I had diarrhea problems for a few years that no doctor diagnosed. I found on my own that taking a probiotic twice a day completely fixed it, within a few days. The probiotic (Amazon's most popular) was around $13 for 30 pills, so it was going to be $25/mo.

That worked, but instead of spending $25/mo, I started making yogurt and using a couple of opened probiotic capsules as the starter. I'm also recently lactose intolerant, so I let the yogurt ferment 24 hours to ensure all the milk sugar is consumed by the bacteria. I strain it to make Greek yogurt, which to me isn't as tart and tastes more like sour cream. 2 probiotic capsules and a half gallon of milk costs less than $4 for 2 quarts of yogurt. I only have to eat a spoonful in the morning before breakfast. Works great!

If these lactase-producing probiotics actually do work and are safe, making yogurt with them might be an easy and cheap way to get the same benefits.

Edit: corrected the price to $25/mo

And it's still a problem since everyone uses it as a secret, not a username. So if leaked, you are still at risk. This is why the number realy should have been public from start so companies would not get the idea to use it as password.

I find the post mortem really humanizing. As a customer of GCP there’s no love lost on my end.
At the end of the day, space is what's next. Humans are explorers. We left the safety of the cave, we built ships to cross the vastness of the oceans. We're now building ships to cross the small section of the vastness of space we can.

So far, it's private money moving that direction. It's not tax dollars. If some uber rich asshole wants to spend his money on this, so be it. It's his money. If it doesn't work out, okay, we learn from it. But not going is just not going to happen. It's part of the human experience to ask "what's next" and then do it. Less adventurous can sit at home. The meek shall inherit the earth, the bold are going to space!
I work in a regulated bank and yday night I had to have an auditor look at us deploying a new version on one user, trigger one order, revert back. He ll then spend the next 3 days studying the changes (that we didnt test in front of him) to tell us if yes or not we can deploy.

And god forbid we find a bug in prod, to rollback I suspect we ll need to retrigger an audit :D Next time you ask loudly your representatives to regulate banks even more, think of us poor assholes spending our time filling mindless paperwork :D
Cuba knew they wouldn't be able to buy the vaccines they needed, so they produced their own. More poor countries should have followed this path, rather than waiting on rich countries to gift them extra doses.

There aren't more options readily available at good supply and cost. E.g. dell xps 13: there are exactly two options, fullhd+ and 4k+ (it is 16:10 hence plus). Same for a thinkpad X1. Same for schenker/clevo whatever etc.

> In general case it is not true....

Really? You could at least pretend to argue in good faith...
1: It doesn't prove it. The only thing it proves is that you have the NFT. The only way to prove you have the degree is to contact the central authority, thereby invalidating the need for the blockchain entirely.

2: All your examples can be done easily without blockchain. Perks, discounts, coupons, tickets etc. We already do all of this just fine.

3: "They wouldn't". Lol. Why not? It takes them zero effort, it would be an automated system, and guess what, it totally destroys your whole assertation. Doesn't it? GameX would check with Blizzard for reason that Blizzard would also check with GameX.

4: Ownership with NFTs is entirely unenforceable. Contrary to your point, you are the one who actually doesn't understand NFTs, nor the real world it seems. You seem to want to turn everything into a bearer bond, when in fact nothing in real life will ever work that way.

ID's? Ok, you have some ID token that "proves" you are 21. Does that mean you are 21? No, the only thing it proves is that you have the token. In any consequential case, the entity wanting to verify your age would have to check back with a central authority to determine if it's valid or not, thereby invalidating the need for the blockchain.

Tickets? You somehow think any ticketing agency on earth will hard over all control to what happens to the tickets they have sold?

Coupons? You've seen all the legalese and prohibitions written on coupons I take it. There are more rules about what you can and can't do with a 10% Off Pizza Hut token than many contracts. Yet you think they'll start putting them on the blockchain?

You live in fantasy-land mate. No game company is going to devote a whole bunch of effort and programming time into allowing someone with assets from a competitor to use them in their game.
Hi my name is Mike, I am one of the cofounders of Bactories, the creators of Bactose.

There are only two things truly unique about our strain. 1) It produces about 60% more lactase enzymes than other lactobacillus strains we tested 2) the really key thing, it is evolved to adhere to the mammalian intestinal lining, this is the crucial point of 1 week of taking pills being able to provide 1 or more months of continued efficacy. If you took other LA strains their effects would wear off quickly, why you not get continued lactase tolerance with them.

Let me know any other questions.
Ah they should have asked the different groups to change game at varying intervals. Now they can’t rule out that switching games faster is the cause for more sugar burning.
The article was interesting but what struck me the most was how the website only asked me to subscribe at the very end of the article. So sick am I of showing up to a website and almost immediately get hit with a subscription pop up. “Want more stories like this one?! Subscribe today”. I haven’t even had 2 seconds to read the story how can I know if I want more like this one. I will never give my info to a site like that. But this site asks at the end when I had a chance to assess if I like the writing style and content. Well done.

Ah yeah, fair point in that with monarchies in physical dominions, one is stuck. How I understood the author's blog posts is that one of benefits he proposes for a networked state is that with a virtual dominion, one could belong to many states at once, almost like having poly/plural citizenship. However, i took that to mean I could be joining many 1-person ultimately rules kingdoms at the same time, perhaps amidst oligarchies and democracies and such.

Yeah, no. It might not easily catch fire itself, but it definitely melt off and expose whatever is under it. They have cement composite siding that is probably a much better option if want something that looks and installs like vinyl.

Only two mentions of 'nitrites'? Botulism is the reason we started curing meats with nitrite and nitrate in the first place. Canning is fine, but being able to keep meat at room temperature by just adding common (e.g. available in urine, and celery) chemicals is far more interesting.
Can you expand on why this is unkindness? I've generated lots of very useful discussions with recruiters, with four serious leads for companies I'm interested in, and also rejected many companies immediately based on compensation. As far as I can tell, it's saving both me and the recruiters a good amount of time. I probably wouldn't have bothered with responding to those emails individually.

Maybe you think that I'm sending the recruiters these emails to troll them, and not actually responding? Certainly not; in fact, I have a policy of always replying to any recruiter who takes the time to reply to one of my bot emails.

The equivalent might be running an automated fuzzing process and opening issues on the relevant repos. People actually do that, and it's generally a valuable service.

Actually, the recruiters are reaching out to me, and I'm replying. I'm not automatically submitting my resume to a hundred resume portals. It would be more like opting into Github's Dependabot and then getting annoyed when they open security issues on my repository.

Things like negotiating compensation up-front are due to several situations where I didn't receive compensation details up-front, then went through their interview process, and got an offer that I wouldn't have accepted anyways. So I've added details like that to avoid these kinds of situations in the future.
Just click reader mode in Firefox.
Why?

If you read past post mortem, you should notice that configuration induced outages have been the sole category of all large-scale outages.

GCP is repeating the same mistake with similar cycle. (Don't quote on this, that's just my impression)

That means they are not improving the situation.
As the (previous) operator of a reasonably sized community forum: A prominent user of disposable emails is griefers and trolls who use it for ban evasion.

Preventing disposable email registration pushes the bar just that little bit higher that it really helps with these kinds of users.

In fact, this is the reason we even had email verification at all (it used to be effective against spammers, but those days seem to have gone)
Most phone snatchers aren't after the information on the phone. The point is not that this would not be a targeted attack (it would be), but that it might not require a particular combination of circumstances or set-up to follow one around and snap just-the-right-angle photo.

Cuba is unique for a poor country in that it has rich medical resources. I don’t think any other smaller poor country could have pulled this off (debatable if Cuba is even that poor given its healthcare and education resources).
First let me say I love htmx. It's nice to be able to write a little web app with minimal javascript and fuss.

It's all well and good to have your API return HTML when your only client is a web browser. And for many applications (like many of mine) that is enough.

But HTTP APIs are most powerful when they are client-agnostic. JSON is terrible in so many ways but it is at least neutral ground: it can be consumed by any HTTP client (which need not be a web browser) and every programming language that matters. For my day job, I deal with a great many HTTP APIs that are never seen or used by a browser. Authentication systems, data storage, schedulers, etc

I can write a Python script that turns a JSON API response into a native Python object with a single line of code. How can you do _that_ with a HATEOAS response that is basically guaranteed to contain arbitrary HTML?

> frameworks are for resumes, not for sense or pleasure

Frameworks automate the boilerplate away so you can focus on the things that deliver business value. Clients ultimately don't care how their problem gets solved, but from your perspective you're better off spending 1 hour implementing the business logic rather than that + an extra 10 hours implementing a URL routing system, database access/management/migrations, etc.
Your description makes it sound like they are actually effective, with all those carefully designed procedures. Sadly, execution is everything and I have seen absolutely no evidence of them justifying the many billions of taxpayer dollars
The problem is when the manager gives out quick, direct harsh feedback, but the manager himself doesn't accept any from his reports. That is a very toxic environment. So if you want to do this then you need to make sure that you yourself can handle it. If a report gives you harsh feedback, don't get angry and retaliate for no reason, that feedback is just a piece of information, instead just explain why you did what you did.

By the way, any programmer accepts direct feedback, otherwise you can't work with a compiler. Feedback should be direct, quick and fair. I see no reason to do anything else, and if someone feels uncomfortable with that you can just train them to get used to it, everyone who programs can get used to it quickly. However you can't train your manager to accept direct feedback as he will just fire you if he can't already handle it.

Also, rules only matter when problems arise. If you dont care abt processes and the error rate is low you'll never have any issue.

But just because you can fix issues quickly doesnt mean you ll survive having one everyday, so testing before prod in this case starts saving you money and time.

Thank you for this terrific quote that I'm going to have to upset managers and clients with. This is the eloquence that I've been striving to express for a decade.
I'm not who you are replying to, but am a contributor since the v1 ish days and will try to remain respectful, as I feel you usually are.

It feels the main inflammatory issue pointed out is 'bought' vs 'agreed to take over.' It is an important distinction, but to the end user the result is the same. Many have lamented a noticeably degraded experience. I'm curious if the original maintainer would have agreed to such action(in fairness, it doesn't matter, just wondering).

Further, many have expressed their distaste with the banner. I don't want to rehash or argue that here, and probably you don't either. FWIW, I'm just a passive observer and never argued one way or another. However, I'm not sure just ignoring folks is the right answer either.

One can see how both changes could lead to a lot of dissatisfaction, I think.

All of that aside, the legal issue described is a real double edged sword. It feels like G only blesses certain licenses to an end user. I have some trouble believing a company of Google's size worries about the implication of what boils down to analyzing publicly available data. Does Google check for and bless licenses in their web crawler?
Digital cameras were really only viable from ~2000-2010. Kodak might have been able to move those boundaries a bit, but you need mass adoption of fast enough computers and cheap enough flash, and the smartphones killed digital point-and-shoots by 2010.

Do you have any ideas on how this can happen without the same shocks that devastated local industries and social safety nets in the former Eastern Bloc? They were bad enough in developed European countries backed by a superpower (hell, look at how the superpower turned out), I can't begin to imagine how bad it would be in a small country like Cuba.
Hi my name is Mike, I am one of the cofounders of Bactories, the creators of Bactose.

Our COGS are $10.09/pack shipped first class mail (add $1.80 if we get the custom shipping box). Then we have to spend on marketing, and spend money on making mistakes, we also have robust R&D activity that needs to be funded. This all adds up, we sell each pack $30 or $40 delivered (as low as $15/pack if use coupons on your first order).

I think our marketing sucks, neither me nor the other founder are good at. If you or if you know someone who can help us with the marketing, to drive down our customer aquisition costs, and increase sales so our COGs decline with increased volumes, I will gladly lower the price. I would rather sell 1 million packs and make $1 on each then sell 1 pack for $1million dollars, if you get what I am saying.

I disagree.

Recruiters who mass spam the emails of folks they’ve harvested from LinkedIn or elsewhere receiving a more or less templated response in kind is anything but mean. It’s awesome!

Imagine a recruiter recruiting for a machine learning role and they got such an email!

The best developers automate the boring stuff and sifting through templated recruiter emails is hella boring.

The bacteria thrives in rotting meat, so killing the host might be exactly what it needs. It produces lots of spores present everywhere, so transmission from host to host is not an issue.

Edit: what's -> lots
too corporate. this is not whipping the llamas ass
Can it be randomness? Unless paralyzing/killing the host is actively harmful, it might evolve by chance and remain as-is.
Being an anaerobic bacteria and one that can lie dormant for long periods of time, I don't think it needs the host to be alive.
NVC is easy to teach but takes some time to learn. You can fit a description of NVC on an index card and yet it will still take you a while to put it into practice well. Theory is easy but praxis is hard.

I hear the criticism that stuff like NVC is “manipulative” and I think I get where the feeling comes from, but I also feel that systems like NVC are generally, on the balance, very helpful. The baseline for communication skills is shockingly low in most offices I’ve worked in. I like NVC because it focuses on things like communicating facts, communicating your personal feelings, and sharing your goals. A lot of people tend to skip out on basic stuff like communicating facts or sharing goals with people they work with, and what it ends up doing is sabotaging the ability of other people to give you what you want, or it moves too fast and puts people on the defensive.

> …where I feel like there's a reason these communication styles don't come naturally to us, and there is a bit of a manipulative aspect to them.

IMO people are naturally manipulative and it takes conscious effort to be honest with people. I don’t necessarily mean that we are consciously trying to manipulate people, just that we try different communication strategies and tend to keep using manipulative communication strategies if those strategies get us what we want. We send our children to school and church, we discipline them and tell them about right and wrong, all in the hope that they will grow up to be good people. Kids will lie their little mouths off from the day that they learn how to lie (usually around age 4-6) and then we have to teach them not to lie, which can be difficult.

The “natural” communication strategies include things like crying until you get what you want, or telling lies when you get caught doing things. Again, not trying to say human nature is evil, but that honesty is something you have to learn.
I am having trouble understanding the usefulness of all these new pseudo-HDL languages.

In all the projects that I've worked on, the choice of HDL (which was 95% of the time, Verilog, for the rest, VHDL), was never actually 'important'; the language features were never critical to the completion of the project. Verilog is fully adequate for any kind of serious HDL development.

What mattered were, the tooling, IDEs, debuggers, timing analysis tools, verification infrastructure, the IP ecosystem, etc.

Perhaps I am getting old but I just can not see how these new languages can be a serious alternative to Verilog/VHDL.

It shouldn’t be. This is what I do. I have a set of questions to every ask ok LinkedIn or email that I get. I respond with a thank you and my questions: remote? Salary, total comp, company name, tech stack. And it filters out a lot of things that will go nowhere.
Clostridium botulinum is anaerobic, and live in soil, so living humans are not a particularly good host. Dead humans could be, though, so natural selection would favor strains that efficiently returned themselves and their descendants back to the soil.
Yeah, I think in that case, just make a decision as to whether or not you're going to use Pool or Conn in your application code. If you change your mind, just refactor; it's not worth maintaining the interface just to open up the opportunity to change in the future. Pool is probably the right choice forever.

If it's for testing, I'd just skip mocking that out and run the queries against the real database, like you do in the article. Production is going to connect to Postgres and run `select * from foobars`. Might as well run `select * from foobars` in the tests, so I'm not surprised when it doesn't work in production.
It all depends on circumstances. Like all these articles it can be very good or very bad advice. Great if you have a small team that you afford to hand pick, bad for larger ones where you also need to employ people who just can't handle the truth (large percentage of population). Insincere motivational speeches exists for a reason: they work.
Evolution doesn't need purpose.
