Of course it doesn't imply anything directly about the drug, but it does implicate the pharma industry in willingness to distribute drugs that have long term side effects.

> Every day is a new day, every event a potential surprise...

This is a thought terminating cliche, and has no bearing on pharmacology and societal impact.

These drugs are about to be very heavily prescribed, and widely introduced - when, in fact, they should be slowly rolled out to those who need them the most. People who should be given this drug are those whose weight is so severe that it has immediate effects on negative health outcomes.

There are going to be people who want to drop a couple of BMI points in time for Summer without eating and exercise, and any doctor (or person) who enables this use in the short term (the next 5 years, at least) is irresponsible.

In fact, your example of penicillin is a perfect example: who cares about any potential downsides to a drug when not using the drug has the downside of death?

It looks like HN's URL truncation is mangling the link in the post above. I think it's meant to go to https://is.gd/hneoxB (using a URL shortener to work around the bug), but when the full URL is posted, (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/endpointsecurity/e...), it gets truncated after the first letter of the last path segment.

EDIT: For some reason, when you put the URL in parentheses, it's correctly handled once again.

It would seem really odd to me if it was just one aspect of modern lifestyle and diet. I would be shocked if both proliferation of cheap highly processed and hyperpalatable food and declining activity rates/greatly increased in screen time didn't both play a major role.
Right but you need more parking and more capital investment, all to do stuff needed for month or two a year.

I'm not opposed to HSR, I'm opposed to the expense. We already have a solution with fast jets so I'm content to let people who travel between major cities pay for the inconvenience of an airport themselves. I'm sure they would prefer the coolness of HSR, but it costs too much. The 100 billion dollars projected is needed to build desalinization plants.
Learn GPT is brilliant. Thank you for this.
Well... another way of thinking about this is... if it costs 15,000 a year to treat, I wonder what percentage of those people could lose weight another way for less than $15,000 a year (e.g. free gym membership with classes, personal trainer, and $500 a month bonus if you show up twice a week)
Since plain celery has very few calories, I doubt it would help much. It seems to me that you're really fooling your body somehow when you're feeding it calories with no flavor.
I think the normal reasoning is that services that don’t use data in this fashion can’t compete with those that do. Hence users who don’t want to be tracked have no other options. Whether that bothers you is a personal question.

Edit: I think it’s comparable to something like warranties. Enforcing an automatic 1/2/etc. warranty on products makes certain business models untenable. Do we consider blanket warranties on end products more important or an individuals freedom to forego such a warranty more important? Different societies may reach different conclusions.
> Try to find any major research showing either diet has a significant health impact on either 1) non-overweight individuals who remain non-overweight; or 2) has a health impact after controlling for changes in weight/obesity/body fat. It's virtually non-existent.

It's common sense.

And also easily provable at the limit: whose healthier at the end of 10 years, subject A consuming 2k calories of salad and lean meat per day, or subject B consuming 2k calories of vodka per day?

At least we know they'll both weigh the same, because thermodynamics, right?

You can make it to L5/6 without being a good engineer. I interviewed several Uber/Amazon engineers and they couldn't solve a simple problem (very easy problem that most bootcamp grads could do).

A lot of them get there by being interviewed by other bad engineers, and just float when the market is strong, or use politics to get in a good position.

The solution, of course, is to never eat.

Here’s a thought that has been percolating in my mind for a bit since these “market adjustments” began a month or two back.

Somehow at some point, in what perhaps could be blamed on the ever-hated mass produced MBAs - companies got really comfortable with the “it’s not personal, it’s just good business” of letting go of their employees for a slightest reason, or sometimes for no reason at all - just to make it look to their investors like they got their shit together.

We are seeing a bit of a market downturn - but it hasn’t hit Amazon pocketbook now, has it? Are they in danger of running out of money? What happened to “people are our most important resource”?

And this brings me to my main point - I think years of this has had an unexpected side-effect the companies never signed up for: people started treating companies they way companies treating people and we are starting to see the results - quiet quitting, oft bemoaned lack of loyalty, job hopping, etc. Now I am not saying it’s all new, but at least in my observation it’s peaking now and my thesis is these things are connected.

Not really. The iPhone just barely shipped on time. It was a death march development up to FCS (first customer ship). Most of what were eventually released as public APIs didn't even exist in iOS 1.0. Hell most of the first party apps on the phone just barely ran. Web apps were the only practical way to get third party code running reliably on iOS 1.0.

Even after the 1.0 release Apple went back into death march development mode to polish up a usable SDK. Even that first SDK had a tiny surface area compared all the frameworks available on the OS. It wasn't until iOS 3 that the SDK felt fully functional and not polished until iOS 4.

Web apps were a stopgap. Early iOS was just barely above an advanced demo in terms of quality and functionality. A lot of frameworks didn't even have stable APIs to release for third party developers.

For longer posts it's hard to argue that any social media with a restricted number of characters per post is a good fit (all the arguments are other features that may be missing in blogs, not arguments against having a cohesive post that doesn't spread across multiple messages). OP suggested a blog post, but it could've been solved by creating support to larger posts as well. I don't think it's a bad debate to have, even if repeatedly, that's how things end up changing.
How else would you value a stock? It's fractional ownership in a company; bottom line matters. Also, many people who aren't "rich" own stocks.
Ask HN: Why is Ruby so poorly documented?
I need to pick up ruby for work, and headed to ruby-lang.org.

I've mostly worked with Python so far, and my best companions have been the Python tutorial (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html), the library reference (https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html) and the language reference (https://docs.python.org/3/reference/index.html).

I was very surprised to see that on ruby-lang.org there is practically no equivalent o the Python tutorial. The closest thing is the on-line version of the pickaxe book (https://ruby-doc.com/docs/ProgrammingRuby/) which is about Ruby 1.6, released in September 2000.

There are a myriad of other small or smaller resources (koans and stuff) but no just-sit-down-and-read-all-this document.

So the question is... Why is ruby so poorly documented? How is one supposed to learn ruby nowadays, properly ?

Just check that your hardware is supported before installing.

>Is FreeBSD more suited to daily consumer laptop use? I use Arch btw

It can be, it depends on what you use your laptop for. For example, if you game, maybe sticking with Arch is for the best. Bluetooth is supported on Free and NetBSD, but I haven't used it on those os's. EDIT: FreeBSD supports bluetooth, but support might be spotty/depend on how old/new the hardware is. On Free/Net, bluetooth also seems less straightforward ("user friendly) than on linux or commerical OS's like MacOS.

Since you're used to arch, installing, configuring, and maintaining FreeBSD shouldn't be too difficult. Try it in a VM for a while until you get used to using vs linux.
On the dev side of things, a huge advantage of using the native SDK is that you’re not stuck with the downsides of the web’s “bring your own everything” approach. You’ve get an expansive set of capable UI widgets and frameworks for everything imaginable that are battle-tested and opinionated with there being a well supported “happy path” for just about any task.

Additionally many of the APIs are mature and haven’t changed significantly in a while, which means the body of relevant reference material online is huge — it’s not necessarily outdated just because it’s a couple years old, predating [X buzzword feature] getting added to [Y trendy JS framework] and turning popular convention upside down for the fiftieth time.

Well, that’s how it on iOS at least. It’s more murky on Android because Android Framework is kind of a mess, but it still has some advantages over the web.

There are already systems for that in github enterprise. It works decently if you can massage your build to fit in their system. It is still more or less experimental for some languages.

Eat 1lb of celery, you'll still be hungry after that? I doubt you'll get through it. That's 100 calories. If your hungry and eating alot your not eating filling food and there are to many calories in it. Fats and sugar and calorie dense. You can eat way to much and feel like you didn't eat enough. If your eating 3k calories and still hungry I don't think you're really trying.

I didn't call you obese, that's not how I was using "you"
> Heck, if you believe that they've always had 5-10% 'unregretted attrition' targets, which I do, and apply it to the whole company, that's 50-100k employees per year!

This came up last time the Amazon layoffs were on HN, but: the URA target (which was 2-6% when I was there) is for people, not positions. That is, the intent is that departments are continually removing their worst performers, but replacing those people as soon as possible. This is an elimination of 17,000 positions who will not be backfilled.

Whether you agree with the URA target approach or not (I suspect most do not), 6% URA is fundamentally different from 6% layoffs.

Most likely books by Dario Bressanini (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dario_Bressanini).

He's a very kind person that calls himself "a friendly chemist in the neighbourhood" and likes to show how science (mostly chemistry) is present in everyday life.

Some of his books are:
- the science of cleaning

- the science of pastry

- the science of vegetables

- the science of meat

- bread and lies (about lies and prejudices about what we eat)

EDIT:

Also: "The world of bees and honey" (https://www.amazon.it/mondo-delle-api-del-miele/dp/888499556...) by Slowfood Editore. It's about (you guessed it) honey and bees. It's very interesting.

I was just saying the exact same thing to my wife yesterday. We’re both trying to lose weight, for the millionth time in the 20 years we’ve been together. Exasperated, I just said “I don’t get it. I was an artist who had no technical background, and was able to teach myself computer science and now I’m a highly successful engineer. I did that. And yet I can’t lose 10 pounds to save my life.”

It’s so hard to eat healthy, I honestly cannot fathom how people do it.

I feel exactly the way you do, and yes, I was fat, lost it in one go and never gained it back. I try to keep my BMI around 18, never went over 20 since losing weight. It's been around 15 years now. I still have the exact same unlimited appetite I have always had. If you put food I like in front of me, I'm going to eat it.

I don't do anything special. I eat the same foods I always have, just less of them. Got really good at counting and never get more food than I need. The trick is to not put yourself in a situation where you have to stop eating in the first place. It's hard to just stop eating something you want to eat. Not that hard to stop yourself from going to the store again or ordering more (especially when other people are around).

I feel like most people never get serious enough about counting, try to eat stuff they don't enjoy, waste effort on exercise or let other people interfere.

Amazon and all of these companies are laying people off based on future forecasts, not based on the current economy.
