Growing up in a village in India, we only ever bought raw milk because there was no packaged milk available. Everyone had a deal with a local farmer. Every morning or evening, we would walk over to the farmer's house, pick up our milk and bring it home. My family in India (and the whole village) still does that.

And this is where the similarity ends.

The first thing my mom (and everyone else) did is to boil the milk to pasteurize it. Once boiled, it is allowed to cool down till a layer of fat forms on top. That is removed to make butter and ghee out of. Milk is then used and refrigerated.

No one ever drank (or drinks) raw milk - not the farmers, not their workers, not the buyers. It boggles my mind that people are willing to take the risk by drinking raw milk.

This is specifically for an annual screening of women 40-49yrs. The reason why this article was written is because there is a scientific debate about whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in this age group. I don't think this article really settles this discussion. When you look at the CI you'll see it's rather big and the upper bound is only slightly below 1.

But this is about screening of rather young women. Most established screening programs start at an age of 50. Still young. :-)
I first thought “oh great more GMOs to maximize corporate profits while making animals miserable. Then my hopes rose with this:

So they’ve found a way to have happy cows that burp less methane?

No? Shorter hair so their methane burb greenhouse doesn’t feel so hot? Oh. This probably just boils down to profits after all.
I use Thrive ready made fresh meals (thrivemeals.com.au), I get one for lunch and one for dinner for 6 days a week delivered weekly.

It costs me about $13AUD / meal - so I could live off $26 a day, but I general have a banana / apple (70c) and a small handful of nuts (maybe $1-$2).

So for 6 out of 7 days of the week it costs me about $174/AUD.

I will try, generally if you have good diaries keeping their cow healthy happy and clean it is non issue, but interests of corporate mega producers they can't guarantee such thing at scale. So to protect them and people from them these laws are made kind of impossible triangle.

You can't do raw milk at scale - so no one will be allowed to. Raw milk yogurt and cottage cheese is out of this world my mom(Russian) and friends in Lithuania with a farm make this as well at the farm and the difference is night and day. you really should try full fat raw milk cottage cheese with honey and walnuts.
You shouldn’t use pm2 in software containers. That makes things more complex and not standard.
I have ksh scripts I wrote over 20 years ago on xenix, which still work today on bash or ksh. Meanwhile I have python apps that didn't make it a year.

Any particular version of Python is a saner choice, if you could pick one and freeze it retroactively for the last 20 years and for at least the next 20. But that is not how Python works. Python breaks every 11 minutes.

I would not write anything in Python that I cared the slightest bit about longevity or portability.

Maybe if we made a subset of python, locked down the syntax and feature set, discouraged any use of plugins or libraries in any fancy way that relies on any kind of repository or package manager system, and gave it a new name to distinguish it from normal python, maybe that would be an ok replacement for any of the shells.

But that is not happeing and don't even try to pretend like it could.
> average consumer will be as disgusted and turned off by the idea of eating genetically modfied meat as I am.

And yet people seem to be interested in lab-produced meat alternatives that use synthetic blood-like formula to make it taste like actual meat?
Not that person, but...

In Germany, eating Mettbrötchen is rather popular in certain regions, and somewhat popular in the rest. As far as I know, that also applies to some neighboring nations.

A Mettbrötchen is basically minced raw pork with some salt, pepper and other spices, with onions on top or worked inside the meat. You put that on a baked roll (or sometimes other bread). There is also Mettwurst (sausage), although that's often at least smoked. Rarely the mett you'd eat raw is a mix of raw pork and raw beef. Mett may only be sold on the same day it was prepared, but it's rather popular so you will find it in basically every supermarket (especially the ones with in-house butchers), or you can buy ready to eat Mettbrötchen/Mettbrote (rolls/bread) in basically every full service bakery and some self-service ones.

I am not really fond of that to the point I would prepare that for myself, but have occasionally indulged when offered.

Bonus picture: Mettigel (mett hedgehog), which is for various popculture reasons a popular way to decorate the mett (before you put some of it on a roll/bread)

> This dynamic works because unlike pre industrial malthusian times, cities do not rely on birthrates for population growth.

The same was true in pre-industrial times too. The cities have always been population sinks, and failed to reproduce naturally. They have always been supplied by the constant stream of people from countryside.
I once tried to understand the Haida Gwaii writing system. I learned that Finnish/German "ä"-sound was written as "aa" and double "aa"- sound was written as "a'a" and quite normal-sounding consonants were frequently decorated with 'x and 'z to indicate some minute difference from English. Madness.

You can't compare raw milk to (properly produced) raw milk cheese.

For cheese fermentation, you inoculate non-pathogenic (and even beneficial) bacterial strains in the milk that overgrow and outcompete pathogenic bacteria. That's actually the reason why cheese (and yogurt for that matter) exists at all, it's an invention that allowed longer storage of milk.

Same for other types of fermentation, such as sausages, kimchi, beer...
So many gotchas like this in dockerfiles. I think the issue stems from it being such a leaky abstraction. To use it correctly you need to know how docker works internally inside and out, as well as Linux inside and out.

The default choices are baffling in docker, it really is a worse-is-better kind of tool.

Has anyone worked on a replacement for dockerfiles? I know buildah is an alternative to docker build, but it just uses the same file format

One would think so, but it turns out, not really — the big concern in sushi fish is usually parasitic worms (like anisakiasis), which are live multicellular organisms that don’t survive freezing.

In chicken, beef, and pork, the concern is typically bacteria (like salmonella, and e. coli) or parasite cysts (like trichinosis), which are not killed by freezing.

DVD subtitles were worse than crummy. The highlights for the buttons used the same image formatting. The DVD could only use 4 colors in the sub/highlight. To make subtitle text legible, the black text on white background was posterized to 4 levels. Each of the posterized level was replaced in the authoring software so that each level was replaced with the corresponding transparency levels (100,66,33,0). It was janky as it sounds, but it looked so much better on low resoution TVs of the day. Once better HD screens came out, the crappiness was more noticeable.
Over the past decade I've been drifting towards doing more and more in bash that I'd've normally done one one language or another just because of this stability. Perl is another candidate if I need something more complicated, but I'm not as familiar with it so I don't really reach for it often.

Are there any other languages with the same stability that would also fill this niche?
It must be some weird blindness to the privilege of living in a mostly well organized and safe society.

Perhaps I'll have to test it out at larger data sizes. The performance document makes it sound like this is here-there-be-dragons territory. I'd love to see how the database holds up at 100GB. Rqlite is a great project and I'm glad it exists!

A maths teacher once told me that if I'm struggling to work through a logical problem in my head, I should look at the extreme numbers, because that often gives a clearer picture of what's happening. This has helped me a lot, and is how I would approach this:

Let's say we've got a test that:

* If you've got cancer, detects it 100% of the time (to make the maths easy)
* If you haven't got cancer, gives you a (true) negative 99% of the time, and a (false) positive 1% of the time.

For starters, consider a population of 100 people, all of whom have cancer. Our magical test always finds these cases, so we have an 100% positive rate, and a 0% false positive rate. (None of these can be false positives because we know they all really do have cancer.)

Now consider a group of 200 people, 50% of whom have cancer, and 50% of whom don't. The group who have cancer will still all get detected, but if the 100 people who don't have cancer, one of them will be marked as having cancer even though they don't. In total, that's 101 people who will get a positive result. So our overall positivity rate is 101/200 (~50%), but our false positivity rate is the number of false positives divided by the number of all positives, so 1/101 (~1%)

Now consider the case where we have 101 people, of whom only one has cancer. If we run our test a third time, we of course detect the person with cancer, but of the remaining 100 who don't have cancer, we will detect a second person. That's two positive cases in 101 people, so our positivity rate is ~2%. However, of those two positive cases we know only one really has cancer - the false positivity rate is 1/2, or 50%.

So that's three situations where the only thing we've varied is the proportion of the population who have the condition we're scanning for. (Technically we also changed how big the population was in the first place but that was just to make the maths easier - it doesn't affect the results at all.) However, we get a different rate of false positives in every test, because the number of false positives is dependent on the ratio between the number of people with cancer and the number of people without.

It's also worth noting that this obviously doesn't just apply to cancer, but also other situations. Most relevant to us in the last couple of years is probably Covid tests - you might have seen over the summers some scepticism about how valuable it is to do lots and lots of tests, and that's because during those times, the number of affected people was lower, and so these tests were more likely to produce less useful results. However, in winter, even relatively poor tests become more useful, because there are more true positives, and therefore a lower rate of false positives.

In Soviet Russia, you HAD to repair it yourself! Mandatory! The factory never wanted to see your face again, so the manual was also very much blueprint, schematics and machining instructions for the repairs. It was higher quality than is available today, actually, and Belorussia still has a tractor factory. And they weren't the greatest efficiency but really great effectiveness: they did get the job done. And they worked for ever, just don't quit. Cubans remark the Soviet air conditioners and appliances don't crap out, period.

Maybe the efficiency of American tractors is suited to their tests, I think it is, and the tests are always on a perfectly configured tractor on good terrain without counting the time and effort and error recovery of configuring it.

In general the big scam of computerization is that it saves time, it mostly doesn't, doctors and policemen end up spending much more time on digital forms than on paper. Farmers can't be that different.

>To say "you're holding it wrong" is just folly. Bash is worthy of the same treatment that "A Fractal of Bad Design" gave PHP, and it has no place in anything that wants to call itself engineering.

If you have a problem that involves "run a command with a list of parameters but not if the list is empty" and you don't immediately think of `xargs -r`, then consider that it's because you don't understand the tools, not because the tools are bad.
Except in your concert example, the number of tickets is not verifiably public with a centralised entity. There is nothing that stops the organizer from printing more tickets than there exists capacity for. On the flip side, a NFT ticket can be demonstratably unique (no counterfeiting or luck of the draw from scalpers), and only a certain number can be printed (otherwise everyone will know that the organizer is not acting legitimately).

As digital entities, a door is also opened for various interactive / programatic ways of using said tickets that are not possible with a private database and lack of incentive to improve the status quo (Most of the established incumbents have had years to improve, but don't until threatened by an emerging technology).

Another example off the top of my head:

* An anti-scalper lottery where a portion of the tickets are reserved for accounts that have owned a previous ticket for an event in the last twelve months during the run-time of said event. Let's say 80% of the ticket pool, and the remaining 20% is the free-for-all and any unsold tickets are sold free-for-all as well for the last week before the event starts.
I think it's a modern western cultural thing that everything that's more 'natural', 'untreated', 'non-GMO'... is automatically considered more healthy, see also antivaxxers etc.

Because most of the popular series are already tied up in exclusive licensing agreements with someone else, and if you want the publisher to reconsider the exclusive agreement with your competitor when it comes time to renew the license, then you have to have a lot of power to overcome the relationship between the licensor and licensee, especially in Japan.
Licensing does cost the producers (once again, especially in Japan) when they are not super organized, and have to source the materials for delivery, and dedicate manpower to checking the contracts.

It's true. There is a balance to be struck between living the moment, and capturing it. The former is much more important in my book. After all, the purpose of a vacation is to get rest, and experience new things.

It might also be worth noting that there are different kinds of photography. On vacation, I mostly practice "documentary" photography, that happens in the moment, without disrupting things.

For me, photography is also a way to enhance my appreciation of a moment. It forces me to be present and reactive, in a way I tend not to be otherwise. But I recon that this might be very different for other people.

It's up to us to make them less corrupt and to do things for humanity - there's nobody else who does anything; no alien cavalry is coming; it's just us.
Fire all your operations people first. The developers can do all their own DevOps. That saves at least half the budget.

Then fire all your QA people, because they just keep getting in the way, and the developers can do all of their own QA anyway.

Then don't be surprised when they fire all the developers because they've got this new "no code" thing. But then who is left to implement the "no code"?

Where does the idea come from that countries with more bribery are more humanitarian? Usually, corruption extends to morality, IMHO, and brutal dictatorships tend to be the most corrupt.

My point is that for small scale for my uses the differences between these databases are mostly academic. I am fully confident in my ability to model data around their various constraints and get them to do pretty much anything. I also understand why their HA functions differently. To be clear, there are projects that, governance/development community aside, hit all the right spots technology-wise for what what I'm looking for. These projects just seem to have far less healthy communities to me than others and I'm curious why that seems to be the case.

That's what Python2.7 is and why every major proprietary product won't adopt anything else. It's also why it won't go away.

Sounds like Hawkins struggled with addiction to opiates. It seems plausible that this event you refer to could be related to things like overdose or withdrawal. And his death too - overdose or some result of drug abuse taking its toll on critical organs.

Cancer usually doesn't go away just like that. There is a chance in situ tumours or benigne tumours "go away" and there is some discussion about what you should do with this type of tumour. Not every tumour is cancer.

Anyway, even with cancer you can of course bet on dying of another cause before the cancer gets you and thus ignore medical therapy. Some people win this bet ... somehow.
