Modern dietary guidelines still put breads at the bottom, the Harvard Healthy Eating Pyramid is a really good version of the "pyramid infographic" style of nutritional guidance. There is some evidence the old US food pyramid guideline of 5-11 servings of grains were influenced by lobbying from the food industry, however by my calculations 5-11 servings of grains is pretty much necessary if you follow the AHA's optimal health guidelines of 300 minutes of cardio per week.

If you look into the history of how the US food pyramid got made the biggest influence of industry lobbyists were on the meat and dairy recommendations, changing "no more than 2-3 servings" to "2-3 servings a day" and removing red meat from the "sparingly" peak at the top of the pyramid.
I am strongly in favor of this. I would also like HN to implement a warning that your comment may be extremely uninteresting if it starts out with, "Unfortunately..." or, "Can we all just agree that..."
It's going to vary from school to school. Here's Caltech's requirements for courses outside of your major:

1. 2 freshman humanities courses, from 2 different divisions of the humanities. This will be 18 units [1] of humanities.

2. 2 introductory social sciences courses, from 2 different disciplines (e.g., anthropology and economics). That's another 18 units.

3. 18 units of advanced humanities.

4. 18 units of advanced social sciences in the same disciplines that you took in #2.

5. 36 more units of humanities and social sciences from any mix of humanities and social sciences you want, except no freshman classes).

That works out to 108 units of humanities and social sciences, which is 22% of your coursework if you do the minimum amount of other coursework to graduate. If you took a very heavy course load, petitioning to take an overload every term for 4 years, it would still be 17% of your time spent on humanities and social sciences. It's around 20% for the typical student.

Also Caltech has some breadth requirements for STEM outside your major. Everyone has to take calculus, physics, chemistry, biology, at least one lab course, and at least one other science course. Even if you go to Caltech to major in English (and yes, that does happen) you are going to have take those science courses--and they don't have some watered down versions of them for non-majors. You'll be taking the same physics for example that physics majors take.

I believe that MIT has similar requirements.

[1] A class that you are expected to spend N hours a week on (lectures + homework + labs) earns you N units per term, and there are 3 terms per year. Most classes are 9 units. 486 units to graduate. Normal load is 36 to 48 units per term.

Probably, but my org leans very heavily on outsourced IT, and so we are at the mercy of whatever their policy is. Also - if I let the said outside IT take over management - it will go wrong. The current system just means I need to go find a director and ask them for a company credit card - it really isn't any more complicated than that. The big drama is that I never created a personal work account, so I only have my AD one, and I am not allowed by MS to create an account associated with that identity now. If I go to renew, I guess as we have always done it via retail, that is the only option. The pain I went through to transfer this account to my identity after the original owner left the company, I am not really likely to mess with it again if I only have to do this dance once a year.

if a format supports layouts with space between columns and layouts without, you do need some user-interface action ("manual fiddling") to choose between them, whatever the default is

if you only support one of the two options, it's true that you don't need that user-interface action, but that's not because it requires less manual fiddling to achieve the same result; it's because it can only achieve the result that the more expressive format could achieve without manual fiddling, while the other option becomes impossible instead of fiddly

and that's true regardless of whether the fiddling-free option has the extra spacing or lacks it

you seem to have been responding to an earlier edition of my comment, by the way, because your response no longer makes sense in context because i already clarified some things you misunderstood; i mention this partly in case other people are puzzled as to what you are talking about

i didn't realize you'd implemented elastic tabstops yourself! which editors did you write it for?

i don't agree that relayout of a large table with new column widths is an inherently expensive operation (in the absence of word wrap) but i can easily believe that there are software environments that make it so
I think they kind of cover that:

> They found the chemical biomarkers of seaweed and aquatic plants in 26 samples, which suggests that early humans were eating—or, at the very least, chewing—these bounties from the sea

Like, yeah maybe the fish they were eating was covered with seaweed, but unless they were popping the stomach/intestines into their mouth... for the parasite load(?), the seaweed in the fish is digested. This isn't Carbon-14 dating, they identified families of plants on the the ancient teeth, not digested plant matter.
I thought at first the library would just call out to some web API to do the actual magic, but seems it's actually running the model locally, which is very nice to see.

So it seems there is a bundled models (bundle/models/{small,medium,large}) but I don't see the code responsible for creating those. Anyone knows where the source is located? It's the final piece of the puzzle to figure out if this thing is FOSS or not.
> archaeologists had long assumed that the introduction of farming during the Neolithic era meant that early humans largely abandoned such foods from the sea

Always hard to tell if researchers are really as dull as these press releases make them to seem, or it's just academia's form of clickbait. Did anyone in their right mind really think that people went "ok, we've found a very labor intensive way to have food available for a relatively short period of a year, conditional on lots of factors like the weather, pests, disease, etc... time to put the kibosh on all other processes of generating caloric intake that we've honed for millennia!"
The main concern is probably that the 'safety factor' between current publicly known state of the attack and it being dangerous is less than the community is comfortable with sensibly recommending is safe.
No, but we should probably stop eating or cut back seriously on cookies, cakes, and other non-fruit sources of sugar.

You misunderstood how and when the warrant was issued. “The person” who you are assuming must have had some other incriminating evidence against him was not even identified until after the warrant was executed.
Indeed. The author claims that >50% of young people report loneliness, and then goes on to suggest that the workplace must take on the responsibility of solving this problem. But of course, no consideration is given to the other ~50% who don't report such problems. Are they going to be forced into some bizarre, far-reaching camaraderie designed or endorsed by the employer? Will this result in cliques? Forced socialization like this, especially with the implied overreach, and run by a corporate entity whose purpose is not to solve your social problems and issues with isolation for you, sounds like a recipe for manipulation, exploitation, and control; the corporate cult. No thanks! And what happens when you get laid off or go to another job? Your social network won't survive the transition.

I am not opposed to the idea that people form a healthy social environment at work. If you work at some place for long enough, if not frustrated, a society of familiarity will form. And yes, a certain mission, duty, or responsibility does bring people together, however banal. But all of this looks like people are barking up the wrong tree. It's like expecting your spouse or job to make you happy. That's not their job, and a selfish, vicious, and stupid responsibility to try to dump on someone. With the destruction of family life, the resulting disintegration of community and society, the buying into of a thoroughly ugly, nihilistic, and hedonistic culture that destroys one's very capacity to understand the nature of human relationships and to engage in them in a healthy manner, and given that work takes up most of a person's time, it may become tempting for lost people to try to dump their misplaced grievances and hopes at the feet of their company. But a company is part of society, not a substitute. This will not solve your problems. Companies serve society. Destroy society, and you destroy the raison d'etre of the company.

Don't make things worse by trying to be "happy". There is no greater source of human misery than the incessant pursuit of some vague "happiness". No one deserves to be happy. That's entitlement. Focus instead of doing what is objectively good, on the quiet pursuit of excellence. Serve the good of others (and not in some grandiose, virtue signaling, bullshit social media sense, but in many small, quiet, everyday ways, as the part of the very fabric of everyday life). The social connections will follow as societies are built not by the takers, but by givers. Perhaps along the way you will notice the necessity of the transcendent, as the immanent is not just meaningless, but impossible without the bona fide transcendent.

Making claims like this requires evidence. You can claim that they might mishandle your data due to incompetence, but claiming that they are illicitly selling it is a whole other thing.

- Sharing to people/entities at the users direction

- Any future commonly owned entities (23&me goes through a merger, new org has your data)

- Valid court orders ("23andMe will not provide information to law enforcement unless required by law to comply with a valid court order, subpoena, or search warrant")

Pinball is boring and old school by todays standard, so not much money is made with modern pinball-games. And not enough money being made, means not many have enough resources and motivation to invest into a high end-implementation. And high end-cards like the 4090 have not that units around either, so the market is even smaller.

Though, you probably don't need high end-cards and big money for a high end-pinball today. Maybe just some motivated well skilled small team would be enough?
The idea is quite interesting, but it would be more useful if we could perform an action when a threat is detected. For example, in the network module, we can use the eBPF-provided actions: drop, forward, or log.

Chapel has at least several full-time developers at Cray/HPE and (I think) the US national labs, and has had some for almost two decades. That's much more than $100k.

Chapel is also just one of many other projects broadly interested in developing new programming languages for "high performance" programming. Out of that large field, Chapel is not especially related to the specific ideas or design goals of Mojo. Much more related are things like Codon (https://exaloop.io), and the metaprogramming models in Terra (https://terralang.org), Nim (https://nim-lang.org), and Zig (https://ziglang.org).

But Chapel is great! It has a lot of good ideas, especially for distributed-memory programming, which is its historical focus. It is more related to Legion (https://legion.stanford.edu, https://regent-lang.org), parallel & distributed Fortran, ZPL, etc.

If the corporation refuses to cooperate (and this seems to be the norm), the union's only option is to fight.
This assumes that your ideal tech stack is the same as my ideal tech stack. It also assumes that every project has the same technical challenges and requirements. Neither of those things is true.

I see your point but respectfully disagree with the conclusion. Comparing to numpy, not native python, would be the right move. Again, I don't write matmuls in pure python. I do compute matmuls in numpy. I don't actually know whether numpy is 90,000x faster than pure python, so this benchmark is not useful for me.

If they want to show all 3: mojo, numpy, and pure python, then that might be the best of all worlds. They could brag about being 90,000x faster than python, while at the same time showing the actual slowdown of using a pure python-like language (mojo) compared to a compiled numpy library. Let's say the mojo code ends up being 0.5x as fast as numpy; that would still be a pretty great tradeoff for being able to do it all in one language. If you're a python programmer and want to do something that isn't possible with the existing compiled libraries, this would be a good sell. To me, that's still the real comparison of interest.

This is the exact opposite of what I understood to be the case. I thought that if you eat more calories than you consume you store them as fat, it doesn't matter if what you consume is fat or not, in fact consuming fat can help because it takes longer to digest and keeps you full and you may eat less than if you are eating sugary things that digest quickly.
Yup and that’s the thing, is that programming languages require a lot of work, more than anyone is willing to fund (these days most accurately measured in man-decades). Except corporations and sometimes VCs, and that’s why we most of us use the same handful of mostly identical (in the space of PLs they are all in the same corner) corporate-sponsored programming languages.
> You justified their choice pretty much perfectly - they want to ensure that when someone reports a bug that they're running exactly the software that's expected.

As a user, I'd rather build it against my local environment so that it works on my machine. I can understand their perspective, but it's still hilarious to me because the Rust community is generally build-oriented, as opposed to binary-oriented. So you get comments like OP's which balk at the idea of being so strongly discouraged from building.

For alternative drop-in fuels, whether renewable or not, there is major pressure to make them just plain higher quality than conventional even when it's a near-equivalent complete hydrocarbon itself. This applies to both synthetic and recycled materials and the requirements are reflecting that.

There is going to be some correlation to higher quality fuels burning cleaner and resulting in fewer emissions to begin with.

Looks like these researchers have gotten some really impressive numbers by focusing some incredible effort.

I think there is a parallel to the software world.

In software, no matter how hard people try to make others use freedom software or open source software, it doesn't work because most people are not going to put in the effort.

However, if there was a seamless system that was so frictionless to use that was totally freedom software, people would use it.

Similarly, I think a problem at the current stage of the world is that there is bad leaders so people will choose the least bad leader to follow, but they still will follow. So, instead we must choose to be good leaders ourselves, or find them in time such that one can easily say, just vote for that person, or let them lead the region to peace.

After that point, we can start arguing about how to make societies more anti-fragile or deeper political structures, but just like with software, you can argue all you want about freedom software, but if we are not getting there, we should focus on getting there first.

Being a politician shouldn't be a "job" and being a SaaS salesman shouldn't be either, but they are, because there is no other option. So their economies will follow.

Once you fix the leaders, there will be no more economics to follow, and the rest should fall in order.

Even in war, the people point to leaders and that group is their fight, government leaders or not. Humans like to defer thought to a higher power, a government, a person, a group, ... hence why even though there may be a lot of ideas, people assimilate into left or right and take the rest of the bandwagon with them.

But I don't think humans are stuck being this way, we can change. But before we have time to do that, we need to have a solution right now.

You must be misremembering. Southwest has an assigned boarding order, and you pick any seat when you board. It is likely that your family was scattered around because of limited available seats when you boarded. Those who fly don't fly Southwest very often aren't familiar with the check-in process and often end up in the later boarding groups. Showing up and checking in for the flight in-person typically results in a late boarding group, because most of the good boarding groups are already taken 24 hours before the flight when online check-in opens up.

A while ago my Reddit account of over 10 years (zero prior issues, bajllions of comments and karma) was randomly killed via a Kafkaesque process I'm calling "Schrodinger's Ban":

1. With zero notification or reason, you are shadow-banned, and every post/comment you ever made vanishes from public view.

2. You use the "Appeals" page, and get a canned apology that it was a mistake withtheira spam-filter, and a message claiming your account has been restored.

3. Except they lied. You're still blocked, and now the Appeals page stops working because it falsely claims your account is already in good-standing!

4. All your messages through unofficial channels (modmail) are also blocked/filtered-to-uselessness so that you can't reach out to anybody.

5. If you load up another established account, like a job-search throwaway from 5 years ago... the exact shame shitty sequence of events kills it too.
