Ehh you can't draw that conclusion. North and South Koreans have a 7 height difference of 6 inches. What's more likely happening here is that the Milanese diet has no changed since the Roman Era. Or has to changed very little in meaningful ways, i.e. more nutritious meals.
> what's the point of asserting that add(2,2) will yield 4 if you've already been thinking about that

You are probably thinking about unit tests here, and yes, if it exercise a single point that you placed there by design, that test can only guarantee that somebody won't mess with it on the future.

On the other hand, I'm writing an interpreter in a side project, and the single most useful test there is literally and assert that eval("1 1 +") equals eval("2"). That is because it's not a unit test, and it touches a lot of different points. But for an outside observer, it looks exactly the same as a useless unit test.

The US produces about 2000 tons of spent nuclear fuel per year, which is to say about 20 tons per nuclear power plant. Spent nuclear fuel is almost entirely Uranium-238, which has a density of about 20 g/cm3. So about one cubic meter of spent fuel per year.

Right now we can't do much with the U-238. But one day we'll develop fast reactors where U-238 will be just regular nuclear fuel. At that point, we could mine new Uranium from the ground or use what we currently call "waste".

Burying the spent fuel does not make the environment of our children cleaner, it makes it dirtier.

When I was in my early 20s, I weighed under 60kg (which put me at a BMI of 19ish). I was tired all the time. I went through the usual gauntlet of tests, including a sleep study. The doctors couldn't find any explanation, and after months of this I sort of got used to it.

The months turned into years, and in my mid 30s, my upstairs neighbour complained about my loud snoring. Back to tests, another sleep study. Diagnosis: sleep apnea. They then asked me why I never got treatment in the first place, because apparently that first sleep study indicated sleep apnea ... but because the AHI was on the lower end, and because I was young and skinny, the doctor didn't think it was relevant for me to know.

Sigh.

> Being an effective engineer (software/data/ML) ultimately requires strong people skills.

This is something I wish people had emphasized to me earlier in my career. It doesn't come to me naturally, but it's essential, and I wish I had started building these skills sooner.

Writing code (or analyzing data) is what sets your job apart from other jobs, but it's not where you provide the most value. You provide the most value at the intersection between your specialty and what the rest of the business is doing, and in order to provide value at that intersection you have to be able to understand what people need, adapt your work to those needs, and then influence them to adopt your (now actually helpful) work.

If you can't do that then your work is all happening in an ivory tower.

You don't have to rewrite everything from scratch, you can already use C++ or other languages, only the front end of software must be rewritten. And it's also possible to use other ways, like a graphics renderer or wrapper.

> Why not?

As I said, much less energy thus less processor cycles, much less L2 cache memory, no x86. The main reason it's entirely different is to force developers to make an app that doesn't drain battery, which is why it's very much different: it can do a single thing at a time, the software must be pause-able at any time, it can only run when the OS is okay with it, it can only animate in certain way, only use a very small subset of opengl capabilities, etc

The ways smartphones' OS work is a fundamental part of how it can save battery. It is painful for developers so that in the end, batteries last longer. Desktop software is millions years away from being energy-efficient, most of desktop or server software is generally ruled by the law of Wirth: "software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware is becoming faster."

Of course it's a big constraint of how developers can make their software work, but they don't need to rewrite "everything", they just have to adapt.
I'm no expert so don't take too much stock in this suggestion, but I figured I'd speak up on the off chance it helps you.

I experienced similar symptoms with eating anything causing extreme day long fatigue. This was a problem for me for over a several month period. It started as diarrhea when eating my typical diet of seemingly healthy foods. Then it progressed to eating very little and getting exhaustion from eating even when diarrhea wasn't triggered. I reasoned that I probably had IBS, and worked on figuring out what foods trigger it. For me I found it was the following: milk products, high fat products, animal fat, any meat except low fat chicken and fish, high fiber vegetables, high fiber grains, high FODMAP food such as fruits. Eventually I settled on a diet that cuts out all of my IBS triggers and I feel much better.

Another major trigger is meal frequency and size. If I eat too much at one time I suffer from IBS and exhaustion. I suspect that this may also be a factor for you. So I suggest eating small meals many times throughout the day. This helped me tremendously as well.

Lastly, medication was very effective in managing the issue as well. Imodium and peptobismol can be used in combination pretty frequently. This slows down your digestion and reduces gut inflammation, which I hypothesize is what causes the extreme exhaustion symptom. You can also see a doctor for IBS and they can prescribe you other medication that has a similar function but is perhaps stronger such a viberzi, though Imodium and peptobismol worked well enough for me. When I want to experience a cake or something outside my diet, I take all this medicine preemptively, including lactase if having dairy, and eat a small amount of it, and make sure not to do that too often.

I don't know if any of this will actually apply to your situation, but regardless I sincerely hope you find a solution as I did. I certainly understand how poor health is one of the hardest things to deal with emotionally.

Effects of Latent Toxoplasmosis on Political Beliefs and Values
Funny that these ideas are still making "news". I feel like I'm surrounded with people who figured out a long while ago that human's are and have always been necessary to the health of our ecosystems. Our current sad state of affairs is caused not by human intervention, but by human neglect of our relatives on this planet.

99% of human cultures have been gardeners, cultivating land to increase diversity, energy, and abundance. Colonization fucked that up on a worldwide scale, and created this new narrative of humans in opposition to Earth.

I've been working with a partner to change that by connecting people to urban gardens where they can see "human care of Earth" in action. Its called healinggardens.co . Check it out.
Thank you for leaving the dead … super important habitat!

Also wanted to mention the importance of diversity. Everybody thinks trees trees trees but, at least where I live, native prairie plants are just as, if not more important, and are unfortunately largely ignored.
You used to be able to uninstall Nix on macOS with just `rm`. But the move towards multiuser by default combined with macOS changes restricting filesystem access really complicated things. :-\

Some of this, though:

> touched the system in a bunch of places

is probably unavoidable. For a daemon to persist, you have to plug into launchd. To get a writable /nix, you need a special volume. To plug into all the shell environments and set appropriate environment variables, you need to configure a bunch of shells.

Some of that can be improved, for sure. Some of the logic for setting Nix profiles could be moved out of shell scripts, and then only a few static environment variables could be set in /etc/environment instead of modifying shell startup configurations to source a special script, for example. But the messiest part of a tool like Nix is always going to be where it plugs into some other system which has none of Nix's guarantees and isn't under Nix's control.

An improved installer (maybe just like the one in the OP! I haven't tried it yet) is probably the best that can be done here, in automating the handling of those messy points of integration. But it will be a matter of hammering out bugs over time like for any old installer, rather than something that relies on the kinds of guarantees Nix tries to make for its own internal operations. An uninstaller for Nix is something that can (and should!) be done well, but not by simply relying on Nix's usual guide rails.

Reminded of the Japanese native words known as "wago" or "yamato kotoba"[0]:

"Wago...are native Japanese words, meaning those words in Japanese that have been inherited from Old Japanese, rather than being borrowed at some stage. Together with kango (漢語) and gairaigo (外来語), they form one of the three main sources of Japanese words (there is also elaborate Japanese sound symbolism, of mimetic origin). They are also known as yamato kotoba."

Perhaps like "Anglish", there is an ease and softness to yamato kotoba, especially when compared to foreign loan words (both kango and gairaigo). Here[1] is a nice representative sample of 100 words and expressions.

>Then bringing in federal assets to run an extremely local project (forcing those people to also travel for extended periods of time), with no jurisdiction (fed can't overrule state laws on planning typically) sounds like a disaster.

I won't speak to whether or not its wise to reduce military funding, but your statement about why you can't have non-locals working on local projects runs counter to my experience.

From about 2004 to 2014, the state of Oregon spent somewhere somewhere around $1.3 billion to repair hundreds of bridges. The consultant managing the effort assembled a team of dozens of highway and bridge engineers, who worked closely with Oregon Department of Transportation, the NTSB and the Federal Highway Administration to make sure it all complied. For the record, getting a state to sign off on bending state regulations is typically a lot easier than getting the Fed to sign off on bending Fed regulations, to the extant that if a state has less stringent road requirements, those state requirements only apply on roads not covered by the FHWA.

At the end of the project, most of those consulting engineers then got flown to other states (Florida and Pennsylvania come to mind) to work on projects of similar sizes. Does a transplant from Oregon have more knowledge of local concerns than a native Floridian and Pennsylvanian? Of course not. But it turns out that you can hire local for negotiating with contractors, but you cannot just hire local when it comes to managing billion-dollar construction projects, if those don't happen very often locally.

The only difference between a federal organization to manage projects of this scale and a private consulting firm is that the bill to the taxpayers on the latter is an order of magnitude larger.

Housing in Toronto was affordable in the 90s because there was cheaper alternatives. Whether or not one preferred to live in Toronto is immaterial. What is significant is that there was an even more affordable choice to move to the edge of town, keeping pressure away from the core. Price is moderated by choice, after all.

In the 90s, a 100 acre farm here would have sold for around $100,000. Today, the same farm would sell for around $3 million. That is a substantial increase to acquiring the land and a cost that is burdened even if you choose to put a home on the land. This means that there isn't a cheap option outside of town to provide as an alternative like their historically was. And, thus, that puts more pressure on prices within the city.
Problem is that the very definition of a cache is that you have the same thing in two (or more) places, which have to stay in sync. So blind adherence to DRY amounts to never using the technique of caching.
That's a guarantee on the level of the hardware/OS, but hardware semantics are not the same as language/compiler semantics. Even if according to the source code you're dereferencing a pointer value 0x0 or 0x2, that doesn't mean the compiler-emitted machine code will end up telling the hardware to do the same.

Remember this gem?

Once you trigger UB, all bets are off and your code could do anything. A segfault just means you spun the roulette wheel, bet it all on red, and got lucky your house wasn't bulldozed.

Zig also uses LLVM under the hood, right? So it's subject to these same semantics. An LLVM pointer value cannot legally contain arbitrary non-null non-pointer integers such as 0x2. That's a dead giveaway of UB. And I doubt the emitted Zig code safety-checks every pointer dereference for a value less than 0x1000 before performing the dereference.

> No one cares about your Reddit history

This seems like a stretch, right? It could be in someone's *major* financial interest to care. For instance, imagine if someone takes out a life insurance policy and a year later, they tragically pass away. If the person posted on Reddit that they did certain illegal or quasi-legal substances, and the insurance company wants to see if they can avoid paying, wouldn't they perform a cursory Internet search to see if they can make a case that you "obtained your policy through fraud"? (i.e. if you didn't disclose in your application that you use those drugs -- which if you did they would have declined you). Or for instance, if a death was ambiguous and could be argued to be a suicide, and the person posted online that they were depressed. Suicide in many situations forfeits life insurance.

I'm picking life insurance as examples, but this is just one reason why it's probably wise to have almost zero public communication about yourself that's able to be tied in any way to your real identity.

And note: I'm not disagreeing at all with your main statement, that unless one is living the real hermit life, "the government," if motivated enough, already can access so much information about you that this kind of stuff is small potatoes.

> This does throw a wrench in prevailing thought that improved childhood nutrition is leading to taller people.

It absolutely can lead to taller people if the genetic height potential had been suppressed by poor childhood nutrition. You see this in stark form in developing countries where heights are rising rapidly (sometimes nearly a foot in one generation in individual cases). It's not only nutrition - it's access to more modern medicine, including vaccines and treatments, and improved sanitation that prevent childhood diseases that stunted people in the past.

If a population is already on average at its maximum genetic height potential, however, improved nutrition and healthcare isn't going to change height much.

A colleague of mine didn't know that it was possible to revert a commit without commiting (so, leaving the reverted changes in the staging area). In such ocassions you either a) search in google, b) read the manual, c) ask a colleague

But with a command line tool like Gitgpt I guess one could just do:

> gitpgt "revert commit without commiting"

and the command line tool would answer "git revert --no-commit COMMIT_ID_HERE". I think that's quite handy and way faster then options a), b) and c)

parent still has a very strong point considering that a drop in growth (not revenue) quickly translates in projects / features being cancelled. That's a good thing to FailFast from a start-up pov but when me as a start-up needs to make a bet about building on top of certain features this adds to my cost/benefit calculation when deciding if I want to jump on new features (device-shadows, digital-twins, or whatever else is the latest innovation the cloud announces).

From that pov I expect my platform to behave like a utility (never change or only change with strict backward compatibility). That level of control simply is against the business model of the cloud.
