You seem to completely lack empathy.
For those of you who think that fasting or low blood sugar does not affect your personality, you probably have a number of other social-interaction issues you need to be working on.

Sure, a good diet should make a meal last 6 hours. You should adopt good habits. But if you're acting like a smug jerk right now because you're blood sugar is low, eat something. I see a lot of commenters here who need to have a quick snack and reevaluate their dietary habits.
I'm working on a solution where the "FOSS collective" aspect can be decentralized and represented as a protocol. I think it simplifies a lot of things.
It depends on your routine. If you skip a meal when you usually have that meal, you might experience some discomfort. You could eat one meal a day and be fine if that's what you're used to. It's the breaking of the routine that causes you trouble.
This web3 craze should be an incredibly interesting topic for interdisciplinary research. Historians, economists, computer scientists, psychologists and so on have been handed a wild field study here.
In some instances you'll be able to walk barefoot, but at a certain cost (attention to terrain that you wouldn't need to pay so much attention with shoes). In other instances you won't be able no matter how much you train: go walk in roads or large stones in the summer, and you'll burn your feet. Walk in the snow, and you'll get frostbite. Walk in a forest full of fallen branches and sticks, and you'll get an injury.

People didn't invent shoes because it was aesthetic, it was a necessity when adapting for certain terrains.

It’s always important to do the math. But you’ve missed the third, and most obvious, calculation.

Probability of X from vaccine+Covid — 2N+M, or whatever.

"One key point is that in neither case is any amplification or "gain" present."

"Antenna gain relative to an isotropic radiator is a thing."

Which is it? Gain clearly does not mean amplification always as I pointed to multiple references and you provided absolutely none.

"There is no such term as electronics gain."

Again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain_(electronics)

In electronics, gain is a measure of the ability of a two-port circuit (often an amplifier) to increase the power or amplitude of a signal from the input to the output port

What game are you playing here, are you really just redefining the english language to win an internet argument?
That's usually the point.

I´ve moved something like 12 times in my life, as a kid, as a young adult, maried man with kids, now divorced one with shared custody. I've lived in studios, appartments, houses, most rented but 2 owned. My conclusion is whatever space you have you might end up using all of it and only because it is available, not because you are using all that shit.

I got back to renting close to a large city center because I wanted to get rid of cars and be able to go anywhere with my bicycle, have the kids walk to school , to their friends place or outside without me having to drive them left and right. Leaving in family do not mean you need so much things/space, hobbies don't have to require space. Also a lot of things can be shared with neighbors.
I've been discussing just this with the folks in reddit /r/thinkpad recently.

There are lots on your side, but I see lots of upvotes for the new-keyboard-haters too.

For me, the 220/420/520 are the last good Thinkpads. I have all 3 and use them all regularly. Anything after that, IMHO the chiclet keyboards are unusable trash.

They've got even worse since the ?30 generation and now are right down there with Dell and other cheapo glued-together skip-ware.

> If you care about security you will have setup your own node package registry with a curated/audited list of dependencies, then you need to point to the registry for the dependencies and maintain the registry.

Exactly. And it's quite easy to do.

> With deno it should be easier to do this, you setup your own cdn, just upload plain js files and point it from your import map

I was waiting for the inevitable just.

- Just set up your own CDN.

- Just upload a plain js file there (where do I get those files from?)

- Just point to dependencies using a feature that, quote "is not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track"

- And then the browser... record scratch who said anything about a browser?
> If Signal-the-app did a WhatsApp and started blocking forwarded messages, or blocking messages that contained a blacklisted domain etc, I think very little would happen and it might take a while for people to even notice.

Why would it be different for, say, Sendmail? I mean, I agree, but isn’t this the heart of why “open source” is not a meaningful differentiator? (Taviso wrote something similar about reproducible builds and “bugdoors” here a while ago: https://blog.cmpxchg8b.com/2020/07/you-dont-need-reproducibl....)

My claim is not at all that it would be noticed immediately. My claim is that distributing source code doesn’t help for exactly the same reason.

> which might explain why you keep mis-characterizing my position. Please RTFA and then opine. The section on threshold signed auditable builds isn't even long or complicated, it's a few paragraphs at most.

It’s never stopped me before. ;)

More seriously: I don’t disagree with the proposal, but it strikes me as less radical than you suggest, for a few reasons:

- It seems to me you can already do this with signed git commits plus—what we talked about before—reproducible builds.

- You still have to incentivize review. For a significant project, yeah, you might get it (and it’s cheaper than the dev time to maintain multiple overlapping projects, I guess). But are you going to get it for every, I dunno, NPM package to make text a pretty color which turns out to be critical infrastructure? Nah.

- As Tavis points out in the above link, source code is not at all a panacea.

So, yes, if people want to do multiple-auditor-signed updates, I’m all for it. App stores should make it easier than they do today. Agreed?

> CT…

I guess I no longer understand what we’re disagreeing about. To be clear, I’m all in favor of enabling multiple auditors to sign binaries, I guess. I don’t think it solves major problems in most cases, nor do I think source code access is a panacea for supply chain attacks. But if people want to do it, sure, I guess?

He may be slightly more paranoid than what is healthy (which may be inherent in the security domain he is an expert in), but I would not call him crazy.

Also, it is not as black and white, copperhead os did try to backstab him by selling his own work. Also, a secure OS is very much the same as cryto — you don’t roll your own. And while the enthusiasm is welcome in this space, it is simply a ridiculously hard domain which should not be done by novices.
Traffic correlation attacks are very difficult to mitigate. Even Tor is not immune to this (see research such as [1], and the Tor project's own statements that the design is not resistant to analysis by a global network observer). Also Briar may be unsuitable for some use cases where you want to remain anonymous to people you communicate with[2].

Some research has been done into communication networks that are resistant to traffic analysis, such as Vuvuzela[3]. Unfortunately most such solutions requires permanent connectivity and bandwidth utilization, which makes them impractical for battery-powered mobile devices.

I'm firmly of the belief that no communication tool is suitable for all use-cases, but that we need to build open interoperable ecosystems that fulfil a range of needs, and help educate people about them.

The point of a democratic government is being ruled by demos, the people. You are describing a government run by benevolent elites. In such case of course the government may lie and deceive people, and even pretend that it is democratic, but it won’t be a democratic government.

The naive commitment to truth is the most fundamental requirement for the most basic freedom, the freedom to reason. To lie, to deceive someone means to take away that freedom.
I guess the engagement metrics are still up for stories like these, otherwise I can't imagine any reason other than state sponsored propaganda that can explain why news outlets are still whipping this dead horse.

IMO Domestic extremism will remain a likely threat but will be a drop in the bucket compared to the extreme poverty and natural disasters on deck for the coming years.

It won't be right or left ideologies that drive domestic terror but a sense of hopelessness and irrelevance of the previous well off youth that soon will find themselves destitute.

So many young people have already given up and made the decision to not return to work, the Fed is signaling interest rate rises and food production has been on the decline for several years. I believe there are only two outcomes that can result from such a situation... Either a global depression or war...or both.

When millions of young people decide not to work for whatever reason, be it justified or not, historically their value in society is diminished and has resulted in many being pressed into war through malnourishment or mandate.
Please, see some references in another reply.

In facts you can lower your temperature artificially. Your body implements some mechanics to do that. For example late in the afternoon, your temperature reaches its peak and starts to drop again. That drop in temperature of one to three degrees is vitally essential for falling asleep quickly and you actually can accelerate that drop! Although it’s somewhat counterintuitive, hot baths or showers or a sauna one or two hours before your bedtime will help to decrease your temperature. If you get into a sufficiently high temperature of water for about 15-20 minutes and then get out of it, your body will employ particular mechanisms for cooling itself and your body’s temperature will drop more quickly. That will allow you to fall asleep more easily.

As for the cold shower. When the cold water hits your body, it constricts faster circulation of your blood in your deeper tissues and helps to maintain ideal body temperature. Also, you could try to control your morning temp minimum by establishing sleep consistency and changing your average wake up so that your temp minimum falls into the time you want it to fall.

> I run my own XMPP server (Snikket) for my family

Can we agree that >90% of non-technical XMPP users likely don't run their own XMPP server? Can we agree that most non-technical XMPP users use a public XMPP server on the internet, where they might not know the individual or organization running the server? Where it remains unclear whether the XMPP server is set up and operated in a "secure" and "private" way? Where some XMPP server admins even fail to provide a privacy policy or try to hide their identity? Is this unique to XMPP? No, we never said this. Is this then a reason to ignore these issues? Also no. We should openly discuss pros and cons instead of highlighting isolated properties of a protocol that might be better in some situations than the same properties of a competitor.
That's true. It's important to remember that you need also to "rewire" your brain It's often accustomed to many years of your life without meds. And many of this years were probably hard, full of anxiety and depression. It will take time to change how you think and you subconscious.
Not OP but everything that is not written is scary.

Suddenly you have someone telling you what you told them and starts wondering: did I really promise that?

(Written doesn't prevent people from trying that trick, as one particulariy brilliant but not very pleasant guy tried to tell me: "yes, <my name> that is what you wrote [in the mail] but not what you meant." However, in these cases I have a written record and I am confindent with myselves and that nasty person can bugger off.)

Not saying one should never talk to people on the phone but when one are stressed out and stretched out thin it is not high on my wishlist.
That's strange. Acetylsalicylic acid is on the WHO's list of essential medicines and they show it as being available in Denmark.

I am pretty good at restricting my intake.

I very rarely eat before noon, and I have been like this my whole life. Also, I am a small eater in general - so I very often, when eating out at a restaurant ask for a to-go container at the same time as I order my food. THen I immediately put half or more in the container before I eat it.

And I am very active, for example, I rode nearly 1,000 miles on my 29" mtn. bike in the month of August alone (26 miles a day for almost the entire month)

and I eat very healthy, and well (My GF works at the french laundry and we are big foodies...)

BUT - we both do crave sugar a lot...

I want to do a water fast but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

The real culprit is carbs and for my GF, gluten - she has ciliac and gluten is extremely hard to avoid in the 'modern' food world.
I have done freelancing for many years but I prefer FT job over it. The reason is piece of mind. You don't have to worry about your financials. Running a business or SAAS business is also better
I've been working on a solution along the lines described in the article: OpenFare.

With OpenFare, payment plans are defined in code. Which means that the dependency tree can be priced by direct inspection. I've got a working example for NPM dependencies.
That's an old finding. professor Jordan Peterson was talking about it for years. I can't remember the name of the researcher he was referring to, but he found that in rats.
Depends on the type of shoes too... slip-ons are much less popular in North America, probably a self-reinforcing thing there.
> It can even be a virtual/landline/temporary phone number without any SIM cards or cell phones involved.

Then contact discovery would not work, which is the main advantage of collecting the phone number in the first place. How many of your contacts who use Signal used their real phone number?

> XMPP servers are a gold mine when it comes to metadata.

Then even more so for Signal, since metadata for all users can be collected by a single entity. This is not possible in a federated network like XMPP.
> I actually have an alternative take on this: if society is not able to do something as simple as consistently use a mask, there's no hope to do something that requires concrete sacrifice as mitigating global warming.

Let me frame this positively: Covid as a whole did increase the chances that humanity will actually do something as against global warming, and actually survive the next 200 years or so.
They should have some kind of "can't remove from headline" disclaimers for papers like this to keep them from fueling idiocy.

The WHO list aspirin as an essential medicine for pain management.
>They have zero agency to go against it.

Regardless of how you or I feel about the usefulness of masks this is a side benefit to many parents and schools. Schools want kids that just bend over and take whatever flavor of capricious BS they're producing on a given week. Few parents want kids with agency and critical thinking skills because you can't just lie to them to get them to do what you want. Everyone says they want critical thinking but look at their actions.
I might be a bit naive, but IMO if a country organizes an international sports event it should be held responsible to accept all qualified athletes. And if there is an official invitation, there should be no questions asked at the border.

Either that, or don't organize event at all if you have some concerns. Leaving to individual athletes to navigate country's ever changing visa rules is not fair or realistic. Even lawyers on Australian law subredit couldn't tell for sure how judge will rule in Djokovic's case and which laws and statutes should be taken into account and which have precedence.

This is not only about Djokovic. It's also about tennis players who received Sputnik vaccine and couldn't go to Australia Open. Yet we have numbers from few non-Russia countries which tell us it's in the similarly effective as other vaccines.

Also, I'm not talking about tennis and Australia only, too many times athletes were stopped from competing because of politics and it never seems fair.
> Mental damage vs brain damage, take your pick. Personally I pick the one that doesn't kill their grandparents, seeing as childhood trauma also causes cognitive impairment.

I think this is overly simplistic, and doesn't consider the relative rates of both.

Besides - The goal of managing Covid shouldn't be to reduce total cognitive impairment, it should be to maximise the total quality of life for everyone. For me, forcing kids to wear a mask throughout school is a significant quality of life reduction, as well as loss of high-quality education which will no doubt continue to drive inequality in the years ahead.

There is no 'right' and 'wrong' approach here.
> URLs to a registry keep published versions if the registry keeps published versions.

Yes. Have you've ever heard of running your own registry? It' quite easy to do and most companies do it prcisely because they want to a) keep published versions and b) prevent things like colors/fake.js

Literally no one who promotes Deno has yet shown how to do the same with Deno beyond "yeah, you check in all your node_modules dependencies into Git".
Even if they did they're not 'breaking your app in minutes', as if all live apps which use that package are suddenly going to poll npm for deleted packages. That's absurd.
Disclaimer: Former public health researcher; strongly pro-vaccine.

Your point is true. However, people may find the phrasing slightly aggressive.

The people posting symptom reports here mostly seem to be level-headed and understanding of the public health benefit they took a risk to bring about.

There needs to be an accepting forum for people to report negative outcomes. Such statements provide necessary information on the risks associated with the vaccine, and how to mitigate these risks. They are pro-vaccine.
Not very surprised.

An Indian expat living in NL, with parents living back home in India. My (retired, old) parents are afraid to get tested for COVID because they hear way too many incidents from their neighbourhood about “hospitals faking COVID test results just so that they can admit them for 4 days, administer expensive drugs, charge them some hefty bill, and send home”. As stupid as it sounds, I could not force my parents to go and wait in the line to get COVID test, after he says “I believe I don’t have COVID now. But if I go to the testing center that is so badly managed and understaffed where only people with obvious high level of COVID are brought to get official result, I will get COVID there!”.

Say what you will, but if the basic trust in doctors and healthcare is lost, how would people get tested, and how can you trust any statistics from there?!

I’m ashamed, stupefied and angry at the same time.
Let's hope somehow all kind of numbers were recorded anyway (instead of only one kind reported in mass media) and we can get a better picture of what happened in coming years and start comparing impacts, costs, benefits, disadvantages of different covid policies.

> If all you want to do is run commands with some logic, PowerShell is simply dreadful and outright developer-hostile. I doubt there is a single person on earth who uses PowerShell as a command shell like Bash is used.

Expand your views. Everyone aren't you, didn't learn the same things as you and understand different things than you.

I learned some C++ as my first language, therefore I got stuck in an object oriented mindset, this translates really well to PowerShell and really poorly to bash. The thing where everything is text doesn't make sense, text isn't stable and everyone will write their own partially broken parsing implementation. In PowerShell they try to make everything an object, with type checking and other goodies, solid autocomplete for scripts being one.

In PowerShell I can deserialise JSON and perform CRUD operations on the data easily.

I'd say powershell is outright developer friendly as it brings a production grade language to the scripting table.

If powershell could parse bash completion files and integrate sudo better I'd use it as a command shell on all platforms, which right now are limited to MacOS and Linux.
