At the behest of the government, no doubt. The Twitter Files show that the real situation is a lot more messy.

Large internet "infrastructure" businesses are in partnership with government officials, so I have no reason to believe that the Parler takedown was anything but political censorship. Maybe not technically, but definitely in spirit and effect - and after all, that's all that really matters.

It shouldn't be all that hard, really. We ban prostitution (whether we should or not is another question). It's the same principle: you can do the thing as much as you like, but you can't pay people for it.

It doesn't have to be strict. It doesn't have to be two sided. For simplicity, maybe you want to only ban the paying side. Say there can't be a post in your budget that says "influence politicians for favourable legislation" if you're an LLC. How limited liability corporations spend money is already pretty monitored, for obvious reasons, so it wouldn't be that hard.

Obama's reputation did suffer, although it probably improved among the right. It wasn't a "total non-issue," it was extremely controversial at the time.

Although, the US being what it is, more people probably celebrated than held a strong opinion either way.

If it makes developers more productive then you can simply do more as an organisation with more developers. How many issues are still open in your Github? Typically there are thousands open in any going concern.

Cutting headcount is a consequence of cuts which is a consequence of priorities, legal, under performance, politics, etc. The very idea that some idiot has the power within the org to just sack developers because they have misunderstood how generative AI works is..... oh wait, that is extremely realistic because humans are very stupid. But also I would suggest it is not indicative of any sort of incoming trend and its unlikely to be best practice.
Thanks. To spare a click to others. The part I found relevant to my question: Animal-based being healthier or not, independently of the environment in general.

> Current overconsumption of meat in Western diets is a significant contributor to poor health and increases a person’s risk of becoming overweight, obese or developing certain noncommunicable diseases. Projections show that a global adoption of a Western diet high in meat intake matched with global population and economic growth will drive significant health burdens and push food systems well beyond environmental limits – multiple studies make the same predictions.

> Avoiding these risks calls for a significant reduction of unhealthy food consumption – particularly poorly produced meat – in high- income countries, in addition to avoiding increasing consumption trends in middle-income countries. At the same time, it is critical that the food system ensures sufficient access to healthy levels of protein that are sustainably produced where hunger and malnutrition persist.

It seems overconsumption of meat and poorly produced meat are the health problems, according to this report (with respect to individual health, environment concerns aside). I wonder how overconsumption is defined. Will try to dig in later.

Is thin an American thing? Can they just pool money at will?

In the EU, if you revoke their SEPA direct debit permission, they are committing a fraud if they try to pull money, and 99.9999% of companies will not even try. If someone still does it, you can revoke the transaction in your online banking interface, and the company will then have to pay an additional fee to the bank.
Sure. But we all know that even if the only reason it exists is because of useful applications that the marketing departments will abuse it, because to them 'push' translates into 'your undivided attention'. That's why every fifth website wants you to enable this - and then good luck if you want to disable it again.
Be careful with trying lots of things. With supplementation you wanna go slowly and keep it small. I don't know if you've seen the threads where people post their "stacks" which are extremely expensive, hugely overdosed, and typically contain mood altering and potentially addictive compounds (more so in the nootropics space), but unless you have infinite money and time and risk budget i'd be more careful than they are.

Good thing to do is look up the contraindications of the things you take. Vitamins and minerals very rarely have any but when you get into mood altering things like Ashwaganda or St Johns Wort you wanna really know what your getting into as there can be dangerous combinations sneakily hidden.
Looks cool, any seminars/talks you recommend? Also, do you need a ticket to "attend remotely"? I can't find the answer on the site (it mentions a remote ticket but also that it's specifically for participating in competitions and voting).
Still major compilers and optimizers are written in C and now C++. GCC was written in C with a custom GC. They have moved to C++ and, as as far as I understand, doing more and more with RAII instead of GC (turns out that peak memory usage is a major factor in compiler performance)
Such stories exist for literally all medical interventions. Do you know how many elderly people deeply regret elective surgeries like hip or knee replacements? How many have tragic stories and want to make sure others don't fall into the same trap?

The major difference between these cases is that the regret rate for transitioning is way, way lower than almost all other medical interventions. This is because we have a long process before anything permanent is done. If you wish to pay so much attention to de-transitioners, will you also look at the data and pay attention to the many, many more people who regret other medical interventions?

Should we ban knee and hip replacements?
Yes, but usually they have a smaller updater instead of the entire browser always having to run in the background. Guessing that’s what OP is complaining about.
Payment processors also don't usually hold funds on your behalf. Visa can refuse to process your transaction, but they can't hold your money hostage because they never have it the first place. IIRC, in order to avoid banking regulations, Paypal claims that legally the balance you hold with them is owned by them. So if they want to close your account and just keep your money then they can (and do). Which is bullshit and a state of affairs should absolutely be regulated out of existence.

100% this is what I experienced .. I was fine for months after taking the supplement then I went away for holiday, forgot my supplement and the leg cramps at night came back after sometime. When i came home, i started taking it again and the cramps were gone. Just from that experience, it confirmed to me that magnesium deficiency was the root cause.
I’ve worked at a certain company maintaining Linux servers and POS systems for retail stores across the country. The AD admin was MS certified and apparently among the certification materials they used to recommend companyname.local as the AD TLD. Meanwhile one of our software suppliers pulled samba which pulled avahi.

It became a big headache at first and then we had to adjust all our image build process to avoid the collision between the domain and multicast DNS libraries.
There are a few composers I support on Patreon who also do their own production via extensive combinations of plugins and soundfonts in applications I've barely ever heard of before. The result is hard to distinguish from a human orchestra, save in the nature of the occasional errors, which are always of composition rather than execution.

This would I think be a lot more common were it not such a niche interest. Even the composers I mention support themselves primarily through orchestration of video game music and the like, using that to subsidize their original work.

I'm not too proud to admit I enjoy the video game stuff, too; I'm no less susceptible to nostalgia than anyone, or maybe somewhat more so. But my point is that, while the technical bar appears fairly high, it is currently within the possible for a composer also to provide the orchestra. It seems likely the technical bar could be lowered, or for that matter that a new production industry could develop in support of those not able to access the more traditional one.
Red Hat basically made linux on the server a reality.

It provided a solid and serious corporate backing to that idea, providing not only software implementation and bug fixes, but also (and maybe more importantly) guidance, training, consulting.

Basically bridging the tech world with the corporate world.

All this in a time where the computing industry was divided among Microsoft and proprietary unix vendors.

Anybody not acknowledging these points would be dishonest at best.
An observation:
Europeans owe quite a bit to interaction with the Indians though patriots might not want to admit it.

The Indian numeric system (often called Arabic in Europe) and the consept of zero (invented in India) enabled both the science revolution and the establishment of modern banks and corporations first in Italy and then in the rest of Europe.
Thank you. So my guess is the 1.5 display scaling plays a role here— there is a penalty to that, since it's not mapping pixels 1:1.[1] So macOS has to do some kind of anti-aliasing?

I'm of course not the first to find out,[2] but it's probably not advisable to try to make raster fonts work as webfonts nowadays. There is no reliable way to disable anti-aliasing. Even if there were, one would be very limited in terms of type sizes, which becomes moot because of displays running with odd scaling… and so on.

Not talking about OP but just know that just as there is a group of people that think that vaccines are bad, there is a group of people that think magnesium solves every health problem and even want to send it to third world countries to help them. Science seems based on some twentieth century doctor that studied the lowering amounts of minerals in the advent of industrial agriculture. Which is indeed the case I believe but is not really as alarming as they make it sound, just eat a bit more vegetables, (Veritasium has video on the subject). The laughable part is that this group lobbies for magnesium chloride which the least bioavailable from of magnesium sold today IIRC.
Nope, he has correctly identified that the author has committed the fallacy of confusing cause and effect. Countries literally have formal policies of raising interest rates when inflation rises, ergo interest rates tend to be high when inflation is high. Why do they do this? Because higher interest rates are prescribed as a cure for inflation. And because it has repeatedly succeeded, over time, in bringing inflation back down again.

So his cargo cult "experiment" proves absolutely nothing because his results are exactly what is expected, just as a doctor would also be unsurprised to discover that a someone with a snide tone about medicine and a middle school grasp of statistics had reached the remarkable conclusion that patients with prescriptions tended to be less healthy than those without.

Firefox doesn't, they do this when you boot up the browser (always fun to boot up a computer that's been sitting unused for a few months and seeing the updater for a few seconds).

Chrome iirc has two update mechanisms, the first being Google Update which is a different application that isn't as resource heavy (and is also used to update applications like Google Earth) and the second being similar to the Firefox update mechanism, but it instead happens in the background while you're using the browser (with an orange exclamation mark when the update is ready to be installed to inform you that the browser needs to be restarted).

Safari updates always have been tied to updates to macOS/iOS, with all the benefits and issues that entails (no automatic updates whatsoever outside of OS updates).
The internet is largely made up of private companies. If Comcast decides to not route traffic to you there is nothing you can do.

> Only one diet has ever been proven to reverse the progression of heart disease, our number one killer, and be effective in treating, arresting, and even reversing other deadly diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. And, that same diet—a whole food, plant-based diet—appears to be the most effective diet for healthy weight loss.
According to the bar chart in the article, chocolate and coffee are also big factors. Why are these not talked about more?

The popularity of RH was (and is) driven by its commercial stability. They were the first to support slow-changing releases over timespans that businesses found realistic. In the enterprise, you can't rebuild a server every other year - you must be able to guarantee stability over 5 years at least. This stability gave major developers (like Oracle) a fixed target they could realistically aim to support with closed-source binaries. This way, they became "the" commercial Linux distribution of choice.

They've since missed a few boats, but still they've been careful to play only in the areas where real money can be made - and they've quietly steered platform evolution over the long term, effectively calling all the shots (or at least all the shots that matter) in the Linux world for a long time now.

B vitamins are more important here, as they are required as cofactors for pretty much every metabolic step in and around the citric acid cycle (aka Krebs cycle, responsible for cell respiration and energy generation), as well as a similar cofactor for steps in the human serotonin synthesis pathway.
Exactly - I think all projects are budget constrained really.

It's funny how even various "must haves" from the start of the project get cut, other things sneak in.

The back log grows and grows.

On the other side: if we increase productivity by say 3x, will we cut the backlog or will it grow 3x faster ?

There is a simple solution.

It's not very necessary when you take the structure of the languages into account. In most cases the vowels are predictable from the grammar[0].

> The Crucial drive has no problem doing at least 100MB/sec for the entire capacity of the drive, if that's your thing.

That's quite slow to be frank, as stated slower than an HDD and that's quite disappointing for an unsuspecting consumer who does want to transfer larger files.

P.S. see the footnote where after 1 hour or about 300 GB the transfer speed start to collapse entirely.

> Consider the 240GB ADATA in the article. It can write over 400MB/sec for over 150 seconds before throttling kicks in. That's 1/4 of the entire drive.
> No, I consider sustained writing at maximum speed for more than several minutes to be an edge case.

It's not specifically about the small 120/240 GB SSDs, the 1TB Crucial shows that larger drives exhibit the same problem. If your SSD is 1TB or 2TB, that 50GB transfer doesn't feel so enormous anymore as compared to drive size.

I'm going to agree that most people won't have a use case for transferring large files. I've actually repurposed the Kingston as an OS drive for my lab server.

But the key objective of my blog post is to show that cheap SSDs exhibit this behaviour in the first place. Many people are not aware / don't know. They can still decide that it's no problem for them. But for some, it will be an issue.

This is not about the smal <$20 SSDs, but about the concept of cheap SSDS often having terrible sustained write speeds, regardless of capacity. And many review sites don't highlight this issue or actually show when the throttling kicks in.
