I agree there are plenty of liberal churches. I'm merely saying that "go to church" isn't without caveats. You have to have some consideration about ensuring they go to a church that won't make their mental health worse, or that the advice you're giving doesn't come off as totally bone-headed (suggesting church to someone who was raped by a minister is obviously cruel, for example).

That's the sales pitch for multivitamins and the like; they talk you into a problem but they provide the solution.

Certain vitamins your body will dispose of safely (like vitamin C), but there's others that just build up until they kill you; there's the case of Xavier Mertz [0] who was theorized to have died from an excess of vitamin A after eating his sled dogs' livers.

But the basic rule is: just eat normally / "a balanced diet"; you likely don't need supplements unless you have absorption issues or stick to a specific diet (e.g. vegetarianism / veganism, soylent / diet shakes, or the same thing every day, like the 14 year old who only ate chips and ended up (partially) blind due to a vitamin deficiency [1])

I can believe that they're careless and used the wrong copy of a document but I'm not sure I understand why you're signing an agreement like that on exit: you've signed it on hiring so that regardless of the outcome of your employment, you're bound to the anti-poach. The only reason I can think that they'd ask you to sign the agreement again on exit is that they wanted to bind you into something new -- what explanation did they give?

I am 42 years old and try to focus on 2 areas: strength and aerobic performance

For strength: I basically just do the "The Bridge by Barbell Medicine" (https://liftvault.com/programs/strength/bridge-program-sprea...) around 3x a week (sometimes a 4th General Practice Day). I started like most with 5x5 Stronglift probably 8 years ago but switched to this program around 3 years ago. The nice thing is that it has some variation and doesn't take too long. It consists of the big compound lifts so I think it's great for general strength

For Cardio: I started to do to 4x Zone 2 training on an indoor bike (https://peterattiamd.com/category/exercise/aerobic-zone-2-tr...) recently because a lactate test showed that I have horrible aerobic peformance. I blame it on Covid but I guess it's because after stopping with football/soccer due to a knee injury I virtually did no aerobic exercise. The upside is that a great aerobic performance has tons of health benefits (blood preassure, cholestoral, etc).

I train always in the morning (start between 6:30 and 7:00) before work in fasted state (time restricted feeding between 12:00-20:00) for cardio and with a pre-workout shake (creatine) on the strenght days. I am not a huge morning person but I got used to getting up early and the great thing is that even if my day was super unproductive one thing was accomplished and it's also quite compatible with social life (in case I want to do something after work).

Physically I am probably now in a better shape than in my 30ies and I plan to contineu to do this as long as possible

Very true, however it's something musicians have to specifically train for, because to a trained ear they can become painfully obvious and it's tempting for the musician to (at least) cringe in a way that the audience will detect. Musicians in the audience, though, can often tell when you flub a note, regardless of how you play it off. That's really the bar we are looking to meet.

Writing*
The problem with this is there do seem to be quite legitimate physicists who disagree with the "sky is falling" conclusion that all popular discussion is premised on. I recently heard an interview with Dr. Richard Lindzen that, for instance, provides what sounds like a very reasonable counter to the prevailing attitude.

Anyone who says "the science is settled, the laws of physics cannot be violated" fails to realize what physics is even about. The vast majority of victories that physics has had since Isaac Newton are based on incredibly simplified models that strip out all of the complexity from a system. Basically everything interesting is treated as linear (as in f(x) ~ x) and a lot of the other stuff is just thrown into constants. After a few decades of working with that, both in theory and with experiments, you might get comfortable enough to add some small corrections to your theories. In this way you step closer and closer to "truth" but we are still very far off, even with our best physics, from fully understanding anything of even moderate complexity. This is not to say that we don't get incredibly useful results from physics (just look at our technology!), but it does mean that we need to constrain statements about how much we really understand and where our "laws" really are applicable. Take for instance the equation for kinetic energy, k=.5 * mv^2. Hugely useful, but dead wrong if you try to apply it to things moving at relativistic speeds.

The problem of climate science, from my perspective, is that we can't strip it down like we do for simple systems like a ball moving in space. Climate is inherently very complex; if you try to ignore how oceans interact with vegetation, how vegetation interacts with clouds, how clouds and rain are connected, etc, then your models can be interesting and might reveal something, but they can't be used to predict what will happen with any degree of confidence because they are too far removed from the real thing. And if you don't strip something out of the system when doing your modeling, well then good luck: you'll never understand anything at all because the thing is too complex to be used to calculate anything of interest.

I will acknowledge my precious comment was a tad antagonistic, sorry.

I'm just saying, if it's something you want, it fits your needs today, and you've got the budget for it, just buy it. Don't wait for the "what if the next generation is better?", Because of course the next generation will probably be better, if it comes out. But this fits your needs well enough today, and it's something you want, and there will always be something newer supplanting whatever you buy in the future as well.

So if you're thinking you'll wait for the 2 because it'll be better than the original, why get the 2? Won't the 3 be better? And of course, the 4 will be better than the 3, so maybe you shouldn't buy the 3 but instead wait for the 4. But what if there's a 5th generation...

Why would I buy the iPhone of today, won't the one next year be faster? And the one the year after that be faster than next year? Why would I buy the one this year when there will probably be a better one available eventually?

I just never got this line of reasoning. Could you share why you'd wait for the 2, but not the 3?

Cheers!
Erlang is implemented on top of BEAM which has its own scheduler and schedules its own idea of lightweight processes.
Except you're locked into a more confined ecosystem. It's smooth as long as you're on the happy path dictated by Microsoft.

At least Java is open, alternative implementations are present, and can be run on anywhere and everywhere.
Juno: New Origins
> For example, you can't recreate this in Go or Rust

If you're willing to make your "lightweight processes" OS threads you could kind of make it work. E.g. Rust gives you both panic hooks (to notify everyone else that you died) and catch_unwind to contain the effect of a panic (which generally stops at a thread boundary anyways). But of course that only scales to a couple hundred or thousand threads, so you probably have to sacrifice a lot of granularity.

And any library that links to C/C++ code has the potential to bring the whole process down (unless you make your "lightweight processes" just "OS processes", but that just makes the scaling problems worse)
They should crowdsource the training cost
Alpha Centaury had a solar shade which you could deploy and cool the planet (to pre-warming levels or even further). I often ask how that solar shade is coming along in the climate discussions, and get downvoted usually.

You have to admit that resolve to pay for a solar shade (or other discrete solution) is something you can sell to gamers. Otherwise, the main commodity being sold in the discussions of climate crisis is panic - you can see how it is clearly inferior.

That, and half-assed not-productized solutions like carbon capture, which don't even have a single chart where the good guys win decisively, regardless of amount of money spent.

Gamers are used to solving problems. Nobody comes up with solution to climate crisis.

Metaphor I learned from a biochemist:

You are in a boat with holes in it (holes in this metaphor are nutritional deficiencies).

To prevent the boat from sinking you patch the holes under waterline starting from the largest. The boat continues to sink until all holes under the waterline are patched. You don't stop sinking by patching one hole again and again. After you have patched all holes under the waterline you can prepare for storm (old age, sickness) and patch holes above the waterline. You should start from the lowest and go upward.

lessons:

1. Measure. Blood test can determine if you have deficiencies you need to fix.

2. Once you have fixed one deficiency, fixing it by taking more does not help.

3. Fancy nutrients (phytonutrients, Omega-3) have very tiny effect size if it exists at all. They would be at the bottom of any list (healthy diet, exercise, sleep, right weight). If you don't get enough sleep your immune system and cognition are compromised and supplements don't compensate.

ps. Body can synthesize omega-3 if there is enough α-linolenic acid (ALA) available.
Aging may impair body's ability to make omega−3 fatty acids from ALA. _IF_ this is the case, omega-3 supplements _may_ help.
I'm definitely no fitness expert, but this is what I do. I don't have a strict workout schedule, because I feel like that is demotivating for me.

- Under desk treadmill with standing desk - I spend a lot of time at the computer, so I have a standing desk and a treadmill that goes under it. I find that if I use it for about a half hour, 3 times a day, that gets me about 8,000-9,000 steps. Then I can get to the recommended 10,000 steps by the rest of the walking I do throughout the day.

- Adjustable Dumbbells and Bench - I own a pair of adjustable dumbbells that go up to 50 pounds in increments of 2.5 pounds. I use them to do strength training 1 to 3 times a week. This year, I had ChatGPT generate my upper body workout routine for me, and so far it's going really well. My goal is to do 100 strength training workouts this year.

- Ab routine, yoga and Maxiclimber - About once or twice a week, I try to do an ab routine, "Ab Ripper X" from the original P90X at 1.25 speed to get it over with faster. Yoga (from YogaDownload.com) to help with recovery from the strength training. Also, I picked up a Maxiclimber XL on the local classifieds for about $40.

- Other recreational fitness activities - I also try to make sure I participate in alternative fitness activities that are recreational and not just part of the workout grind. These include, biking, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, basketball, pickleball, hiking, frisbee, etc.

This was not my routine before I started working from home. Working from home has enabled this and I'm now probably in the best physical health I've ever been.

Sure, but you may not have solved the problem of how to get the heat out of your spaceship. Since your only option is radiative heat transfer (no convection/conduction…), you're stuck with really fat radiators. So you really don't want to waste power into heat.

As someone who worked with Erlang for a few of years I still wonder if using parallel processing in program top level is worth it or not. Because there are many ways to process data efficiently using queues, pipelines, etc and being clear on when it happens rather than a "wild west" of Erlang where you need to manage processes, links, restarts, and it's harder to focus on the business logic.
From Joe Armstrong's thesis (p. 6):

By storing your keepassxc file in a public repository you are providing an attacker access that is equivalent to a level of access for which the database is "not intended to be secure against".

This is why doing what you are doing is a very bad idea.
So now I have to lug around two of everything (laptop, phone etc) just because I might want to do something unrelated to work?

It is completely unreasonable as a blanket statement.
The entire narrative is that a gas which is just 400 parts per million - 4 10^4, or 0.04% - causes heating of 1 degree Celsius around ~300 degrees over absolute zero (so 0.3% increase in temperature) over a time frame of decades - so 0.03% increase per year - and the only evidence we have tying the conjectured cause of warming (CO2) to the actual climate are computer models, whose accuracy is extremely bad in the span of few months.

We're talking about predicting an effect which is 10^-5 orders of magnitude different from current configuration, with tools that were tested and failed within much shorter timeframes (~ months instead of years) and all of this is the only "evidence". The prediction abilities of these tools are only around the general trend, they failed predicting the magnitude correctly. So around 10^1 orders of magnitudes of accuracy.

All of this by computer models which have horrible code, all copying from each other, and are extended way beyond their empirical testing - while being fixed with fudge factors called "flux adjustments".

All of this in an extremely chaotic system. The kind of chaos which has no hope for even short duration prediction.

It's not science. It's a religion. There are no confidence intervals on this because if they had done a systematic analysis of the entire thing, they would have to admit that the chaotic behavior dominates their analysis by several orders of magnitude.

They do have plenty of data for what is actually going on - but the conjecture that it is CO2 causing it (as opposed to being just chaotic behavior, other factors, anything else really) has very little evidence. They abuse conjunction fallacy to convince everyone.

These are like sledgehammers when you need a screwdriver.

It's very hard to build Erlang-like versions of supervision trees using those tools.
Yea, just look at how much redundancy in satellites and space probes we need to operate within the range of Sun's heliosphere. Outer space outside it would be even more killer to current electronics. Even if we switch to silicon carbide (which could possibly still remain harder to manufacture process) stuff it still would be a factor to consider.
My understanding is that the attacker doesn't need to inject code, they can simply take screenshots or recordings programmatically and when that shows the password manager all passwords are exposed.
