If browsers were to artificially limit network speeds, it would force web page authors to slim down their pages...

I wish that was true. The truth is that a lot of developers don't know how to do that work, or that don't care, or (very weirdly in my opinion) are actually proud of the fact they build a huge and bloated app.

Moreover though, sometimes those large apps are actually relevant. Having a background video on a brochure site isn't automatically a bad thing - those features can and do drive sales. You might disagree with that about some feature you don't like, but chances are there's some other feature you do like that other people would happily limit because they don't need it. We should be wary of imposing limits on everything because we would lose some things that are actually good for some users. To use a lovely British idiom, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.

Dead simple solution: provide a GDPR consent form with "yes, I accept being tracked" or "no I refuse being tracked in any way".

Or even better, make the form automatically recognizable by your browser and a setting in the browser so that it says yes or no for you.

Have you ever notices that the "yes I agree" button is most of the time MUCH easier to click on than to tell "no I don't" ?
Huh? I've always thought otherwise.

The one that did burn me was learning JavaScript after python. Uncanny valley: there are idioms that are close but not exactly the same between the two languages. It was easier for me to move from c++ to python then from python to JavaScript.

Stay away from sugar and simple carbs as much as possible. They stimulate your appetite after your blood sugar level drops, causing you to eat more. Sugar is hidden in a lot of foods, so do the best you can. I stay away from processed foods and sauces as much as possible. Sometimes I stress eat, and for that I turn to popcorn made with an air popper (no toppings). White popcorn tastes best. Eating fruit, especially frozen blueberries, helped me break the sugar cravings. They subside after a few days.
When it becomes evident that "clear medical advice" isn't working, then maybe we should dig another level deeper and find out WHY it isn't working. Shifting the blame to the patients when you have most that are failing is, in my opinion, bad medicine.

Actually what you need in your body is rust, i.e. iron ions.

Metallic iron cannot be used in any way by living beings, before it is oxidized to rust.

The leaked iron from cookware is already in the form of "rust", more precisely the iron is leached after it is oxidized to iron ions. The ions with 2 elementary charges remain dissolved in the water, and they may be absorbed by the body, while the iron ions with 3 elementary charges (these are the components of rust in the strict sense, i.e. of red iron oxide) will normally precipitate into red rust crystals, which will pass through the digestive tract mostly without being absorbed (a few might be reduced to ions with 2 charges, and then be absorbed).
I've also been trying Kagi search these past days and I'm impressed by the search results and the performance. Will keep using it for the time being.

What matters is not revenue, but physical manufacturing, and where it is.

The global industry today is paralysed by lack of nothing more than few cent microcontrollers.

As I said above, restoring working of existing fabs will require rebuilding the entire Asian supply chain for chemicals, spare parts, consumables, and services.

> She cut the course about 3/4 of a mile from the turnaround – cutting a total of 1-1/2 miles.
I lost 15kg in 3 months by cutting down carbs and cutting down portion sizes by about 50%. Essentially cut out rice, pasta, bread and swapped with wraps (low carb) or zucchini noodles. Also used low carb wraps as a pizza base. I opted for high protein instead. I felt super hungry when I cut down portion sizes but as my stomach shank to a normal size, I started to eat less and felt full when I was supposed to. I also felt sick if I would then overeat. This is the hard part for most people. They believe they need to eat something when they get hungry when they don't. Your stretch receptors in your stomach need to recalibrate. I also went to the gym and did 30 min of cardio and 20 minutes of strength training 3-4 times per week.

On a day-to-day basis, weight measurement changes are dominated by changes in retained water. This will certainly correlate with daily food choices, but does not really reflect meaningful changes in body composition. Average your measurements over something like a week in order to gauge actual progress.
I discussed that with someone on reddit. Indeed private sector can fail too, they share some of the reasons. People said it was also a function of size.

An answer that fits the request for "weird":

That's the main issue here; the EU mandated consent and gave guidelines on what that consent might look like, but they left implementation down to the industry, which decided to do it themselves (often using dark patterns, for which some companies already got fined) instead of integrating it in browsers.

I remember 20 odd years ago now when Firefox came out with a popup blocker standard, built-in. Whatever happened to this "we need to reduce annoyances on the internet" movement? Why aren't the browsers themselves doing more against it?

I mean I know that Chrome and Firefox won't block ads by default because it affects their bottom line (Chrome through Google ads, Firefox through Google money), but what about GDPR consent forms and newsletter sign-up popups?
> You cannot possibly expect every developer, even very experienced ones, to know every nook and cranny of every technology you specifically work with, but they are experienced enough to know how learn new skills quickly to complete a project.

I am specifically not doing that. Nor did my comments really warrant thinking that (maybe because I mentioned WCAG 2.0?). Testing, accessibility, architecture and good semantic code are skills that apply to all work in the front end space. If you're an experienced dev but you don't do those things, then I'm not exactly sure what experienced means? I don't want someone who has just built features without those things. It doesn't matter what framework you use or what libraries you know. I'm not sure how you took my comments to mean I'm doing this. I specifically tell candidates that we can teach them our specific tooling and about our business domain.

From my original comment I said "...aren't up to date on practices we care about, like accessibility, semantic HTML, app architecture etc" Perhaps "up to date" was the phrase that got under people's skin? Best practices are always evolving, but in all those categories, there is a pretty commonly understood bar of skills, and I often receive assignments that miss those marks.

Finally, I have encountered situations where one of those has been very under-skilled (most commonly accessibility), but the others were strong (testing, architecture, html/css). I have made calls in that case to hire with a plan that we'll work on the lagging skill.

I think in this case my comments were extrapolated on in an unwarranted manner. The internet isn't a perfect way to communicate, but at the end of the day I didn't say anything that is unreasonable. Also, it sounds like we're both in agreement on what makes for a good engineer.

The perils of licensing your name out I suspect
It can't be. At least not if you want to accept cookies. Declining is easy. You can just decline everything (technically) not necessary.

The problem is, that consent must be given freely and fully informed. And this is the catch. Automatic acceptance isn't fully informed and with that the consent isn't valid.

So it would put the companies in danger and therefore no company could honor this standard.

Sadly - as it would make live more easy. But it would be enough if companies would just not use dark patterns. If there is a banner the "Accept all" and the "Deny all" must be both be the same level of "easy-ness" and the same amounts of clicks (and wait time). Only if you want to you would need to dive into the detailed categories.

And even there: Most sites abuse "legitimate interest". Everything non essential should by default be inactive. But sadly it isn't.

It should not take a careful reading to conclude the guy cheated, it's plain as day, the marathons declared him a cheater, in this article it says Meza's times were practically but not literally impossible when others declared it wasn't practically but rather literally impossible.

Maybe I'm being too hard on him in reaction to how soft the article is, it might have been senility.

Absolutely not. No child should be publicly outed for anything whatsoever. Perhaps quietly disqualified, but I will never find it acceptable to "out" children who make poor decisions.
American breakfast is an abomination. Even the eggs and bacon taste worse than in Europe. In our family we only have it about once a month as a special treat. (My toddler gets it every day but it's not a typical breakfast)

My British wife can't stand the bread in the US. She says it tastes like cake (and her UK friends agree). The funny thing is British bread doesn't taste any less sweet to my American palate.

> while they don't read your Gmail email content

Depends on what you mean by "read". Google (and MS, and likely others) certainly parse the content. For example pulling out times for upcoming flights you've booked without you needing to click into the email.

Obviously I have no way to know if they actually do anything else internally with the result of parsing. I have to assume that they do though.
Testing public methods is not an argument for not testing private methods. In testing, unlike in construction of software, it can be good to combine many different approaches, because each has diminishing returns and they compensate for each others weak points.

There's actually a lot of stuff that's known to work for weight loss but it's illegal and dangerous.

There's the stimulants route which suppresses hunger and raises your metabolic rate. They used to put this shit in supplements and it worked but some people have died from this and long term health side effects are probably not good.

There's stuff like DNP which screws up your body's ability to convert food into energy and turns it in to heat - you feel like shit and you can die from cooking yourself - it's probably the most effective thing and doesn't even require restricting calories. This is the only thing that would be what some people hope for as the magic bullet transformation (maybe outside of surgical/lypo) - but the chances of you dying are high and you're completely useless while on it.

There's the steroids route - the immediate side effects aren't life threatening but there are a lot of complications (hair loss, gyno, acne) and potential long term health damage (cardiovascular, can permanently screw up your endocrine system and force you on lifelong TRT). With steroids you can lose fat while gaining muscle, depending on the compound/dosage even when eating a surplus, they rewire your metabolism. There was a study where giving 500mg test a week for 3 months to a control group that did no exercise outperformed the muscle development of a group of untrained men who followed a weightlifting program for 3 months (and untrained people have the strongest response to training). Steroids take a long time and give you medium effects (nothing like DNP for example), eg. the progress you would make with steroids and training in 3 months would be like the progress you made in 6 months if you were just training. But if you're older TRT is definitely worth looking into.
Oh OK that, yeah, that's harassment.
Just like producing any kind of industrial product, the issue is NIH-syndrome.

Sure you won't be able to compete with the likes of GPT-3, but no one is suggesting you should. The key is to treat software as a commodity and apply it as such. This has been the case for decades (who writes their custom office suite or even OS?) and will expand to ML/AI as well.

We are already at a stage where you don't start from zero and reinvent the wheel every time you need speech- or image recognition. There are readily available off the shelf solutions and customisation is not much more involved than say customising an ERP tool; it's different expertise that's required, sure, but the effort is comparable.

A couple of years from now ML tooling and infrastructure will have caught up to ERP, CAD/CAM, and spreadsheet software - just another tool that can be brought in and provide immediate benefit without scores of consultants, developers and research.

Someone recently infected with HIV can potentially pass it on to others whilst not being detectably infected. It makes sense to limit those who engage in high risk activities until sufficient time has passed that they will now test positive. The full criteria is here:

"You should not give blood if you have AIDS or have ever had a positive HIV test, or if you have done something that puts you at risk for becoming infected with HIV.

You are at risk for getting infected if you:

have used needles to take any drugs, steroids, or anything not prescribed by your doctor in the last 3 months

are a male who has had sexual contact with another male, in the last 3 months

have taken money, drugs or other payment for sex in the last 3 months

have had sexual contact in the past 3 months with anyone described above"

So this process is "CO2 hydrogenation" meaning that it needs elemental hydrogen, which is not naturally available (except in trace amounts). To make this work one needs to first produce hydrogen which is itself an energy consuming process.

So basically, we'd burn fossil fuels producing CO2 and then reverse this process via "CO2 hydrogenation" (with significant losses) to again get the hydrocarbons (aka gasoline) ?

This whole thing would only make sense if we had abundant source of elemental hydrogen. But then why burn fuel in the first place.

(This would only make sense if all fuel totally ran out and then we'd need this process to make hydrocarbons for material use: plastics, etc..)
> But did he deserve "the pressure, attention, emailing, even trolling" that he got?

What made his conduct outrageous is how he was clinging to his side. He could have just said: “yup, you got me. I had a rough day and made a bad decision.” They would have disqualified his result, maybe banned him in the future races and nothing more would have come from it.

You can’t keep maintaining the unmaintainable and expect people to loose interest. He liked the prestige while he was on the good side of it, and when he turned out to be a cheater he wanted suddenly none of the attention.

You said that a professional PR firm couldn’t help him. Sure enough, turns out it is very hard to rebuild a house while it is actively burning and the owner is pouring more gasoline on it every so often.

It's science fiction, but quickly heading towards science, to engineer hearts which don't require quite the same cocktail of hearts. Cells would need to present the same way as the patient, so the engineering would need to be specific to each patient (which also means the patient needs to wait for the pig to grow old enough).
The inability to mass-produce complex high-tech items is a known problem for Russia. It even effects chip production. For example, Russian flagship semiconductor company mikron.ru was not able to switch from 90 to 65nm for the last like 6 or 7 years. 65nm is still listed as experimental [1]. I thought that this was some kind of a corruption tax or barrier that made it impossible to scale the production, but given how widespread was this, I started to suspect that other factors were at play.

Silence and contempt is usually the career saving answer. While the public messaging is different, I believe there is a strong incentive to not hire too outspoken people as they are highly divisive in a work environment. But the academic world very likely looks differently. Ironic that the alleged accusations of discrimination became true mainly due to their censorious actions.

A lot of people support those in danger of getting cancelled out of protest and it seems to be working quite well. Advertisers might be still more careful here, but that isn't only a bad thing.

Having good insulin sensitivity and becoming fat adapted is essential if you want to avoid holding excess weight.

There is no secret hack for losing weight. The best thing you can do is limit food intake to 1 meal a day and cut your carb & sugar intake as much as possible. Basically you'll want to avoid things like sugary drinks, bread, rice, pasta, etc while eating more vegetables and meat. Doing this will lower your calorie intake while improving your insulin sensitivity significantly. Personally I also do a day without food once every couple of weeks, then once every few months I'll do a 5 day extended fast. You don't need to go this far, but there's plenty of evidence to suggest fasting is great for general health and insulin sensitivity so it's worth doing if you can. I can almost guarantee even if you don't get much exercise so long as you stick to a diet like this you'll drop to a healthy weight fairly quickly.

It's fine to have a cheat day (or two) every now and then because you need the diet to be sustainable. I find I have the will power to be very strict about what I consume from Mon-Fri then I'll allow myself to have a few treats on the weekend.

Also something you'll find when you become fat adapted is that you're way less hungry and much more mentally stable. When you're body wants a constant source of carbs you can only go so long before you're feeling hungry. These days I enjoy food, but I can easily skip a couple of days and feel fine. I've come to believe that what we think of hunger in developed countries probably isn't hunger, but just our bodies craving a hit of carbs. What I'm saying is that you'll probably find a low-carb diet very difficult for the first couple of months, but with time you'll find it gets much easier.
Didn't unit testing come out of the Smalltalk culture? Smalltalk has no private methods, or public properties. So if there's stuff that's an implementation detail it goes in another object.
Carbon dioxide is a by product of metabolism and creation of energy. When you eat less, your body turns fat to energy and releases CO2, that where this is from. When you exercise your body needs more oxygen to get more energy and release more CO2.

Some tips/hacks to eat less: coffee is an appetite suppressant, so is nicotine, weed is the opposite. Some foods keep you fuller for longer like meat and fibrous veg or brocolli. Its easier (and more time efficient) to avoid eating the calories than exercising the same number off, a piece of cake 500cal is something like an hour or more jogging. Get busy and sleep earlier/longer, less time to think of food or snack.
Yeah that's the weird part, that she was able to leave the course and cut off a chunk of it without apparently being noticed.

I would imagine - well, depending on the formality of the event - that there would be frequent 'checkpoints' to log intermediate times and calculate average speed, like once per kilometer or so or even more frequent. If cheating is that big of an issue, of course.
