>" One can fast for 72+ hours to get a massive spike in HGH."<

Relevant URL:

https://hrtguru.com/does-fasting-really-increase-hgh-levels/

referenced articles therein say fasting 48 hours causes a 5-fold increase in HGH, fasting 5 days causes a 10-fold increase, but that 5 days of fasting also makes the cells unable to utilize the extra HGH:

"Despite the fact that fasting may increase your growth hormone, it actually suppresses the anabolic effects of HGH. That’s because fasting lowers the sensitivity of your cells towards HGH, and decreases its main anabolic mediator called Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).

Thus you will not experience the benefits of increased HGH on muscle mass, energy levels, etc. ..."
Vietnam absolutely was a proxy war - US against Moscow. Domino theory and all that.

The US has a long history of demanding others to sacrifice themselves at the altar of its imperialist struggles, whether it's Australians being sent to die in vietnam or European pensioners being asked to die of cold in dec 2022.
Is there evidence connecting fraud to inflation? Very generally, the cost of someone's income and expenses both increase. It also provides a way for sellers to increase costs, regardless of inflation, then blame inflation like it's a natural force. There was a NY Times article about it in the last few months.

Please, no! I often purchase a song I streamed because I liked it and want to have it even if the streaming service goes away or loses its license to stream that song or album!
You should consider reading “Seeing Like a State” for a history of how even well intentioned social engineering policies can go seriously off the rails.
I think this author puts into words what is missing from algorithmically curated content — a human element that puts things into a historical context. Quoting from the article:

“I have committed my personal and professional life to making sense of music, of finding connections and context within songs to create a critical framework that allows me to organize everything I listen into an ornately chaotic web. If I started a Fugazi radio playlist, maybe I would throw some Red Hot Chili Peppers on there—you’ll hear it. If I started a Pavement radio playlist, how could I not include the Louisiana rapper Young Bleed’s song “How Ya Do Dat,” where he calls himself “slanted and enchanted”? I would argue that Prince’s “When Doves Cry” and Parquet Courts’ “Instant Disassembly” both utilize a stilted, inverted grammatical style in their lyrics and are absolutely in conversation with each other.”
How many of those cycles were decades-long?
Oh no! Anyway...

I don't believe I have ever used Gedit for anything. Ever.

I'm an Emacs guy. I won't be using Text Editor, either. Ever. If it accidentally opens a file, that means I need to change "Open Files of This Type With..."

So all the gnashing of teeth and wailing seems a bit overwrought
> compared to giant corporations and doing werid things banning meat

Presumably these giant corporations are after the profits that can be booked by serving the demand. The question is how much of that demand is ultimately attributable to demands generated by the behaviors and wants of the lay people, even if they are not the proximate cause.

Avoiding externalities is a thing. I would rather have that loop hole plugged instead of a persistent socialization of risks and losses and privatization of the gains, now that would be a free market.
It might be generational. Cooperative usually meant “works well with others,” where I’ve studied and worked. These types usually have a handle on themselves and are looked-at to lead sometimes.

If I may follow the grandparent commentor and provide an unsubstantiated thought: the heads-up angle may suffer from being double-edged; it may indicate someone who suffers from excess self-esteem. From experience, these types are harder to deal with because many times one has to help them relieve themselves of their ego first, before anything substantive can be accomplished. Sometimes, especially as we age, the juice is simply not worth the squeeze and we’d rather just work with someone who is better ready to work together.
Basically. Nobody cared about Kosovo but even more so did nobody want to be responsible for letting a rerun of Srebrenica happen.

It's not enforced in Rust, but it's automatic unless you actively prevent it from happening. So you could say it's an opt-out feature.

Of course, but not why it needs 25k in reserves/assets.

In many other countries it's very cheap and simple. In the UK where we did it, it took half an hour, we did it online in an hour and we needed about £20 all-in to get incorporated and set up a business bank account.
Somewhat cynical point of view is that primary goal of most crypto tokens is to make founders wealthy. Price of CRO briefly went up almost 4x around the purchase. I think it is safe a fairly safe assumption most that founders and execs have a decent amount of CRO. I do not have hard data if any of them took profits around that spike, but they would be dumb not to. So when you look at it from this lens, this netted CRO whales a massive payday.

One interesting thing to look at is adjusted CRO/BTC market cap (https://i.imgur.com/9dlvZ0Z.png). There are two interesting points there. First is - BTC spiked around the same time which would imply that all of the marketing did absolutely nothing or it was only enough to keep up. Second is that CRO/BTC market cap ratio dipped by roughly half since the acquisition. I am going to count this as a sign of a large sell-off which is consistent with some whales getting out.

edit: ugh, I took a second look at that graph and the axis are not labeled. Green is CRO price and it is measured on the left y-axis, yellow is how much BTC you get per CRO and it is measured on the right y-axis.

It’s not controversial to say we have to stick to reason and logic in the pursuit of truth.

But there is nothing about understanding the difference between human and machine intelligence that is forbidden by any reason or logic that I am aware of.

Certainly there is a lot we don’t know about that topic. But unless that knowledge is specifically blocked by logic or the laws of physics, it is knowable. The only thing missing is the knowledge required to understand it.

The only source of knowledge is conjecture and criticism, and discussion with others is a great tool for that process. The more the better.

So unless you believe we know all there is to know about a topic right now, there is always the possibility that some new knowledge could help us get closer to the objective truth about it. And it’s guaranteed that new knowledge will come from creative new ideas and criticism of existing ideas.

Saying something is unknowable is akin to believing in a mysterious god creator, or fairies. But more importantly, it is a way to stop or limit the progress of our understanding of the universe. It’s like when parents say “because I said so”. It shuts down discourse and understanding and leads to closed societies.
Seeing as Ukraine never existed as a country until 1992 it seems to me propping it up as an antagonist of Russia is more destablizing than returning to the status quo ante.

Neither democracy nor autocracy are ideologies. Whether Russia is democratic or not is independent of whether it is in the interest of the west to be friends with Russia.

Communism is dead. "Autocracy" is not a ideology in opposition to "democracy." Rather nations and regions have interests. The interests of the West, especially the powerhouse economies of the EU are better served by friendship with Russia than by pouring money into some Ukranian nationalist black hole.

Turbo Pascal was a bargain at $49 when it was introduced, and remained a bargain as the delay loops were removed from the compiler (according to rumor), and features were added. Delphi at $200 was still a good deal... then the price shot through the roof.

Oh, and it had a REALLY good manual and online help.

I dispute your assertion that society is setup by the government.
But those are just tracking the merger and acquisition status of one company.

My father-in-law worked at Bell Labs. He received AT&T stock as part of his compensation, from before the 1984 breakup. When we settled his estate, that AT&T stock had turned into over 30 different companies.
I suspect you already implicitly included it, but just to mention it: the hunks created by `--patch` commands can be split up further through `s`. But as you said, this is sometimes not enough either (two changed, adjacent lines will remain atomic).
Hah, my vote is for LNT!
I just ran across my 3.5" disks for this along with some of the support tools! Finding this book in the mall bookstore and seeing the ad in the back was a revelation for me. Best $20 I ever spent.

I wanted to learn how to make .exe files but at the time had no resources or contacts on how to even start. This book and compiler was what launched my entire career.

It allowed you to do inline assembly as well which was a lot of fun on an old DOS machine. I'm pretty sure my brother and I hit every possible way to lock up the computer or have it spontaneously reboot since we didn't really understand memory management. Lots of fun trying to make video games and putting the vga card into Mode13 or ModeX as well. Good times.

I would say the strongest use case in my experience is the reverse engineer who is trying to understand an executable. In this case tools like IDA Pro have diagram generation built in and all kinds of plug ins. However, it’s because staring at machine code listings makes your eyeballs bleed. I have a feeling we don’t have this more generally because high level source is decent to read and navigate and developers are the only one who needs to do so.
Maybe landscape gardening needs software solutions, who knows. Optimization of irrigation, planting, taking soil readings, understanding the binary language of moisture vaporators...
I don't think so. What I remember is that compilers and other developer tools were expensive and that was normal. Real "professional" tools but also beginner stuff like Visual Basic. Though as a teenager I remember pirating them.

Free software and open source did a lot to change that. GCC for example. Linux becoming popular also helped. Then as interpreted languages became popular, with perl, python, etc., all free and under permissive licenses. Java was free for personal use then with commercial licenses IIRC? Even Microsoft started having "express" editions or compiler-only without IDE. I'd say by the 2000s decade compilers were no longer a cash cow.
It really depends on why prices are rising. Prices rising because a society is getting wealthier overall and wants to spend more on better quality products (or more ethically produced/sourced products) is not generally a bad thing.
Well, we have other reasons to chose rust rather than a GC'd language (mostly has to do a lot of FFI, which Rust makes much easier than go or Java). I do agree that, if GC'd language fits the problem space, they tend to be much better.
What? If you're cutting, you're not doing it for excess fuck-you cash, it's clearly a runway planning scenario. Giving the example of a company that basically shut down while paying their employees to do nothing isn't helping make your point.
I can't talk about level of mass-food distribution in USA, being European living in EU having only visited very few parts of USA for a very little time but in general terms: transports was and are the key to have much, much more, since the model of a self-contained starship able to produce locally 99% of it's crews needs and desire exists, unfortunately, so far, only in the fantasy domain: we made many things around the world but never all in the same place.

However the mass distribution of food have also very nasty side effects: pushing agriculture toward large and specialized enterprises scattered across the globe *apparently* have raised the overall output but in practice have lowered the efficiency and resilience of agriculture. The push toward standard sizes and varieties is equally harmful: we have create a seed monopoly with hybrid varieties *explicitly* made to keep their characteristics just for one generation (one year) tie farmers to the monopoly itself EVEN WITH LAWS making hard to sell different/non-standard varieties/calibers. Similar nasty things have happen for animal farming: artificial insemination done by very few and very large entities have crushed the genetic variability of animals, surely cows produce more milk etc, but are far more fragile and so on.

Long story short: exaggeration in the name of business have create a short-term hyper-abundance and now we are in trouble to keep the food production at sustainable level FOR NOW, not really knowing what to do for the future. We can't right now "coming back to the old school", but we must do our best to annihilate modern mass-distribution as it is because we are already in a mess, and the future is far nightmarish. I do not know how we can evolve, local scale farms might be self-sufficient for low dense areas, but not on scale, so not enough even to nourish the industry we need behind to have all needed gears and tools.
The dynamics of such a system are rarely considered, which is why it's such an easy trap for societies to fall into, especially societies with high regard for their institutions.

It starts with the voices of reason ("Isn't there a danger this data could be abused?") being slowly pushed out, through lack of promotions or being transferred to other departments where they are a "better fit".

Then this government body starts to attract the naive zealots ("Just think of all the good we can do! How could anyone see a problem with us collecting more data?") which becomes self-reinforcing.

The final step is when the ambitious and malicious take notice ("This data must be worth a lot of money to the right people, and I could make sure my political party never loses another election") at which point the entire process is captured and corrupted from the top down.

Avoiding building these systems in the first place is good civic hygiene, and societies need to develop an instinct that if you allow data and power to accumulate in one place for too long, it will start to attract pests.
It's a lot better not to pick a fight with Russia at all. What is the specific ideological beef with Russia?

I think this is the third time I've seen this in my professional career. First during the dot-com bubble burst in the early 2000s. Then during the 2008 recession. Now again we are starting to see news everyday about another company going through layoffs. Soon there will be a tsunamai of hiring freezes and layoffs as every company gets in on this. If the past is anything to go by, things will be bad for a number of years, but then will greatly improve on the other side.
Yeah but I don't care about 99.9% of that, and a lot of that other 0.1% isn't even on Spotify.

You could say the same thing about an all-you-can-eat buffet. You won't end up eating the whole restaurant, and if you do they'll kick you out.

"Basically every song ever recorded" is a red herring to strip you of ownership of your media.

Yes, NPR.
I personally wouldn’t say the passage itself is racist, as there are cultures that are more communal and those that are less, and alone thats not offensive or racist it’s just natural, but the idea has been used to put l people down as convenient arguments for political slap fights. I remember when the covid thing first started, seeing comments start to pop like: “Asian people are naturally all submissive to authority and that’s why they all wear masks willingly”.

The wording may not quite, he right but it gives the general idea.

“the Biden team has hit the right diplomatic notes at each stage of the crisis. Their actions have been substantive—but also measured, proportional, and carefully planned. The purpose of their actions on the security front have been clearly and convincingly articulated. They possess a coherence that our sanctions regime against the Russians lacks.”

This is a major flaw in the analysis of the Ukraine situation. The Biden admin has bungled this affair and placed the Ukrainian people in the position of pawns with zero chance of victory who are getting their country blown up to only end up with less land and likely less sovereignty. The administration has focused the entire conflict straight to war, discouraging diplomacy and encouraging brinksmanship.

The sanctions were foolishly over estimated when applied to a country like Russia which is one of the most self-sufficient countries in the world with huge trading partners that are not afraid of the US’s empty threats. Is the US going to go after China for trading with Russia while the vast amount of its technology and goods are assembled there? The US gave up its dominance by pushing globalization as a “strategy” that eviscerated its manufacturing of critical hardware and technology. The US is now a paper tiger.

I too did embedded code (firmware) work, in the 199x's with only an ICE (basically, hardware debugger). I only dreamed of having printf-capable logging facilities on the HW target; almost all of the firmware "game" comes down to finagling the egress of debug (and application characterization) information off the (in my case, eternally extremely cost-/resource-constrained) target. These days things are much better in this regard (32-bit CPU's and associated memory and other-infra (data-path) resources are MUCH more capable than those of the 8- and 16-bitters of a few decades ago...). Briefly returning to the thread topic: this experience doing FW dev and usually only having a debugger (and how terribly inefficient that was) strongly guided me to a logging-based debug approach: the ability to collect a log and filter it using ad-hoc (e.g. Perl-based) tools, provides IMO an order of magnitude more powerful way to truly understand program (and HW target) behavior compared to a debugger.

I didn't mention earlier that a key component of my "leave DBG printfs in the source code and let the compiler both (a) type-check the trailing param types vs the format string, and (b) elide codegen (executable file footprint) for those same DBG printfs due to the compiler optimizing those calls out" approach is that I build with -O3 which (at least historically; I haven't checked recently) provides a poor gdb debugging experience because the optimizer frequently de-correlates source code lines from generated machine code; if I encounter a segfault, I must suss out a repeatable test case, clean rebuild with -O0 (no optimization), keep fingers crossed that the test case still fails (it usually does), and repro under gdb. The hassle associated with this gyration inhibits my debugger use in non-segfault cases (though these days a clean rebuild is a lot faster than it used to be).
