No, no they aren't, especially if you haven't already won the birth lottery. We're coming in an era of decreasing social mobility, where the majority will drown in poverty.
I second this. What's worse is that being a devops guy, most coding interviews I've ever done are totally irrelevant to the roles I've had. In a good market I can avoid companies using services like this.
Yes you are right nothing concrete yet but it's beginning to take shape now regarding the lifestyle and habit as the risk factors for cancer.

For more scientifically savvy research please check this recent video presentation from Dr. Leeper, Professor of Surgery and the Chief of Vascular Medicine at Stanford University. He's a cardiologist and co-founder of two biotechnology companies, 47 Inc. and Bitterroot Bio, that aim to prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Normal glass has low transmission for UV-B and UV-C, but significant transmission of UV-A. This in combination with high altitudes (so less atmosphere) and also simple thermal heating, could already explain this.

Perhaps aircraft should add an UV-A blocking layer to their windows?

I don't think increased radiation levels would contribute differentially to skin cancer, because we're talking about gamma rays.
It’s more subtle and monumental than that. Before this JS was already executing at the same speed as Java except for in arithmetic. At this rate of improvement eventually JS will execute much faster than Java in all areas except arithmetic where it will achieve near parity.

I am not seeing any other programming language continuously improve their execution speed this much.

If you cut the internet, people in Russia will be left only with their own government. I think that this would be counterproductive. I'd be against CF having business with the government or media that spreads fake news and deliberate propaganda, but some of the other resources are vital for innocent people's lives.

How many sends are we talking about? Into how many messages is the data turned, how often does it get sent around?

If I send 1MiB of data by packing it up into messages of 10 byte each, it will ikely be slower than sending 10MiB in a single message. Messages == Overhead. Envelopes, packing, unpacking, parsing, assembling, etc. all eat up cycles.

If only it were that easy.

Life goals and dreams are hard because of their innate complexity to achieve them. It's easy to state "I want to start a family" or "I want to become a business owner" or "I want to climb Everest". It's the execution which is hard because that relies on so many variables most of which you don't really control.

Social background, economic background, your health, your personality, your skills and abilities, your awareness of opportunities or lack thereof, ingrained beliefs and biases, education level, culture, current events, family dynamics, upbringing,...

The notion that you're in control of what happens in your life is a convenient belief, not a hard fact. It's only when that belief is shattered by hard reality that you start to understand that life doesn't necessarily follow the script you had in mind when you're young.

The kicker then is understanding that happiness isn't to be found only when you reach the end of the rainbow, when you finally achieve the dream. It's there along the road, between the rubble and troubles that life throws at you. It's found in what you make out of each day you're given in good health.

What upsets you so much about the story, can I ask.

Is their a certain section that sounds out to you?

In my country its very common to tell yarns or tall tails, to try make them believable as possible, trying to make sense of a hard situation.

They say what if X

I say what if Y

They say no that wouldn't happen because of Z

I say factoring in Z how about YY

Its not like anyone actually believes the story, but the goal is to make it believable - almost possible. Something that you consider in the back of your mind.

For example, their was a news report of a military airplane doing circles north of my city leaving contrails.

I said well what if they are testing the release of a airborne bacteria like they did in San Francisco.

My friend said that would only be possible if the wind direction was blowing south

We checked the wind, it was blowing south.

Now we have a story, with just enough credible information to make a highly unlikely situation possible.

That is what a movie is, a story where you suspended disbelief just enough to be entertained. We are doing that but verbally, its a exchange and it is actually quite fun to see what outrageous stories you have spin to be half believable.
If you try it yourself and continue moving the 'screen' closer towards the two slits, the wave pattern will eventually disappear and you will have the two 'piles' of photons you refer to.

There's nothing like testing it yourself in 'real life' if you remain unconvinced.
This all seems like bad advice stemming from some naturalistic fallacy.

>a pragmatic daily fitness (for example commuting with a bike) instead of a more 'artificial' fitness

For example this just seems random. Driving a bike is not even more natural (were there bikes in the EEA) and if anything will just expose you to more polluted air, and increase your risk of dying by a car crash compared to gym alternatives. This doesn't mean biking is bad compared to not doing anything but that's not the claim here.
Its a stupid suggestion to put it mildly, pardon my french. There is no deal to be signed. Unless you mean complete Ukrainian surrender, being dragged into being another Russian slave like Chechnya or Belarus. Putin doesn't accept anything less. Russia is now yet another horrible dictatorship, no reason to believe Ukraine would fare any better, in fact most probably much, much worse due to resistance to this invasion.

By now we all see that Russian words are less than farts in the wind, meaningless blabber with no face value.

This all was the reason why they resisted in the first place, they have good memories of brutal Russian oppression from all of 20th century. Why should they give up everything now? Doesn't make any sense.
> iTerm2 is perhaps the best terminal app on any platform

I'm curious (since I very rarely use MacOS) what makes it better than say: Alacritty, kitty, or even something basic like xfce4-terminal?

In terms of responsiveness I can't think of something better than alacritty/kitty.

In terms of everyday basic features something like xfce4-terminal seems to cover everything. Does iTerm2 have features that make everyday usage more pleasant?

Thanks.
Sure but depending how it is framed it has very real consequences. Just see the other post below you, cynically, already downvoted. It rallies people up in some self-righteous parallel reality cheering on the conflict quelling any voice of reason. After all there is the archetypal underdog you know and love from movies, surely the eagles will come any moment now.

Ukrainians will die over the unwillingness to just take what ever demands Russia has now instead of in what ever time it takes to install a puppet regime in the rubble. And while some are forced to stay there due to conscription, quite a lot seem to be caught up in a nationalistic fever and delusional belief that "the West will stand with them".

The only thing the west will do is ship outdated weapon to give Russia their Vietnam. Which unfortunately for the Ukrainian people will be fought in their hometowns.

The Ipynb – Jupyter Notebook File Extension
What no one seem to mention is the mentality that software should cost almost nothing. The other day I researched an alternative to MS Word for Mac and found Nisus Writer Pro. Immediately fell in love with it and did not hesitate a second before paying 65 Euros for this beautiful app. My colleague went like „Woah, that‘s expensive.“ Really? We pay so much for so many things, why not value a good product and pay the price. This colleague buys several cups of coffee a day (!) for almost four euros each, and thinks software should cost almost nothing.

And this is a mentality that I see very often. When I read software reviews they go like: „xyz is a pretty decent piece of software, but at 50 Euros it is a rather expensive piece.“ WTF.
At least they've added a regression test to make sure this bug does not occur again.

I'm kidding of course, this is the Linux kernel we are talking about.
For potentially relevant context:
Upwork cut off access from Russia and Belarus yesterday, doesn't allow new contracts for/with people from those countries any more, and has announced that all existing contracts will terminate on May 1st.
It seems like a valid distinction, but I do not agree with it.

If what you are doing does not bother the government you may be able to say "see, it is not that bad, they are not telling me what to do in the totality of social, economic and political life"; if, on the other side, you do something they disagree with, the distinction between totalitarism and non-democracy disappears.

In other words, to me the difference between being able to control and attempt to control are not that different. If it is possible, eventually somebody will attempt it. This is where checks and controls, division of power, etc. are useful.
I would imagine it's because of the increased radiation you receive during a flight. For one flight, it's negligible, but if it's your job to be in the stratosphere for 20+ hours a shift, year round, it will probably start to add up. It would be like spending all your work life on the beach.
I think Putin starting talks with Ukraine, and not the other way round, further shows that he tremendously underestimated the time frame.
The common text file for lots of this, CSVs, are absolutely awful. They're fine until they totally aren't, they were just the best option for a lot of use cases. I'd argue that's now been entirely replaced with parquet, significantly faster and broad support, proper types and more.
That's it, for a long time, what a lot of companies that jumped on the big data bandwagon didn't realize is that they didn't actually have big data.

I'm sure there's some arbitrary lines that can be drawn, but anything under 1 TB is not big data anymore and can be processed on a single machine.

Other things to consider is data volume though. A popular use case of hadoop was to take e.g. server access logs - high volume data that traditionally you wouldn't hold onto for long - and get something meaningful out of that.
Research in using psychedelics for mental health (and recreation) is great and delayed by many years due to stupid and misguided regulations.

In smaller doses I think most people will experience a positive trip if they have a good set and setting.

In higher doses though, the trip is more unpredictable and harder to control. You can't overpower negative thoughts as well because your brain works differently than you're used to.

I can't begin to explain how scary it is when time starts slowing to a crawl, looping and your mind and thoughts don't make sense anymore. Some people never really come back from that.
Taking a "heroic" McKenna dose of 5+ grams of mushrooms is extremely stupid and dangerous. Don't do this.

Likewise I think self-medicating with psychedelics to fix mental health is very risky but some risks may be worth it I suppose.
I think that browser developers are optimizing the wrong thing. Specifically: they optimize for execution speed while they better optimize for minimum memory usage instead. Let me explain why this is more important.

Let's say I am visiting a properly made website and it takes 10% of CPU to render. Even if browser devs make their browser twice faster, it will only save 5% of CPU time - and that would be completely unnoticeable. You might ask, what about modern websites, built with D*t compiled to webassembly, GPU acceleration, reactive frameworks, material design and capable to load the multi-core CPU at 100%? I am not using such sites so I don't care.

Now let's look at memory usage. Optimizing for speed usually causes increased memory consumption, and this increases the chance of invoking swapping. If the system starts swapping, it becomes orders of magnitude slower. No speed optimizations will matter in this case.

Therefore if you are targeting wide audience, and not only mac users, then you should be optimizing for memory usage. If the browser could use two times less memory while using twice amount of CPU time that would be perfect. Just think how many laptops with 2 or 4 Gb of RAM would become usable again.
Right. The lossless algorithms are mostly related to general insights for efficiently storing common patterns of data, plus some component of figuring out how to express image data in a way that makes it most suitable for that existing "common pattern" compression. This begins with Run Length Encoding, the insight that we can store 8 times Z rather than "ZZZZZZZZ" if we're careful to do so unambiguously.

In contrast the lossy algorithms are about specifically what humans don't see well or don't care about. For example in vision humans don't see colours with the same accuracy as brightness because of how their vision works. When it comes to moving images, humans don't see as much detail at all when things are moving so you can blur them and humans barely notice. Humans care a lot about the details of human-like faces, and scarcely at all about grass or water. In audio humans can't really hear certain frequency combinations, so the quieter frequencies can sometimes just be omitted.

Things look to be quite cyclic; ten years ago, NoSQL was pushed as The Future, but these days companies still build their core data on top of a traditional relational database. I don't even know which NoSQL is even popular. It feels like it's been pushed to the fringes, e.g. key/value stores, or the Q in a CQRS setup where it acts more as a readonly cache.

Whats the heathy diet she refers to?
Sugar intake?
Carb intake ?

She seems in physically great shape but has this been attained by eating food all day, not giving the body time to rest. Would time restricted eating have helped?

All bodies are different, but having tried various diets over the years , fasting or time restricted eating seems to give me the best benefits, I look at lot younger than my age(45).

I see a lot of long distance athletes in my own country(Ireland) the same age as myself that look aged, is this because of the copious amounts of high carb food that they eat to sustain their energy. Also have seen a lot of cases of heart attacks recently in these so called fit people. Sorry a bit blunt there
It is interesting to note that Apple, Cisco, Google et al. don't have a method of getting paid by Russians anymore now that Mastercard/Visa and SWIFT have been shut down.

Cloudflare, being paid by page operators outside the Russian Federation, does not face that challenge. Instead, they want more users, for more users directly means more cash for them.

Of course, it is a lot more socially acceptable to claim you're pulling out of Russia to protest the invasion, or to stay in to give people better information. Doesn't make you look like it's all about the money for you.
UK here for context. We only have to fast for 12-24 hours prior to the colonoscopy. You can drink water or plain tea (no sugar, cream or milk).

They offer "gas and air" mainly. You don't even have to have that. You are fully awake during the procedure, laughing at the live HD video feed from inside you on the big screen.

You can be fully anaesthetised but that's very rare here in the UK.

After the appointment, it's a free cup of tea, and some biscuits. You have to wait for a couple of blood pressure tests, but after 15 mins recovery you can leave and go home. The entire process from entering the clinic unti leaving is about an hour.

The process is mildly uncomfortable but not really painful. Nothing like childbirth for example.

Don't be scared. It doesn't hurt too much. And as other commenters have written, any polyps they remove could have become tumours in 10 years, and afterwards, you are effectively safe from colon cancer for a decade.

If the NHS (UK) find and remove any polyps, they'll add you to a watch list for regular colonoscopy procedures. I have one every 2-3 years, others have them annually.

Get that camera up you... It might save your life.

Early-onset breast cancer is most likely genetic, so the only thing that could've been done is to catch it earlier by having enhanced monitoring.

Hopefully we'll learn more about the underlying genetics and have better risk assessment tests in the future to catch these earlier.
Ultrasound is not a useful imaging modality for anything in the GI tract. Most countries do have FOBT screening available
Why is that surprising? I do not understand the assumption.
The way I think about cancer: Each and every one of us is playing Russian roulette daily with a revolver with a giant drum with tens of thousands of empty slots and a single bullet. And some people load more bullets in the drum by smoking, drinking, getting sunburned, other risky behavior or just losing the genetic lottery.

At the end of the day, the outcome is still random. You'll still come across chain smokers that live to be 100 and people like Seema in the post, who get cancer despite doing everything "right". It doesn't seem fair - because it isn't, it's random. The best we can do is change the odds, not guarantee the outcome.
De facto slave labor, as always.
You're basically asking: Does the dealer's negotiation reduce prices to consumers more than their cuts increase it. I don't think so, at least not for Tesla.

I'm pretty pessimistic on this. For one, middlemen traditionally increase costs, due to the reduction in inefficiency and well, their cut. Furthermore there already exists a competition layer at the manufacturer level.

In the supply constrained world, this is even more so, as middleman will happily arbitrage prices upwards (see GPU scalpers), meaning that they get to extract value, while providing minimal service of their own.
