While the right certainly had their fear based issues before the pandemic, it’s a bit of a stretch to say the left didn’t.

Trump was going to become a dictator. We had 12 years to go living on earth 4 years ago. Apparently almost everyone is a white supremacist… I could go on.
Why didn’t Obama revoke the patriot act if he was so on the side of non fear? Or allow more whistleblowing.
Possibly your email client clicked that for you. This is actually a legitimate concern because some exploits work that way. Doesn't change that its a bug you got fingered for that tho.
The amount of downvotes you got for this comment is IMO a part of the issue and undeserved. Gender and sex aren't taboo topics, and pointing out that someone might or might not use their attractiveness to their advantage is part of the discussion and totally reasonable to do, without having to start with "what is sexist", "what is male oppression", "what is sexual discrimination against woman" etc. We're all driven by instinct, and sex is part of that. If someone is presented attractive, they will (usually) get more views, which is also why attractive people are used as models

I've been mostly eating potatoes in January. I've eaten other stuff as well and but probably 90% of calories have come from potatoes, early on it was entirely potatoes. I also took a multivitamin everyday. This seems to work fine, just microwave a potato for each meal. The potato is very satiating so there's no issue with over eating.

There's not much to clean up as it's just a potato, I have a plate in the microwave that I use to heat it then put it on a second plate to eat. I just eat it with my hands.

I've lost over 3kg (probably more like 6-7 I just didn't weigh my self before). I wasn't super fat or anything before hand. Perhaps it's too hard to get enough calories from only potatoes?

I haven't noticed any loss of muscle even though I've eaten almost no protein. It's made me very sceptical about nutrition as whole as I thought I would become sick or at least lose muscle mass (I was going to stop after a week if I lost muscle or became sick).

I will eat many more potatoes than I used to, even after January ends.
Yeah, I do most of my web work on $2k-8k workstations but then I test on a pretty broad range of devices, including phones, laptops (currently using one from 2013 to type this msg), "obsolete" OSes and even text-mode browsers and of course screen readers. I believe in the broad universal accessibility of the web as was originally promised and try to ensure that same degree of accessibility whenever possible. It's hard to gauge how common that mentality is, but I hope it isn't too rare!
Joe Rogan has transformed slowly but surely from a liberal who smoked weed to a somebody who appeals to conservative fervor. For example, he will rail against the vaccine because “big pharma.” Then he “throws the kitchen sink” at COVID when he gets it, including flaunting the ridiculous ivermectin BS that us chimps will be laughing at ourselves over in 50 years, ironically a product of big pharma. So what is it, does he support or not support big pharma when he leverages ivermectin and monoclonal antibody treatment.

Now, you list off a few names like Elon Musk, Tim Ferris, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Sam Harris, all of whom have companies to market, images to sell, podcasts to peddle, speaking tours and appearance fees to offer, and ideologies to impart. Yes, they’re all selling something to you, and Rogan fans delude themselves if they think they’re simply consuming pure intellectual discourse. This isn’t Dialectic, and nobody is Plato here.

Do you think it’s any coincidence that after Jordan Peterson - a guy who sells himself as a clinically-minded intellectual and liberty defender with liberal aesthetics - went on Rogan the other day, conveniently after stepping away from his teaching post at the U of Toronto. He’s got a speaking tour lined up. Do you think it’s a coincidence that Jordan Peterson, after resigning immediately released an article in the National Post about how “appalling” diversity, inclusion and equity is?

I’ve got a bridge to sell all the Rogan fans. It was fun to listen to him back in 2016 when he smoked weed and talked to writers and doctors. But it’s no longer 2016. And this isn’t an approval to shut him down or even shut him up. It’s simply criticism of misbehavior.

Cooking and eating with my family are two major reasons I will never go back to the office if I can help it. You call it a waste of human capital, I call it the parts of my day that I have the most meaningful interactions with other people.

The problems to solve in food today are systemic (eg: the carbon impacts of food production at scale, which are enormous) and at the microeconomic scale (shopping for one person is near impossible).

Apparently they ran PCBoard [1] for their BBS software. I know a fair amount about BBS software, and had no idea PCBoard could support this many nodes.

Typically high node count boards of this time ran MajorBBS [2] instead, since it did its own multi-tasking and allowed you to have a crazy number of nodes / modems on a single PC! However, that also meant it couldn't run typical DOS door games, instead opting for its own plugin/game SDK.

That is true, but you pay a percentage fee on all of your assets (which is growing) to be able to TLH assets you've recently added (fairly static amount over time).

For a lot of reasons there is no better way. The subject is of particular interest to me as I am a foodie, passionate about nutrition (got my BF to 6% as an experiment), and friend with restaurant owners.

- Cost: a good cook is as expensive as good programmer. A kitchen is as complex as an IT production environment and it requires comparable level of skills to produce quality. You have to manage resources, incidents, bottlenecks, high availability and so on.

- Time: there's no rushing quality. Shopping for good ingredients at the early morning market takes at least 1 hour. You have to inspect what is on offer with care each day and it should be done by the "team lead" cook. And obviously that is just the start of the process.

- Mass production equals loss of quality. You don't have tons of fresh naturally grown ingredients available. You don't have hundreds of qualified personnel available for hire locally, you can't have accountants drive quality food.

- Nutrients: this might come as a shock for a lot of people but we really don't understand nutrition all that well. We basically know not to eat too much of anything in particular but that's it. We're at least 100 years from being able to reduce food to something like Soylent that would be just as good as eating varied unprocessed food.

I could go on and on and on... At the end of the day you really have the choices you mentioned: invest time or money for eating and if you want good food you have to invest a lot of time and/or money.
There is a reason to read Wikipedia via https: ISP can otherwise inject ads or even change the page. This has actually happened.
I’ll add another method I’m just trying out, attempting to balance speed without meal prep - super simple meals and grocery runs a few times a week. Here’s some I do:

2 or 3 eggs. Toast. 1 pan. 5 or 10 mins max.

Bowl oatmeal, dried cranberries, walnuts. 3 mins microwave.

1 steak, bag of spinach, box of mushrooms. 1 pan, 10 mins max (sauté the spinach/shrooms while steak is resting).

1 rotisserie chicken pre-cooked in bag, 1 bag frozen fried rice, 1 bag frozen veggie mix, 1 pan, 10 mins to warm the rice then the veggies.

Salt. Pepper. In fridge, Hot sauce. BBQ sauce.

I order a chipotle burrito bowl every day for lunch.

Order the ingredients for pickup to save $, or just go when you’re bored or need a break from the computer.

I’m finding that this is a good balance between the blandness of 4 day old meal prep, constant daily cooking for more elaborate meals, huge spending for hellofresh or Uber eats, etc.
Yeah, even I was under this impression. OP should cite a source if they know otherwise as from their comment it seems like Amazon is the only one abusing their position like this.

Ok, thats fine if she wants to do that type of content (if you don't like the words "sexual content" then make up a new word, because that's not the point).

But sometimes advertisers do not want to advertise on that type of content, and since it is their money, thats alright.

Like sure, go ahead. Make that type of content. But don't be surprised when advertisers don't want to buy ads on it.
Academic conferences are usually "comfortable" environments with plenty of air conditioning. It might undermine the prestige a bit if we did that.

This is one of those "made up problems" as it only exists because you insist in doing magic, i.e. mapping /foo to either /foo/index.html or /foo.html.

I am guilty myself, because we need to do things that match expectation of users, but this problem simply disappears if you stop doing magic.

So, the real question is, what "magic" do you prefer?

My implementation was, when given a trailing slash, check if the recource is a directory (as this is what the trailing slash signifies) and use the convention of loading the index.html file at that directory if it is. If it's not a directory, then it's a 404.

If there's no trailing slash, try to load the file with the equivalent extension to the Accept content-type header. So, if the client wants JSON, you try /foo.json for the path /foo. If client requests HTML, try /foo.html.

It is not productive to see antivaxxers as rational actors. They are concerned about vaccine breakthrough cases but have no issue ingesting ivermectin, vitamin D or hydroxyquinone?

Even if there was something wrong about mRNA vaccines would it not have been better to campaign for Covaxin or Sputnik to be allowed by the FDA?

Liver: I am totally with you! It's something I'd like to be able to eat because it has nutrition, but... yeah it's still on the list of horrors. Many things are.

Veggies: there are still some that give me the horrors, but it's really all in the cooking (and the seasoning). Which is not to say I am a good cook.

I hope over time you find a bit more enjoyment from food but I do fully understand where you are, and very often I am reminded that I could end up back there.

(When I was a kid, early '80s, my mother, exasperated, took me to the doctor and said, he only eats (lists three things). The enlightened doctor said to my mother, in front of me, and I quote: "That sounds lovely. Invite me round for Sunday lunch". And then to my mother when I was not in the room, that worrying about my intake and pushing me to eat things would only make it worse for me.)

How about instead of “we must allow complete free speech, anything else is bad” we go for “sometimes it’s practical to censor”. The world isn’t so black and white.
I understand your concern. Two things to note though:

1. Who are you to immediately assume that they are lying, as if that's the best explanation? Not every single person who has autism has the ability to completely repress everything about it. To assume otherwise is nothing short of ableism - and I'm not using that word lightly. I absolutely do get the concern though - words DO need meaning.

2. You say "Today people are fetishizing this neurodivergent psychosis" as if this is a recent trend. It's not. At all. Tuberculosis was a disease that was romanticized in the early 19th century, and the obsession with thin & pale bodies in culture is theorized to have originated from this. I'm not gonna claim to be an expert to this however, so if someone reading this knows more about this subject than I do then please chime in.
My feeling is that rewriting is used as blunt weapon when the developer lacks the inclination or skill to learn what was written before. I’m been guilty of this.
>Are those more likely to be a) a side effect/risk of the vaccine, or b) a known result of the disease

I have a more pressing question for you:

Do you expect the medical establishment to accurately and honestly attribute the increase in myocarditis and pericarditis as side effects of the vaccine, or purely a result of the disease? I sure as shit don't. I expect the medical establishment to do and say whatever it takes to protect their profits.
If creating furniture was physically as easy as writing software, I think many people would create their own furniture, just to create a chair that fits them exactly.

Similarly in software there is not "one size that perfectly fits everybody". Therefore there is much need for customization.

When you write software you are in effect not only creating the program. You are creating a system that consists of the computer, its program, and its user. The way the task is divided between what the human does and what the computer does can be done in very many ways. In some systems that results in a system where users need to do more but thus also have more options for controlling the system. Therefore there are so many different ways any "applications" can be written.

No program is an island. It is something that must interact with its users. It is always designed to be a part of a bigger system consisting of itself and its users.

And you don't need to. Unfortunately people are people - titillation and everything else is in the eye of the beholder - and they will interpret what they see in a way that fits in with their perspective.

Very fair point. My perspective was, “protect what has entrusted itself to you - the passengers”.

My wife made the point, “I just don’t want to play”, which made me kinda agree. Maybe we shouldn’t be designing these products before we can figure out how to eliminate those situations through other means - like boring tunnels for cars to maneuver in, away from peds.

I agree with regards to the trailing slash, but in my opinion URLs should correlate with filesystems, since they share many properties.
Again yield; not sure how many people understand how big yield would be even Apple. At some yield you can’t support the demand. None of what was written above makes a lot of sense unless Apples just burning fab cycles. They might be but I kind of doubt it since it would seriously impact device cost and would take up slots in the fab leading to longer lead times. Not even Apple can dictate all their chips to be P1 at TSMC. In actuality it’s much more likely that the difference is in metal connectivity for cores. For low core designs it’s likely the lower number of cores are yield fallout and they use an e-fuse to disable them. The metal difference would be faster and allow them to respond faster to changes in demand even while wafers are in the line. The cost of all these masks and skus would be a factor even for Apple because we aren’t talking about some old technology node here. They are on the bleeding edge and I’m sure they have capacity constraints just like everyone else.
You could still live without those food rituals if you replace them with other means of human interactions. Instead of sharing a meal, you could also go on a hike with friends. Is there something essential to a meal that cannot be replaced?

Though in principal I agree with you. Food is a pivotal point in life. Which makes me wonder: How much is our life determined by the rituals that surround food?
Okay that comment is going to be awkward for you to digest in a moment.

I think you should know that one of the main polio vaccines doesn’t actually prevent you from getting polio, you still get it and can spread it it just doesn’t paralyze you.

And that’s the Salk vaccine, the other vaccine is literally giving people a weakened stain of polio. And it actually causes some paralysis in about 3 in every million so that vaccine isn’t perfect.
Why would that be disturbing?
Not necessarily, but probably true. Same with all the best criminals, the best live out their lives and none are the wiser as to their actions besides those in the know.

This all assumes that getting caught is a bad thing. For some hackers it leads to respect and eventually government / private jobs. This is obviously not true for non-technical criminals.

Specifically, I think he said that if a 20-year-old healthy person were to ask him if they should get the vaccine, Rogan would say “no”. He then applied the anecdote about his two kids and their experiences to it, which is obviously not very sound justification for the position. To a certain extent it’s understandable that he’d have that position given anecdotal experience, but it wasn’t the right thing to say.

Some of the recent data on the risk factors for myocarditis in young people (particularly males) is, however, at the very least, interesting. I’m not a doctor, biologist or immunologist though, so I don’t have any reason to suggest anything regarding vaccine use in young adults either way.
