> insulting to the scientist

Sounds very hermetic as a rejoinder. This way the cigarette industry could promote healthy smoking, because you know, scientists.

But you are right, lets have a closer look:

"Ian Givens is recipient of research grants from UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), UK Medical Research Council (MRC), Arla Foods UK, AAK-UK (both in kind), The Barham Benevolent Foundation, Volac UK, DSM Switzerland and Global Dairy Platform. He is a consultant for The Bio-competence Centre of Healthy Dairy Products, Tartu, Estonia, and in the recent past for The Dairy Council (London). Arne Astrup is recipient of research grants from Arla Foods, DK; Danish Dairy Research Foundation; Global Dairy Platform; Danish Agriculture & Food Council; GEIE European Milk Forum, France. He is member of advisory boards for Dutch Beer Knowledge Institute, NL; IKEA, SV; Lucozade Ribena Suntory Ltd, UK; McCain Foods Limited, USA; McDonald's, USA; Weight Watchers, USA. He is a consultant for Nestlé Research Center, Switzerland; Nongfu Spring Water, China. Astrup receives honoraria as Associate Editor of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and for membership of the Editorial Boards of Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism and Annual Review of Nutrition. He is recipient of travel expenses and/or modest honoraria (<$2,000) for lectures given at meetings supported by corporate sponsors. He received financial support from dairy organisations for attendance at the Eurofed Lipids Congress (2014) in France and the meeting of The Federation of European Nutrition Societies (2015) in Germany."

So basically they covered Givens and Astrup.

The very fact that scientific research has its ethics and is bound to be open to conflicts of interest should make everyone skeptical of the outcome:

LFSR algorithms are super interesting. Fabien Sanglard documents how it was used in Wolfenstein 3D's 'Fizzle effect' [1]. This is also covered in his book on the development of that game [2].

A detailed write up that goes into a bit of mathematics with code examples is 'Demystifying the LFSR' [3].

The 'Computerphile' Youtube channel did a whole episode on LFSR last year which is very accessible, highly recommended [4].

I've read all of those except for On the Beach. I probably wouldn't reread Grapes of Wrath but not because of any dislike--in fact the opposite for both book and film. I'd reread any of the others though I would probably be more inclined to rewatch the 1937 Lost Horizon film. It's a marvelous story but there's nothing particularly exceptional about Hilton's prose as I recall from reading a few of his books decades ago.
I did the exact same thing. Chased my passion through 30, burnt out, sold out, and am now burnt out on the other side 10 years later. Might sell all my shit and become a carpenter or a framer.
>I didn't seek any other jobs while trial working for them.

Here is the problem! Always have backup job or gig to fall back on.

Your “most cultures” claim ignores most of eastern Europe where it’s perfectly traditional to drink milk straight from under a cow.

Urban population doesn’t do it anymore, same way how most people no longer use an outhouse or bring their water from the well, but visiting traditional rural villages in my childhood I was offered milk straight from a bucket from a freshly milked cow that just returned from a pasture. They also made cheese, butter, cream, fermented kefir, etc, for the same reasons Irish have a million potato dishes.

What I described is true for Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, but I strongly suspect is widespread everywhere where people own cows in their household.

It’s just odd to see a claim that “most cultures mainly drink fermented milk” declared with such certainty.
Of course, when you become a dictator, you can do that. When will that happen?
I was a student in a CSU (California state university) and a professor nominated me for a award from industry which was valued at $1000. To pass me the check, the university took 20% of the award!
> Once again 'paid the (nuclear) price', is 1 death. One.

The economic cost, however, is huge.

Why is this a cynical take? What's so bad about that about Japan wanting to secure their energy supply?
Bail is virtually always a bond, guaranteed by a bail-bonds agency. The bailee typically puts up 10% of the value of the bail, so here, $25 million.
I specifically said that I support taking it from administrative salaries.

They absolutely do. Looking at November, https://www.rte-france.com/en/eco2mix/cross-border-electrici... will show you that Nov 19th was peak import with about 8GW net import at peak. On that day the French NPPs were on average producing 30GW of electricity out of a 55GW peak demand.

When looking at electricity imports/exports it's also important to remember that France is a pretty big interconnect between the UK, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and Germany. A bunch of electricity might be imported in France just to resell it to Italy, which is notoriously lacking in electricity production.
> If it wasn't profitable on average it would be sold asap.

To who? If it can't be profitable, why would anyone else want to buy it? Maybe you'll get lucky and find another sucker, but then you're just pushing the same problem onto the next guy.

Outside of that, about all you can do is disappear as if you never existed and let the fate of the property land where it may. But as humans tend to be strongly loss averse, more likely you'll keep plugging along in hopes that one day things will turn around.
Hint: peaker plants do not burn coal.

Hydro is moot. There is noplace left to build hydro generation (storage is completely different), so there is no reason to mention it, except to note that an existing reservoir is an excellent place to float a solar farm.

they took a bus full of Democrats from Seattle to one of the most republican cities in Oregon to talk and learn about their opinions

Do Republicans ever take a bus to Seattle to learn about Democrats' concerns?
I think the tech is fine, but obsolete at this point. It's just won't work economically or politically.

Economically speaking it's too expensive to build. It doesn't compete well with renewables and is a very long term plan, which is bad news if you're on shaky ground to start with. It may never pay off if you build it today. So nobody is rushing to build them on their own. Now maybe with government help, but...

Politically, it takes way too long to build. So even if you expend the political effort on making it happen, you likely won't be around to reap the benefits, which makes it a bad political project. It also tends to be late, and more expensive than planned.
Any reason why we don’t have a visual tool that builds an AST?

I know that there have been a lot of insultingly bad visual tools. And I totally get why we often use text. And most of us are comfortable in our own IDE or what not setups.

But if you honestly take a step back, we’re trying to mimic a more graphical approach in text- curly braces, syntax highlighting, identation, etc.

I think the world is missing out on entire categories of folks who could be programming while we debate curly braces vs indentation and whether semi-colons are a good thing or not.

In the near future, will they look back and laugh?
I view the Triplebytes of the world as negative signal on companies. They aren't willing to spend time coding with candidates? The core thing I'm being hired to do? If they don't have the time due to number of candidates (common reason), _they have a screening/sourcing problem_ not a _technical exercise problem_.

For me, watching how someone solves a problem is just as important as the actual solution if I'm going to be working with them on a daily basis.
I switched to KeePassXC and syncthing and other than a little bump once when I accidentally caused a merge I've been really pleased with the setup.
Yes, there are, but isn't it sad that when people forgo dairy for purported health reasons, most of the time they switch to the standard alternatives that are heaps of cane sugar (Silk soy/almond) and/or vegetable oil (Oatly / oat milk)?
These companies did not freeze hiring. They took on OP with a trial work period. We are not talking about a take home project during the interview stage. This only happens when a company in unsure about a candidate and wants to give them a chance. It's clear what has actually happened here and everyone telling the OP it's just the economy is not doing them any favors in the long run.
Not expensive? When the reference cost of not hobbled or otherwise limited development environments for almost every other commercial language out there is $0.00, that the hobbyist entry point for LispWorks is $500 is … more than slightly out of whack. And that LispWorks price is just for the development environment, not for access to a curated store and delivery service or anything else.

Just as well sbcl (Steel Bank Common Lisp) etc exist.
This is usually the wrong approach. Make sure you don’t do computations that block the UI, avoid accidentally quadratic behavior, and make sure you process UI events promptly. You can do this is pretty much any language, with minor caveats:

Some languages (e.g. Haskell) make it easy to write code that does more computation than intended. If you use one of these languages, make sure you know what you’re doing.

If you use a language with a truly horrible GC, you might experience excessively long pauses. Similarly, if you produce too much garbage, you might have issues.

If you use a language that can’t multithread properly (sigh, Python), moving tasks off thread is a mess.

Otherwise, one can write perfectly responsive software in just about any language.
M means milli in Latin, as in thousand (kilo comes from Greek). Millennium, millipede (thousand legs), and so on. Million just means a thousand thousands. That is why in most financial institutions, M means thousand, and MM means millions, literally thousand thousands.
This would be an interesting protocol. Almost like spread spectrum or frequency hopping in the radio space.

Have many servers who just accumulate encrypted packets and then only the host knows how to reassemble them in order and decrypt.

Could probably be somewhat realtime if executed correctly.
One advantage of it being hardware specific is that I can move my keyboard between machines and not have to worry whether my shortcuts are available. Also, I believe tools can only register themselves so early in the input processing stack in the OS which can prevent you from having your macros/shortcuts available in certain applications. An example of this is for RDP in windows, where if you use fullscreen RDP, it will use the remote instance's keyboard shortcuts instead of triggering the hooks you have on the host. Having the shortcut in firmware makes your shortcuts resolve before even leaving the keyboard.

Of course, there are downsides to having it all in hardware as well.
> A good use of an ORM looks like a metaprogramming environment for conveniently building syntax trees that get converted into intelligent SQL. You know it's working well if the SQL looks somewhat like you'd write yourself and you can build one SQL statement with multiple layers that are abstracted from each other (in C#, think about passing IQueryables around). The structures are parsed into SQL and executed very explicitly only at the end of the chain, do a lot of work, and never produce SELECT N+1s. A good ORM user is thinking in SQL but writing in C# (or whatever your business layer is in).

Sounds very similar to how Django (python) wants you to pass around QuerySets. It's very easy to set up an initial query with joins/etc, then pass the QuerySet into multiple functions to filter it in multiple different ways (each filter creates a new instance, so you're forking the original set and don't have to specify the joins multiple times), but the query itself is never actually run until you try to read from it.
The studies aren't doing the same thing. Yours looks at only the effects on obesity, cardiovascular, and metabolic disease. The OP's study purports to look at all health effects.
there's a really good scene in the movie https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/12162-the-hurt-locker about this.
Is there anything that could take meat's place? Presumably we wouldn't want to just eat a lot more carbs and instead eat something that's got a similar amount of protein (the thing that seems to make meat nutritionally unique). Legumes of all kinds seem to give me and a lot of other folks digestive issues.
> Yeah, it's not like JSON parsers have never had bugs, but on average they'll be MUCH better than everyone and their mother hand rolling a C based bespoke parser.

Currently, but if this idea started when Linux was become popular the real data format would have been XML. It might have been nice at the time, but today we would have laughed at it and said how outdated and silly it looks probably.

For that matter, browser + ip fingerprinting can be server-tracked anyway, if less reliably overall. Especially with JS enabled. There are lots of tricks that can be used for this.

Aside, wonder how good/bad ip+agent fingerprinting could be combined with a url that feeds a small randomly generated string with a VERY long cache expiration, with server/proxy no-cache headers (e-tag per agent/ip). Effectively similar to a cookie, without technically being a cookie.
I was thinking more along the lines of "this company just went on sale"
Don't be ridiculous. We need tractor beams.
I did my graduate work in Europe, and I think it is crazy how a bunch of unqualified/ semi-qualified students without their doctorates are teaching in US universities. We had exactly 0 doctoral candidates teaching classes, whereas it is widespread to have masters candidates teaching in US universities - many of which are not cheap at all. They should be students and researchers first and foremost, until they can complete their learning.
Yep. Anybody hating on Combat never played Combat the way it was meant to be played. I treated it as the game you just put to the side as a kid because we were too busy playing Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Breakout, Chopper Command, Galaga, Galaxian, Defender, Adventure, Vangard, etc. But once you've played Empire Strikes Back ten dozen times and the fun of shooting glowing pixels on the backs of AT-ATs wears off... Combat was still there and took almost zero explanation for how to play.
I know about the function attributes. But those are extensions, not part of the language, and hence unreliable. The core language needs to be fixed.

Think of all the stupid problems arising in C from `long` not having a defined size. I can't believe all the time I've lost dealing with that. In D, a `long` is 64 bits. Period. Problems just vanish into the ether.

I found the opposite in a very real-world analysis of my hobby project to build a digital dashboard for my DeLorean. I spent 5 years making very slow progress with C++, and then switched to perl, started mostly from scratch, and finished in a year. I gave a talk about this exact topic at YAPC 2014: https://youtu.be/SERH3_gZOTo?t=1018 The CPU usage on the embedded PC went from 15% to 40%, but in the grand scheme I'd rather have it finished and pay a little more for the hardware.
I see nothing in this article about housing, which is a huge problem (particularly in the Bay Area and SoCal). So these graduate students will be expected to find housing around, say Berkely, on $34,000 a year.

Consider [1]:

> Pay and housing demands by University of California academic workers — who launched a massive strike across the system this week — could amount to several hundred million dollars annually, an “overwhelming” financial impact, a UC senior leader says.

The UC system has a lot of money [2]. Current assets stand at $140 billion. Most of that is the pension fund ($81 billion). Note that the UC system employs a ton of people because it runs a significant health and hospital system. But here's the endowment:

> The General Endowment Pool stood at $18.2 billion as of June 30, 2022. The 30-year annualized net return was 9%, the 20-year return was 7.9%, the 10-year return was 9.1%, the five-year return was 8.9%, and the one-year net return was negative 7.6% (1.4% over the benchmark).

So the univeristy is making >$1B a year in returns on money that it was simply given.

So why can't the UC system do what the NYU system does and supply grad students with housing? NYU owns billions in Greenwich Village real estate that is deciated to student and staff housing. This would have the benefit of controlling housing costs (for the students) and still keep assets on their balance sheet.

As soon as you need encryption in at least one place in your software, it's going to happen.
Are people 'interpretable'?

If you ask an art expert 'how much will this painting sell for at auction', he might reply '$450k'. And when questioned, he'll probably have a long answer about the brush strokes being more detailed than this other painting by the same artist, but it being worth less due to surface damage...

If our 'black box' ML models could give a similar long answer when asked 'why', would that solve the need? Because ChatGPT is getting close to being able to do just that...
This is excellent to know! Thank you.
Edit, removed my previous message as it sounded quite negative, wasn't well thought out and was also partially off-topic. Product looks nice and simple, good job!
You can always find something to do. Read, travel, cook, socialize, build things etc. none of this has to be monetized so even if everything in the world is automated, the fun is in the process.

Command line flags are miserably at representing anything beyond key=value. A config file will easily handle a hierarchical tree 5 levels deep.
You might want to find a platform for discovering mentors, something like MentorCruise.

You can find and discover mentors, and vet them via their profile or their LinkedIn (if linked). Normally you get a free session as well to get to know them.

I've mentored on there quite a bit and I think its a great platform.

I join for a month or two at a time solely based on access to seasonal sports -- I don't watch anything else on broadcast (or really any streaming service either, except youtube itself) but I will pay 60 bucks for NBA finals or the MLB world series or if my football team is going to get a few be on the local affiliates during sunday football games. I'll probably pony up for the NFL package so they are all but assuring I'm locked in for 120 bucks a month for half a year or whatever it ends up costing. I'll still cancel immediately after the super bowl though.

Amen.
As they say: "Good artists borrow, great artists steal."
Yes, this is an FCM replacement on Android (and it can easily fall back to FCM if the user doesn't have UnifiedPush). There is no native UnifiedPush on iOS because Apple doesn't allow background services. The server side to support both is simple, but on the client you would need code for both FCM (for iOS) and UP (for Android). It would be interesting to build an FCM wrapper for iOS into the UP Flutter library.
Wait, I'm not sure, is this a Breaking Bad reference or something else ?
There are a few ways to look at why schools value diversity. As the other child comment points out, Lebron clearly is more privileged than most white people, but that doesn't mean he hasn't experienced things that no white person has. Certainly some of the diversity push is about giving disadvantaged students an equalizing advantage, but a large part of the push is because schools legitimately believe having different perspectives is advantageous. And make no mistake, black people do have very different experiences, and therefore perspectives, than white people in this country. Not just because they're discriminated against either, they have a unique cultural perspective/identity that may be valuable for other students to interact with.

I do think it's unfortunate that cultural groups have largely coalesced around race in this country, but that's the reality, and it won't change if the groups don't interact with each other.
I haven't seen any complaints, but folks who set this up are usually used to having persistent notifications (I currently have 6) without Google services.

At least I replaced the one from my Matrix client with the UnifiedPush-enabled ntfy. Hopefully it'll replace Signal too at some point. KDE Connect? Why not. K-9 mail? I hope, but that would require JMAP or IMAP adjustments.

One option would be to install the distributor as a system app.
Do you have any particular YT Videos you would recommend for beginners?
"Not just a function" does not mean that it is "not a function."

But I agree with your original point. "format" is not the most descriptive name for something that "formats and maybe prints."

For me, it's no replaceable batteries. Anything with an internal battery has a finite span of usefulness. There's no real excuse for making batteries inaccessible, other than forcing people to rebuy.

A great example is Tile, little tracking tags for your keys. I bought one, and in a year the battery died, just in time to get an email from the company offering a 10% discount on a new one.
Regardless, it’s often the only option.
