Most of my readwise content is from twitter and I agree this isn't a great UX. I recommend connecting Readwise to your twitter account. Once done, you can bookmark single tweets or save threads by DMing a tweet to the Readwise account w/ the message 'T'.
Sure. Speech can, itself, restrict speech. "I have a gun in my pocket and I will shoot anyone who disagrees with me." It's just speech, but it restricts others' willingness to speak. If you allow all speech, some speakers will use that tool to restrict others' speech, which means not all speech is actually allowed. "Free speech" is a paradox.
Fear.

People who dismiss plausible theories about uncertain events are afraid of what it would mean if those theories were correct.

UFOs are very likely something other than aliens. But ridiculing people who say 'maybe aliens' is a defensive mechanism for those who really, really don't want to entertain the idea that maybe aliens are in fact paying us a visit.

If I said UFOs were actually Santa Clause I wouldn't be ridiculed. Because that's silly, not scary.

Ditto the big scary government stuff. I'll pick one at random that I heard:

"Covid vaccines and the aggressive / mandatory campaign was cover for mass sterilization because the planet is overpopulated with humans"

Dismissing that is a lot easier than thinking about what happens if a government decides to sterilize you against your will. Or that a government would arbitrarily deny any freedom.

Of course when we say government we mean us. Are we really capable of these things? Well, historically, obviously we're capable of some seriously heinous shit.

But we are not capable of that. Says the coward.
> This can easily veer off in another direction, but I astounds me how many people shun the database and chose to reimplement innate features in procedural code outside of the database.

I've done this from time to time, and it's usually a question of the database clients are much easier to scale than the database. What can the clients do to reduce database i/o and cpu, because I can add more clients easily, but turning a database into a cluster is relatively more difficult, so database machines have to scale up instead.

Otoh, the limits of machine scaling are quite high these days. You can get a single socket epyc with 64 cores and 3TB of ram and tons of lanes of nvme.
I'm over "food X will lower your cholesterol" headlines.

if you have a cholesterol problem, your options are:

1. cut saturated fats in the diet by at least 80%

2. take statins

I do maybe 30% of option 1 and 80% of option 2 (low dose). As I get older, the effectiveness of the statins appears to decrease so I'd like to raise my dose but my doc is not on board yet.

LDL cholesterol is no joke so I dont get the point of these "X might reduce your cholesterol a tiny amount if you have an amazing diet already", well great

Brave's crypto can be disabled and the browser is world-class.

US Senator outlines the allegedly misuse of US government funds and where the contracted academic obtained their funds for the actual purchase of DNS tracking dataset from,

in which to (allegedly?) enable US government performing these acts of circumventing the various intra-US surveillance laws that are in place to protect US person (citizens, US-based corporations, naturalized citizens), or something to that gist of it.

Probably a focus on whether academic is violating contracts and depending on that, whether a federal agency is lacking oversight mechanism of these alleged transgression(s), or both.

Should be interesting to shine a light on this allegedly roundabout ways, given that DoT and DoH are the "rage".

I don't believe Journalism is elitist. Yes, there are standards to maintain. But by definition that's what Journalism is. Proven and established rules.

It's great that the internet allows for access. It's a tool for all. It's not great that anyone who strings two words together and "prints" them (on the internet) is now considered deserving of the title: Journalist. There's more to it. Just like giving me a scalpel and a pad for scripts doesn't make me a surgeon.

What I believe happen is that as the internet disrupted tradional media, Journalism panicked. It needed revenue. It need to cut costs. So it cut corners. The Standards were abandoned. They were too costly and couldn't produce sufficient results for a biz model based on clicks, views, etc. As a CYA they shamelessly continued to call it Journalism even if it was a lie. Fake Journalism if you will.

Since they were all doing it, since they were all fearing for their jobs few stepped up and said, "No, this is not Journalism."

And here we are, gasping for the air of Truth.
This is exactly why I stopped using Linux as my personal computer many, many years ago. I could do it, yes, but just got tired of spending hours fixing random weirdness. I have work to do! Love, love love it on servers, and have many. But I use macOS on my Mac and everything runs smoothly for me…

One of the main benefits we hear from people using dbt Cloud is the IDE + scheduler. The price increase can make that main benefit a bit less palatable, especially when you can develop locally and orchestrators allow you to run more than just dbt itself.

If you're looking for a way to quickly automate dbt Core, our team at Shipyard (low-code, cloud-hosted orchestration) recently built out some guides to start running dbt Core in the Cloud for all of the major databases. Plus, you gain the ability to connect to other tools in your data stack, run Python scripts alongside dbt, and still not worry about infra.

This is misleading. Some vaccines do use two fetal cell lines in their development or testing. NOT in their "manufacturing". These cell lines were derived from two elective abortions in the 1960s and 1970s. The same cell lines have been used now for over 50 years for various other medical purposes.

Saying "fetal tissue" and "manufacturing" paints rather a different picture.

Also, to be more specific, when we speak of covid vaccines, we're largely talking about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Those specific vaccines did NOT use fetal cell lines in their manufacturing. So now you've gone from being misleading to being flat out wrong.

I understand the pseudo-religious arguments quite well, actually. To that point:

"The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were found to be ethically uncontroversial by the pro-life policy organization the Charlotte Lozier Institute. Further, the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, a committee within the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, has stated: "neither Pfizer nor Moderna used an abortion-derived cell line in the development or production of the vaccine. However, such a cell line was used to test the efficacy of both vaccines. Thus, while neither vaccine is completely free from any use of abortion-derived cell lines, in these two cases the use is very remote from the initial evil of the abortion...one may receive any of the clinically recommended vaccines in good conscience with the assurance that reception of such vaccines does not involve immoral cooperation in abortion."

> I don't think that the programming language inside Sybase/Microsoft SQL Server, known as Transact-SQL, has been implemented in postgres

You are wrong; from the Babelfish page: “With Babelfish, Aurora PostgreSQL now understands T-SQL, Microsoft SQL Server's proprietary SQL dialect, and supports the same communications protocol, so your apps that were originally written for SQL Server can now work with Aurora with fewer code changes.”
I've pretty sure that's about as fundamental as it gets. Help tribe = feel good; tribe values your contributions = feel good; your talents and interests genuinely help the tribe = feel very good.

I don't mean this in a "people love work, actually", hooray-capitalism sense (LOL, god no), but the sense that humans tend to be happier and more content when they're helpful to those around them. It used to be a lot easier to provide that kind of value through creative and self-expressive efforts, than it is now. Any true need for artists and creative work (and, for the most part, craftspeople) at the scale of friend & family circles or towns or whatever, is all but completely gone.

Keto is a very special case where the body depletes its glucose storages so it switches to fat by force. It does work, but you have to stay out of any kind of carbohydrate for the rest of your life (or for whatever amount do you plan to stay in that state).

In non ketogenic states, input does somewhat equals output.

Nutrition experts still try to create a caloric deficit when they create nutrition plans.

If there was some sort of magic nutrient that made you lose weight by eating mostly the same food, I'm sure most nutrition experts would have known already.

Who is they? Not every one who is against current Twitter and Elon are hypocritical. Leftists in particular were against Twitter’s non transparency and in general are non-hypocritically against big tech.

The right in general on the other hand. They are on the side of business and capital but when big tech happens to ban and annoy both the left and right, the right whines about how bad big tech is and how it needs to be reigned in. Not all business of course, only which businesses they are against and consider “woke”.

This. I get a great experience without even using LSP which itself can be finicky.

1. ripgrep. Regex searches are the universal "do-everything" tool. If you really master them and integrate them into your workflow you will not want for much else. They can even supplant the need for auto completion to a certain degree. When you pop open the definition you searched for in a new window that's analogous to a completion popup. Then just M-/ for dumb completion to assist with the manual typing.

2. ctags. Old school. But it works. They can work across weird file types with languages embedded in them, etc. citre-mode has some nice "candy" features built on ctags like a "peek" overlay popup.

3. snippets. Create a set of hand crafted snipppets for each language you use. Code flows out of your fingers at the speed of thought. Yasnippet does what I need and allows embedding of lisp code into the snippet for some really really advanced expansions. Although simple expansions are all that's needed 99% of the time.

4. debugging. Take time to master a debugger like GDB. Or add debug(msg) statements through your code. Many languages will have a mechanism for the debug statements to be compiled out of a production build.

5. profit. Your laptop will never sound like an airplane take off the runway. The M1 may never be noisy but it will still reap the increased battery time.

UV stability is only one aspect. What happens when you build a greenhouse out of these and the temps reach high enough to deform these? How long do you think the structure will stay stable with or without UV paint?

I've had a greenhouse melt nursery pots left in it and they're made out of polypropylene, which has a glass temp 50C higher than ABS.
First you need to burn the food product for a while to make sure that most of what is left is heavy metals in the ashes. (you typically need a flask for that, and an apparatus to get all the fumes from the burning process safely out).

then from the ashes you need to dissolve them in water (easier said that done), and use reagents based on the type of metal you want to detect from the sample (titration). If you measure accurately the volume of water used to dissolve and the amount of ashes coming from the food product, you can determine a concentration for a specific heavy metal.

Sigma-Aldritch probably sells the reagents you need for heavy metal testing.
Indeed; while VSCode is held up as the "best ever IDE for everything, period", what those people gloss over is that they are web devs, not C++ hackers who need to be able to easily build projects (and have good, reliable syntax highlighting and autocompletion). In the rare occasion that I use VSCode for C++ development, I just use cmake from the built-in terminal because I really don't think VSCode is designed to build C++ projects.
Link to actual study: https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/advance-article/do...

Some things I noticed: This is a meta-analysis, not a direct study by the authors. This is looking for an effect in other people's data.

There are 18 studies with a total of 1105 individuals. This is very very low for a meta-analysis.

They identified 81 studies that they 'wanted' to use, but they had to exclude all but 18.

They have a nice chart: https://academic.oup.com/view-large/figure/381075699/nuac086...

Look at the rightmost 2 columns. The only 'good' outcome with a large effect has low certainty. (Bottom Row, NAFLD)

The only outcome with at least moderate effect and certainty has a bad outcome (Inflammation markers)

In summary, the press release is truly garbage.

The study is not bad, it shows the state of knowledge and research in this area, which shows that honey is food, not magic.
lol yeah all those self driving cars out there. coming next year right?
I had this issue after I built my first new machine in nearly 8 years.

I forget what I googled, but I essentially found a forum post almost immediately that explained the reason for the ibp=off, something to do with an intel security issue, caching, and the actual likelyhood of it being a security risk on a personal machine. The conclusion was basically "its enabled by default because its a good idea, but not really needed for most use-cases". Away I went disabling it, somewhat understanding why it was there.

But I've also been an arch user for years, and one thing I'm accustomed to is when the bleeding edge breaks something, other bleeding edge users are already discussing it. The overall community documentation on issues is exhaustive. If you have an obscure issue in Windows and search the error, you get windows support forums with official support asking you to click the "try to fix it pwease" button and no other solution. Half the time the only fix is a reinstall.

I ended up building a new computer because my old machine's windows install got itself in a state where it would fail to login after an update, yet constantly tried to apply that update after I'd revert it. No solutions anywhere online, no way to stop windows from trying to apply the ill-fated update. Just a broken install. I figured if I was going to spend hours re-installing and reconfiguring windows, I might as well get new hardware.

If you think this disproves my point, it doesn't. They say there is no minimum dose level for damage, even though the "damage" at common doses may sound acceptable.

The biggest problem people forget is time: If people stay in contact with contaminated material, especially if they ingest some, then it really doesn't matter that much how low the radiation is. That's why radioactive material is treated the way it is. As long as you have dosimeters and geiger counters and hazmat suits you have a calculateable risk. With even some of those assumptions broken, there is no calculation.

Twitter and Elon don’t care about “person trackers”. Elon cares about personally not being tracked. You think if someone launches a Chuck Schumer tracker that Elon is going to care about Twitter banning it? He will probably want it to stay up to troll the moderates while pretending they are on the left.

> before they were talking about how twitter can do what they want as a private company.

Who are this group of “Elon haters” who are being so inconsistent? Sure a lot of Democrats are in the hands of capital and are complete moderates. Same with many Republicans. Most people are on the side of capital the majority of the time. To blanket group everyone who is against current Twitter as Elon haters in one block is weird. Do you think leftists who despise Elon were sitting around saying they want Twitter to do whatever they want? Even progressives have been consistently against big business power. Twitter is a big business.
I already did, and I know I can. My questions are more about if it's too late? Is it worth it? Should I go for it? And so on. For now, comments are reassuring so I'm leaning towards doing it. Thanks.

To say LDL cholesterol is misunderstood is an understatement. I recommend this as a primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXKJaQeteE0

tl;dw: there are many types of LDL which are not adequately represented in blood tests, unless subject to expensive centrifuges. LDL is how the body delivers fatty acids to be used as energy to the rest of the body, but in contact with high levels of sugar, becomes glycated, vulnerable to oxidation and stays in the bloodstream instead of being used or reabsorbed by the liver. Then it accumulates in the walls lining your arteries.

So the take away is: do not eat tons of fat with tons of sugar if you care about your arteries. One or the other are not necessarily bad.

Also statins are terrible with worse side effects. Fix your diet, not the estimated amount of cholesterol in your blood tests.
