It's not a myth. Your post just confirms this. The reason why beans and rice are combined is because they form complementary proteins. The combination of the two are a complete protein taken together. This was my response to the parent comment. The parent implied the need to combine either rice or beans with another protein is a myth. Beans and rice are both incomplete proteins. The combination of beans and rice is not a myth. People combine beans and rice because each of them have some of the amino acids you need, both of them together have all of them.

I wonder if there's anyone on earth who needs nicely formatted human readable file sizes that's worried about the difference between one or two cpu cycle branching instructions?

There might be a few guys at FAANG who have a planet-scale use case for human readable file sizes. But surely "performance optimising" this is _purely_ code golf geekiness?

(Which is a perfectly valid reason to do it, but I'm gonna choose the most obvious to the next progerammer reading it version over one that 50% or 500% or 5000% fast in almost any use case I can think I'm like to need this... I mean, it's only looking for 6 prefixes "KMGTPE" a six line case statement would work for most people?)

You're right, the crux of the argument is whether you believe wallets have authority. I regularly interact with crypto, have participated in ICO's and have bought and sold NFT's. People who are into NFT's do believe in the authority of wallets. Granted, they are about authoritative as a hacker news display name. I can ping the wallet and see if this wallets monikor has a large amount of crypto, see their past transactions, decentralized social media's, etc. A wallet only gains authority slowly as someone uses it. Say a particular NFT was sold by _X_, which is a big name who has sold alot of cool digital art in the past. If I duplicate the Art, or use a pointer to the same reference it was never generated, nor sold by _X_. The art is only half the story and within NFT's the other half is the transaction history and how you got it. It's cool to look at different transactions, how much it was sold for, etc. Also, dismissing NFT's because art is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There are alot more uses for them, it just seems like people like to talk trash on things other people just generally think are cool and quirky.

Mostly based on the 'science' out there. I probably know about 3 career scientists, I think, which is probably not a good sample.

>My understanding is that a lot of problems in science are incentive based, and that would look very similar to someone just not knowing things from the outside.

I can agree that a lot of it may be probably incentive based vs 'scientists' just not being smart enough. But is is hard to glean what the proportions are. I still suspect ( based on a general assessment of people both known and on the internet) that it is the latter.

It's a common American (but maybe elsewhere too?) attitude to feel something is being taken from you when another person is gaining -- in this case, it's you moving efficiently through traffic while they stand still.

I remember reading, some years ago, about how lawyers who couldn't find work would be stuck doing document review, and they would rant on the internet about how mind-numbing, low-paid, and degrading it was. But they'd be stuck, because it was the only option to pay off student loans.

I assume at some point the job was mostly offshored? It's one of those things that I wonder if people overseas would do a better job even at the same price, if they saw it as a great job, as opposed to Americans who see it as a badge of failure.

It's not that you need all hands on deck 100% of the time. It's that having people take random days off week to week is very sub-optimal and youre liable to get outcompeted. You're no longer a well oiled machine at that point, but more of a janky chaotic mess.

Why is it that mirrors flip your image left to right, but not top to bottom?

That’s a question that Richard Feynman supposedly asked his grad students. Once you answer it, I think you’ll realize that #1 is anything but trivial.

Answer below, stop reading this comment if you want to figure it out on your own.

It’s because you’re comparing the mirror image to what you’d look like if you walked around the mirror, instead of to what you’d look like if you floated over the top. This assumption of horizontal travel is incredibly deeply engrained in humans, to the point that the English language doesn’t even have up/down equivalents to the words “left” and “right”, i.e. a word that means the direction closer to your head than to your feet regardless of your orientation.
This is of course why we now have QUIC now, and why it's explicitly designed to be as opaque as practically possible to middleboxes.

I was surprised that the JWT is being sent as a POST param, instead of its more traditional place in an Authorization header

Kind of related, kind of not: I was also surprised to see the API request include the accountId in the URI when it's present in the JWT -- is that an implementation concession allowing a future where one AccountId (from the auth perspective) is able to control multiple "{accountId}" URIs?

Definitely related to that: I was surprised to see the QueuesList response send back what I presume is the same accountid that was present in the URI, repeated for every QueueName

I think the MessageReceive example copy-pasted the "MessageBody" field from its MessageSend friend, and the MessageDelete example is missing its "ReceiptHandles" that is mentioned in the description

Good luck on your adventure!

> return String.format("%.1f %sB", bytes / Math.pow(unit, exp), pre);

As a human, the first thing that I hate about this interpretation of "human readable" format is inconsistency in the number of significant digits. One digit after decimal separator is simply wrong, as when you jump from 999.9 MB to 1.0 GB you go from 4 significant digits to 2, instead it should be 1.000 GB, 10.00 GB and so on. This annoys me enormously when I upload things to Google Drive from Android phone and look at the number of data transferred as as soon it becomes bigger than 1 GB digits stop changing and I become anxious that it stopped the transfer and my Windows Phone nostalgia jumps over the roof (as WP was never infected with this problem by virtue of not using Java, and OneDrive on WP explicitly showed current connection speed, and frozen connection never caused any strange problems with uploaded files like it does on Google Drive on Android).

As a human not from US, the second thing I hate here is lack of locale parameter to pass to formatter as decimal separator is different in different cultures, and in the world of cloud computing the locale of the machine where the code is run is often different from the one where the message is displayed.

As a human from a culture using non latin alphabet, the third thing I hate here should be obvious for a reader.
Actually, I just realised. This is (probably a small part of) why "calculate all sizes" in Mac finder windows is so slow.

Does anyone with a medical background know how a drug with such performance would be used, if it turns out to be repeatable? According to the study, it results in slightly better outcomes than a placebo, but it's not like it's a cure or even a very strong medicine. It just helps a bit more than random. So how would one employ this? Are there other examples of drugs with similar performance being used?
We have automated updates of schema. Installs are on-prem, and we support running multiple versions of our program at the same time (if there's a bug in new version, just use previous as workaround).

We rarely drop columns due to this, but haven't found it to be a huge issue. If we need to, we'll wait until the last supported version that has the column in its schema is retired. Then we'll add an explicit "drop column" to our schema file for the next version.
I’m not in the payment space, but it seems like it’s rapidly commodifying. The hardware to support mag stripe, contactless, and EMV isn’t terribly expensive per unit, and as long as there’s some bare minimum functionality, the competitive edge is the processing cost.

This seems less about stealing customers and more about keeping Stripe attractive to existing customers who might be continually evaluating other payment providers and their hardware offerings.

Long term, we likely end up like China with WeChat and Alipay, using apps and QR codes primarily for payments eventually. Venmo and PayPal support C2C and C2B payments with QR codes, Zelle is beta testing them currently.

Use the referer, is my guess. Whereas browsers are starting to limit the sharing of referers, I don't think there are any plans to limit first party referers. So as long as the referer is your domain, you know the user navigated from within the site. Otherwise, the user followed a link offsite, likely shared by a friend. You can then assign a different tracking id to them.

The show is in a US theater, which will be open at full capacity. They policy right now is that you can only attend if you are fully vaccinated with one of the three vaccines currently authorized in the US by the FDA, and are requiring proof of vaccination.

Canada has authorized all the vaccines that the US has authorized plus AstraZeneca.

I wonder what happens if a Canadian who got one of the vaccines that is FDA approved wants to attend? Their vaccine is acceptable, but will they have a proof of vaccination that the theater accepts?

If the theater accepts Canadian proof of vaccination, I can't think of any good reason they should not allow in people who used AstraZeneca.
Yes. But if it flags you they won’t hire you.

The thing that worries me about the all powerful father figure who has a plan for you and that plan is objectively good (no matter what), is that it trivializes causation. There are plenty of people in my family that refuse to learn from life experiences or try new things because "the plan" is already set in stone, and it is good (by definition) so why change anything?
It's not just too little to register as salt, it's too little to alter taste at all. It's incidental, not deliberately included as part of the flavor. There's as much sodium in some tap waters, and in fact the sodium content of sodas varies by location because of variations in the source water.

Never mind it being "quite a bit of salt" or enough to "intensify craving."
I’m not a profesional musician, but I think it’s because of the lack of “boldness” of Smooth Jazz.

Jazz might sound like an “old” style, but it was always bold, and audacious genre. You don’t have a 10year span without someone kicking the table and experimenting with something completely new and crazy (for the time being). Jazz is also consumed by people that know a lot about music, and these people get “bored” pretty quickly if they’re not stimulated by bold moves and perfect execution.

And Miles had a lot to do with this (I didn’t read the article).

Btw, there’s nothing wrong if you like Smooth Jazz or Kenny G or whatever. Music is music. Whatever makes you feel good.
Late reply ;)

1. There would still be a Jewish majority given those numbers.

2. A democracy can have a constitution that can't be changed by a simple majority.

3. A minority can have a huge sway in a democracy, e.g. the small parties that form the balance in forming a coalition in Israel today.

4. The Jews and non-jews in Israel aren't exactly the homogeneous entities they are perceived to be. There's plenty of Jews and non-Jews/Palestinians who are closer in their cultural, political and even religious views than in between some Jews and some non-Jews.

5. The US could totally work with 200 million more Chinese. If I was a US citizen of Chinese origin I'd probably take this question as pretty offensive.

Anyhow, the precise formula, whether it's one "state" or a federation, or something along those lines can be figured out over time. The degree to which these populations are intertwined right now and the ongoing costs of the current situation are going to force this to happen. It's really the Israeli right that has been pushing in this direction all along, since in their book none of the land can be given up and obviously the Palestinians aren't gonna just move somewhere else.
