There's a guy out there, I haven't been able to find him again, but he measured his cholesterol daily and carefully controlled his diet. The results were incontrovertible, when he ate things like eggs and meat, his cholesterol went down, these were the objective results.

Either this guy is lying, or that's how it works for some people. But beware, this guy claims it's not the same for everyone, so don't assume that your body responds the same way his does. Ask your doctor or make your own observations.

Unfortunately good and detailed cholesterol tests are expensive.

I wanted to be a fly on the wall when this guy showed his doctor that his advice to avoid eggs resulted in higher cholesterol, clear as day.

Do you have exercise habits ?

I notice in this thread there is little mention of this giant portion of the heart-health puzzle, and talk of nutrition only.

I've been doing weight training for years (because I don't enjoy endurance exercise) and it's kept my numbers in strong shape. I eat a vast amount of animal products (although heavily biased towards fish and eggs instead of red meat), and could not imagine for a second a vegetarian and especially vegan diet.

I think a vegan diet requires supplementation (B12, and god knows what else), for one thing, and most vegans aren't doing it for health reasons but for moral ones.

But I still think the biggest health killer is a lifestyle with insufficient movement in the day to day. Many people don't even walk anywhere, and their ever-increasing sizes show it.

Either GP's claim is factual and indeed he is aware of proof of impossibility, or he is not and he's just knowingly spreading disinformation.

I object to the idea of random people on the internet knowingly spreading disinformation with baseless claims that fly on the face of critical thinking, and then resorting to vague appeals to authority, inversions of the burden of truth, and outright bullying to force-fed their disinformation.

If there is any proof whatsoever supporting the claim that such thing is impossible then just support your claim and present the evidence or source. Don't expect everyone to just take your word for it, specially after you tried desperately to invert the burden of proof.

There are many anecdotes of people reversing arterial plaque calcification with an all-meat diet. Hypertension, type 2 diabetes, etc., all reversed. If those hypothesies were true that shouldn't happen ever.
What specifically do you argue Google should have done here? I can’t think of a name that could describe the feature without potentially misleading people who don’t understand it; the fundamental problem is that people don’t realize there’s a difference between “privacy from other people on my computer” and “privacy from other sites on the Internet”. Should they have just refused to build a privacy mode at all because they can’t provide all forms of privacy?
Yes, this is all important information to know. The best I can understand is that "rare earths" became associated with dependence on China (not true), which led to people being against rare earths in general. But it's tough to figure out what's going on with people's opinion on the matter, I still don't know what I said in my comment above yours that was so disagreeable.
I did that for a long time, but I get a little too into FPS games and playing ranked against people who can see in the dark using game filters, have a high FOV not supported on console, 240FPS, and 1ms input lag I decided to switch.

The linked blog post is the kind of informational pablum that anybody with a handful of years of programming or IT experience could write.

That's what Luke Smith specializes in: milquetoast technological advice wrapped in a veneer of alt-right language designed to titillate his audience. I see no reason why we should give him center stage in our attentions when plenty of other, better, and more qualified people can talk cogently about the same topics.

I doubt that. Mostly they just want to punt responsibility. (I've been in these shoes many times.)

> If we started today from scratch, I think timezones wouldn't be set by towns but by arbitrary numbers or letters (something like "+8:00 DST-2")

That is exactly the wrongest thing to do, because your version makes it impossible to plan future local events.

It would essentially be a completely useless intermediate layer between something very similar to the current timezones and the "absolute" times below.
This is laughable. 15 years of DL? I ran neural net models more than 15 years ago. It wasn’t even accepted back then. Heck people looked at you weird if you mentioned Python. As far as I am concerned if you tell me you did DL before 2013 as a “DATA SCIENTIST” you are full of shit.

As far as OP, how do you learn Docker without Kubernetes these days? To me this is like saying you don’t need to learn Windows because all you do is run the solver in Excel.

Enabling Warp via the "1.1.1.1" Android app gets me an 8.x.x.x VPN address, at least. This /24 appears to be routed to my city's Cloudflare node, so presumably there's a /24 per city they run this service in.

Running a quick port scan from my phone against one of my machines works, so it doesn't look like they are restricting this too heavily.

And I'm not logged into this app and haven't granted it additional permissions, so I'm not sure they have any idea who I am here.

I did a carnivore diet for 3 months this year it really opened my eyes to how different you can feel running on a diet without carbs/sugar. Took me about 3 weeks to transition and definitely had withdrawal symptoms with deep cravings for bread but managed to break through and found a completely new horizon on the other side. Biggest improvement was to my cognition, I could keep a bunch of nested thought bubbles up and open in my mind for much longer. My mood improved to the point where I felt almost a spiritual calm during the day and made me wonder if maybe I've been pushing through life with a low grade depression. My joints stopped cracking and some nerve pain I had from long covid completely subsided. Unfortunately I had to stop the diet because I was losing too much weight (I'm normally 5'11 155lbs but started to fall under 148lbs) and could not eat enough to remain stable.

Since May I've gone off the diet and been indulging in carbs/sugar at every turn to try to get back up and above my normal weight (I'm at 165lbs now) and it has been like dropping a neutrino bomb on my cognition. I would describe my new mental state as being in a stupor. Writing this recap I'm struggling with word recall and remembering all the events of my diet and just generally feel lethargic/slow. Once I get to 170lbs I'm hoping to give the diet another go this fall and maybe be able to go for a bit longer and give me time to experiment with other calorie sources like sweet potatoes/white rice/berries.

Anyways, leaving this comment here for myself as a note to reflect back on and some anecdote for anyone interested in trying the diet. I'd recommend it if you're curious.
You're welcome. :)

As someone technical I disagree.

I go out of my way not to use suggestive names like incognito because for the non-technical, it creates an expectation that will be relied upon by those that do not have the background understand what they are reading. "History-less", "local self-clean", "non-caching"... All of these names are accurate and far less suggestive than incognito. Incognito, like it or not, evokes the expectation that the browser is doing something to frustrate monitoring by other parties.

Here be the wrath of the non-technical masses, and why the "luser" attitude is the most destructive, anti-social, and regressive attitude in tech.

Our goal should be simplification of computing. Not the unceasing obfuscation and complexifying of it in some misguided attempt to create job security. I sincerely hope Google loses. Hard. It's about damn time that the tech industry be held to a higher standard.
I share this experience. Frustrating. But made me give up on FB completely. For good.

But that’s because there wasn’t widespread acceptance that there was a shared social cost. It was just the wealthy spending their money as they saw fit.

Now that the world (mostly) accepts the tragedy of the commons that is GHG emissions, it’s not so easy to justify.

Absorption is what's important. It should go without saying flesh is easier to break down than cellulose (add to that that various plant compounds inhibit absorption and impose a toxic burden, e.g. oxalates, phytates, etc.)
> There are a few neighborhoods that are completely free of HOAs that but those houses are not as nice and neighborhoods not as nice.

I think the HOA tries to argue that this isn't coincidence - its the HOA's policies and governance that have resulted in the niceness (we can cite examples that both support this and contradict this, of course, so its hard to assess whether this is true).

Folks might argue that it isn't fair that the most desirable goods are encumbered, but then its kind of up to them to create or support institutions that can manufacture the unencumbered version. That's the promise of a market opportunity where we can create brand new neighborhoods to test your hypothesis that people will prefer the nice-but-no-HOA version (I think the recent buzz around the Framework laptops is an example of this).

Can't edit my original answer any more, but I just wanted to state that:

- I think every proposition (not just sentence) of this comment is wrong.

- Tesla, not only didn't break the lap record (they only broke the EV record) which is ridiculous, but the Ring is probably the best suited lap for an EV: large track with mostly long straights or gentle curves. Try breaking the lap record at Suzuka.[1]

- Even if Tesla had the record, a single lap is hardly a fair comparison to a Ferrari or a McLaren. The Tesla couldn't do 30 laps before taking 4 hours to recharge. Those ICE cars are raced in LeMans 24. That's 24 hr. straight of driving. I'd love to see a Tesla compete in that.

[1] Full respect to the Ring - see Rush's explanation for it in the link bellow. But the Ring Niki did in under 7 minutes [2] in the 1970s is not the ring of today, and the prime difficulty of the Ring is that it's so long that

a. Weather conditions are different around the track

b. No driver can really learn the track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjyIrLKgbbA

[2] Niki's record still stands today because the original, much longer, ring is no longer.
Um, it's just a delay in add-on approvals. In this thread you can even see one complainant report back that their add-on was approved a day or two later.
Fine. We'll design a control system for EVs where you can feel that a fake clutch actually does something. We can supply speakers and a simulated tach to give the full sports car experience.

Really my own guess is that the manual trans will continue on the way out due to emissions law if nothing else (and lack of interest). Modern cars have little visceral interest in any case, probably better to buy a hemicuda with a stick or a Cobra kit.

In theory Google could send the Do Not Track header to notify people they shouldn't track, but very few sites honor that (and Google Analytics certainly doesn't).
What’s the issue with background task management on iOS?
Agreed - but I think that would be an example of a contract under duress - the workers have no choice and the company can exploit them.

With iPhones I think we have a choice, and while it isn't ideal, we can vote with our wallets and support other institutions or companies.
Also, so many things can be solved in a 5 minute text message which take hours of back and fourth when using meetings.
That's the thing: both of those views are compatible with my perspective. Contempt for the user may be in the interest of any given user, just like forcing your kid to eat vegetables instead of ice cream all the time is.

But forcibly shutting down a machine in the middle of the day during active usage is a cardinal sin, just about the most fundamental user-hostile activity I can imagine. Microsoft may be right, and there may be a portion of the general population whose computer usage is 100% pointless nonsense that can be interrupted as easily as you'd interrupt your child's videogame to make him do homework. But I'm not in that group, and I doubt anybody here would consider everything they do on their computer to fall into that bucket.

Computers touch _everything_. I'm not an NSA agent or a hacker on a heist team, and I can think of a dozen (non-work) times in the last month where a shutdown-interruption of the work I was doing would have been a big problem.

Which brings me to my tldr: I'm not suggesting that Windows' decision is a generally bad one. I'm saying that it's a poor fit for anyone who considers their computer to be anything but a useless toy.

>This is factually incorrect. On Win32, window borders are drawn out-of-process by the OS. You do need to link to CreateWindow in user32, but that’s only vaguely a “UI toolkit” as CreateWindow is closer to a syscall than a library function.

You would still need to link against the toolkit. Plus, if it's a syscall, that means the kernel is involved in drawing the decorations, which is probably not going to happen in Linux. Sorry. Not every OS is built the same as Windows. If you like the way Windows is built, you might want to use it and not Linux.

>Besides that, GTK is not the canonical toolkit of Linux or Wayland.

Right, but that doesn't change it. If you want GTK decorations, you link against GTK. If you want other decorations then you link against another toolkit. If you don't care about the decorations and just want whatever then you could use xdg-decoration or libdecor, but not all app developers will want that.

>So this is not a reasonable option even if it would be on another system.

I don't understand what you mean reasonable? Both ways work if you're designing a system, you only have to care about them if you're a developer because it's a minor implementation detail.

>They make GTK apps behave badly, but most Qt stuff works pretty reasonably.

My experience is actually the opposite, Qt apps are even more likely to have odd sizing issues or inconsistent behavior. But I probably used a different set of apps than you did.

>considering they don’t ask for much other than accurate window hints and no custom borders

Maybe the window manager developers don't ask for anything but the apps are still broken. A lot of desktop apps cannot be placed into 1/6th of the corner of the screen and still work correctly but that's what tiling WMs try to do. Especially on a laptop with a small screen I find this behavior to be completely unusable. The window hints and borders are really not significant compared to all the other issues, so I honestly have no idea why some people seem to be so focused on that.

>That just means my app will look like crap if the compositor doesn’t support xdg-decoration.

This makes no sense to me. Libdecor will draw the fallback, if your app correctly supports xdg-decoration then it has to draw a fallback. The only thing xdg-decoration does is allow the compositor to draw fallbacks in some circumstances, so if you think the fallbacks all look like crap, then nothing you do there will ever help. There is no possible way to solve your problem.

>The difference is not whether or not window borders are optional. The difference is whether the app or the compositor handles window borders.

It's the same difference. Just as in X11, some window managers will never handle the window borders. There is nothing you can do about this besides patching all those window managers. But you probably don't care about that because most people don't seem to switch window managers very often.
Laziness situates the problem in individuals and as a deep characteristic, and I think neither is true.

Normally when I see ineffective meetings and missing communications, it's an organizational culture issue. The number one cause I see is what the Lean people call "overburden". I know somebody who was a big fan of circulating notes and tried to bring that practice to a new job. But they ended up giving up because a) bosses put too much on their plate to have the time for that, and b) everybody else was overloaded enough that they wouldn't read the notes anyhow.

That of course means everybody has even more work now, the work called "failure demand". Extra meetings. Doing the wrong work because of confusion. Dealing with delays trying to get information not communicated to them. Etc, etc. So good meeting notes become more needed and more difficult to adopt.

In my view, all of this is driven by not getting another Lean concept: push systems vs pull systems. [1] Work is not driven by actual demand and capacity limits, which is how pull systems work. Instead managers jam requests into the hopper with little regard for capacity, causing all sorts of downstream pathologies.

So if we want to actually fix this, we need systemic change, not individual blame.

I agree that there's not a single instance of double-spaces in the text, and I thought that was a really bizarre claim, but there are some instances of misspellings that help it along.

For example:

1. missles instead of missiles

2. carefull instead of careful

3. futher instead of further

But they're at least all consistent so there's plausible deniability that the author just didn't know English that well. And ofc the tweets are still on-point saying that it's an impressive and unappreciated feat.

I recently discovered Super Metroid on the SNES emulator in Nintendo Switch.

The game is so good! Compared to the other games in the emulator library, it’s like night and day.

I have no idea about other games in 1994, and how does it compare. Doom is one year earlier and it’s much more advanced, so, who knows.
