% of all of the remaining entries following California (who make up the bulk of production) would be called midwest, near midwest (definitely not blue), or 'flyover territory'.

If you go to the link you had and filter by staples (as compared to expensive-per-calorie foods like almonds or strawberries), you'll see this reflected even more strongly [https://data.ers.usda.gov/reports.aspx?ID=17844#P7521943176f...]

California has a LOT of people in it. 11% of the nation. While they might not personally feel the brunt of a major famine right away - running out of fuel for the harvesters, or the steel products to repair their equipment, or the equipment itself (predominantly produced in 'red' areas or imported), would mean it wouldn't be that long either.

If we look at the wider context, losing 50%+ of the agricultural products aka inland 'flyover' areas and the midwest would definitely cause catastrophic famine. And that is at least how much is there from your own links.
I visited a couple years back. Did a week long drive through wales. It was absolutely gorgeous.

I've been lucky enough to have been on a few holidays in both Scotland and Ireland for a few weeks at a time (I'm Canadian, but I lived in England for a just under a year). I found the people in Whales to be considerably less friendly than anywhere else in the British isles. To a point where I walked into a pub in a small town and people switched from speaking English to Welsh. I plan to return to Ireland and Scotland, but based on my experience with the Welsh, have no real desire to revisit Wales.
This is because of how f-strings were initially implemented: I piggy-backed them off of "regular" strings, then post-parsed inside that string. But the restriction is that the entire f-string (after the f) needs to be a valid regular Python string.

Since this:

"this is a "regular" string"

isn't valid, then neither is this:

f"dict lookup: {d["key"]}"

However, we've talked about changing f-string parsing from a "post-process regular strings" mode, to instead having the tokenizer and parser themselves aware of f-strings. When we do that, the f-string example above will work.

I’m on board provided you automatically text-replace stuff like “your right to swing your fist ends where...”, “fire in a crowded theater”, “private companies can do what they want”, “free speech isn’t absolute”, etc with hilarious statements that make the commenter look foolish.
A better example is that equal time is frequently given to both sides of the climate change debate despite the actually numbers showing that calling it a "debate" is journalistic laziness. Equal credence would mean the deniers only get about 3% of the allotted time to make their crackpot case, because that's the closest they come to being a "side" in this non-debate against the other 93% that also have 100% of the data and research.
I'm interested in seeing if there are benefits to nutrient-dense and microbiome-boosting vegetables from these types of grow operations. So much has been sacrificed upon the goal of transport-sturdy vegetables, I have to wonder if taste was not the only factor we lost over the decades.

I was hoping it was going to be an actual created a web browser, rather than another Chromium or Webkit derivative.
I had all sorts of cameras, but the Sony RX100 was my trustiest companion. When it broke after many years, I realised how much of a pain transferring, processing and sorting photos was, and never replaced it. Now I only use my smartphone, a Pixel 5.

I usually travel by motorcycle, so weight comes at a premium. I won't fish a bulky SLR out of my pannier every time I see a pretty landscape. The RX100 could fit in my motorcycle jacket pocket, so I wouldn't even need to get off the bike.

Yet, I prefer my smartphone, because it geotags and syncs my photos automatically. I can send them to people in an instant, as long as there's signal. That's worth a lot if you spend most of the day on the saddle, and have little time or energy left to process photos.

I like photography, but I don't like making my trips about photography. In any case, I find that keeping a travel journal works much better than taking a million pictures.
I think it’s easily to correlate internet speed availability to road breadth.

Increasing the number of lanes on a road does not reduce traffic, it adds more cars. It’s a common, unfortunate phenomenon.

Both are correct. Apple uses non-standard instructions themselves, but for third-party developers the standard ARM ISA is provided for use.
I am currently working on redesigning the entire academic publishing system which is not an easy task and since because I am alone, it may take an entire lifetime of mine, and it is on hold sadly. I wish someone could take it up with me. I was "squatting" on a domain which is about to expire because I cannot even pay for it. :/ I have no time to work on the design itself, let alone the implementation, because I have to survive on shitty money. I did work on the design quite a lot a year ago when I could afford it, but it has been a while. It would be quite easy to filter out nonsensical articles the way it would work in my case, among other features. I cannot really talk about it on here.

That said, there are lots of "may" in the article. As to why someone is telling you this, well, in this case it is to sell you their products. She could consult a doctor about it. What form is the lithium in? How much of the product (which they sell) is actual lithium? Should look at the studies mentioned where they say "may", so that you would actually have something to base your beliefs on, because "may" is not a claim of "will", and "may" is not "evidence", it is just speculation; they are merchants of hope. The article also does not go very in depth with the comparisons of dose. How much lithium do people get daily and from which sources? Might it turn out that micro-dosing is actually a mere 1/10th of what people already get normally in a day? Keep also in mind, that some regions have lithium in their tap water already. Plus, people believe the news too, because it sounds believable, but this is not about technical literature alone. People do need to get educated about how to critically comb articles.

By the way: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11838882/

> Lithium is commonly found in drinking water and various foods, with dietary intake estimated at 0.6 to 3.1 milligrams per day in the United States in 1985. Lithium supplements are sold as pills, liquid capsules, solutions, and syrups of lithium orotate or lithium aspartate.
> If someone perceives the exact same dish as tasting better because it was more expensive (and/or in a fancier setting, with fancy table linens and silverware, a live quartet playing classical music, etc) then to that person it IS better. Perceiving something as being better is literally all that matters.

Perhaps it does, but it also makes him a poor food critic, which was the relevant issue here.
I'll call it `reverse` instead of `invert`, but I'm not sure which is the official name.

Can the kids program in a computer? This looks like a too difficult task. (I had to think for a while to be sure it is O(N).)

But in reality, modest reductions in internet traffic won't impact the datacenters and network infrastructures that have already been built.

Putting politics aside, which I probably don't want to discuss in a thread about Apple silicon, competition where you argue about licensing and code sourcing for stuff that you are vying to upstream stuff to the same open source upstream does really not seem healthy.
> Yeah, this would make sense if you ignored all dietary and solar variations in Vitamin D productions

No, actually, MR specifically accounts for these variations.

However, one idea (one that would need a lot of evidence in my opinion, but to give you a clearer picture) that is not captured by MR is horizontal pleiotropy. So, if the genetic variants used in this study e.g. actually cause someone to seek out dietary modifications/solar augmentation of vitamin D, that would not be accounted for here.

I don't think the biology in this case allows for that to any significant degree, but I'm not an expert in vitamin D metabolism/action or COVID.

> I don't think it's an honest assessment

The title here is maybe a bit simplified, but the paper is quite honest about its weaknesses if you read it in its entirety.

Or literally use the header files for the widevine blobs freely available in the chromium sources to directly use the API exported by the .so...

... and then get sued for illegally calling a few exported methods on a shared library you freely downloaded from the internet (but without first obtaining a license from Google!).

And by the way, I wasn't kidding about the freely downloadable from the internet part, when you open Netflix in Firefox, the browser downloads and loads a shared library from a Google domain: https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/${WIDEVINE_VERSION}-linux...

As per https://gist.github.com/ruario/3c873d43eb20553d5014bd4d29fe3..., which is still used by certain browsers and unofficial clients like the inputstream kodi extension to play netflix videos.
If you're on arm, an entire chrome OS image is downloaded instead, extracting the compiled widevine shared library.
My own experience disagrees with your anecdote, but I guess it's different for everyone.

I learned programming by myself when I was a teenager, and 0-indexed never was an issue.

We learn very early on as kids at school that there are 10 digit numbers, not 9. You learn to write 0 before any other characters. On every digit pad, such as phone dial, there is a "0".

If I ask you the list of digit numbers, 0 is the first element.

There is nothing counter-intuitive about that in my opinion, even for a kid.
Replication crisis is real. It's at least somewhat likely that large chunks of the research output in those non-stem fields is just the result of p-hacking. Go ahead and try to replicate studies in Psychology. Good luck.

Recently got a used Fujifilm X-T20 and love it. It can be full auto or full manual, and I like that aperture and shutter speed can be changed with knobs instead of touchscreen (unlike the otherwise excellent Sony mirrorless cameras). Also it looks retro, which is great.
I just don't think that debate is a good tool for getting sympathy for one's ideas. Look at how we are here on HN with the CCP is bad/CCP is vilified debate. No one is going to convince me that the CCP isn't committing genocide and I'm not going to convince anyone that the CCP is. (Dang, this is not me trying to start a nationalistic flamewar: I actually deleted a comment I wrote earlier after reflecting on what it was doing.)

I don't know. I really do want to understand the other side's ideas but we need a better method than debate because debate is fundamentally about winning. Try it with your partner: if either side wins everyone loses.

Where my wife and I find the love and communion is when we soften. And if we've been quarreling a lot often the thing for us is taking a psychedelic together and then crying our eyes out in a long embrace. Very healing and the furthest thing I can imagine from debate.

I don't know how to love someone who advocates for a country doing genocide. Or who says the satellite photos we see are not evidence of genocide. And I'm using this most extreme example to illustrate that there may not be a point of reconciliation: only people feeling good about winning.
I've put together a proposal to have all strings be f-strings by default.

Then you could drop the "f" prefix. I also propose adding a "p" prefix (for "plain") to remove the f-string parsing behavior.

I talked about it at the last Python core sprint, and it only got lukewarm support, so I'm not sure I'm going to pursue it.
Strange piece. Nobody claimed that dynamic type systems are simpler, they're just... well, dynamic. Type system complexity and dynamism are orthogonal. What the dynamic and static distinction is about is when the program decides to look at what your types actually are. At runtime or compile time, nothing more.

This has some implications for simplicity but not in the sense that the article tries to argue about. The real benefit from dynamic languages is not that you don't have types, it's that your program becomes more flexible at runtime. This is riskier by definition, but it also has the advantage of not eliminating countless of valid programs that a static language eliminates, or only makes possible through fairly complicated constructs.

>"[...]One day you open that module which you haven’t touched in six months, and you see a function call where the third argument is null. You need to remember what kinds of variables you can pass to that third argument[...]"

You don't need to remember that at all. The issue here is that the author applies the static mindset to the dynamic paradigm. The correct behaviour here is to not 'expect' or take for granted any particular input, but for the object/function in question to on its own deal with whatever input it gets. In Smalltalk style OO you would say it's the object that is solely responsible for the message it receives. That's not surprising but the very essence of late-binding.
Your physician is wrong, as separate from just the Vitamin-D mechanism, greater lifetime sun exposure is correlated with many net-positive health outcomes, especially with regard to cancer & cardiovascular health, that outweigh the risks of skin cancer.
I'd say that varies by country, but section 230 of the CDA [0] would seem to say that Americans are generally OK:

> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

Wikipedia expounds to say:

"The statute in Section 230(c)(2) further provides "Good Samaritan" protection from civil liability for operators of interactive computer services in the removal or moderation of third-party material they deem obscene or offensive, even of constitutionally protected speech, as long as it is done in good faith."

My understanding is that you (if you're American) would be OK as long as you're not the source of it and that it's incidental to your operations, like your intent is to make a message board for normal conversational stuff and it's not called "Totally Not Child Porn Wink Wink.com".

One nice feature of Mastodon in particular is that you can configure it not to cache content from specific servers. I use that to avoid hosting images from particular servers that specialize in stuff with a high "ick factor". If a use really wants to follow users on those servers, they can, but then that server is the one serving images to my user, not me. I like that setup.

That's not surprising. Jews have traditionally been overrepresented in intellectual circles in Europe around that time. One of the major reasons for this is the antisemitism of preindustrial times: Jews had a hard time entering guilds, and they didn't own any land, so the only viable career paths for them were as merchants or scholars. Their success in these fields then triggered the next level of antisemitism, the 20th-century and contemporary alleged Jewish World Conspiracy.

As another example of how Jews were overrepresented in intellectual fields, the German science community, which had up to this point been among the leading ones in the world, took a serious blow in the 1930s and 1940s because all the Jewish scientists had to emigrate. It can be argued that Germany never quite recovered from that brain drain.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a historian. However, I'm German myself and have studied my country's history to a certain degree.)

Sounds like a terrific idea. I saw the growth of this sort of thing in Argentina and other South American countries once some companies started investing time and money there. A fair amount of the popularity was attributed to sharing highly overlapping time zones with the US. I imagine this has a similar advantage for European customers.

You may get some mileage out of talking with Globant (https://globant.com) or a similar company in South America to hear what their experience was. They have a different model, but do a lot of the same things you've outlined.

I spent a lot of time and effort merging my chat clients in the Meebo era and afterwards with XMPP proxies and I tried to keep friends from messaging me in 3 apps at once.

I gave up and that's fine. I have at least 4 messaging apps on my phone and I still prefer that over debugging a proxy. A missed message causes real-world problems, so it's important not to mess with the delicate balance that IM already carries.

If the benefit is easier archival and search, give me a solution to that that works in the background rather than a real-time proxy.
In a random store most likely 100% of tomatoes are crap, as stores overwhelmingly pick the varieties of tomatoes which are optimized so that they can be transported and stored and transported without damage and spoilage (and since logistics takes time, they have to be picked before they're fully ripe), trading off flavor, taste and nutrients.

There are many tomato varieties that objectively taste much better (you don't have to be a snob or supertaster, the difference is obvious), but they are hard or impossible to distribute through modern logistics, you would have to live very close to the grower (or grow them yourself) so that you can eat them the day they're picked without driving them around half the country. And, of course, you get them when they're in season, not year-round. That's impractical, so most of us rather choose to eat crap tomatoes most of time - and so 90% of tomatoes are crap. Even if they're red and we consider that crap as normal, they're still crap in comparison.
> the individual does not change their vitamin D intake according to their genotype

I did. I looked at the vitamin D level on a blood test, saw it was on the low side, and started taking D supplements.

I would guess a large fraction of people in the developed world have looked, or had a doctor look at a blood test and make vitamin recommendations.

I never much liked this being called a paradox since it has so many built in assumptions, most of them centered around any given, theoretical alien civilization resembling a human civilization in any way. It's a limitation of what we know for sure, since there's certainly no rule that civilization elsewhere should resemble civilization on Earth. That's an acceptable limitation, it's difficult to notice things you don't know you should notice, but it's a limitation nonetheless.

Of course, it's also possible for civilizations to be so far away that we will like never detect them due to the inverse square law. They could even be in parts of the universe we can't observe.
Well done on building this.
