We once, out of pure interest calculated based on nutritional value, the cost of eating on different diets. We took the average discount market shopping cart, a conscious version, the same for a regular (so more pricy) supermarket and did a comparison with ecological as well as regional food sourcing.

Based on nutritional value (taking into account to fulfill the base needs as well as potentially overshooting on salt, fat, sugar and other things like Vitamin A just to name an example) we found that industrial food is always the more expensive solution.

Yes you can feed people on a very cheap industrial diet but they will miss essential nutrients as well as overshoot on salt, sugar, and others to detrimental health effects.

If you want a balanced diet mostly locally and seasonally produce (with added stuff like olive oil and such) cooked by yourself was way more cost efficient per nutritional value.

The problem is, that it takes time to learn this, especially to learn this from experience. Also time to relearn how food really tastes without added aroma and stuff. Time to learn how to cook efficiently and with variation. And so on. We don't learn this anymore. Not from our parents, nor otherwise. But the advertising tells us how easy it is to just open a fully ready meal, pop it in the microwave and be done in 3 minutes.

Instead of enjoying the quality of preparing food together as a family/couple. Spending time, experiencing the smell of fresh cut food, herbs and so on. We nowadays equivalent cooking to a chore.
Question is - is it anyone's business what a company pays its CEO beyond those who own it?
If the OS has bugs that will make it crash, what makes you think those bugs aren’t going to affect fsync()?
While switching from Hardware Raid1 to ZFS recently, I had 1) sata cables failing on me and 2) a 8088-8087 PCI-Bracket corrupting half of the SATA connections through it. I would have never detected this without ZFS (scrub). All was fine for weeks. I did `fio` speedtests, `smart --long`, `dmesg` monitoring. Nothing. Until I ran the first scrub and 22 CRC read errors appeared in the 6x8TB RaidZ2. Much worse after switching drives and cables around. I spend like $400 for different cable-replacements, but finally identified the failing ones and all is good since then.

Now, I am more observant. Scrub once a month. Monitoring of SSD TBW, UDMA-CRC, Temperature, Watt, Fan-Speed in InfluxDB 2.0 with alerts set. Besides, ZFS mails all the important status info.

ZFS is really good for peace of mind, resilience and predictability, not necessarily for speed (but not exclusively, either), or your wallet.
The thing is the human body is amazing at knowing how much food it needs and will persuade you over the long haul to eat enough food to balance out the extra caloric usage whether you like it or not. His point is that eating healthy is important and watching it is more important than exercise (by far)
I find that I need time to think and time do code.

When I’m coding I’m obviously sitting at my desk. At some point I get tired of that or hit a wall, then stop, and have to think about that to do next.

Instead of sitting at my desk thinking I’ll go for a walk, go outside and work on a project around the house, go for a swim, hike somewhere. During that time I’m mulling in the problem in my head coming up with solutions.

Once I finish with that activity, I’ll set back down and try a few if the ideas I came up with while doing those activities.

According to my Apple Watch, I get between 25-55 min of activity on a given day.
GraphicsMagick used to have an epic critique of ImageMagick. It’s long gone though, except maybe via archive.org
This is all very depressing. I'm one of those people with a limited menu (possibly an eating disorder) of things I will eat. I don't like complex dishes (anything eastern), seafood, vegetables, and fruits only in smoothies. I definitely ingest too much sugar and drink diet Coke.

For myself, I think exercising somehow makes me eat better. It's just a naturally occurring thing that if I start Couch to 5k, after a couple of weeks I stop eating greasy food, chips, pizza, and I eat salads and all around healthier and smaller portions.

So I guess when I lost weight in the past, it was because of the effects of exercising. Not the exercise itself.

Wish I could solve the eating problems, but I'm 58. I get severe anxiety if anyone tries to get me to eat things I don't like. I've skipped dinner parties and other events if I think the food won't be what I like.
Excellent! Do you have a link to a write-up on how to set it up?
Not only this, you have to have the ability to throttle while also being able to land if an engine fails, because Starship is going to carry people.
Yeah, that's the way I've felt when I've gone for a hike. The food tastes better and I will happily eat an amount of food that I later regret.
There are open source apps such as xdrip that can alert on a trend change, and androidaps that turns off insulin delivery way before you get to a hypo.

The official one from Dexcom is not very good.
Why not just get a “pipe” operator added to the language instead? Many functional programming languages already have one.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-refe...

No need to alter the type system of the language, while it’s clearly a syntactical improvement you’re looking for.
We already had nappies, wipes and bags hidden everywhere as emergency supplies. We just added the hypo packs of juice and shelf stable baby treats to them :)
"it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to achieve mastery of complex skills" - Malcolm Gladwell

That's 5 years of full time. I estimate that it often takes 6-12 months for a new hire just to even become positive in terms of net impact to the team, let alone mastery. This will vary depending on complexity. In other words, when does that extra set of hands contribute more than it costs in terms of extra communication, training, mistakes, etc.

Be honest, ask for help when appropriate, be a good listener, take notes, learn. Be the one ready to take on any job. God gave you two ears and one mouth, so listen twice as much as you speak.

In a year or so, you'll be the journeyman helping the next crop of newbies.

Philips made bank on incorporating NSA backdoored algo - NSA shell company bought out whole inventory of the "good" version of the product all at once.

"The remaining stock of 12,000 'old' PX-1000 units was bought by Philips, along with 20,000 firmware PROMs that had already been manufactured. Philips later sold them on to the NSA 1 along with 50 PXP-40 printers, for a total of NLG 16.6 million (more than EUR 7.5 million) [9]. Officially, the equipment was sold a company by the name of Reynolds which is believed to be an NSA front"

Comes down to about 600 Euro per device, and considering they were selling them at 1K Euro retail its a good price to get rid of whole batch all at once.

Nelson Mandela team was smart to use pre backdoor device.
Shareholder vote surely is "those who own it".
I just googled a week-long vacation in Paris in the first half of June: a non-stop business class round trip from LAX is $2,100 per person, and the most expensive hotel I found in the center of Paris is $1,500/night. So for me and my partner this vacation would cost ~$5k for plane tickets + ~$11k hotel + say a grand per day on shopping and dining. The total is $23k. That would be less than one month salary after taxes. Definitely not something I'd fret over.
This is what I exactly need for my startup. We have been struggling with the plaid updates (https://www.watchr.org if anyone is curious).
Yes, it's the shareholders business for they own the company.
Which is funny since it's an accurate description of his comment section, although I'm sure he knows that.
I hope to do so in the future, for now the implementation is extremely hacky so I doubt it can get accepted into curl.
> If you love ICE, you won't like the future.

I’m an ICE fan but I think the opposite. Let every soccer mom and commuter use electric cars, even self driving cars if we have the technology. Electric is perfect for them.

For those of us who like combustion engines, we’ll be happy that the remaining supply of fossil fuels is kept around for enthusiasts and collectors, and not wasted. With expiring patents and less competition from the big automakers we might even get to see increasingly interesting technologies. Heck maybe in 2040 we’ll be able to 3D print replacement engine parts at home. The future could unlock all sorts of possibilities.
I know of one entity whose business it is; the government. They could heavily tax him (or find new ways to do it), or even legislate top allowed compensations.

They don't do that now, but it's perfectly within their rights to do so if politics takes a hard left.
Compared to oldspace they definitely do; Falcon 1 only flew a handful of times, and Falcon 9 has been continually upgraded. Musk has mentioned even the old F9 Block 5s (which are the newest block) are painful to refurbish versus the newer ones.

Really? In 5 years ROCKETS will be as safe as airplanes? And as cheap? And possible to fly over cities etc (talking about Shotwells promises here)? You really think this?
Slack encourages a fast but irregular communication habit. For example, if you could document something that you discussed with someone for half an hour, maybe many people would benefit from it.
What percentage of consumers purchase new cars on a < 5 year basis? People who take out leases do, so there could be an uptick of these folks getting into EVs, but the majority of existing car owners aren't likely to hop over just to get on the EV train, I don't think, and the second hand car market is / will continue to be massive. I can't see a significant decline in gas vehicles for a decade or better, probably likely two before a significant portion of gas vehicles are off the road.
Let's extend this further and apply it to the president of the US. Would you agree that the president should be paid dozens of million or even a billion USD each year because they kept the trillion USD economy going?

The US president has a lot more responsibility than a CEO, including the prevention of eradication of life on Earth.
It's doable depending on your body size. I'm 180cm and 95 to 99 Kg depending on the day.

When I do weight loss, I can plot it daily and it's going down on average but there are large swings on most days.
I did and it was significantly affecting my quality of life. I realized that if I stopped coding or thinking about work around 5 hours before bed time it would stop, it is a little hard but it is so worth it.
One of the early disappointments I had with software engineering was that I thought that I would be mostly working to formulate elegant solutions and implement them.

Didn't expect software development to need so much people management.
I think a good way is to take any chance to move around.

Ido Portal, for all his eccentric weirdness, knows things:

> The body will become better at whatever you do, or don’t do. If you don’t move, your body will make you better at not moving. If you move, your body will allow more movement.

I’m personally thinking in terms of micro-habits that eventually form a lifestyle, and it’s all about total lifetime reps, if you will.

For example, I have a height adjustable desk, and have replaced the chair with a pilates ball. I still stand, or sit on my knees, more than sitting down on it.

I believe there’s a problem with some of the ergonomic setups we use - if you keep moving, and shift around you shouldn’t need it. If you do, you’re already “losing it” and should probably be changing things up more frequently during the days. Now this is easy to say, and for some people, probably not true.

I’m basically continuously fighting the path of least resistance. I’m in war with the comfy a* brain!

The counter argument is that Tim Cook is not 1447x more responsible for apple’s success than the average apple employee, because there are no doubt many people within apple who contributed greatly to that success. It is also not a given nobody could take over the CEO job, because people were predicting the downfall of apple when Cook took over from Jobs, and he proved them wrong.
HN is actually quite a lot less toxic than it was a few years ago. I'm not sure why, but I think the extremely cynical/100% rude communication style people just left for some reason.

Even Mr. management-by-perkele Linus has lightened up these days.

Don't know what they're all doing now, I would've said crypto but whenever I meet those people they're unreasonably positive.
That is really cheap, definitely pandemic pricing. You usually can’t get biz class seats for just $2k round trip.
MDADM RAID1 does not seem to have the ability to recover from silent data corruption. In the standard two-disk RAID1, it's actually impossible to recover, since it doesn't know what copy is the uncorrupted one. With three disk RAID1 it would theoretically be possible to use a majority vote, but I don't believe MDADM has such code.

Btrfs raid1, on the other hand, uses the checksums of the data stored in its metadata trees to validate which copy of the data is correct and repair the corrupted copy. 3-disk makes this even more robust, as you get an exponential growth of data-metadata pairs to pull from. If any one pair matches, that data can be assumed to be correct.
I just plugged a 300 pound person in to a calculator for a “moderate” walking speed, and that’d burn nearly 500 calories in an hour.
It won't. They haven't been able to get costs down in 10 years now, actually they have gone up.

And reusability has its own problems, like lowering the amount of payload by 25% (you need to save fuel for re-entry).

You can maybe get 10-20% savings if you ever get it working (see previous failed attempts...).

NOT Musk promised 100x price reduction for launches, that will never happen.
from the perspective of many in the middle class it wasn't the worst economic crisis in a decade, it was the biggest windfall of a life time. which exactly aligns with the fact that people were reducing debt.

Who exactly was this period such a crisis for? The crisis is coming now for the people who need to buy inflated goods as the stimulus is wearing off.

I feel like this is already known?

I watched some anime Netflix years ago where the main character played a board game. Eating candy to account for the energy expenditure of the mentally taxing game was in the script.

I read an article about Magnus Carlsen exercising and eating a strict diet so he could cope with the energy expenditure of high level chess for long periods.

It's weird to see it now framed as like a revolution that making this girl do rapid math problems increased her calorie expenditure.
It's not true though. If you exercise enough you will be in a calorie deficit regardless of what you eat. I knew rowers that couldn't keep weight on during the season no matter what they ate, and they ate a lot. The exercise is what is causing the calorie deficit, not watching what they ate.
"In Skip the = operator introduces a new variable, but unlike other languages the = operator alone can not modify an existing variable."

Using != to assign a value feels really strange to me. I know some languages use := but in those languages typically it's because = is an equality operator. I'm sure there are some exceptions but != just so universally means "not equal" to me.
Who said anything about yelling...
I found the unquestioned valuing of weight-loss throughout the article tiresome. It also seemed to be entirely besides the point; not once did it mention any research Pontzer had done on the topic. My frustration with the article was only compounded by the repeated use of the term du jour, "inflammation". How he confidently states that exercise can reduce this nebulous phenomenon, basically without any evidence, is incredibly dangerous.

If it's going into restricted accounts like 401ks and HSAs you could be putting away a lot and still very literally be pay check to paycheck for your monthly expenses.
AFAIK Ketones go high when glucose is low <b>in cells</b>, not in blood. DKA is literally so many ketones in the blood that it becomes acidic, this happens in conjunction with high BGL. Sams breath when he was in DKA was literally sweet smelling as his body was trying to get rid of the excess glucose. There is plenty of glucose, just none of it is available.

It's strange that finding flaws is framed negatively. This ability is a positive trait in software development.
You would die if you drank heavy water for long enough. But it is very expensive, so you could not afford to buy that much.
Short fasting has been shown to have positive health effects when done right. Even short fasting can be dangerous and should absolutely not be done without prior consultation of a medical professional.

That being said 'clesnding' has been disproven scientifically so many times, I think there must be a Necromancer for bad nutritional myths out there. I just can't understand why this myth (together with others) always comes back from the grave.

Regarding vegans. Yes a primarily plant-based diet has been shown in studies to be beneficial to health. Depending on the environment of the test subjects. For practical purposes in western/northern societies that holds true.

The important word is plant based. Because without either taking extreme care of the (especially) micro nutrients as a vegan you either need to substitute or be extra cautious. And of omnivores with a primarily plant based diet also look at their nutritional balance, caloric intake and such, the difference between diets in the studied groups vanished.

So one could say if eating primarily plant based and being mindful of our diet and nutritional needs, there is no difference scientifically.

The only remaining difference is one of personal values and believes. The question of how (or if) do we want to have animals treated to firm our diet. Personally I would add to look at how do we want the humans in the food production chain treated as well and how do we want our diets to have an ecological impact.

But as said - these are existential because deeply personal value questions that can't be scientifically discussed.
It's not weird, it's controlling. Needing everyone to wear mono-colored shirts with buttons on it to feel tidy is a you problem.

A company I worked for (that I did generally like working for) implemented a suit and tie policy for management and above. It didn't affect me but I started looking for the door immediately and left a few months after.

Don't want to be in a company that is still clinging to 19th century values.
Cloudflare is likely one of the worst things that has happened to the internet in recent history.

Like, I get the need for some protective mechanisms for interactive content/posting/etc, but there should be zero cases where a simple HTTP 200 GET requires javascript/client side crap. If they serve me a slightly stale version of the remote resource (5 minutes/whatnot) that's fine.

They've effectively just turned into a google protection racket. Small/special purpose search/archive tools are just stonewalled.
How many votes does ISS functionally control?
Barely a drop in the bucket. But they did incur losses and are offloading their properties at losses. So wherever they did bid up properties, they are now providing discounts.
> IMHO, it seems more about Canada's skyrocketing deficit and debt with a quip that even Hitler had to contend with a budget (in general, not specifically to conduct the Holocaust) whereas Trudeau seems not to.

Few things to unwrap here. First, Hitler didn't contend with a budget - his country invaded, annexed, pillaged, stole, used slave labour at will to prop up their coffers. And the economy was already in a death spiral by the time of 1939 due to excessive spending on rearmament and vanity projects resulting in skyrocketing deficits.

Second, the way i interpret the "joke" is that Trudeau is compared to Hitler on their actions ( tyrannical actions). Many people have this crazy notion that being forced to get a vaccine is absolutely the same as the persecutions Jewish people faced in Nazi Germany, hence the Holocaust reference, because this "joke" isn't in a vacuum.

Different arguments would provide a different result, wouldn’t it?
This may be true, but can we argue that founder- primary shareholders who own > 10% of companies and worth billions like Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg contribute > 10,000X of average employee. This point can be taken in any direction and a question that society should answer with more data and rationality.
I think it is relative, and mostly a question of balance. Every workplace has its culture and norms.

Making a little effort to blend in is a question about showing respect for your co-workers.
But on the other hand, how you dress is self-expression.
I agree with getting SSDs from different vendors, for the following reason: I once had a FreeNAS system fail. It was using two (mirrored) SSDs to hold the OS. One SSD failed; while I was procuring a replacement, the second failed.

I later found that both SSDs were from the same batch, which (I think) is why both failures happened so close together. Purchasing same-size SSDs from different vendors (with similar product lines) helps ensure you're using SSDs that should hopefully fail at different times.

Some very bold claims, would love some citations to give them more credibility.

HIIT workouts are great for cardiovascular fitness and melted the fat off of me that I gained from a sedentary lifestyle spanning the last 2-3 years for example.

Because some people have the habit of dominating discussions or steering discussion away that paints them in a negative light.
