I do cut calories (I bulk at maybe 3500 and cut at maybe 2500), I'm mostly saying that I find it much easier to feel full on a very high protein diet. I also believe there is some research suggesting that you should err on the higher side of the acceptable range when in a deficit. I would be nervous eating 150 G of protein in an extended deficit, weighing ~175 lbs.
I think a lot of it is each person is different. You have to experiment. I find low carb (possible because it basically becomes high protein for me) reduces hunger and cravings and the non-sugar sweeteners keep me sane by letting me have treats.

My experience with fresh installs has usually be pretty good on older laptops. However, it always eventually starts to go downhill for me (likely somewhat self inflicted). It would be interesting if the author still feels the same after a year or so.

It's weird, in some countries the tabloids aren't exactly respected, but they are taken very seriously, even though they're the same sort of absolute trash.

This is very much the case in the UK with quite a number of papers like the Daily Mail and the Sun, and it's the case in Germany with Bild in particular. They have a status which no American would give, say, the New York Post.
Smart people aren't a resource that can be reallocated promptly like workers in an RTS.

The type of person who works at a FAANG or an investment firm isn't going to suddenly seek a career that requires more work for less money if data harvesting type jobs stop existing. They'll pivot to the next plausibly profitable gig.

For structural reasons, careers that attract those types necessarily have to be in sectors of the economy are flush with cash. Governmental investment is not sufficient to create massive salaries if there isn't raw money-making capacity there to begin with. Of course, medical research has its winners but it's not nearly in the same league of certainty of opportunity than tech or finance. There should still be investment to make these jobs attractive anyway, but you are not going to have the massive shift in our common fortunes you are envisioning here.

It's a bit similar to those arguments implying that without religion we'd have teleportation by now or something along those lines. It completely ignores the structural nature of the problem and how the identified 'negative' sector actually works in tandem with the rest of the society in question. It's a flawed view of how incentives really work.
Fair enough, but a strong point had to be made.
> For Okta's part, the passwords are in clear text because there is no standard reliable protocol for syncing hashes, researchers noted. However, Authomize noted that Okta did pledge to have its product team take a closer look at the password-leak risks.

What???

Can someone fill me in as to why they can’t just store the password using something like bcrypt?

I guess you either have to store the password in plaintext so they can do dynamic hashing operations on it, or transmit the password (via TLS hopefully) which is vulnerable to packet capture (or captured within the receiving app).

Are there any techniques for identity providers to authenticate people without storing or transmitting the users password to them?
This looks cool. Does it need direct access to air from outside, or can it suck the heat out of the air in the garage?

It's not as cut and dried as that. You have to look at the whole picture, including things like periodicity and supplementation.
When the L16 was conceived 16MP was a lot. These days that is the low end resolution for a smartphone.

Most new phones have 3 sensors and lenses, so indirectly the L16 concept is still implemented. Albeit the lenses have different focal lengths and the sensors might have different resolutions and spectral responses.
Nah, I stand on the shoulders of generations of developers, just like everyone else here.

I didn’t claim my opinion was novel, just that it’s mine. I hope others share my opinion, because I’d find codebases that fit my criteria easier to maintain than many other types.

Also, do you agree or disagree with any of the ideas I put forth?

Plus something being proven by a study, even if well done, still doesn't necessarily prove anything. It generally requires replication to confirm. People have this idea that if they find a study that says something and it looks very legit, it must be true. But studies come out and are later found to be flawed or straight up wrong all the time. Primary sources are not a great source of information for most people.
How we found sanity in a subset of Tailwind CSS
I have a use case, where my company's application logs will be shipped to S3 in a directory structure such as application/timestamp(one_hour)_logs.parquet. We want to build a simple developer focussed UI, where we can query for a given application for a time range and retrieve a bunch of s3 blobs in that time range and brute force search for the desired string. I see that roapi offers a REST interface for a fixed set of files but I would like to dynamically glob newer files. Are there are alternatives that can be used too ? Thanks
In the general case, I agree. In this case, science research/publication, there should be no trust necessary. The issue here isn't that your average Joe reading an article was fooled. The issue is that the news journalists reporting on this were fooled into writing about bad science. These are the people/organizations whose job it is to curate what to report, and who's trust is lost.
That's interesting.

In many parts of the world, gas prices are going through the roof. Mostly because prices in Europe are over the moon and EU countries are buying every last wisp of gas on the international market (and thus driving prices up there too) .

Do you have a fixed contract or so? How have you managed to avoid noticing so far?
I don’t think that’s fair at all; he’s pointing out a critical flaw — the trust being given out today is given blindly; he’s just pointing out how trivially anyone can participate in that abuse, and with such a low barrier to entry, we should assume there are many malicious actors already executing on it.

Fine, he hasn’t given a solution beyond find better experts, but you’re basically just blaming the messenger; the trust has already been broken, you just don’t know it yet. And the trust-breakers are those experts and verification systems, that don’t actually do any verification. Your advisors aren’t doing their jobs.

And you’re cursing him for showing it to you? Or because the sham should continue uninterrupted? We don’t have a system of trust but verify; we just pretend to.

In the second image, the first and last letters of the text "office of the director of intelligence" are farther away from the center than the letters in the middle, suggesting they haven't been placed on a circular path correctly.

These images are also different in how they render the UFO, and how they render the landscape underneath (the first one has the land in blue and the ocean in white, while the second one has the colors reversed).
It could of course be the AvroCar [1]. Although in this case they are referring to 'UFOs', there have been multiple experimental aircraft that look exactly like flying saucers.

The thing is that Unix(of the day)'s source wasn't full of 100s of pages of vax assembly code ...

VMS wasn't all vax assembly either. VMS and a lot of VAX
system software was mostly written in BLISS [1], a high level language intended for systems programming that was created about the same time as C. It was all there for customers to read in a big stack of microfiche cards delivered with each machine. I remember being shown the code for the VMS scheduler or maybe the dispatcher which was 'a page or two of (VAX) assembly' - I recall it was pointed out that it was one of the (few) places in VMS that did use assembly.

I don't know how portable the BLISS code for VMS was, but there were BLISS compilers for several other machines besides the VAX.

I am no Amazon apologist, but it seems to me they tried to provide a dollar value to stock-based compensation and used a higher-than-today value. That doesn’t seem like malicious intent; it seems like a well-intentioned idea that was derailed by the mercurial stock market. Some sort of disclaimer that the “estimate is provided for demonstration purposes only and is not a promise of actual market value”. I have worked for several companies who provide the fair-market-value equivalent for stock compensation. But it is _stock compensation_.

But I really doubt that this was malicious. Of course it is easier AND morally satisfying to be angry at the mega-corp.

I remember growing up in Canada, there were commercials about "house hippos" [1] and the first time I saw the commercial, I actually believed what was being presented.

Your analogy would apply to someone posting a fake article on one of the news sites. The correct analogy would be the council shutting down a street based on any plan with no checking of credentials repeatedly for decades, and then someone pointing it out by submitting a provably wrong plan.

p-hacking and journalists publishing junk science or downright lies is a very well known problem. People have been pointing it out for years. Publicly shaming them via a story that will sell well is just using the systamic flaw to patch itself. It won't change the net number of sham stories these journalists publish and if anything slightly increases the quality by marginally diluting the harmful stuff being pushed by snake oil salesmen with something comparatively harmless.
There are analogies that make this seem bad (fake construction worker) and analogies that make this seem good (ethical security researcher).

We need to go past the analogy and make a deeper assessment of the factors that matter. For example, what does the bad actor stand to gain? How much harm can they cause? How often is this happening?

For example, if the fake construction worker scheme was used to rob people and it was happening regularly, it might be worth doing something about it.

And "doing something about it" doesn't necessarily mean throwing away trust. There are a bunch of other interventions when you look at the problem holistically, e.g. can we reduce the benefit, reduce the prevalence, reduce the net harm?
Surely whoever designed those was tripping balls
That’s gas marketing bullshit.

The AFUE rating for electric baseboard heating is 100. The AFUE for heat pumps CAN EXCEED 100.

The MOST efficient gas water heaters use 11.9MMBtu/yr.

The LEAST efficient electric water heaters use 8.9MMBtu/yr.

The MOST efficient electric heat pump water heaters use 4.2MMBtu/yr.

Converting gas into BTUs by burning it in a power plant and transmitting it to a home is much better than burning it in the home.

Today I learned the calculator app allows character deletion. Weirdly you can swipe both left/right and they both behave as backspace. That’s pretty weird!

I knew the other gestures, which are nice conveniences. The lack of clear controls in the calculator is a good example of poor discoverability. The other examples are actions which all have more obvious alternatives, either visible in the UI (tab switching of various sorts) or more directly interacting (caret placement). I think it’s fine that those are less discoverable because you don’t actually need to know they exist unless you want to, and they become obvious when you find them.

With, uh, one big exception: the new tab/back button thing is an excellent idea, and I even remember it being announced as a major new Safari feature (on macOS! It might’ve even still been called OS X it’s been around so long). But it’s horribly buggy, leaving phantom tabs and history behind at every turn, and has been the same since it shipped. I think I have a mental model of how it works and its failure modes, but just imagining the explanation is exhausting.

Thank you for the detailed reply, this is fascinating!
The OP's complaint was about an incident from 8 years ago. Regardless, it sounds like a lot of the problems you've experienced stems from renters who fail to honor their original contract or rental agreement -- returning cars hours or days late, or early, just like the OP. Not really sure what you want the rental company to do when cars aren't coming back to them according to schedule.
I think the NAZIs instantiated regular passenger service, so there was no earlier safety record for that. It took a lot of direct subsidy to pay a good chunk of the fare (not just the regular zep RandD)! Of course, the Hindenburg crash wasn't due to heavy weather. Many dirigible crashes happened in heavy weather, particularly US and British versions. See R101 (rainstorm) and USS Akron (storm). Downdrafts are particularly nasty as well. Air resistance goes up by the square of velocity and these are large, relatively light objects, so this is hardly surprising.
Yep that's surely the most exciting part of it.

The biggest lesson to be learned looking at that or older software is that what we optimize has changed over time.

Mostly because of hardware improvements (Moore's Law and all), we changed how we make code. Everything else is only incidental to that. Although often the subject of "heroic" tales of epic nerdery!
If by "periodicity", you mean temporarily switching to a junk food diet before reverting to a balanced diet, your health still suffers during the time that you are on the junk food diet. It would be healthier to restrict calorie intake while sticking with the balanced diet, which would not cause nutritional deficiencies.

Supplements can help make up for some of the deficiencies in a nutrient-poor diet, but no set of supplements will include all of the micronutrients, antioxidants, and other compounds found in a balanced diet of nutrient-dense foods. Most people are better off eating a balanced diet instead of eating junk food and then taking pills to try to fill in some of the gaps.
In some cases, that might’ve been true, but in others, I expect Hertz, when confronted with a rental agreement number, vehicle number, and customer’s name, would have been able to confirm that the agreement was current and valid, making it obvious that the theft report was mistaken or outdated.
I like this answer.

How do you define intellectual maturity?
> If written correctly

Therefore, there are ways to write bad code. Do you think it's reasonable there may be better tools that prevent writing some cases of bad code?

I mean, I think we all can agree that, in general, a codebase with significant test coverage hass less bugs than a similar codebase without test coverage. So, I don't think it's crazy to require, potentially via a tool, some degree of test coverage. Yes, some people will cheat by constructing some bad tests, but, in general, I think we should expect some level of quality improvement.

Rust adds another tool that, on average, should improve quality.

Again, this is not a solution. This is not a silver bullet. Neither is depending on the programmer to write correct code.
Since a reasonable air conditioner or heat pump can easily hit a Coefficient of Performance around 3, I'd say the odds are good. And these systems can be used for both heating and cooling.

Of course, once you've switched to electricity, you then have the flexibility to (later) swap out the back end for something else that is cheaper/less polluting/some other optimization-du-jour.

I don't think it's particularly fair to push the responsibility of peer review onto journalists. Given that the state of diet science is in bad shape, I suppose journalists should be conscious of this fact and do their due diligence, but ultimately this is a failing of the academic world more so than the journalistic one.
>Probably because it was an unsubstantive and possibly snarky comment on a divisive ideological topic. That's flamebait and therefore against the site guidelines.

You wish this were true. People get voted up or down because others agree or disagree with the topic, unsubstantiated or not. Nobody truly follows the spirit of HN rules. People place their own ideologies first and they don't even realize it. It's blatantly obvious that this is the case just by looking at what comments are voted up/down and who gets "banned."
Sortof.

AFAIU, asdf is for providing particular versions of tools (e.g. python, etc.). In the original post, guix is also used to provide library dependencies.

Guix is the free software oriented, lisp flavored cousin of Nix. -- I've used Nix. It's got enough rough edges that writing nix code is pretty much only accessible to enthusiasts.. though, those who can get past the rough edges do recommend it.

The added complexity of guix/nix allow for having an OS distribution where the whole OS config is declared/reproducible.
You are right! I don't think it is polished either, no matter what we try. Having at least a design style to be improving slowly would help.

Also, reverse engineering can be quiet challenging, so there's more focus on functions rather than design.
