If you don't have bulging discs or other severe pathology, the easiest way to fix your back is to train the posterior chain via low bar barbell squats. Start light, work slowly up to your body weight, you don't have to go much further, but you can if you want to. Most men should be able to handle at least 1.5x their lean body mass after a couple of years of very mild training, added by balanced nutrition. Train 3x a week. Your back problems will resolve in a month. Most people's back problems are caused by atrophy of back stabilizer muscles, which, in turn, is caused by not using them and sitting hunched over at their desk all day.

Doctors will _never_ advise this, but it works. I couldn't even bend over without any weight, and had to lie down on the floor in the office sometimes it was so bad. I also had RSI in my wrists to the point I couldn't sleep some nights. After I started training with a barbell it all went away never to return. I know 4 people who followed my advice and did the same thing, and their back problems resolved as well. Best of all, you don't have to do it all the time, once you develop quality musculature there, the effect lasts for years with little upkeep. Although you should keep it in shape, of course - it's better for you, and increased muscle mass is good for weight loss, too (a lot of people think they have back problems, but they really have a huge chunk of fat hanging on the front of their body and it's pulling on their back and destroying their knees, too).
The documentation is shit though, I spent a full hour digging through forum answers trying to increase my swap space. All this bpool zpool crap.

And then my system /boot got full of some snapshot (wtf I never asked for this), apt-get failed to live up to its promise of magic, got more hell about a 20% preservation rule (again wtf).

Was cutting and pasting some zpool zsysctl zc -a -f -foo -bar and then some sudo zfs destroy bpool npool zpool/blah/autosys@ubuntu_h2h3rc4h stuff. I cut and pasted a bunch of stuff off the forums I didn't understand until apt-get worked again.

I didn't understand a word of it, and there was zero documentation in the obvious places.

I'm done with ZFS. Back to ext4. It just works.
Circuit City being listed among the retailers that left in 2008 raised red flags for me. Hmmm, what happened in 2008, and with Circuit City?

I'm not sure about the parking lot sinking vs. the buildings floating. On one hand, it does seem like a heavy building wouldn't stay put while the plain asphalt sunk down under virtually no weight. But maybe the foundations were properly compacted while the rest of the parking lot wasn't? Or some other steps were taken to prepare the (known) landfill for a heavy building, but nothing was done for just a plain tarmac? Because the heaviest structures floating upward while the rest of the parking lot stays put doesn't seem intuitive to me either.

This is fairly common in newish kitchens in the Netherlands too, especially if the kitchen is far away from the boiler. Sometimes even with a boiling water tap, so you don't even need a kettle anymore.
Sort of in the sense it comes from your bank account; but the settlement process is different, and can take longer.

Faster Payments (bank transfers in the UK) for example settle 3 times per day and are intended to be instant.

Debit cards usually settle daily and there can be a delay; which is why you will see an Auth on your account (card payments go; Auth to lock the money, Payment to set up the payment, and Settlement to move the actual cash). This is why the EU mandated banks start to show actual funds available (balance less all auths and other pending payments) as it can sometimes take days to settle debit card payments and people can be unsure of their balance.

In general, finance is an example of the "99 standards" error; in that every so often new standards come in to fix things but just add another approach to the mix (don't get me started on Direct Debits!)

Are there any measures that might prevent users from installing docker applications containing malware, e.g. mining scripts? It is very important to at least communicate risks to users in coding-less solutions.
I would argue the opposite. The rate of change due to biological impact on Earth has been slowly speeding up ever since life developed.

Changes that used to take hundreds of millions of years now happen in decades. And there is no sign of slow down.

I am not arguing negatively or positively about the future, simply that the efficiency of innovation and scaling new changes are increasing, so the rate of change continues to increase.

This is the Holocene.

I think geo-engineering the planet is inevitable, completely aside from that as a climate issue. We already have many planet wide systems, and the number and scale of them are growing.

I loved my TiVo, almost everything about the end to end experience was flawless. Just recalling the ‘be-bip’ sound of interacting with the UI still brings me joy. The interface was as simple as you could ever hope for (and structurally similar to the navigation in iOS). Up, down, left, right, pause, rewind, fast forward, thumbs up and down. Everything was built on simple consistent primitives and everything felt immediate, in a way no TV has to me in more than a decade. Even the control felt nicer in your hand than the usual slab of plastic. Coming home to new episodes of Star Trek it had kindly decided to record always gave me a warm feeling that this smart little box was on my side. Too many devices feel like a fight against something utterly soulless these days.
Still using my ~10 year old MacbookPro pretty much every day. The little plastic feet have fallen off and I'm on my second power adapter (and that is looking a bit ropey), otherwise it still works great.

My new favorite reset is this one: https://elad2412.github.io/the-new-css-reset/

Here's a great interview with the author on CSS Tricks that explains some of the design choices in depth (this is where I first came across it): https://css-tricks.com/an-interview-with-elad-shechter-on-th...

TL;DR: This rule does most of the heavy lifting and is the most novel aspect of this approach:

/\* Remove all the styles of the "User-Agent-Stylesheet", except for the 'display' property */
*:where(:not(iframe, canvas, img, svg, video):not(svg \*)) {
all: unset;
display: revert;
}

It practically wipes out all styling from user agents across the board, so you will never again need to exhaustively override every undesirable user agent style to get an element to look exactly the way you want. The styles you've placed on an element explicitly become (for the most part) the only things that will contribute to its appearance.

I've been prototyping with it at https://app.reflame.dev/ and it honestly feels like a breath of fresh air in terms of productivity.

One thing I've learned to watch out for when using it, is that it also happens to wipe out the default focus state styles of interactive elements like button, anchor, etc (the blue outline in Chrome). This is the reset working as intended, but it's also a show-stopping accessibility issue if not properly addressed in userland by adding some form of visual focus indicator back in. I have a feeling we might discover more gotcha's like this as time goes on, but so far this is the only one I've noticed, and as a result I've been very happy with the tradeoff.
Things maybe be "addressed," but that doesn't make them right.

> Apple disabled subpixel antialiasing across the operating system

Right, so what is he disabling exactly?

> Chrome and Safari still use subpixel antialiasing by default

Wrong. They do not. Zoom in yourself. There are no colored pixels.

That CSS line basically acts as a `font-weight: -=100` across the document. That's all it does, and that does not belong to a CSS reset. You might as well set the rest of the `font` properties and call it a regular stylesheet.

I know what responsive means. I went from maximized window to narrower than many websites can handle and it adapts flawlessly. No idea how anyone could call this not responsive.
It’s great that you actually looked at the paper and you inspired me to do the same. But could you please explain why you think the correlations seem “really really small”? To me they actually seem surprisingly high. Some examples: 0.25 for safetyism, -0.47 for resilience, 0.45 for loneliness. Especially the latter two are almost shockingly high given what we see elsewhere in psychology. You can’t expect one multi-faceted construct like social cognitive distortions to fully or almost fully explain some other complex and multifaceted construct like safetyism. If the correlation was super high, that would just mean that we’re likely using two different names for the same thing. Plus it’s not just a single correlation that supports the hypothesis in this paper but the whole pattern of correlations is consistent with it as far as I can tell as a non-expert. I haven’t read the paper closely, and the conclusions may very well be entirely wrong, but I wouldn’t conclude that based on the correlations.

I hate how rooting became pretty much non-viable on Android. Losing OTA updates is a dealbreaker for me and all I really want is having an option to record my calls, which is legal in my country and often comes handy. It sounds like something a smartphone should definitelly be capable of by default.
Agree, google done got us good with widevine DRM. Time for another go at standardized open-source DRM implementation?
Yes - but it's likely they'll be releasing those in cinema's and not doing premiere's on Disney+ as they did during the lockdowns.
Wait, why are they using 45 characters to encode 16 bits when you only need 41?

Especially when they could have avoided % and space.
Nice to know the history of css resets and that you don’t need them anymore for their original purpose but this is a nice short starting point. Not to blindly copy in but gives some options to consider.
«AvtaleGiro» is such a time saver. Utilities, electricity, internet, road tax, insurance and almost all kinds of recurring payments happens automatically and electronically.
It's even worse than that in terms of correctness, because the author confuses the EU ( economic and political bloc), Europe ( the continent) and the eurozone ( countries in a monetary union with the single currency, euro). SEPA is a thing for euro-denominated transfers in the EU and some extra countries ( UK, Norway, etc.).

Belarus, a country in Europe, but outside the EU and eurozone, aren't in SEPA . Romania, inside the EU but not in the eurozone, are in SEPA. Montenegro are outside of the EU and eurozone, use the euro, but aren't in SEPA.

for mysql at least, if you're dealing with table names you can just do a backtick escape, where you wrap the table/column name in backticks and escape any backticks within it with two backticks.

From my perspective that is not so much a reset/normalize.css but more something like a base.css.

A reset.css is supposed to create a common truth across different browsers. However, this doesn't concern so much with different browser default settings but more with developer preference for specific behaviors, like e.g. the boxing model (which is the often being done in a base.css/scss in addition to a reset.css).

That is not bad, just the wrong term being used. That being said, I like those settings :-)
I think you have interesting points to make, but the conclusion is a cop-out. There's various useful ways you can answer beyond "if I were Kim".

In faithful observance of commenting praxis, I have not read TFA. But it seems TFA expects an answer instead of taking the opportunity to dig into the way different groups answer and their reasonning for doing so.

If the finding were that .75 of trauma-free people agree it's reasonable for Kim to feel like she wasn't included in the decision (the perception that the choice was made by her friends), would that change your mind?

I know I'd be interested to know why, if data showed the opposite interpretation is popular :)

Or, you know, your employer doesn't pay you the 25th.

But explaining anything outside of the typically Dutch circumstances is an unfortunate part of life for the not typically Dutch in the Netherlands. Its a deeply cultural thing, this extreme hang towards conformation to a defacto 'normal'.

FYI: millions of Dutch have these kinds of problems. Look up the working poor, its a big group there. IMHO all native Dutch should be forced a few weeks internship with a budget council service, there are so many incorrect preconceptions about poverty. Including who it hits, which definitely includes people who thought they could never possibly be hit, did their finances right, etc.
> Python was written with people like scientists in mind.

Having just taught a bunch of scientists Python, I'm skeptical of this.

Stuff that is obvious to me, but really hard to explain to coding beginners:

* why `len(list)` but `str.join(...)`? I.e. why are there two ways to call functions?

* why does `[]` do so many different things? List comprehensions, list construction, subsetting, sometimes it secretly calls a method....

* why in the name of god is the first row called 0?

* and then why does [0:3] mean rows 1, 2 and 3, not rows 0, 1, 2, 3 or 1, 2, 3, 4?

* ... except in pandas where sometimes [foo:bar] includes bar...

* in general, why is pandas so damn complex?

I thought it'd be easier to teach than R, but I'm not quite so certain now.

> I think it's absurd that I can set a div to a specific width (100px, 200px, whatever) and the padding or border will make the div larger than that width.

That’s not what’s happening.

Imagine you have a physical box. The contents are 10cm wide. There is padding of 2cm on each side. And the space around the box is 3cm. How wide is the box? It’s not 10cm; it’s 14cm.

When you say:

> I can set a div to a specific width

…you aren’t setting the width of the div, you are setting the width of its contents. That’s why the property value is box-sizing: content-box – because you are setting the width of the content.

If you’re setting the width of the content when you mean to set the width of the box, then no wonder it’s not doing what you want.
Yes. In Switzerland it's Twint. It's easy to use, instant and free for the user. It started out as an easy way to move small amounts of money around among family and friends without the hassle of doing a bank transfer. Now large grocery stores and online shops support it too. I don't see it overtaking the whole payment market because of the exclusivity to Switzerland. It'd be great if something like Twint would exist but usable and prevalent all over the world.
I was going to write the same thing. The key is to be a good person and do excellent work consistently.

It sounds simple, but not many people actually do it.

>One woman, Sandy Funk, had begun having blackouts at the age of 37, having developed a brain tumor. She got herself onto a diet of natural juices and vitamins, and was able to live for another 18 years, but only after they had removed two thirds of her tumor via a surgery.
I'm a scientist, I use REPL a ton. Notebooks are fine too, but there's a thing called exploration and nothing beats REPL speed for that.

In future it would be great to mashup something like repl.it with Jupyter notebooks, maybe with Medium-style wysiwyg. That might really win.
It's pretty great. These transfers sometimes arrive within <1s. The speed and ease of use is something that cryptocurrencies are "trying" to "solve" (Among other things). Most aren't aware of the wide adoption here already, of course there are other aspects crypto's score better on. But if all bank transfers would be a Tikkie, then what would Crypto's, in terms of ease of use and speed have to offer?

The reason beginners have a hard time with 0 based indexing is that humans count from 1. Seriously, I've spent weeks trying to tell people "yeah, we want rows 4 and 5, so that's, uh, rows 3 and 4..." and they think it's nuts, and I now think they're right.
You say it like Spotify has loads of bargaining power in this negotiation.

When Spotify started whether the big labels would even licence anything to such a service was far from a given. Many digital music platforms had failed in the previous 10+ years cos the labels wouldn’t work with them.

The way I see it a Spotify subscription is about the price of a CD per month. So the spend is probably similar for most people as the amount they would have spent on music previously.

The difference now is that people listen to a much much larger number of songs in total in any month. They don’t listen to one album over and over and over again like before. So that same spend gets spread way more thinly than previously.

Lastly on the label issue the labels power is significantly undermined. You don’t need a million dollars to build a recording studio and make a record any more. There is much more scope to put out your own shit and get 100% of the streaming revenue.

New times, new reality. The labels treating streams revenue like they did CD revenue shouldn’t surprise anyone, and is not Spotify’s fault.

> Given that these direct debit agreements are revokable at any point in time, I doubt the claims of very high fraud rate.

I think the claim is that because SEPA direct debits can be revoked within a very long window after settlement, it's more common that payments are revoked after goods/services have been provided (leaving businesses holding the bag). Whether this fits the precise definition of fraud I'm not sure, the payment was valid and successful, but later reversed. It would be a more interesting claim if there were some empirical comparisons included, but it certainly matches my experience.

Edited to add: another common form of fraud is somebody providing legitimate bank details of an unwitting victim. At least for some banks in Germany, the bank does not actually enforce authorisation from the account holder when a new direct debit mandate is introduced. The fraudster receives goods/services for free as long as the victim doesn't notice the charges.
> The Justice Department’s investigation of what it called the “737 max Fraud Conspiracy” resulted only in one deferred prosecution (a kind of corporate plea deal). An unnamed pilot suggests a different title to Mr Robison: “Boeing got away with it”

I wonder if they really got away with it - will the public think twice about Boeing's competence when booking flights or airlines when purchasing planes. If they had been taken to court, paid a massive fine, procedures/structure changed and a few heads publicly rolled - would the 'new Boeing' be in a better position for the future?
Thanks for the concern and the luck.

I would say I don’t have a addiction. Sorry if it came across that way. By most common standards I am already a outlier I feel. I don’t do social media, news or mindlessly browsing in general. I don’t watch tv either. I mostly read some books and may be an economist article here and there during a week. Online consumption might be 2-3 hours per week at the most in extreme cases. Mostly is 5-10 mins a day.

I guess for me I feel I dont produce anything (at work ) or in personal life. Personal life is mostly playing a what seems like a perpetual catch-up on “life chores”.

In that sense may be I am in a rut and need to do something “productive” (for myself). Like literally and metaphorically. :)
its funny to think that if bitcoin crashed tomorrow all this could be for $2.84c
It’s moronic to keep asserting that Spotify had all the power here, or made the decision on how the labels should distribute revenues.

In addition to being great and having features of more expensive machines it can be trivially modded for flow profiling. You can now do what decent/slayer/lever owners do and pressure profile. Ok maybe it doesn’t quite compare to those but they are a multiple of the price, and now you can do the coffee shots, turbo shots, blooming shots and all that fun stuff.

Not bad, although I assume you’d want to grab the standard financial statements on your way to the last page for some context. The important thing is to actually read the report, and bring a lot of context to the read from your other studies so you can make a better decision (or improve your contextual knowledge for the next report.)
