There are a few references that say glyphosate doesn't bioaccumulate well due to the chemical's "ionized state, its low octanol-water partition coefficient"[1]. However there are others that suggest glyphosate may bioaccumulate in biofilm consuming invertebrates, where biofilms concentrate glyphosate and prevent the chemical from being retained in surrounding water[2].

Personally, these concepts are newer to me and I'm not sure what to make of it all yet.

Indeed. It's also the antithesis of what I understand to be the
"American Dream", perhaps synonymous with "freedom" in our time. The
kind of thing people will fight wars to hold on to. Really not good.
So in my opinion worth courageously fighting for *now" rather than
waiting for things to get that bad again.
Do you mean wall-mount I'm general, or do you mean wall-mounting with no gap between the chassis and the wall?

Because if you allow a gap, there are plenty of VESA-compatible mounting kits that solve the problem.
What were the last three things that you discovered in your editor?
Shinzo Abe was a far right nationalist racist and Japan War Crimes negationist. He inserted revisionist propaganda in history school manuals.

He was generally anti foreigners, anti equal rights.

He was a member of the crazy nationalist cult Nippon Kaigai that wants a return to the prewar status of the godly emperor and profess Japanese Yamato's pure race superiority. Look that up.

Wikipedia :

"Shinzo Abe [0] was affiliated with the openly ultranationalist organization Nippon Kaigi (Japan Conference). He was considered a right-wing populist and ultra-conservative within the LDP, and some media and books referred to him as a far-right politician. According to Professor Dominique Tasevski, his legacy can be defined by nationalism, historical revisionism, and a deterioration in Japan-South Korea relations."

"Nippon Kaigi [1] believes that "Japan should be applauded for liberating much of East Asia from Western colonial powers; that the 1946–1948 Tokyo War Crimes tribunals were illegitimate; and that killings by Imperial Japanese troops during the 1937 Nanjing Massacre were exaggerated or fabricated". The group vigorously defends Japan's claim in its territorial dispute over the Senkaku Islands with China, and denies that Japan forced the "comfort women" during World War II. Nippon Kaigi is opposed to feminism, LGBT rights, and the 1999 Gender Equality Law."

If you're eating anything with oats grown in the US, especially things like Cheerios, you're likely getting a big dose of glyphosate. They spray this on the oats to kill and dessicate them prior to harvest to prevent the crop from being ruined by rain.
Oracle was the best think to happen to Sun in 2010. You have to understand the market dynamics at UNIX vendors at that point. Look around. There are zero UNIX server vendors any more.
Checking the extent of MVP is not really preventing or treating MVP, is it? The echo isn't preventing the mitral valve prolapse, it is also not an intervention - it is a diagnostic tool to guide further intervention. Yes, this could be considered a type of tertiary prevention - but hopefully it should also be clear how this is more usefully classified as diagnostic. Pretty much all medical care is to some extent preventive, even reducing the broken arm - so it becomes a meaningless word if it is loosely defined as any intervention that can potentially prevent sequelae. That means it’s ultimately going to be defined with some restrictive set of criteria. Is the US ACA definition very restrictive, yes, but that’s how it is.

Ejection fraction is not a disease, but let's call it heart failure. An echo evaluating for heart failure is a good example where we can use it as a diagnostic tool to prevent further progression - but again through other interventions - and if we're evaluating for abnormal ejection fraction we haven't prevented it.

Another example might be evaluating for a shunt to prevent stroke. However we don't routinely screen everyone for this.

Echo for inherited cardiomyopathies is a good example of primary or secondary prevention.

There are definitions within medicine that matter for defining appropriate use criteria, but all this preventive vs palliative is arguing loose semantics - the people you’re up against have already put in place the policy to avoid most of that.
Wind (Freedom) wasn't simply acquired. It was hampered and restricted by existing Canadian laws to do with foreign ownership.
While this is certainly believable, I think it's merely a symptom of a larger cultural shift towards sensationalism. Rephrased, I think that large swathes of the human population have been conditioned over the last couple of decades to perceive "fact" as "dull."

Some might frame this as a chicken-and-egg issue: did the media outlets feed our instinctive bias towards flashy-shiny-blinky-zoomy, or did our natural bias pull the media outlets in that direction? At the end of the day, however, it seems likely that it was probably both; the addiction demands ever-increasing dosage and so on.

The better question, to me, is this: do we, as individuals, have an ethical or moral responsibility to condition ourselves to be more appreciative of bland fact, for the sake of the species as a whole? Are cold, boring facts like broccoli for our brains?
The one thing I did not like about the Lemur Pro is its odd and extremely tiny arrow keys. That made it impossible to use, given that I touch type and rely on motor memory for typing.

Most of the time this is quite neglible because the Lemur machine I have is tied to a mechanical keyboard and a desktop. But when I have to lug it around it can be quite annoying for serious, long-form work.
Didn't Microsoft basically immediately clarify that the new policy is only meant to target developers with no affiliation with a project who are lazily repackaging open-source apps and trying to make a quick buck?

Edit: Yeah, see https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/08/microsoft_store_open_...:

> In response, Sardo, who oversees the Microsoft Store, insisted Microsoft is just trying to prevent abusive store listings, like app clones.

> "We absolutely want to support developers distributing successful OSS apps," he said. "In fact there are already fantastic OSS apps in the Store! The goal of this policy is to protect customers from misleading listings."

> Sardo said Microsoft would review the policy language to make sure its intent is clear.
I agree. When I started at my first internship, one of the developers (and now a close friend) put layers of tape over the arrow keys so I couldn't use them. Took a week of pain and then I never went back.
This is such an awesome book. I was delighted when it came back into print a few years ago.

They're naturally occurring.

We usually try to create rules of trade and property rights that prevent things like famine and violent conflict. This is because certain sets of rules would inevitably lead to these things. What rules produce the most stability and health are not known, figuring those out is a process of discovery, it is not up to people which rules work and which rules don't because what actually works with regard to distribution of resources depends on how the natural world works.
LGV Sud-Est, France's first and Europe's most used HS line, sees 240 trains/day/direction, with a capacity of 13 trains/hr, to be improved to 16 tr/hr in 2030. It's a trunk line with many different service patterns though, mostly linking Paris to southern destinations.
old news from may
I actually took stress-management class at an old job. It was taught by 3 actual psychologists studying stress and it's effects on people.

The main thing I retained from that was that your body has power over your mind.

I, for example, tend to _always_ grab my phone when waiting for the elevator. Now, as per their instructions, I take 3 deep breaths first and then grab the phone.

It's amazing how much that changes the way you use it. You relax a bit and don't get the urge to doomscroll on Twitter or Reddit.

It also shows you how bad you are at breathing. Modern humans tend to breathe fast and shallow and it signals "emergency" to your body. Deep breathing or box breathing completely changes your mindset. No need to do any fancy mindfulness or meditation, just breathe.

The trope of the two overlapping discs that tells you that someone is using binoculars could be replaced with this when the director wants to emphasize some subjective aspect.

Ah yes, the book that many of the best rocket engineering quotes come from. I've always been partial to this one:

“It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.”

There are many ways that don't require that much more effort. For instance plastic covering the field will clean up a field. But that's a tiny bit more work then just spraying and poisoning everything. Of course the GMO crops that are bred to be glysophate resistant are even more convenient

Serial production stopped in the 1980s. The US lost the economies of scale of it's nuclear industry, so plants built after that experienced higher costs. That, plus misinformation about the safety and environmental impact of nuclear power.
People don’t care because they don’t understand all the implications of them being tracked. And that’s why I think it’s important that Apple is looking out for the average joe making sure their privacy is protected. Regulation is catching up, slowly but it’s finally taking a stand against companies tracking users and selling their data.

In 10 years from now people will be more privacy aware. See how much impact has had the “ask app not to track”. Things will only get worse for companies like FB.

Unless they find a better way to monetize their users, things will only get worse for companies like FB/Meta.

No metaverse will save them.
Everyone's talking about the laptop, but are you all not impressed that System76 is doing so well? I didn't think they'd be around this long, but I am pleasantly surprised and quite impressed they keep pumping out good stuff. I don't need a new computer yet but with Lenovo gradually decaying, I'm glad there's a fresh face on the block.
I get a very different sense from the reading of his comments to users; curt and inconsiderate. He tends to make declarations about behavior that sound objective but are really just his very casual read of a situation, and there’s no appeal or redress possible.

Additionally, he tends to favor the original aggressor, ignoring the concept of instigation to fix the proximate cause of the negative interactions here. Don’t get caught punching second, in other words.

It’s classic utilitarianism; if 1% of users get shat upon by dang, and 99% in any way benefit from his negative behavior, I suppose the folks here would be alright with that?
The libertarian movement got co-opted just like the Republican Party. They got brainwashed by Ailes and company.
Yep, mostly agree.

If the calc is materially off though, I can see a decision potentially going against them. To be clear, to me 7% wouldn't be materially off. 30% would and a reasonable person may decide they must have or should have known the 5% number was misleading. The SEC might, although I'm not sure if them deciding that would be enough.
> Do vim users know if there was anything like Select next occurrence in vim?

As noted in a sibling, you can press * (shift+8) in normal mode with your cursor over a word to find the next instance of the word. This also updates the search pattern so you can use n and shift+n to navigate forward and back between matches.

If you combine this with other bits of the vim "grammar" (which I do think encourages a kind of feature discovery, although I agree there's a large learning "hump" to get over to take advantage of it), you can use something like cgn to change the currently-focused search match, n to navigate to the next search match, and . to replay the command.

So while it's not exactly the same as multi-cursor, you can achieve something very similar (and just as fast) with the following sequence:

1. In normal mode, place the cursor over the symbol you wish to edit
2. Press key: \* (read: "find the next occurrence of the current symbol and update the search pattern to be that string")
3. Press keys: cgn (read: "change the search match under the cursor")
4. Type the new symbol
5. Press ESC to return to normal mode
6. Press keys: n. (read "find the next occurrence of the search pattern [set in step 2] and repeat the last command [the edit from steps 3-5]")
7. Repeat 6 until all symbols are replaced

Or, in raw keystrokes, I might replace all six "foo"s in a document with "bar" by typing the following sequence of characters (having placed the cursor over a "foo"): *cgnbar<ESC>n.n.n.n.n.

It may seem complex compared to something like multi-cursor editing, but the nice thing here is that there are concepts here that are extensible beyond the scope of that specific edit, and can yield similar "speedy" workflows but on a much wider set of tasks.

- c[something] is a pattern that means "change [the given region]", so you could construct similar commands with different regions (`ciw` to change inside the current word, `ca{` to change the current curly-bracketed region (inclusive), and so on)

- [something]gn is a pattern that means "[do something] to the next search match", so you could delete it with `dgn`.

- . can replay many types of commands, so if I have a more complex sequence of edits to apply starting at a search match, I could do that too (not just simply replacing the symbol).

It's a very powerful paradigm.
Do people not realize that Microsoft themselves produce a Linux distribution for Azure (both a cloud and IoT distro)? Microsoft has a lot of incentives to keep the Linux ecosystem thriving and folks like Poettering employed and working on systemd, etc.

In 1961, 13 years prior to being sold by Monsanto to kill weeds, Glyphosate was patented in the U.S. as a Descaling and Chelating Agent by the Stauffer Chemical Co.

In 2010, Monsanto patented Glyphosate as an antibiotic.

Take a moment to consider that if CLR (a brand name that removes Calcium and Lime from metal pipes) were discovered to be a weedkiller, your sons or daughters would have this same conversation in a decade or two about CLR in their urine.

You can substitute trace plutonium, anthrax, or anything else for CLR in the above paragraph.
Same here. I was raised on Apple screens, 80x25 EGA and VT100 terminals in the 70's & 80's, so I find ligatures to be wildly annoying and error prone, as well as nonportable: having to mentally switch back and forth on different terminals or code UIs is jarring.

> JavaScript is reliant on typescript

How is Javascript reliant on Typescript? I've written an enormous volume of Javascript without ever having touched Typescript.
He’s right you know. Microsoft is getting very creative with their extinguishing on the open-source community.

This is just one of many ways of doing it. They are getting so clever at it, not many have seem to have noticed but instead played along and thought it was all fine, until the complaints finally came in.

Did anybody actually read the article? It is clear FUD.

It's just a minor policy change on the Microsoft Store which says you can't create an "app" for a free open source product as if it's your own. So, you can't create an app of Ubuntu Linux and charge $5 for every download on the Microsoft Store.

Reasonable. Sound.
What’s the use case for this disjoint selection?
I once tried to migrate from VS Code to Neovim. I use TypeScript at work, and use many languages for my side projects.

But the worst part was making Vim provide with things that you'd expect programming editors to have. So many options, what's best is up to opinion, integrating language servers, getting intellisense to work as you would expect, searching the project folder for file names.

Then I realized that all I'm trying to do is make Neovim behave like VS Code with the extra addition of keyboard navigation, which I can get behind. But at my current career level I'd rather spent those 5-10 hours configuring an editor in learning more about <insert whatever language/framework I'm learning>.

I mean, just another Vim introduction when you already have the free options (vimtutor etc.) and FEM's "Vim Fundamentals" won't fix my pains with getting it to work as I'm expecting it to work.
Unless I'm wrong, my understanding is that Java is just kind of a bad language. What makes C# great is how heavily it has leaned towards functional programming.

Java, As far as I understand, is still very object-oriented and very clumsy.

Kotlin, as far as I understand, fixes those issues.
Looking at some of the other headlines from this guy's Substack (e.g. "Linus threatens to punish developers by including Rust in the kernel") he seems like a total crank and not worth taking seriously.
In reference to the part where he talks about wanting it to be easier to create 3d models in biology - the complexity of organic molecules is very, very high. Not only are they complex, but they change shape a lot. In fact, the more realistic a 3d representation of an organic molecule is, the less likely that it would help you actually understand it. Microbiology is messy.
It really needs a non-dark theme for those of us who can't use a dark theme.
Why must you keep track of changes? No one is forcing you to figure out how to use things.

It’s nice for power users. I know many people who essentially use vsc as notepad++, and that’s okay. I also know people that drool over change logs and excitedly talk about new features over lunch.

Both are okay, and it’s a spectrum. Use what you think is helpful.
Not quite - the screenshots being circulated show an account with a different name that visually looks quite similar. Instead of a lowercase `l`, the suspended account has an uppercase `I`. In many fonts, these end up looking quite similar.
