Bad title. They are actually trying to do a study.

They have arguments for taking kind of "a fad diet" seriously enough to do a study based on existing anecdotal evidence that this might not be a crazy fad diet.
I'm a software dev now. I only write Haskell. My bachelors was in electrical and computer engineering. The experience I got in the lab making analog circuits, asics, and from-scratch computers on an FPGA was invaluable. There was a lot I don't remember - fair. But my education is well beyond any peer I've run into in my time at FAANG and startups alike. And I went to an in-state school in the Midwest for cheap!

> I would argue that crytpo is not pure lottery. It's a risky investment.

Unless you have funds to throw on it and you become rich without ever moving a finger. I mean yeah, congrats for your ability to "see" the future, but I struggle to understand how you created any value, how there's anything more than luck and income inequality to support a case for your new wealth to be legit. You're just extracting value from whoever came after you, in what is a classic Ponzi scheme.

If you already had capital to begin with, you never even really "risked" on it. If you have $10 milions and you risk $1 milion, that is in no way a risk comparable to someone who owns $1k and risks $100.

> As someone from China, where central government limit foregin currency exchange, Bitcoin is a god-given tech.

Why? Most usage of crypto I see is either tax eavsion or on the black markets. Drugs, weapons, fake ids and much much worse. China is doing well and the rest of the world is considering limitations on crypto as well.

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

I agree on this, but fuck this world where you can get richer than people who work without doing any hard work.
Frictions are not a new thing: for a simple mixer you just need a friction coupling with two sandpaper-like washers, Not only it's safer than a braking gear who can spill debris around blocking something else, but it demand essentially no repair...
Many (most?) toilets around where I live do let you exert "analog" control over the flushing process, at least when initiating it. On the one in my apartment, If I begin to press the flush button very gently, water will start flowing in at a very reduced rate (and carrying material with it down the drain without causing a splash), compared to when just pushing down the button without any consideration.
Depends on your bit rate. At 1Mbps, 100 connections is the hard upper limit. At 5Mbps, 20.
The EDID i2c eeprom is 256 bytes in size. Even if a malicious laptop overwrites the content, there is utterly no way that a piece of malware can embed itself in there that can cause an adverse reaction on a computer that attaches later on.
I have long-suspected that a significant part of the hate for crypto from tech-literate people is resentment for not figuring out the success of something they were equipped to have seen earlier. And here is a little snippet of it at work.

> If your friend only had $5k in total and threw them all in Terra then I guess the lesson he got in the crash is way more valuable than any savings he might have kept. He would have lost them anyway on the next shitcoin.

So if they lose money, they deserve it.

> In the meantime a couple of friends who never worked got rich just because they bought a few thousands $ (money borrowed...from their family) worth of crypto at the right moment.

> What is this bullshit? Why am I even busting my ass trying to create value, when I could just buy shitcoins and become a millionaire?

If they win money, they don't deserve it.

I guess we should just send the money to you.
This is an incredibly useful tool.

I have a large C codebase for an embedded device, and I've often thought about the work involved in one day porting it to Embedded Linux with a higher level & safer language.

This kind of tool is a game changer.

I think it would be more accurate to state that interactions between APP and presenilin are very likely causative in late onset AD. Currently the known consequence of that interaction is production of Abeta, ergo the amyloid hypothesis.

However, if another outcome of that interaction were found, then the "amyloid cascade hypothesis" would be easier to reject.

Recent work by several independent groups has focused on disruptions to the endolysosomal system as an alternative causative mechanism, e.g. Lee et al, 2022, discussed in the link below. One should note that despite the claim in the title, the authors may actually finger APP-C99 as causative in the original paper, which I have read very carefully (or rather fail to distinguish between Abeta and APP-C99).

My local library does this for part of their collection. It works surprisingly well.
Is your argument in good faith? Seems like you know enough about the matter to destinguish an API definition from implementation. That's what that ruling was about, and you seemed to know it, yet make the comparison as if it was valid.
> - Recording screen or window, while recording desktop audio and mic at the same time.

Can you show what sources you setup for this scenario? I haven't put much effort into it, but slamming my mic and audio output in there didn't produce satisfying results.
Why not? Do open source, get github stars and get noticed and start working in the industry from mid-level or senior roles straight. This is something Indians will never do just because they never work alone - i think cultural issue, they need to be employed full time - for caste reasons (?) - so they work for body shops.
If there was a reason to prefer JS, sure. But it's not really any better in other respects. The only thing it has going for it is that it's forced on you on the frontend.
Interesting. I am one year on mostly keto and lost all excessive fat and gained a lot (!) of muscle. And I seem to be burning fat and gain muscle at the same time.

One thing to note, I am not sure why would you suggest to remove olive oil. All the research (I’ve seen) suggests that olive oil is really good for humans
Funny. Exactly the opposite of what I always heard growing up: don't eat anything white. White bread, potatoes, rice, etc.
A step in the right direction if you have a compiler with c++17 support.

Note: chrome only supported c++17 features in Dec 2021 [0], and whether std::string_view is allowed to be used is still 'to be determined'.

New language or new runtime?
That is a terrific question, and I don't know.

I actually happen to work in a printing house, but what I stated is something that was explained to me years ago. I'm in the software development department, but I'll ask around in the printing department and see if I can get any clarification. I do wonder if that information is local to our country, or to specific books, it was explained to me in the context of a hardcopy of Journey to the Center of the Earth falling apart. The book was likely printed locally as it is in our local language, not French.
People write languages at higher levels of abstraction not to type fewer characters but to reduce logical errors that can occur, and provide better abstractions over things.

An example here is an infinite list. It's far easier to do that in say Haskell and python, applying filters along the way using higher order and curried functions than it is to do it in say C.
> I know what you mean, but silly nit pick since you mentioned “commercial” twice - GPL v3 does not prevent commercial use, it only requires copies to be open source. For someone to notice the project has copied code and not be inside the company, the code would (probably) have to be open source. So, this hypothetical is less likely to happen than your comment makes it sound.

The are plenty of source available or open core projects where use of GPL-ed code would both be visible and incompatible with the licensing.

> Oh yeah, and I just remembered that GitHub’s Terms already carve a necessary exception to whatever license you use in your project, to allow Github to host & display your code. I assume those terms already include some CoPilot coverage…?

Letting github host and display the code is compatible with open source licenses but is very much different from letting third parties incorporate that code into non-open codebases.

> If not, and if they aren’t legally covered already (which I bet they are), then they could change the terms to stipulate that hosting code on GitHub bars people from suing over incidental amounts of automated copying. Main point here being that the GPLv3 license on your project is neither the only nor the primary license governing GitHub’s relationship with your code.

GitHub TOS can only possibly give them authorization from those directly uploading code to GitHub. They don't give github any additional license for code that was uploaded by a someone else (for example a mirror bot) becose that someone does not have the rights to give out that license.

And even if they write in their TOS that they can do whatever they want it does not mean that they can actually legally do whatever they want - even moreso when retroactively changing those terms.
I've never understood why offering adjustable mortgages to people at the edges in the credit calculations isn't guaranteed to create a housing crash when rates go up.

A significant number of people will absolutely have to sell as they can't afford the new monthly payment, and the value has just dropped for anyone who can model probable futures, and a significantly smaller number of people will buy given the raise in mortgage costs.
Sure there are some US-Canada connections but those take years/decades if they ever get approved

I have become more and more convinced that recycling is overhyped. Not that we shouldn't do it (except in the documented cases where it's actually not accomplishing anything), but there's a reason it's at the end of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

Hoping we can push more and more towards reduce and reuse.
Sorry to spoil the party, but my experience with OBS for creating a webinar video was not good. OBS is powerful, but it lacks decent defaults. Creating a simple overlay of my webcam in circular form over the presentation was not possible. But even a rectangular side-by-side of my webcam next to the presentation didn't look good ( the position was always wrong by a few pixels) because you have to position everything manually. It would be very nice if one could position things by selecting say top left corner, center, bottom right corner and also simply select shapes for the video view.

For doing webinars I'm now using the functionality built into Apple Keynote, which is great and simple to use: https://support.apple.com/guide/keynote/add-live-video-tan6a...

Also - in opposition to OBS - Keynote will not use 100% of my CPU to render the live presentation.
Half of the internet is people shouting that "carbs will kill you", and then there's people who argue that eating only carbs is the best idea ever.

The only thing that makes sense to me is that any extreme position is wrong. E.g. only carbs, no carbs at all, only meat, only plants.
Sorry but this is not compatible with the clinical evidence base: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/files/docs/guidelines/ob_gdlns.pdf

See page xxi, chapter A. Weight loss is recommended for lowering blood pressure, levels of total/LDL cholesterol, and blood glucose, and for blood pressure and blood glucose these effects have also been shown in RCTs with weight lowering medications, so we can't say they were due to more healthy diets alone.

See also this summary of evidence of the benefits of moderate (5-10%) weight loss: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5497590/

(saying that I agree with you that we shouldn't all adopt the cabbage soup diet, or potato-only diet for extended periods, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater)

(I wouldn't recommend the potato-only diet for someone who hasn't already attempted a healthy, balanced diet with consistent tracking, that should always be the first thing attempted as it can be continued indefinitely with less dependence on tracking over time, but some people find the effort of tracking hard to maintain)
Tabnine and Copilot feel like the endboss for various plagiarism checkers. I'm curious how universities will adapt to this.
They never said being overweight is healthy, so this isn't really a counterargument.

They're saying losing weight != healthy, which isn't the same thing. Take anorexia or bulimia for example. You could be overweight, but that doesn't mean losing weight from an eating disorder is healthy. Same is true for a diet. Just because you're losing weight from a diet, doesn't mean the diet is healthy for you.

This feels more like a half-baked supermarket marketing campaign than an actual push for innovation. But hey, I'm all for it! It's one of those rare market conditions that allow creative people to bring wacky new ideas to life.
We produce it in immense quantity from fossil fuels and vent the fossil CO2 into the atmosphere.

The price of which is forecast to go up.

Green Ammonia is made from renewable energy, which is forecast to become cheaper.

It also requires electrolysers which are ramping up production and are also predicted to fall in price as they get made at scale from cheaper components.

So it's a fairly safe bet even if you don't believe all the published academic papers that go through the working in great detail, or the business cases that predict a multi-Billion dollar market for it.

I'm still rocking an Apple Watch series 3. I know a couple people rocking old iPhones, and just doing battery swaps every once in a while.

It's not necessarily the best option but god do they feel like devices that last long (especially compared to the "barely usable on arrival" that is most mid-tier android).
Nah. You're just projecting your fears on me.

> So if they lose money, they deserve it.

I didn't say that. Just that it was bound to happen sooner or later. It's clear though that as with any other Ponzi scheme, there are people who join early and profit and people who join late and give all their savings to the early comers. OP's friend is one of the late comers. My friends are early comers.

> If they win money, they don't deserve it.

Again, never said this. I'm just saying that it's a lottery and that it's crazy to have masses of people betting their future livelihoods on this Ponzi scheme.

By the way yes, I don't think you really "earned" your wealth if you got it on the lottery or from your parents. Sue me. Or better, get to work and earn your wealth.

> resentment

No resentment. Just pity for people who think they earned and deserve all they have, when in fact they've just born in the right family, in the right place, at the right time.

> I guess we should just send the money to you.

Keep your lottery money. As I pretty clearly stated, I want to earn mine with actual work.
I don’t think the average brain works like this. If you know you have a piece of code to deliver or are in flow, I don’t think you’d willingly start browsing HN just because you went to SO to c&p some boilerplate code.

I find that if my brain is willing to be distracted, it’s made some sort of calculation saying that the cost of being distracted isn’t going to have a significant bearing on deliverables…and I’m pretty sure I’m no better or worse at estimations than anyone else.
I guess the "bug in the laptop" part would be the hardest at the time of auto-updates.

Assuming someone builds a database of vulnerable displays and related exploits, your software can choose the correct exploit because HDMI sends the display model. But if the display is not connected to the network, it would have to exploit an unpatched vulnerability over HDMI in a laptop that connects to it. Not entirely impossible but the time window might be slim if it's not a zero-day.
To add on to this comment for anyone curious about ammonia: Green ammonia production is among the top 10 emerging technologies in chemistry in 2021 [1,2]. The Haber-Bosch process consumes 1% of the worlds global energy, and generates 1.4% of the worlds carbon dioxide [3].

That being said there is a lot of research both to generate ammonia from green energy, and the work to harvest ammonia for use as a fuel cell would benefit as a secondary emergent technology.

I dont think he wrote off the renovations, as that would be problematic from a tax perspective. what he probably does is charge LMG what would be considered a reasonable rate to film on at his home and he makes money back that way.

i.e. this came up when he was talking about the wall tv. he couldn't just bill it to lmb and store it at home, he would have to pay for it out of pocket and then charge LMG for every time they used it.
And the central bank interest rate is at 1.25%.

I think it unlikely that the deck will get cancelled as a product. The Steam Controller was a commercial failure, interesting as it was technically.

But Valve can't make the deck fast enough, they've got a months-long waiting list. I think they've got a hit on their hands, at least if they can catch up with demand.

I also suspect the platform will find lots of uses other than gaming. It's just a really handy form factor, with lots of controls. Not that this does Valve any favors -- as the article says, there's likely little margin in the hardware.

While compilers do turn switch statements into jump tables, in this case storing function pointers and calling them you add the additional call overhead of saving registers, setting up the stack, etc in the function prolog and epilog.

The vans are and always have been a hollow deterrent.

I believe OP does not realize how machines talking to machines (in this case: reading from machines) is a central part of our future. It's not only malic. actors as mostly put in the article. We missed making the internet structured so reading the web with machines in the way we will go about it. It's unavoidable and will lead to good outcomes. For sure it's annoying for site owners seeing bots go crazy (3k req/m) but does it matter if a machine picks up my random thought I should have not posted to the internet in the first place or a person?
How is that even possible? If we took time moving forward you’d be wrong till the end of time.
A compiler can generate a jump table. Whether it will is another matter. For a small number of cases or values with large numeric gaps you will most likely get a chain of conditionals.
This take is too reductionist. Every website ever has a boring unit test called “Is it up?” where you check if the site is still working after a deployment.

Boring and repetitive but of infinite value if you can detect early that your deployment broke something.

If a boring/boilerplate unit test like this can deliver value, other b/b unit tests are probably going to similar impacts and hence, saying they all “decrease” value is reductionist.
Can we think without using language?

In many ways it certainly is. Knees don't go bad because they are carrying excess serum triglycerides that just happen to correlate with body mass.
They break. Humans fix it. Nobody can fix broken hacked contracts and act as intermediaries to solve issue. 3 party responsibility is key for stability.
