Morale. Not too many things upset people more than messing with the food. Upset soldiers means uncooperative, unmotivated soldiers. Yeah, MREs aren't great but at least they're warm and taste like something recognizable.

For example, NASA puts a lot of effort into making the astronauts' food things they actually want to eat. Another example, Ford tried to establish a city in Brazil for rubber plantation workers called Fordlandia. The breaking point that led them to revolt wasn't the horrendous working conditions, it was the food (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordl%C3%A2ndia#Revolts). Even old school emergency ration packs had candy in it.

You don't mess with the food.

It's hard to imagine it using SMP, so only one core should be active, and it's not likely to use many of the advanced functional units. I imagine you have a pretty high "thermal margin" in that run state.
Soldier morale is important and Soylent is not exactly morale boosting
Apple also hasn't fixed the Mail.app bug for years (sometimes, when you are in full screen mode, Mail.app suddenly activates and fills half the screen).

Search for it. There are countless threads about the issue online, and last time I checked noone knew of a way to prevent it.

Imagine holding a presentation, or watching a film with someone, and suddenly your private emails fill half the screen...
> I thought they wanted to show that the phylogenetic tree is not really a tree!

Well, it isn't. That wouldn't be news. A node in the phylogenetic tree can easily have multiple parents; it's a DAG, not a tree.
The nested divs themselves would not affect SEO. The problem may be caused by divs being used in place of proper semantic tags, which may have an effect. But even then, the affect would be minimal. And I’m not sure what you mean by certain “weak devices” being affected. I’ve been writing and blogging about HTML for 15 years and have never heard of that.
Someone already mentioned Unity as ahead of the curve.

I was impressed by it being a “Framework IDE.” It contains hundreds of visual tools and workflows where actual source code files are a small component which you drag and drop into widgets. Each widget is a visual representation of a class, and it’s source code is irrelevant.

Some of these tools are visual state machines, reactions to events, version control, collaboration. Most of us won’t like that change, as we’d lose a lot of control to opinionated rigid tools.

Maybe XCode and Android Studio will evolve to that for the next generation of developers.
Though for 80-90% og cases out there you seriously don’t need k8s, and when the small internal IT dept that used to “manage” a dozen virtual machines starts talking about “need to keep up with the times and use new tech” what they are really saying is “let’s gamble infrastructure stability on my personal self education in k8s for my next job” and it’s perfectly reasonable to give them a hard no.

Most of the earthquake safe areas in San Francisco aren't zoned for density. Many of the denser areas are in high-risk liquefaction zones. If you don't support building in high-risk areas, then you should support upzoning the low-risk areas, which today are predominately low-density residential areas.

This is not smells good for me.
The entire text sounds overly emotional and inaccurate for a medical professional. One example:

> the body can only absorb a maximum of 100 mg a day, with the rest creating the world's most expensive urine

An adult can absorb up to 500 mg of vitamin C: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12134712/

And vitamin C is one of the cheapest supplements, at least in that part of globe I currently in. The entire line about "expensive urine" is taken from a handbook of party conversations.
This is like saying cars are used to escape from bank robberies or people walk out their front doors to commit crimes.

Just insane, sorry.
Same thought. Where I grew up...if water didn't kill it, tornados would. The only barns that stood the test of time were made from the now nearly extinct chestnut. They turn grey and get knotty and twisty as they age but are nearly indestructible. Everything else rots away in the humidity.

One rather interesting memory...I remember my father rebuilding an old barnish structure with railroad ties for the frame. Apparently they soak those suckers in tar...out in the sun each day they'd start sweating some black tar stuff again that's nearly impossible to get off your hands. Those haven't aged a day in 20ish years. Makes me curious why more structural wood isn't treated this way.
Author here. Yes, but you have to use the extended 509 byte "friendly branch" version, in order to get error messages on undefined behavior. For example, if I mistype a variable name as "FUDGE" then it'll longjmp() out of the evaluator and print "?FUDGE": https://justine.lol/sectorlisp2/debugging.png

If we were to do that in the main branch, it'd get caught in an infinite loop. You can always define a higher-level LISP evaluator on top of it which has undefined variable reporting. So that doesn't make it a toy. Doing nothing on undefined behavior may be hostile and dangerous, but it's legal as far as optimizations are concerned. If what you said were true, then Clang and GCC would be toys, since they'll often exploit undefined behaviors to gain an edge in benchmarks, by generating code so that the world might end if an integer overflows.

So one way you could think of it is the 436 byte version is your release branch and the 509 byte version is your dev branch. Both of which fit inside the 512 byte boot sector!
Fun fact: 160x160 is still a higher resolution than you get with 4-player splitscreen on the N64 (which would be 160x120).
I understand how and why they have the naming system they do, I just am claiming that it’s become less and less helpful for amateur identification in favor of what scientists consider useful. I propose an alternative naming convention based only on the expressed characteristics as discoverable by the human eye rather than whatever DNA happens to be in the plant and how that may or may not relate to whatever DNA happens to be in other plants. Basically just demoting the value of DNA in favor of things you can actually see. This clearly wouldn’t replace the existing classifications, merely provide an alternative for folks looking for more explainable names.

Just like how a computer scientist might classify computer programs by instruction set, frameworks, libraries, etc. (things that show up clearly in the machine code but cannot be easily observed from the surface); but a layperson would just use UI and available features (things that are nearly indecipherable from the machine code but immediately obvious on cursory glance)
Well, I am not the one who should talk about the goals since I am not a ReactOS developer. But I can tell that NT 8.2 do not exist. You probably meant NT 6.2, on which WDDM took over the business.

I assume it's because of the backward compatibility. But it also would be because of the fact that to implement 5.2 APIs, they need XDDM. Skipping right from 5.2 to 6.2 would cause a non operational state for a long time due to lack of APIs implemented and the WDDM. Windows 2000 had about 1400 full time devs and 800 full time testers. And ReactOS probably have 10-20 active contributors maybe. I don't know the numbers but there is a huge difference. And I can understand the requirements of an incremental development approach.

The claim is that stuff was broken, and PA just exposed the bugs; and PW benefits from all the fixes done for PA.

I have no way to evaluate the claim, and don't really care what the real story is.

PA mostly works, now, and PW mostly works, now. But PW does have bugs, and is, inexplicably, coded in C, for which there can be no excuse at this late date. It could be switched over to build in C++ in probably under a day, and then begin to be modernized, anytime, as was done with Gcc and Gdb with unalloyed success.

PW is written by the main guy from Gstreamer, which used to crash all the damn time back when PA went silent a lot. But he is older now and has lots of help.
Depends on who makes it and their skill.

This looks nice, i was thinking of adding some vector support in my Little Forms[0] GUI toolkit at some point but everything feels overcomplicated and bloated - however this looks quite nice at a first glance. As i don't have any advanced vector drawing code at all (aside from the basic "draw line, draw circle" etc needed to draw the GUI itself) it can work as a template for what to put in there.

Have several friends in healthcare. Multiple have relayed similar stories.

However, to your question: how many of these people are begging for the vaccine, and how?

It's a surprising number. These patients don't understand how vaccines work outside of movies and TV, and as such think it's either bullshit or at the last minute feel like it's a miracle.

Because at the end of the road, you realize that you've been told lies by those you trusted. There's a clarity in the end moments. Situations like these where you have no choice but to think about what you've been told and the ramifications of your actions.

And so these people fall back on the last thing that wasn't at least blatantly false, which is a social understanding of medicine. Vaccines cure diseases, or so we're told in our school days. So much of the American medical psyche is built around medicine being a solution for the current ailment, not a prophylactic for the likely future.

A huge part of the antivax rhetoric is "but I'm healthy now". They don't see it as preventing illness in the future. To them a vaccine is an antidote, a fix for a problem.

And so they beg for the antidote when it is obvious that they are at the end of the line. They don't understand that it's not a fix for now, it's prevention for later.

As for how they can: function degrades, yes, but its biggest impact is on duty cycle. You go from being able to talk constantly to mustering enough energy to speak a few minutes at a time to making it 30 seconds, to 4...5 seconds, to losing it entirely. You get bursts of energy, but each burst comes with a toll. Maybe a few more moments here but a long delay as you recover from it.
The problem is that Apple has been crippling macOS at the fringes for years in the name of "security".

It's getting safer and safer if all you want to do is watch Netflix and check your emails, but it's getting harder and harder to get your work done.

Every time this happens a small minority that is affected screams "this is interfering with my workflow" and the majority says "get over it".

As Apple keeps doing this, eventually they are going to break something you rely on.
Two different replies to the same post both quoted the phrase "I've been on reddit for 14 years, trust me", so presumably that phrase had been in the original post, but has since been deleted via an edit.

I don't understand why the default seems to be using arrow keys for movement, instead of WASD. A gamepad has the movement controls on the left hand, either d-pad or stick, and for PC games, using WASD for movement is standard. Using arrow keys swaps the hands, and thus makes it less intuitive to anyone with gaming experience. It's the equivalent of forcing anyone who comes to your website to switch which hand they use for their mouse.

At the very least, just support arrow keys AND WASD.
Except what you wrote isn't what the parent comment wrote. If we know what doses other people are prescribing as "effective", then we do know the effective dose. Their immediate sentence before said we don't know the effective dose. And you accuse me of being obtuse. This is aside from the point that there's an effective (and not lethal dose) of Ivermectin for treating parasites. It does not follow that that same dosage would be effective for covid. We have no idea what that effective dose might be for covid, if any. It could be lethal, it could not be. That's the entire point.
- Professionally, much of my output is in Python--everyone else in the shop knows it--with a smattering of C when it's warranted. That said, I'm an Emacs user, and I do write libraries and custom modes in Elisp to do things I find useful. In the hopes that others will, too, I make them available to my colleagues.

- I use Common Lisp at home for personal projects when shell scripts no longer cut it. When the Python 3 storm hit my ~/bin, it occurred to me that one of CL's best features is that its specification has been stable for several years (even while the ecosystem has evolved considerably).
I dunno. He didn’t elaborate. We left pretty quickly after that and she found a doctor who helped her figure out and treat her multiple allergies.
It's not quite an apples-to-apples comparison, but the memory use of FlutterFlow is comparable to WebFlow. Our landing page is built using WebFlow, and I compared memory use of that to a comparably sized project in FF.

I really wanted to move to Kodi to be able to run everything locally (Plex requires a login etc) but it was way too much friction for my use case (and I don't think it is such a unique use case). I keep my media in separate folders for each genre and wanted to do a one-to-one mapping of folder to "library" so that I can just click on, say, "sci-fi" and see all the movies for that in a grid and so on. Plex makes this very easy and for Kodi, I had to do investigate all sorts of workarounds like creating "dynamic views" (or something similar I think) and even then it wasn't as smooth and easy as Plex. Also, some of the features require specific themes which is not a great design IMHO. Basically gave up and have continued with Plex - it seems to be the gold standard in the balance between polish and features (always happy to explore other options though).
Assuming it never crashes into a planet/a star/an alien spaceship, it is probably going to outlast the human race.

Agree, to an extent. Forcing things on people is required of a functioning society. Government and laws and whatnot.

I genuinely don't know where the lines should be drawn on the entire spectrum. Law of unintended consequences and all that.

Well, she went to a different doctor later who helped her diagnose & treat her allergies. Which made exercising easier too, turns out. Who’d have thought? (Her. One of the reasons she’d sought treatment is that the difficulty breathing through the nose was making it unpleasant to exercise.)

Ask HN: How to estimate my stories properly and not let them overflow
I am currently struggling with this issue where I am not able to estimate efforts properly for stories and they get moved out of the sprint because I could not finish them on time.

There are multiple reasons for that.

1. I work on a legacy codebase and our lead told us to refactor along with normal task. It means every story has some wider scope that it looks from the title and description.

2. I am a wanna be perfectionist and try to refactor the older code and make it "beautiful" even when I am not told to do it, so I end up with a wider scope than the story was initially planned

3. Sometimes when I am in the "zone" and I find the work interesting I do finish task very quickly but when I am not in the "zone" I struggle to even write basic unit tests. This has given me a false sense of "quickness" in my mind and I end up overcommitting. How do I overcome this?

I would like some advice from the experienced devs out there. Please help.
That's not corruption as it pertains to their objectives though. That's a crime, one that should be punished, obviously. It doesn't have anything to do with the primary objectives of the WHO, especially not as it pertains to for instance COVID. Corruption would be, hypothetically, taking payoffs or bribes to avoid doing their jobs. You have not, and nor has anyone else here, offered evidence of corruption.

NLTK Book: Natural Language Processing with Python
I smell a hoax. Looking at the poster's history there are a bunch of posts that are practically copy pastes of each other.

He makes a couple of blatantly dubious medical claims. For example he claims that Ivermectin doesn't work (probably true) with a followup claim that it does work but you have to give so much you'd OD from it.

In other posts he claims "every ICU patient is covid" which is a repeated hoax we've seen. At the very least it doesn't differentiate people in ICU who have covid vs people in ICU because of covid, and how many of the people caught their covid while in the hospital/ICU, etc.

ICUs aren't full. If this is actually a doctor and they are actually in an ICU that's temporarily full, it definitely is not always full. Statistically ICU beds in hospitals are at pre-pandemic vacancy levels.

Lastly, and this isn't really fact based, but it's too "on the nose". The whole narrative they've created is like it was written by a third rate script writer to sell the narrative. It's "too perfect" for his side. The truth is bad enough, people really are dying and suffering. There really are a lot of conspiracy people. But it's just to clean for his side.
Truly deadly virus's don't kill a lot of people. Evolutionally speaking, it's not to their advantage to do so.

Take Ebola (a well known virus, with very high mortality). It's very hard for Ebola to spread. It tends to make people obviously sick, and also kills quick, both of which make it much much easier to control. I'm guessing you don't spend a lot of time or energy avoiding Ebola.

Contrast to AIDS, which did not make people sick, and so was easier to catch from a seemingly healthy person. From an AIDS perspective weakening the immune system against other diseases was a flaw in the plan. Once it became rampant though there were (and are) behavioral changes to reduce the chance of infection. Those behaviors are now "normal" because, well, AIDS.

The "common cold" / flu etc are all covid, or covid-like viruses that constantly mutate and constantly do the rounds. We develop immunity over time and they mutate into milder (but more infectious) versions. We take steps to avoid these, but meh, if you get it you get it.

Some behaviors from this pandemic will remain (stop letting - or worse requiring - obviously sick people come to work for example) - others will fall away (I don't see the mask thing sticking around forever...) We'll probably work from home more than we did before, but that was already a trend, this has just accelerated it. Even when we get back to normal I don't think I'll be flying to a city for random meetings anymore.
