Even if you logged in, click 'read more' now only show you 3~10 more reply and yet another 'read more' button. This really drive me insane. I often encounter tweets with 200+ reply and you ask me to click 'read more' 20 times in order to read all reply? What's wrong with you?

So I ended wrote a script that click the 'Read more' automatically as soon as it showed up.
I wish people would stop seeing blocks as different.

Lambda and proc in Ruby both produce instances of Proc.

That blocks are not Proc to instances in MRI until you name them is an optimization only, and nothing stops an implementation from making blocks Proc instances (indeed my woefully incomplete Ruby compiler does that).

I agree with you that block syntax means you're less likely to need to explicitly pass lambda/procs around, but part of the reason people get confused about this is seeing blocks as something more different than they are.
I tried the demo but I didn’t find the meal planner. I mean let say I want to plan the meal for a month by choosing available recipe for each family member.
Is it on the plan?
On balance, I've found PostgreSQL lack of hints to be a good thing.

I can recall a single genuine case where the planner could not make a good plan, and 1000 where a colleague would have created some unmaintainable time bomb; instead they were driven to understand an actual underlying issue that resulted in a more accurate expression of the query.

That one case, as the author says, is PostgreSQL statistics are per-table and do not understand correlation in the data.

How different would the implementation be for the hints to express these correlations instead?

Instead of reducing the number of meals, you can just cut your portions in half.
If you're also not happy with your teeth then you could get invisalign, which are clear aligners (retainers) that slide over your teeth and that you have to remove in order to eat or drink anything other than water. You have to wear the aligners for 22 hours each day so you can't snack throughout the day as many people do. I lost 25 pounds in my first three months on invisalign. It's possible to gain the weight back as you learn to adapt :) but it's a useful lesson in how to eat less.
You understand perfectly.

OP does not bother to explain what type of server or service they want to run, so this becomes a more difficult question to provide advice for.

Even if it's just a web server they don't say who the audience is or what technologies they will use to run the website.

e.g. - WordPress would be more difficult to secure than static content.

There are many details left out which leaves room for only generic answers.
I've done this before switching from bulking season, to leaning season. I found the hardest part being stomach growling. I'd be talking to people and my stomach would start complaining to everyone. I've been told to drink a glass of water when the happens but I didn't find it helped a bunch.

I usually went for a light plain peanut butter sandwich once a day at very "tactical" times to cut the growling. Yes peanut butter is calorie heavy but just keep it light. The fat/protein/carbs in peanut butter is pretty hard to beat, in moderation it's really good for you.

This does go away after a while, but this was an issue for the first while.

I'm also in agreement that cessation of alcohol and smoking are much more reasonable requirements for placement on the list than other dietary patterns that are highly individual regarding effects on overall health.
Eating only once a day is very bad advice.

If you make a regular meal, one meal a day nets a negative of 1300/1500 calories per day, which will cause considerable muscle tissue loss (note how the parent writes "losing weight", not "losing fat", but also "yes, I have significant fat even at 150lb and 5'10"), besides having no energy.

If you make instead a massive mels, you're going to give a massive glucose shot to your body. I haven't gone to such extreme, but the times when I happened to do something similar (one huge meal, even with an overall negative daily intake), I ended up accumulating fat rather than losing it. I suppose that in a calorie deficit context (=dieting), the body takes advantage of a huge meal to build some deposits up (and unfortunately, deposits are everything except muscles...).

Dieting's hard, there are no cheap tricks, unfortunately.
So...

There are a bunch of loosely connected elements here. The primary one, IMO, is the "anyone can be a dev" ethos.

A lot of this ethos is historical. Programming does not have long decades or centuries of history, like civil engineering, medicine or whatnot. In fact, programming was (relatively) recently something that users were expected to do. "Buy computer, program it." was the model into the 90s.

Related is the fact that programming moves fast. Building techniques change, but much slower than software. Most civil architects work all their life building similar constructions with similar materials. That lends to a lot more formalism.

Idk... I'll grant that there are a lot of downsides to openness. There are upsides too though.

On balance, I feel that software's rare status as a "free profession" in anachronistic terms, is good.

Also, I think that expansionary economics plays a role. There's more software work every day. Software developers aren't under the same economic pressure as other professions. Lawyers would be hurt financially if accreditations and qualifications were taken out of law.

It's hard to know what a world with licence to code looks like. Maybe we have a lot less software, but it's more secure. Maybe we know a lot less about the software we have.

Finally, I consider the importance of OSS, FOSS and volunteer made software a strength, not a weakness. That's a whole other thread though.
It's not bad advice. Or, rather, get an ADHD diagnosis if you need one, and then get treatment.

The irony being that it's software that's allowed the massive
expansion of bullshitisation and the transformation of society into
performative simulation of human life.

(this isn't an objection/rant to your post, it's just an opportune
point to reply on how this relates to software quality)

There are people in the world that create things. Then there are
people in the world that take those things, and figure out how to make
money. Then they seek to direct those who create.

They take software and turn it to inappropriate ends, misuse it, abuse
it, make it a panacea, a weapon, then a crutch. They build whole
cities and societies around things they neither understand nor
appreciate the origins of.

And we let them.

We build doll houses. They rent them out to a real family.

It isn't that software cannot be engineering, but to make it so we'd
have to change a whole stack of human relations and the world doesn't
seem ready for that.

I studied software engineering at the end of my CSEE degree and in 30
years, in all but a few medical/military applications where ISO
documents properly govern _what_ is used, and _how_ it's used (not who
makes it) I've been laughed at for even suggesting the principles I
learned in software engineering.

Software is still an experimental rocket burning fuel as fast it can
to achieve escape velocity.

There is not enough space in a short post to express how ridiculously
I think the "software industry" is structured, but the solution is not
regulation, which will make almost everything worse and kill
innovation stone-dead.

The solution lies with us. When programmers have ethics and courage,
enough to say "no", it will make a vast difference.

Yes surely most workers the medical industry, most service workers, home health aids, school teachers, retail professionals, etc etc etc would be astonished and disappointed by the degree to which software engineering is trivialized in our society and professional landscape.

If you’re wondering why people think software developers are seen as out of touch children, I don’t think professional licensure is high on the list tbh.
And looking for AI/ML specialists, and data scientists, with PhDs. How about that.
Really neat! Thanks for these.

Can you tell me how to generally go about making these converters?

Going back even further, I'd argue Gottfried Leibnitz was one of the first to grasp the fundamental problems of building a computer.
Pointless blog post which generalizes from an extreme case (Boeing) to draw hyperbolic conclusions.

Let’s start with the three major fallacies

1. Software Engineer is a monolithic profession. There are a great many specializations.

2. Software Engineering is comparable to trades and other engineer professions. Classical professions have existed for millennia, and are built on a foundation of failures through anti-fragility. We understand really well how to build houses and bridges. Software is a nascent profession.

3. Societal problems can be solved by software engineers. This is a problem of law and consequences. The Babylionians had a great thing with Hammurabi’s Code. When data protection laws will severely punish personal data leaks, then banks and other financial firms will take great expense to prevent them.
I'm not convinced. As long as someone is capable of inventing a new programming language, new libraries, or a new computer paradigm, there will always be a Wild West. If computers operated on the logic of "what's popular today will stay popular tomorrow", COBOL and Ada would be where C and Python are today.

Buttoned-down OSs existed in the form of mainframes and minicomputers up to the 90s (I'm sure you know what happened to those). Government and corporate standardization often fails more than it succeeds (e.g. respectively, OSI and CORBA), and will eventually follow the trends of the commercial market anyways. Until governments start inventing their own operating systems with 60 years of code and multiple versions of multiple programming languages and standards to reimplement, I wouldn't be so worried.

Right now, state governments and federal agencies are panicking to find COBOL practitioners. That should tell you how even respectable stations can become ghost towns.
The behaviour of not always using the same exit means that you, over time, will almost assuredly use a malicious exit should more than zero exist. It's reckless to suggest that anybody should be using this system, your situation is almost always going to be worse than not.
Even if every exit node in the US is operated by private people or organizations, courts can compel the node owners to work with the government and not talk about it.
They would be in no worse position they are now, the difference is that third party app developers could make money on their platform. For Elementary, it would mean the same or more cash. Likely more.

I don't think it's apparent how little money ElementaryOS needs to thrive as a SAAS style business. They only need a few thousand sales a month through the app store to make a HUGE difference to their bottom line.

There has been nothing official no. marcan42 is the only named source who ever confirmed it I believe.
I don't know if that's the case with intel, but I've extensively tested my own 5900X on both a £250 X570 motherboard and on a £40 B450 motherboard(with the same ram) and there was literally no difference whatsoever. No benchmark has shown any difference. You lose things like PCIe 4.0 connectivity in that scenario, but the CPU performance was identical.

edit: just wanted to add - yes the VRM section on the £250 mobo is vastly superior so I imagine overclocking isn't even a contest at all. But in stock form the 5900X performed equally well on both.
American healthcare is already such a closed market with horribly inefficient, protectionist regulations that literally squeeze the breath out of American industries and consumers. Any proposal that could increase costs for marginal benefit should be considered dead on arrival.

Soups have worked better for me than water. The right soups can be very low calorie for volume and filling.
Heck, if you have ADHD, in my experience you don't even need the meds to just forget to eat.
When you check e.g. building code or surgical procedures there is always a reason for something. E.g. use nails not screws because screws are brittle. Wash hands before surgery because bacteria on your hands might kill your patient. But all of this needed to be proven at some point. With software, best practices often end up being "I would do it differently, hence it's a code smell". In this way developers are less like serious engineers and more like simple craftsman. They learned one way from someone (their first job, the blogger they respect etc.) and that's it, that's the correct way. That's how plumbers etc. operate.

So the first step in becoming serious is proving why one thing is important and why we should do it. I am experienced in a way, and I mostly really don't know. I've seen projects built real serious that were impossible to change and duct taped things that were a breeze. So it's not what most people think.
Last week I compared RubyOnRails (RoR) and Python Django.

For rapid prototyping, I think RoR has still something to say.

I like Django but I see little use (correct me, if I am wrong) from big Startups.

I was able to setup a tiny custom status page with RoR picking a module found on the web, and starting customizing the app for my own goals.

AngularJS and React are the king on the frontend in this years, so the Django/RoR approach seems a bit "old"; nerveless on RoR guides you find a way to use RoR only as an "API" Layer, so integrating it with an Angular frontend, for instance.

And with K8s and microservices, scaling is not a big issue if you code a share-nothing stack.
Cut out sugar or all carbs and go full keto, confine eating to 8hrs/day, bump activity level, sleep well (!! very important !!), track cals and/or carbs with LoseIt.

You have to be methodical and dedicated, and most of the problem is diet and sleep.

It's a valid concern for everybody, so blood is screened for all sorts of stuff.
Seems like a potential mitigation would be to send the affected devices a small stream of packets that tell them to generate traffic for e.g. an invalid IP, local IP, or their own public IP.

Once that hits, the device would then be sending the traffic harmlessly to /dev/null for the next 14 hours and be unavailable for attacks.

Not sure about the legal and ethical implications of that.
Right but surely that just means that the same power draw also exists with intel chips, it's just located elsewhere on the board. Something has to do IO after all.

Only drink water. I know it might sound weird for some, but the amount of calories that people get into them by drinking all kind of juices, alcohol and all kind of drinks is insane. You if want to spice it up, just drink coffee (high quality, "hipster" brewing methods - you will never feel the need of sugar or milk to make it drinkable) and tea. This includes orange juice or any other kind of fresh juices. Just eat the fruits, but when drinking, stick to water. This might not be a silver bullet, but it will be an important step in weight loss.

So, my question is why isn't fasting a partial solution?

It's kind of the same idea as chemo. (Non-selective cell stress/death)

But won't cancer cells always starve first, as they don't have a way to go dormant?

Or is that a myth?
> not that actually formalizing them into a proper craftsmanship wouldn’t make sense if we actually made better best practices.

This is the start of a bureaucracy that will grind progress to a halt. Because now instead of solving problems we get to create a commission who can appoint a club that have the right to appoint the master craftsmen who will be capable enough to formalize best practices.

If you think that's hyperbole on how this stuff works, it is not.

Furthermore, why would we assume people who enjoy debating best practices know actual master craftsmen?

> The fact that said standards may not yet exist is not an argument against that, it’s an argument against the status quo in standards.

The fact that said standards have been tried, and you don't know about them is a very strong argument against them.
The fact that software has far fewer physical limitations than every other field of engineering probably has something to do with the relative speed of its development.

I would be careful with the oxygen thing. Not sure if it would work either, since if oxygen were the limiting factor you'd probably feel it.

Number one tip is this. Spend money on a real life internet personal trainer. I have one, I think of him when I'm about to eat something I shouldn't. Weird how a stranger can provide accountability.

Two, buy a Bluetooth scale with two decimal places of precision. Super easy to weigh and record each day. You can literally see the weight loss during sleep, it's a good few hundred grams a night. You can also weigh your toilet visits, haha.

Three, and this is from my coach. Eat enough. Don't try to have a mega deficit, that can only work temporarily. Have a moderate deficit and hit your macro ingredients count, a third of your calories each.
Lol, I just saw some dude trying to sell Mate cups at crazy prices. They were good cups, though...so I suppose you cheat by selling something that looks like bronze when it's really not? Just sell crap quality.
Carbon steel is the same as cast iron, just with a lower carbon content. Both are only going to leach carbon and iron directly. Arguably though, the seasoning itself is probably some kind of polymerized hydrocarbon, and so you might leach polymer into your food when cooking on a well-seasoned cookware.
There are no gimmicks. "Going on a diet" might help you lose weight for a while, but you'll gain it back after you get off the "diet". What you need to do is to change your diet, and generally to change your lifestyle.

For most people, the real challenge is motivation - why do you want to lose weight? Is it a means to an end, or is it an end in itself? For instance, if you want to lose weight so you can go backpacking (less body weight to move around means less energy spent means can go longer distances; also means joints like knees don't wear out as quickly) you can focus your goal on that, rather than saying "I'd like to lose 10 pounds." Or if you're less outdoorsy and more inclined to competitive motor sports, you can think of each pound you lose as a fraction of a second off your lap time (or quarter mile, depending on your preference).
I partly agree with you. To me, bookmark sync is essential (I didn't look into options), history sync isn't as important, and password sync is essential (Firefox is a second-class password manager on Chrome or Windows/Linux or Android, and BitWarden is a second-class password manager on the Web and not perfect on Android either).
We have no idea what scale is required for AGI. Could be brain scale, could be 100x less, could be 100x more. No clue.
Must have done like 20 or 30 of these when they came out.
Also did a lot of migrations from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 and later to SBS 2011.

It was a nightmare with everything on one Box as its had this automated type migration that migrated from say SBS 2003 to SBS 2008. So you had to migrate Exchange, Domain Controller, Sharepoint etc. all in one go. Then it keeps getting stuck and you had to restart the migration.

The technicians that worked on the SBS servers were always from the lowest cost IT Support companies that these smalls business could afford. So after a few years these server would have so many hacks and miss configuration on them it would take hours (on a Friday evening) to get Exchange and the DC in a state that would allow the migration to go through.
Seems like an interesting project would be to hack in an audio sensor to a Beats style game so that you can whack targets with a large cardboard tube and have those register as hits.
