I'm very similar to you and your history.

I'm 41 now and my body weight is still like when I was 20.
I have a pretty cool use case where I successfully interfaced between C++ and Rust code.

This was for a project consisting of a sculpture with a bunch of LED strips on it, and my part was to do the programming, electronics and wiring for it.

To control the LED strips I use Teensy 3.2 microcontroller boards, with the OctoWS2811 adaptor board [0], along with an industrial singleboard computer.

The Teensy 3.2 boards I programmed using the Arduino libraries and the OctoWS2811 library [1]. The code I wrote for this part was C++. (But I don’t use the Arduino IDE, I use JetBrains CLion.)

Compiling and flashing the firmware for the Teensy, and disconnecting and reconnecting cables etc was making the development a bit annoying.

So in Rust I wrote a LED simulator program that renders the “pixels” of the LED strips on my screen, and I compiled my C++ code that I’ve written for the microcontrollers on the host, with some shims that I wrote to provide some functions that my firmware uses, and I link this with my Rust program.

The end result is that I have a fully functioning LED simulator that I use while developing, that runs on my computer. It runs on both macOS and Linux. And then the same C++ code of mine gets included and built without modification when I build my firmware for the microcontrollers.

It is work that I am very satisfied about :)

Should also note that I use the bindgen crate, not cxx. https://crates.io/crates/bindgen

Since I also thought Tensors were just higher dimension arrays, isn't this really what ML folks think Tensors are, since they (we?) do attach units to the Tensors most of the time?
I mean, the same can be said about your comment. You’re strongly interpreting the results the other way (ie by trying to discredit them implicitly).

The current study has has not found links between cool light at night and sleep patterns. That may change in the future, sure, but current science suggests said theory is debunked (and I’m not afraid to use that word).
I'd argue they absolutely do have that right. A doctor is in a position of immense power and trust, and you need to know that your doctor will be honest if they make mistakes and not try to cover them up. This is a matter of character.
Right now we're playing the gambling game of sinking the cost of fixing our old, high mileage car rather than paying the inflated prices. The question of course is how long do we hold out (or will the car hold out) in the cost of fixing becoming more expensive then the inflated costs.
Mentioned below that HTTPS-default (which is an option in ordinary Firefox) is intended to become mandatory in Tor-browser.

I use this on my main PC. Once or twice a day I might visit some old or especially cantankerous site that doesn't do HTTPS, I get a full page interstitial explaining the problem, I can decide if I'm OK with that. Otherwise every single link, typed URL, etc. is HTTPS regardless of whether that was what was originally written.

I wouldn't recommend it in its current state for my mother, but it's definitely what someone using Tor would want, and it's only getting more ubiquitous.
>> I hate how this trope is pulled out all the time, as if being a for-profit company requires them to abandon their morals.

>> Which is patently false. A corporation can both have morals and make profit. Even public companies.

You are correct, but which one is more profitable?

Would they make more money boldly telling LGBTQ+ stories or not?

Similarly, why do so many companies do what China asks? See https://mashable.com/article/china-censorship-companies-hong...

It's because they want to make MORE money than they could if they did otherwise.
I'm pretty sure those 15 mpg mega trucks and SUVs will be cheap soon.
I used to be a big fan of f.lux, then I just stopped using it and never felt the need to go back. My eyes never got any more sore and my sleep didn't suffer.

I started to wonder how much of it was the placebo effect, the initial change is certainly noticeable but the benefits are hard to actually quantify for yourself.
I don't understand what this solves... source maps make debugging the compiled typescript easy in a web browser, and on the server you can use things like ts-node to run the typescript without compiling. Having type "comments" seems like way less utility compared to what typescript offers
Given Lavrov has developed a pattern of describing some twisted alternative reality with a straight face, why should we believe anything he says? The point of diplomacy is to create mutual understanding, and his goal appears to be the exact opposite. His words are now somewhere between meaningless and harmful, and he should be completely ignored until he resumes communicating in good faith.
Haha - it punctured your Firefox window!
>What’s causing demand to be so high

When some people wants one, and there aren't enough, suddenly everyone wants one. Herd mentality.

>and when might that go down.

When there is enough for everybody, price will fall, and all of a sudden people will just decide to wait a little longer. ( So Called Demand disappeared )

>what’s causing supply to be low

Chips, COVID, Shipping, Containers Shortage, Gas Price, GeoPolitics and War. It is quite literally the perfect storm on Supply Chain.

>when might that go up?

When we over estimate the so called demand and over invest into the supply capacity.
It's not "bro science", unless you count nearly every government health agency as part of "bro science". More lean muscle mass => higher basal metabolic rate. The bro science part is usually overstating the effectiveness of this, but it's a real effect.

Just to make sure I’m understanding, is the suggestion that people who lived through that high inflation period became more inclined to spend and less inclined to save, culturally, to this day? Do you have any links discussing this further?

Most of this thread is about time-boxing your meal(s) and losing weight. An important aspect of fasting is that there are highly beneficial results to not eating - especially for 36 hours or more.

Most of what Galen Foundation promotes seems to be a low carb, low sugar, low manufactured (including processed vegetable oils), non-vegetarian diet combined with what ever level of fasting you feel comfortable with.

Interesting stuff:

Yes, "they had all that" in 1992: speech recognition, image classification, speech synthesis etc. These are problems as old as the field [1]. They didn't work as well as they do now, but computers where not as powerful and datasets where not as large, as they are now. The approaches though, that do all these things today, are still the same old statistical learning approaches, just with more data and more compute.

At the same time, we don't know if what statistical approaches can't do, but symbolic approaches excel at, like reasoning, for example, would also benefit from the modern advances in computational power, because there's almost nobody trying. All the large tech corporations are head-over-heels for statistical learning and most people are running behind them, following the current trend. So nobody's trying to scale up, I don't know, classical planning or SAT solvers, to the extent that Google, Facebook et al, have scaled up neural nets.

_______________

[1] Specifically, the field of pattern recognition, which is older than machine learning as a field of research. See the Introduction chapter in "Statistical Learning Theory" (the textbook) by Vapnik for a quick run-through of the history of statistical inference, pattern recognition and statisical learning.
Very good questions there! 1) Yes, our process is similar to bioprinting but it is much more scalable than typical bioprinting. Because this is our proprietary tech I can't say much more than that at this point:) 2) We are currently still using some gelatin in our scaffold which is animal derived but of course we are putting a lot of effort into making it completely animal free asap. 3) There are companies who are focusing on the replacement of FBS and they are moving into relatively scaled processes now. So I would say we are close! Let us know if you have any follow up questions :)
> Have a time period where people can throw in their names for consideration, and a randomly-ordered list is generated. You go down the list until you reach a person who can put down the deposit. A lottery, essentially.

Stocks should be traded this way, too. Having an arms race for fiber latency makes a mockery of the idea that they are for efficient allocation of capital. Queue up all the trades requested in each second/minute, then execute them in random order.
And by the same logic, staying healthy “naturally” is quite easy when you live in an urban area and go out on foot for [everything].

I gave up automobiles about twenty years ago, and attribute my health and slenderness (relative to the rest of my family) mostly due to walking-lifestyle. I spent last month visiting family, and definitely put on weight from thirty days of being sedentary in the suburbs. Awful way to live.
I haven't made the argument that it should or shouldn't, and I'm not for endless punishment, though I'm not for forgetting someone's crimes either.

What I will say and the point that I've made and will stick to is that it is in no way, no way at all, penance.
Somalia couldn't come out from the civil war without Turkey's helping hand. Turkey achieve what UN/EU/USA couldn't do in Somalia. Building a strong military, and infrastructure, education, agriculture. Turkey did all those because it wanted to help the people in Somalia without no expectation in return.

After a lake vacation in western NC, I stumbled across my first Griswold Cast Iron pan. The bug hit me and I've collected a couple of others since then. My favorite so far is the Colonial Skillet Griswold 666 (aka Satan's Helper). Makes an amazing mix of eggs, potatoes and bacon. I started looking up the best way to season these pans and found [0] and [1] very insightful.

Impressive initiative. I understand too little of this matter to judge the merits of your approach. However, it is clear to me that if cultivated meat achieves feature parity with "regular" meat and becomes cheaper to produce, it will be the biggest revolution in food since the invention of agriculture, and a possible world saver. Thank you for trying! :-)

If you're just using tiny bits of javascript here and there, you probably don't need to type check anything, or at the very least you can do so manually. People wrote complex plugins and scripts in javascript for years without syntax additions and tooling to enforce a degree of type strictness that the language doesn't even need most of the time.
I don't think you can talk about the engines being the problem if the supposed alternative to kerosene-type fuels are methane and alcohol - the engines are probably the easy part of the problem there; it's the pressurization or cryogenic requirement for methane and the significantly lower (~half?) mass energy density for alcohol fuels.
Thinking emerged on Earth, from bacteria to the human mind
Perhaps. But that still has an influence on prices. With housing, the real estate agent will price based on other similar sales in the area. So one sale can, at least in theory, influence the price of multiple other homes in an area. And so on.

Along the same lines, in theory, Blackrock could purchase strategically such that it drives up the value of other inventory it owns in the same area. Not quite a pyramid scheme but you get the idea.
> you couldn't seamlessly support JS and TS with the same repo

You could ... use a bundler, which would handle both js and ts files quite seamlessly.
The alternatives are certainly there. I'm using Sinatra almost exclusively when I'm not running on Rack directly.

There are really neat complete frameworks like hanami, padrino and grape (not sure how active they are, though) too.

My point was not that "its impossible" just that compared to other languages, the Rails framework is an Elephant In The Room.

Python is much larger than Pytorch, Pandas, Django or whatnot. Typescript was built for React mostly, but outgrew that rapidly. Javascript is no longer focused around on framework (like it was in jQuery times, if you consider jQuery a framework). Java-for-web often boils down to Spring, but Java is much, much more versatile than that.

With Ruby? There's chef, puppet, some sinatra, capistrano and then there is ... RAILS!
Is it meh as a beta product or meh compared to existing mainstream browsers?
I didn't mean specifically ICollection, maybe I just used the wrong word (probably "enumerable" or "sequence" is better?). But I was referring to this method: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.linq.enum...

Very interesting how advanced those grievances are. If that's not a sign of maturity, I don't know what is.

Otherwise, seems like a good list, thanks for sharing @woodruffw.
As I always do, I have to leave my 2c for many people who moved to America from a very dense city, and disagree... I tried to live in dense places in Canada and the USA (dt Vancouver BC, SoMa in SF, etc.), use transit, walk for a long time, until I finally moved to a single family neighborhood... and it's SO much better! Especially during COVID. Aside from obvious benefits of quiet, trees, space, etc. I love driving everywhere, and dread having to walk or take transit now. I only wish I had moved all the way to a distant suburb instead of still being in the city... and that I did it years ago. I'll never live in a dense area again if I have a choice.

The main difference in Europe, as far as I can tell, is that only well-to-do people can afford a big house with land. And in Eastern Europe or East Asia, only the rich can. The US is just more advanced this way ;)
"84% of all weight that is lost is in the form of carbon dioxide"

1. Question the premise you're starting with (because it's false).

2. Do more physical activity. Ramp up slowly, but ensure movement and cardio every single day.

3. Eat less, and eat healthier.

So I guess these people don't remember Stalin and Lenin photoshopping in the 1930s. https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/stalin-photo-manipulation-1...

And then there's doubles: when you just find somebody who looks exactly like the real person, and get them to do some acting.

A deepfaked video or photoshop can be debunked because we're all aware that the technology exists to fake it; all we have to do is show evidence that it's not true. And at the same time, there will always be people who simply want to believe something and so will refuse any evidence to the contrary. You don't need a Deepfake for someone to believe that Hillary Clinton is running a gang of pedophiles out the nonexistent basement of a pizza parlor in the DC suburbs.
A subtle form of propaganda which is consistent with the truth is how you win hearts and minds of generations.
> Just because a feature is not widely adopted it doesn't mean that is not useful to the people using it

But it does mean there likely isn't a "huge demand", which was the original claim.

You're attempting to move the goalposts here.
> I think that the point is not just "burning calories"

That's a weird take given entire thread is about weight loss, and the gp was specifically noting that exercise won’t help with that. thomasfedb’s statement is rather explicit on that subject.

Found the guy who hasn't used Typescript beyond tinkering!

I kid... mostly. But in all honesty I have found very few instances of developers who have worked significantly with both languages and have come to the conclusion that TS has a marginal upside (though maybe they will come out in defense here!).
Honestly I've never used them of my own volition. So it's not so much that I've faced problems with them, it's just that I've never felt like they solved any problem I had.

I don't even really use "methods" strictly speaking, in general I'll use a dictionary of functions if I want to group functions together semantically, and I'll emit such a dictionary from a closure if for example I need to precompute a lookup table to be used for multiple related calls.

I've had more negative experiences with being denied the ability to do something by overwrought architecture than shooting myself with a footgun someone left in, but importantly I think my approach generally leads to more composability and agility.
Can we hope this will lead to some transparency about what sites are donwranked; how they are misinformation or otherwise worth the downranking; and maybe even some insight into what facilities there are for weighting the rankings and how those are otherwise used?

There are several reasons I do this, and most of it comes down to not trusting Youtube to keep content available consistently for the various reasons others have listed.

There is an added benefit. I have one channel I follow that does a LOT of q&a type videos from the audience. Because I download the subtitles as well, I can throw those into a database with the video titles and make a searchable database if I want to see what the host has said about a particular topic. I don't have to rely on my memory or go hunting. I can just query my database and know exactly which video/timestamp has the topic I'm looking for.
> But weirdly enough, that's not happening.

That has become the defining feature of this conflict. Russian callousness mixed with Ukrainian chutzpah makes this war unique.

Let’s not forget that this uniqueness means more pain and death for the civilian population of Ukraine. Russia’s incompetence is killing Russian soldiers and Ukrainian civilians, since it seems they moved on to attacking them.
Not if the errors are rare and the "tooling" slows down development.
Investopedia is using just one type of inflation there.

The truth is, money printing and/or government spending beyond tax revenue is the source of inflation. Every loan a bank makes in fractional reserve systems will be inflationary, and every time money is printed for the government it will be inflationary. Due to the cartel structure of banking in the modern world, the inflation will first hit things like stocks, bonds, land, and other asset classes. It takes time for that inflation to leak into all other things, but it does. As businesses expand, as people move, they are then forced to pay these higher prices, and this drives up the price of goods produced and bought.

I liked DDG because it respected the user. Limiting what I can see in order to make sure I don't see "Russian disinformation" seems to me like the exact opposite of respecting the user. Will be uninstalling soon if this intensifies.
Agreed. Also a Rubyist that has worked on some fairly large Python codebases and aside from your points (builtins vs object dispatch) I've found certain forms of list comprehension and moreso, decorator abuse, to be some of the most difficult things to deal with at times and as easily on the level as any magic I've encountered in Ruby.

This is just an iteration of the same overreaction that has been occurring since the days of splicing audio tape together.

Within the past few weeks, what with the JWST coming online and more radioastronomy happening than ever, and also economic inflation coming into the news for the first time in a while, this is unfortunately not the first time I've had to play "spacetime or finance?" with an inflation headline recently.
