- Breakfast cereals

- Pork pies

- Pizza (Domino's is my favourite big chain, but there is a local chain that do a decent 12 inch pizza for a lot cheaper)

- McDonald's double cheeseburgers

- McDonald's double sausage and egg McMuffin

- Dairy Milk chocolate

- Full fat milk

- Cheese of most varieties

All just off the top of my head.
You can't underestimate the amount of personal hatred that Linus and several other linux maintainers have for C++. I can't really say I blame them - C++ before C++11 was a bit of a nightmare in terms of performance and safety.
Yes. American cities are endless sprawl. Yes. American cities have nightmarish commute times. During morning and evening rush, it can take 3 hours to cross the city I live in. The city I grew up in was better, but the same task could still take 30 minutes there, and it was a much smaller city.
Similar story here. Weight crept up from around 90 kilos (already a bit much for my height) to 110 kilos over COVID. I didn't even realize how little I liked being in my body until I lost the first 25 kilos or so. It's unfortunate that some of the damage is permanent :(

Newtons law of motion: Things will keep on going in their same staight line until you change it.
If you keep doing the same, you'll get the same kind of result.

If you want to change, something will have to change. You'll have to do it yourself.

They can be dramatic or incremental - doesn't matter.

The difficulty lies in obtaining Motivation, from a world where everything is comfortable. Modern world does not really require you to do much, so your biology will always gravitate to the least-effort path. That's why McDonald's exists, or why people don't challenge their religious belief-systems.

Do something hard - because it is hard.
And while doing that, think about how you're giving a big FU to society and your biology.

Anger is a really good motivator.
As a primarily dev who grew up on Windows and has just used curl for some basic stuff, wonder what's so hard. That is, on the face of it, curl seems like a quite basic application in the grand scheme of things. Would have been nice with some specific, juicy details.

I've worked on a medium sized open-source project (~500kLOC) that was supported on Windows, Linux and MacOS, so I'm not unfamilar with cross-platform support. For us, MacOS was by far the weirdest of the bunch.

One of the complaints was the path separators. We solved that by just consistently using / everywhere internal. Any supplied paths would get converted right away. Not really an issue to write home about IMHO.

Yeah, although there is fair degree of turnover to different big-tech companies as well (especially now to get a nice RSU new-hire grant at a lower share price). On pulse surveys there is always a question "how many years are you planning on staying" and it tops off at 9+ :)

I joined my first FAANG as a staff engineer working remotely about a year ago and will stay as long as they will have me! Even with the location adjustment and market downturn I am making a great income for the Midwest and get to lead some interesting projects in embedded engineering.

My point is that these cards have all sorts of potential uses. They're a programmable physical tokens that display a fixed image until updated by physical contact with the plinth. Playing cards are just one set of use cases. The device itself is more general than that, potentially.
I've got to answer no. I use an iPhone XS, which is about 4 years old, and it's working just fine for me. Given the number of people I personally know with iPhones, most of them are older than 2 years.
My take on this, although it is not entirely clear from the article, is that Epic wants to move most of their computing to the cloud and Google felt left out and now they have a hospital chain who wants to partner which gives Epic a reason to add Google cloud compatibility (i.e., a customer will pay for the translation). There are a variety of things that might happen to the data once it is in the cloud. AI's can be trained on all the patient data and look for correlations (such as "all doctor X's patients do poorly" or "Unit 12 is responsible for most sepsis problems".) AI's are NOT going to be making a diagnosis any time soon, the doctors won't stand for it, and there is no AI capable of it yet. Even AI's that inspect radiology can only report to a real radiologist who then has to make their own decision (and is legally responsible for that decision.)

Another use of the cloud data is to aggregate data across many institutions, mostly to allow medical studies. The NHS in Britain has all their patients in one database which allowed them to do incredible studies related to the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic. Currently the US has no such capability, all that data is in silo's in each health institution, each with their own data formats and their own workflow. Get all the data into clouds, all in the same format, and it can be used for medical research across a much larger population. There are privacy concerns, but there are very desirable benefits to everyone. It would be preferable if government got involved rather than having industry do this for profit. The forced change to electronic health records would have been the perfect time to do this, but the lobbyists won instead so the US health datasphere is still highly fragmented. Migration to the cloud might be another opportunity to fix the problem.

Yeah it is definitely from that era 2007~ ruby though is like the friendly python. Dependency’s usually just work and it doesn’t get mad at your style - it’s very accepting and importantly IMO the stack traces are much easier to use to identify the root cause of a bug compared to python …
They won't. Tech companies are shedding employees and they hired way too many during covid.
I was a longtime subscriber of Courrier Internationale, in print. The issue is if many articles are originally in English then I feel like they should be read in English to avoid the nuances lost in translation. Second issue was the latency: the translation process first then getting it in print. The topic has to be a bit evergreen otherwise I feel the world has already moved on.
Smart asbestoes.
We just passed 1 month since acquisition, and yet the multitude of articles(and 1000's of posts here on HN) calling out Twitter for not paying it's debts makes it seem like they are > 30/60/90 in arrears. I understand it's a shit show, but pouring gas on the fire is not helping; the exact opposite, as I presume it is intended.

Weaponized Media has gone mainstream.
Sounds like an excellent situation! Just remember that good situations don't always stay good, so stay up-to-date, stay sharp, and be ready for something new if/when things change. The best thing is that if this really is a good job at a good company, you're probably doing those things already.
Id say its not the lack of empathy that you feel, but maybe the non trivial effort to normalize morbid obesity that is met with hostility.

We should not celebrate morbid obesity as normal and beautiful.

We gain nothing from villanizing people that suffer from it either.

I personally have never suffered obesity but as the years go on, my body seems to want to put a ludicrous amount of fat in places it never used to.
I maintain muscle mass by regular resistance training mixed with cardio and HIIT and that helps a lot with the otherwize natural loss of muscle over 40. Personally this is where excercise definetly helps me.

Also now at 50, I dont have insulin resistance or high blood pressure as many of my fellow 50 year olds are falling prey to.

Even the healthy weight 50 year olds around me are starting blood pressure medication.
This is where I beleive the excercise regime I follow has worked wonders.
Not so much for weight loss as many seem to think.

It gets harder every year though to maintain physique and low body fat.

Excercise has tremendous benefits for your health and looks but for great weight loss is a matter of nutrition and what particular combo suits your body, economy and culture.

Can you expand on last para? Who are you referring to as Hair Force One?
I guarantee you there are many, many people who think about their weight way more often than "once in a while" (more like "every waking moment"), but still struggle massively with disordered eating due to a variety of factors that make it far less simple than you're making it out to be.
I think "the right path" here is finding happiness regardless of your weight. Whether that involves losing weight, or eating/exercising a bit differently or simply being happy and comfortable with the build you currently have.

People can spend their lives spiralling into depression and ill-health by constantly following diets or setting goals that even if they achieve doesn't always make them feel satisfied. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't do anything in particular - but I hope you don't feel pressured or guilted into something by what others say or what you think they feel.

The fact that you can look in the mirror and think "that's not too bad" means you're already happier than a lot of people - there are some shredded people with physiques you or I may envy, but who are either miserable about their lifestyle or who still just don't like how they look.

I don't know how this comment comes across - but my intent was to give a little support that wasn't just "you can lose weight too!" because that is not the be-all-and-end-all :)
It hit me when I had to google a translator for tailwind. Why do I use tailwind if I already know CSS?
Then later it hit me again, why is it called cascade style sheet - it's supposed to be separated the style from markup.
And well why use an entire JS engine to rewrite some CSS.
> job stability is super important. You might have a family, a hefty savings/retirement account, etc.

These two sentances seem contradictory. If you have a large savings / retirement, don't you have a LARGER parachute / less stress looking for a job? I mean unless yeah you've gone so far on the hedonistic treadmill that you can barely afford your month to month bills.

I don't know, I've never been out of a job for more than like 2 months of actively looking, I think software developers are way to paranoid about job hunting.

For people who weren’t kids in the UK, Blue Peter is a very long running weekly BBC TV programme aimed at kids. Common tropes include the studio pet(s) and garden, charity events, and the Blue Peter badge that you got for sending in a letter with a tip or other challenges (and which qualified you for various discounts at venues around the UK).

It's a bit hard to see how this RCT trick could be useful for reducing anything besides the number of gliders.

RCT is basically one very unreasonable end of a wide spectrum: you can use a very small number of gliders to build something, as long as you're content to have the construction take a ridiculously long time. Conversely, you can build that same thing in a lot less time, but it will take a lot more gliders.
I think this is one of the most impressive parts to me. I would be comfortable approaching the embedded and mechanical aspects of this project, but I don't have the drawing skills. Being able to generate decent card designs for a demo deck is awesome.
Very interesting. A biological cell is a 3-D self-replicating pattern (or is it 2-D rather?). Does GoL give us some insight into the nature of biological cells?

What was the deception? I don't see anyone posting any evidence of claims that the photos are undoctored or manipulated and the artist in question makes a career of doing exactly that.

The only deception here is self deception from "journalists" who stole a published her image without bother to do any actual legwork.
What narrative manipulation have you seen from The Economist? I haven’t noticed it so perhaps I am being manipulated! I’d love to hear your insight!
The Spectator is hyper-partisan nonsense that will make you less well informed. I can't imagine who the "left wing" writers on it are supposed to be?
I don't have any particular opinion about Go. Just occurred to me there might be a more charitable interpretation of the comment.
I agree, I have tried to train my brain into thinking weightloss and fitness are separate entities.

It surprises me that this invalid logic is continually reinforced by the media and even health professionals.

The most weight I ever lost was during 2020 lockdown when I made the consious decision to eat a bit less. I did virtually no exercise, one 30min walk each day, and I had no access to fitness equipment at home.
It's hard because those who design EV, PV etc do not own them, do not understand them. They simply execute some order "do so", ignorantly.

That's why only few weeks ago we have seen an initial standard for biderectional DC support. That's why there is still NO PV inverter who actually output 400V DC for stationary batteries who happen to be the same in EVs avoiding wasting 25-30% of energy in useless multiple transformation.

That's the issue of private led initiatives: public research propose visionary solution, implement them, give them to the public with some standard concepts. The private sector then pick and implement.

Like we do now, anyone try to offload research costs to customers, push their own standards and nothing really work.
Ah that is a bit unusual. We're roughly the same age, and I only switched to kg after going abroad - otherwise bodyweight was always stone for me.

This book changed the way I think about user experience as a developer. I’m not a designer at all but when building a UI I try to think of it from a user perspective now because of this book.
Also, well looks like a lot of people here don't like this style of CSS coding.

As someone who's been writing HTML since Netscape days, I find Tailwind/UnoCSS plus a modern web framework (React/Vue/Solid JS) the most productive way to develop websites ever.

The main thing is in a single React or Solid JS component, you can have all the code, html and styling for a component in one file or most of the time in one function even.

No more having to deal with jumping around between template and css files, having to search for where a class or a styling is defined, or trying to figure out how to structure or even name the css classes. No more having to make decisions like "Should I put this styling in this class or that class or in a classless selector."

For me, it just saves too much time to not use.

I was skeptical at first, but once I started using it, I could never go back.

Why did you choose to use Stripe, given you wanted an anonymous publishing platform?

While the use doesn't need to enter their cardholder name, their card details, ip address and any reference numbers can be tracked in Stripe's dashboard (Payment method info, Risk Insights, Related Payments).

While scheme payments are never truely anonymous, an approach you could use would be to tokenize card holder data and charge it to various linked PSPs. Such an approach would avoid all payments to one provider and obfuscate the user's ip address (since you are doing a server-to-server integration). Such a solution would typically add ~4c to your transaction costs.
Problem is, he thinks moderate means tolerating two extremes as opposed to being hostile to both extremes. There is speech made in bad faith and hostile intent and there is sincere exchange of thoughts.

I think others have given good recommendations, but will add the Atlantic and New Yorker.

Also agree that a problem with The Economist is that it is always overtly pushing a particular view of the view world (rooted in a faith in the rationality of markets), which is coupled with fairly strong advice/prescriptions in much of the writing.

I enjoy the Economist (haven't noticed any change in quality), and if I had time for a second source I would probably be leaning towards the New Statesman. I somewhat foolishly subscribed to the New European after learning about it on "The Rest is Politics" (podcast with Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell); it is unashamedly far-left and mostly just full of rants - so I wouldn't recommend that.

That's very curious! We definitely see way more DWARF opcodes in the wild, including `DW_CFA_remember_state`, `DW_CFA_restore_state`, `DW_CFA_advance_*`, among others.

Statistically speaking, a profiler has more chances of bumping into program counters (PCs) that fall in ranges defined by a larger set of DWARF opcodes. We run at 100Hz, which can quickly yield a large number of different program counters, while I assume that most debugging sessions won't hit that many different PCs.

Factbox: A chronology of dissent in China in recent decades
The Economist has always, since its foundation, been capital-L Liberal. That's the lens through which everything is written.

Knowing that informs you about the selection of topics they cover and the angles they will take. It doesn't make it bad - I read it for years although gave up mid-2010s - but it can be quite predictable. It's still capable of producing very high quality and thoughtful writing, which makes it more annoying when they choose not to.

Recommendation: maybe the FT?
Also, even if the maximum number of gliders is fixed (15), that does not imply any limit on the amount of information needed to store their positions.

The glider positions might very well require more storage than the desired pattern itself.
This toFixed is if the precision is below 16, JS just doesn't work with more, you literally can't have more than 16 digits after the decimal, JS will round it (very poorly btw)

BTW if one needs to round to more than 16 you can use toLocaleString and pass minimum and maximum fraction digits which has a limit of 20. Ain't much but you could not expect more from JS :D
