Something that's always confused me is how I get powerful cravings for sugar, but am relatively untempted by salty foods or carbohydrates, wheras my sister(very close in age to myself) isn't tempted at all by sugar but is a sucker for salty foods. We grew up in a presumably quite similar culinary environment. I've often wondered If the differences can be explained by gut bacteria.

Also, surely the claim that this is the first study to show a link between gut bacteria and food choice is wrong? I'm pretty I've known about the link for years?
Right on, the original story it's based on, by William Gibson, was published in 1981 but the movie is from the 90's. I think that movie is tragically underrated but it does have a bit of a cult following now at least.

>> other useful things one can do in the dev console?

There just seems to be a suprising amount of built in stuff in the browser that does more than rendering text/layout.

I participated in some interesting work at a hackathon a while ago that used a web audio component to signal back and forth between various laptops and phones. It was mostly getting hacked together in the browser dev console.

(I'll come back with some code if I can find it...)

> costs nothing to remove something someone might find offensive

But there is a cost. You're losing a battle in the war of free speech vs Orwellian thought control.

The woke (an offshoot of last-wave feminism, currently promoted mainly by the control-left strain of the Democratic party) are lying; they're not actually offended, they're just using that as an excuse (propaganda) and as an emotional appeal, to get you to agree to their arguments, and cede power to them. This is most obvious with "Latinx" which is pushed by white journalists & activists but which isn't even supported by the overwhelming majority of Latinos and Latinas in the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latinx

Don't believe me? Listen to what they (the woke) say themselves!

You have no idea how many people would call your non-binary friend a "gender extremist" for the brief interaction you described here.
> It's not a muscle to be exercised

But maybe it should be. Just as you can lack physical strength and exercise to become stronger if you view that as desirable, you can be too introverted and work to become less so if you view your level of introversion as undesirable.

OP isn't being unreasonable. It's certainly possible to find yourself in a position where you are extremely isolated. For some introverts that would be an ideal place to be, but for others it would be depressing and they would then have to learn how to become somewhat more extroverted.

I think you're reading too much into what he's saying.
yeah I like that aspect of Snap Maps too but it lacked usefulness when everyone stopped using it no matter how densely populated the area was or where my friends are. I'm glad to know people are using it again and posting relevant snaps.

Protip: for those not looking for their own friends specifically, you can/could use snapmaps without a snapchat account, just in your browser and see the feed of whats happening in the heatmap.

There is governmental censorship and private censorship. People complaining about censorship in the US are complaining about private censorship. I also don't think anybody in the US is saying that the censorship we have here is worse than censorship experience experienced by others. Censorship in India doesn't really impact the average person in the US but the private censorship in the US does.
The Guardian points fingers at the West on the issues of free speech, human rights, CO2 emissions and oil imports from Russia (and pretty much every other oil exporting nation) on a daily basis. The idea that it reserves its criticism for places like India is comically ignorant of the Guardian's editorial stance...

(And the prevailing institutional bias at the highest level of government is the other way: it's "we'd probably make more of a fuss about these incidents and allegations if Modi didn't seem such a pro-business, pro-West kinda guy". The UK government's latest obsession is a trade deal with India, after all)

Your own arbitrary unfounded judgements of other countries are all over this thread. Sorry, your culture isn't the only one that gets to have an opinion on others.
Hopefully there will be another open day when it shuts down for cleaning. When they did it in 2013, I was fanboying off my head at getting to see the CMS experiment that helped Higgs to a Nobel. Amazing, and then for uber-geek points, getting to see how they powered everything and how the electricity was managed. I mean, the people showing you round are the scientists who run the experiments and there’s nothing they can’t explain.

Sorry, bit of a tangent, just excited about this.
FYI (because I've been surprised several people I expected to know this didn't recently):

The number versions represent the year and month of the release: 22.04 was released late April 2022. The next stable will come out in late April 2024, and the next, I dunno, Short Term (?) 22.10 release will come out in October.
This niche has largely been replaced by casual mobile games. Pop open Candy Crush and play for as long as you have time. You're never really done, but each session is basically independent of the past and doesn't require a whole lot of mental effort.

TV in general is losing viewership to games. A decade ago, the watercooler conversation at work would be "So, what TV shows are you watching?" Now, it's "So, what games have you installed lately?" This may be a big part of Netflix's problem.
Lookup tables are a good way to do fast arithmetic. Some IEEE 754 implementations still use them - usually with interpolation - for certain functions.

That aside - hardware technologies, storage systems, ISAs, engineering enhancements (like paging, caches, microcode, and others), operating systems, market segmentation (micro, mini, super, etc), languages, and compiler theory all have their own separate histories.

You don't need to know the histories to write good code, but they're all interesting in their own right.

All the book suggestions here are good, but I'd also recommend a rummage through the huge bitsavers computing archive (http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/) for first hand notes, memos, and documents from a huge selection of manufacturers and facilities.

It's a bit of a disorganised grab bag with a fair amount of noise, but the IBM, DEC, Burroughs, CDC and various university archives have some fascinating material.
In my experience unlimited attention of the novice is generally better than the rushed attention of the bike mechanics in most cases. I've had Acura, Subaru, and Tesla cars. Even simple things like lug nut torque and tire pressures are way off. Similar with bikes.

Brakes are pretty straight forward, a bleeding kit is $20 ish, and if done right lasts quite a bit longer and feels better than the store bleeds. More importantly less air = more consistent braking. Sure store bleeds help, and how an improvement. But they don't seem to spend the time to get all the bubbles out. I just spend a few extra minutes applying negative pressure to the brake fluid and watch till the bubbles stop coming out of solution and end up with a bleed better than I've had at the last 5 bike shops I've used.

Sure it's a bit messy, but doing it when it's nice out on a driveway or sidewalk isn't a big deal. A set of allen wrenches, a bleed kit (hose + syringe), and the right fluids (some bikes use mineral spirits, others use brake fluid). From what I can tell even the first attempt based on watching an expert (like an SRAM brake engineer on youtube) will go better than most bike shops will do for ya.

Bike mechanics are crazy fast at doing decent work, but not hard to beat if you have the time. Do buy a torque wrench or two though.

that snapchat thing you wrote about sucks.
however, what you wrote on epic does make sense. maybe they didn't remove for security reasons but you can't use it to login and therefore can't steal some account. think what happens if they had purchases info with that email... they might need it. but at least block login attempts.
Models need to generalize over what they've been shown though. Most people won't learn to drive near an airplane or a wheelchair either, but would have no problem avoiding those.
Does "motherboard" even make sense as a term? It's not like a motherboard gives birth to little baby boards that eventually grow up to be mother and father boards of their own. It's just one of those weird words we accept because it's been part of a shared vocabulary for so long. I don't particularly see any harm in assigning a gender role to a hardware device, but I don't see anything is particularly gained either. "Mainboard" is fine.

Maybe that's intentional. You've now paused to look at something you didnt originally intend to look at, but may pause long enough to read. And who's to say that "click adjacent" slide wasn't intentionally close enough in interest.

Or maybe the intent is just for the subliminal nature. So when you see the same or related images later, you'll pause just a bit longer.
I would do a whole lot more digital rentals if the prices weren't so damn high. How is it that it can be significantly cheaper to rent the physical disk than to stream the movie once? How can I watch 20 hours of stuff on HBO in 4k for like $10 or $12 or whatever that runs now for a month, but a single 2-hour movie is $5?

It'd also help a lot if I didn't need a different "app" for every store, with its own player UI. Learning how to use yet another designer's cute "experience" just to do the same thing I used to do with a few buttons on the front of a VCR that were the same for every single movie, isn't my idea of fun.
I've always associated motherboards with motherships--the larger thing in charge of making all the other little things behave well together.

If donator's blood has same concentration of pfas as recipients, the recipient's concentration does not change! Also, the recipient has probably just lost blood, so total amount of pfas won't change either, and taking into account that people that donate blood do so often with some regularity, the donators blood actually is likely to have less pfas than the recipients original blood.

I'm not even against piracy but this comment smacks of entitlement and lack of nuance. The "movie industry" isn't some monolithic thing and no one needs 6 platforms. Pirate content if you want, but don't pretend you're entitled to tv or movies.

Having gotten into computers in the early 1990s, I knew a lot of "Things Every Hacker Once Knew", but I did find something exciting that I didn't know in the discussion of ASCII control characters:

I tried Ctrl-W in a Linux console and it works! This will save me some trouble in the future.
Rioters and protesters come from oppressed and impoverished communities. Nobody speaks for them. The media speaks for the rich and powerful politicians. It’s weird how the actual victims are portrayed as the wrongdoers here.

There are a couple of commenters here who live in India who would disagree with this idea. Here's one:

Aside from that, it's interesting how users expect everything in the frontpage now (Not that i m complaining). They seem to be blind to subpages and expect to find anything with a bit of scrolling. Hiding content behind curtains, like carousels do, is a bad idea.

Why? I think that slavery is bad only if the slaves are people. I want machines to be my slaves! (non-sentient machines only, dear future AI overlords!)
Oh, its not about good coders. It's about who they select. Companies now explicitly ask DIE (diversity, equity & inclusion) questions. Its the new filter to select those that follow this new orthodoxy.

Compelling product > advertised speech philosophy.

Are there any serious social networks who overtly advertise as anti-free speech? Making speech the hook when the site looks like a third-rate ripoff of Twitter isn't a winning strategy.

Because the "issues" with type hinting that you are talking about are only based on what you wished it was, not on what it is or what it could become!

Ask yourself this: what about the python's type hinting story you think could be improved without turning python into a statically typed language? What about the python's type checking story that is missing or broken and that is attributable to the language and not to the tool?

Quite frankly, no. My motivation for the conversation now is mostly to see how long is going to take you to realize that you are merely wishing that your motorboat could fly like a hydroplane.

A significant proportion of 90s trek fans who have seen the new series would agree its not worth it.

I pirate-streamed the first season of discovery due to its lack of availability on other platforms. Felt like a 10 hour movie about a dystopian future with weak shallow characters rather than an episodic serial about the great people solving problems in a better society than we have today. Tried a few episodes of Picard and just didn't get into it. Neither were entertaining enough for my full attention, ended up watching on second monitor while playing a game.

I would feel like a schmuck if I paid CBS to subsidize this content: wasn't what I want more of in the world. There is no "voting with your dollar" in modern content delivery when you can't get a refund when a show ends up being a waste of time.

> Note I did say tubeless - I bought the bike to ride trails and I understand these to be more durable. If it took the guy at the shop an hour to put a tire on, have him describe it as not fun, requiring specialized tools, and say it'll last a year if I maintain it a bit, I can assure you I'm not going to DIY that.

Well it's most that you can run lower pressures without snakebites, but generally the durability is similar if you use the pressures appropriate for each. Tubeless tires can be a pain occasionally, especially if using a bike pump. It's a pain, and a compressor can be a huge help. I do it myself, not to save the occasional bike mechanic fee, but so that I could fix things whenever I need without scheduling a trip to the bike shop (if they are open).
Afaik there was some somewhat legitimate concern it would effect mixed content networks. E.g. networks that carry voice, video, and internet or networks that provide different "tiers" (business vs consumer)

Theoretically it should make access cheaper by allowing ISPs oversubscribe networks while still guaranteeing performance to certain customers but, in practice, I find it highly unlikely that savings would ever get passed on to the customer (instead converted into "shareholder value")
What exactly do you see as obfuscated?
My house was built in the 1980s and other than upgrades and repairs pretty much works as is. I don't have to pay a monthly subscription to switch on/off my lights. Other than repairs, the house will likely work for another 50 years without major upgrades, although the electricity network may have to be updated to accommodate charging electric cars. I haven't seen a a single smart home system that is going to last longer than a decade while remaining secure at the same time.

I am sure home will get smarter over time, however, it will be in areas where internet connectivity actually pays off, not fads like a internet connected fridge that messages you when it is empty.

I generally don't get the outcry about the brooding and dark themes in works meant for moody teenagers - which is a constant trait of them across space and time.

If we didn't single out superhero comics, we could mention a great number of young adult works with dark themes - Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Huckleberry Finn, Arthur Gordon Pym, Jack London's works just to give some examples of the top of my head.

I'm not a developmental psychologist, and I don't want to speculate why teens are this way, but they certainly always have been.
Exactly! I don't respect it, but it's a very understandable response. Just stop making this controversy our problem.

The "correct" response in my eyes is to say "we are a platform, we aren't responsible for the speech of our users as long as it is legal," but that's a very expensive and profit-negative strategy these days.
All of the problems they point out are when using a carousel for navigation or other interactivity. A lot of times they are simply for displaying something flashy and dynamic on the front page without really caring whether a user sees it all or not, and for that they work great.
Agreed, most of my websites are essentially just pitch decks to check the box of some audience's quest for determining if they should take my seriously.

And so since its not optimizing for engagement, it is purely aesthetic, but aesthetic in the sense that it can have poor features that other serious companies use. A Fortune 500 website would have notoriously shitty aspects, do that if you want audiences that think that is clout.

Fortunately my non-North American and younger North American audiences don't even care about websites. All commerce is driven straight through chat apps. And do I really want the clientele that thinks I need a website that they will accidentally find on a search engine, or by accidentally typing a .com in the address bar by habit? no. I've considered make my fonts smaller and thinner hoping they think thats a problem and bounce, I like the aesthetics of thinner fonts but its more like thinking maybe I can just ignore the issue from the people who are less likely to be able to read it since they're not the target audience anyway.

I'm pretty much never doing things for SEO. Everyone's just going to click through from a chat app, or a twitter feed because someone else was talking about it. Since a lot of people swear by other e-commerce books that never made them a dime and have opposite advice, maybe I should release my own.
Find me a reasonable person offended by this terminology and I'll show you an unreasonable person. That connotation doesn't come through at all.
