What happens if we assume that 30-50% of the dead athletes have had covid at one point in the last two years? Do we start assuming covid is like kicking due to drinking too many red bulls? Or, that the dead are only from the vaxed but not infected group? There’s no way of getting around the presence of covid so you have to determine “was vaxed” or “had covid” or “both” to your dataset.
Our government can't enforce rules on foreign owned websites, but they can force ISP's to block them.
It's also interesting that Tony West, Uber's current Chief Legal Officer, is the brother-in-law of US VP Kamala Harris. The political connections of this company are something to behold.

That said, I consider ridesharing apps better than traditional taxis.

Would've agreed if it wasn't for proteins as a macro which have been suddenly forgotten in its entirety.

Even if you're not working out, your body still craves proteins. Neglecting this is dangerous
Dependency Injection is its own form of "too much time fiddling with props". It's just implicitly handled "magic" and you don't appreciate the time you spend fiddling with it because it seems "automatic" up until that point you need to spend an entire week unmangling a set of NgModules to fix a code-splitting problem. (Or you don't and watch your bundle sizes increase exponentially and assume "that's just the Angular way: huge bundles".) Which is its own performance management headache.

I do wish that there was a larger culture of TS usage in the larger React ecosystem. But also I'm still comfortable writing my @types/ modules in DefinitelyTyped if I absolutely need to and want to contribute that work to others. That's generally a good recommendation, if you find an untyped React component check the DT issue tracker for it and post a request if there's isn't already an open one. A couple of "Hacktoberfests" I've contributed @types for requests on there, and I know there are others that are watching it more than just once every October or so.

Standard Angular Input/Output bindings are some of my problems with Angular. It's a worst of both worlds situation where some things use RxJS and other things use imperative proxies and the performance weirdness of Zone.js and the weird things it does to Promises and RxJS.

I also personally don't like the template language. I think it was a terrible mistake that the template language uses .HTML file extensions. I think that sends too many designers a false sense of security with the template language and I've had to correct so many things.

> somehow performance was never a problem

Everyone has different performance considerations. I still have a tree-shake and keep bundles as small as possible mindset. I also developed a lot of skills doing performance work in RxJS on Cycle.js projects and redux-observable "sagas" on the React side (and RX backends in C#/.NET). So I notice a lot more things to nitpick than the average casual RxJS user. That's a big reason I keep referring to how Angular uses it as a "pit of failure": it sets up casual RxJS users and junior developers to have a bad performance time, and in some cases not realize that they have bad performance. The biggest for instance are very slow memory leaks that will never impact a developer in the middle of an edit/compile/debug cycle because the app never runs for long enough at a time in that cycle (and the developer often has plenty of RAM anyway compared to the average user), but absolutely will drive end users crazy when they have to hard refresh the tab every few hours/minutes and neither the user or the developer will understand why that performance problem exists.

The blog post is here: http://blog.worldmaker.net/2021/06/26/angular/

This is my open source library attempting to wrangle some RxJS best practices out of Angular component design and its standard Inputs/Outputs/Template Bindings: https://worldmaker.net/angular-pharkas/
But the order of attributes in the presentation of the result relation has nothing to do with physical layout of base relvars -- primarily because any relationship between the two is purely coincidental. The vast majority of useful queries will not reuse the order of attributes in base relvars, so optimizing for the unusual trivial case by prohibiting better rearrangements that could be useful for a much larger number of use cases seems rather pointless.

And what PostgreSQL does is of course an implementation detail of PostgreSQL.
On a related note, Foreflight integrates really well with MSFS and when you combine that with PilotEdge it's a great learning tool. Works with Prepar and X-Plane too.
If I understand this correctly, the exchange rate changes are more related to rate hikes in US and the amount of dollar based debt.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_debt_of_India#Currenc...

Plus US is one of India's larger trade partners (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_trading_pa...) where payments will be USD.

I can't see this having a huge shift on the exchange rate, but hope to see it stabilize soon.
I don't think you've really experienced online abuse.

If you get in an argument with someone and they start saying nasty things, then it's simple to disengage. You just stop replying and you don't go back to the thread. In this scenario, your comment makes sense, but you should count yourself very lucky if this is the worst you've experienced.

Personally, I pissed off a cult leader and she sent her followers to harass me. They used email and social networks, among other methods, to send me regular messages accusing me of all sorts of horrible things. If I followed your suggestion of "stop reading them" it would mean I no longer check my email or social networks...

For those inexperienced with these matters, it may seem like I can just block the messages, but in many cases that's near impossible. A "professional" abuser knows all about VPNs and will just keep creating new email addresses.
I would be interested in why Uber got so bad compared to traditional cabs.

In Spain they forbid all this stuff because they sold cab licenses, but the prices are abusive.
I was in Bend a few months ago and swung by the last Blockbuster. I rented a movie (and bought a t-shirt), and had to sign up for an account. I received a laminated paper Blockbuster card with an account number scrawled in Sharpie on the back. I wouldn't have guessed that the store was still calling out to these old servers; that's pretty cool.

The movie cost 99 cents to rent, which I thought was surprisingly cheap. The clerks were talking about how people come in to take pictures (no surprise there) and were usually inconsiderate about including the clerks in photos.

It smelled exactly the same in there. It was neat.
Try volunteering and being around those less fortunate than you. I volunteered once at a cancer center for a summer and being around ppl who literally have a few months to live really does make you put everything in perspective.
The problem is that the "reformers" were trying to go back to the previous paradigm. They thought that putting in expensive electronics and radar into the F-16 was a waste and that instead it should rely on guns. They loathed the M-1 Abrams and instead called for a return to the M60's for which they could buy 3 for every one. They advocated for effectively a return to WW2 style of things, generally having a distaste for technological developments which have since arrived. The Gulf War with America's high tech superiority completely and utterly refuted their core thesis and they're basically considered jokes who in their late years would show up on Russia Today to spout the same nonsense they previously had against now battle proven systems but this time about the F-35.
Some of my very few pleasant experiences were in Japan. I don't doubt that Singapore would be fine too but public transit was generally faster there so I never took a cab.

London definitely has a better standard of cars and service, but they will still try to take longer routes and play games with you if you're obviously a tourist. Definitely better than most places though, their standards for cabbie training are very high.
This was my discovery as well. Keto, at its core, amounts to optimizing for satiety. Typically that takes the form of increasing fat intake, and progressively lowering carb intake. For most people, this results in fewer calories ingested, as fats + protein heavy diets make it hard to overeat. I burned through my excess weight rapidly: maybe 2-3lb a week IIRC?

After that, it changes to figuring out how many net carbs you need. I've found that this amount changes and is not a hard and fast rule. When I started keto, I aimed for 20g total (I don't recommend that low). Now, it is more like 50-100g. There's also the mental shift: carbs are not bad, they're just a tool.

The thing that feels most unfair is once your body gets to a lower weight, you're accustomed to eating less, and you've 'reset' things, I found I had a lot of leeway in what I could get away with, diet-wise.
Your post is why I don't want to "settle down". I am just going to feel stuck and then take it out on my wife and kids for limiting my options. Good luck!
IIRC a study made it on here once (a couple years ago, maybe?) that boiled down to "we're fat because modern, affordable, low-or-zero-prep food tastes too good and is too varied"

One of my not-well-backed suspicions is that this is closest to the truth of any of the various attempts to explain this.
Classical asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA and ECDSA (which Bitcoin uses) can be easily broken by a quantum computer. Brute-forcing symmetric algorithms like AES gets a speed up on a quantum computer, but not enough to consider the algorithms broken.
People and companies are guaranteed the right to say whatever they like given it’s true. You can’t opt out of being reviewed.
So where can I buy EV batteries at those prices? Im interested in 20-30 to start with, Ill send my own lorries to pick them up.
You are experiencing normal human ambition. It’s natural to want more.

The important things I’ve done to make myself feel more satisfied in my life are:

- Be grateful for the things you have. Write about them in a journal, talk about them with your spouse, etc.
- Give back. Donate money to a cause you care about, get your hands dirty volunteering, do something to make the world a little better.
- Recognize that you’ll never be 100% satisfied and that’s OK. Continue moving up in your career, invest in keeping your relationships strong, etc. Don’t get lazy.

Great quote

"Computationally, like in real life, if you don't trust the people that
you're working with, you have to spend a lot more energy to achieve the
same things," he explains. "If I'm living with you in the same house and
we don't trust each other, I have to, every time before I leave my house,
I hide my valuables... It's so much energy that I have to use just to
exist in a room with you, because I don't trust you."

I've been thinking about this book

https://www.amazon.com/SPEED-TRUST-Thing-Changes-Everything/...

which is likely to provoke a lot of eye-rolling but points out the consequences of a "trustless society" will be everything being expensive and slow.
> I budget for at least 6× estimated implementation cost

How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?
Agreed -- the last couple of times flying home I've found very few, or no Ubers or Lyfts available near the airport (particularly later at night) but plenty of clean, new-ish cabs (mostly hybrid vehicles) waiting with modern payment systems and yes, cheaper! I had also noticed a significant decline in the quality of the Lyft/Uber cars and actually I haven't used a Lyft or Uber in probably a year now.
> substantially below median intelligence and work ethic to make a very nice living with little more than token effort as is the case in software

I disagree that you can make a nice living room with "substantially below median intelligence" in software. Getting into FAANG+ is hard and plenty of people never even finish their degree or get a related job.

I think you have no idea what people with "substantially below median intelligence" are like.
It ensured not only consistency of style, but also consistency of ideas. Every file was structured similarly, impedance mismatches were minimized, work across the entire code base was organized and unified. Junior engineers got a chance to talk to the principle developer about every commit they made, and accordingly their abilities as software engineers skyrocketed.

Developers quickly set their IDEs to follow the team's coding guidelines, style wasn't really a problem.
Being able to specify a language outside an implementation is extremely useful to prevent hidden logical inconsistencies between different parts of the language, and makes the language more robust.

It also allows people to design new backends (looking at CUDA LLVM backends)by finding out the right abstraction to support performance. For example, implementing a C or C++ compatible CUDA backend required the C++ committee to make changes to the memory model / consistency guarantees of C++ atomics.
If C or C++ had only depended on compiler implementation for it, then there would have just been different implementations with different guarantees with no consistencies between them, and no single way to even define why they were different.

Right, potatoes and vegetable oil is basically a very-low-protein diet.
There are guides online, but electric ignition "electric matches" for model rockets are available if you don't want to make your own.
NYC probably had more indie rental stores around just because of the population density. In my suburb, Blockbuster had already wiped them out in the 90's.
This seems highly unlikely to me.

I have reactive hypoglycemia, and can say that potatoes spike my blood glucose levels more than table sugar - they have a really high glycemic index, and anyone with blood sugar issues should totally avoid them IMO.

And the thing about foods with a high glycemic index is that they cause you to feel hungry when your blood sugar rapidly drops back to baseline.

I find protein and fat way more satiating than, well, anything else. For example, eat 2 eggs for breakfast and I guarantee you won't even think a out food again until lunch time, if not dinner time.
It's on brand for Uber. Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons in the worst way. Really pushing the limits of the ends justifying the means.
No, no, and no. Aptera is a scam that went bankrupt twice now, and is owned by some Chinese company at this point. Every single EV with solar panels was either scam or a marketing gimmick.

> I think we all forget though just how poor the quality was back then

I don’t think anyone has forgotten how crappy VHS was/is.

At least with vinyl, the sound quality was good even if the medium was bulky. But VHS just sucked in every way imaginable. Even in the 80s I hated VHS. It was the best we had but it always felt like a game of chance whether your recordings worked. I don’t miss a single thing about recording and playing video back then.

> The only problem has been keeping up with resolution changes

A lot of the time content is just upscaled rather than remastered anyway. Particularly with TV shows but plenty of “HD” movies were just upscaled from DVDs rather than remastered from the original film rolls.
Why would you expect the internet to be governed by different laws to in-person behaviour?

Because you can't instantly erase someone from your perception in person to person interaction. Online you can even proactively protect yourself, such as by adding words and phrases you don't like to your blocklist. Suppose I decide I don't ever want to interact with someone who still uses the word "retard". My computer can preemptively block those people on my Twitter, my email, even pages containing the word on my browser. It takes only seconds to wipe entire categories of people and opinion from every facet of your online experience.
I'm not convinced of their recent statements. My internet connection was flakey for over a week, and it got progressively worse until the blackout. After a day and a half, we got our Internet back, but the connection was way more flakey than it ever was (the router constantly disconnecting, then reconnecting after a pause).

Suddenly today it is working flawlessly, with no disconnects. That suggests, to me at least, whatever they fixed, fixed a weeks-old problem. Not a since-Sunday problem.
Ah, a Lisp user. Common Lisp is Exhibit A for standardization. Every Lisp user claims it is great because of either standardization of advanced features in the days when the Berlin Wall has barely fallen or the mere existence of macros. No real first-party improvement to the language in almost three decades after ANSI standardisation. Massive fragmentation in the compiler ecosystem, rarely do libraries work out of the box on non-SBCL tooling. Yes, I can definitely see the advantage of standardization now, very much so.
Hi, it's me, the tinkerer and not a dude, incidentally. :)

Some people just like having fun messing around and learning things themselves. I will take a cursory look into RetroArch though ~
I did and would recommend. It shows you the impact of foods in your blood glucose and made it easier to convince myself and change my behavior.

Some lessons I got from using it for 2 months (these are personal, some should apply to most people):

- Plantains cause a BIG glucose spike (I thought they didnt; in my case even more than pasta or rice)

- Walking ~10min after a meal removes the glucose spike of even pretty large meals

- Intense exercise before (duh) removes the glucose spike of any meal, even with big desert/ice cream

- Eating veggies (or taking fiber pills) before a meal removes the glucose spike of most meals

Some of these things I had read about online, but seeing the impact live on my own blood glucose made the lessons stick.
This happened over a year ago if I remember correctly so I suspect the government has already sold a lot of it.
I had the same issues with airport trips and taxis, frequently having to build in an extra 1-2 hours on top of the typical airport buffer to make sure I'd get there. So many no-shows, empty promises, and lies by dispatch. So many scams, fare spiking, outright hostility, and shenanigans from drivers.

I signed up for Uber after a panicked morning in Denver with 2 no-showing taxis. Never looked back after that, though I use Lyft 90% of the time now.

I have no tears at all for anyone involved in the taxi industry.
Well, sure, in practice someone who actually knows what they're doing also won't cause problems, even if they do happen to be the vehicle's owner. I assume these signs are so popular because just about every mechanic thinks they're funny, and they think they're funny because they have all seen bad versions of these kinds of customers, probably a lot, and likely far more than they see any kind of good version of these.
I wonder if you subconsciously crave more contact with your colleagues and clients. Perhaps try to up this over a few weeks see how you feel after.
Perhaps perversely, your comment is almost, but not quite, enough to push me to make a second run at it. I mean, I goddamned know CL is better. :) Cheers!

I've pondered what strange reasons might lurk in the depths of me psyche that could be inhibiting from using Lisp.
There has been enough uncertainty--on both the Musk and Twitter ends--for the banks to have several legitimate reasons to "blow up his financing."

Per Levine:

But it’s messy, and you can sort of see a path to “Musk says the deal is off, so his banks walk away, so his financing isn’t available, so he doesn’t have to close the deal and can get away with just paying $1 billion.”

And the "Musk says the deal is off" part doesn't even have to enter into it. The banks could come, independently, to a last-minute change of opinion on his collateral--whatever that was for this deal.

When it comes to "sued into oblivion by their own shareholders", who exactly are they? ETFs & mutual funds, of which Twitter is only a fraction of a sliver of their portfolio? CIA/DOD "dark money", stirring up foreigners (& domestics!) against "rogue" regimes (i.e. "arab spring")? Large shareholders (like Saudi, or hedgies), who were the ones giving the board up-to-the-minute instruction on how to (mis)handle the Musk offer in the first place?

Twitter has been a propaganda asset for a long time. The large stake-holders surely understand that they have far more to lose in discovery & cross-examination than Elon's offer. I am talking Snowden-tier revelations here.
Lack of enough sun exposure is also a major health concern. We may look younger but we are far more obese.

On the GCC side, there are no plans to stop supporting building applications using Clang and libstdc++ (that is, using the libstdc++ installed headers and the GCC-built libraries/shared objects). Therefore, a question mark next to libc++ doesn't necessarily threaten the long-term viability of Clang as a C++ compiler. (I assume your Abseil comment is actually about libc++.)
It has been 20 months on carnivore. I never made it past a year on the others, and it was a strain to go that far. Doing this is no strain. If protein alone has this effect it is more than a mild advantage for me.

I did not start from a standard american diet this time, but from a clean keto diet, so yes carnivore was an elimination diet for me, but what I eliminated was vegetables, fruits, cheese, etc. For me those eliminations seem to be providing an advantage.
I used to worry about never being satisfied. Then I hit some burnout where I had no ambition and was depressed. It is much better to keep wanting more. Wanting more means you are alive and motivated. Nurture and continue to enjoy that feeling.

Do you really believe that the obesity epidemic was caused by people eating 90% carbohydrate diets?

The "high carb meals" at McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut... are all also (and more per calorie) high in fat.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to your mixed-green salad? That has turned into a high fat salad. Most people cannot avoid cheese or nuts on salad, either.

Eating the potato diet with sour cream/butter/cheese: High fat.
Notebook from Y Combinator Startup School
I didn't realise this until going through JFK recently. Cabs: no wait, fixed price, professional driver. Uber: long wait, twice as expensive, driver and car a complete crap-shoot.

Feels like the economies of scale only work when you own the taxi fleet itself. I.e. you have dedicated mechanics etc etc. As soon as the consumer has to pay the true price of a taxi ride, Uber crumbles. There's another world in which Uber was a whitelabel app for cab firms, making millions but certainly not worth billions (so, making millions rather than losing billions!).
