> it's a bit less than a lb a year

My whole point was that some amount of weight "a year" isn't how that would work. The only way you keep gaining weight every year is that if every year, you eat more and/or exercise less than you did the prior year. If you eat too much, but the same too much, every year, you'll be overweight, but you won't keep gaining weight every year forever.

> Contestants that starved themselves on the biggest loser showed a 500kcal reduction in RMR 6 years later.

That makes sense, since they lost a bunch of weight and RMR is tied to weight.
Great question! Yes, this was thought of and it's an approach that might still be taken. That said, I consider this to be a band-aid solution - IMO, just have a back-end to your app or a heavily optimized query interface like GraphQL. Once you are adding special endpoints for mostly just your UI, it's no longer strictly a general purpose API and the entire point of the design is moot.

If you end up in this position I consider it a design failure - most data-heavy apps are probably better off with a command/query API.
Following trends like virtual humans is interesting, and honestly I don't know what things might look like with virtual humans in 15 or 20 years - but I do wish reporting took care not to veer into P.R. territory.

Hm, what about a language like Joy or Factor? It is written sequentially, as a recipe, and (in the case of Factor) can have side effects. And yet it is deeply functional, because of the compositionality of words.

I really like Haskell, but I think Factor is going to be my next thing (although it needs better type system, like Kitten has attempted to), for the reason that it further simplifies Haskell's (already simple) syntax.
I mostly agree with this (provided you are sure you should be building an SPA in the first place, which is currently a massively over-used architectural pattern).

The one thing I disagree with is dismissing the idea "But we can reuse this API for the mobile app too!"

Depending on how you organization is structured, it can be common for the mobile app team to end up in need of APIs that aren't being delivered promptly.

Should that happen, having a web front-end that's entirely powered by APIs can level the playing field enormously - the website can no longer "cheat" and not bother with an API, which means the mobile team will get everything they need.
So they’ve completely abandoned restoring SALT deductions now? What a win for republicans, penalizing high tax blue states.
They had been facing lawsuits and legal scrutiny since 2007; the only parties that ever won were the legal departments. Until relatively recently, YouTube wasn’t even profitable, and Content ID itself was, according to Google, over $100 million of investment to develop over the years. Given the scale of YouTube, I actually think it’s fair to take this at face value.

Ultimately I am not a lawyer and I can’t analyze how and why the case ended the way it did. However, I do think it is obvious to anyone that Content ID is a key component of how YouTube managed to escape further lawsuits and legal scrutiny. And as can be seen in the Oracle case, fighting something all the way into legal precedence can backfire in enormously painful ways, like having APIs all be eligible for copyright.
There are about 900 employees of salesforce situated in TX.

It would, perhaps, send a stronger message of Salesforce position on the matter, if they stop selling to any business located in TX,

You see the logic, but you're using the first counter example you can think of to disregard it. (Coincidentally, computers used to be sold through dealers like Best Buy until the mid 80s)

There are 3,000 Chevy dealerships in the US (more than Best Buy and Apple stores combined). That's 3,000 businesses that Chevy doesn't need to prove the market for, pay property taxes on, hire salespeople for, insure, etc... all these dealerships have incentives to promote the manufacturers' brand and provide localized support. They do their own advertising too.

I'll go out on a limb and say Tesla will never have 3,000 locations. Ever. They won't want to maintain that much physical overhead (and they're nowhere near the capacity to produce inventory at that scale). This might mean you're driving 4+ hours to get service if you live somewhere like Maine, and if you want a new car next week... well, good luck (if you order a new Model Y now you might get it by early 2022 at best).

Again, maybe the dealer model is outdated, maybe it's bad... I don't know... but I wouldn't call dealerships "useless middlemen" or "completely stupid" – there are plenty of benefits that go back decades, and still exist today.

If all manufacturers stopped selling inventory to dealers tomorrow, you'd be totally screwed if you wanted to go buy a car. Even if you remove the annoying sales tactics and profit, dealerships are the entire infrastructure for the way manufacturers maintain inventory and sell cars.

I was using Middleman for a while, but then grew tired of all the dependencies I had to always keep up-to-date. I did the completely illogical thing and built my own static site generator, https://sitepress.cc/

A few years later and I ended up deleting most of it and replacing the internals with Rails. Now Sitepress is just a tiny rails application sitting on top of a bunch of files. Most of the maintenance and dependencies are handled by major Rails lib maintainers. If you’ve grown use to Rails helpers, they’re all there.

When you deploy it, you can compile it into static files and deploy as you’d expect, but you can also deploy it as a rails or rack app … or even embed it into an existing rails app.

When Rails 7.0 gets released I’ll drop JS importmaps into the default install for free and have my dream static site generator that doesn’t have a huge asset compilation step.

spend some time in a small town. specifically a small town in farm or oil country, where trucks are an essential work vehicle, and everybody buys a new one at $70-80k every 5 years.

the guy who owns the local car dealership runs the town. he's got money unlike anybody else in town does. some towns have rich farmers, or rich people who've made their money elsewhere, but unlike them the guy who owns the car dealership knows that his revenue stream depends on maintaining a good relationship with the town, and so he spends money like nobody else does. every local event, sports team, church function, whatever, it's always sponsored by at least one car dealership. and every congressperson who represents one of those districts knows that they really don't want to get on the wrong side of the car dealers.

Apple only dreams of having as much distributed local political power as the car dealers do.

Don't bother looking back. I would encourage you to consider GraphQL depending on your use case, but for data-heavy apps the generic API approach is the worst approach.

When I was in college, a few decades ago, we had a class on object oriented programming. Out of about 60 people in the class, you could count on the fingers of one hand how many people passed. It was so bad the professor had to offer a redo. (Why yes, of course I passed, duh).

It was a long time ago and in C++, which is a touch trickier than Java or C#, but "traditional" programming isn't particularly simpler. It's just what's taught in school and what all the examples you google show. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

Procedural vs functional? Yeah, the former is more intuitive to a beginner. But as soon as you go a little further than that, it's basically all about what you've been exposed to.

GraphQL is appealing from the frontend perspective, but I've yet to see a case where it would do anything but make the backend 10x harder to develop, and it doesn't solve the problem of the frontend also having to know all of the entity relationships. Since you're using Rails, it's a lot easier to just add a controller endpoint that provides the composite data (as has been mentioned elsewhere already) for one UI action/page/navigation/state change, instead of using an entity-focused API. Controllers are supposed to abstract over potentially multiple models, not just be 1:1 endpoints for each type of entity.
It's to distinguish the hypothetical attacker and their resources from an individual or group of individuals. The threat to my personal health if Mossad is after me vs a particularly violent jilted ex-lover vs if I took down the local gang/cartel/drug dealer (ie they all want to kill me) but the level (and possibility) of defense against each of those threats are vastly different.

Basically Mailchimp did nothing to enrich the Atlanta startup community with a bunch of people making nice exits via stocks etc.. Instead it is another example of the Atlanta startup sharecropping model. A few years ago a reporter for the Atlanta Business Chronicle referred to Atlanta as the Bangalore of the South. Up until a few years ago, salaries didn't really compete with other locations and most companies that were opening up engineering offices in ATL did it as a cost cutting measure (IE: Bose, Pandora/Sirius etc..) COVID has opened up opportunities for developers living in Atlanta to have other options that are more lucrative.

Mailchimp had run it's course. It was a marketing play, and e-mail marketing has become a commodity business. Atlanta is, at it's heart, a marketing town. But even there, that can only take a marketing company so far.

I think vtubers are a counterpoint to that argument. There's a lot of virtual avatar type celebrities on internet platforms in particular and they have had fanbases for a while.

Ritalin displays no significant activity on 5HT receptors, in contrast to dexamphetamine, which does have significant serotogenic effects.

Yes, they are not related, but both are taken for their dopaminergic effects, though they achieve this by different methods (reuptake inhibitor vs agonist).

Generally, in the course of treatment for ADHD, patients will get to try both to see which one they respond to better. They often exhibit strong preference for one over the other (personally, dex does nothing for me, even at recreational doses of 50mg).

Their risk profiles are very similar, and one cannot be said to have "less side effects", unless referring to a specific individual's response.
If you are into server-driven UI, you can deliver structural data in JSON format and only have the client know how to render components.

This is easier said than done, however, as you basically need to reinvent parts of HTML but worse (ex. attaching event handlers to UI elements, etc.)

Or, use GraphQL. Or a BFF for each client.
This is a common trope, but incorrect. Cash is really hard to do crime with. You can't actually get any meaningful quantity of it without having a SAR or CTR filed on you (or the person obtaining it). It's big and bulky, it's uniquely numbered and traceable. You can't deposit any meaningful quantity without having a SAR or CTR filed.

Converting it back into something digital, anonymously/untraceably requires laundering it where you end up losing 20-70% of the value.

Cash sucks for any meaningful crime.

Cash is designed to be traceable and to move millions of it would be truly a feat. On the other hand you can move billions of crypto for the fuck of it.

Crypto is good for crime.

> Also in some countries police still don't just scan all your bank transactions 24/7 and there is presumption of innocence in criminal law.

The US draws the right balance: your transactions are private until the court authorizes the police obtain them on the basis of probable cause. Now it may not be executed perfectly every time but that's advocating for reforming that system, not throwing it out.
> It isn’t their arguments that I’m avoiding it is their emotional response to my questions. They may have valid perspective, but if I can’t ask questions and feel safe doing so I won’t.

That’s fine. Refusing to engage with someone who holds an opposing view because you want to avoid emotional turmoil on both sides is fair and valid. But to go further and call those people “fragile” is actively dismissing their point of view.
so true. and analysing generations is more of a Rorschach test than anything else. But an interesting exercise anyhow.
In my view -- it does not matter.

A corporation should be able to economically punish any entity they choose (as long the punishment is within economic boundaries, and they have some sort of business/employment relation with that entity )

The stronger the message the better, why do it in small pieces. Why not stop doing business (eg Sales/support) in the state of TX.

Whether it is a customer, an employee, a state or even a country.

Corporations should be able to participate in political discourse when they want to and as long as they stay with the boundaries of economic punishment -- it should be celebrated.

TX people love freedom, so freedom of corporations to punish economically -- should be one of those freedoms

Perhaps some powerfull entities can economically retaliate, although I am not sure how. Salesforce is dominant in their industry and pretty powerful.

Pacific-Front Parcel Taken from Black Family in 1924 Returned to Rightful Owners
I have no idea what people are complaining about in this thread. I find projects like this genius. I love making programming languages and I hate hate hate writing parsers, yet I enjoy experimenting with different syntax. Stuff like this is very convenient because you can just import your code as document, use path language to extract data, and schema language to apply basic checks. Not only is this thing standardized[1], it's implemented in your favorite language (Rust, Python, Java whatever).

Eh, I think it has more to do with tooling and framework support.

Imagine if the world were flipped and C++/Java/Python had zero IDE support, slow compilers, and weird/unreliable build and package management tooling, and only third-party bindings to any platform or framework. And Haskell had incredible IDE support, a fast compiler, great build and package management tooling, and official support for stuff everywhere you wouldn't have to think twice about using in a commercial context.

You'd use Haskell.

You must be ignorant to how crypto currencies and Monero in particular as a project is structured.

Monero as a financial system is not as you say "completely opaque" - that's laughable. All the code that runs every Monero client is completely open source.

Now some more savvy people will still complain: "If we can't see any of the balances then how do we know """they""" aren't minting coins out of thin air or defrauding other users?"

The truth is that you can simply read the code and determine that that is impossible. Or more accurately, someone very smart can (I for example can't give that guarantee first hand). But that's why open source software is beautiful - the code is not obfuscated or unclear, if there were any flaws in the system a single white hat could easily sound the alarm.

Long story short, you are confusing transaction privacy with protocol obscurity, the genius of Monero is that its protocol is completely in the open but it retains privacy for its users - that's the genius your ignorance is taking for granted.
