There has been a division because historically publication was expensive and labor intensive not because of some inherent virtue of the arrangements.

Some people who don't like the moderation policies have created a fictional world where such policies are wrong instead of merely disagreeable like someone who hates pineapple imagining that putting them on pizza violates some moral principal instead of merely their own tastes.

If you examine such a request the user nearly always desires not broader liability for websites but for the government to use such liability as a cudgle to force websites to accept speech they would otherwise object to and host it on their platform. Effectively they want to take away others freedom and compell their speech. This is so obviously immoral that one wonders what moral principles could possibly justify this.

Vegetarian Indian food is very tasty and also potentially very carb-rich if you don’t watch out — especially the parathas / pooris. Or the large amounts of rice many consume vs their exercise levels.

The sugary tea many consume, often multiple times a day, is also a problem — to be clear the sugar is the problem, not the tea. And then there’s Indian sweets and a national love of biscuits (en-GB not en-US) and fried snacks.

>> B12.. So take this with a healthy dose of skepticism

Absolutely this.

Meat is so highly nutritionally dense - vegans you have no clue.

I was a vegan for 20 years of my life. I thought it was env friendly, ethical, bla-bla-bla and had my mum as a company at home while growing up in this seriously flawed cult.

And then I figured that I was not only b12 border line deficient but also in other b-vitamins. And the list continued to Iron, zinc etc. As a vegan you can still get most vitamins other than the most important b12. Even if you can get other vitamins from vegan, you will have to eat a lot to get the same nutrients as in a simple steak!

Since turning into meat, my life has gotten 10 times better probably. Although I prefer to prepare it at home only and have it just once/twice a month.

Thanks it is good to know there are still those who think there is a truth to be settled by politicking like real gentleman. Still I love how his favourite question of universal grammar was utterly sidelined when it was shown that problems of parser ambiguity also show up in the vision system, a much older neural structure.
https://veganhealth.org/vitamin-b12/ has pretty much everything one needs to know about B12. It's worth a read in general, but especially important for vegans. Teasing the crucial part: Relying on 100% RDA of B12 from a daily multivatimin will get you in trouble because that likely exceeds the capacity of your transport proteins in a single dose. For the less efficient "unassisted" absorption, you need to dose a lot higher.

During the pandemic, I found myself unemployed with mountains of free time.

I knew I specifically wanted to dig into minix as a pastime. In my mind, the text book(s), and a fully featured Unix with a small code base were a unique combination...

That is, until I sat down to actually buy the book. The $200 price tag was beyond sticker shock. It was literally offensive.

I didn’t take long to find Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces (OSTEP)[1]. The book can be had for Legally FREE or Affordable. And the introduction contained (among everything else) a brief manifesto admonishing the crazy high prices of college text books.

The book is funny, technically excellent, and also features a tiny-sized Unix like operating system: xv6.

Pouring my hours into this book and learning the XV6 operating system was time well spent.

Personally, I think these two features should be part of the $20 tier and not the most expensive one. I don't understand why I have to pay $60/user/month more to get some UI integration which I can also get when paying for GitHub Enterprise for similar price as GitLab's $20 tier
A note to readers. This is dhcpCd. A client, not a server. Also my client of choice.
"When you use WhatsApp and allow access to your phone book, we only see the phone numbers, not the name."

That's the weakness of current chat tools right there. They can't listen in but they do know when you talked to whom and how long, how often, etc. In fairness, Signal and Telegram are similarly dependent on phone numbers. The traffic might be encrypted but even just knowing who talked to whom, when is useful.
It's proven that speed limits save lives by 100% of scientists.

There's absolutely no proof that quarantine or any of these Covid restrictions was effective.

There's a study that masks might prevent spread by around 2%. That doesn't seem enough to enforce massive restrictions to me. Sweden and had less deaths per capita then most of Europe and they had minimal restrictions.

Also the scale of the restrictions is different than speed limits.
Quarantine and business shutdowns are massive changes to society and repressive restrictions on financial survival and affect just about every aspect of our lives versus just some targeted change like a speed limit.

What if a vaccine had never been developed?

Would you be okay enforcing these restrictions forever?
>” the anonymous editor peppered the text with political, personal, and sexual slander aimed at tarnishing the Cromwell legacy.”

Stopped reading at this point. If the author doesn’t understand that the Cromwell legacy is already tarnished due to war crimes I doubt there’s going to be much reason to continue.
You can use subtitles, or you do what every foreigner has to do: you adapt and learn to deal with different accents.

I would personally find it really insulting to have someone translating my English because of my pace or my swiss-french accent.
The author notes it well:

> In Western studies, vegans had lower body mass index, lesser waist circumference, reduced blood sugar levels, lower low-density lipoprotein (protein that transfer lipids around the body; fats are a kind of lipid) cholesterol (a type of lipid), less body fat & lower blood pressure than omnivores.

My question is, do the studies shown account for body weight? Sure if you are comparing your average USA citizen (40.0% of which are obese) to a group that happens to be fit, you are definitely going to have much better outcome of the later.

First part of the question would be, does veganism help with obesity? Or is it just correlated to it for other reasons? Conjecture: it seems no surprise that people who spend a significant amount of time worrying about their diet have on average much better BMI, but maybe the diet itself also helps.

Second part would be, when adjusting for BMI, does veganism also show these benefits? Or are they benefits related only to BMI? There seem to be no separation of the benefits of being vegan vs the benefits of being fit when the health outcome is being discussed.
"chips-beer vegan" is a brand new category of eating unhealthy.

Yeah, nobody uses Spark because they want to, they use it because from certain data size, there's nothing else.
Can you clarify what exactly you're insinuating here? Do you think it's likely that sales in fact have been dropping 40% every 3 months but the author is too clueless to notice it for any other 3-month period except that one? Or are you alleging the author is lying? What scenario seems more plausible to you here than the one that involves piracy actually having caused the drop?
It's not as easy to consume excess calories with fats/protein as it is with simple carbs. These are quickly processed, spike your blood sugar, cause insulin overload, which in turns lowers your blood sugar to the point where you're hungry again.

Fats/protein take longer to process and are more satiating. That's not to say you couldn't consume 5,000 calories of them in one sitting, but you wouldn't be hungry again any time soon.
Censoring? I've had posts EDITED on a stack exchange platform. Multiple times, with the result saying the opposite of what I said.

Of course they can be. For example Stadia.

Now Stadia Studios might not seem like a big deal, I mean who uses it? Not many people bought into it because no one trusts Google to keep anything alive.

Consequently, Google Cloud is great but I know that without question we picked AWS and Azure because of appearances of Google publically killing and not supporting their products.

People at Google absolutely do stupid things and damage their reputation.
> This directly shows a clear advantage over Pandas for instance, where there is no clear distinction between a float NaN and missing data, where they really should represent different things.

Not true anymore:

> Starting from pandas 1.0, an experimental pd.NA value (singleton) is available to represent scalar missing values. At this moment, it is used in the nullable integer, boolean and dedicated string data types as the missing value indicator.

> The goal of pd.NA is provide a “missing” indicator that can be used consistently across data types (instead of np.nan, None or pd.NaT depending on the data type).

I really like this trend of self hosted apps that make it possible to avoid shipping sensitive data to third parties.

Baserow looks so polished, very impressive for such an early stage project. Loved how easy it was to get the auto generated API working too!
Very true, but the problem is in paying these models to the actual study of linguistics and human language. For example, you can approach computation using something like a Turing Machine, but this won't help you understanding how to understand a modern CPU architecture or how to write well-optimized code. Chomsky's work is very interesting and relevant in the domain of formal languages, but as far as human languages goes, it always struck me as a self-indulgent intellectual exercise with little practical relevance.
At about 2 meters of aperture, you can quite well still do a single mirror at reasonable costs. If the launch costs like 60 million, the telescope would realistically have a budget of 60-120 million for the platform. On that scale, a series of 2m mirrors should be affordable - you would of course order more than one mirror, so you have a reasonable supply.

Considering that a single shuttle launch costet close to 1 billion and the Webb telescope costs many billions, spending 1 billion on a set of 5 telescopes including launch costs sounds like a worthwhile program. Which could be scaled to more telescopes as long there is budget.
I have noticed cheese lifts my mood often.
Easier said than done, given it's nearly impossible to buy AMD GPUs at the moment (and has been for a while now)
It sounds like you like a lot of people have insufficient understanding of what 230 is. Most people who express similar theories really just want the government to make it illegal to moderate deplorables with a thin justification. It's easier to vote down and move on the 95th time someone makes a bad argument.
A Framework for Open Source Evaluation
Yes. I currently run it besides Pulse for screen sharing and there are no issues. I haven't replaced Pulse yet because it didn't work right away, but plan to try again eventually because Pipewire supports HFP, the less terrible Bluetooth headset profile.
what does "by default" and "typically" mean?
Why would the GPL get involved? Copyright is flexible because by default you don't have any rights to use someone else's creative works. They can attach whatever requirements they like to it. Here, they've said you can use it for free if you release your own software as open source. Doesn't seem like a problem.

According to https://www.eia.gov/international/analysis/country/CHN

58% of china's energy comes from coal alone (which I suspect is where you get your fossil fuel figure)

20% comes from oil and related fluids

8% natural gas

so 86% fossil fuels. Of the remaining 14%, 2% is nuclear and 11% is renewable.

> and that's dropping fast (65% in 2019)

The percentage is dropping slowly because newer forms of generation such as solar are coming online. China is using all the energy it can get from every sector, they are rapidly adding coal capacity along with everything else. China has no qualms about opening hundreds of coal plants per year, except they are also manufacturing millions of solar panels as well.
Agree. And the competition alternative approach would have more weight before the coordinated attack of big tech against Parler.

And I am not convinced that social media is something that we will miss. A decentralised approach with lots of independent websites, each responsible for their own opinion, is probably a healthier ecosystem.
Selectively censoring letters so as to change the meaning of a post is not what is commonly thought of as moderation.

Anyway, I think you’re losing the bead a little here. Speech isn’t liable because it’s speech. It’s liable because it’s slanderous or defamatory. So calling moderation “speech” doesn’t suddenly invite liability, unless we’re claiming that the very act of exclusion is prima facie defamation, which is a more dangerous idea than the problem you’re trying to solve in the first place. If moderation as such were to be actionable, then my shitty band could sue you for not including us in your shared Spotify playlist. It would open the door for any sort of public curation whatsoever to carry legal risks.

Losing the tool of moderation would kill off this very forum, which would become overrun by crackpots, trolls, and V1Agra spam in short order. By pruning the weeds of bad-faith discourse, moderation allows good-faith open discussion to thrive.
Human Trafficking Case vs. Porn Studios Goes to Trial
Maybe a good place to ask vegetarians and vegans: how do you know if your diet is healthy?

I'm myself eating vegetarian since 2016 with no issues. But I never check if my food is balanced and wouldn't know if I would be missing some proteins or nutriments.

Do you check your blood regularly, or do you have other approaches to ensure that you have an adequate diet?
I don't think any reasonable person will claim that office or WFH is universally better. Different strokes for different folks.

But IMO working from home did outline some inefficiencies in the office work that finally started getting more closely inspected (like the needless meetings).
Most people can think for themselves though.

We're changing society for the people who can't think for themselves.
Yeah but that's unrealistic proposal that looks nice on paper, but completely ignores real human nature and how complex and diverse real world is.

Who has the authority for global shutdowns? Nobody. Many nations wouldn't agree on that and political discussions would be endless, everybody has their own agenda regardless of virus. Can you imagine some Europeans telling USA 'OK now whole of your nation will stay at home for 2 weeks'. Not going to fly on any US level. Or Americans to Chinese.

Globally it haven't been handled OK by any means, but these naive suggestions don't help getting a workable solution.

'If only all people behaved rationally' can be wished in any discussion, sure, but it doesn't get us anywhere closer to solutions.
Was a transportation hub. Brexit should sort that out.
protein is 4 calories per gram (same as carbs). Fibre content has a big effect on satiety.

Fat is 9 calories per gram. Fat is incredibly easy to over-consume by the very nature of it being more calorically dense and having very little fibre.
> I thought it was env friendly

It is.[0][1]

> And then I figured that I was not only b12 border line deficient

You "figured" that you were deficient? Were you supplementing B12, or eating fortified foods (e.g. most soy milk brands)?

> Even if you can get other vitamins from vegan, you will have to eat a lot to get the same nutrients as in a simple steak!

No, you just need to eat a normal amount, calorically speaking, and make sure you supplement B12 (and vitamin D if you don't get enough sun).

What if their were some benchmark projects that a team could do in about three days of work? If it provided valuable feedback on which areas the team could improve, it would be well worth the investment.
From the git history it seems like DataFrames.jl maintainers contributed at least some fixes to the scripts, so I guess that means they aren't opposed to it.
Zstandard is getting ubiquitous everywhere: inside of RPMs, as a way to compress data onto filesystems (both Btrfs and ZFS support it) and in several other applications. It decompresses much much faster than XZ while offering a comparable level of compression (XZ is still better, but at with an unreasonably worse computational cost).

The fact .tar.zst or .tzst isn't supercommon (yet) is for the same reason .tar.xz took years to become widely adopted: lots of OSes still ship `tar`s that don't support it out of the box, like Windows (which only supports gzip actually) and macOS (which ships an old version of bsdtar and no libzst). On a reasonably new Linux, is like opening every other kind of tar.
Using coroutines on a UI thread is a recipe for horrible bugs. I've done it, I wouldn't do it again unless I had to (i.e. all JS in the browser is forced to work this way so there it's pointless to resist).

The right approach is what JavaFX or Swing do: make it easy to schedule a lambda onto the UI thread from any background thread. Whilst that lambda executes, events are not dispatched. Where things get painful is where you try to make a single chunk of code look blocking whilst it's actually not. The user can insert arbitrary events into the middle of your code the moment you do an 'await' and you have to plan for that.

In practice, I've not found the typical UI toolkit paradigm to ever be a problem. If your UI starts to stutter, it's time to move something to a background thread. It forces you to admit that the UI and work are genuinely running in parallel and consider cancellation semantics, work/results handoff, etc. And of course you properly use multi-core systems.
Shutting down all of society with a very little proof ..versus a small targeted change like a speed limit or tobacco restriction that both have pretty much scientific consensus and decades of proof.

Those are not good comparisons.

Understanding the Tesla Model S Performance Motor [video]
Durov is in self-imposed exile from the Russian government.

His public image carries more weight than Zuckerberg ever could (I don't think Zuckerberg could become a public figure in the next decades like Gates is).

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Durov:

> On 16 April 2014 Durov publicly refused to hand over data of Ukrainian protesters to Russia's security agencies and block Alexei Navalny's page on VK.[4] Instead he posted the relevant orders on his own VK page [23][24] claiming that the requests were unlawful.

> On 21 April 2014 Durov was dismissed as CEO of VK. The company claimed it was acting on his letter of resignation a month earlier that he failed to recall.[4][25] Durov then claimed the company had been effectively taken over by Vladimir Putin's allies,[25][26] suggesting his ouster was the result of both his refusal to hand over personal details of users to federal law enforcement and his refusal to hand over the personal details of people who were members of a VK group dedicated to the Euromaidan protest movement.[25][26] Durov then left Russia and stated that he had "no plans to go back"[26] and that "the country is incompatible with Internet business at the moment".[4]

Thats a bit of an anachronism, isnt it? The concept of war crimes was developed a few centuries later, wasnt it?
I do bookkeeping and office backend administration for a small sales company. I use Airtable as a semi-technical person to automate processes we used to drive by hand in a google spreadsheet - the main one being commission calculation.

I was able to put this together in the 10-15 hours per week that remains after I finish my core job responsibilities.

I want to learn how to do things the 'real-code' way but the learning curve is steep! Low code tools like Airtable let me use the limited time I have available to get something up and running. I can add improvements incrementally as my skills expand.

When I first set up the Airtable, I was importing data manually from our CRM and from our accounting software. Now I have an awful Postman collection rigged up that does the importing for me (but I have to click a button everyday to run it).

I discovered Pipedream a few months ago and have used that to set up an email system that queries the Airtable database and returns relevant records. A sales rep enters an opportunity and gets an email with a list of leads tailored to that particular opportunity. This incentivizes the reps to add their data to the system.

My next project is to set up emails to notify our new freight coordinator when a load needs to ship, that will query multiple related records and give her all the info she needs in one email, plus cc'ing the sales rep on the deal so they can coordinate.

Our CRM almost does all of these things but there's always some limitation that holds us back, if we're just trying to use the out-of-the box tools.

As someone who aspires to be a developer but is not there yet skill-wise, I really appreciate the low-code tools that let me stitch together horrible Frankenstein monsters of Javascript to let me automate some of the monkey work that I would otherwise be doing by hand.

This then frees up my time to expand my skill-set and learn better ways of doing things. (Such as node.js on a Heroku server so I can put my javascript all in one place instead of scattered throughout all the little places you can put code in Postman.)
Basically all B12 supplement brands know this (it's their job) and so they have something like 2000% RDI (or whatever) to account for it.
At the time, it may have been that the ”Jury is still out”.

Nobody uses Tar like that anymore. Tar is used as a more flexible replacement for ZIP nowadays, it could have easily been CPIO but `tar` had a much better command line interface.

100% agree - its a meme because it appears as a hiring criteria in the Valve handbook and Valve is successful therefore T shaped must be a great quality to have.

T shaped neatly sidesteps any mention of tradeoffs. Have your cake and eat it too! What utter nonsense. Why not Pi shaped or Comb shaped? (google those - they exist).
