There is a massive difference. With that kind of mushroom one can expect that any random pair is very likely to match up. With humans you have tad less of 50% chance of being able to make kids with any random otherwise fertile human.

Irrespective of safety, plastic fares poorly for me for taste reasons. Most soaps and detergents contain fragrances that seem to persistently bind to plastic food containers. The exception are soap products like Seventh Generation, which seem to contain less harsh/”natural” fragrances, which don’t seem to be as persistent. As it is, most foods stored in most plastic containers washed by most
soaps taste like soap to me. For this reason alone, I avoid plastic where possible.

> As a result, the inflation rate each person experiences is very personalized. It's hard to agree on what "the inflation rate" is, because it depends on what you need to buy. If you drive a lot, fuel inflation will impact you more. If you're vegetarian, meat inflation isn't going to hit your pocket book.

Investopedia defines inflation as "the decline of purchasing power of a given currency over time". [0]

Prices diverging is not inflation. It's reallocation of value in response to a changing world and changing perspectives.

I can't help but think that this complex system has to have evolved to very precisely control inbreeding rates.
Since James Clear's blog is getting shared because it's old (2012), I will share the OG post that kicked off the intermittent fasting trend: Leangains (2010).

Leangains didn't invent IF, but it did inspire more people in the last decade than anything else, including James Clear (it's the first reference he cites in this article).

It might not be weird, but I have to recommend Intermittent Fasting. I was able to drop ~20lbs in roughly 6 weeks and the only change I made was a 16:8 intermittent fasting schedule.

Depending on your relationship with food, it does have _some_ learning curve (learning to not eat most of the day), but it works like magic.

Once your used to your IF schedule, you’ll feel sharper (hungry brain is really powerful in my experience), your skin will be clearer, you’ll have more energy, and it’s a very realistic lifestyle change that in my experience is different than a traditional diet.

I’d highly recommend it.
That's what https://musicforprogramming.net/ is for
The title is indeed ambiguous. It could just as well refer to sound-coding systems/languages like Sonic Pi, or to what you imagined. (Which would be an oddly specific kind of music, but cool! The operation of a compiler turned into music, somehow?)

That said, I am not disappointed. But then I am also the one who posted this link in the first place. I started using Lilypond last year for transcribing the melody voices from complex sheet music and automatically transposing them into different keys when needed (which is immensely useful). Just recently I discovered that it can also generate MIDI output, so in addition to having a convenient tool to get beautiful sheet music in whatever key I need, I can now easily have my computer play the melodies and memorise them by listening (which for me, on my current instrument, is much easier than playing from notes directly).
Languages are easy. Fuck the build tooling though; that's where all of the suck comes in these days.

The way that every programming language has decided it needs to reimplement make, badly, several different times, is one of the worst things about programming.
This is not "weird" but may be weird to some. I'm going to let you in on the most obvious way which is used by MOST animals, as low as arthropods to lose weight... and that is "not eating" a.k.a. fasting.

Other animals do it out of real scarcity during various times. We have evolved for scarcity, so we store fat for when food is not available. (Un)fortunately, there has been no food scarcity most people in developed nations for decades on end, even centuries... hence the obesity problem.

The lack of food scarcity for longer times has happened before in various cultures in various parts of the world. Therefore, all of them had introduced ritualistic fasting into their culture. The current western culture (which is also prevalent in most of the westernized world) is based on selling, so they have only ever sold eating something else to lose weight... which is not the real solution. Lately, selling apps, books and other content at scale became profitable so we have seen some rise in fasting but it is still drowned out by other highly profitable non solutions... like pointless physical labor (a.k.a. "working out" or "exercise") or complicated and mostly pointless dietary restrictions (a.k.a. "diets").

I can point to some resources to get you started with fasting:

You mean a situation where the motivation to change is never great enough to actually make a person do something? I wonder what the difference is, I was probably just lucky to realize what the key to change my habits was before I was too far gone.
You seem to imply that a founder is somehow different from any other employee in a company that holds shares. Founders (and others) ARE treated differently if it's written into a contract.

Think about the common bay area tech compensation: employees get stock options and grants. Think of this as a stock grant: why would you be forced to sell because you decide to leave the company?
In MAGMA, a computer algebra programming language, there is a “exists” statement which takes a comprehension and evaluates to true if any item is true, something like exists{x % 2 == 0 for x in numbers}. But it also has an extra parameter which can bind the value of the first item satisfying the condition, something like

If exists(y){x : x % 2 == 0 for x in numbers}:
Print y

There is also a “for all” statement which can return the first offender which does not satisfy the condition.

It’s an awkward but incredibly useful language choice - it would be interesting to see it explored more in mainstream languages.
I struggled with weight for decades but this last year I've lost 60+ pounds, and I will lose more. All the weird tips in the world won't help IMO. I used an app that worked for me finally. It worked because I was able to get the education, and mindset / motivation I needed. Little tips and tricks won't work, you need a comprehensive solution that works for you. I'm not shilling for some company, this was the only thing that has worked consistently for me after decades of trying. Anyway, at the risk of sounding like an advert which this is not, it was noom. It takes a lot of work and persistence but having the reasons and knowledge to make it all come together and be consistent is what is key.
You mean like "Do Not Track"?

There is a misconception, they don't want it do be convenient, the all purpose is to as annoying as possible and legal, to force you to use the easy allow-all-path.
So even if there is an API they won't use it. They don't want to give you a choice, they want that you to allows all access.
Meta-commentary:

Most comments here are "It's so easy! Just do <thing that worked for the commenter>. It takes so LITTLE!"

If we know anything about dieting, it's that "what works" is vastly different for different people. I'm not talking about thermodynamics, but psychology. For someone, eating once a day is easier than lifting weights, for someone else it's completely different.

Different people are different.
Something really weird: Start wearing those t-shirts that don't fit you anymore and stick close to your body instead of bigger t-shirts. This will make you cognizant of the extra weight and help you eat healthier/workout.
> I've heard multiple Americans say that "inflation is good for workers because it erodes debts", but they forget that wages are generally the last thing to adjust.

This seems to completely ignore bargaining power and what the corresponding state of the labour market is when inflation is about: Typically it's a tight labour market that's really good for wages, particularly low-end wages! I really like Devon's writing usually but I think this one isn't telling the whole story.
I just bought an Apple Watch, and over the last few weeks I have started to work out a lot more, that's probably because the watch keeps reminding me to close my move & exercise rings lol

> The threat of execution is even effective than prison, shouldn't we 'spring for' that instead?

That would also be an effective deterrent, more so than prison alone probably. Torture would be even better, especially torture of family, friends, and pets.

> My view is that the extreme sentences provided for in legislation are causing many non-guilty people to plead to lesser offenses, which is a real problem. I also think that we shouldn't be crowding jails and prisons with people who have committed civil offenses.

Everything has pros and cons. How many innocent people will plead to a lesser crime vs how much will crime be reduced by the threat of prison?

In lieu of a study to answer that, we have to rely on our experiences dealing with people. You seem to believe a criminal will be deterred by fines, but I disagree.

This isn’t the type of opinion that can be changed by arguing over the internet.

Carbs give you a sugar rush and then everything in the body goes into processing them, slowing everything else down.

You can easily test it, eat something like a subway sandwich. Record how you feel. Now take the exact same sub, but as a salad (no bun). You'll feel markedly different.

This all, of course, depends on a ton of individual factors like insulin resistance etc.
If you're overweight and unable to lose anything try bariatric surgery. Our food culture is not built to allow overweight people to survive and at this point the ONLY way to do it without massive willpower and endless failure is a surgical solution. Saying "Eat less" isn't an answer any more effective than telling an alcoholic to "Drink less."

This is so pointless; every time I try to get a concrete example out of you, you pivot. First you dislike BLM but don't give a reason, then you dislike black girls code but then "have no problem with outreach programs", now you're vaguely hinting at affirmative action being racist because it considers race. Just figure it out yourself.

Once said that (IMHO) regulation is not a solution to poor software, something must be done.

Software (at least business tools) tend to be monetized/sold (at a high price) by corporations (that employ programmers that write these programs, and are well paid) as tools to actually do something.

When the something is not delivered (or it is not delivered correctly) there are consequences (time lost, money lost) for the customer/client that bought the tool (or subscribed to a service), as the tool is needed (or only useful) for the "main" activity of the client.

Yet - usually - neither the corporation (that gets the money from the client), nor the programmers (that get the money from the corporation) consider these cases as anything more than "oh, a bug, didn't see/foresee it".

In any other more material contract when you don't deliver the goods (or don't deliver them in time, or they are not up to the required standards/quality) you pay a penalty, and after you fail a few deliveries you are likely to go out of the market.

Somehow, in the software world, it seems like it is always a "oops, will fix next time".
Hi, maybe you've addressed this somewhere and I haven't read fully (sorry) but how does it compare to FINN from Xilinx?
> Ceramics and plastics are the worst (this includes any non-sticking coatings), because, unlike for metals and glasses, their chemical composition is usually kept secret by their manufactures, so you never know what they may leach.

Again, when you refer to ceramics, are you referring to the tons of ceramic coated cookware that is now immensely popular as a replacement for Teflon? Is this stuff just as bad? https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/cooking-tools/a26078798/bes...

Not to be gross here but I think a lot of this is lost in conversation because people shy away from the particulars. Vaginal and oral sex are rather ineffective at spreading HIV. There has been a rise in recent decades of HIV in African American women in particular, however it is known that this is due to an increase in that population of unprotected anal sex with a larger number of partners than previously. If they did this simply because they hate gay people why did they not include lesbian women?

I'd say a better policy would be excluding those who engage in nonmonogamous anal sex more generally, however I don't think the public has an appetite for that discussion.
Who is this mythical "they" you talk about?
Eat fewer calories. Exercise has been shown to be not the main factor in weight loss. But do exercise as well as it will give positive reinforcement, especially mentally.

There are probably so many more parameters, both important on an individual level and commonly, that we do not know about yet.
> Any weird tips for weight loss?

Get yourself a bicycle, take two weeks holiday and ride from A to B where A and B need to be >2000km apart. You can eat as much as you want and you will loose weight.

Don't focus in training, focus on eating less.

Realize 1 burger is enough, you don't need the fries.

Stop eating bread.

And if you are hardcore, skip pasta,rice,potatoes (Carbohydrates).

It is a stupid question. You are comparing the nominal value of an individual donation vs. a country. As my original comment stated, if you compare country to country, its the least amount they can give. The fact you can't understand scale isn't my problem. And perhaps develop some critical thinking skills instead of telling others to buy a mirror.

Here's the definition for you (just in case): Critical thinking is the analysis of available facts, evidence, observations, and arguments to form a judgment.

What you are effective saying is that I should keep my mouth shut because any help they can get we should be grateful. Despite the fact, their government knew of this attack even before and support the attack on Ukraine by actively spreading Russian propaganda saying the Ukrainians deserve it.

As for saying I can't judge the motivations of the Chinese government until I donate as much as them is just.. ¯\(°_o)/¯ ?! What kind of logic is that? Pay-to-judge? What (https://i.imgur.com/lB5wmMp.png)?! Oh man.. This is truly the first head scratcher I have ever encountered here.
The question is, how do you quantitatively define "purchasing power" when prices are diverging? Is it the number of cheeseburgers you can buy? The number of TVs? The number of houses? If you take some average, the average of which set, and why?
This is the right answer.

There is consensus and it's don't test private methods.

Testing private method destroys your coverage data. It effectively makes it a meaningless metric. Coverage isn't just there to show that you tested "everything"... It's there to show that things are actually used in the code and that code isn't dead.

Testing private method proves a private method works. But that's not something anyone should care about. It goes against encapsulation and just makes flaky tests that are a nightmare to maintain/refactor.
Can someone productize this as a service please ?
Absolutely. Look at intraday electricity prices, and you see that the energy is cheapest when the sun is shining.

Problem is, if you use it for cooling, it's strictly better to use the electricity directly (chances are the sun is shining when it's hot).

And if you use it for heating (at least from day to night), the round-trip efficiency is probably still better for batteries, or electric heating + hot water storage, because you can use heat pumps which are say, 5x more efficient than burning fuel.
The distinction you're trying to draw between glass and ceramics doesn't exist, ceramics are generally glazed, which means "covered in a coating of glass".

Enameled pans aren't going to leach anything if you buy them from any reputable manufacturer (which is at least all of the European, American, and Japanese ones) because any colorants added to the glaze will be rated as food safe. In fact, you mentioned titanium: that's what's used to make the inside of white enameled pots look white.

Enameled cast iron (or enameled anything) is a fine choice, it comes with its own limitations culinarily (and advantages) but it isn't going leach anything into your food.

I lost about 150lbs since my heaviest weight, which was about half. The pandemic has caused enough stress and lack of activity that I put a between 40 and 50 of that back on before I got control of it again and started working back toward a more ideal weight, and I'm currently about 20 away still. I say this for credibility of what I'm about to tell you, so that you'll understand this isn't coming from someone who had to lose 10 or 15lbs and did it by cutting out soda or something.

We want a trick because losing weight is hard. Our bodies fight us because they are stupid, and our society fights us because it encourages hedonism. But short of a few dangerous and largely illegal medications, there isn't any trick, you just have to embrace the suck.

You're right that most of the weight you lose leaves your body in the form of CO2, but the best way to exhale more CO2 is through aerobic exercise. I was at my lowest weight when I was running regularly, then I developed a knee issue that forced me to stop. Of course, if you don't control your caloric intake it's likely you'll just eat enough to replenish whatever you burned anyway. Our bodies are really stingy about calories and our brains are really good at rationalizing reasons to eat more when we're running a deficit.

Don't get me wrong, I would love if you could find some hack like you propose that would make this easier, but a decade of riding this rollercoaster leads me to believe you won't.

If you want to get serious about losing weight (and I'm not saying you have to!): start by calculating the sedentary BMR for your ideal weight, then institute a strict daily calorie restriction[0] regime where you never go above that number. Even if you do no exercise and sleep a lot you'll still eventually get there, but exercise will help in a few ways. For one, you might find a form of exercise that's actually fun and you'll want to improve at it, which will further motivate you to follow the calorie restriction, in general you'll have less time to sit staring at a screen getting bored and feeling the munchies, and obviously you'll burn extra calories.

[0] Seriously it doesn't even matter that much what you eat as long as you can hit the target number. A nutritionist did an experiment where he ate nothing but convenience store junk food and all his health metrics improved including losing (IIRC) 30lbs. That said, certain foods will make it much easier to avoid overeating than others. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out which ones.
Indeed. That would be really awesome.
My rant was that we're incredibly far form "doing the best we can" with out environment, 30% is an insanely high amount of things left undone that we could do. Even 10% of that, 3% is a criminal improvement not to aim for. We're unimaginably incredibly sloppy and ineffective at managing what matters most of our environment and paying insane prices for it and that's what angers me...
This is ageism which assumes that the elderly are in constant misery and would rather be, or be better off, dead.

You’re wrong. When you are older you will realize that life is worth living at every age, and you will hope the young don’t treat you too badly in their ignorance.
