Personally I track my nutrients with cronometer and I make 70% of my food from scratch by meal prepping and I don't add table salt to anything. If I don't use salt when seasoning my chicken my sodium intake is around 1g per day

Is it really considered obsessive to cook meals yourself? That sounds so bizarre to me

> without recognising that Kiwifarms themselves were a mob

That's seems like a false equivalence to me. They don't have nearly as much as power and influence as the Twitter mobs. Which entire major websites do you think the KF "mob" can get off the internet by political/social pressure?

Also, if there's no avoiding the existence of mobs in the current political climate, it's better to allow all sides to have their own.

Ah ha, but my profile will state that sending me a message is an affirmative act of agreement to the terms of service on my account, which state that you grant to me an irrevocable license to store, duplicate, transfer, sublicense, and republish any and all such content... which you, of course, under penalty of perjury, assert you have the rights to in the first place ;P.
I agree in theory but not in practice. Most developers have no idea how to measure the performance of a software product either in code units, libraries, features, or the product as a whole. Worse, they really have no idea what to measure. This is even after you’ve passed that tremendous hurdle that you need measurements not assumptions.

A large part of that is due to the immaturity of software as a profession relative to other professions. Measuring things takes tremendous effort and many developers don’t want to challenge their deeply held assumptions of how things work. Often when you present performance measures to developers they will invent an excuse to throw the data out if they don’t like the conclusion.
I don't exactly keep up on these things, but at one time off-peak frequency compensation was done specifically to keep AC-synchronous clocks accurate. I wouldn't be surprised to find that's not really done anymore.
The analogy itself is dicta: part of the decision’s explanation and commentary; not a statement of law or binding precedent. Therefore not something that can be overturned in the subsequent case.
If Kiwifarms broke the law, then that is a matter for law enforcement. It's not the purview of an internet cartel and hate mob acting as judge, jury, and executioner. Every defense I've seen of censorship is exactly like yours. Some insinuations about how "distasteful" a group is, and then an implied "Can you really blame them for going after it?"
I've looked into it a bit and my understanding is that added salt, like on fries, is almost irrelevant, in that a little salt goes a long way and salty fries still only have a comparatively low amount of sodium. On the other hand, commercial baked goods, like bread or buns, have an insane amount of sodium that you barely taste. A hotdog bun often has as much or more sodium as the hotdog.
Tests? We don't need no stinking tests! [1] I didn't plan to open source this so quickly, if ever. I'm just happy it's working for WakaTime. The makefile has plans for pytest, but honestly my motivation for tests has waned after fixing the production issues with Celery.

At a glance, it looks like weather and population density are some dominating factors. Interesting that people are very unhappy in Tokyo. Probably some food for thought for people promoting greater living density, there. Sample size of 500 in each perfecture is potentially problematic, however.
This was probably known for a while but hidden as a fact so that devices would die prematurely and users would need to buy newer ones sooner.
Or maybe we should envision a better future and create some new genres.

I’m increasingly convinced shared narrative direction is deeper than material and organizational constraints in the direction society moves.

Obviously narrative needs to be compatible with material and organizational constraints, but given the overwhelming importance of religion throughout human history in motivating people, I think there’s a lot of compelling evidence that the stories we tell are pretty important.

You can’t force positive visions of the future, but I think we can be a lot more open to them than we are currently.
Slack probably doesn't care about this, but I do find it slightly disingenuous that Signal offers a "delete message" feature, given its focus on security and not misleading the user that they're doing something that protects them. What's saying that I couldn't similarly patch Signal, and read all of my friend's deleted messages?
The annoying part is, there is no PE program for software/computer engineers, and I'm pretty sure the moment there is, the PE may be the kiss of death for being hirable until such time as a bunch of jurisdictions decree thou shalt not run un-PE blessed software.

EU imports of US LNG eclipsed monthly Russian pipeline output as recently as June.

These figures will be updated to reflect an entirely different new world. They’re from 2021, the year before Russia invaded Ukraine and Europe’s energy supply was dramatically changed at both ends.

Natural gas in the EU is generally used to heat homes and power industry, it and other sources of energy aren’t immediately fungible.

I don’t subscribe to realism and don’t personally blame anyone but Russia and the EU member energy policies responsible for this situation unlike the Russian sympathetic commenter you originally responded to, but using pre war figures on top of pre export ban statistics does border closely on disingenuity given how loudly and rapidly changes have been occurring in 2022.

In the context of Kubernetes, what do containers have to do with cgroups? I get that container runtimes typically provide a nicer interface for setting them up, but Kubernetes doesn’t use those interfaces anyway. If it was just about cgroups, they could have just run a regular process in cgroups.
My experience of every modern printer I've seen of Oriental manufacture and that I've used in the US, Europe, Japan and Australia are essentially identical when it comes to paper sizes. All cassettes are large enough to take American Quarto/Letter size and have adjustments/paper restraining guides that easily cover both sizes.

It's possible that there are printers being imported into the US that have nonadjustable cassettes but I've never seen any (not in recent decades anyway). Even decades ago the HP LaserJet II and III would take both sizes. BTW, I still have a a fully functional LJ III bought around 1994.

As far as I'm aware, there are no printer manufacturers that manufacture normal office type printers left in the US, everything now comes from Asia.

Edit: However, in the US reams of letter size are the norm whereas nowadays it's almost impossible to Letter size in any other country. It's been a problem for me because I've had to produce manuals in both paper sizes (depending on which country I was working in at the time). Same with the ring binders which are slightly different sizes not to mention that the US often only uses 3-ring binders whereas everywhere else they're 4-ring and the hole spacings are incompatible.

Some of it is https://xkcd.com/927/ all over. EMACS is so old that it couldn't use an existing standard because it predates them. Then CUA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access) tried to set a standard but not everyone used it and it fell out of favor, and MacOS did its own thing, and we eventually got to a place where nobody has enough pull to set a standard so it's just a question of what convention(s) a given program decides to support (or not).

Edit: Which is the big reason why I believe that every program should allow users to customize shortcuts completely and ideally ship with presets that do their best to conform to every standard/convention possible ("do you want to preload CUA, EMACS, or MacOS convention shortcuts?").
This against their rules. And I had the same thing happen.

Hired an “American” contractor named Jeff. Had a video meeting with him, everything started off great.

Then when we got him into slack, his English went way down hill.

I tried to get a phone number for him and he resisted and gave excuses why he couldn’t talk right now.

So… because I suspect this is getting to be very common… Get a phone number for your contractor and call them periodically. Insist to speak with them on the phone about something they have done recently.

Even if the work would have been good, I won’t pay a liar like that.
It's not being based on the domain name. KF was created with the intent of harassing someone, and has continued that to harass people both online and offline. The content on the site is hate, and the content occasionally includes illegal activities.

> And "freedom of association" was also the excuse given by businesses to not serve black people in the South in the first place.

Sure, freedom of association goes both ways. We decided as a society to add protections for minority groups to prevent that sort of specific abuse. I don't think we'll do the same for Kiwifarms, and I'd argue that's the correct call.
Well, that's good. In Australia, we have some pretty tough privacy laws.
I don't think I've claimed that these things aren't illegal or that KF is innocent, so please don't suggest I did. thanks.

Cloudflare clearly doesn't care about illegal things their users do unless it becomes a risk or too inconvenient to them. Content on KF might be illegal, but hosting KF with such content is generally not, which is why they could point to Section 230 and stick their fingers in their ears.

Whereas SESTA turned Switter into a massive legal risk for them, because it removed that protection. I bet if a SESTA-style law existed against KFs content Cloudflare would have kicked them off very quickly. And in reverse I think there is a good chance that if SESTA hadn't passed, CF would still host Switter.

(And just to be clear, SESTA is a terrible law, and trying to "fix" CFs attitude by making more such laws is not worth it. But clearly lawmakers decided kicking sexworkers of the internet was more important/worth it than kicking places like KF off the internet when making it)

Ironic. I guess you want me to take your word for it.

Unfortunately for you, your mockery doesn't hold up to any kind of scrutiny. Libsyn, a podcast distributor which I associate with more nerdy podcasts and competent users compared to e.g. iHeart, released user-agent stats across their entire field quite recently, back in 2021: https://thefeed.libsyn.com/193-alexa-play-the-podcast

Mobile apps not named Spotify, Stitcher, or Apple claimed a total download count of 12.6%. That 12.6% is largely composed of:

* 2.3% Google Podcasts

* 1.8% Overcast

* 1.3% Podcast Addict

* 1.2% Castbox

* 1.0% PocketCast

To the best of my knowledge, all of the above are centralized and normally fetch the RSS feed on a server instead of the app functioning as the user agent.

And so we can infer that at maximum, mobile downloads originating directly from RSS-fetching user agents represent 5% of the market for Libsyn. Desktop as a whole represented <15% of all downloads, and a huge chunk of that is going to be (once again) Apple Podcasts.

Furthermore, there are a ton of extremely popular "podcasts" (though they barely deserve the name) that are entirely centralized, being available only on one platform. This is a large portion of the market which the above figures don't reflect at all.

And so, on the basis of the evidence that is actually available, I pronounce RSS dead.

Another DreamHost fan here. I host dozens of hybrid sites on both the shared hosting and VPS and the service is great. My setup is pretty simple, a Perl-based SSG which generates static HTML on-demand if it happens to be missing from the tree.

I've had a few minor issues over the years, often self-inflicted, and whenever I use the support panel, I get a helpful human response within an couple of hours, usually with a resolution. If I have to respond, I can respond to the email by email!

All in all, can't praise DreamHost enough.
Caching should be handled by the proxy in front of your server in that case. Adding another host is unlikely to improve performance, especially with HTTP/2.

It doesn't work that way. Market cap depends on circulating coins/tokens. This is an opportunity for you to learn some more though, which is always good!
Yeah I think it's infinite domains ... You pay a yearly fee for each domain, which is something like $16.

But the hosting is a flat fee at less than $10/month. (edit: just checked, actually I pay yearly for a discount.)

So I find that to be pretty nice, because I have had 5 domains at one point. And now I have 3 or so.

But I always keep the same hosting account. It works well in practice.

One genuine question: part of the issue, as I understood it, that TX had is that they were on their own grid. But CA isn't. They're part of the Western Interconnection. And while I learned from a google search that California has "Independent System Operators" -- shouldn't being connected to half the United States give them more stability here?

Anyway, we clearly need to make grid improvements.

I think those are 12 separtate "tests".

So for example in the first test (top left collection 3x2 of six total pictures), the second picture in the first row has what I'll call a squashed cup icon with whipped cream on top in two different orientations. So I'd click on that one.

The for the second test (second collection of 6 pictures in the top row), the very first picture has two icons of a "dollar bill" in two different orientations. So I'm assuming you'd select that one.

For the third test (third/final collection of 6 pictures in the top row) the second picture in the first row has two icons of a briefcase in two different orientations.

While I didn't complete all 12 "tests", each one I looked at seemd to have one of the 6 pictures having a duplicate icon.

But yes definitely harder than the: "Does this image have a cross walk?" Or "Does this image have a lamppost?" Which I assume are pretty easily ML solvable now.
For those interested in the details on the mentioned columnar storage engine "Ressi", this article doesn't really have anything, it is more about the migration process.

Apparently Ressi was meant to enter production in 2017 according to some older blog posts, so I'm not sure if this is a delay or the result of a long-running consolidation.

There are a few paragraphs about it in the SIGMOD '17 Spanner paper from Google

If you dont count UNPLANNED WORK into your velocity, then it becomes a useful metric for planning. Its basically an inverse of disruption. Dev always wants to assign points to anything that gets pulled into a plan after commitments, or any scope creep, but if you can resist then your velocity becomes relatively consistent and predictable.

So what? The only thing I ever try to print multiple to a sheet is slides, and those are a different shape entirely.
Interesting article. I find the following quote to be a bit odd - though in the context of "what makes a good metric", towards the end, it makes more sense:

> Besides telling you that “velocity is low,” what else does a burndown chart reveal about your team’s bottlenecks, problems, and inefficiencies? Nothing.

I mean - it's good to know there's a problem (deadlines won't be met), right? It might not answer why, but it certainly allows you to ask why.

I'm also a little confused about what definition of velocity the article argues against while promoting a form of velocity called cycle time/avg cycle time; which seems to mesure how long tasks take to complete?
Well, I crawled a LOT of pages when it was up. Havent found any examples.

And as the claims are usually about it being widespread, it should be very easy to provide at least one example.

I'm not sure I agree. It depends on the reason for doing a demo - if it's just for high fives or a pat on the back, probably not a demo worth doing. But a company needs bottom up leadership as much as top down leadership. It's important that backend engineers be able to surface critical work up through the org chart to get buy in on technical direction. Budget doesn't just manifest and if you don't align incentives with your work through bi-directional communication you're going to find yourself eternally understaffed at the expense of your teams health and the company's effectiveness.

(3) here seems to be the most important from my experience - and I'd reword it: demo your product through the lens of business value. Is this going to reduce toil letting engineers further up the stack move faster? Tighten feedback loops? Reduce pager fatigue? Reduce head count growth as the business grows?

My demos almost always have extra engineering work dedicated to the demo, visual aids, and a story that shows the evolution of the problem domain: how did we find ourselves working on this and what happens to the business if nobody solves this problem space?

Demos of obscure backend tech are most powerful if you can root them in language directors, VPs, and execs hear from the tech org on a regular basis. Attaching your work to the reasons they hear for things taking too long, costing so much, or causing downtime will win you friends and get you valuable feedback on aligning/calibrating your work to business need.

I can practically guarantee (without bothering to check) it's against Upwork's rules, and in many jurisdictions a form of fraud.

1. Legal/compliance/tax problems

2. If Upwork were to allow this, it effectively allows bad actors to reset their reputation whenever they want

3. If you're willing to lie about this, do I really want you working for me?

4. Just because you approve of them and think they're safe doesn't mean I do, and you're sending my confidential company secrets and source code to them

None of these are problems if you're upfront about it, but lying and claiming you're doing the work when you're actually outsourcing it is very bad.

> But light is not a particle, it is a wave and it always is a wave, until we measure it.

It's more complicated. Anyway, when the light colide with your skin it counts like a "measurement". Most of the times, the light colides with an electron of your skin and the energy that the electron get's is the same energy that it would get in the photoelectric effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_effect

> Is it's energy in the frequency or the amplitude?

Both. You can calculate the energy using the amplitude, and that energy determines how many photons will you count in a photoelectric experiment.

The wavelength determines the energy of each photon. The amplitudes determines the total amount of energy in all photons.

> Because this radiation is non-ionizing you think it is harmless.

Note that there are two ways in which light can be dangerous, let's call the "cancer" and "cooking".

As far as we know, non-ionizing radiation does not cause cancer.

You can cook something/someone using non-ionizing radiation but the power of the 5G antenas in not enough where people can go.
