My web development practices were nurtured in the late 90s and early 00s.

Back then JavaScript was to be used solely for non-critical, nice-to-have optional functionality that would regardless not inhibit the user; using JavaScript was contingent on your website gracefully falling back to a perfectly usable state in its absense. If your page failed to load without JavaScript, you were doing it wrong. If your JavaScript hassled your users, you were doing it wrong.

I lament that that philosophy got thrown out the window some time in the early 2010s, which subsequently led to the hellscape of websites filled to its armpits with JavaShit that serve no good purpose which we see today.
I look forward to reading studies, do you have some to back up this hypothesis? I'm not being glib, if you have some I'd love to read them. I have not found any.
It's not that easy, because:

- not all jobs can be automated

- manual laborers make less money

If you see immigrants all around you doing great, while you clean toilets and struggle to feed yourself, that breeds resentment of your government.

And sure, it's easy to say the jobs should just pay more, but that's not the reality today, and if your choice is working a shitty job or starving then that's not really a choice at all.

I would also rather have the chemical engineer, but I think it would be even better to live in a society where both the delivery driver and the chemical engineer are net positives to society.

Russia themselves talks about unifying Russia and how "1991" was a tragedy (1991 being when Ukraine got its independence) in their victory article that they mistakenly posted shortly after the war started.

They don't mention a coup, or NATO or anything else.

But don't take my word for it, take theres.

>> Russia is restoring its unity - the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe of our history, its unnatural dislocation, have been overcome. Yes, at a high price, yes, through the tragic events of the virtual civil war, because now brothers separated by belonging to the Russian and Ukrainian armies are still shooting at each other - but Ukraine will no longer be anti-Russia. Russia is restoring its historical fullness by gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together - in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians. If we had abandoned this, allowed temporary division to gain a foothold for centuries, we would not only betray the memory of our ancestors, but would also be cursed by our descendants - for allowing the collapse of the Russian land.
Your definition of common sense is not really common. Flash, for example, was one of the very early use cases of an ActiveX control. This unsafe technology was supported by Internet Explorer until the end. The IE11 engine is still an installable part of Windows 11. Netscape Navigator plug-ins also were binary code modules. NPAPI was supported by Google Chrome until 2015.

There were warnings from the beginning (both with ActiveX and NPAPI), but for most engineers, getting things done took precedence over trust issues. Youtube, for example, would not have been possible until much later without Flash.

Prompt-Injection: Running Go Binary on OpenAI Code Interpreter
The goal of losing weight is to lose fat, it's not about bringing down the number on the scale. Exercise is going to build muscle or at least maintain it. The second study you linked cites this study that lasted for 12 weeks[0]:

>Subjects and methods: In a longitudinal clinical study, 121 healthy, overweight postmenopausal women (age 53.8 +/- 2.5 years, body mass index: 29.7 +/- 3.1 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to 3 groups: controls, a 4,200 kJ/d diet, or a 4,200 kJ/d diet with combined aerobic and anaerobic exercise.

>Results: /.../ The mean loss of body weight (9.5 kg versus 10.3 kg, NS) was similar in the intervention groups, but compared with the diet-only group, the diet-plus-exercise group lost more fat (7.8 kg versus 9.6 kg, p < 0.001) and no lean tissue mass (1.2 kg versus -0.0 kg, p < 0.001). The resting metabolic rate (per kg wt) was increased in the diet-plus-exercise group compared with the control group (11% versus 4%, p < 0.009).

If the people that exercised stopped exercising they would lose the muscle they gained/maintained and lose additional weight.

PS: I like that this study is written in a way that's relatively easy to follow.

I've worked at a couple places that had the "dual track", where they claimed that engineers can get promoted just like managers. The problem is, to be a VP manager, you need to be a really good manager. To be a VP level IC, you need to be the best in the entire industry in your field.

So sure, you can accelerate just like the managers, but in reality it's far harder on the IC track.

Cython is the most general tool. It can be used to do anything from making bindings from C/Cpp to Python, Python to C/Cpp, to writing compiled “Python-like” code in an intermediate layer that can be used for managing your wrappers or just writing performant code.

If you just want the ability to provide a Python interface to a C/Cpp library PyBind11 will get you there in fewer LoC than Cython. Nanobind is an even lighter weight option.

I’ve heard Swig is a pain to use.
What I've found, in my case, is that exercise has an effect on food intake. Sure, when I move more, I tend to be hungrier and eat more. But what's interesting, is it has an effect on what I want to eat and especially on my "cravings". It basically makes me hate "junk food", and instead want to eat meat and vegetables.

If I'm already doing this, I need to pay some attention to not overeat. But when I used to binge on crappy foods, it made an immediate and enormous difference to my waistline.
Why not? With max 45W it would throttle a lot under heavy loads.

It feels like a weird fossil for sure. The absence of rigor mortis in the mammal is particularly puzzling. Not a single vertebra out of its place. The column seems relaxed. Where are the forces and tendons?

The second thing that I noticed is that the bones from both animals lie too close (in my non expert opinion, could be wrong). If somebody grabs a leg with its hand, there is muscle and skin in between. Is expected that the phalanges would remain a little apart from the femur. In the fossil it seems that there is not any space in between. I wouldn't discard the case of a scavenger biting a partially skeletonized body but in that case its arms and legs would lie in different positions.

That dinosaur beak could also chop that hand probably. Why is entire?. I don't see any of the expected results of such fight. No broken bones in the mammal it seems. That would happen only if the mammal was poisonous and an insta-killer, but nothing suggests that.

And not a single bone crushed or broken by the pressure of the sediment it seems. Not one missing.

Is... I wouldn't say fake, but very weird for sure.

Yes, the word lockdown means forced quarantine of the entire population by law (except "essential" workers). Were they really voluntary everywhere in the USA?

In a system with a stable currency, you can.

> Studies show that exercise doesn't help you lose any appreciable amount of weight. It's good for you and you should do it, but it doesn't help with weight loss.

Depends on your definition of appreciable. I started measuring calories in vs out in 2021, lost ~25 kg since then (OK I lost almost 40 kg since then but I bounced back a little). I have a pretty good idea by now how much calories I burn by walking and biking (about 60 kcal per km walked, about 30 kcal per km biked).

It might seem low, but in that time I walked over 7km a day on average and biked over 5 km a day (mostly big trips on weekends + some walking on work days).

At my weight and intensity that's ~500 kcal deficit per day. Makes it much easier to stay in the negatives.
I think the article's point is that if you're doing single-threaded concurrency then you don't (or at least might not) need synchronization primitives. If you're writing a Node script, for example, then you don't have to worry about two callbacks trying to modify the same variable at the same time because you know that there is only one thread of execution.
Nvidia just released FreeBSD Display Driver 535.86.05 (2023.7.18)
Multi threading and concurrency are not the same. You can have a very high performance server that handles thousands of requests concurrently on a single thread. That's how node/deno do things.

But the way to do things in async rust is that if you want concurrency you also have to use multithreading. At least that is what you see in all the examples and docs.

As soon as you require your futures to be Send you have to use not just concurrency but full blown multithreading primitives.

So e.g. you have to use Arc<RwLock<...>> where a Rc<RefCell<...>> would suffice.

Now, to be fair, both futures and tokio support local futures. There is boxed_local (https://docs.rs/futures/latest/futures/future/trait.FutureEx...) and tokio-util even comes with an optional local task pool (https://docs.rs/tokio-util/latest/tokio_util/task/struct.Loc...).

But these features are hidden and certainly not promoted in examples and documentation.

Find what works for your body without doing anything that makes you hate life.

I tried the "eat less, exercise more" routine for two years straight when I weighed over 340 lbs. Calorie restriction and walking everyday. I lost 50 lbs but had to quit because I was no longer able to motivate myself to keep doing it because I was absolutely exhausted.

Switched to keto on whim because I basically said "let me find something nutritious for my body that I can eat every day and satisfies me". The only option for me was paleo-related stuff.

No exercise, no calorie counting and I lost 90lbs in a single year. I felt healthier, slept better, had better hair, skin and joints, and several people thought I had a disease I lost so much weight so quickly.

10 years in and I still do not count calories. Ever. I eat meat, dairy and protein with as little sugar and carbs as possible. I am never hungry. I eat what I want, when I want as long as it is low carb.

I now consider this to be a solved problem for me. I'm not saying keto is for everyone, but find what works for you. It will be obvious to your body when you do.

This is not a bitcoin mining rig. And no, it wouldn't start to throttle, it would stop turbo. And the primary purpose of turbo is to get short bursts that the CPU might not even be able to maintain regardless of cooling system.

Designing the cooling system to keep up with that is by definition overkill. Which might be fine! Overkill can be fun. But it kind of goes in the face with a small system like a NUC.
>Now they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off desperately trying to find some way to increase the value provided/decrease the value needed to stave off certain death.

Problem is who they are appealing to has different "value" than the actual users of the website. A classic problem of shareholder funded business. This is inevitable for stuff like ads but there are definitely ways to increase value that actual users would appreciate and at the very least shareholders would be neutral towards. Better moderation tools, for instance.
Ahhh that makes a lot of sense!! Thank you! I guess it is inevitable that an attacker could have access to something, no matter how constrained and limited it is, as long as they can get an employee to authenticate even if it is for a single action.

It still sounds miles better than the traditional IT hell that is trying to constrain the devices as much as possible instead of securing the network and implementing auth internally.

Modern bodybuilding is so far gone off the deep end, it's insane. Competitors are so severely dehydrated at the time of competition that they can barely manage the exertion of standing on stage and posing. There are more deaths in bodybuilding than any other sport, even stuff like MMA.
I made a simple rule, but i'm not sure it will work for everyone, but I lost 77 lbs in 2022 due to a health issue and it seems to work.

Basically I have to be hungry from 6 pm to 9 am (and not eat), for at least a week, preferably 2 weeks. If I feel hungry for a period, i lose weight or at worst stay at current weight. Usually i lose a few pounds. Then I can have periods where I can eat more and gain a few, then I just go back to not eating as much and it goes down again.
The key thing is to just feel that hunger feeling relatively often and it's usually a good sign.

I get used to the hunger feeling after awhile, so it's not that big of an issue after that.

For me the biggest issue with Async is the management of multiple dependent async calls. It has some weird thing going on and I am not sure which pattern to use exactly. Some functions expect exactly same async fn signature some not and I am not sure why and which one to use.
The point of linking (2) was to provide a meta-analysis of many studies, and to reduce the specific weighting of individual outliers. There were plenty of outliers in the other direction. Measuring after 12 weeks isn't really useful - what matters is long-term outcomes and sustainability - and honestly I don't know that postmenopausal women are entirely representative.

The meta-analysis is clear, the longer you wait to follow up the worse the numbers get.

> The achievement after 2 years may appear small, averaging 1.64 kg or 1.24 kg m−2 loss of body weight after a combination of dietary changes and increased physical activity. [2]

The meta-analysis only included overweight or obese participants, so BMI 25+ or 30+. That's a total body weight change of less than 5%, after 2 years. Even cherry-picking on 6 year study showed a 5% drop in weight, for obese people who need to lose 20 or 30% to return to a normal weight.

The important take-aways here are that studies only look good until you follow up on the participants (12 weeks is not useful) - and that statistical significance isn't practical significance. 3lbs of total weight loss after 2 years is good, of course, but it's an umbrella in a hurricane.
It seems V is now delivering quite well.
Alright, but if you stop the turbo mode doesn't that invalidate a lot of CPU benchmarks? Is the CPU much slower than what we could believe it is in real life?

I used vx32 as a technical demo before workers came to be. It was super useful.

However, vx32 itself is very much not production ready. There are issues with instruction decoding, floating point, and interrupt handling. (it uses itimer as a schedululer tick for preemption).

I think playing with vx32 is a great experience, taught me way more than all my systems programming classes at uni.

Vx32 was a predecessor to NaCL, and shared the same problems. Nowadays WASI seems to have taken this niche.
They were essentially the same idea as WASM -- a portable machine code that runs on web browsers -- but a quarter of a century earlier.

I suspect Java applets fell out of fashion because they could only manipulate a rectangular area of the screen and not the DOM. Did the DOM even exist in 1995?
