Enjoyed working on this project and thought I would share!
Fasting is definitely a good tool to utilize and it has its own benefits other than weight loss e.g. acting as a hormetic stressor.

But by far the most useful tool I’ve come across to precisely control body composition is the skill of counting and estimating calories and macros. Once you know your TDEE, it is super easy to control body weight with precision this way.

This should be taught in schools imo. It is surprising how wildly off the layman is when it comes to estimating calories.
> Programmers don't need color accuracy so any 4k will suffice.

Surely it depends on what we’re programming? Color accuracy (and inaccuracy for accessibility testing) is important for most anything we produce graphically that’s user-facing.

> A monitor is a monitor.

Color accuracy isn’t the only reason to invest more in display quality. Viewing angle and refresh rate are important factors as well. Their relative importance varies by use case: of course refresh rate being more important for game development; viewing angle and even color accuracy can be important for developer accessibility (example: I have a lot of sensory sensitivities, and color warp/washout at angles is a constant cognitive burden even if I’m not directly looking at it).

> I don't understand this consumerist mindset.

Indiscriminately buying cheap goods tends to also be a consumerist mindset and behavior. It often leads to more frequent purchases and disposal, producing both greater cost and waste. Which isn’t to say all pricing—in technology or otherwise—reflects value or longevity. But blanket rejecting the possibility isn’t helpful in distinguishing that.

> I don't see how you could make a several thousand dollar 4k monitor if you tried.

Even without addressing specialized use cases, it’s easy: low volume + high cost bill of materials. This used to be the case with IPS panels, and continues to be the case with newer/less pervasive panel details (eg OLED or higher pixel density displays). And again, whether those are requisite for a given programmer will depend on their work product and their own individual needs.

- - -

I won’t go so far as to say that everyone should arrive at the same cost/benefit analysis. But I will say that, in terms of tools to do our jobs, displays are very close to directly analogous to mattresses, chairs and shoes: oftentimes, skimping on cost is more costly than spending more upfront.
In theory, there are lots of fine things we could do with GMOs. In practice, basically the only common use of GMOs is to allow indiscriminate use of pesticides and herbicides. This is purely about profit for chemical companies, without regard for environmental impact. I don't care to eat more pesticides and herbicides, either.

> new computer designs? Am I reading that right? It seems like a large extrapolation to that application.

The first rule of pop-sci coverage is that your fundamental discovery/study needs to have an application. It doesn't matter that the application is utter bullshit, it just needs to be there, and to be flashy, and to get people talking.

So, you look at your buzzword bingo sheet until you can portmanteau some piece of nonsense and you add that to the article.

It's achieved its purpose, because we are now talking about it. The more we talk about it, the more we encourage this sort of click-bait bullshit.
Huh, I don’t recall seeing the bit in the law about religion being involved in the US legal system.

> Why did my 99% white, upper middle class school district have a DARE program? How did that serve to advance the cause of marginalizing minority groups

DARE is a program to increase public positive image of, deference to, and political support for the arbitrary action of police. (And t it's only demonstrated effect is on attitudes toward police; it doesn't have any effect on drug use.)

How that advances the cause of marginalizing minority groups is left as an exercise for the reader.

I agree with your sentiment, but it's a different from saying that 'eating healthy and exercise is a substitute for vaccines'.

At this point, it's looking like 'mostly vaccinated' is the primary measure and beyond that we can live with it.

But there are important caveats in that 1) hospitalisations have been a problem and that if were didn't have vaccinations (which help a lot with serious cases) we'd be in a world of hurt so we need to keep up with the vaxxes (the antivirals are not a solution just yet) and 2) we need to accept there could be another wave that's worse than Omicron or Delta and that at least some measures have to be re-implemented.

> Pitch changes with increasing angle of attack, however, are quite another thing. An airplane approaching an aerodynamic stall cannot, under any circumstances, have a tendency to go further into the stall. This is called “dynamic instability," and the only airplanes that exhibit that characteristic—fighter jets—are also fitted with ejection seats.

I still don't get how this design was ever allowed to happen or continue to happen. Passenger jetliners shouldn't be dynamically unstable.
Yes, that's a valid path, too.

When I was just starting out (circa 1990) a good friend of mine had a pal that was making his living servicing punch card machines.

They were completely unsupported by IBM at the time, this guy had been an IBM tech and saw the opening. He embraced the old tech, knowing there were people still using it and willing to pay for some form of support.

So I don't disagree with that idea, it's definitely workable.

NP, just wanted to make sure that was accurate. We transmitted STS-82 live so I remember that one pretty clearly, but STS-61 really was the one that made all the difference. Unfortunately we didn't have our software ready at that time, that only happened in 95 and then NASA and NetNitco talked to us just in time to have it all ready to go for STS-82.

Thinking about it: that's actually scary how quick the time has passed, it's like yesterday. I don't think I left the office from about an hour before countdown until it was back on the ground.

This article makes a lot of good points, but in these two paragraphs in particular, it gets the math with percentages completely wrong:

> Assuming that 70% of vegans are represented by those who support the cause of animal suffering, we can then, dissociate left and right-wing vegans from this bracket by applying the probability factor of being vegan when identifying as Democrat, say 2, so 66% out of 70% which gives us 46% of left-wing vegans and leaves 24% of right-wing vegans. Finally, we can isolate vegans that also support abortion by applying the relative political ratio of people who support abortion to each group, 80% for Democrats and 35% for Conservatives.

> We get 37% of left-wing vegans in favor of abortion and 8% of right-wing vegans in favor of abortion, adding these numbers together gives us a very approximate estimate that 45% of vegans are motivated by animal suffering while supporting human abortion in most cases.

I enjoy living in the future. It's hilarious to me that my favorite tech - NextStep, Linux, Mac - ate the world. I chuckle when I dream of time-traveling to 1997 - me, to reveal that Apple is the most wealthy company in the world (most days). That huge supercomputers have been built to train multi layer neural networks, just as I tried to explain to humans of 1990 why dot products might be interesting to optimize in hardware.

It does not particularly surprise me that most people use a web browser to do anything on a computer, but it's funny to me that I started front-end JavaScript programming in March 1997.

It's also funny that I managed to avoid getting rich, despite seeing all of this coming.

I have tried to understand microelectronics fabrication tech, but 13 billion transistors on my iPhone CPU is indistinguishable from magic. I could show 1988 me an iPad or tablet-laptop convertible running web apps, and he would be very pleased that the dream design seemed to have been realized.

That's the tech stuff.

I'm delighted by my kids. They do neat stuff. The py are better people than I am, which is about the best I could hope for.

I found out - perhaps the hard way - that living on a very modest budget is far more lucrative and secure than chasing a big payout. That's a choice I made that maybe would not be very satisfying to many HN folks. That's ok.

It's all taken longer, I'm older, and health challenges need improvement. But overall the outcome has been pretty good.
BeeWare and Qt are on different levels. It's like comparing a single guy on a scooter, doing a few deliveries on weekends, with FedEx. If you don't care about mobile, and you can deal with the licensing model of Qt and its wrappers, the choice is fairly obvious. Also, a lot of the knowledge around Qt is not really Python-specific, it's transferable to C++ (or the other bindings they have).

I like the guys behind BeeWare and they've done some very good work to address the awful Python story on mobile, but every time I try BeeWare it lacks a lot of functionality one would expect from production-ready toolkits. I'm sure things will improve with time, but I have a feeling someone with deeper pockets will eventually eat their lunch.

What benefit does Russia get from taking over a bankrupt failed state like Ukraine?

Taking over Ukraine would cost more than it's worth. Better for Russia to let the EU keep pouring its own scarce resources into the bottomless sink that is Ukraine instead.

> I'm sad that we forgot the value of core dumping.

The value of the core dumping has greatly diminished once commercial vendors have started stripping symbol tables from binaries they would ship (IP protection! trade secrets! know-how!), and it has diminished even greater when core dumps started approaching gigabytes in size – the reaction of system administrators was swift and cruel: «ulimit -c 0» at the system level.

>The finding, which emerged from a study of how genetics and diet affect the microbiome, “is really solid proof that this association could have major clinical importance.”

It seems genetics can play a role in some people having a healthy flora. Maybe their bodies can't convert a certain bacteria from food stuff efficiently, thus they are required to supplement.
I recently upgraded vehicles from a 2009 to a current one with all the new safety features. In my research I read lots of complaints about emergency/auto braking activating too much and other features of the car stepping in to assist the driver. Since switching vehicles, on the incredibly rare occasions something has activated, it's always been valid and a quicker reaction than my own.

Your tag line reminds me of all the times I've pondered how bad these complaining drivers must be.

" It applies to every company equally. "

It doesn't though. If laws are not prosecuted consistently, then they are not 'applied' consistently.

There's a lot of populist and political outrage (and jealousy) in the EU that I think has disproportionately singled out FB and it lacks hugely material legitimacy on the data protection front.

If FB magically had all EU citizens data hosted in the EU ... it wouldn't make a shred of a difference. Nobody would notice. It would be largely inconsequential.

For corporate and government data, i.e. Google Docs, I think it starts to make much more of a difference.

And if the EU would sort out their own IP laws (i.e. Ireland) they would be able to tax more efficiently.

'The Problem' is not so much FB or FAANGS, it's that Europe has been absent from the game and has zero winners in important and developing areas. If Google were based in Europe I think attitudes would be different and it would have little to do with 'data sovereignty'.

I support the notion of regionally hosted data, but it's a bit of a distraction.
