I was skeptical and did some further reading, but it seems like there's other papers showing that diabetes is reversible with weightloss. In particular:

- This 2006 paper found that bariatric surgery can reverse diabetes: [2006]

- This paper reversed diabetes in people purely through calorie restriction: [2011]

- This survey article [2020] finds that about half (!) of diabetics who lose 15 kg totally reverse type 2, and no longer need any medication. It also proposes mechanisms for why this works.

I'm not a doctor or a medical researcher and don't have the skill to read these studies carefully. But it seems that it's generally known now that diabetes is reversible with dieting? Of note the 2020 article is a little stricter than TFA: it says that the HbA_1c threshold has to below 6.5% even after six months of no medication, while TFA defines it as three months. Given that the "only 2.8% of control group individuals achieved remission", it's possible that intermittent fasting only helped vis-a-vis weight loss, and as long as you lose enough weight you can potentially reverse diabetes.

It'd be nice if TFA was on sci-hub.

I second Tailwind as I can't stand complexity, so I'm trying to simplify the entire stack down for _just_ my needs. Tailwind is a big part of simplifying my life.

The other part is that I'm trying to simply "fix HTML", and I believe HTMX is pretty great. I'm taking a different approach as I have a reactive backend, and I can make the HTML simply be a template of a streaming JSON object. It's like mustache with reactive data binding.

I'm enjoying, but I'm not a consultancy so I don't need to push the framework for every usecase.
We also just exited a decade of extraordinarily low inflation. Cumulative inflation over the past decade for the CPI-U "all items, all regions" is 31% since 2012 (228 -> 298). Which is basically 3% annualized, or "normal".
I think if you understand the inner workings or jQuery, it's still nice to chain multiple operations together and keep your user code smaller than pure JS. It's also helpful that so many devs have become familiar with jQuery over time, rather than bringing on someone that needs to parse all of your vanilla JS (everyone seems to have their own way of doing things).
Because the whole purpose of the exercise is to manufacture right-wing agitprop, not an actual good-faith effort to provide transparency to the public?

I would not be too surprised if some took offense to the imagery, especially of the svelte woman in the elevator with her one piece black outfit and shades. Too much Hollywood/Black Widow.

For me, I'd recommend watching "The Night Manager" some time. Specifically, Olivia Colman's role as Angela Burr. Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston certainly broke a few preconceptions for me, but she was the one I thought deserved some accolades for her character and how she portrayed it.

The reason he claimed sensor fusion was not working well was due to vendor versioning. He claimed the same sensor from different manufacturing batches performed differently and thus needed to be re-characterized, which then has follow on effects in various math models. Multiply this by many sensors, and the need for replacement parts inventory for a decade or two and the problem becomes intractable was his claim on his most recent appearance on the LF podcast.

My bike was stolen this year when I visited Utrecht, in the Netherlands. It wasn't even my bike: it was my sister's folding Birdy. They retail for over €2000 these days, but I assumed that thieves would be put off by the fifteen years of scratches and dents on it. Also by the €135 German lock.

I locked it up next to a bike path, with lots of other bikes. I made sure to fold the handlebar down so it couldn't possibly interfere with passing cyclists. I met my Dutch friend and had wonderful pedalo journey around the city. Utrecht is great, you should visit.

When I got back it was gone. There was a young woman nearby, in tears. Her bike was also gone. My memory's not what it used to be: had I, in fact, left it somewhere else? But I then found what remained of my lock: a cleanly sliced 5cm long section.

It wasn't insured but I thought I'd report it to the police anyway. Always good to have up-to-date crime statistics! And it's unusual enough in terms of model and colour that maybe I'd get it back one day. The police were polite and spoke excellent English. However, a tourist reporting a stolen bike apparently required assistance from a second, and then a third, member of staff. It took over twenty-five minutes of wrangling with computers and ring binders to establish that I needed to have an in-person interview to report the theft. No, none of the three staff were able to do that now. I'd have to book one. When was the next available interview slot? Not until next week, after my departure from the city.

Later that night I was morosely googling "bike crime utrecht". Cheering myself up with bit of confirmation bias. Despite not reading Dutch I was able to figure out from the local government's website that there is a depot to which the authorities remove illegally-parked bikes. Not only that, it has a web interface where you can search for your bike. I do wonder why the police didn't mention this possibility during our lengthy encounter.

My bike was, of course, there. I sheepishly collected it, paying the nominal fee, and failing to dispute the "evidence" that they provide in their computer system (a photo of a sign prohibiting bike parking. I went back to the scene of the crime later; the sign was nowhere near, and was even on the other side of the road).

Moral of the story: use one of the many free municipal bike parks when you're in the Netherlands.
Afaik, they are not. They have best charging network in United States. They come low in reliability index. And many people like their software.

They are not obvious winner among EV cars currently. They were first to do actual high end EV car and that vision changed the market back then.

I should probably have said patterns, not paradignms but this beside the point.

I mean stuff that is common enough to deserve a defintion and a best practice laid out in a human computer interface (HCI) guideline document for a platform/OS.

Off the top of my head:

Tab closing behaviour on Chrome/FF. Close a tab, other tabs shift but don't change size immediately so you the next tab's close button is directly under the mouse and can bel clicked to close another tab (and another, and ...).

Another one: the typical chat app with servers/groups/contacts on a list on the left and the chat on the right (and possibly threads on the far right).

There is no good standard for this, everyone cooks their own soup so stuff you learned for Slack doesn't apply in Discord etc. I.e. it's a pattern of some sort but there are no Windows/macOS/Qt/GTK interface guidelines covering this case and/or suggesting best practices.
This includes e.g. platform standard keybindings to select stuff in such apps (at best Tab switching works).

Another one is use of (some) Markdown-inspired stuff in chat apps. I.e. `monospaced` ```monospaced multline``` or even ```<language for syntax highlighting> ...```.

In Slack ``` works but ```<lang> doesn not (but does in Discord, used to work in Slack in the past, I think).

I think there are many such patterns that are maybe not as groundbreaking than the invention of tabs (90's?), combo boxes/menus (also 90's? When there are too many choices for radio buttons) etc.

But beause they are used in some form (or another, unfortunately) by many apps now, the OS vendors should define a best practice for implementing their end-user facing functionality/behavior in their HCI guidelines.

Even if the platform itself doesn't provide a ready-made widget for each such case.

Hope that makes sense and explains what I meant.

> Why does Python do all this? So that you can have O(1) character indexing. If you gave up on that, you wouldn't need to convert the string at all, you could just leave it as (potentially invalid) UTF-8 data.

Seems like "giving up" would've been better choice, considering just how rare operation that is. Or alternatively doing the conversion lazily the first time operation needing runes instead of bytes happen.

Most string operations are not accessing string by index and most of them even at O(n) would be fast enough because n is small. Like in typical "get a file name, extract some info from it", you're doing extraction once and anything after that doesn't need character indexing, because you already got the relevant data.
You definitely have thought this through. Is there a reason that you don't have a page with the posts with >N replies, or the posts with the most recent replies, available on the notado.app?
Hello,

I am a detail-oriented professional with diverse skills and experience, I am an extremely focused and results-oriented individual. Currently in search of a remote EA/PA role, or similar. I also have experience in HR and operations management, well versed in the startup world. I am able to offer your expertise in the HR, coordination, planning, and execution of complex daily operational support for CEO and Executive level staff in addition to keen technology and project coordination experience.

My roles in the past ranged from Senior Administrative Coordinator, HR Generalist, to Executive Assistant, I have achieved significant results by identifying process improvements and motivating staff to streamline processes.

I am adept at providing administrative support and reporting of a highly complex nature to the CEO and the Executive Management team, shareholders, and Board of Directors; exercising judgment to reflect the CEO’s style and company policy; working independently to manage priorities, solve problems and complete high volume tasks with little to no supervision; direct management of monthly Board of Directors meetings and various committees compiling accurate preparation of materials, including agendas and minutes, and distribution of materials maintaining confidentiality.

I am located in the PST time zone but happy to be flexible to work across multiple! I have linked my resume above for review!

Thank you,
Emily
Can you get those loans for grad school/dental school cause my girlfriends dental schooling was over 100k a year so easy peasy if so.
Sure, but that's true of everything. The dollar is still worth one dollar, too. But we still say that the dollar is losing value to inflation, and we experience it every time we try to buy something else with dollars. (Buying dollars with dollars is rather pointless.) And I'm pretty sure you know all that, and the parent post was just an attempt at a deflection.

Bitcoin has lost half its value compared to every other currency in the world. You know, those no-good-easy-to-inflate fiat currencies. Compared to gold, too, if that floats your boat. Compared to a basket of goods, which is how inflation is measured for everything else.

So, yeah. Compared to everything except itself, it's lost half its value in the past year. That doesn't make me feel like "Bitcoin is a necessity for the survival of Western civilization" is a very objective look at the reality of the situation.

The most popular JavaScript engine (V8) is written mostly in C++. Same with WebKit. Other JS engines are written in Rust, like Deno or Servo (used in parts of Firefox).

I'm not aware of a major Javascript engine which is written in C, except for QuickJS, which is not "major" in any sense of popularity but is an efficient engine for embedded use cases (and anything from Fabrice Bellard is always work a look).
> The previous bans were controversial because they marginalized a voice. It was never about the specific people in question. It was basically invalidating the voice of many people since these were highly influential people or politicians.

Maybe I misunderstand you, but whose voice are you calling marginalized? Is it not the voice of politicians like e.g. Trump? Is Trump not a white rich and powerful person (I was not specifically talking about Musk).

I think the problem was actually that Twitter under previous leadership was way too lenient with powerful people. Take Trump for example, he was arguably breaking Twitter TOS on a regular basis, but never faced consequences (I'd argue because he was driving engagement so it was not in Twitters interest to ban him). When they finally banned him, it thus seemed arbitrary.

Similarly, how come Musk never got a suspension for his pedo comments, also pretty clearly a TOS violation.

I think therein lies the main problem with most social media platforms, they clearly have different standards for people who are influential enough and the rest of the population and this is by no way a left/right thing.
This strategy worked pretty well for Trump. Not a bad guess
US is surprisingly bad at this though: in Germany, you get on Autobahn and you know the lane you are in is going to go forever. In US you get on a highway, get to the leftmost lane, it gets to the city, you driver straight and suddenly find yourself in the exit lane on the right? Who designs highways this way?!?!
I was talking about Merit Financial/Goldline, who relentlessly advertise buying physical gold bars and coins as a safe haven asset for people easily confused by the economy. They encourage listeners to put their IRA in physical gold instead of stocks, bonds, or $USD, and allow you to keep the gold you bought safely insured in their vaults (for usurious rates) for retirement.

I suppose you're probably right, their claim that they're superior to other securities and exchanges would not actually bring them under the jurisdiction of the SEC.

I think they were talking about SponsorBlock, which was mentioned on another same-level comment. Probably just didn't realize this was a separate sub-chain (or whatever you call it) without that context.
The high-level apis are stuff like Unity/Unreal/Godot.
I really hope they have a big overhaul coming for Audacity. It's a powerful tool but the UI is (at best) severely dated. Tantacrul's initial analysis of Audacity's UX had me hopeful that there'd be rapid progress towards modernizing it.
I use CAD software for work. Starting in my current role I was given a laptop with Windows 11 preinstalled. I discovered my CAD software wasn't compatible with Win11 and had to downgrade to Win 10. Without fail, once a month, when I restart my computer, Windows prompts me to "upgrade" from Win 10->11 for free. There is no way to shut this feature off that I know of and frankly I just click NO three times and move on. Windows hasn't been this bad since Vista. I miss Win7.

Not sure about rest of world, but in the US adverts often play at much louder volumes than the content being enjoyed.
This is great. I wish there was a way to limit the volume on Alexa devices for different services, especially Spotify. I like to fall asleep to podcasts, but it wakes my girlfriend up when the commercials start (especially iHeartRadio commercials!), so I either have it so low I can barely hear or I have to fall asleep to rain/ocean sounds.
I remember some Eurorack module used Web MIDI in it's configuration app. It wasn't a pleasant experience back then.

Apple removing it is weird considering the platform prevalence with musicians...
You have to consider that Chrome is the default on most Android distributions. A more apt analog would be FF's similarly poor market share on Windows or macOS.
Doing such aggregations is pointless. The majority of traffic accidents are caused by drunk drivers, drivers who are too young/too old, people on their phones or otherwise distracted, people driving in bad conditions, people driving unsafe cars etc. So yes, while Tesla autopilot may be better than all of them on average, I will still only use it if it is better than ME.
Except the stats *do* matter. It’s how we measure things that operate in the real world. The blind baby stroller benchmark might be academically interesting, but if distracted drivers are smashing kids on public roads for another decade while Waymo perfects it’s craft the net result is just more flat people.
Pretty cool, though I would say that a breadboard is probably a worse UI for capturing circuits than whatever we had in 2003.

But it is fair that e.g. LTspice has a terrible GUI. I always thought QUCS had the best UI of all the free options:

Unfortunately it's not the most popular project.
> Personally I don’t think my mental “versatility” got too much exercise there, except maybe in rescuing production systems in emergencies.

Given the cost of every minute of downtime at FAANG scale, the ability to rescue a production system a few hours faster than your competition is worth embarrassing multiples of your wage premium against non-FAANG engineers.
Literally no difference is a wildly wrong and simplistic statement to make.
There are vast differences.
Yeah, I had my bike stolen when I was at university. It was my only form of transportation (other than legging it) too.

(I didn't even try the police. A lot of bikes got stolen there, and they were not going to spend their time on this sort of crime.)

It wasn't particularly great, just an off-brand mountain bike, but I loved it. I had a more intimate relationship with it than I've had with any car I've ever driven. There's just something about getting a bike set up exactly the way you like it, where it fits you and your style of riding just perfectly.
An interesting element to this is knowledge and ability to do work on ones own house. In the US it used to be required that men take shop class. It shifted into being offered for both boys and girls for many years. Then it was phased out by in large.

Those who took hands on classes like these could read the simple instructions with a traditional thermostat or even a Nest and easily install it. They were comfortable with a handful of low voltage wires, some screws, and a simple diagram.

I wonder how the lack of hands on practical teaching in schools has impacted folks comfort with handling these fairly simple tasks.
I saw a "trying out my parking assist" (I think it was with a Hyundai) video the other day where the guy didn't realize that the function only assists with steering and not the pedals. So he backed right into a car.
I created some 3D models of a real world building and surrounding environment using photogrammetry from 20+ megapixel DSLR photos and decided the accuracy was totally inadequate and the artefacts were too hard to manually clean up.

I then hired a dude with a LIDAR scanner and did it properly. The difference in quality/accuracy is like 120x80 ASF video files in 1996 compared to 4K footage today.

Anyone who thinks you can build "HD" virtual worlds using the crappy cameras on a Tesla needs their heads examining. Maybe with thousands of passes and some epic compute and signal processing, but why bother? Just LIDAR it.

My Tesla can't even decide if a traffic light is a single traffic light or not on a sunny summer's day from a distance of twenty feet. Almost every time it is either dark or humid or winter (road grime) it tells me one or more cameras are obscured. But only after I've already started driving, obviously. This supposedly cutting edge AI driving machine frequently thinks I'm leaving the carriageway on UK B-roads (it's almost dangerous) and is significantly less reliable at distance cruise control and lane-assist than my Skodă. (I presume VW just quietly bought a black box from Bosch or whoever to do this.)

Tesla are barking up the wrong tree IMO. At this point the camera-only stance feels like a religious thing, not based on sanity or the real practical world. I imagine that someone came to Elon and said "reconciling conflicting radar and camera signals is hard" and he applied his considerable genius and issued an edict to "let's not do that then!" like it would magically make all the actual hard problems go away.

Heck, Teslas can't even seem to reliably parallel park themselves, frequently getting stuck halfway, or hitting kerbs. If they can't solve that highly constrained problem, I'm hardly going to trust taking my eyes off it at 70mph.
Wait what is TMC? Is this like futures trading, but with less liquidity?

Literally two paragraphs down it says she has since retired from MI6.
At what point is it considered theft though? If I refuse to look at an ad when it plays is it theft? If I get distracted and not watch it for half the time it runs, is it half theft?
If I watch the whole thing and don't actually click through, is that theft?

There's no contract that I've signed that demands my full attention is on the ad. So, half my attention is ok? A quarter? How about none?

Is it enough that I know so and so company is behind the specific ad without me knowing what the ad is about but just realizing it's to sell me their product? Is that enough?

What IS the fair transaction in the case?
His most famous book, Time, Labor and Social Domination, is not the clearest writing to say the least, but really dumb basic idea is that the downside of work during capitalism are less "boss mean" than the rat race / treadmill of more hours, more deadlines etc.

Whatever you say about the Dwarf Fortress creators, one thing that is clear is that they hopped way the fuck off that treadmill. Money gave Notch a "rush" (pun very much intended!) but the Adam's brothers were clearly in no rush.

I think that means this success will not get to their heads. He who was never running won't trip.
