I think the premise is wrong. Having a structure has many advantages and these advantages work favourably for companies in many cases. Clear hierarchy can immediately end a discussion and bring people to act.

Striving for objective news stories is highly valuable as well as social science regarding as many perspectives on different values as possible. That generates value. Otherwise you just iterate on stagnation. The comparison the author makes is a bit random here and I believe the motivation to define it as such is that she is not content with people making different decisions. Well, nobody truly is but there are different ways to deal with that.

What I agree with is that you should look at power dynamics. Competence is as often seen as a threat by you colleagues as it is seen as a positive. Why is that? Because people feel threatened by it and start to downplay its worth. All those that are threatened do indeed quickly form a structure because of their common goals. That said, there are managers that deserve the authority as they have a talent to keep people focused on relevant issues. They are often well liked and people gladly delegate decision making. But only in the scope of their mission which should be defined just as rigidly as groups are proposed to be here. Although I argue that the latter rigidity is not as relevant.
Any X-only diet doesn't seem healthy to me. There is no magical ingredient and we are omnivorous. Sure you can reduce weight with many types of different diets but it doesn't mean it is good for your health.

It is better to develop good healthy habits than you can maintain for years and also while socializing and living in family.
What about cider? The usual way to make traditional cider in the UK ("scrumpy") is to simply squeeze out and bottle the juice, and let nature take its course. It typically comes out medium-sweet like this.

> Losing weight isn't causal to being healthy.

Except that's not how it works. An excess of fat can directly cause problems.

Above a certain point, having too much fat causes chronic hypoxia in fatty tissue, leading to chronic inflammation, which can eventually lead to systemic problems like insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, liver disease, and cancer.

Edit: I am specifically referring to abdominal fat in excess of what a given body is able to cope with.
Tell me how exactly do you intend to build a dsyon sphere without investing enough to cover the entire earth in solar panels? Covering the entire sun is a far bigger engineering challenge, by a factor of 1000. I swear there are way too many people who lament that our civilization should be 1000 times better but they don't even want to take even the baby steps towards that goal.

Fossil fuel dependence basically means humans are too dumb to generate their own energy. There is no dead plant matter buried in the sun, you're going to have to pull that energy out yourself.

I think it is sad that people want to hold back the entirety of humanity just so they can have a slightly better life for themselves and nobody else.
And that is why heating with gas needs to die a quick death.
As others say I'm fairly sure switch/case creates a jump table under the hood, and it also checks bounds.

Personally, I don't think a static dispatch table like this is a good example. It's really more useful where the dispatch table might be dynamic; for example if a plugin could add more maths functions.
Uhm, it's an example how we recognize more than just gender as biological predisposition in sports to allow "inferior" sportspeople to compete, so I don't see how it doesn't.

The fact that those are orthogonal today matters exactly how (when talking about introducing more granularity at the first, gender level)?
A fill light refers to what the light is doing - it’s making the shadows of your frame a bit brighter so the camera can pick them up.

(As an example, a hair light is an overhead light that’s typically used to give hair more depth and detail. The poster talks about a key light, which is the strongest light in a standard 3 light setup)

I imagine ihue is the brand of light. Or maybe just a misspelling of Hue’s brand.

The article overlooked one essential macro-nutrient: fiber. Definitely lacking in a regular potato, even if one eats the skins.

Also, sweet potatoes are not potatoes - different families, and different nutritional profiles. The former is considered a root, the latter a tuber.

Hi there, Tabnine's DevRel here.
While Copilot serves its code completions through a monolith model, too big to be processed locally (and therefore your code goes into MSFT servers by default), Tabnine's approach is keeping the code it helps writing - private and secured. The way it's done is by using 12 standalone models, which can run locally (but then it'll sometimes consume excessive computing power) OR in encrypted cloud mode, which takes off most of these memory and CPU/GPU resources. You can easily configure the mode you wish to work with through the Tabnine Hub (find the toggle radio button under "Public Model").

I don't when was the last time you've tried coding with Tabnine in the background, but I sure hope that now, with the release of our next-generation abilities you'll give it another go :)

The Cartesian theatre is the view that there is some special place in the brain that ‘contains’ consciousness. Searle thinks there’s some special biological machinery in brains that causes consciousness.

Thats not quite the same thing, but if there is any distinction it’s a pretty darn fine one, and it certainly doesn’t exclude a Cartesian theatre interpretation.
This title is fairly disingenuous considering the test subjects are using vitamin supplements to make up for the obvious deficiency.

The weight loss bits are just silly. Any sustained caloric deficit will cause one to lose fat, regardless of the source. This just seems to be rediscovering the already well-known fact that complex carbohydrates (which potatoes provide) keep you better satiated than simple carbohydrates, so the subjects were consuming less calories overall.
I think the important point in the context of this diet is: it may help you lose weight, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll become more healthy. I guess it's very dependent on individual circumstances, and "healthy" is a fairly broad term.

> Your gut bacteria is a jungle with many species of microbes, trillions of them.

To clarify: modern science estimates 300–1000 species in gut microbiota, 99% by number of cells coming from 30-40 species. The total number of microbial and viral cells throughout a healthy adult body is estimated at over 100 trillion, or roughly 10x the number of one's own body cells.

That reminds of the old Simpsons episode, "Lisa the Tree Hugger", where she meets a boy who is a "level 5 vegan" and thus "won't eat anything that casts a shadow."
You can gain weight on a diet of "healthy" foods. It's the amount of calories. Being overweight is bad for your health even if you only eat healthy foods.

As an actual EE who has designed mainboards, this smells of hyperbole to the N-th degree with a dose of misinformed. As another user said, you had a bunch of dead unmonitored CMOS cells, then lost power. Then realized that all your BIOS configuration parameters where lost and systems wouldn't boot from disk, likely because whatever chosen disk / raid controller configuration was wrong too then. We test mainboards to destruction with simulated faulty power supplies. The CMOS coin cell is so far down the failure chain, your mainboard has released the magic smoke several times over before the CMOS cell on the 3.3V rail with multiple protections is a single failure. I have exploded and burned CMOS coin cells before, but not before the board was a wreck. I'm talking catastrophic failure that it's a bigger concern to the system operators health, forget the board.
As long as all the packages you need are available as a flatpak, then you should be good. My current issue blocking me from using the deck as a full fledge PC is that package availability is limited, ex: installing docker right now would require me to disable the read only system and possibly have the next system upgrade remove docker.

I have done some light programming on the deck and it's a pretty fun experience, but I personally won't switch just yet. For playing video games though, I'm all in.
>First of all, Fossil fuels are the most incredible thing mankind has ever invented.

Humanity didn't invent fossil fuels, they were already there when we discovered them and we haven't figured out how to make them ourselves in the quantity we need. This type of lazy thinking, where you pretending the work of someone else is entirely your effort when you literally can't replicate it and are even proud that you can't replicate it is honestly quite bizarre.

Humans only invented biofuels which would cause mass starvation because they displace food crops.

This is nonsensical reply that misses the key point of this thread.

Nobody here is claiming that psychosis = dementia. Almost the exact opposite.

The only way your comment could be relevant is if you’re trying to claim that nobody has ever been misdiagnosed with dementia due to psychosis-like side-effects from prescription medications.

I mean Stablegains sound like grifters who thought they could make easy money (siphoning 3%-4%) by slapping a new UI and marketing the heck out of it.
Not necessarily. The best way to get it is arguably via the sun, but with caveats.

Because of the thickness of the atmosphere when the sun is at lower altitudes you will only start to get enough UV-B penetrating when the sun is at an angle of >=35 degrees. If you are within 35 degrees of equator you can get UV-B every day, but outside of these latitudes there are many months where there's just not enough solar hang time high enough in the sky to deliver any meaningful amount of UV-B.

The shitty part is, the whole time and more you're still getting UV-A, which is a known cancer risk. Depending on your clothing, skin pigment, weight, and age, UV-B uptake may be significantly reduced (up to 6x for dark skin pigment, 2x for age over 50).

So while you can get UV-B from the sun in mid-day at the right latitudes, most people benefit from supplementing.

Good info at the D-Minder app site: https://dminder.ontometrics.com/

I think what I've learned from this is supplement, supplement, supplement.

You can easily get (far more than) 15% return over a long period basically risk free by buying the S&P500, so it appears that you are the one who is out of touch with reality.

EDIT: How am I wrong?
The purpose of this random Internet trial is to verify or disprove the assertion that this diet is easy to stick to for most people, which would be absolutely massive if true because no weight-loss diet ever has had this property. And it seems to have done very well at that purpose: four weeks later, only about 10% of the cohort were still doing it.
Losing weight isn't causal to being healthy.

Sure it is. I mean there are healthy ways to lose weight and less healthy ways, but losing weight if you're overweight is better for your health.
“Potatoes, milk, butter and the occasional piece of meat” is apparently a nutritionally complete diet, but you need to be able to eat something like 10-lb of cooked potatoes a day, which is hard work and also not that inexpensive either.
It is still causal. You can't add sum of components that "eating x is overall worse than y because it is better in one thing but worse in another". It's hard to compare two axis and specially if one axis is unscientific land of hormone disturbance.

It is not the first bubble and it will be not the last.

It is easy to blame the government, but don't to take the responsibilities by themselves.

There are many people who warned about the crypto bubble and the ponzi scheme over the years. But the crypto-bro's told a different story.

Many people expected that the bubble bust earlier. Some people where over that and stated that crypto is here to stay as long as there are people who can convince others to pour money in, yeah, like a ponzi scheme.

Crypto-bro's told the blue sky's, because it is decentralized and no government is able to regulate it. Now the government is blamed.

You may could blame the government, if it is regulated by the government. But it isn't. The crypto-bro's worked hard that it should not be regulated. So, you can't blame the government.
So our current economic system causes mass mental disorders and sleep disorders, causes alzheimers. Got it. Does the paper recommend revolting?
I don't think OP was suggesting that being overweight was healthy or that losing weight was bad.

They merely suggested that weight loss does not occur as a result of a healthy diet, but rather as a result of an intentionally deficient diet (technically an "unhealthy" diet). That you can lose weight eating only potatoes is therefore not very interesting and does not imply that the diet is healthy.

> The Internet origin story you know is wrong

No it is not.

The BBS community pioneered some of the services that later become popular on Internet, but not at scale, and with very different motivation. It was never the origin story of Internet. At the prime of the BBS area, still years before Internet became commercially available, I remember a friend showing me experimental C code for his BBS for "email", via gateway to Internet.

I used to run a multi-user BBS in Norway with a pool of phone-modems, running under an early (pirated) version of QNX on a 8086 PC. The software, CrCs, was homegrown, written in C, mostly at night, while I worked several day jobs to pay for my BBS hobby. Eventually coding and software design became my profession.

I would argue that crytpo is not pure lottery. It's a risky investment. As every assets, crypto can be over-valued or under-valued.

As someone from China, where central government limit foregin currency exchange, Bitcoin is a god-given tech. I'm not arguing for its value and i don't mean to persuade anyone. This is my opinion. I believe in its value. And guess what? I miss the crypto train too. And I have zero crypto investments. Because I don't want to take unncessary finantial risk when I cannot. I didn't borrow to bet on Bitcoin. In fact, I didn't bet at all. I didn't envy those who bet and win. Because there 100 losers for each winner.

Hard working provides higher expected return than betting.

Wise investmens and hard working provide higher expected return than hard-working alone.

Just my personal thoughts.
There is a vague reference to performance and runtime efficiency, as if function pointers will magically help. The syscalls table is said to be function pointers for performance reasons?? I feel the author does not understand this. The syscall ABI needs it because it's not a direct call, it's a generic mechanism to index into a list of functions whose implementations are completely abstract to the caller...

I guarantee you for these short examples in this article, using function pointers will slow everything down. The function pointer approach destroys locality, is bad for speculative execution, increases code size... A good optimizer would detect this and replace the indirect call with inlining. It's rare that you really need dynamic dispatch. There is a high performance cost for it.

The times when you need dynamic dispatch are those which you can't make a direct call, the callee is not known in advance. So things like generic callback mechanisms.

I think the "cabal" hypothesis is stretching it too much (especially where a malicious element is implied).

But the whole "at least spinkle some [latest trending buzzword] in your proposal otherwise you won't get published/funding", is absolutely 100% true.

Anecdotally, I wrote a paper a few years back, which solved a problem with fuzzy methods. Fuzzy methods are considered "obsolete and superseded by Bayesian methods" by many, which mathematically is borderline retarded, since fuzzy measure theory is in fact a superset of probability theory.
My then supervisor urged me to include a whole paragraph on how "these methods we're proposing are some new kind of fuzzy that draws from bayesian mindsets and any relationship with traditional fuzzy methods is purely coincidental for lack of a better name bla bla bla ..."

Concise and well said. Only one thing to add, war time booms are a bit of a myth. For example, where was the post Iraq War boom?

It is a real thing. You have to blow up your industrial competitors to achieve a worthwhile and meaningful postwar boom.

The difference today is that even if we blew up China, companies still wouldn’t invest here. They just go to India or Vietnam.

We do need more unions in this country. Because our historically low union membership was not enough to stop outsourcing. My hometown‘s manufacturing was strong and has been gutted. It was an anti-union town. And no, the companies did not reward that. It just made it easier for them to go to Malaysia.

How can Bitcoin be a ponzi scheme if it doesn't generate returns for the investors?

I have bought and sold Bitcoin on an exchange and the anonymous person on the other end of the trade did not make any promises of returns.
