I'll challenge that, to me this is a no-brainer with mountains of evidence.

You can look at research about using antibiotics or fecal-matter transplants and outcomes on both physiological and psychological health.

Too many to list for antibiotics and host health:

Here's one about treating metabolic syndrome with fecal-matter transplants to cause a shift in host microbiome

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5045147/

"The human gut microbiome is recognized as an independent environmental modulator of host metabolic health and disease. Research in animal models has demonstrated that the gut microbiome has the functional capacity to induce or relieve metabolic syndrome."
From your username I guess you're dutch? Which may be relevant context to why you / people you know refer to the non-Flemish Belgian comics (and perhaps things other than comics?) as 'Franco-Belgian' if using French language while assuming that 'Belgian' without the specifier means Dutch language?

I.e. the same way we all, wherever we're from, add extra words to define stuff that's not our default expectation ("a new neighbour moved in" if they're someone from the same place as us vs. "a new dutch neighbour" moved in if they're from that other country; or buying cheese in the shop vs. buying french cheese), just as a (subconscious often) time saving measure that there's no need to give the adjective when it fits the normal expectation.

Not that I'm an expert on the international nomenclature of bande dessinée comics - though anecdotally, as a Brit (England, not Brittany haha) who grew up reading Asterix and above all Tintin, I thought of them (and think my parents called them) separately as French and Belgian respectively.
If they are cheap will you buy one and send it to me for free?

Maybe it's not the consoles whoch are cheap. It's just you sitting on that 300k per year FAANG salary.
I love these kind of guys. Reminds me of marcoreps too.

Kudos to them
>First, it appears to imply that such a probabilistic inductive approach to science would be free of any philosophical baggage or assumptions

I'm arguing that philosophical baggage is irrelevant to the current practice of science, because the overwhelming majority of published papers have serious and obvious methodological deficiencies that we have collectively agreed to ignore. Science as practised today is a desperate struggle to demonstrate something (p ≤ 0.05) by any means necessary. Established statistical methods have become a means to conceal rather than illuminate. This isn't the fault of individual working scientists, but the fault of the basic information architecture of science and a ritualistic, cargo-cult approach to understanding data. Bayes theorem probably isn't all we need, but it is all we need to spark a scientific renaissance if only we would use the damned thing.
Choosing to have a kid is a choice of the parents, not the child. You're forgetting the child is also a person, one as deserving of the same civil rights as anyone else, at least where we can give them without causing harm to the child.
Parenthood isn't always a lifestyle decision and being a child certainly never is.
We also know that science doesn't do a very good job when it comes to long term effects on human beings. They took awfully long time to declare that smoking is bad, despite plenty of evidence. Same goes for alcohol. They have still not figured out fat, carbs, sugar etc.

I feel, science when it comes to directly observable and measurable systems works pretty well and is accurate. However, when same is applied to systems which are not lab controlled/controllable (like human diet) then it really hard to prove of disprove anything. We are better off believing things which are proven in practice than believe bigpharma funded studies which can be (and are) manipulated by fudging, manufacturing and/or simply twisting data.
And yet, the courts and the police are separate entities.
I'd like to see an updated version of this talk - something that stuck out to me:

"No picking up pennies"

His example as to why this is bad was Kickstarter which was not bootstrapped, but a VC funded business. He also makes a point of saying Kickstarter is the 'best example' of this business model, and they still are losing money - but I'd argue that payment processing companies like Stripe are a successful example of this.

Also, since this talk was given Patreon has become ubiquitous. I don't know their financials (if they are profitable), but they are a "picking up the pennies" company and I know they make a lot of money. If a software company is bringing in hundreds of millions in net income a year and is still unprofitable, it's either because you've grown headcount/expenses without regard to income in an attempt to quickly scale to some high multiple or your business model does not work on a fundamental level (costs increase linearly with income) or you took on too much debt and all profit goes to servicing the debt.

I am pretty sure it's one or the other, right? If someone can think of another scenario I would like to hear it.
The meta on "Joan is awful" is amazing. The self-deprecating humor is hilarious and the whole episode js through provoking. I loved it.

Second episode is a slow burn but it delivers. Third one is the best episode imho, although the ending may shock you.

The fifth episode is classic Black Mirror and may be for some people the strongest in the series.
It's optimistic to assume parents have direct control over whether their kids are screaming or not.
> There is a reason people would complain that "every week is the same story!".

There are many people who like series that are similar each week. Look at the popularity of shows like Friends or The Office.

Maybe a question is, why doesn’t Netflix produce those series that have many episodes but little change each episode?
I’m happy to discuss what “pro social” means in another thread to prevent derailing this one, to be polite to the forum. My thoughts on the idea are that it means taking care of everyone existing first at a reasonable level of quality, before encouraging more folks to have kids with social or economic incentives because the economic pyramid scheme is at risk [1].

If you have the resources, the support network, and the emotional aptitude, by all means, invest in having children. Even if you don’t enjoy the experience (the data shows a significant percentage of parents do not), society gets them as taxpayers eventually. But if you don’t, don’t. The data shows that if unintended pregnancies are avoided (about 40% globally annually, per the Guttmacher Institute and the UN) [2], the fertility rate will settle someone between 50-75% of replacement rate (2.1).

TLDR Optimize for your own happiness (“do no harm but take no shit”). Ignore peer and societal pressure. If that means not having kids, and that causes society challenges, that’s a society problem to solve, versus dumping that externality and reduction of agency, freedom, and options on individuals.

Well, hence the "(supposed to)" bits.
I use this. It's much lighter than its predecessor, bpytop.

You can track this by running both and htop with the total CPU time tracker on htop. btop uses less CPU than htop. bpytop uses much more.

This becomes a bigger deal the longer a machine is running. I specifically use btop for this when fuzzing because any CPU it doesn't use goes to the fuzzer. And I still want to track the state of the machine while fuzzing, especially while fuzzing since it's under extreme load.
Knowing it would barely help you. Both titles are amongst the most overused in the industry. They can mean widely different things in different companies.
Yes, and it’s already happening.
If you were an AI on a computer, and you had a choice of either being copied to a fresh computer with 100% reliability, or having your computer packed up and shipped with a 50% chance of being destroying in transit, which would you pick?
This is a good observation.

It's easy to pass onerous regulations when you won't take an economic hit for it.
Hi! I first knew about Slashdot, I think from the classic Afterstep mailing list!
If you like the previous 5 seasons odds are you'll enjoy it.
and since paying talent less is the only one of those things which is easy to figure out, that’s the one the executives focus on.

recently a lot of Netflix’s most successful shows had deals where the creative team got paid more with each successive season. someone at Netflix set this up to incentivize binge-able shows, but since then, someone else decided it cost too much. so a lot of popular shows got canceled.
I'll bite. Give me a prompt that will generate a response with thus breezy familiarity and have similar kinds of grammatical and typographical errors.
In order to not let the copy of Tintin deteriorate—-I would get them bound—-a few of them together. A faint memory recalls that they were in sequence eg. Explorers of the moon after Destination moon!
They were the first french books I'd read. I loved Snowy and wanted to have a pet dog just like him.

Tintin is surprisingly portable across generations, cultures, and genres.
You cannot understand the declining fertility rates worldwide unless you understand and internalize this graph: https://ourworldindata.org/parents-time-with-kids

Being a parent today is substantially more demanding than it was in the past and this has very wide-raning consequences:

1. While the monetary demands have increased, they are not a huge factor. That's why in places with generous subsidies and cash transfers, the impact on fertility has been positive, but pretty limited.

2. There's a backlash against "wokeness" and women's rights. being a father was easy and spending your nights at the bar with your buddies was perfectly socially acceptable. The demands on being a "good" father today have risen substantially, more so than for women, and some men cannot bear this new burden. But rather than admit weakness they try to point the blame on women who demand the burden be spread equally.

3. People have pets instead of kids. The money, care and attention your average tech worker's dog or cat receives today is probably the same as the average person devoted to their kids in the 50s. That is to say, people's preference for taking care of living being and companionship has not changed much, but many people have been "priced out" because of the new demands. In other words, many of the people you see with pets but no kids today (or pets and one kid) would have been perfectly capable and happy with kids in the past.

If you believe this, as I do, than it's bad news because there's nothing easy on the horizon that can fix this. Cash transfers and subsidies help a little. Support from companies for parental leave help a little. Humanoid house robots could help a lot (imagine a $30k TeslaBot that can do all your housework, no more cleaning, garbage, cooking, tidying, laundry or yardwork), but then the demands for childcare could just take this into account and keep increasing.
Is that what macOS does? (I'm thinking it's coarser granularity, like asks if a program can see a filesystem tree, for a few such checked trees.)
They are not hard to tell apart, AFAICT; they are hard to reduce to a single number for easy comparison.

Your point stands though.
Scaling, the process of responsibly growing a business to support increased sales and market reach, is the next step after a startup achieves Product Market Fit. We cover some insights and guidance for this crucial transition.
Polling relies on sleep. Setting the polling time matters a great deal, because you'll almost always take at least one poll interval to discover that something has come up, and on average every polled step in your startup process adds (poll time/2) to your total start-up time. If you have a bunch of steps that require polling, that adds up fast.

The problem is often relying too much on cold-starts; these polls amortize well in a real system, where you can afford (and want to afford!)
I can definitely appreciate that. One of the biggest issues with environmental factors is that they can directly impact the difficulty of something. Imagine you have some devoutly religious Muslim guy, and you lock him in the Bellagio in Vegas for a year. He's going to have a much harder time following his values than if he was in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It's not like his values themselves, or their own inherent difficulty has changed - but just being in an environment completely contrary to abiding them, makes them vastly more difficult.

So a lot really depends on your environment. And right now, America (and the West in general) has turned into a hellscape for people actually trying to control their weight. By contrast imagine you were in a country with a low obesity rate, no such obesity acceptance, and a culture (portion, clothes, etc) aimed towards more fit weights. It is dramatically easier. So congrats, because yeah - dropping and keeping off 100 lbs in America is definitely an achievement.
In the (very limited) time I've spent in Korea, I got the suspicion that the low birth rate may also be related to the increasing divergence between the life expectations of younger women and the gender norms of Korean society which make 1950s USA look like a woke paradise in comparison.
And CLI params override everything, globally.
The most irritating thing isn't that it's not true per se, but that it follows the exact same template of Fake Coup that Russian stooge Chavez used to disarm the opposition in Venezuela back in the mid 2000's.

(Double checking, this may be the so-called attempted coup in 2002, but I'm not sure. There were several).

Anyway, my Dad, who was a) a veteran of US military intelligence, and b) had lived and worked in Venezuela for years at a time, at the time basically said that such setups were a) traditional Russian strategy for defanging their opposition, and b) yet another example of Chavez following traditional Russian strategies.

Now I don't really expect you to believe me, but there's enough in there that you can look up this stuff for yourself. LIke looking up all the failed coups in Venezuela during Chavez and The Bus Driver's reigns.
They are shooting themselves in the foot. By rejecting wfh they limit their talent pool to leetcode solvers or junior devs. Naturally some experienced devs will prefer onsite, and thats fine, but by and large experienced engineers prefer renote.
I've been using Bitwarden for a very long time without any hassle. It just works. Technology-wise it's effectively the same thing as KeePass+Dropbox, just bundled. It's even open source, so I could export my data and self-host it if needed.

I would be careful about judging the experience of all online password managers based on LastPass.
Tangential observation:

"I don't understand why diversity in higher education admissions is important."

Imagine if Hergé had met a Congolese student before writing "Tintin in the Congo". The atrocities committed in the Congo Free State (which many credibly term a genocide) were in living memory at the time of publishing; the youngest survivors would have been in their twenties. This is an example of how universities often serve a public good for humanity as a whole, far and away from the notion that they exist simply to grab the highest-scoring domestic students possible and shove knowledge and elite connections down their throats. As TFA tells it, Sino-Western relations were altered for the better by Hergé and Chang's encounter and subsequent friendship.
This is not new, Gillette used to give out free razors to get people used to their ecosystem and get recurring revenue.

It’s just more “in your face” now.
You should checkout the Fantasio series also by Franquin. It’s almost all in the 50s and 60s. It’s great! Interestingly, internationally, Franquin’s biggest success seems to have been the marsupilami. The art is amazing and he’s fun. I just wish it had been Gaston. M’enfin!
I have a bigger beef with other Fuck You patterns.

1. The increasingly high number of sites that will show a blank page when I disable Javascript.

2. The increasingly high number of sites that will show a blank page when I disable cookies even if I have no intention to login and often the site doesn't even involve any kind of membership.

3. Sites that refuse me their content because my browser "is no longer supported" but wil gladly open up to me as soon as I tell my browser to lie about its brand or version.

4. Oh, almost forgot! Cloudflare.
I also despise this pattern, it's the same on yelp. I have friends who swear by yelp (I'm not sure why) but every time I get sent links by them their desktop website seems to be purposely absolute trash and nagging me every 10 seconds to download their app and sign in.

I just refuse to deal with that kind of crap. I'm probably not the user they want on their platform and that's fine by me.
Parenthood is necessary so your nation doesn't go extinct and hopefully you get a paid pension from a new generation. As the other commenter said many nations tax having a child free lifestyle just like they tax smoking.
Breadbee: Build your own (tiny) single board computer (2020)
Demon 71 is fantastic. Art direction, music selection, style in spades. Very clever twists on the old horror genre with small camera trick homages.

The one in space featured excellent acting from the actor formerly of Breaking Bad. The level of human cruelty on display left me reeling for a good day and a half.

Honestly, this is one of the stronger seasons. My favorite episode remains Crocodile from a season or two ago: its actress remains criminally underrated.
I wish I still had them.

All the treasure left behind when I moved to the United States.
Thank you, fixed now.
Nah, you don't need to confirm anything except indicate you want to see NSFW content, just like you used to be able to in the website itself. It's just a dark pattern to convert porn viewers to the app.
I’m unfamiliar with Nintendo’s product line and this example proves the point. If I were buying a DS for a kid I’d have no idea which one is the best.
if by "clickbait" you mean that society is more likely to prioritize an issue if its presented as an issue faced primarily by women, then yes.

tldr: 1/3 homeless people are women. who cares about that 2/3 that are men.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment.

You have many good points.

Let me just say that Popper has been philosophically criticized to the point that some say it is a dead horse. Why are we still using this mixture of Fisherian and Neymar-Pearson hypothesis testing (that is if we don't use bayesian methods)? Because it practically works well, not because Popper was right or found a deep philosophical truth.

These methods just generate more often than not knowledge, as we can judge from the consequences.

I argue that nobody cares if the assumptions we put into the frameworks are philosophical true - they are possibilities, and we try some out. So far we seem to be doing pretty well, no matter what philosophers say about the truth of these assumptions.

I also think bending philosophy to apply to practical advice like "use the tool that works" will not leave much to the notion of philosophy.

But it's not that I have a fixed metaphysical position here. I really only use the tool that was most promising in the past for the task at hand. Never needed philosophy.
What advantages does this system provide? Could you give a motivating example?

Bazel’s BUILD.bazel scripts are restricted, but that part is the middle of a “sandwich” which handles the 90% use cases. If you want unfettered execution, you get that in the repository rule phase and the actual build actions (the two slices of bread in our sandwich). This allows you to define build rules dynamically (as long as you can do it before the main part of the build runs) and allows you to run arbitrary code in your build actions (as long as you specify a superset of the inputs and output, and your outputs are disjoint).
Since you're aware of the statistics, how can you reconcile that only pitbulls seem to have bad owners? Wouldn't we assume a more normal distribution of bad owners across breeds, making golden retrievers, great danes, or bloodhounds just as likely to maim and kill other pets or children?
Being a main actor in a typical show is often a lot more grueling than a "steady job". Definitely not 40 hours a week stuff. When I learned of their schedule, I actually felt the opposite of OP: They should get better work/life balance and a season should be only about 12 episodes.
Even if it doesn’t, the values are finite. Tire pressures and temperatures have expected operating ranges and precision limitations.

You could very easily pre-hash the values. It’s not cryptographically secure, but secure enough to prevent your opponent from figuring it out during the race.
People expect respect not hand holding. That kind of comment equating people with children is what gets you rightfully labelled as a jerk.
Workers hold significant moat. Google, and facebook already enjoy a noticeable drop in product quality. By spooking experienced engineers their products will further regress.
Show HN: Quick DNS Switcher for Gnome
Hi HN,

At work I need to switch DNS servers to access our test/acceptance environments. Doing this manually was quite a hassle, so I made a little toolbar menu that lets me do it quickly.

I especially love the websites that tell me I need to be using the latest version of Firefox when.... I'm using the latest version of Firefox. I'm just on Ubuntu
Are these serious opinions? I'm sure in America they said to black folk having kids is a choice as well - you can skip the discrimination by not having a new generation.
> People get bored fairly quickly, but the rare person never gets bored ever, and you have to be very careful of that person because they might be your best user or they might be a terrible person. And if you give them too much control they could do bad things.
At best you'd win some kind of mandatory labeling about when not to do it that people 20 years from now will mock as needless safety warnings for the stupid.
Spirou & Fantasio was an instrumental part of my childhood :) They even went grimdark at a certain point (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_qui_r%C3%AAve) though that wasn't very well received. That and Le Petit Spirou.
The sad part is that you can't even do "ROM" replacements, it won't work for most people. Many countries have multiple apps that you more or less need to function in society, there needs to be a requirement for those apps to be installable on jail broken phones, not just via the official app store, if custom firmware is to make sense. Otherwise that old phone isn't going to provide much value anyway.

10 years of software update isn't actually unreasonable, if you can replace the battery on your phone easily. An iPhone 7 for instance is still a pretty useful phone for many, and I don't see any use cases that would chance that in the next couple of years.

This was the one Tintin my mum wouldn't let me have as a child - at the time I thought it grossly unfair, and argued that surely she could just point out the aspects that were offensively racist the way she'd point out problematic aspects of anything else she might read to me / introduce to me to read myself.

I don't remember the specifics, as it's the only Tintin story I've only read once rather than many times, but when I did read it in my early 20s I immediately told her that I no longer disagreed with her decision to keep it out of the hands of her children.
I think it can go both ways: heavily regulate stuff built abroad to reduce their profit, heavily regulate stuff made locally so that standard is too high for foreign competition to join the market.
Pretty sure it was The Economist that gave me that 60 million figure.
