Diet/longevity studies in mice aren't good sources of information for the general population. They are (at best) pilots/guides for further (more expensive) human testing.

Unless it's a treatment for an acute condition that you suffer from, and there's some logical basis for trusting the effect will equally apply to humans, there's no point in basing personal dietary behavior in any way off of such studies. And a lesser point is that there is likely enough agreed upon research in this area that you are not adhering to already! (Myself included, though I do try)

Of course, the people who might work on such trials might frequent HN, and research is just intrinsically interesting, so I'm not saying "this is a bad post".

I understand the advertising part of it, what I don't understand is who is actually spending the money.

The Preview dialog shown is completely irresponsible and lazy, ridiculous really. There's no reason to force the user to decide how exactly to put the images into files, at that moment nor at any other. Put the images in some kind of app-specific storage, whatever, don't make me deal with it unless I decide to. Computers know how to store data. That's a solved problem, don't make it my problem.

The truly insane part is, the app is already doing this since Force Quit doesn't lose anything. Madness, madness.
Mice, by virtue of being vertebrates, and more specifically mammals, share much biology with us - from biochemistry, to cellular functions, to macro structures. There's a reasonable chance things that affect their bodies will affect ours as well.
A large concern in civil design loads is rain, wind and earthquakes.

These are all probabilistic in nature, you do not generally seek to build something to be flood proof. You instead design it to survive perhaps a 1 in 100 year flood, or perhaps 1 in 1000 if it's important.

There is a trade-off being constantly made, between the price of a project and the (estimated - of course) chance of it still being standing in a year.

This looks really cool, I vibe 100% behind the concept of "include a standardized CSS lib so you never have to write your own CSS", and I love the naming conventions (with some nitpicky exceptions), but nowadays it's really hard to even consider a new CSS library if it doesn't even have a library of components to preview and/or copy/paste the HTML for. Contrast to e.g. MaterializeCSS [1] which also allows you to get by with their pre-made CSS classes 95% of the time without writing your own, but also showcases how those classes can compost together to form more complex components/interactions.

I can't tell if this library has basic things like buttons, accordions, menus, dropdowns, input/label styling, etc, and I'm inclined to believe it either doesn't or that I need to create my own "super css classes" that combine all the pieces I'd otherwise repeatedly use every time I need e.g. a button, which kind of goes against their "write no CSS" manifesto.

Very cool project that I'd definitely be interested in seeing some sites made with it, though.

What's missing from this analysis is that the US industrial base wasn't under attack while it was producing those ships.

If you play "what if" and imagine the Japanese had won Midway, and the US had no carriers at all, that gives the Japanese total control of the Pacific. The Japanese can take Hawaii if they want to, because how could the US possibly reinforce and resupply it? The Japanese can attack shipyards and ports on the West Coast at their leisure - and those would be defended obviously, but the attacks would greatly slow the progress of shipbuilding.

Fortunately for the US, they have other ports in the Atlantic. So okay, the US builds carriers there. Now the problem is, you can't just build one carrier and send it to the Pacific. If you have just the one carrier, the Japanese will be very eager to sink it. They'll have spies and recon subs so they'll know when it sorties. If you try to take it through the Panama Canal they'll ambush it.

The bottom line is, you have to build several carriers before you even think about challenging the Japanese again. That means you're looking at years - YEARS - during which, the Japanese do whatever they like. And when you finally put a carrier task force together, at best it's a fair fight ...you might lose again.

And don't forget, while all this is going on you're also fighting Germany.

Your argument above is mistaken.

It's a major factor in why my 80+ year old father is about to go into his 4th open heart surgery, having had a pacemaker the last 2 of those.

He still smokes. He refuses to quit because he sees it as an all or nothing precipice as you characterize above.

Quitting smoking is not some impossible mountain to climb. Talk to your doctor. What works for you will be context dependent. It does work, as proven by people every day. The answer to physiological dependency is time delay + taper down. The psychological re-enforcement loop will break and fade away.

I have done this and am not speaking in terms of hypotheticals.

You could not force me to smoke in any way. I will physically retch at the thought.

Please do not falsely portray quitting smoking as some eternal struggle. In fact, once you do it, it fades within a comparatively short time.
I used to smoke occasionally. Only when I was drinking, as a matter of fact. I never became a regular smoker. I also don't smoke at all anymore, even when drinking.

All the people I know who interviewed for OxBridge were so god damn clever and smart I sometimes ( even til this day ) think whether they are human or not. They could learn a new subject far quicker than I do. And spend more time doing other mostly creative things. But nearly all of them ( at least those I knew ) quit their high paying job for something much simpler, Teaching, Fitness Training, Art or Traveling.

It's not only ads. Autodesk I believe does online rendering now, and for most CAD drawings even a cheap APU can handle that level of geometry, but it's harder to justify a recurring revenue model for a fully local application.
Younger audience is more susceptible to aspirational brand messaging - just look at TV ads for youngsters from few decades ago. Old farts are no longer trying to fit in, and in their purchases bring up terms like "lasting value" and "consumer reports".

A friend's son, a newly minted teenager a few years back, had a Logan Paul sweatshirt and T-shirt at the top of the birthday wishlist. Never mind that's it's a generic Old Navy casualware with the Logan Paul logo imprinted on it (and marked up accordingly).
Every large corporation has an annual advertising/promotional budget. They hire ad agencies and PR firms to handle that work. These agencies would be the people I'd expect hiring/paying the influencers. I'm sure they have a group of young fresh out of college employees that do nothing but scour the web for influencers keep tabs on their followers, the type of content they produce, etc. When a campaign comes along, they fit the prodcut with the influencer and hope for success.
It's also a double edged sword - a lot of nationalist discourse, not very democratic, is spreading from America in a confused mess of mixed messages.

I live in Hong Kong when up to recently I found people Americanized, at least per my definition (Im French, I dislike Americanization): but since Trump and the protest, it seems this american influence made people more violent, enraged, nationalist and totally counter productive.

We were able to compete quite a lot in the world before, but now we have to be tamed by the country because we went too far in the "violent uprising / get freedom with weapon" bullcrap american culture seem to promote here. There's a net negative in following western tactics in asian contexts which I think young people forgot, while elder raise their hands at the sky lamenting the years of compromise, discussion and cross border exchange they patiently built around the city.

I was raised in Brazil during the eighties. That statement by the author has no connection to our country reality. You could argue on a few aspects that things are worse, but the general trend has been of improvement. And if the graphs about quality of life around the globe are correct, this seems to be a very widespread trend on many nations.

This “we’ve gotten worse all around” and “things have never been worse” stance is also typical of Brazilian shallow intellectual elite.

It's not really up for debate, the menu is part of an application's UI in macOS, that is, part of the Interface which the User uses to interact with the application. I assume you're right about a novice user, I haven't been one in many years.

That's why the name of the application is always directly to the right of the apple icon, that tells you which application is in focus, and all the menu items next to it are application-specific. The global part of the menu is just that apple icon, and the menu tray off further to the right.

Can you point me to an example of a macOS app which closes when the last window is closed? I literally can't think of one.
I'd say many people can drink more than that without dependency. I have a whiskey most evenings, but if I run out, I don't have any problems. Sometimes I'll go days or weeks without a drink, just depending on what else is going on.

I use IRC; it is good. I also use NNTP is also good. There are other protocols can be good too. They can be good for different purposes.

There is also I can store all of the files on my own computer. I don't need to store them elsewhere, except to make backups. I use DVDs for local private backups. For public files, I also store them on DVDs, but also on other internet services (such as chiselapp), too.

There are many computer games that don't need internet connection. Some of them, but not all of them, are designed for older computer systems such as NES/Famicom, which can be emulated on many computers, so it doesn't matter what operating system you are on, it will likely work.

Better documentation is helpful. Describe the program, the protocols, file formats, etc. This is how to learn working with computer. Other programs doing same kind of things can differ in many more ways other than only the branding though; some have different features, source code availability, etc.

I think they were kinda rare so I was fortunate to grow up in a city with a retail Heathkit store?

Was too young to really appreciate it or take advantage of the kits, I would ride my bicycle there and look at everything though and get the latest catalog. All I was able to afford/build was an AM radio.

Watching the Heathkit computers come out in the TRS-80 days was amazing.

I have sometimes wondered if we could consider specific solar and wind energy sites as 100% clean if we could calculate their carbon costs and actively take actions to counter carbon release to at least that amount. E.g., if a 1 KM solar farm took 12 Tons of Carbon and 1 tree sequesters 25 Kilos of Carbon per year, then we could start a forest of 500 trees using the Miyawaki Method and keep it thriving.

I have come across messages stating that Trees sequester Carbon for now only to release it all eventually, but Trees provide much more. They provide oxygen, a habitat for animal and insect life, they cool down an area, help attract clouds for rain, hold together the ground soil to prevent erosion, etc.

We ought to be reforesting and afforesting land again to compensate for all the cover that we've lost. Ensuring forests would help carbon-offset the carbon-load required to set up Low Carbon energy sources for locations that need them.
I meant from the customer side who is spending the money, because kids generally don't have that much discretionary income.
Is Google search getting worse?
I work at Google and I do all my work in chrome, email, chat, IDE, ssh, docs/slides/sheets, etc. I used to use iterm and vim but during wfh I converged all my work into the browser and it's been pretty convenient accessing everything from the same interface.

I know Google is not like most places and that a lot of web apps suck, but when the web apps work well, it's pretty nice, at least for my workflow
I've used soooo many alternative desktop concepts. They all seem great at first until you realize one thing. They have to be 100% perfect all the time. That one time you need to find something super important and the methods don't work. You are up the creek without a paddle. You don't even know how to begin searching or repairing a lost file situation.

Unfortunately computers are no where near reliable enough for a paradigm shift. I will always have a better mental model of my data then the PC will at this time. Especially for important stuff. If I have to keep the old ways for important stuff than there is little point to learn a new paradigm for my pointless stuff.
It's an idea that gets resurrected every so often too, and I want to say that it's been revisited lately as some articles on DefenceOne and TheWarZone have suggested.

There was the idea of the "Sea Control" ship in the 70s that would have built on this idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Control_Ship

For small-scale conflicts however, it's somewhat paradoxical that a large carrier is what you need. Putting airpower over land from a carrier requires throwing a lot of weight into the air to put an aircraft with both an effective warload and a useful loiter time. This is coupled with a large sortie rate, as the time it takes to get a warplane on station is long and needs to be replaced often. That adds up to a lot of launches.

All of that is to say then that you need a larger carrier, ideally with a catapult and the powerplant to fire it often. Skijumps and STOVL don't get you that kind of range except to the beach.

So for any kind of land strike mission, you really need a big fleet carrier. But for sea operations, smaller carriers are looking more feasable, so the idea is coming around again. The America class as you mentioned is likely going down this path, and Japan's Izumo-class is likely going to go down this route as well.
It's more than one OOM, closer to two. From what I remember, MSMSGS used few dozen MB at most, since typical machines of the time had between 64 and 256MB of RAM. Meanwhile, I've seen Teams go over 4GB simply being idle, and others have reported much worse.
There are some differences between Android phone, so it's difficult to judge if you don't list the right one.
My father had a similar experience building the Heathkit color TV. In his case, the problem was his use of a giant soldering iron - suitable for soldering gutters, I think. Fortunately he knew a Bell Telephone repairman who resoldered all the connections, and we had color TV.

Not sure precisely where you draw the prosumer line, but the article is also comparing the prices on the same models of pro camera over time and still seeing an upwards trend.

I'd suspect this means that smartphones eating the middle-tier of cameras has had a spillover effect to also hurt the pro/prosumer market. I'd speculate that although even a cheap DSLR is still better than a good smartphone camera, the phones are good enough that the upgrade (and hassle) doesn't appeal to most people. Thus the high end market shrinks despite not being competed with on its own terms.
Somewhere in this chain, someone was being sarcastic.

I absolutely agree that we need to move away from the idea of physical folders. The file hierarchy IS very useful way of categorizing your data, but a file should be able to belong to multiple categories. That's why we have hard links, but I digress.

I wrote an emacs package called SFS(search file system) to solve exactly this set of problems. It is just an interface on top of the excellent Recoll full-text indexer. Among other things, SFS allows you to create hierarchies of queries, the search analog of a folder hierarchy. A parent "directory" is just the logical OR of all of it's content named queries. Everything works great for me, but the installation process is a bit painful(especially cross-platform), and indexing can take a serious amount of time and space initially, so I would say it's still a ways from being really comfy to use. But it is totally possible to have your own little google for your file system. I have gifs on the GitHub page to at least give you an idea:

So, it's really basic economics. The middle of the market is getting eating by what used to be the bottom. So all that's left is the top
