I'm really curious about more of those hacks on how to make food digest more poorly (like the dried toast), so your body doesn't absorb as much energy from it.
> The biggest determinant of homes people buy is not the total price, but rather how much cash do they need for down payment, and what will the monthly payment be.

I agree this is mostly how people decide, but it's not necessarily a good idea. buying a very expensive home at historically low interest rates is a significant risk. there's a good chance you get upside-down on that loan over a 15-30 year period. better hope you don't get divorced, lose your job, or need to relocate during that period.

That's the TTL that some carriers use from the phone. So once it hits the router it goes down - meaning the carrier knows you're tethering. Setting it to back to 65 on the router makes it harder for the carrier to detect.

> The people advancing the CICO idea have obviously never struggled with their weight.
> CICO is not real advice

I used CICO effectively to reduce my weight considerably. Indeed it is not a real advice, however for me it was a very good guiding principle that I feel was essential to help me achieve my goals.

By focusing on CICO it became clear that I had to find foods that I enjoyed eating and that made me feel fuller per calorie. I spent a fair bit of time thinking about meal compositions before starting due to this. I found ways to adapt my favorite dishes, both in portion size and ingredients.

Using CICO I only had the goal that my meals had to fit my calorie budget, had to be enjoyable to eat and had to keep me full till the next meal.

The principle also helped me stay on track, as it effectively means that it doesn't really matter what you do any given day, rather what you do each day. This made me avoid getting depressed and feeling hopless if I couldn't follow my plan for a day. My finish line got pushed ahead a day or two, no worries, just get back on track the next day.

I think the key though is that people are different. What worked for me will not work for everyone. For me, CICO was great.

You can couple Rendezvous Hashing with a redundancy method like replication or erasure coding.

The default for Tahoe-LAFS (a distributed filesystem that uses a form of Rendezvous Hashing) uses erasure coding to split each file into (by default) 10 segments of which any 3 are necessary to reconstruct the file. Those 10 segments are then stored across the first 10 servers in the list. [https://tahoe-lafs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture.htm...]

That way, even when servers go away with your data (whether due to crash or even network partitions(!)), you still have a decent chance to locate your data.
I'm speaking about the concepts that underly the interface, not the details of options and so on. svn was orders of magnitude better: you checked out a repo, you made local changes, you got to see the changes you made before committing, you committed changes, unless there were conflicting changes made in the meantime in which case you had to assert that you'd resolved those conflicts, possibly with help from merge tooling.

That's it.

Now, I admit that much of the conceptual complexity with git is to do with it being a decentralized system. svn was not. However, I think it does a tremendously bad job of abstracting and conceptualizing that complexity.

How is it type safe? Type safety is worse for http calls because you literlly have no idea at compile time what the data will be. Where as, when all the data is in your repository, you can verify the data matches what you expect.

Reudcing space? Really? The data is actually very small. Your npm modules take a lot more space. If anything is really cheap and not worth worrying about, it's disk space.

At this point nuclear is the most expensive per mw. And the vast majority of that expense is upfront. So almost no one wants to invest in these things because they're incredibly risky.

By having other power sources as well. Starting with offshore wind, then of course, solar cells. Build up more storage (both biological gas and synthetic gas, water, batteries), strengthen the European networks. The chance is very good that on windless days in Germany, there will be quite a bit of wind in France. Same with solar.
A 1 GW DC line to Norway was put into operation just recently. And of course, we can keep all those gas power plants in reserve for those few days per year when nothing other is sufficient. The goal should first be, not requiring them to run on a day to day basis.
The fact that we think that either of those are okay is wrong.

Yes and no.

Having no rules means you have a maximum search space. However, a general audience means that the top X% (lets say 70 to be arbitrary) are going to be in a very small search space... An English word with maybe some numbers substituted in for a letter or two.

OTOH, having password rules means that you eliminate the smallest areas of the search space, so every password resides in a restricted version of the larger space. Fewer possible passwords, but all at a larger complexity to guess.

Then, there are password rules like "no special characters" or "maximum length of 10 characters" which are fantastically stupid and lazy, and only serve to make brute forcing them that much easier.

1. Residential homes are no longer allowed to be 'investment properties' aka every person(or married couple) can own exactly one house. Corporate entities except for Banks(even then can only own it for the time it takes to sell it in the case of foreclosure) can't either.

2. Only actual Americans can own property in America. Single-fam, multi-fam, land,etc. doesn't matter.

Exactly no one needs to rent houses if mulit-fam exists and actual houses aren't speculative instruments or places where foreign nationals hide their money.

Yeah. We usually only do like one or two sentences, so it's harder to tell and a font might make it quicker, but I doubt we'll end up finding it easier in the long run than just writing something and SVGing it.
Sorry this is nonsense, seeing something outrageous within seconds of getting on freenet was also my experience about 15 years ago, and I certainly didn’t go looking for it.

Things may have improved on the common indexes since then, I’ve not been back to check, but you seek to whitewash and diminish the problem which is not great either.

> You can build a single wind turbine for what, $100K? Even a basic nuclear power plant is now around $50B

A modern wind turbine will typically feature a 20 years lifetime and cost a few million dollars to produce a handful of MWs.

On the other hand, we see nuclear power plants happily going over 50 years of service while producing power in the magnitude of a few GWs -- and they do not cost $50B to build, but somewhere in the ballpark of a few $B.

Taking the very very rough estimate of twice 1000 wind turbines vs. one nuclear power plant to produce a few GWs over half a century, we arrive at $2B for the wind turbines vs. e.g. $5B for the nuclear plants. Of course, this does not take into account the fact that the wind turbines must be supported by another power source for when there is no wind, that maintaining a nuclear plant is much more expensive than maintaining wind turbines, that 1000 WT require manifold more ground space than a NPP, etc.; but we are still very far away from $100K vs. $50B. And that is also without taking into account the commonly cited load factors of 0.25-0.4 for WTs vs. 0.85-0.95 for NPPs, which would require building at least twice as many WTs in locations complementary w.r.t. exposition to winds to be palliated.

Windmills can be very nifty ancillary power sources, but they do not hold a candle to NPPs in the context of a(n) (inter)national power grid.
I've longed considered doing a diet based on mass rather than calories, as mass in vs mass out is a tautology. Maybe I should actually try it soon. It would be pretty simple:

1. Come up with a post-meal target weight goal, like say 5 pounds over your current weight, decreasing by 0.1 pounds per day.
2. Before each (significant) meal, weigh yourself.
3. Limit the weight of what you consume to the difference between the target weight at the moment to your current weight.

If the target is sufficiently above your current weight initially and the rate of decrease is realistic, it should glide you into the correct portion sizes for your weight loss goal. Your measurements of the food could even include some of the packaging; as long as that's typical, it'll calibrate accordingly.

Cooking for yourself? Rather than trying to estimate calories from ingredients, just break out your kitchen scale! Eating at a restaurant that doesn't list the calories on menu items? Just pack a scale!
Substack is the new blog. The problem most bloggers face is no traffic and readers. The failure rate is so high, I can understand why the medium overall has declined in popularity. I think videos and podcasts are easier to get traction and there is more money.

Robbery of delivery workers has long been a problem in the city complicated by the fact that many of them don't trust/don't feel safe going to the police.

My first time on jury duty in nyc the case was armed robbery of a delivery worker to steal his cell phone - this was pre smart phone era, so let's say the phone's value was <$200.

Was a very depressing case tbh. One person at risk of death and another at risk of a long prison term for what was really petty theft (armed robbery makes the punishment much much worse than just petty theft would be).
Not at this point, sorry.

The entire world has been in lockdown for months, we have all survived without drones delivering one mug of coffee at a time.
I think the US elections have left a pretty serious sore spot that's going to be a long time in healing. I suspect your comment was being read as sarcastically implying that the same thing was happening in Canada as well. Especially since (and correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't really kept up on Canadian politics) I've gotten the impression that the USA drama has crept north, or at least Canada is going through a somewhat similar phase.
Sometimes its a preference of use. If the API is simple and easy to use, if it provides translations and transliterations you prefer, if it means not needing to process xml or sql which I believe a lot of us would prefer not to do.
No doubt some fat and lazy people appreciate coffee delivery, but I think probably a lot of slim, highly motivated and productive people do as well. (Also, surely, a few serial killers and pedophiles.)

Adequate human interaction (modulo the ongoing pandemic) is indeed important (I think, at least for most people), but a wide swath of people probably have an overabundance of it, and wouldn't benefit from the additional interactions involved with physically going get their own coffee from some human in a coffee-vending establishment.

The positive use for drone delivery is the same for any other delivery service. The pros and cons compared to human delivery, animal delivery, wheeled robot delivery, etc. are debatable.

Maximum lengths only make sense if your password field is stored as a SQL CHAR(10) (or COBOL if they’re into that). Basically a fixed width field and that’s too small for a hash. But even then, they’re a horrible idea.

It would be best to approach the supervolcano problem with defense in depth.

Increasing food supply production, efficiency, and resiliency are commendable goals in itself and should be done in conjunction in figuring out how to defuse the supervolcano.
Bluntly, this is the problem with code reviews: at the review stage it’s too late.

Changes from this type of review are usually fine details (“use a constant for this”, “consider this edge case”, “prefer this style…”) that can be done easily by the reviewer with no context.

If you’re lucky, you might get meaningful feedback (“consider using this approach instead…”), but many people just use code reviews as a gateway to merging code (1).

This is the pragmatic approach; just trust the other developers and doing their jobs and do a light pass check to ensure that everyone is aligned on approach and style.

..but, that’s not what you were tasked with.

You were asked to review the code, not the syntax.

You cannot review code you do not understand.

I’m sorry, but your mental parser does not run code. It does not render ui, update databases or generate concurrent race conditions. You may be able to approximate some of those, but most people can only do all of those things by actually running the code.

So… you may get some value from looking at code; but I question, in almost all cases, if teams contributed significant value by doing so.

> What happened to landlines

The majority of incoming calls on landlines now are people trying to scam the callee. [https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/almost-half-your-phone-ca...]. And the majority of AM radio content now is low-audience long-tail content (or mass-commodified syndicated content, like Rush Limbaugh) that is a medium for pushing low-quality bulk advertising for questionable products.

To expand upon the hypothesis (and this is half-baked and incomplete, so take it with several grains of salt): as technology evolves, people move to more comfortable / more convenient technology. AM is not comfortable or convenient; it's interfered with by too many EM flux sources in the modern world. Landline is not comfortable or convenient for the reasons you noted relative to modern alternatives.

The people who do not move off these technologies are various flavors of captive audiences: people who can't buy FM radios or don't want to adopt new stations / find content in new locations, people who can't use a cellphone, etc. As mainstream content creation leaves these channels, the vacuum is taken over by hucksters trying to take advantage of these captive audiences. The incentives to do so are lack of alternative content and a "softer" target audience (easier to fool, especially since these technologies were once mainstream and trusted so many of their users still believe they are, even after the hucksters have taken them over). I have relatives who still believe "They wouldn't call me if they didn't have business with me; how would they know my number?" And I still have relatives who believe AM news radio is news.
Putting the energy output of this highly expensive engineering project to waste unscrambling numbers is certainly not a way to make it economical.
Probably not, but the gas price is peaking for several, mostly temporal reasons. Especially if the overall gas usage drops due to more renewable electricity, the gas price will drop also.

But the real competition for nuclear energy shouldn't be gas (which is expensive even in better times), but renewables. We need much more of them.

A new HIGH severity vulnerability was found in Kubernetes in which users may be able to create a container with subpath volume mounts to access files & directories outside of the volume, including on the host filesystem. The issue is affecting the Kubelet component of Kubernetes. This vulnerability allows attackers to abuse subPath property of the volumeMounts and access the entire host file system without using the hostPath feature originally intended for this capability.
Reducing overall stress is a pretty well known way to improve health, and it often leads to better diets/lower fat ratio one way or another. I don’t think it’s hard to find stories of people losing weight after getting out of shitty jobs/damaging relationships.

Focusing on numbers (calorie counting etc.) can help people who like numbers and need to focus on something. But these people don’t need any push to go find numbers to follow. The same way I fundamentally like sport, I needed nobody’s advice to go do hours of sports when I felt my body was getting rusty.
