I've never seen a woman get laid and I promise you, I'll tell you right now, if they make the robots gorgeous, there will be a war between human women and robot women and, I swear to God we will freaking win"

Exactly. My 3 main concerns with GMO are anything related to pesticides, anything transgenetic, and the privatization of biology thru IP capture.

I'm sorry those risks fall under the rubric of GMO and not "corporatism" and "theft". Blame the GMO rhetoric on big agriculture.

A helpful contrasting example for the apologists:

Wheat with better nutrition and yields: good.

Wheat which requires matching pesticides, herbicides; where seeds are sterile; where seedstocks cannot be shared, reused, resold; where wheat incorporates genetic code from other plants: bad.
In some communities, weight gain is a down-stream effect of "metabolic syndrome", and the "solution" isn't to count calories or exercise more - it's to simply eat _differently_.

Sugar is a particularly odious contributor to problems.

Like OP, my wife and I also struggled with infertility for a few years (two miscarriages, years of doing everything "right", and not getting pregnant.) We're finally pregnant, and out of the most dangerous time period.

Our traditional fertility doctor was pushing us hard to do IVF (we didn't want to), so we said "eh, thanks, we'll just take a break for a while."

I asked the doc if there was any association between diet and pregnancy, and she said no. I facepalmed so hard.

I wrote up notes on a book about sugar here: https://josh.works/notes-gary-taubes-case-against-sugar

Might be worth skimming the notes to determine if it's worth reading the book.

Oh, and for others trying to get pregnant, and curious to learn more about endocrine disruptors and the effects of diet and metabolic syndrome on fertility (for men and women) I'd recommend reading _It Starts With The Egg_ [0].

This book walks you, the reader, though a lot of recent research, boils it down to a "do this/don't do that" checklist at the end of each chapter, it was perfect for my engineering brain.

Is it even about punishment? This is a civil case about loot-boxes.

The settlement is to pay off the lawyers and make the case go away.

I'm not that morally opposed to loot boxes and I don't believe any laws were broken. What kind of punishment are you looking for?
Cannabis was a big factor for me. My sperm morphology improved after I ceased using it. Anecdotal, but there are a few studies that support the idea (cannabis in general doesn't have a lot of studies because it is a Schedule 1).

If you're a heavy user, it can't hurt to stop while you're trying, and it may help. (I don't see it mentioned often in these discussions.)

Never let yourself become loyal to a company. Companies are motivated by profit. The only "support" you should ever give a company is payment in exchange for a product or service. Bad companies support plenty of good causes. Support those causes, but don't confuse that with support for the company itself.

I agree with Google about link taxes being bad, but I do not support Google itself.

I agree with Apple about Facebook's privacy violations being bad, but I do not support Apple itself.

I agree with Epic about Apple's restrictions regarding what users can do with their devices being bad, but I do not support Epic itself.

Companies are not heroes.
Reminds me of the airline antitrust suit in the early 1990's. The settlement was 10% discount coupons (AirScrip) for seven of the airlines that were involved.

Two airlines that weren't part of the suit (Alaska and America West) agreed to accept the coupons since they didn't want to get left out.
In the python world this is StrictYAML: https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/
Hold your hand up in front of your face, and try to stick each finger up, in turn, starting with the index finger. You'll find that you can easily extend or stick up each finger except for the ring finger, which will experience a lot of tension. The ring finger can only be moved up fully and easily if the middle finger is moved up with it.

I am a classically trained pianist, but I've never heard of anyone having surgery to free up their ring finger. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened, though.
Requiring a 4 year degree for a job even if the major isn’t relevant doesn’t seem wrong to me. Maybe data entry is taking it too far? Maybe the data was really sensitive and complicated.
Not having worked with cython, the difference seems to be that cython requires using special types in its annotations as well as not supporting specializing the standard types
like ‘list’.

Mypy aims to be compatible with the standard Python type annotations and still be able to optimize them. So in theory, you don’t need to modify your existing type-annotated program. In practice I believe there are limitations currently.

A much better use case. That said, the list order is kinda fragile, having an explicit row identifier might be worth adding. Especially since all of the columns are being explicitly called out instead of in their own list.

Umass opens doors, MIT opens more - in 2010 when I graduated, my friends who went to MIT and did ok landed at 90k/yr in comp-sci fields, my friends from Umass who did ok made 40-70k in comp-sci fields.

Given that everyone was living in Boston post-graduation and the base CoL is somewhere between 40 and 50k per year. The MIT folks had somewhere between 2 and 20x the disposable income at graduation. Meaning their debt burden was much lower.
The returns you can make in securities over ten to twenty years is much more impressive than bonds.
From personal experience, after lucid dreaming (not semi-lucid) I feel like a vulcano. Seriously, I've never experience something as energising as lucid dreaming. I still remember the first time I had my first one: I felt like I was overloaded by electricity, one of the best sensation of my life. On the other hand, when the lucid dream transitions to semi-lucid and no-lucid, then I usually feel pretty tired.

It's easier for people to believe that HFCS is the devil than to change their habits, which include consuming 45 gallons of soda contributing to 60lbs of sugar consumed per year. The average american consumes over 300 calories per day of just sugar. 17 teaspoons per day. Just imagine scooping that out of a bag. That's never going to be ok whether it's HFCS, table sugar, or honey.

Moving from HFCS to table sugar wouldn't change those numbers at all... but if they can blame HFCS it'll ease their guilt that they might be personally responsible for the health consequences of their own diet.

Edit: keep in mind, this is ADDED sugars only. It doesn't include natural sugars, like those found in juice, fruits, etc. The average american consumers an incredible amount of sugar.
> the lack of acknowledgment that the financial aid within top schools runs deep,

I think you're confusing depth and breadth. It's like the Harbor Freight coupon. Everyone gets 20% off with a few exclusions. But the people paying less than 80% (to continue the Harbor Freight metaphor) are few and far between.

Question: Does this mean honey and high fructose corn syrup are approximately equally [1] unhealthy? Or is honey an anomaly/enigma [2] in this respect?

[1] Apparently honey contains ~40% fructose, which about the same as “HFCS42” (a standard 42% fructose corn syrup product).

[2] I ask this because I’ve read many claims that honey is among the healthiest forms of sugar, with many studies cited that show all sorts of health benefits of honey (at least versus table sugar or HFCS). Is this pseudoscientific bunk that I’ve been mislead to believe?

You could do just that, but the usual way was to put a single "control card" that invoked the FORTRAN compiler before you own code. This invoked a compiler that was already stored in the system, on tape or disk.

The computer center had stacks of control cards for different functions like this - they were color coded - so you had to remember to get a pink card and put it before your program deck.

It was possible to punch a binary output deck of your compiied program or even store it on disk or tape - there were different control cards for that.
Since there's a clear lead to this search, sending a message to the lead would probably accomplish that.
You may believe what you do sincerely but if you believed otherwise then someone else would have had your job.

Maybe there's a reason they are unemployed

> I think a lot of poorly-received questions on S/O are the result of people not knowing where to look for their answer, or being intimidated by reading the docs or source code.

Isn't is the point of engineering? To know how to get information and what to search for? If the 15$/hour dev knows and the guy on my team doesn't, why am-I not employing the person answering questions? My company sure pays more than 15$/hour...

Hi! I'm the PM for Code Review at GitLab - thanks for all the feedback. The team really knocked it out of the park in 13.9 so it's great to see that being recognized.

> 1. Marking whether a comment requests changes or not. This is of course straight out of GitHub, but I think their flow better matches what I found to be happening a in a lot of changes. I see such states for a Code review of a MR: Changes approved, Reviewer requests changes, reviewer leaves feedback (like "nice implementation", "good refactor", "minor: maybe you can refactor this?"). The last one is the most blurry in the GitLab approach since the way we can solve it is by starting a comment thread that is not resolved and approving a MR at the same time but it feels clunky. Maybe they can take a page out of GitHub's book.

This is something we've been thinking about a lot and want to address. Right now our comments are pretty murky in that it's not clear what might be required. We'd like to add some kind of support here to make that clearer and you can see some issues in https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4349

We've also been thinking about this in the handoff part of the reviewer workflows (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5074), as a way to signal what the expectation from the reviewer is once they've finished the review.

Stay tuned!

I think most Americans are doing just fine with high fructose diets. However, there have been a lot of studies coming out, that seem to be suggesting there is some danger of obesity after a certain low carbohydrate diet or skipping carbohydrates altogether, as these diets tend to spike blood sugar rapidly. The most interesting is a study in humans, that showed a significant increase in blood glucose when carbohydrates were restricted . However, the more I look at it the more I feel like the results are definitely not true for me. I still get a pretty nice feeling in my mouth after eating sugar but I don't notice much of a difference in taste, taste just seems dull, bland, sour, and nothing much else, other than I don't feel I need as many carbohydrates as I did before.

Generally speaking, in the last couple of years, the more I use reddit, the less I want to use it. I've been pretty involved in it for 10+ years and used to love it. Reddit used to be a pretty important part of my life. It took a long time to de-train me from coming back to it, but they've done it. I hardly ever open it anymore, and I've routed www.reddit.com to localhost so that I wouldn't end up on the new design by accident. I've only done that for less than a dozen addresses.
Thanks for the reply, the combined parameter was borne out of your real world usage so I'm glad it sounds like you'll keep it in. Hope I didn't come off cynical, this is a very cool feature for OjG.
I guess you are mistaken about what a heat pump is.

Heat pump is a closed system in which you store energy when it is hot and recover it when it is cold.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

Heat pump is not just the pump mechanism, but the entire system which includes mass of rock that is heat reservoir.

What typically happens is you drill deep in the ground or rock and circulate air, water or some other refrigerant underground. During summer you pump hot refrigerant to heat up the mass of rock. This can be for example water that has been made hot by the sun. During winter you push water through that warm rock to recover the heat to warm your home.

No, it is not thermodynamically possible to recover more than 100% of stored energy.

I'm influenced by reports like these[1], but maybe I've been biased in my reading selection.

I also want to be clear about what I'm saying:

- I'm not saying macroeconomists don't have a hard job. Specifically due to the slow feedback and complex systems, it must be one of the hardest jobs in the world. It's like you set a dial on a big black box and suddenly, but years later, a bunch of people get sick. You'll never know whether it was that dial setting that did it. Or whether it was one of your other 35 dial settings. Actually, you'll likely never even know it happened.

- I'm not saying macroeconomists are worse at this than any others. There are many highly theoretical fields with low level of concrete feedback where this is a problem.

- I'm not saying macroeconomists aren't trying. It's just a fundamentally insanely intractable problem, so I'm still looking for evidence that they aren't failing.

- I'm also not saying macroeconomists are doing it out of ignorance or spite. The few I've spoken to have all been pretty honest about flying blind.

If you want less overhead, pre-compiled GPU kernel code, and a simple input/output interface for GPU computation. I wrote a similar, but arguably lighter weight solution here:

https://github.com/nick-funk/radium

It uses Cloo, so OpenCL if that's what you like. Includes examples for basic array operations as well as a full blown ray tracer so you can see how complex objects are passed to and from the GPU.

Caveat: you're writing C-esque compute kernels, not C# though.

Does that mean it's now reliable when putting it in a public-facing place? An orga that shall not be named used nextcloud for various important things and had it connected to the Internet, which for modern open source software is usually okay. But then a friend found that you can take the whole system down from a 56k modem (pre-auth) and it had to be recommended the Orga keep it internal, which was an issue because they iirc also used it for file sharing with externals.

As far as I know it's very rare that someone bothers with exploiting denial of service bugs, but given how trivial (triggerable by hand) this was, it's still a bit risky.

The bug was of course reported to them but closed as wontfix dontcare because there were too many other ways of taking it down already. Php was blamed iirc (which really isn't the culprit).
