Of course they can, I don't see anyone debating that point. Dr. Makary actually spent part of his career working _against_ profit-seeking doctors and predatory hospitals. I'm not sure why you're bringing that up in the first place, unless you have some specific bone to pick with him, and if you do I'm curious what it is. What you're saying is just as misdirected as if we were talking about engineers and I pointed out that they can be literally paid to write bad code, they are neither infallible nor perfect, and can just as easily be paid to say untrue things as anyone else.

>It would be, but from the other side (e.g. Dr Fauci anyone?)

You've actually illustrated my point very well here. What I'm saying is that it's great that places like HN are largely able to discuss public health at face value, rather than through the Red v. Blue lens that most Americans insist on reducing things to. Unfortunately, as soon as you accuse "the other side" of doing just about anything, your intentions are revealed, the water is muddied, and the discussion becomes useless.

I've known very active cyclists that couldn't lose weight despite riding hundred mile rides weekly. In my youth, I could eat anything and do nothing and not suffer the consequences. I definitely fit the "run hot" part but I was the plate-cleaner in my family and didn't really stop eating like that until I was in my late 30s and suddenly started gaining weight.

Unless you work for the government. I fell for the free enterprise shtick, hook, line, and sinker, but everyone with a good government job did better than me. I’m talking, $150k to $200k PENSIONS in two cases. Even the divorced secretary of my thesis advisor at Berkeley did better!

I’m not complaining, I did fine. But by going into private enterprise, I gave up the ability to tax the American people directly for my sustenance. I didn’t understand that.
and because that statically linked runtime does a lot of things, it contains a lot of code and adds a megabyte or two to the final WASM product: https://dev.bitolog.com/minimizing-go-webassembly-binary-siz...

Larger runtimes not only add bloat to the final WebAssembly, but they also can make interoperating harder because they often require more (i.e. any) bookkeeping when sending stuff back and forth.

also worth mentioning is that this is why people build projects like TinyGo and MicroPython – they love the language, but can't work with the trade-offs that the designers chose

I've been using Toradex as well lately because of the pin compatibility. Apalis and Colibri are pretty solid products. Kind of makes me wish the SOM standardization movement hadn't fizzled out because that might have made some of the supply issues less problematic. Or maybe not.

Also, the SODIMM connector is long in the tooth and gives off a shitton of RF radiation especially when you're driving an LCD over the rails. But the alternatives like the Hirose mezz connectors aren't optimal either.

NXP/Freescale's kernel isn't the greatest but at least they try to get close to mainline. TI gets a thumbs up as well.
> First, let's be clear that it's not the people who are problematic, it's their (our) behavior.

That's a good point, I phrased that poorly.

> In light of the information in the article the obvious thing to do is curtail the emissions of the wealthy first to buy us time to enact more comprehensive mitigations.

My understanding is that these targets are already meant to buy us enough time to get to net-zero emissions. I.e. that we're already at the point where we need comprehensive mitigations, and the time to buy more time was a decade ago.

> but the low-hanging fruit is in the orchards of the ultra-wealthy.

I think the truth of that statement depends on the angle you view it from. They have the most impactful per-capita changes to make for sure. I think enforcing those rules on them will also be the most difficult. They have the money and ability to re-flag ships, or to buy fuel from countries with lower regulations, or etc.

I think it will take a global framework to enforce those rules on the ultra-wealthy, which takes a long time. If we wait for that to happen to start enforcing the rules on everyone, we're definitely not going to hit our Paris Accord numbers on time.

Makes some amount of sense to do it this way, since that probably means you get things like adjusting the font size or launching accessibility tools bundled in with the graphical frontend + conhost instance. Otherwise that stuff would have to be reimplemented for a 'true console only' mode

Imagine all of those minds that went into oil extraction and where else they could have been better spent over the years. I know turbines really leveraged computer models to achieve such stunning efficiency, but in all honesty I don't think it would have taken much past the 70s for us to have achieved nuclear / renewables at similar energy output as oil / gas at the same timeframe if we didn't have the shortcut available for so long.
Yes, but "traditional diets" for who? An Inuit? A Mediterranean farmer? A Sri Lankin Indian?

Our traditional diets changes our genetics, so who you are will determine what is healthy for you.

I agree with the statin. They tried to force them on me. I took a look at my genetics, changes my diet accordingly, and LDL and HDL reversed in three weeks and I have the blood work to prove it.

This seems to be a common trait across the political spectrum in Russia. The darling of the west, Alexei Navalny, is just as nationalist and xenophobic, and while he doesn't compare people from the Caucasus as trash, he did compare them to vermin that need to be exterminated in his TV ads.

In Russian, there's a distinction between русские (ethnical Russians) and россияне (Russian nationals/citizens) which doesn't map to English well - it's Russians either way in it. This slogan implies the former (ethnical Russians), and was declared extremist long ago, for a reason.

This distinction is a very frequent source of misunderstanding for both native speakers and English speakers, as Russians might hear one where you imply another, and vice versa.
Thanks for the response.

We considered starting with the raw queries and adding apis later, but unfortunately it just didn't make sense for us as it was ultimately less effort to just use our existing SSR rails views and we wouldn't have to dedicated more resources to augmenting internal tools even more, or managing the extra infrastructure needed for appsmith (hosted solution on other infrastructure was not an option unfortunately) - we don't use mongodb so adding it (for the appsmith datastore) to our infra was not something we really wanted to do either.

We did decide to revisit in the future as we are building some distributed services and appsmith might be a better fit then when we need to build a unified UI for all of our services.
And we get off easy compared to the rest of the world.
4k+ per day of junk food from ages ~15-20. Then I had to knock it off because I stopped being able to do that while staying trim (got fat fast, and I really was trim before). Which is probably just as well because that wasn't healthy anyway.

Dunno where it was all going. I wasn't really getting much bigger or taller for most of that span.
They can intentionally mess up the trial, or refuse to prosecute. There are people who get swept up in some old but reopened case investigation launched by a DA that wants to look tough. Trail might have died 10 years ago with essentially an acquittal, but it can be set up so it can be reopened at any point.
It seems like the study used metabolic rate (energy/time unit) and thyroid activity, not body temperature. That being said, metabolic rate probably correlates with body temperature, but that's not clear.

What's interesting is that these people kept a high metabolic rate while doing less activity. It's almost like, if you rest more, your body will have the energy to increase its metabolic rate, or it could be totally physiological and it depends on the person.
When comparing js and wasm, one thing people rarely mention is that with js, you get built-in functions/runtime (without crossing the boundary and then getting language mismatch).
When "reimplementing" that functionality in wasm, it will add a good amount to binary size. Just a hashmap will add a decent bit.
Not to say there aren't uses, but js comes with some advantages.
Similar to his theory, I've noticed that for there to be a great achievement by the protagonist, there has to be a great suffering first. Once I noticed this pattern, it has ruined a lot of shows for me. I can't sympathize with characters, because I know this is just part of the formula and they will soon be achieving greatness.
Yah, I timed out my sleep cycles and it's about 90 minutes for me. Sometimes Fitbit and similar devices can show people this as well, but it's not always accurate (it was another confirmation for me rather than the primary way I determined the cycle length). And you are correct (and I encourage others to figure their cycle out), if I wake up on the cycle break (for me, 3/4.5/6/7.5/9) I am much less foggy and sleep inertia is reduced than when I wake in the middle of the cycle.

Another way to try to wake at the proper point is an alarm that gradually increases in intensity - you can set it about 30-45 minutes before you have to get up, and if you are already in a wakeful state, you'll hear it when it's low, but at the end it will get loud enough to ensure you get up.

Lastly (and not a shill for Fitbit, it's just the one I use), Fitbit has an alarm feature that will try to detect when you've moved into a light sleep stage and go off then (again, you tell it the latest time you want to wake, and it'll start monitoring 30-45 minutes ahead of that time, and go off when it thinks is optimal).

Long story short, I feel like, while they aren't perfect, we are starting to get some awareness of the importance of sleep cycles and some tools built around that awareness, which is pretty cool.

But now, more seriously, it'd be fun to try to port it to different 6502-based computers. I've been looking for a good excuse to get myself an Apple III or a BBC Master and this seems like a great one. Not all of them will be able to have preemptive multitasking (interrupts aren't always convenient), but it'd still be fun.

Imagine that - in 2023 we could have software that runs unmodified on more than one 6502-based computer...
Fair usage applies :D
What you're missing is:

1) newer generations of bitcoin mining hardware are orders of magnitude more efficient so 3% of hardware isn't 3% of total SHA 256 computational capacity
2) 3% of hardware owned by miners is probably a GPU number. Eth is mined by GPUs, not ASICs.

Hope this helps!

Arguments sent as `[blocks]` are always unevaluated but you can also explictly set a function argument to not be evaluated...

f: func ['a] [
print ["you gave me: " a]
print ["and this is what it evaluates to:" get a]
]

val: "hi!"

f val

Outputs:

you gave me: val
and this is what it evaluates to: hi!

And the function body is mutable...

f: func [a] [
print a
]

f 10 ;; => 10

append second :f [* 2]

f 10 ;; => 20
History repeats itself. The bout of instability that is about to come as a result of this ill-advised, unwinnable war is self-inflicted too.

The Russians could have carried on with the previous hybrid war strategy, buying off politicians in the West, spreading their narratives, not-so-secretly augmenting the strange DNR and LNR entities in their chronic war with Ukraine, helping the Germans and others become ever more dependent on cheap Russian natural gas etc.

But they had to go all in with 200 000 soldiers and try to conquer a big country that hates them and would be uncontrollable even if they actually managed to take it.
"browser and steam" already is going to pull in a huge, huge subset of the functionality included in full Windows. Google has slowly piled huge amounts of stuff into Chrome like support for MIDI, and Steam embeds a bunch of stuff too and has weird features you might not know about (for example, a media player with custom playlist support)

Another thing is that many games rely on older APIs and libraries that are bundled into Windows for compatibility reasons, so if you strip those out to make a slim gaming windows, your games won't work.
I moved to China and had to do it, then after returning back I really didn't miss their services, only Google apps in my phone without gapps are Gtranslate, which I really don't use and have it only just in case, sadly DeepL didn't have comparable app, I use also Gboard (with no internet access in firewall) since it's currently best swipe keyboard and that's it, everything else I use from other companies and find apps from Google inferior, I also use Google search but through my preferred browser (Kiwi in mobile, Vivaldi on desktop).

> I must admit I do not understand the industry, but I don't see why competent studios like Blizzard/BioWare/Id could not simply self-publish their games. What exactly does EA add to the equation? Seems like it would not be a particularly monumental task to cut them out.

I don’t know what it’s like at all for those larger studios, but for smaller studios EA will basically give all this infrastructure to you for free or even pay you to use it if you become a timed exclusive on their platform. I believe they are effectively in the market for buying origin installs to compete with steam.

Counterpoint:

The data that municipalities store is not super sensitive, at worst it contains information about the number of sick days and salary.
If the NSA cares about this data at all, it will probably have other means to obtain it.

On the other hand, the municipalities might now have to spend a lot more taxpayer money to support a worse system that might reduce their efficiency, increasing wait times and frustrations for citizens.
Sure, and we bury spent nuclear fuel and supposedly is a problem according to some groups. If we bury it deep enough, remote enough, and remove access to it, how is it a danger? If the human race loses the ability to read warning signs to stay away, I suspect we've probably lost the ability to tunnel a thousand metres underground as well. It's really not the problem people make it out to be. We have signs around cliffs, electric pylons, and other things with a much higher risk of actual death, and people obey those...

It's like I said in another post, nuclear is held to some mythical higher standard of scrutiny than other forms of energy generation despite it being better in every way except for up-front cost. All the spent nuclear fuel, ever, takes up less volume than the picture in the bbg article.
Secret International Geek and Nerd (SIGN) society rules mandate at least one piece of self 3-D printed jewelry displayed at all times as a "sign" of membership.

Extra geek cred points if the jewelry fluoresces in the dark or serves some other equally nerdy function.

As an example, I wear a fitness tracker wristband with the useless electronics replaced by a 3-D printed insert that securely and secretly holds a 64GB microSD card containing all my essential source code. My backup goes with me everywhere, even the shower.

The empty wristband can be bought from China in various styles and colors for about $1 each.

Came here to say this. I found 'Earth at my school (which was filled with DOS machines, mostly IBM PS/2s), and then learned about 'Tanks through the various resources I had available in the early 90s. I never got to play it in its full glory back then - I only had an A2000 with 1MB chip RAM, so I could only play in 16 colors and (I think) with the half-size maps. It wasn't until UAE that I was actually able to play 64-color full-map 'Tanks like it was meant to be played.

Even still sometimes I fire up Pocket Tanks on my PC, although the overall presentation is a bit watered down compared to Scorched Tanks, the core experience is still there. Would be nice to see a true remake of Scorched Tanks someday.
I've worked on some projects (private and commercial) where embedding Rust into one of those targets was required: iOS, Android, Flutter, macOS, Web. I've played around with a variety of approaches because there exist multiple solutions depending on the platform. Apart from Web/Wasm, where Rust really shines, the next best solution is uniffi by Mozilla, which has quite solid iOS/Android support:

https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs

While this works, the bigger pain (at least on iOS) is that the Rust-Compiler LLVM and Xcode LLVM are not always in sync leading to strange bugs. Also, packaging Rust libraries into a nice XCFramework (or even SPM Module) works, but usually involves hacky shell scripts.

The reason why you'd still want to do this is if there's a Rust library that has no equivalent on the Kotlin or Swift side. There're a lot of good crates / libraries for Rust would require an expensive re-implementation in Swift or Kotlin. Also, because Rust doesn't have a garbage collector, it is easier to embed in garbage collected languages like Kotlin without running into situations where the two garbage collectors don't agree.

Is that really all that different from Python?
Poetry has a major issue with its lockfiles when working with active projects. It generates a top level dependency listing checksum, which causes any two PRs/branches that independently update the top level requirements to conflict with each other.

The related issue, https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/496, has been open for 4 years with no movement.

The other issue with Poetry is that it uses its own pyproject.toml dependency listing format instead of the one standardized in the relevant PEP (https://peps.python.org/pep-0621/). This is understandable for historical reasons (Poetry was first written before this was standardized), but Poetry should have been updated to support the standard format.

A relatively minor issue, but the poetry shell command is also a footgun. It's presented as a way to configure your shell to activate the virtualenv for the project. In reality it's a very slow, barely functional terminal emulator running on top of your terminal, which will cause problems for any programs that assume a working terminal or talk to the tty directly.
