I would recommend you give https://www.youtube.com/c/AbroadinJapan a watch. Chris has been all over every Japanese prefecture multiple times, and he usually records places that aren't the kind of places you'd see on a quick Google Search or trip advisor.

He has biked across Japan in his season 1 of Journey Across Japan, he showcases all kinds of hotels, capsule hotels, Ryokans (Japanese inns), etc, in every video. It's just a great way to learn about Japan, it's culture, food, what dos and don'ts.
In that scenario, there's an inverse square law of how much cannabis was consumed between that group of people just to come to a consensus of where to go to get food that everyone has already agreed to being hungry an hour ago.
I think if we're looking at body fat percentage that's a very different question, and something that's probably more in the realm of biology than physics. But weight loss is simple, it's not going to be effected by medical conditions or "metabolism" if you can just reduce the mass of the Earth.
Cool. Now do VS PG+extensions like asked about up-thread.
That's funny, since PS5 doesn't support Atmos at all and on Windows you need to buy a paid plugin to make it work for anything that's not a Home Theatre system.

(And even if you have a home theatre system, Windows games will still prefer outputting 5.1 / 7.1 PCM and mixing 3D effects by themselves).

I'd also be interested to hear where those Dolby Vision complaints for PS5 are coming from, I haven't heard anyone really say that despite HDR being debated quite a lot :)
The article says you need special training and it’s not just fidgeting. I’m not sure what to make of that.
Also, you don't need git, just memorize code changes.
That counts as mechanical linkage. My camera and monitor are attached to the wall, not my desk, for precisely this reason.

I think they mean, when something looks too good to be true, it probably isn't [true] (though that's not how the phrase is normally used, of course).
I have a representative who I agree pretty much on all issues. The problem though is that he is one of 435 people in the House. He can just vote for, against, or propose changes. But then will have to fight against those who will easily accept money to ruin it.

I'm glad that Pelosi is using her position to impose some changes on the bill so maybe something good will come out of it, but I really can't stand that in US bribery is essentially legal.
Whoa, had no idea this was possible. Pretty cool!
Apparently Tim hasn't seen publications like Wallpaper[0] and Monocle[1] (both created by Tyler Brûlé). Ironically, those kinds of aspirational/luxury magazines are printed on heavy stock, and therefore lack a few of the traits that he enjoyed about The Atlantic.

I'm not really interested in playing the semantics game, I concede all points to anyone who wants to try.
Dolby Vision is poorly documented but I did find a long PDF explaining how it works.

It does provide significant value worthy of patent protection.

The main thing they did was develop a nonlinear color space designed so that each “bit” of information provides equal value. This way no bits are wasted, making compression more efficient and have fewer artefacts.

The color space is also set up so that the “lightness” channel is accurate and brightness can be rescaled without introducing color shifts.

They also came up with a way of encoding the HDR brightness range efficiently so that about 12 bits worth of data fits into 10 bits.

The format also allows a mode where there is an 8-bit SDR base stream with a 2-bit HDR extension stream. This allows the same file to be decoded as either HDR or SDR by devices with minimal overhead.

Last but not least they work with device manufacturers to make optimal mapping tables that squeeze the enormous HDR range into whatever the device can physically show. This is hard because it has to be done in real time to compensate for maximum brightness limits for different sized patches and to compensate for brightness falloff due to overheating. Early model HDR TVs had to have FPGAs in them to do this fast enough!
Surely "notion" is in that chain somewhere as well lol. Yeah, I really dislike when tools try to reach outside their "lane" (See: everything Dropbox has done that isn't storing files), you get abandoned half-implemented things that you get forced to use because "well we already pay for X and it has Y feature". If ever there was a use for the "I want X, we have X at home"-meme it would be cases like this. I wish more companies strived (strove? apparently both are valid) to just be the best at 1 thing instead of branching out into things they just aren't good at and won't continue working on. I guess I make some exceptions for the Google/Apple/Microsoft's of the world where it can be beneficial to have a "platform version" of most basic tools (passwords, notes, calendar, etc) but for other companies I feel like it would be better for everyone if they stayed in their lane.
You get all of them, since they tend to be ripped as-is from the source media. I commonly see Dolby Digital+ (because Netflix/Prime/etc. use them), Dolby TrueHD (because BluRays use that) and nowadays there's more and more Atmos.

Ocassionaly you can see an odd DTS/DTS-MA now and then, but not a lot.
Probably not. It sounds like they are lifting COVID era restrictions on travel (you could only do pre-arranged tours with strict itineraries)
I think the theme is just that they're big companies.
> Exceptions are a poor-man's implementation of an error-handling applicative or monad type.

True, but in those languages, exceptions can be thrown from anywhere anyway.

> Checked exceptions are especially terrible because their usage forces handling of exceptions in every layer of the call stack above the point where the checked exception might be thrown

That's not true. Handling a checked exception in one layer means you don't need to handle it in the above layers.

There are different ways to measure calories. In a calorimeter you can measure all the calories in some stuff. In your body the amount of calories available to your body to digest is some amount less depending on what that stuff is. This can vary from foodstuff to foodstuff by (iirc) about 1-15%

So one could be more accurate and say Available CaloriesICO I guess

Unless you are an athlete or have some condition the simple CICO rule is accurate enough to be useful. Eat less, move more, and weight will be lost (or at least gains will slow).

None of this says anything about each person’s own life challenges that alter how difficult it is to do that.
This is a really weird comment, because Limbaugh was almost entirely radio. His TV show was short-lived and not really popular, as he wasn't comfortable in the medium and it showed. He got his start in radio as a DJ, and went on to basically remake the AM band from farm reports and local sports talk to talk radio as we now know it.

This is really basic bio stuff about Limbaugh, and it doesn't speak well of your other assertions if you got this part so wrong.

What's really funny is that during the 90s the "Greatest Threat To Democracy Ever" WAS talk radio, more or less solely because the Limbaugh program was so popular. The targets may change, but the talking points never seem to.
Checked exceptions are an exact analog for result types. If you have an `int parseInt(String s) throws ParseException` function it is basically equivalent to `parseInt(s: String): Result<Integer, ParseError>`. Hell, if anything, it is better — it is automatically “unboxed” for you, and in case of an error you get the sane default choice of bubbling said exception up (rust’s ? macro does the same, but it is much less ergonomic). It has the added benefit of including stack traces, which makes it actually possible to do anything with unhandled error cases and is of utmost importance.

I’m not claiming that Java’s execution of checked exceptions is good, it unfortunately does have a few inconsistencies (lambdas don’t operate well with them, also inheritance is not a good match for exceptions), but it was pretty universally ditched and I think it very well deserves another chance.
It looks like fidgeting, but what you can't tell is if the muscle is exerting on the eccentric or what the intensity is. In any case, I'm going back to fidgeting for the afternoon.

I actually agree with you but the CDC changed their definition of the word "vaccine" several times, most recently in 2021. The latest revision is now more scientifically accurate. But it's understandable how the changes caused confusion among some members of the public.

Mr Bright said:

"Americans have the highest standard of living in the world. That's why the poor from everywhere are trying to get into the US. Do you watch the news about all those migrants pouring over the border"

and you said:

"it just makes Walter's well thought, rational arguments even stronger.
reply"

His reply is neither well thought[out], rational or strong whatsoever.
His reiteration of Americans having the highest global standard of living does NOTHING to address any of the issues I raised with this statement in my previous comment, he literally just repeat his assertion.

Which is also untrue, SOME Americans have the highest living standards, many many many times more do NOT.

You will see neither my comment never mentions crime whatsoever.
Mr Bright inserts the topic of crime, drug addiction, criminal enforcement and theft as though criminals and addicts are the only Americans who live in poverty and the only metric for establishing living standards is crime.
This is clearly illogical and irrational.

Many of the people suffering at the hands of US capitalism simply got cancer, were in a car accident, were born with disability, got hurt at work, too old to work but no retirement fund, etc.

Frankly, I dont care about "helping my position" or if the language I use upsets you!
Anyone with the faintest whiff of logical integrity can clearly see that Walther Not-So Bright is espousing bullshit that he believes, not that has any rational basis.

You're right next to him at the bottom of the intellectual barrel.
I think this is going to end up being an overblow over-editorialized headline.

This looks to be an example of NEAT movements, which engage muscles and therefore of course increases energy requirement. The effect of NEAT on energy requirements of a body is fairly well studies and fairly well known. It would have been far more interesting if it lasted for over 4 hours as that would at least in theory pass the 2nd level signaling.

Probably not. So far, after COVID, Japan is “open” but only if you go as part of a tour group. You can’t just land and get visa-free entry to go backpacking around. It sounds like that’s what’s changing.
I agree with all the other comments about this - the whole thing stinks of a BS infomercial, for very specific reasons:

1. Are people supposed to do this contraction indefinitely while sitting? Good luck with that.

2. Is this only supposed to be done with an e-stim machine to generate the contraction? Again, if so, it may be an interesting curiosity, but it's not practical.

FWIW I wouldn't have such a negative reaction if the whole site and presentation wasn't in "slick bullshit" form, but instead conservatively, and clearly, presented their for findings.

> you can refactor using the tools available

Sometimes. You can refactor your own codebase. If you're working with independent modules, or building libraries that you publish to the world, refactor tools will not help you. You can't refactor other people's code.

Even in your own monolith, this kind of refactor is not great. You've turned a 1-line logic change into a patch that spans potentially hundreds of files. Reviewers hate that.

> a notnull situation and perhaps i would have solved it on initialization

You don't always get to decide that. The data may be serialized in from JSON, loaded from a database, imported from some weird EDI system, etc. Maybe the initialization process is not so simple, and spread out all over the codebase (or even just dozens of constructors).

> you can create getter/setter structures in python

Python is extremely dynamic and while I can't remember how offhand, I would be surprised if you couldn't simply override variable access the way you can with Javascript (eg, add a `get fieldname()` method). So you don't need "getters" the way you do in Java, which makes a distinction between field access and dynamically dispatched functions (and has performance benefits).

CICO is still true. While some foods can increase metabolism (the other reply suggested up to 10% - sounds reasonable to me), that is an increase in calories out. You can also increase metabolism by exercising, or some drugs.
The headline, "Japan to reopen to independent travelers and lift daily arrival cap," is also a more relevant framing, in that the "visa-free" part is a return to the pre-pandemic status quo, not some novel customs policy as some other comments are interpreting it.

Can you prove those mitigations were worth their incredible cost to society? Can you prove they were, in fact, valuable for the population?

The fact we still debate the effect of these mandates means it wasn't worth it. The fact we jumped into all these crazy mandates with nary a shred of evidence they'd even work is batshit insane.

And last I checked, humans have quite a few inalienable rights. We violated many of them and then mocked people who objected. Apparently not as inalienable as we thought if the masses demand it.

After seeing how the ATF operates entirely autonomously to nearly eliminate the right to bear arms through increasingly more unnecessarily complex and ridiculous "rules" that make you felon for things that were previously (and should still be) totally legal, I have zero interest in giving executive agencies autonomy to make laws.

And it doesn't matter that the rules can be ruled as ineffective by a high court, because it takes ages to get through the whole court process. So in the time that the court took ruling something totally unconstitutional, people's rights are squandered (especially without any democratic consensus to enact it), and the people that enacted and enforced the later-deemed-unconstitutional rulings face zero repercussions. And guess what? They then move on to the next unconstitutional ruling that squanders as many rights as possible for as long as possible.

>The other options are all some form of breach of the social contract

The thing is a social contract that can't actually exist doesn't matter. If we all agree to not work but still receive benefits we haven't made a meaningful social contract. Breaching that contract is probably the best thing to do. Also, its difficult to evaluate exactly what the contract is here: is it that we all agree to a welfare state (roughly speaking) or is it that in the event that it is possible to have a welfare state then we will have it? I think the latter is more reasonable.

>Pension levels would have to be lowered to the point where the elderly would have to come out of retirement and re-join the workforce to survive, despite a lifetime of making payments into the system and promises they'll be returned.

The way I see it the point you're making here is that since they put in, they deserve to take out, as their input was when the system was still working and the contract thus in place. And that's true to a degree, but people implicitly acknowledge of and take a risk when they contribute to these systems. Did anyone think that in the event of a massive famine (for an extreme example) that they will magically be paid back on their contribution? The decline of the working population is maybe not something they thought about, but it comes implicitly as part of a general acknowledgement that a given system only exists withing a certain interval of environments.

All this said, you didn't explicitly state that you believe this contract should be upheld at all costs, but that seems to be the only case where that point would be relevant in the first place.
I contest that our own bodies are part of Earth’s crust and thus a more efficient way to do this would be removing mass from our own bodies exclusively.

You could test this by looking at “new” instead of “top”.
For the vast majority of DNSSEC-enabled end user systems, the user's device is not doing its own DNSSEC validations. It's using a DNSSEC-enabled resolver and trusting the bit set on the DNS query response where the recursive resolver says "yup, I confirm that DNSSEC is good here". Given that these resolvers are generally provided by the user's ISP, if the ISP wants to lie about DNSSEC, they can just fudge the results and set that bit to "yup, we're good".

The only way around this is for local systems to do their own recursive resolution, which isn't the default configuration on any OS or distribution that I'm aware of.
