The paper says "The highest food sources of magnesium are leafy greens (78 mg/serving), nuts (80 mg/serving), and whole grains (46 mg/serving)..."

So five servings every day of nuts and/or leafy greens would do it, but that doesn't sound like anybody's typical diet.
Home grown tomatoes are typically much better tasting/more flavorful than the store bought ones, so I think there is probably something to this.
It works in the aggregate in a tragedy of the commons sort of way, but social security taxes will just keep ratcheting up so everyone who didn’t save enough get a basic level of retirement (old people vote reliably, and there are a lot of poor old people on the horizon), probably with means testing starting in 10-15 years. I suppose that’s the best we can hope for considering humans and their terrible risk management and long term decisioning ability, and there’s clearly enough wealth and productivity for government to sink its teeth into. If the private sector couldn’t do it with 401ks or pensions on the front end, government can do transfer payments (social security) and taxes on the backend.

> but it's unclear what happens for other types of UB.

Yeah, strictly speaking we don't care as much what it does in specific cases of undefined behaviour (eg signed integer overflow), since compiler bugs in any specific case, while infuriating, can be worked around on a case-by-case basis (eg, warning on any null pointer check that comes after a dereference). The real concern is what happens in the arbitrarily-large number of cases that don't get specific attention.
> how accurately we can predict battery life

You do remember that Windows nowadays only shows "Battery xy %" instead of giving an estimated runtime, right? (Which is, btw., a "holy fuck what braindead idiot thought removing this is a good idea" moment, at first I thought Windows wasn't giving an estimate only in the first few minutes, but after a while I started googling around thinking that the lack of estimated runtime was a bug, but no, someone actually went in and removed it. A very clear and obvious example of actively, explicitly and intentionally user-hostile UX for what sure seems like no other reason than "we could, so we did".)

How do we know all of these anecdotes (on Quora and here) aren't survivorship bias? How many people have left software development in their 40's, for something else (management, etc)?

Specifically, can we get figures to back it up, and not just lists of anecdotes?

Because in my own anecdotal experience I have always have had more peers younger than me than older than me, across my ~15 years of engineering (I'm in my early 40's, and started programming as a career late).

Crimea is part of the Ukraine. Just because it was invaded because Russia needs that strategic port doesn't mean it is not worth standing up to Russia.

Wouldn't a strong Ukraine make the UK safer?

Probably zero.
Social security and Medicare are supposed to provide a floor and prevent elderly poverty. We’ve gotten much much richer (which somehow previous generations never get any credit for) and so that floor seems a lot lower than it used to.

Beyond keeping the elderly out of poverty I’m not sure there’s a problem to solve. If people would rather drive a BMW in their 30s than play golf in their 70s who am I to tell them they are wrong?

Yes, grass fed is necessary because of the omega 3 to 6 ratio. This is even more important if you are targeting autoimmune. And don’t sleep on the organs, I have found that those are important to immune-tangential things as well.

Another note: you don’t get dehydrated because of ketosis and glycolysis. You get dehydrated because you stop making insulin, insulin tells your body to hold on to water. The only other thing that does that is sodium. Not potassium, sodium. On this diet you are replacing insulin with sodium. Make sure to have very high fat and at least 5 grams of sodium chloride per day.

There are different types of selling. I worked for IBM from 1984 to 1992 and they had an entire training process for their customer-facing people that included a two week sales school for reps at the end. It was tailored to enterprise sales which are specialized but many of the techniques apply to other types of selling, especially high ticket items. There is an older book out there called How to Master the Art of Selling by a guy (Hopkins?) that is pretty close. It covers the cycle including skills like objection handling. It's very effective.
The shortage isn't that much a result from the pandemic and people doing more DIY-projects, but because the US and China (and also Germany, if we talk about local wood) are building a lot of houses. China buys more wood from Germany now that Russia has set an export ban on wood. The only odd thing which I see is that the export ban is supposed to start in January 2022 [1] so I don't understand why China is already starting to buy more wood from Germany.

Also they often don't do crop rotation to balance out the soil. Part of that is to run animals over the land for that all important fertilizer. Also don't let the soil rest.
Frankly, it seems to me like it's rather relatively simple thing to regulate. We already mandate things like adding vitamins to milk or flour. Extending this to vegetables really doesn't seem like big problem: farmers would just have to buy magnesium-enriched fertilizer.

> Apart from being mathematically completely unlikely we're alone in the Universe

That's a false assumption, since we don't know the probability of our existence. If the probability is low enough, then it's not "completely unlikely". Particularly if you limit it to our galaxy, since there's little reason to suppose aliens in another galaxy would know of us, let alone make a trip millions of light years.

> if you go and read dozens of reports and accounts about alien encounters, most of them match with one another.

You can say the same thing for similar religious experiences and various other paranormal phenomena. But what's more likely, that human psychology combined with Earth-based phenomena is the answer, or that aliens travelled light years to mess with us?

I think using the word issues here is diluting the facts. A more accurate wording would use disasters or catastrophes.
And less tasty. One of my in-laws started an organic garden solely to supply a local hotel down the country and she gave us a big box of vegetables when we were leaving after a visit.

It was very revealing. Everything she gave us had distinct and powerful tastes that were blatantly lacking from their supermarket equivalents (including the ones that say Organic on the label). The garlic blew my mind: I used the usual number of cloves in a recipe and ... well ... we were reeking.
I’d recommend using pip-tools. It doesn’t require any special tooling to install requirements. However, pip-tools will allow you to specify only your top level dependencies in separate files, and it will compile those into requirements.txt files with all dependencies (including sub-dependencies) locked.

Sure, but that's not what was up for debate in the comment chain you were responding to. That was specifically about how well it handles "recent" games. Not how well it handles old but still popular games. WoW also runs great under Wine for example afaik.

I'm not diminishing the value of games like that running well under Wine, I think it's great. But it's not the same as "recent" games running well.

As one of the GPs points out anti-cheat is unfortunately another big hurdle. CS:GO works great because VAC runs in user-mode and Valve go out of their way to specifically detect Wine and adjust behavior as appropriate (I reverse engineered it extensively some years ago). I think EAC has a native Linux client, but many of the big names are still unplayable.

If you try to play Valorant, Apex, Siege, Warzone, PUBG, etc. my understanding is they'll barely even launch, let alone allow you to join a multiplayer match.
Note that this lab leak theory is, at the current stage, still a theory. At best, time will tell whether it was true.
Waymo Motion Prediction Challenge 2021: 3rd place solutiuon
Our team (me, Stepan Konev, Kirill Brodt) was awarded 3rd place within the Waymo Motion Prediction Challenge 2021.

To plan a safe and efficient route, an autonomous vehicle should anticipate future motions of other agents around it. Motion prediction is an extremely challenging task that recently gained significant attention from the research community. We present a simple and yet very strong baseline for multimodal motion prediction based purely on Convolutional Neural Networks.

The task is the following: Given agents' tracks for the past 1 second on a corresponding map, we had to predict the positions of the agents on the road for 8 seconds into the future.

Our model takes a raster image centered around a target agent as input and directly predicts a set of possible trajectories along with their confidences. The raster image is obtained by rasterisation of a scene and the history of all the agents. While being easy-to-implement, the proposed approach achieves competitive performance compared to the state-of-the-art methods on the Waymo Open Dataset Motion Prediction Challenge (2021): Our model ranks 1st using minimum average displacement error and 3rd using mAP score.

We wrote a small paper and release our code!

It’s not wrong at all. The amount of edible carbohydrates we ate then was basically nothing compared to the astounding amount of carbohydrates we eat now. We eat almost nothing else. Our bodies aren’t meant to be flooded with carbohydrates all the time, and chronic disease and diabetes is the result. Our ancestors didn’t have diabetes and it’s becoming clear that exercise doesn’t fill the gap.

There is no diet plan. They don’t sell you anything that you need in order to do the diet. And it’s just video testimony, long interviews from all kinds of people who experience things like sudden pregnancy. I have looked through all of this and practically everything else out there about this and it’s not a scam. I have never believed in or practiced a diet before in my life. I have never fallen for a scam in my entire life. It’s real.
The taxpayer benefits by paying tomorrow for a sandwich today. Government employees trade lower cash compensation for stability and more secure benefits.

I’m sure you get upset when you read about some big company charging billions for some mismanaged project. That’s generally the alternative.

You may not feel an obligation for your government to follow the law and responsibly manage its obligation to pay some 70 year old former librarian her modest pension. Hopefully your understanding about government not meeting obligations holds when you can’t get to work because a highway bridge is closed due to deferred maintenance, or your parents don’t get adequate care because your state health department fails to effectively regulate nursing facilities.
I think the article makes a good point about the arbitrary red line drawn between two CPU generations with no justification whatsoever, but "heaps of trash" isn't the strongest argument against this. Arguably, Intel releasing new CPUs causes that even more heaps of trash, probably orders of magnitude more than Windows. It's a silly argument IMHO.
This doesn't really help you now (sorry), but maybe it will help others in Germany in your situation.

In Germany, there's a 24/7 bank-independent hotline (116 116) you can call if one of your cards gets stolen/lost or if you suspect problems with online banking. Something similar would certainly be useful for other countries as well.
I cannot get to the entire article (paywalled) -- but I will point out an issue I know is plaguing US municipal and state pensions.

Aside from the permanent administrative staff, many funds are in the hands and political control of people generally wholly unqualified to understand and manage them, and who have at most their elected positions on the line if it goes badly. It's not their money, so what does it matter if they just apply expertise to the fund's management with all the part-time attention of a high schooler?

The amount of rank amateurism in deciding the fate of many, many billions of dollars is incredible. Like less-than-Excel spreadsheet sophistication.

Take a couple of general examples:

-- Many state/local funds estimate or forecast some optimistic annual return % when they set the benefits level. Then they never revisit or adjust contributions to account for when the market returns fall. Or they do absolutely stupid things like increase benefits when a certain year looks better than average ("our hard working state employees deserve to participate in gains in the market, blah blah blah")

-- They'll set labor contracts with no eye towards what the promised benefits will cost 25 years from now. Who cares? The elected officials now won't be around when the bill comes due, and the incentives to not get tossed out of office for being responsible and clamping down on the expensive party are much more real than paying a few dollars more decades from now.

-- My favorite example: under years of mismanagement of rank amateurs (as I named above), Detroit discovered that its pension fund had been habitually paying out "13th paychecks" each year -- an extra check in December above what was planned, as a xmas gift to employees/retirees, because "it looked like our fund was doing well, and these people need that money to make ends meet".

You may be surprised at how bad the situation is in every state and city (with few exceptions) thanks to the bad incentives that these systems create. And few rewards for people who are responsible enough to try to fix it before it becomes critical. People have been pointing to waves of bankruptcy and spiraling costs in the near future, for years now.

And you wonder why we can't fund infrastructure and other nice things.
I get the frustration with the requirements, but it is a little dramatic to say those machines who don’t meet the requirements will go straight in the trash. Those machines can still run Windows 10, and a lot of people will just keep using it. Why would people who don’t feel the need to upgrade to the newest hardware as soon as it is out feel the need to upgrade to the newest OS as soon as it comes out?
Why pour it in your diet when you can put it in a pill to eat directly along with 30 other vitamins?
And yet defined benefit pensions are pyramid schemes that are increasingly top-heavy and too many retirees and not enough workers to pay for their luxurious and impossible retirement benefits.

It is not possible for anyone to work 30 years and then retire for another 30 that pay out their end-of-career salary, that is likely artificially inflated with crazy overtime.

The pandemic relief bills included almost 90 billion dollars in free money to bailout pensions. Pensions are insolvent and require corrupt bailouts to stay alive. It’s all super super gross.
> but implementing a vim backend is a monumental task if you intend to be compatible with existing vim plugins

We skipped that and haven't implemented any vim backend at all!

We use/made libvim[1], which is just the vim source, that we've essentially turned into a library. So its the vim code base with terminal UI stuff stripped out, and an interface added for us to hook into it. The README of that repo has some good insight into that (including why we didn't use neovim here, as much as the team all loves nvim).

We don't support vimscript stuff at the moment, but its in progress as all the vim source code is there to load/run it as normal, its just about integrating is properly into Oni2 (making sure keybinds are working, commands are properly loaded, packing stuff up nicely for distrib etc).

(There is some other motivation bits in this doc[2]. Its outdated since we haven't edited it since before the project started, but it outlines the motivations we went in with etc).

That is a very poor analysis and it reads like someone is trying to fire cheap shots at strawmen.

> This is what Assange’s boosters are now staking his defense on: convincing you to accept the words of liars as truth.

The people this article calls "Assange boosters" aren't rallying behind this person or claiming that he's not lying now, they're saying: "This man is a pathological liar either way, can't be trusted, and thus is useless as a witness. This man's words carry precisely zero weight at this point, whatever he claims."

That blog entry goes on to address a bunch of other strawmen that resemble no argument made in this HN thread. I don't know why you would link it.
It's good that you are backing your opinion with facts. That's a great start to a rational debate. I don't think the muslims in the region were referred to as Palestinians at the time but it is a fact that they were the majority (I could nitpick specific regions and numbers but sure, as a rule I'd agree). Do you have any reference to their strong opposition? (it sounds reasonable though, so quite likely, but let's differentiate facts from opinions). My counter is that the reason the Jewish population was a minority at the time was that Jews were expelled from the area and prevented from returning. I do support the Balfour Declaration. There are other reasons for my support, such as the persecution of Jews in other countries.

Let's say we have this debate and you convince me, and I agree with you, that the Balfour Declaration was "wrong"(?) because it's not "right" to say people X should take location Y as their country while the locals are not consulted with. Not sure that really gets us anywhere. Lots of countries "exist" without Britain bothering to have declared that they should be countries and lots of countries exist because Britain and France arbitrarily made them so. Saudi Arabia pretty much owns its existence to similar circumstances, the British war on the Ottoman empire. But sure it is part of the long and relevant history of the region.

You can also say the UN should not have passed resolution 181. Again, not sure where that's gonna lead us.

If anyone is still reading this thread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration for reference.

If you have issues with the Balfour Declaration presumably those should be taken up with Britain?

Anyhow, at the end of the day, I think you're saying that despite the long and documented history of the Jewish people to the land of Israel the fact that the Jewish people were a minority in the area for a lengthy amount of time means that they have no right to that area at all. My counter would be that pretty much any country anywhere in the world doesn't actually satisfy your requirements and that if anything the Jewish people have a stronger "right" to that land than most other people living in other countries. And then you'll disagree. And we'll agree to disagree. And the question of how to resolve the situation today remains.
