yes, of course. And being told you have $1mm and then later finding out you only have $600k is frustrating and problematic. You can say they should just be happy to have anything at all, and maybe you're right, but basic human psychology doesn't care about what's "right".

I think I understand your point. But, maybe, what you are missing is that the "language Y" is the reason behind multiple "competitive advantages" and cool features behind "Project X".

For instance, Common Lisp is really introspectable. This is the reason why Nyxt is so good for live hackability (inspecting and changing things on the fly).

See the lecture below on the connection between the architecture of Nyxt, the language (Common Lisp), and the features:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUujk1vjnYM&t=20s

Obs.: the lecture was after Nyxt 1.0 and before Nyxt 2.0 release. Take into account that Nyxt is close to releasing 3.0 version.

> The amount of money we've sent to Ukraine so far could end homelessness and hunger in the US three times over.

Homelessness and hunger are complex in the US. Direct cash payments would likely drive up prices long term and not resolve the root causes (NIMBYs, addiction, healthcare). Other solutions are being tried yet money alone won't fix many of them.

Still I do agree US resources are too heavily tilted toward war hawks instead of housing, healthcare, reforms, etc.

I would expect it to have some extra functionality not usually baked into the kernel to be extra careful (and note) when a device works, but not quite obeys the protocols it should. Microsoft used to have "checked builds" (IIRC) that validated API call parameters. It was slower, but it would slap your hand instead of crashing when you asked it to do something stupid.

Also, if it's a hardware validation tool, I'd expect it to be able to collect and send all sorts of telemetry back to Microsoft. They are also interested in whether the device you are validating works correctly.

> the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) and the United States European Command (USEUCOM) already spied on France in their 2012 elections. Targets have been all parties and their leaders. [..] All targets were infiltrated both by human (”HUMINT”) and electronic (”SIGINT”) CIA spies. Specific tasks have been selected for all targets individually. [1,2]

Associated Press, on the other hand, did everything they could to downplay the degree of espionage and infiltration:

Although WikiLeaks’ publication of a purportedly secret CIA document was striking, the orders seemed to represent standard intelligence-gathering. [3]

I wonder if they would have described Russian infiltration of US parties as "standard", and not striking.

Interesting. I stay thin because I'm always watching what I eat and keep a mental note of how many calories I've had that day. If I'm trying to lose a few pounds I have to actually record my calories so I know when to stop eating.

I can eat pretty much non-stop. I could eat a large pizza myself, and 30 minutes later eat another.

The grass is always greener. Some people wish they could eat as much as me so they could gain some weight. I wish I couldn't eat so much so I didn't have to spend so much mental energy on ensuring I don't over-eat.
And precisely because it's from 2004 there are plenty of developers who may be hearing this story for the first time.

This story, perhaps more known as "EA Spouse", was eventually attributed to Erin Hoffman [1] and made quite a splash. It gained EA a bad reputation for excessive overtime that, AFAIK, they retain to this day. It's not the only reason why EA was named the "worse company in America" in 2012, but it was among them.

Ha! You call that parallax scrolling? Then take a look at this (Amiga, 1993): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoiHk_3siYg. In the first level, the bands of clouds are moving in (I think) 6 different levels of parallax, and also the mountain range and swamp below has different levels of parallax. Ok, this was a game that, as one reviewer put it, "squeezes all the graphic power out of the Amiga". Would you believe that this was a computer which was only capable of displaying 32 colors at once? Ok, that was without tricks of course, and this game probably uses every trick in the book...
jsonnet seemed like a great idea to me, but I've experienced extremely low performance. My Kubernetes manifest with a couple hundred lines of code in 4 files, which rendered instantly in Python before and renders instantly now with Helm, would take 10-20s with jsonnet. The "lazy evaluation" would probably go into some quadratic or exponential behavior, evaluating the same thing many times, but I sure couldn't see why (it was very straightforward code) or where (no debug tools...).

I really wouldn't use it for anything until tooling improves (but then against I'd much rather use something like Starlark).

"USSR logic"
It's more than the math. It requires modern understanding of electromagnetism and material science accounting for semiconductors. From that things like practical electric motors/generators and plethora other technologies become essentially a corollary.
I don't understand this perennial thread of "No one declared it, it's not a war" when armies are trying their hardest to exterminate each other. What makes the magic words "i declare war" by some old buffoon who just wants the children of his nation to die in cruel ways make a magical difference?

Seriously - if you look at pictures of the children dismembering each other in Ukraine during ww2 and the children dismembering each other in Ukraine in 2022, the only major differences are fashion and how effective technology lets them be at cruelty.

The legalistic bullshit of needing magic words sounds like something the monsters that want dead children say to each other to get a little distance from the fact that the dead children are still their fault.

Hunger is mediated by a bunch of hormones and you can test for some of those, but there is no test for the feeling of hunger. As a comparison, it is famously very hard for doctors to understand pain; it is also difficult for patients to communicate about pain.

The feeling of hunger is not comparable between people. Hunger is driven by multiple sensations (blood sugar, stomach stretch, hormone levels) and by cognitive behaviors (it's lunchtime, it's a feast day) and psychological conditioning (advertising). People have relationships with, and expectations about food. The response to hunger is learned. It is driven by culture - for instance it is 'manly' to eat a large steak and loaded baked potato where I'm from; many times the smaller cuts of steak have either a woman's name or some feminine aspect.

Scientists use Occam's Razor to find the most probable cause for some effect, and people in general want to find something simple to blame. I think the obesity epidemic has many causes, and it is particularly hard to understand because researchers have only lately begun to take hunger seriously. It is easy to say "Diet and Exercise" but losing body fat means that you must continuously make choices that decrease your comfort in some way - eating fewer highly rewarding foods, maintaining a state of hunger, increasing activity level. Those choices are difficult, and they are different for everyone.

I believe there are many consequences of the difficulty in measuring and tracking hunger. I think that many people (including doctors and researchers and HN users) want to be able to change one thing or add one drug and suddenly solve the obesity epidemic. I think it makes it hard for doctors to talk to patients. It makes it hard for people to understand what their body is doing.

No. Where did you get that idea?
There's a really interesting study they did with pigs.

They fed pigs four different diets that had the same amount of calories, but varying ratios of n3/n6 fats.

The pigs with high n6/n3 ratio ended up much fatter and less muscular than the pigs eating a 1-1 ratio diet. It's a very neat demonstration that "all that matters is calories" is not true; your metabolism, and thus how you use the calories, is influenced by the kinds of calories you are eating.

Well, at least if you are a pig. But it seems likely the same holds true in humans, though AFAIK no one has yet tried to do a similar controlled trial in humans.

But there's lots of assocational evidence that lines up in the same direction -- e.g., in America we've been getting fatter pretty much in-lock step with increasing consumption of n6 fats & there is a correlation between body-fat composition (which itself follows fat composition from the diet) and obesity.

So, in the light of the above, my #1 weight loss tip is: eat fewer n6 fats. (In practice, this means avoiding most prepared processed foodes and being extremely selective if eating out (since restaurants tend to go crazy using vegetable oil as a cooking fat, which is super high in n6 fats).)

The pigs study:

How and why we opened a datacenter in France
Yes but this looks more like habit disruption more than "biologically gaining weight somehow".

People that lift often eat more. But mostly protein, and stimulating muscle every day makes sure it will get developed and consume more calories to maintain itself.

If you stop lifting altogether, not only muscle mass stops growing but also starts to shrink. If you eat the same, you will gain weight faster and with less food than before.
That's pretty funny. Although, to be honest, I think a lot of the shareware platform games from that era were seen as low budget knock-offs of more famous games on the consoles and 8/16-bit home computers.

I also certainly don't think we're getting the full picture of what transpired from just that quote.
Nonsense.

What I mean is, the fact that you have muscle mass and stop lifting is not what's going to lead to "a quick onset of obesity." What leads to weight gain is still eating like you're lifting when you're not.

If you adjust your caloric intake to account for your new level of caloric expenditure, you will not gain weight, although you will likely see unfavorable body composition changes.

From the user-experience perspective, it matters that it is Rust. Unless you directly write WASM code, which is rarely (ever) the case.

Rust is a language that compiles to WASM. Sure, there are other options to compile to WASM, but they differ by interface (programming language, library, tooling) and (likely to a lesser degree) - performance.
"people with low BMI" seems like it refers to a large group of healthy people, but it actually refers to folks who are underweight.

Yes, and, about 8 minutes of true HIIT* at least 3 days a week for 6 weeks is proven to adjust your metabolic run level.

Graph your weight. After 6 weeks of HIIT, you'll see weight really shed because you're not burning calories during exercise but 24/7, and because of that metabolic shift, the weight will continue to shed for months even if you stop HIIT.

* HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training. It's a technical term, doesn't mean "oooh, that was intense". It means exercise at level that forces your body into using different metabolic mechanisms to fuel your effort. Initially it will probably make you feel ill. If you aren't used to it, and are doing it right, you will probably feel nauseous after the effort.

Your aim is expending energy about 4 minutes above your VO2Max, doing anaerobic exercise.

In a 4 - 8 minute routine called Tabata intervals** you can do:

- 2 minute warmup to hit your second highest heart rate band (probably 125 - 135), then

- 4 one minute intervals at max heart rate, generally 30 - 45 seconds "on" and 15 - 30 seconds recovery, four times in a row, followed by

- 2 minutes cooldown.

You can probably not hit these heart rates on foot or on normal exercise machines, you probably need a climber, rower, or elliptical (in that order of 'kicks your ass').

** For iOS, try the app "Seconds Pro" which offers brilliant timer routines for loops within loops.

EDIT TO ADD ANECDATA GRAPH:

Here is my personal graph in 2015 and 2016 when I tried this in my mid-40s to get rid of the 30 lbs gain that happened after I hit 40 with a corresponding metabolic slowdown:

https://i.imgur.com/pvbvoMy.jpg

I bought a Nokia scale about a month into HIIT in late spring, and stopped HIIT a couple weeks later.

After stopping, dropped 10 lbs from early summer through the fall. Over winter, began to gain.

Did HIIT again in spring of 2016 for six more weeks.

Stopped when weight started shedding, dropped another 10 lbs.

Finally, did one last cycle in 2017, dropped another 10 lbs.

Overall graph from 2015 to 2021 (stopped bothering with the scale because was steady state):

https://i.imgur.com/U6U7HrH.jpg

Haven't done HIIT since 2017, no purposeful exercise except for a few weeks of swimming in 2018. The three rounds of HIIT seem to have adjusted me back to my high school weight/metabolism balance.

WARNING: These heart rate numbers are examples, see your doctor. Anerobic exercise and heart rate in your max heart rate band are potentially dangerous.

GrapheneOS! It's an amazing OS. The transition was quick and seamless and I was surprised that had to make zero sacrifices, because it allows you to create separate profiles. I have one profile with a Google Play Services sandbox, which the OS provides as a one-click install. It's useful to run banking/ride-sharing apps, etc. It's very quick to transition between profiles.
