I hope you enjoy and I would love a first poster!
As I said in my other comment, the author is just trying to get page views for criticisms that have already been raised, usually by the author in previous posts. There is nothing new here.
Magnesium solved two problems for me: stiff muscles and insomnia.

Scientific information about how magnesium works is hard to come by. Here's what I have been able to gather from various sources: The cells in your body need calcium to go into "on state". To go into "off state" magnesium has to go in and displace calcium.

When your body is low on magnesium your muscles can't go into "off state" and your muscles become stiff. To relax you need an Epsom salt bath (it contains magnesium) or just take magnesium supplements.

When your brain cells can't go to "off state" you can't sleep. You need magnesium to help your brain cells go into off state. However the "blood brain barrier" (look it up) prevents magnesium from easily entering the brain. Magnesium l-threonate (that's a compound of magnesium, not a brand name) can pass through this barrier and help you sleep.

I have had sleep issues for many years. I saw many doctors including sleep specialists but all they wanted to do is put me on prescription meds. But these meds are addictive and you have to take it for the rest of your life. I didn't want that. These are "quick fixes". As a software developer I was interested in finding the underlying problem and fix that, as opposed to the quick fixes that the medical community was offering me.

A breakthrough came when I saw a naturopathic doctor for my stiff muscles and she advised me to take Epsom salt baths. That seemed to help. I investigated more and found out that the ingredient in Epsom salt that helped me is magnesium. Then I found out that you can actually get magnesium pills and tried that. That worked remarkably well. But the big surprise was that I slept better the night I tried the magnesium pill. Since then I have been researching how it is that magnesium helped me sleep.

Stress depletes magnesium in your body. If you are a software developer you are stressing your brain all day when you do your job and you are depleting magnesium. Low magnesium levels causes muscle issues as well as sleep issues. Magnesium supplements solve the problem.

It is very unfortunate that medical doctors don't seem to be very knowledgeable about this topic. When I see doctors I mention that I am taking magnesium for muscle and sleep issues and they seem surprised, but no doctor has yet told me that I am wrong.

Note that magnesium is a natural mineral, not a drug, essential for your body, and found in many foods. Excess amounts of magnesium can cause a laxative effect, but this is very temporary.
Engineered genetic mutation that grants supermarket tomatoes mechanical properties of a tennis ball and making them always red (instead of normal green to red transition) is also responsible for the lack of normal tomatoe flavor.
Presumably Microsoft will aggressively push developers to use Windows 11-only APIs to encourage adoption. I hate it, but it seems likely.

Even the most die-had MS user is not excited about Windows and hasn't been for the last decade.

Operating systems are finished products at this point.
To think that all of this Microsoft bullshit could be the propeller for Linux adoption, if only Linux developers had good taste and had developed something worthy of replacing Windows for the average user.

PHE are doing one too:-

>>PHE scientists working on the study have concluded naturally acquired immunity as a result of past infections provide 83% protection against reinfection, compared to people who have not had the disease before. This appears to last at least for 5 months from first becoming sick.
This does appear to be related to bad engineering or engineers that do not understand how to program safety systems.

Reminds me of the farmer who peeks out of the basement after a big storm, and reports back to his wife: "Good news and bad news. The bad news is, our barn blew down. The good news is, all the neighbors' barns blew down too!"
Selling an extremely expensive piece of hardware while acknowledging that you intend on making it obsolete in 4 years time, for arbitrary reasons sounds pretty bad to me. And who cares if it's niche.
Ahem.

You can buy an Intel iMac today, new from Apple, that will not run Windows 11.

Yes, Apple still sells an iMac with a 7th generation Dual-Core Intel i5. For $1099. No, you should not buy one, but... there it is.

Ah yes, food snobbery at its finest. Quality and garbage is generally easy to distinguish by price and taste, and shopkeepers discretion. And I really don't understand what part of the parm making process is necessary to happen in central/northern italy vs anywhere else in the world.
As much as 90% of the US population may be deficient in vitamin D, so you have a good chance of it. That said, I agree that testing is good, either before or after supplementation.

It's because supermarket tomatoes are picked green, stored cold, and artificially ripened with ethylene gas.
Perhaps, but the statement is wrong because of how it portrays suicide, not because of the motivations for making it.

Furthermore, I believe trying to understand suicide as driven by a single cause is detrimental. Suicide is a complicated issue, and is driven by numerous factors.

Trying to reduce any complex issue to a single factor sets anyone who wants to help at a disadvantage, and may contribute to the problem.
You should check out OCaml, Rust or Scala.
"Seemingly". 3 authors that are not from the field (a psychologist studying/teaching various esoteric topics, a radiation physicist and an "independent data scientist" I can't find much about) weirdly mixing cherry-picked data to come to a conclusion that means that a 5-digit number of people have already died from covid vaccines. E.g. they calculate some estimation of how many people need to be vaccinated to prevent 1 death based on data for not-fully-vaccinated people, and then take events reported in side-effect databases (which by design collect as many reports as possible, without establishing a causal link between treatment and side-effect), cherry-picked for the country with the largest number of reports, as "deaths caused by vaccine" and extrapolate that.

+1 especially the bits about how No Deal is better than a Bad Deal (that was a massive realization for me).

What makes the book unique is how the emphasis is on the emotional aspect of negotiation rather than the pure rational, as rarely are negotiations emotion-free. Furthermore, it's important to be empathetic with your opposing party to understand their viewpoint, and how the enemy isn't your opponent, rather the issue at stake.

I see a good amount of overlap with the other excellent book Nonviolent Communication.
The varieties you see in a supermarket are optimized for industrial farming and yes, transportation is one of the things they optimize for. The tomato specifically, though, lost most of it's flavor purely for aesthetic reasons [1]. Consumers have an image of the perfectly round red tomato so all the farmers optimized for it, losing at least one critical gene that contributed significantly to flavor and sugar production.

Those varieties have mostly out competed everything else in farmers markets and supermarkets but if you buy seeds online from specialized stores and grow them yourself, you can unlock an entire universe of flavor. Personally, I've never found a supermarket fruit or vegetable that tastes as good as the ones I have grown or eaten in countries with less industrialized farming, with the exception of designer varieties like cotton candy grapes, cosmic crisp apples, or sumo mandarins (though their quality is rapidly falling as they go from coddled breeding labs to industrial scale). I don't think I've had a "proper" strawberry, blueberry, or raspberry since I moved to the United States.

Yes, it's true.

Each ordinal appears at the day with its number; e.g., omega (first infinite ordinal, kinda corresponds to aleph-zero) appears on day omega, 2^omega appears on day 2^omega, etc., etc. There is a day for each ordinal.

There are whatever large cardinals the underlying set theory has. (Though Conway took the view that rather than building the apparatus of surreal numbers on top of a particular set theory like ZFC, you should think of this as its own theory that resembles set theory but has two different kinds of "set membership" (left and right) and someone should prove a theorem saying that such things are always at least as consistent as ZFC...)

I don't think large cardinals play any particular role in the theory of surreal numbers, games, etc.

I got myself into the habit of opening transactions before doing anything that could alter data by hand.
Huge panic-saver.

Even earlier, I got into the habit of typing the where clause before typing the from clause. Not much of a change, but it feels more fail-safe.
STOC 2021 and BosonSampling
That is pure speculation. Seems to me the far more simple explanation is that Washington is the traditional home that had decades of buildup and engineering and tightly integrated. Not to mention massive amounts of engineering talent in the region.

While the South Carolina plant was probably set up in a place with far less history, far less integration with engineering, far less historical knowledge and far less engineering talent in the area.

And quite likely a much smaller overall labor pool willing to move there.
+1 for Beej’s. I took a networking course at UCLA that used it as the textbook and it was great.
I've only given the following a cursory glance, but it doesn't look like consumers had much to do with the speed increase. Instead, Comcast was concerned with being called out on price gouging in Baltimore [0]. Or they increased their minimum speed without increasing the price [1,2] - which I'd think implies Baltimore had a point about the price gouging.

So while some people may have been able to buy better internet before, the data doesn't support that it was affordable, if it was even available at all.

It says nowhere that it is for OEMs, this is not the Windows Logo program which is for OEMs; and in fact, some of the CPUs mentioned are not on the market anymore.

The article is quite transparently a forum post.
This sounds like "rich people problems", albeit effective in creating some buzz.
I know that's true and I hear you :) - the challenge is to get a large community like this to understand and respect how differently things land among the different subgroups in the community. I mean, an internet forum is in one way an utterly trivial thing and at the same time, if we can really get this right it is actually a contribution to the practice of peace in the world, which is not a trivial thing at all. A strange incongruity.

I wrote about that here if you (or anyone) are interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098
Thank you for mentioning Rust in Action.
The short answer is that proteins are too complex to manufacture, and it’s more effective to instruct your body (which has a lot of protein manufacturing capacity) to produce the protein.

There are attempts to use peptides. They are much shorter chains of amino acids , they are easy to produce, but it’s difficult to find peptides that reproduce the external structure of the virus. There is an experimental Russian vaccine based on peptides, but the results haven’t been published yet.
I'm also a huge Taleb fan. However for a first book, I'd recommend his Antifragile book instead since it was written 10 years later in his career and further explores the ideas addressed in Fooled by Randomness with the benefit of more hindsight and discussion with peers in the field.

For anyone interested, I discuss the key takeaways from Antifragile, specifically for software engineers in https://youtu.be/jP6UQPSAk58.

It's all in the Mueller report and I'm not digging out quotes from a 500 page document to repeat what is already known, just because you don't like the facts, I'm sorry.
This is not the Windows Logo program, which is intended for OEMs.

There do not need to be any CPUID checks to exclude processors; just a random update will not work and Microsoft will shrug it off, well, that CPU is not on the supported list anyway.
>sort of reasonable I guess

What part of that is reasonable exactly? As far as I can tell the TPM only weakens security by storing the keys in a separate computer, once there's an exploit with that someone physically attacking your computer could easily exfiltrate keys where they couldn't if you're just typing a passphrase into EG cryptsetup.
> Pretty sure C# is typed.

Not in the way that the word is used in the link.
You are mis-interpreting what they did. They literally took vim, and built a ui around it. No re-implementation. It's Vim with a more modern frontend stack. You can go look at the libvim source and see it for yourself.

The point of this is to bring Vim into more modern workflows, not but "vim compat" but literally... vim.

Source: had some pull requests into libvim a while back to remove a lot of the various legacy compat features that don't make sense for libvim.
Microsoft has made no secret of how long its hardware support lasts. If anything, the total of six years is longer than the Surface average of ~5.

The Windows 11 announcement changes nothing in this regard.

Edit: The first gen Surface Studio was also about five years (2016 - 2021).

I'm not sure why (or if) you think that contradicts anything I said. The forum post was something that would absolutely play into Bob Livingston's biases, and I thought it was useful to point out what those biases were.
Thanks for sharing this, that's very insightful.

Also, at least on the performance/gaming side, Intel's latest chips are huge, hot-running power hogs. Since they are so far behind in process technology, they've been compensating by making huge dies and pushing the TDP. It's pretty bad.

Don't forget different Unicode code points for the same character, like U+4B/U+212A(/U+39A/U+41A/...).
I've been tackling the opposite. Product specs their thing which is completely disconnected from the reality of what is actually needed. This creates massive levels of frustration for the end user.
And they don't have to. They can keep using the PC they have until 2025. After that, there's always Linux Mint.
You're kidding. The OpenGL implementation/support of Mac is pretty nonexistent/poor.
How much magnesium are we talking about here?

I actually have magnesium in my supplement drawer : "Magnesium Carbonate from natural sources" - it says take 2 grams, max 4 grams and let it "sit in cold water for 10 minutes, or warmer water for 10 seconds" before drinking.

Is that the range you are taking and is the l-threonate form much better, ie. is carbonate useless?

Interested in trying this out later this night..
Speaking of Krisp, I’m curious about other people’s experiences using their noise suppression with Discord.

I personally had it enabled (by accident) for over a week, and during that week I noticed people were either ignoring me or not hearing me. I discovered it was the latter when I disabled the noise suppression option. Krisp was suppressing my voice in addition to noise.

Other people I know who’ve tried it have had similar results, so I’m wondering if we’re using it wrong or if Krisp just isn’t worth using at this point.
I know people like this too; grown up adults with crippling food aversions. Combining it with a sedentary lifestyle is a great way to cut a decade or two off a person's life, not to mention the pain and disability of diabetes.
From the article:

> That means non-EU farmers and exporters take a direct hit. When the EU wins
protection for, say, Italian Parmesan and Greek feta in a deal with Japan, it
means that Australian and U.S. dairies are barred from selling their products
there under those labels. They instead have to rebrand and use labels such as
"Parmesan-style," which often turn off consumers who may see the products as
unauthentic.

Because they are! For example, as far as I can tell, most of the "feta" cheese
made in the US is made with cow's milk, whereas Greek feta is traditionally made
with sheep's milk and up to 30% goat's milk. This part of the tradition is
protected by the feta Protected Designation of Origin.

Btw, cheese made in the same way as feta, but with cow's milk, is instead known
as "telemes" in Greek (and I think telemea in Romania). Telemes is also a Greek
PDO cheese. So the cow's milk "feta" sold in the US should be more correctly
labelled as "telemes", but of course "feta" is more recognisable. On the other
hand, the Greek diaspora that the article alleges are dismayed by the EU GIs
should know the difference between feta and telemes, or at least they should if
they have brought their cheesemaking traditions with them to the New World,
again as the article alleges, and so they should be more annoyed that telemes is
sold as feta in the US and that nobody can find a good slab of feta in the
entire US.

But I digress. The article continues:

> To some, the very idea of signing away their heritage still rankles, however.
"The Old World supplied the immigrants. It seems to be very weird that you’re
saying that people can’t take culture with them," said one dairy negotiator who
declined to be named for fear of influencing current negotiations with the EU.

It's not that weird. Even in EU countries, not everyone can make a particular
kind of food or drink that has a Protected Designation of Origin. This may be
lost in translation, in the article, but for example Parmigiano Reggiano can
only be made in (quoting from wikipedia):

the provinces of Reggio Emilia, Parma, the part of Bologna west of the Reno,
and Modena (all in Emilia-Romagna); and the part of Mantua (Lombardy) on the
right/south bank of the Po. Parmigiano is the Italian adjective for Parma and
Reggiano that for Reggio Emilia.

So for instance, cheesemakers in Puglia or Sicily cannot make parmesan style
cheese and call it "Parmigiano Regiano", even though they're Italians. In the
same way, the feta cheese PDO only covers the Greek regions of Thessaly, Thrace,
Epirus, Macedonia, Central Greece, Peloponse and Lesvos, so Greek cheesemakers
in the Ionian islands cannot sell their cheese as "feta" and must sell it as
"white cheese" instead. And so on.

If Italians can't make Parmigiano regiano because they're not in Reggio Emilia,
and Greeks can't make feta in Greece because they're in the wrong area of
Greece, it is not so far fetched that Canadian Greeks can't make feta in Canada.
