I've come to the conclusion that "experts" is just a wildcard for journalists to quote random people. Of course every "expert" has to have some track record of the subject in question but there's no measure in qualification.

For instance having a track record of wrong predictions in specific economic questions doesn't seem to invalidate your status as an "expert". So what does? And what could an "expert" possible be if there are no usable criteria.
Your analogy is flawed because this is Hackernews and, superior beings that we are, we understand body odor to be a symptom of a microbiome that's out of whack due to "modern life". Accordingly, we don't bathe in order to cultivate healthy skin bacteria; some of us wallow in mud instead.
Call a local machine shop, mechanic or welder and ask. Almost every town and city has a store that specializes in hardware for tradies that has better pricing and selection than HD or Ace or homeowner stores.

You may need to charge… but the Garmin uses something like ~10mAh/day? You could top off the watch for months with a single pair of AAA batteries.
Email hashes are not very useful as additional headers are added to the email every step on the way. Even if you send an email to yourself, the copy in the Sent Mail folder has a different hash than the one in Inbox.

They're not mutually exclusive.

How fructose is metabolized is so well understood at this point it's clearly a major factor in obesity and diabetes. It's the primary cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease AIUI.

And it hasn't been removed from the US diet. That's very unlikely to occur until corn subsidies go away. Even once that occurs it'll take awhile for such a huge industry to evolve away from such a mature supply chain. It strikes me as a problem resembling pivoting from fossil fuels. It won't happen quickly, and we haven't even started yet w/fructose.

Which is why I don't think the graph at that twitter link above is even plausibly true. Furthermore there's massive business interest in convincing the public sugar isn't the problem, so don't bother stopping consuming it. That's what all the sugar addicts certainly want to hear anyways.
I see it as a trade-off. You get more flexibility but at the cost of a home office (not to mention it could be expensed or factored into the salary somehow). I'm more worried about the perception of remote workers and how that will affect promotions in the long run.
Never mind industrial uses. It’s nearly impossible to find the right sized bolt or screw for a basic residential task on Amazon. For example, to replace a furniture screw that was lost during a move.
Ten years ago, maybe. Partially because they were impossible to configure. I have a Leenucks desktop and getting a HP or Brother laser printer to remember how to talk to it is like teaching pakleds warp field theory.

But mostly I stopped because there was a critical mass of people who seemed to be okay with me emailing PDFs.

If I need to print something, I email it to kinkos. I've probably spent $20 on printing there in the last 3 years so it probably saves money as well.
Ad blockers used to be something mostly for the nerds way back when. These days, browser extensions are as easy to install as phone apps. So, yes, quite a lot of regular users have some kind of adblock these days. Overall it's still the minority, but it's not necessarily a small one.

One one hand i absolutely agree. But on the other, has anybody, Apple included, figured out any terribly useful apps for a watch that doesn’t already come built in or partner with a phone?

> But parsing them tends to be less error-intensive if you hit some kind of connection interruption.

Never heard of the ">From" problem? :)

mbox has a well-documented escaping problem -- many tools which parse mbox files will mistake a line which begins with the word "from" for the start of a new message. As a result, many tools which generate mbox data will insert a ">" before the start of those lines, mangling the data slightly to prevent corruption.

But that's besides the point. mbox/maildir are data storage formats, not network protocols. The corresponding network protocols (POP and IMAP) have their respective problems as well, though.
Yeah, if you can buy what you want at big box hardware store, then do, prices won't get much lower than that, and you'll get something that's certified to a standard. McMaster is useful if your time is worth too much to waste it on trips to Home Depot, or if you want something less standard.
If you want to use JSON and paging but are stuck with regular IMAP servers, you can use https://EmailEngine.app between your app and the mail server.
This was primarily driven by a 5% tax cut for the richest UK tax payers, totally unfunded.
They are not especially new, but they are not in C.

C is the language that invites in mistakes. The less C we code, the fewer mistakes we ship.
Likewise, Amazon almost always delivers to me before their estimate and the estimate is very standard. No one else I order from is doing better.

I avoid using Amazon, so as you can imagine, I don’t have a prime membership. It doesn’t seem to matter.
Sorry to break it to you but referring to dropbox won’t make this a viable solution.
Americans voted for Obama because of hope; did good times come about? I don't think so.

Then Americans voted for Trump because of fear; did bad times come about? Definitely.

You might be onto something with the fear part, but I don't think the hope part really works. People buying into hope can easily just be misguided hope and not based on reality. People buying into fear means things really have gone bad.
But that's all already done for you in the mcmaster add in for solidworks.

But our notion of a balanced diet is wrong, which is the whole point of this. Who knows what a balanced diet really is now?
A legend is a traditional story sometimes regarded as historical but isn't authenticated. You are saying that a legend is a story that is believed to be false. That is exactly opposite from the meaning of the word and is NOT something believed by "all people."
Never mind the operand order; what do we gain by using constexpr instead of const?

In C++, const int x = 3 is already a constant. As of C++98 already, you can use x as a case label in a switch statement.

It cannot be any more constant.

Not cool any more?
It's moving the other way from what I've seen. It's becoming absurd / unheard of to work in the office at least in early stage startups, and those expectations are carrying through series A/B and beyond and larger companies are really feeling the pressure. I hope we divy up all these useless skyscrapers into a public good like free high quality public housing :)

I hear you, but I'm also the type of person to admit my own uncertainty. And the people around me get way more uptake of their ideas by just leaving out those words, even when they have less or terrible foundations.
I'm Canadian, and I lived in Vancouver for six years recently. Never once did I consider working for a Canadian company. They're a joke when it comes to compensation. You can literally double your salary by moving 100 miles south to Seattle, in the same company! When I changed jobs earlier this year, some companies had location based pay for remote work. They made me a lowball offer, I told them it was too low, and I didn't even bother negotiating further with them. I just focused on the other offers.

Turns out other countries still haven't gotten the point of public libraries. Once you own a book, it's your property. You don't have to pay a fee to lend out your own property. This is how it works in America, where free public libraries were invented.
Since you have the inside scoop does this mean that as a result your health data is hooked into your regular gmail/docs account and the info sold to whomever wants to buy it as well as used for advertising? Say I'm 40lbs overweight and 55 so I'm quite possibly have diabetes and would be a mark for diabetes medicine?
It is still the most profitable and popular form of distribution though. You do have to fight the DMCA battles, but when it's your income you're gonna do that. That doesn't prove your point.

Got it.

But he is wrong? No one expects an economic argument to call the exact bottom to the date. If the sterling keeps weakening for two weeks more, I'll call him wrong. The other things he said, about the foreign debts and the likelihood of not paying, seem obviously correct to me.
> Which would you rather type out a hundred thousand times?

Neither. But that proofs my point, Lisp is unreadable for the average user. If your first instinct is to not use the language itself, but write your own DSL on top of it to make it readable, maybe that language ain't such a good choice.
Depending on the app, do you really expect companies to devote X resources (maybe even a full, separate iOS team) specifically to maintain a version of an app for older devices?

Maybe that's feasible for the larger tech companies but not the smaller ones.
In a better world, we’d have more companies like McMaster selling people what they need and providing a highly valued service, instead of using ads and weaponized psychology to convince them to buy some more junk they don’t need that’s going to end up in a landfill by December.
There's some truth to this but it's a pessimistic and ultimately counterproductive take on people.

Rather I would say that high agreeableness (and maybe to some degree conscientiousness or extroversion) [1] is correlated with the likelihood that someone will change their opinions in order to conform with a group.

So if you don't like that personality trait, you can seek out less agreeable people, there are plenty of them out there. The only trouble will be that if you need to collaborate with them, you may have a hard time getting anything done!

There is survivor bias among groups - if a bunch of people all have different opinions and aren't willing to modify them, they're unlikely to remain a group for long.

I recently rewatched the first Matrix movie and came to the conclusion that it is as well crap, when compared to Dark City.
There's also something weird with the way they programmed the site itself, which prevents you from opening certain links in a separate browser tab. it's really annoying when I'm not sure exactly what I need and I want to read all 10 product descriptions or whatever. I end up having to copy and paste the product URL and work backwards, rather than going all through the parts-filtering flow 10 times over from the beginning.

Otherwise the site is flawless in my opinion.
Rock auto also gets a vote for great sites.

>I believe that change will happen dramatically in software sometime soon. If you use your imagination, you might see that change has to happen because of economic pressure. There aren’t enough programmers, the salaries are getting very high, and technology demands are growing exponentially.

okay so in twenty years that would be 2042, that is around mid century that has many negative climate change predictions, and it assumes our energy supply by that time will continue to increase with the demand for more tech, people somehow will manage to carry on and adjust and adapt to climate change with clean energy and it will not be severe enough to limit tech ambitions.

based on what you believe should software developers[ today ]continue to think of themselves as employees-first? or owners first? an AI can't own anything, corporations own the AI. In this context are you thinking of software engineers as co-owners or labor?
It seems like a lot of money for a bike missing many features now considered essential: disc brakes, and lots of gears namely. The article says it only has 4 speeds; that's really pathetic for a modern bicycle, and it sounds like it would be horrible for hilly terrain. Disc brakes are also a must-have on a modern road bike (costing $3600), though I guess if you're not riding on any hills maybe it won't seem so important. The frame is also ugly and probably doesn't have any of the aerodynamic or compliance features that are now normal on bikes in that price range, since he doesn't have the resources of a company like Trek to do simulation and wind tunnel testing.

Maybe he should have set his sights lower, and made a lower-cost, low-performance bike with this drivetrain instead. An aluminum-frame city bike with this would make more sense to at least get it out there.
There’s a good exchange in the classic video game Star Control 2 (now open source, available in most package managers as “uqm”), when the player encounters a species of plant‐like alien:

>> I am Captain Zelnick from Earth. We come in peace.

> I am Captain Ala‐la’la. We come in peace.

>> Our starship is called Vindicator.

> Our starship is called the Tender Shoot.

>> We are the New Alliance of Free Stars from Earth.

> We are the Supox Utricularia from Earth.

>> You’re from Earth??? Hey! Are you just copying whatever I say?

> Oh yes, we apologize for the confusion, our homeworld is also called ‘Earth’, or more properly ‘Vlik’, which means ‘Perfectly Good and Nutritious Dirt’. ‘Earth’ is pretty close, is it not?
Choosing to write a book that nobody wants to buy is no different from choosing to roll a boulder up a hill. You better be in it for fun because you're not doing anything of value to anybody else.

If you want to volunteer for homeless shelters or something, then you can sleep sound with the knowledge that what you're doing is worth a great deal to people who can't afford to compensate you for it. But writing books nobody wants to buy is not that sort of selfless act of charity.
I was lucky enough to be in the group that ran Dr. Kahneman's talk at Google, so I was at lunch with him & 8 or so others. I asked him,

"Dr. Kahneman, you've been writing about thinking for 40 years. Do you think you've changed how people think at all?"

He said, "No, not even me." He proceeded to tell a story where he fell into the "eloquence trap" that he, himself, wrote about: a doctor said something, and he said to his daughter, "that doctor is very impressive!"

She'd learned his lessons better than he had: she said that what mattered was how much experience the doctor had in this particular area, not how good she sounded.

Tunnelling everything through post is the normal way to do e.g. rpc over http. It’s not a soap thing, it’s also how xml-rpc, json-rpc, and graphql work.

More generally it’s how you layer over http when you can’t necessarily guarantee respecting its requirements like purity, idempotence, or cacheability (or don’t want to bother), or when you fear hitting it’s practical implementation limits.

Hacked and Banned from Facebook
My daughter was hacked some time ago, they deleted her images and contacts but she as able to recover her account.

But these hackers have clearly moved up to a whole new level of pure evil as they posted a child pornography video on my site. Of course my page was taken down and I was banned.

Now, no human to talk to. I have lodged a Police Report, seems they cant even get access to the page and the video content. Why are Facebook not lodging a police report? They are trafficking child pornography not me!!

I'm a 63 year old grandma. I could open a new account with fake ID but then how can I get my deceased parents to add me as a friend? How can I see the trips and travels I have made around the world again? And many friends I have are only Facebook and Messenger friends and that's how we chose to keep in contact without thinking the this can be taken away in an instant.

There's a button to download data but it doesn't download anything because its around 15 years to posts and pics!!

Punish the Hacker Facebook, not the victim!!
Well, at least pre-Ultra, Apple was rather deficient in outdoor activity apps including hiking. But that may now be moot with the Ultra. (And the Ultra probably explains Apple's benign neglect of this area prior.)

The blowup of Terra/Luna may be the single greatest market tragedy in South Korea since the IMF intervention. Do Kwon ruined his own people and seems to show very little remorse for it.

Some may view him as a scapegoat - I do not. Credit is to where credit is due. The man who patted himself on the back, boasting about his wealth and accomplishment, should also take credit for what happened subsequently.

Accountability ought to be a basic tenet of the crypto ecosystem and yet so many people seem to come here to escape it.
You would, again, have to define "lower-risk" in this case, given that the typical meme-esque risk placed on soy is not actually a proven issue.

That said, yes, even if you're not eating meat you should opt to get protein from a variety of sources.
I think this is not at all uncommon. I am largely in the same boat and assumed this was the 'de facto norm' amongst my peers as a teen (90s NZ), but it's interesting to consider that groups are often defined by what they are not.
Loading/storing multiple registers was also more important for the early ARM processors, because they had no cache at all, so storing or loading registers one at a time required multiple instructions to be fetched from off-chip RAM, tying up bus bandwidth and stalling the pipeline (such as it was).

Same. In my case, I paid my way through law school doing software development contract work, which paid better than entry level lawyer work. Now I do a mix of software consulting/contracting and IP technical expert work (patent/copyright infringement analysis, claim charts, etc). I enjoy doing both kinds of work, though I really enjoy legal writing and I'd like to get more into IP litigation, writing pleadings, motions, oppositions, etc.
