Now I’m suddenly curious: does enamel regrow the way a precipitate mineral will fill in gaps of a porous rock, or is it a more biological process?

Anyways, thanks for the link. I’m going to read then probably try this out.
I wonder how it stands up against fluoroapatite pastes like Biomin-F.
It cured my baldness.
You are correct, but I don't get where I am wrong. Is it just that I didn't write "equivalent to the Bayes filter equations for linear dynamics and additive Gaussian noise", or do I miss something else?
The current hype cycle indeed reminds me a lot of cryptocurrency. I think there is more substance to generative AI, but the dynamic of wading through all the hype trying to figure out what is and what isn't substantive is giving me deja vu.
Sure, but the point stands that the original poster actually cited ChatGPT as their research, which is where all the reactions cam from. They didn't say "I found these sources from ChatGPT", they just gave us a ChatGPT log as a source.
> At the same time, ads made a lot of the free web possible.

What made all the free web possible was free software, not ads. Google and the likes created empires through ads and breaking laws, we owe nothing to them. The sooner they go, the better. Also, they don't own the ads business model, there are healthier ways to sell, buy and deliver ads and that's not what Google and Meta are doing. They need to go.

> And a big chunk of the last 20 years of internet innovations was sponsored with ads money.

and a much bigger chunk was killed with it.
The History of OS/2
Below the kernel is the hardware. QNX is a nanokernel in which the kernel itself is just a tiny executive and all the real work is done in userspace processes, including process management. Pid 1 is procnto, the usespace process manager, and everything else including drivers are userspace processes started and managed by pid 1.

In short, all the interesting stuff actually happens above the kernel, not below. The kernel just does some grunt work of VMM and IPC.
I'd say equally important to 32bitness, both were needed to run a proper BSD4.x/SystemV Unix (or clone ;) )

(The 286 was enough for a PDP-11 style UNIX, and the 8088 could run a hobbyest-level one OK.)
> I grew up in El Paso Texas and there is a huge refinery in the lower valley and it completely ruined the quality of life. It’s located in a poor immigrant neighborhood right in the city core.

What came first, the city core with residential neighbourhoods or the refinery?

(Some people complain about Van Nuys airport (KVNY), but the airport was there first (the famous scene in the 1942 film Casablanca was shot there), and people built residences around it.)
This is beyond the Juicero level of startup nonsense.

Serious Eats has become by go-to. They make it real easy to go straight to the recipe. There’s also a well written article about the actual recipe development process with insights into why the recipe is the way it is. I also enjoy Kenji Lopez-Alt’s writing.

They found a way to write those SEO-friendly articles but also keep their site usable and even deliver actual value with the article. It’s really impressive.

Yes, there is. But not fixing it makes the user stay longer on Google results then driving ads revenue. Google makes money out of bad results so they won't change this.
'Terminating Internet Access over Piracy Claims Is Drastic and Overbroad'
That's partially why so many llm/ai apps use cloudflare.

An API call can take a lot of seconds. While Cloudflare only bills cpu-time ( eg. 10 ms. ). Other providers bill those seconds too as "duration", while the CPU was just sitting idle.
Hey!

Yes with the —isolated flag it will mimic the pnpm way of installing node modules.

But more generally node modules are hardlinked on windows / linux and reflinked on macos anyway, so disk space should be preserved no matter the install strategy.
Bashunit New Release: 0.9

I'm rather shocked how the quality of their search results has tanked over the years. I used to be able to find decent academic content, or programming related topics quite consistently 5 years ago. Now I'm getting only a few vague results either from stackoverflow, math stackexchange, reddit, or apple, and the rest is just utter garbage. Yandex, of all search engines provide consistently better results. Fortunately, Google Scholar did not suffer this fate yet, but I'm dreading the day when it will.
You make it sound as if that was goodwill, but there's money in that, I believe.

I'm not saying that the money is full reason, but at least partial.
When you say “fairly new” what timeframe are you thinking about?

Just because we have a ton of evidence of humans collaborating as far as historical artifacts go back. But then of course with the appropriate perspective almost everything is fairly new. Would you call Göbekli Tepe fairly new for example?

After all 9000 BCE was just yesterday compared to the invention of multicellular life for example. Which is also massively about cooperation.
As a currently homeless, disabled person living in a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan, yes, I wonder who has that kind of money. And you know what else I see all over the deserts and national parks I now call home? Starlink. Everyone has StarlinK. That is expensive enough, but the rigs they sit on top of are huge and money as well.

I am all good with my situation, but I know many people who have it worse than me with not even a car to live in, so when I see opulence like this for the novelty of it I wonder where human compassion has gone.

And to make like these things are doing anything for the environment is just green washing. I have solar power that cost me $700 in total that powers everything I need. My sleeping bag is my heater and my reflective tarps are my AC. I am sure my carbon foot print in minuscule compare to anyone who could afford a Jupe.
I thought it was odd to stipulate the use of a frying pan; I thought the "refritos" bit was a misnomer. My method involves simmering the beans with garlic until soft, mixing in butter, and then whizzing/mashing. There is no "frying" step, unless you like to scour frying pans.
Alternatively, if you just want to integrate Copilot into Neovim and get on with your day, I recently discovered that the latest LazyVim makes this option as an extra out of the box.

I actually discovered this while working on Shell Bling Ubuntu, which is a couple of easy scripts to get you a bunch of modern command line tools nice and configured in one go, but you can just scroll down to "Add Copilot to Neovim" to see. It's refreshingly user friendly for NV configs.

> save the environment

The environment we live in, BTW.

The planet itself will be fine: it has been smacked more than once with asteroids and is still here.

What we're talking about is preserving the climatic conditions that human civilization can comfortably live in. "Saving the environment" is about saving ourselves.
Fair but I don't think Cursor is one of those. I'm not using it myself but I've heard a lot of praise. What they're innovating on is the UX where the diff gets integrated into your code in real-time. It's like watching someone fix or change your code per your instructions, instead of using ChatGPT where you basically copypaste it after it's done.
When you need to find useful information on the web, people on Reddit are better than any search engine. Nothing yet beats human mind.
I don't think the US' overreaction to terrorism and online security threats in 2001 was an attempt to spy on citizens in general. Legal grey areas made that possible, and it is the 'obvious' thing to do when you're setting up a digital security infrastructure.

The first duty of a government is to preserve the existence of the state (incl. society, etc.) -- when faced with apparent existential threats, they often severely overreact.

Very few people's intentions here are to 'monitor' every word of every citizen -- this is really a strange, i think quite naive, misreading of the situation. That might be the net consequence, to some degree, but basically no one involved intends it.

And if you go around thinking this, and accusing people of it, I don't think you're going to be very effective.

Rather each person involved is just laser focused on preventing existential threats to the state. Secret police, and so on, even arent a real attempt to monitor citizens -- theyre just to prevent a rebellion, ie., an existential threat.

Large scale online crime is a threat to the state -- mass organised crime, new digital mafias etc. present a rival to the state's monopoly on violence, and it has a duty to prevent this from happening. Almost 'at all costs'.

If it were ever to be that online life became sufficiently unmonitorable that mass organisation of criminal networks were made possible, we'd really not be talking about 'privacy' at all -- see, for example, developing nations where this is status quo.

I suspect the reality is that we're rich enough to support a basically effecitve police force, and most importantly, not to have large pools of desperate young people with no jobs. This is really what enables us to make these demands for rights.

The logic of state action is basically well-motivated, even if it has to be prevented for the high negative concequences it may have.
This looks bad on mobile and has the classic “desktop zoomed out view”. Looks like it must be missing the correct HTML meta properties. Should be an easy fix.
Mechanistically, it makes sense. Fluoride is intended to perform a similar role of strengthening the enamel, so it makes sense to directly use the enamel substance as a paste to provide tooth regrowth materials at the site they’re needed. It has helped me with some tooth issues.

Not sure about the parent commender, but a few of the small SaaS companies I've worked with were regularly targeted by carding and credential stuffing attacks. I don't know whether the attackers ever realised much direct benefit from targeting them, I always thought they were just soft targets for validating credit card or credential lists.

But if you don't have any DDoS protection set up, either of these attacks will essentially be L7 DDoS attacks when deployed at scale.

Its not necessary for multihoming.
I am el-cheapo multihomed using Linux router. I use policy routing with 2 default routes (primary and secondary) and everything works like a charm. I could even try to do some ECMP but I care more about stability of ping/jitter that raw bandwidth. And you dont need to bother to ask ISP for BGP or static IPs. You just take whatever you have and slap it together.
Buttons/ ribbons should be in addition to the menu though.

And a keyboard shortcut is still faster.

The menu shortcut system is really good for those large enterprise systems, where multiple users use it in very different ways.
If you're just inputting data, you can slowly learn the shortcuts for that. If you spend your time generating reports, you can learn the shortcuts for that. There doesn't need to be any assumptions about how the software will be used. There doesn't need to be loads of effort put into a flexible UI.
To me it does not matter. I am buying Teensy like boards for small scale production and said production is out of the question with this kind of price. For my own use - as already said I'll get something much more powerful for the same money.

Everyone centralizing around a few sources to deal with the web turning to garbage is a symptom of the problem. Google should return travelogues and official websites for locales, maybe offer hotel and flight bookings, not an endless scroll of spun and AI-generated trash.

They shouldn't have to site:wikivoyage.org just to find anything useful. You shouldn't need site:reddit.com to make general searches useful. This is broken.
So much this. Also having money means you can buy in advance, or in quantities -important for a relatively big family-, also have a car, for example, and can go further to get better deals in X.
Do you do any better studying with other people? Either formally, like in a class (online or in person, but synchronous is better at keeping you accountable, I think), or informally like once a week at a cafe or such?
Interesting idea, is it a permanent fix or do you have to keep doing it?
> In that case I'll just rollback the first one

At that point you're not deploying separately any more. They explicitly say you can have multiple processes and process types as part of the same app (see #8). The point is that "repo of its own" should align with "atomic unit of release/deployment".
Is this a parody? Are people spending 25k on a tent? Holy smokes.
> Are you certain that climate activists are the ones correctly accounting for the costs and benefits of their proposals?

The insurance companies are certainly doing accounting for climate change:

* https://www.munichre.com/en/risks/climate-change.html

* https://www.insuranceinstitute.ca/en/resources/insights-rese...

* https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/climate-change-is...

* https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2023/08/09/climate-change-cana...

They regularly have to pay out for what happens, and they're not happy about the direction things are going and are passing the cost along. Just ask anyone living in Florida:

* https://www.newsweek.com/florida-insurance-crisis-explained-...

* https://www.pnj.com/story/money/2023/07/12/florida-insurance...

And it's probably a fairly safe assumption that it's only going to get more expensive.

Just published a new article about "The CI/CD Flywheel". Why it's such a superpower for teams that embrace it, and how it maps to CI/CD pipelines.

I dive into the different steps of the CI/CD flywheel, including local code authoring, running CI jobs on pull-requests, deploying and verifying on staging (preproduction) environments, and finally deploying and verifying in production.

Then, I try to showcase the business and technical benefits of a proper CI/CD pipeline.

Busines benefits:
- Ship value to customers more often
- Earn and retain customer trust
- Fast experimentation feedback loop
- Attract the right talent
- Cost reduction

Technical benefits:
- Code quality
- Comprehensive tests
- Automate repetitive tasks for reproducibility
- Build once, use everywhere
- Controlled rollouts and faster Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR)
The good old web in its glory. Still up and alive. I love it.
I'll emphasize a point you alluded to: tab hoarding is driven partly by the algorithmic instability of served content. If pages didn't refresh on the platform's whims, users could navigate back and forth to hub pages, like they used to. Now, it's unlikely that Youtube or Twitter's feed pages will be the same even two minutes apart, and they're designed to serve you content that you enjoy. The only way to ensure that you have access to that content is to immediately open every link that seems halfway interesting; otherwise, they're liable to disappear into the ether, never to be found again.

That the modern web is designed to encourage addiction and OCD is not my fault.
When my oldest daughter began developing cavities in her baby molars, our dentist used silver diamine to stave off putting in a filling until she was older.

It was a stopgap measure; it only slowed the decay, not prevent or reverse it, and we had to switch to a three month checkup cycle to monitor the situation and reapply the silver diamine.
You got me curious about tooth osteoblasts, some links:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK572055/#:~:text=The%20....

They’re actually called ameloblasts and it seems they do not persist long term (according to our current understanding) “ The cells are part of the reduced enamel epithelium after enamel maturation and then subsequently undergo apoptosis before or after tooth eruption.” from:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameloblast?wprov=sfti1#1._Morp...

However anecdotally, I feel like my teeth did recover from a crack without any dental work
Not at all. Evil requires that the perpetrator understand that what they are doing is wrong. So stupidity mitigates against evil. The law properly applied punishes those who understand their wrongdoing more than those who do not.

Perhaps that's ok, because it's about persistence of information, not where it lives. I suppose you could view this as longer some information lives somewhere (doesn't matter where) the higher ranking it gets. If that information gets relocated, not a problem, it was seen somewhere else before, therefore it could be still regarded as high ranking.
Backstabbing is real, for sure. I haven't really learned the "sabotage" thing until I've experienced it too many times to ignore it for my own well-being.

The "relative peace and harmony" is achieved by always being aware of the chasm, even when it is not visible, even when it appears we are all brothers and sisters. It is always there, always will be. I make myself no illusions about that.

But the popular groups is usually where the money is while the soloists are usually the keepers of the technical knowledge. Know the chasm, know each other's roles, don't be fooled by The Team and the nice feel-good words and you'll be fine. Or at least you'll start to put a distance where a distance is needed between the two groups.

Take what is best of any given situation, leave behind what is worst. The popular groups do it all the time with their fly traps. You should do it, too. There is no shame in being selfish and looking up for your own good.
I think its the former because enamel is a mineral and not living tissue—This is just my uneducated opinion though.
You should also try Sensodyne repair and protect. I heard it's not available in the US, but the EU ones contain Novamin which really helps sensitive tooth.
