Not to mention the lead doesn't have the chops to carry this thing through. In casting him, they went for surface (looks) rather than substance. To paraphrase the great Malcolm Tucker: He comes across like he should still be at school with his head down a fucking toilet.

So a dev shell as consumed by a flake is typically just a derivation. And typically the most important thing in that derivation is ‘buildInputs’, which is just a list of ‘pkgs.thingIWant’. It’s not uncommon to hook other “phases” of the derivation, which are (oversimplified) just little shell scripts that run in some order (‘configurePhase’ before ‘installPhase’) and typically expressed using the nifty “” syntax. For example if Nix is like stuffing paths into a Makefile that you want to use in your dev shell, you might put that in installPhase. Protip: a Nix “package” (derivation) evaluated in a string context (foo = “${pkgs.gcc}”;) gives you a path to where the thing lives in /nix/store.

Several complaints online about "forced diversity" on the casting, many relating it to Netflix's influences.
Agreed. I think one step would be to have public healthcare, but only for people who are at a healthy weight (as determined by body fat percentage).

For example, Type 2 diabetes is a big cost burden for any health system. 70% of people with Type 2 diabetes who are also overweight would be asymtomatic if they lost weight. Why spend money on these people if the best course of action is free? (I.e., eat less food)
Both depression and hearing loss have treatments. Also, hearing loss can be prevented by, e.g., wearing earplugs when around very loud noises.

“For people aged between 65 and 69, around 2 in every 100 people have dementia. A person’s risk then increases as they age, roughly doubling every five years. This means that, of those aged over 90, around 33 in every 100 people have dementia.”

So, as more people live longer, the odds of getting dementia increases greatly.

Maybe we should spend the money to cure the disease?

Weight is a proxy for all sorts of related diet issues. You can lose weight on a Twinkie diet and not be metabolically healthy at the same time.

A healthy diet requires more than just the appropriate caloric intake. Although that’s a great starting point.

Guix has package transformations, which lets you use different commits or git URIs for a given package definition.

It also doesn't require the definition of a package if all you want is an environment to hack on the code in a git repo. People use `manifest.scm` or `guix.scm` for these purposes.

Guix System services are in fact all built together, but upgrading individual software or services does not require "roll[ing] back the complete Guix system ".

(I want to point out that describing Guix as "a NIH version of Nix" is a symptom of the attitudes that made me almost completely retreat from discussions of software online. It's so grating to deal with dismissive attitudes like that again and again. Sucks all the fun out of hacking.)
i wear a rash guard and a hat, and sunscreen on my face. i prefer clothing to sunscreen when i can, just from a tactile preference.

a loose sun hoody (like patagonia’s ) is pretty ideal for cycle touring. For cycling specifically, where you’re out for long periods of exertion, i prefer full coverage clothes anyway because it cuts down on the amount of grit that sticks to sweaty skin. That’s just flat out uncomfortable.
Criticker: Insanely Accurate Recommendations
No. I have read various reports that the majority of people who get skin cancer are office workers who go outside less frequently and then get burned. I never let myself get burned, I try to spend my outdoor time in the mornings and evenings rather than mid day or afternoon, and I eat a healthy diet which I understand is a bigger influence on skin cancer than sun exposure.
Sounds like a more extreme version of the confirmation bias.

The Singular Value Decomposition
I say this with the utmost respect for those who work hard to answer questions on discourse, but I have found it singularly unhelpful.

I strongly encourage the Nix community to embrace a mainstream Q&A platform like StackOverflow or GitHub Issues.

Nix is “weird” enough for beginners already, the kind of janky interface and uneven moderation/quality on discourse is IMHO self-defeating for Nix.
Basically, they embalmed a pig.

He is rich and able, I would have done the same if I was in his shoes so I don't judge him from moral perspective. I'm on the same page with the Germans on this one, i.e. it shouldn't be a crime and it's not wrong to escape from prison.

That said, not being him, I really don't like the narrative built around how Japanese prisons are horrible and it's justified to not serve for crimes in Japan. I also wonder if the "Japanese prisons and legal system are not good" editorials were coordinated.

IMHO, if Japanese system is that bad, People should stop going to Japan or take action to fix it for everyone instead of normalising the getting of scott-free for the elite.

Frankly, the decline looks less bad than I'd expected, given how short my own appreciation and of those in my bubble lasted.

A cure would be great, but it's not something we can just buy by throwing enough money at it. This argument feels like saying to try to find a cure for lung cancer instead of getting rid of asbestos and getting people to stop smoking.

C# on the Radiona ULX3S Using the NanoFramework Dotnet CLR
If you think obesity and alcoholism have remotely the same level of risk, you are woefully misinformed. The people you call “defenders” are simply asking to be treated like humans. The biggest health issue for obese individuals isn’t their obesity, but the fact that most doctors refuse to treat their health issues directly, and instead blame every problem on the patient’s weight, without providing any solution.
One Bad Apple Can Spoil Your IPv6 Privacy
Someone else addressed per capita self sufficiency below. But operationally, this strategy is likely only if US has ability and appetite to enforce blockade from other producers. And likely only viable short term before PRC finishes conventional deterrence. As we can see with UKR, most of the world ignored sanctions on food and energy, including west. Keep in mind PRC is buying a lot of ag products from US because of Phase One trade deal. Medium long term, they'd rather decouple and build up other producers.

Another Q one should ask is how vunerable US is to comparable counter action. Because US agriculture is highly industrialized and automated whereas PRC ag is in the process of automation and still reliant on labour. Sufficient cyber attack on US ag infra during harvest season and US is forced to ration. What happens to automated John Deere tractors when they have no GPS to harvest. Same with familiar threats of embargoing PRC oil because US is self sufficient on the metric that there's enough fossil fuel resources in the ground. US is only as self sufficient as how much it's 130 refineries can produce. If US interdicts PRC energy, don't be surprised if PRC takes down comparable levels of production state side.

Fair warning to all: the watermark on the epub purchased from the publisher is pretty obnoxious. On Apple Books it floats over every page and in some cases covers actual text.
I feel the point is more nuanced than you suggest. Clearly, nobody should be made to feel shit because they are overweight, but that's quite different from being actively proud of being overweight. It feels like a fine line to walk - making sure people feel happy and confident in who they are, but at the same time empowered and supported to make life improving decisions without feeling they're "letting the side down".
Props to Ghosn. Stuck it to the man.
Cultured meat[0] has the potential to upend the farming industry. This isn't near meat, it's actual meat and it's already here. We're simply waiting for the cost to come down from $10,000/kg or whatever crazy price it's currently at.

Its a gender thing. When men have problems we tell them to fix it, when women have problems we are told to sympathize with them. Alcoholism is mostly a male issue while obesity is gender neutral and hence includes a lot of women.
Watch Carlos Ghosn: Last flight. I watched it on emirates airlines. And it was good.
Education matters for the consensus (for arbitrary reasons) but in my own life, my prior experiences with food inform my next meal. Education doesn’t come into play at all.

Let me pose this another way, why would you expect me to change the amount of bread i eat because of another year education? I already had 13 years of teachers telling me it should be the foundation of my diet and it didn’t stick. Why would the next year of education be any different?

Again, I am confused by your claims. The species system taught by Fux is, as far as I recall, the exact same way that counterpoint is introduced in, e.g., Gauldin's "A Practical Approach to 18th Century Counterpoint." (Gauldin goes into much more detail on other things, but the approaches are consistent.)

The fact that the upper voice goes 2-1 or 7-1 and the bass 5-1 at cadences is one of the first things taught in a counterpoint class. The rule of the octave is in most theory textbooks. The first example that comes to mind is Laitz, "The Complete Musician."

You're right that these textbooks don't teach how to improvise an accompaniment from a figured bass, but I'm not sure that's a good use of time for a theory class.
Public health is just an aggregation of facts about individual health right? Leaving aside the enormously important exception of epidemiology.

Obese people have poor health outcomes, which harms them. Insofar as it's meaningful to even say "harming public health", this harms public health. But since a collection of data is hard to harm, I think this framing is unhelpful.
Imho we are not even close to AGI. The biggest issue that I see is that a consciousness, a mind, cannot exist in a void. What makes a behavior intelligent is the environment. As in, the behavior is intelligent because it provides an advantage to the one exhibiting it. Looking at humans and our environment I am having a hard time imaging how an AI could learb to be intelligent in this environment (except for closely controlled settings) if its survival does not depend on it.

I used to run for hours in NorCal and SoCal every weekend and experimented a lot. I found that:

- you should use sunscreen. I use Hawaiian Tropics sports edition or Neutrogina Hydroboost sunscreen (I hate very thick creams)

- sunscreen is not enough. I argue that good hydration and taking antioxidants(fruit/powder juice/supplements like vitamin c and alpha lipoic acid/etc) might be just as important if not more. You can get away with not using sunscreen for under an hour if you do that. I have not tested this for over an hour activities so can’t recommend.
Thank you for thoroughly othering me. I didn't do anything to you.
Maybe instead the government should "simply" stop doing everything it can to increase the cost of healthcare. When something is cheap enough (as our tech industry has many times observed), it's not a big deal to leave big factors of inefficiencies on the table and get on with other stuff.

I have always wondered about the ratings. It seems to me that all movies below 6 is trash. Has this always been this way? One would imagine that a 5 star rating would be ok since it is right between 0 (bad) and 10 (great). I guess some kind of inflation in the ratings is going on, but how is such things prevented in these kinds of ratings over time? Is it even possible to prevent?

Yes, everyday. As a cyclist, you should know prevention is better than a cure. Do you go out with a spare tube? With a portable pump? With tools to swap a tube?

Doing century rides, sunscreen is right next to having enough water.

Apply our face, back of your neck, ears - arms - legs.

I love biore UV it applies clear and it’s super thin and I’ve never got darker while having it applied. Spots I don’t have sunscreen applied e.g. arms have gotten darker.

Tl;dr Apply sunscreen, it isn’t about gender and it shouldn’t be about convenience. When you’re 40-70 your body/face will thank you.

Also moisturize.

That's because in the era of mass- and social media, many racists have become quite skilled at encoding their views in dog whistles.

I went the opposite direction from you — formerly a pretty-conservative, reliably-Republican voter, now a Yellow Dog Democrat for the time being; formerly a Nozickian, now largely a Rawlsian.

A major milestone was visiting the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, where MLK Jr. was assassinated. I've always been well-read in history, but the matter-of-fact exhibits on slavery and Jim Crow had me fighting back tears; a couple of times I came close to sobbing. (And yes, I know the Dems and GOP have switched places on that subject since Reconstruction.)

You're projecting an implementation onto an idea. It seems bad faith. The ability, or physical and emotional investment to lose weight isn't exactly insignificant, so you're right to emphasize that - projecting ignorance and malice on the idea rather than criticizing it's merits isn't helping though? $100 check contingent on nothing does seem like it could go wrong as well as being subjectively offensive, but you are the one who suggested that right? What would work best I wonder. I was lucky in the sense that my life's circumstances forced me to lose all my spare weight.
What! No I loved it. Gave me a good laugh once or twice. Read it with a smile.
This is a really interesting area to explore - thanks for suggesting it! I think that there are quite a few authors who have shown that there is a market for the book as well as for an open source "edition" of the book. My favorite from the past was Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing [1] and perhaps more recent is the very complimentary NAND To Tetris [2]

I would imagine that the hard part is dealing with the publisher and getting them on board with it as well. Added to my list!

47m. This time of year (in Texas) I lay out 30-60 minutes a day in a tiny speedo to maximize exposure, and walk shirtless in shorts another 30 minutes, no sunscreen. I'm pretty tan by now which affords significant protection as I understand it. My heuristic has been: we made it a really, really long time with more sun exposure than I can get if I try, before sunscreen was even invented. I might do it differently if I were fair-skinned, or lived at higher altitude or something. During the less sunny months I supplement D3.
Wow, not hard to see how the next 9/11 will happen. The staff at the charter jet terminal were almost criminally clueless.

Could you post a screenshot? I’m deciding between the physical and digital versions and have never seen a watermark in an e-book before.
Actually, the “skip list” I implemented wasn’t as general as the ones talked about here. I had the “skips” pre-computed at specific intervals to skip sometimes huge numbers of entries, sometimes just a few, it wasn’t equally distributed. Didn’t know there was a more general implementation, neat!

> How would you apply that observation to Wikipedia?

I would notice that the Wikipedia reader base is a multiple of peer-reviewed scientific-paper base. While I don't know what the multiple is, I would guess the range is 1-2 orders of magnitude.

Wikipedia claims its average donation is $15 [1], so a rough guess will imply $100-$1000 average donation for a sci pub model.

That's on the income side. On the spending side: I would guess the major difference in costs would be the scientific editors, which exist in the traditional science publication model.

There are probably large initial marketing costs associated with

1. finding the right target authors and convincing them to send a valuable contribution to the new site,

2. finding serious editors to manage peer review and separate the wheat from the chaff. (edit: I assume this is still part of the process. I think about something like Einstein's special relativity paper, and I'd have to guess it would have been widely downvoted as an internet crank trying to publish crazy ideas -- he did not have a reputation yet.)

I see this as potentially expensive: The level of the first papers will determine how likely it is to succeed. Said differently: If the new site starts by publishing lame work, it's not like someone is going to want to publish there afterward.

In any case: I think it is a tough and worthwhile problem to solve, and I wish you good luck.
