Note that boiling is not the same as pasteurization.

Pasteurization involves heating but doesn't require boiling. You can pasteurize by heating to 73 degrees C for 25 seconds.

Boiling, in the case of milk, is heating it to its boiling point which is around 100.17 degrees C.

Boiling has a higher impact in the nutritional value of milk than pasteurization.
If groups with many longer lived members suffered a disadvantage then natural selection would favor dying earlier, but not too early. You have to think about survival of genes in groups, not just individual survival.

FWIW my guess is it just didn't matter much. Surviving to 50 was plenty enough to have offspring yet not so long you compete with you grandkids for resources or become too much of a burden. That's already much much longer than most species so if anything evolution has already optimized humans to live fairly long lives. Once that got to be "long enough" there just wasn't enough selective pressure to matter.

Are baby calves coming down with Salmonella or E Coli poisoning all the time? It seems reasonable that the risk is not in consumption, but letting the raw milk sit around for any length of time.

If anyone knows why, I would be curious to hear.
You can also use buildah commands without the whole dockerfile abstraction. As a structured alternative there's also an option to build container images from nix expressions.
In my experience docker-slim[0] is the way to go for creating minimal and secure Docker images.

I wasted a lot of time in the past trying to ship with Alpine base images and statically compiling complicated software. All the performance, compatibility, package availability headaches this brings is not worth it when docker-slim does a better job of removing OS from your images while letting you use any base image you want.

Tradeoff is that you give up image layering to some extent and it might take a while to get dead-file-elimination exactly right if your software loads a lot of files dynamically (you can instruct docker-slim to include certain paths and probe your executable during build).

If docker-slim is not your thing, “distroless” base images [1] are also pretty good. You can do your build with the same distro and then in a multi stage docker image copy the artifacts into distroless base images.

Clinical Trials to begin on two New Covid-19 Vaccines
You’re right about that, but cost is a funny thing. The x–ray photograph itself costs mere pennies, especially with a modern digital imaging system. Even x–ray film is just an incidental cost.

However, when you are getting an x–ray to diagnose a medical problem, you do want more than just the image itself. You want the person who takes the x–ray image to be practiced and able to reliably take the correct image with the correct camera settings and so on. But most importantly, you want the diagnosis to come from a highly educated doctor who knows what your insides are actually supposed to look like. Whether these two roles are handled by one person or multiple, you are monopolizing someone’s time. You can’t really expect them to take x–rays of multiple patients at the same time, or to look at two x–rays and diagnose them both simultaneously.

If it takes the imaging tech 10 minutes to set up the x–ray machine for you and make the images the doctor asked for, then you have to pay 10 minutes of that tech’s salary. If the doctor spends 20 minutes asking you questions about your injury and then 10 more minutes looking at the images and telling you that you will live, then you’re going to have to pay for half an hour of their salary. The staff at the front desk who hand out forms and answer phones get a slice. The nurses who do most of the grunt work get a cut too.

The shoe salesmen didn’t directly charge for use of the x–ray fitting machines, but they did recoup their costs out of the shoe sales. Either by increasing the price of every pair of shoes by a small amount, or just by selling additional shoes (due to the novelty factor, or because it genuinely saved time allowing them to sell more shoes in a day).

The bulk of the price of any good or service comes from paying the people.
Ugh yeah. The ability to check at runtime if a value satisfies an interface, combined with structural typing...

So now the static expressivity of the type system is compromised in the name of runtime introspection. Reminiscent of how when Java added generics, runtime introspection ended up totally blind to them due to erasure.

This seems like the result of not taking care to account for the possible future addition of generics when originally designing the language — it was always well understood that they’d be a likely later addition to the language. The ability to check if a value satisfies an interface at runtime doesn’t seem all that critical, although I could be missing something, I’m not a regular user of the language.

Hello! I re-made that Simon game with the buttons and the notes you have to keep remembering.

This is a two-fold test:

1) To make a single player game for my ACOS platform. It's basically an online solo game.

2) To prevent cheating at the leaderboard. Perhaps prevent automated cheating too? If you can do it, please show the way!

In any case, it was developed using React and Nodejs using my ACOS Simulator/Framework.

The game is open source here: https://github.com/acosgames/memorize-up

Enjoy!
Indeed. The thymus is responsible for much of our immune cell production, but it shrivels away to nothing by our elderly years.

It's unfortunate, because our responses to immune challenges - including cancer - diminish with age.

Again, none of this matters because the whole thing is ultimately centralized in the hands of the organizer. Nothing stops him from printing 100 tickets on VET, and then turning around and printing 10000 tickets normally.

> otherwise everyone will know that the organizer is not acting legitimately

Because this has clearly stopped serial rugpullers like Jake Paul. People no longer invest in the NFT projects that he shills right?

And also there is nothing wrong with overbooking, because at least a few people are going to no-show. If the organizer is not able to accommodate you, you are given a refund.

This anti scalping tech is not even related to crypto currency. It can be implemented even more easily in a normal ticketing system with KYC. The fact that people don't do it is proof that it is easily defeated. With non KYC crypto accounts, the accounts themselves could be traded, making any account based tech pointless.

Finally, most of this is so niche that I have doubts that even if all this was true, it still wouldn't result in something successful.
Well I think that is a little optimistic in the near terms. Considering there has never been a Semi-Conductor player reaching that milestone without a Fab. So Nvidia will be a first. At current P/E of 70, Semiconductor industry average is only ~30. Realistically Nvidia will need to triple their revenue at a fair P/E. I could see that in Data Center, reaching $30B revenue per year within next ~5 years. And this is already larger than Intel's DataCenter record revenue. We are still $30B short coming from Gaming and Professional Visualisation. Intel already has their GPU play ready in 2022. ( Assuming it is competitive. ). i.e Nvidia will need to find another massive market to conquer to reach that Trillion Market Cap status.
Tbh, that's just a docker quirk. There were so many ways to do this with a more reasonable implementation and yet...

> 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.

In North America, many of these laws were passed in the early part of the 1900s [1]. I don't think that were very many mega producers at the time, though I'd love to be proven wrong.

Also in my experience it's really hard to avoid contamination. My family farm works hard to keep their cows healthy, happy, and clean, and still has occasional issues with high somatic cell counts in their milk. It doesn't help that cows will (rarely) decide to release their bowels while you're milking them...

It is very different than you sending money via an intermediary bank.

I dare you to describe a method of wire transfer to Kyiv that works in that quantity and timescale and is practically usable by the recipient that quickly and cannot be blocked by your local government's policies.

There simply isn't anything close to that. People that think that this is the same as a wire via a regulated bank are ignorant of the specifics of each type of payment.

Cryptocurrency is indeed cash, and is useful the same way cash is useful.

Are you calling hacker news a science-driven forum? It was created by venture capitalists for venture capitalists and their employees.

I don’t mean this in a negative way. HN is what it is and I love it. But don’t confuse it with a scientific journal.
I agree although I my list is a lot different:

* Work with people who are more skilled and knowledgeable than you and learn why and how they do the things they do

* Focus on increasing your velocity by eliminating bottlenecks in your productivity: is it typing? text editing? navigating a codebase? familiarity with your language or tools? communication? code organization? version control practices?

* Focus on creating tight feedback loops in your work.

* read some great books, and books that contradict each other. practice what you learn from them and determine your stance on when, why, and how to apply the ideas. I recommend the whole series of the Phoenix Project books to get an understanding of the background of modern software development. Look for how these ideas are applied in the industry.

There are great blog posts / articles too, lots shared here. I don't know about TechCrunch or other business news. I'd focus on people who are writing about the craft of software engineering.

* Get to the why: really think about things deeply and critically. Why are some things broken? Why do some things work really well? What's the most important thing you can be working on? What's the right approach? What are you trying to accomplish, or to avoid?

* Overall, always strive to become better, today, this week, this month, this quarter, this year, this decade, this lifetime.

Raw milk was an issue in California in the 1990s. AltaDena Dairy wanted to sell raw milk. With enough testing, and no cheating, it can work. Usually. But the state finally mandated pasteurization.

The "all natural" crowd supported them.
All of this hits me unexpectedly - the sudden passing of a drummer I grew up listening to, and admired the (for me, then) complexity on timing and playing on songs like "monkey wrench" or "all my life" and 12-14 yo me tried to emulate playing along them with sticks on the couch - and how his energy was present on their recordings.

And the fact that this happened in my city and I learned about it on hacker news.

Fair point re: "someone has to start the project". I think Yugabyte is neat, and I want to invest in it as a platform, but I can't help but look at the project and feel like it's not set up for success should the Yugabyte the company fail. I hope I'm wrong and in 10 years it looks something like the Postgres community.

I also did eventually find the docs for building the database. It just feels odd to have a roadmap in the readme but no actual information for getting set up on development. It's one of those things (and I grant it's a very small thing) that makes me feel like the platform isn't really for the community.
It's all abstractions provided via interfaces, whether programmatic or graphical.
That's probably why. People don't generally nurse cows to drink milk, it is put into containers where they will be exposed to the elements somewhat.

Hi! This is a fun little library I wrote a few years back to make a minimal PostgreSQL client. It's around 400 lines of commented code
( https://github.com/kig/quickgres/blob/master/index.js ), so a good hobby project if you want to roll your own.

Performance is quite good too since it's pipelined, stays close to the raw network buffers, tries to get away with minimal syscalls and defaults to prepared statements. It doesn't do typecasting - you give it strings or buffers, it gives you back strings or buffers. This is to stay close to the raw buffers and keep you cognizant of the toString/parse overheads. (And it's 400 LoC, type casting would bloat it to 500 LoC.) But have a look at https://github.com/kig/quickgres/blob/master/quickgres-front... for a TypeParser that turns PostgreSQL protocol values to JS objects.

A special feature of quickgres is streaming out raw PostgreSQL protocol. So instead of the usual "protocol buffer -> parse to JS object -> stringify to JSON -> write to response socket -> parse JSON"-process of sending DB responses to HTTP clients, you can do "protocol buffer -> write to response socket -> parse protocol" and save a bunch of CPU on the web server. The protocol streamed in this way is sanitized (possible non-response segments are not included in the streamed buffer), so it shouldn't be a security hole as long as your DB query is not retrieving columns it shouldn't pass to the client.

Anyway, if you need something tiny for talking to Postgres, have a look. It was fun to write, hope it's fun to read.
I initially just wantetd to replicate my production env locally, then after that experience I wanted to replicate my Docker env in production so that would also be predictable.

APIs are more popular than ever. But developers in a weird way aren’t involved. Go look at tools like Tray, Boomi, Zapier, Integromat. They let business users use APIs to connect all their applications without wiring code.
Never tried myself but this is the most serious attempt I’ve seen on alternative docker syntax https://earthly.dev/

Perhaps universal is too broad “scope” here. Companies nowadays offer services on the internet with reach to every corner of the world. Their customers shouldn’t need to adapt any specific cultural or company origin habits to use their services. Companies should adapt instead if they are offering services to other demographics. It should be easily understood without ambiguity. Yes we all learn from mistakes, but what if this doesn’t result in mistakes all.

Thinking of this further, it seems to me this type of issues are related to accessibility.

Regarding double checking unfamiliar notation: it’s my habit to verify when it’s unclear. The problem is that i know what AM/PM mean. This is a special case i misunderstood. One cannot conclude the misunderstanding until pointed out by an external party.

Based on the comments in this post, it’s obvious i’m not the only struggling with this. Imagine what impact this has on general population as the cultural/country borders are pretty much non-existent on the internet.
The wiki on Pasteurization is a real page turner!

> Prior to industrialization, dairy cows were kept in urban areas to limit the time between milk production and consumption, hence the risk of disease transmission via raw milk was reduced. As urban densities increased and supply chains lengthened to the distance from country to city, raw milk (often days old) became recognized as a source of disease. For example, between 1912 and 1937, some 65,000 people died of tuberculosis contracted from consuming milk in England and Wales alone. Because tuberculosis has a long incubation period in humans, it was difficult to link unpasteurized milk consumption with the disease.

Dude academia needs programmers, specifically biology, biomedicine, and living organism. It doesn’t pay great, but my god you can get a job pretty easy.
It's so shitty that, these days, you need only hear "young-middle-aged male dies abruptly" to think "opioids, probably", and you'll so often be right. (Opioid deaths in women do not get the attention they deserve, I know, especially considering their death rates from this stuff outpaced men's for a good portion of the last 20 years.)

I hope it's not opioids but I have a bad feeling. Rest in power to TH.
Sure, there are, but they all have enough of a learning curve that they don't seem to take hold with the masses.

Nix, Guix, Bazel, Habit, and others, all solve this problem more elegantly. There are some big folks out there, quiet quietly using Nix to solve:

* reproducible builds

* shared remote/CI builds

* trivial cross-arch support

* minimal container images

* complete knowledge of all SW dependencies and what-is-live-where

* "image" signing and verification

I know docker and k8s well and it's kind of silly how much simpler the stack could be made if even 1% of the effort spent working around Docker were spent by folks investing in tools that are principally sound instead of just looking easy at first glance.

Miss me with the complaints about syntax. It's just like Rust. Any pain of learning is very quickly forgotten by the unbridled pace at which you can move. And besides, it's nothing compared to (looks at calendar) 5 years of "Top 10 Docker Pitfalls!" as everyone tries to pretend the teetering pile of Go is making their tech debt go away.

I never thought I'd come around to being someone wary of the word "container", as someone who sorta made it betting on them. There is so little care for actually managing and understanding the depth of one's software stack, well, we have this. (Pouring one out for yet another Dockerfile with apt-get commands in it.)

It's like it stems from some sort of self-hatred, as if we have this belief deep down that we are wrong or corrupted and whatever we are not MUST be good.

These naturalistic fallacies are certainly a strange, ilogical thing, but one at the core belief of _many_ people. I wonder if it's a western thing though and if we don't find it in other cultures as well.

Seems kinda disingenuous to quote that part without the “however”…

“Yet despite the increase in image streaks, the new report notes that ZTF science operations have not been strongly affected. Study co-author Tom Prince, the Ira S. Bowen Professor of Physics, Emeritus, at Caltech, says the paper shows a single streak affects less than one-tenth of a percent of the pixels in a ZTF image.

"There is a small chance that we would miss an asteroid or another event hidden behind a satellite streak, but compared to the impact of weather, such as a cloudy sky, these are rather small effects for ZTF."

If the effects are small compared to cloudy weather, is it really that serious of a problem?
