At most you can hope to get a Noble Prize, but your discoveries of nuclear physics or quantum mechanics are unpatentable. Fist the journals make money by selling your work, then the companies do, you generally get nothing.
I think there's a strong argument to be made for cruel and unusual punishment (or maybe not that but the unfairness of the consequences), as things ratchet up. For me, it seems fair to say people should get tested every week. If it were tested every 5 minutes or had to wear a full hazmat suit, then yes, I think that takes it wayyyy too far and then would be much more upset about it.

I guess I just don't see how the current alternatives prohibit people from participating in society. I guess some places say only vaccinated people, but most seem to just require a negative test within the last 72 hours or something.
I was like that too but eventually after doing one meal a day Ive been feeling full on anywhere from 1200-2200 calories. Really depends on the food where I'm at and what's around. But you're absolutely right, there's not one BEST method for everyone. I personally cannot stand the minutiae of calorie counting and measuring portions so it's not good for me. I will measure portions to learn to eyeball things but yeah, can't do it every time I put food on a plate.

I seem to remember "No shirt, no shoes, no service" in my time, justified as a public health measure (even if that wasn't the real justification).

Likewise food service workers have long been required to bandage wounds, wear hair nets and gloves, avoid work when ill, etc.

If COVID were only transmissible when you were symptomatic there would probably be no real public health need to apply this kind of check. But since it is silly to think you can simultaneously use masks and eat in a restaurant, as anti-vaxxers are fond of reminding us, you're left with measures like that if you want indoor dining in a restaurant.
> With the modern JVM you actually have to work quite hard to write native code (Rust/C++/C) that outperforms an equivalent Java/Kotlin/Scala implementation.

For what kind of code? I've never experienced comparable performance between JVM and C++ implementations, and I've had the misfortune of writing a couple parallel implementations in recent years where it was literally an "apples to apples" comparison. C++ is faster by default and isn't particularly close, even if you ignore Java's startup and warmup time. I've never seen a native implementation run slower than a JVM one in my entire career, which has included a lot of Java.

This is the expected outcome and easily explainable in technical terms. Performance in modern systems is dominated by memory handling efficiency, where C++ is very strong and JVM is not.
Right. It's a tantalizing hypothesis. My gut feeling is that it is likely at least a few of the identified language families (particularly Turkish and Mongolic and Korean) are related. But this simply has never been demonstrated by anyone adequately to make a scientific claim. A hunch at best. There just isn't enough data. There probably will never be.

As soon as you add even slight fuzziness in what constitutes a valid match, given you're dealing with thousands of words in hundreds of forms... and you're matching all of them against each other, the search space explodes and you start finding matches. Dozens. Hundreds even.

I used to be way overweight. A few years ago I lost a lot of weight by basically walking a lot and doing intemittent fasting.

Then I stopped it and started to slowly gain more weight. Now I'm on an IF regiment again.

Now, I really doubt it's the calorie restriction that's at work here.

The human body is not a simple physical machine. It's a complex system.

A simple machine would be some like like a car that has a set amount of energy needed and simple mechanism to switch energy source when one of them is almost depleted.

A complex machine is one that responds to the environment and changes its internal behavior. For example, it can decide to activate or shutdown internal systems that use energy in order to conserve energy. It can decide to let go of conserving energy and just make sure the body has a lot of energy for performing the current activity.

Common wisdom says that the body goes in hunger mode if you restrict calories. But I don't think that's what's going on. Because you also restrict calories on IF. Instead I think that when you consistently eat low calorie meals, it activates some mechanism in your body that's meant to conserve energy when you are living through some sort of a famine, or something like that. (another possibility: instead of a famine, it thinks you became a low status individual within your tribe). But when you do IF you typically eat normal size, filling meals, so this mechanism never gets triggered. Further more, there's probably no mechanism in your brain that thinks that going for many hours without food is a bad thing. Quite the opposite: it's just the normal expected thing.

So if you do some exercise while in a fasted state, even though you are technically low on calories, your brain probably thinks you might be hunting for food so it will make sure you can utilize all the energy you need and some more.

> The problem is, cravings are real, abstinence doesn’t work,

I'm not sure what you mean here? Surely fasting is abstinence, is it not?

You can at any time decide to open the fridge and eat something. You can decide at any time to go to the nearby convenience store and buy something to eat.
Alpha-gal is an immune response. If a vaccine caused the allergy or triggered the immune response, you would see it in the short-term. It wouldn't appear years later, long after the vaccine was gone.
Can somebody comment the effects size of improvements

HOMA-IR (−0.75 ± 0.79 vs. −0.10 ± 1.06; P = 0.004) and

MSS (−0.34 ± 4.72 vs. 0.31 ± 1.98, P = 0.006).

Without knowing the normal range it's impossible to say how big change 0.75 (HOMA-IR) or -0.34 (MSS) are. The article says significant, but how much that is.
I like the database-to-component binding idea. If you squint, that‘s what a GraphQL/React app simulates (with mountains of boilerplate).

I‘m not so sure about moving up the level of abstraction in the direction of no code tools. You can make it super easy to build the 1000s of CRUD apps we need today, but a dominant UI toolkit needs to be low-level enough so we can also build the kinds of apps we don‘t know about yet and the no code tools to make those apps. I think the component model popularized by react is here to stay for a while, especially because it fits in perfectly with the low/no-code tools, but everything around I can see improving.

Temptation is managed by just having a little patience until your next meal.

My hypothesis is this is the key.

I do something similar to IF. I’ll eat two meals before 10am then won’t eat until 7pm or so.

It’s not that I don’t get hungry it’s that I kind of don’t care? It’s not a big deal and I can wait until the next meal.

Overcoming the psychological “need” to eat is a big part of it.
I think what the OP meant is that IF has all the benefits in one, simple to use format.

You do not need any apps, you do not need to count calories and you do not need remove food you love from the menu.

And while it may sound that you would try to overcompensate for not eating during specific timeframes, what happens in reality is that your body responds by wanting less food, not more.

Thanks for sharing. Does that mean if I do IF I can still consume the same calories I consume right now, just in a shorter period?

BTW what does your IF plan look like? I'm thinking about between 4pm (needs a coffee around 2 or 3) and 8am but not sure if it actually is IF.

How is that not timing the market?

The premise of “time in the market > timing the market” is that all you know is that at a point sufficiently far in the future, the value will be higher.

Which means at any given point in time, if you have the ability to invest, and your goal is to achieve long term returns with low risk, then you simply invest as soon as you can. Since the longer the investment is held, the less volatile it should be. You are not trying to maximize returns, you are trying to minimize volatility.
Cravings and weird side-effects suggest you're lacking some basic nutrient/s. Have you tried varying the types of foods you eat to counter this?

I started a poll on twitter. Now, obviously there is bias since my twitter audience is mostly FP people, but keep in mind:

- almost all experienced FP people "started in OO", or at least, imperative. So if they are picking map/reduce it is out of experience with the alternative.

- the split between bootcampers/informal and CS/formal is instructive: You can see that "bootcampers", who typically have less need for a low-level mental model of what the metal is doing, find that that for/while loops are harder on the brain than map/reduce:

I once managed to corrupt a restic repository after ctrl+c'ing the program and pulling a disk before it was apparently done syncing the write cache (I wanted to leave and catch a bus but noticed that this was still running), not sure if there are other conditions where that might happen. Better to know ahead of time to make a new backup before the primary copy breaks.

What my one friend, who has a PhD in gene therapy, said is that these vaccines are safe now and in the long-term according to the best scientific knowledge we have at the moment. So I agree, there may be unforeseen ramifications of these vaccines in the future, true. I guess I just also believe there may be unforeseen ramifications in the future of having had covid-19 and I'm placing a bet that it's more likely that a previous covid-19 infection will be worse for me in the future than the mRNA vaccines I got. I have no certainty on it, I don't think anyone does, and it frustrates me sometimes when we don't mention that.
This was really helpful, too. Thanks!
This is an honest question, and I'm not trying to pour cold water on DAI. What would happen if DAI had a single centralised source of truth which could be mirrored as needed if people lost faith in the central entity? This is a bit like what Wikipedia has, which is a fully open database that can be mirrored ad infinitum -- but still remains the central source of truth as long as people respect the organisation that runs it. More broadly, does DAI really need to be on a blockchain*? Are there efficient non-blockchain ways to make verifiable stablecoins?

I ask this question because a lot of things that are run on blockchains seem like they're losing more than they're gaining. It makes me suspicious of even DAI.

When I say "fully open database", you might object that this compromises a person's privacy in order to make the database mirror-able. But then again, all blockchains are fully open and public, so there's nothing more to be lost there.

* - By which I mean the Ethereum blockchain, which is inefficient like all blockchains currently are.

I think what the comment you are replying to is saying, and which I agree with after trying IF, is that IF works simply by making it easier to restrict calories for the average person, not that other methods are impossible or can't work.

I mean, just take your example. Counting calories for everything you eat is a significant amount of work, and it's really easy to cheat if you're feeling hungry ("Oh, look, my app says that an 'average' blueberry muffin is only 250 cals, so that's what I'll put in, despite this muffin being the size of my head").

With IF, all you have to think about is whether you're in your feeding window. You can still cheat, but there is no ambiguity about it, so for many people (or, fine, at least for me) it's easier to keep with it. I found myself getting super hungry during my fasting period, but I knew I just had to wait until my feeding period, and I actually found it difficult to overeat during my feeding period because I would just eat until I was full and then would "run out of time" to overeat.
Zig's approach is really nice here, but it's also a notably easier problem to solve than rust has, since it's not trying to solve for parallel/concurrent safety.

Do you think Zig's approach would be feasible in Rust? I guess maybe you could do it, but the sync version would have to have the stricter constraints of the async version.
> The US is not, and has never been, a champion of immigration. Immigration has been seen as "people taking our jobs" pretty much since the founding of the country. Immigration has always been tolerated as a "necessary evil" by policymakers.

That isn’t true at all, if only because the US isn’t some homogenous being with one opinion. Immigration as a “necessary evil” is still pro immigration, vs a place like China where getting even a green card if you aren’t Han requires an act of god.

> abstinence doesn’t work

Well, it does. I don't like to feed the myth believed by overweight people that they won't lose weight if they simply started eating 2000 kCal/day. It's psychologically hard, sure (for some) but it would work.

However, it's often easier to eat "nothing" than a little -- especially of high-carb products. It's easier to eat no tortilla chips than to have "just one".

And getting used to a np-food period of the day similarly helps to stop the cravings.
The decision seems very well written and is worth at least a skim. The section that answers your question is (f), and starts at the bottom of page 16.

As I read it, the decision says that the State's definitely have the police power to mandate vaccination, and suggests that the federal government lacks this authority under the Commerce Clause (but doesn't directly claim that no other authority exists). The basic claim is that OSHA, given it's current legal authority, lacks the right to regulate "noneconomic nonactivity".

Cortex-A53, also of that 5-years-old Cortex-A73 generation. The A5x are the lower-powered variants of the A7*, so these sit below a RasPi 4. The neat bit of this board is the NPU, but it's only 4 TOPS.

There's a lot of showing of those "A[5,7][2,3]" chips in the sub-$150 range.

Java (and other JVM languages), as well as C# to a certain extent address the points you raise. Secondly, it's not true that golang has a minimal learning curve (I've seen senior engineers write bad golang code when they're onboarded - it takes time to learn the golang way of doing things and its quirks), and it's not even a fundamental goal to have.
I think in the Soviet bloc, "higher mathematics" referred to mathematics taught at higher institutions (i.e. universities or technical institutions at the same level). This usage is a bit different from that in the Commonwealth of Nations (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Further_Mathematics for instance). As for the current text, while it does mostly cover high-school calculus, some portions of it (e.g. contour integration, analytic functions and Dirac delta function) are definitely outside high-school curricula. As the authors indicated in the preface, the intended audience of this book include high-school students, high-school teachers and first-year college students.

The cult of IF among tech nerds is one of those bizarre subcultures I'll never get used to. Here we are, modern human beings who live twice as long as their forebears, and yet a small fraction of them feel they need to regularly and intentionally starve themselves in order to be healthy. Humans are goddamn weird.
Indeed, this is one of the major advantages of tarsnap, though a friend also mentioned borg can do this apparently. I should really look into borg (again).
Indeed, I feel the same way. I used to be a big user of CrashPlan, largely because it had a straightforward UI: highlight a bunch of directories; choose a backup destination; choose a backup frequency.

I do like the idea of being able to tune and configure things from the CLI. It was frustrating configuring CrashPlan on a remote computer.

With that said, I feel like both should be possible. Even just a basic wrapper GUI would be a start.

Edit: and some basic searching has lead me to lots of options! Time to do some more research.

Of course zooming in "adds" pixels.

And if we were to follow that pedantic logic, we should consider removing pixels from the original image (zooming out) equivalently problematic. But, apparently, no one cared that software presented a version with "subtracted" pixels in the first place, and only cared about pixels added by zooming in (which could have technically been "de-zooming-out", up to a point).

Generally, fitting a raster image with dimensions AxB into a viewport of dimensions NxM inevitably involves what effectively is adding and/or removing pixels to/from the original image. That can be done in various ways (which is why we have different resizing algorithms).
You can't _build_ anything from them. They talk around things, kinda layout the problem, talk nebulously about a way to solve it and then ... nothing.
