>A diet that promotes a healthy microbiome is going to be much more effective than supplementing lactobacilli or whatever.

This may be generally true, but there may be situations where it is significantly better to do both, if we are talking about probiotic pills. Needs more research before making definitive statements (other than the reasonable stance that careful refinement of diet should always be the starting point when possible).

Fermented foods are on another level, though. It appears that increasing consumption of fermented foods is just plain good for us as a general rule. May someday be a standard corollary to "eat your veggies" for overall health and longevity.
I had bigger problems reading the light green hyperlinks on white background. Weird, considering contrast is very reasonable otherwise.
Anything that's not the kind of plastic being described. Anything that gets people buying yet another cutting board. They're not something most people buy often so incentives have to be created. Marketing doesn't have to be so focused.

I'm not saying microplastics aren't a problem. Of course they are. I'm saying that any trend is an opportunity for sales and I'd question whether this item is the one that really makes a difference for you. The whole article is so sleazily written.
So you’re saying it’s gonna work great as RTO propaganda?
Agreed. I have a plastic cutting board that weighs about a pound. This suggests that after about 9 years of use it will literally no longer exist.
It is something that I had considered too. (For this reason, some of my shell scripts that involve curl (for sprunge and for icanhazip) have "| cat -v".)

Ideally there should be some way to cancel responses (echoback), which would avoid some of the problems; I am not sure if this can be done. Another thing I had considered is to make a "universal escape sequence" which is recognized anywhere including in the middle of something else. There are other considerations, too.

(I had considered writing a terminal emulator, and will have to consider this and other things.)

(I had also considered operating system design, where the command-line interface would work differently than this anyways.)

There are plenty of reasons to not use plastic

- microplastics (dubious impact, considering the article's weird numbers)

- bad for your knife (even porous plastic wears down a well honed blade quicker)

- harbors bacteria (wood is proven to inhibit backteria)

- "looks cheap, is cheap"
There are dozens of toolkits for authoring GUIs, which are much more complicated than the protocol we are talking about and consequently much more work, so, no I don't see why the Vim project cannot take on the work of defining a new protocol and maintaining a client that speaks the protocol.

The hairiest Emacs Lisp code I know about is the code for responding to mouse actions, e.g., clicking and dragging, and most Vim users don't even want to use a pointing device to interact with Vim IIUC. (In contrast, 80% of Emacs users who responded to a survey do not interact with Emacs through a terminal interface.)

For example, the old scripting language Tcl has its own GUI toolkit named Tk that has a pretty good reputation.

>And all things considered, it's not that bad

It seems bad enough to me to be worth re-architecting.
I believe the answer is depends, but there were some interesting discussions today under an article which relates to this.

First thing I checked as well, absolutely not. As an industry we’ve gotta get better at distributing tooling..
You have to keep your clean clothing away from your sleeping/nighttime and morning areas. Where you do spend your night time area needs heavy poisoning. Take extra things they can hide in out of this area you spend at night in.

The bedbugs will come for you and it is your duty to make sure they die when they come to you. You are the bait.

You can draw bug populations from one room to another by changing your habits but strategize poisioning along with such movements to like filter the bugs through a poisonous barrier so they all get doped.

Ozone is good for repeling and i think it wears them out possibly kills some. If an automobile had bedbugs ozone treatment with a tarp placed over the vehivle would be absolutly lovely method of treatment, and kill loads of odors from doing that btw.
I draw the line at sentience (a subjective experience) and plants don’t meet the consensus of criteria. I’m not even sure some animals like bivalves do.

Also, if your next step has to land on a dog or a patch of grass it almost sounds like you are going to say it doesn’t matter because we can’t know if the grass has a subjective experience (but we know the dog has one).

My guess: The novelty of Science Fiction from a Chinese Author, which isn't commonly translated to English, and a legitimately interesting SciFi concept. If you read the plot summary on Wikipedia, it actually sounds amazing, it's just that the books themselves don't deliver on the premise nearly as well.
Well yes and no.

That tech debt from 40 years ago was usually perfectly adequate back then. It's only tech debt now because it's become unmanageable due to changing environments, programming languages, APIs, security concerns etc.

I have worked through some of Carothers myself and like it a lot.

Are there other math books you think highly of that are similar, i.e. good for explaining why the definitions are the way they are as well as teaching the material?
I've got a Boss Design Delphi DEL/2: https://www.bossdesign.com/product/delphi - acquired 20 years ago when my then employer shut down and didn't need a boardroom any more. It's not obviously designed for computer work, as it's not terribly adjustable (seat rotates and tilts, height is adjustable, that's it), but I find it supremely comfortable.

(It also feels very solid: the mechanisms are still quiet, despite lack of maintenance, and there's very little play when I'm sat in it.)
> In the years since CALEA was passed it has been greatly expanded to include all VoIP and broadband Internet traffic.

the article makes it sound like LE is freely able to tap any VoIP call. how would that work?

i thought the usual setup for a VoIP call is SIP to ring the other party (which is partially secured), followed by ICE/STUN/TURN for the parties to find the most direct route between them, followed by the actual audio stream. do clients just not encrypt the audio stream? do carriers MITM everything downstream of that first SIP hop? (that would be inconsistent with the read-only probing suggested: “hardware taps or switch/router mirror-ports are employed to deliver copies of all of a network's data to dedicated IP probes.”).
I do believe this. I don't know what their plans are for making the mass almost uncontrollable distribution and handling infrastructure safe, but I can't believe it can ever be as safe as gas or diesel. I mean you can carry enough energy to move tons of weight for dozens of miles at high speed and up hills, in a plain open pail like water, or a milk jug, and drop it, spill it all over yourself, throw a lit cigarette right into it... And it doesn't explode or anything.

I can imagine ways to make the car tank reasonably safe in car crashes, just by making the tank good and strong and protecting it along with the passengers such that anything bad enough to hurt the tank already killed everyone anyway, and anything short of that, there could be a pretty simple mechanical auto shutoff inside the tank that seals up all the pipes from the inside and the only thing to escape will be the contents of the lines, and the lines can be thin. So I'm actually not that worried about car crashes.

But the number of infrastructure bits that all need to be mechanically sound and properly maintained and not old, bent, chewed up or worn seals, corroded, abraded, rusted, dirty with sand, ice, hit with a back hoe, ruptured from ice or tree roots, etc etc...
Paddy Cosgrave's apology (https://websummit.com/blog/apology-from-paddy-cosgrave-ceo) seemed to me to be balanced, sincere and thoughtful. Although apparently it is not enough to appease the likes of Google, Meta, Intel, Siemens who are boycotting Web Summit because of what his views on a social issue (https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/meta-google-and-stripe...).

Should public technology business leaders refrain from all opinions related to social issues, or just those that are not popular? Given the number of public figures that have expressed unconditional support for one side of an ongoing violent conflict, it appears that it is just unpopular views that are not welcome in the technology business community.
Even cooking four hundred eggs and ninety kilos of bacon for breakfast requires precisely zero cuts on a chopping board.

I often prepare my own museli, zero cuts. Pasta, zero cuts.

Snap frozen vegetables, almost always fresher and cheaper than 'fresh' vegetables, zero cuts.

If I do cook onions, course chopped, maybe 7 cuts per. Garlic, ginger, from a jar.

Who has time to make even a hundred cuts a day.

> There was a time I would have agreed abuses like these would end badly, but after seeing the effects of the Snowden and Wikileaks revelations about how nihilistic and evil our institutions can be, I doubt the reaction to these or other surveillance realities will come to much.

A lot happened in a very short time after the Snowden revelations. HTTPS became expected and Let's encrypt launched. Data providers started encrypting backbone traffic in earnest.

Countries that had long condoned US Gov surveillance - or were largely compliant/complicit - began to push back.

Did that momentum wind down? Yes.

When did it wind down? When most major news orgs lost most of their interest.

Snowden dragged the press into reporting on surveillance abuses. Eventually that pressure eased and major news orgs went back to doing what they did before - giving most surveillance abuse a pass.

And here we are.

The only way this gets better is if the press gives a crap in a meaningful way. Otherwise, invasive snooping will continue expanding into every nook+cranny of our lives.

The same way US political corruption became normalized after decades of underreporting, surveillance will become equally entrenched - and for most of the same reasons.

There are apps on iOS that do run stable diffusion like models locally on device.

I believe the Tensor chip is powerful enough to do the same but I suspect the efficiency is low enough that they don’t want to run it locally.
These examples reminded me one more issue: change in column selection, might change number of rows,
which means column addition/removal is so much riskier afair.

> Not if distinct is the default.

If that works for you, great, but let’s agree to disagree here.
This is exactly why I use them. Washing my large wooden board in the sink is a pain, and it gets stained when cutting anything like red cabbage.

So I use a plastic board whenever I need to cut anything messy or chop raw meat etc. and can just shove it into the dishwasher afterwards.

There are compressed wood boards which can be dishwashed but they're literally 10x the cost of a plastic board, so to be honest I'll probably just keep using the plastic.
Or a hacker wrote the code, overflowed the stack and inserted the code, I guess.

But note that C++ doubled down on the idea UB invalidates the whole program.

But I also disagree that UB is the problem. It simply means the ISO C standard did not define something. A compiler can still do something perfectly safe in most cases. And in fact, many can do this with the right options. Users must learn to use these features.
> and now RISC-V, both in terms of use

I'm not sure that's quite true?
You’re almost certainly consuming over 7.4g per year of way worse stuff. Dirt, insects, etc.
> The next logical question: just how bad is it for us to be ingesting microplastics? On that, the jury is still out. Yadav’s study also included a preliminary toxicity test on mouse cells (rather than live subjects) to determine the level of negative impact on biological function.

> “We did not find toxic results or effects from polyethylene on the mouse cells,” says Yadav. “But this portion of our testing was very preliminary, and not detailed.”
Now imagine if instead of those 25 pumps, each parking spot in the regular costco parking lot had a charging station. Suddenly 25 min isn't a big deal, and you "fuel" just as many, if not more cars in the same time frame as the mega large gas station, which itself could be even more charging spots.
Oh come on, this is exactly what I'm talking about. We've seen these before. The "format your hard drive" one is instead "completely fuck up your control flow and jump between functions" and it is purposefully constructed. People could have just focused on that - it was already intense enough. And you can happily get fucked up control flow with good old fashioned modular arithmetic errors.

C and C++ are both nightmare languages and the connection between UB and the as-if rule are a mess. But incorrect programs can still blast off into incredible harm without the optimizer's help. And the emphasis on UB because it is so fun to construct weird scenarios has led to a world where people make strange and ill defined demands for how the compiler should react in these situations.
Can be thrown into the dishwasher though which is the main advantage for me.
If you can start asking questions like “do we actually need a baby”, “what are the specifications for hair color and nose length”, “does it need to be a human baby”, “how about we start at an embryo instead” etc. the whole equation changes. But most people asking for the estimate aren’t actually interested in providing any of that information.

They want to give you a vaguely defined blob of half finished specifications, and expect a perfectly accurate assessment of the time it will take, and also to be able to change the vaguely defined blob as they go along without effect on the given estimate.

The article is based on data from https://robbieandrew.github.io/EV/.

You make fair points on how other variables can influence fuel consumption. However, if you look at the "Distance travelled" section there's a clear trend over the last 7-8 years of EV miles displacing ICE miles travelled. With EVs approaching 90% of sales this trend will continue, regardless of fluctuations in the variables you mention.

El Pais looks to be a Spanish paper. So this might just be different translations and they were deciding how to quote with those translations.
The MiSTer, which imo is still by far the best bang-for-buck system of it's type either on the market now, or likely to hit the market anytime soon, is still based upon the original hardware. Several peripherals and form factors have been added or updated as options, but the central processors are the same.

Software updates are a different matter entirely. The system has evolved greatly, with each year so far having resulted in an impressive list of new additions and improvements.

The cogs and wheels of the niche entrepreneur industry have been slowly turning, and the next 1 - 5 years promises several likely newer generation products. People highly invested in some of the 32- and 64- bit systems not covered by MiSTer, and or people who want more modern display options, will be very interested in those. The price projections seem to be aiming at the $500-$1000 range.

But as of today it's still hard to look past the MiSTer, as a multi-year already proven system, which has for years offered elite level 8- and 16- bit recreations, recently added an amazing Playstation 1 core, is close to adding an N64 core, and can be had right now all-inclusive starting in the $300 segment.

From my experience, using SIP to interact with the PSTN usually means your first point of entry into the PSTN also proxies the media.

> do clients just not encrypt the audio stream?

SIP encryption is very uncommon, and unless you use ZRTP (which is end-to-end), I believe any SIP server within the path mediates the key exchange and can thus capture the key or downgrade/disable the encryption.

Given the above points, a packet capture on a switch port would give you both signalling and media traffic and is most likely how SIP lawful intercept is implemented.
In addition, the 500 cuts a day seems wildly off base here doesn't it? I'm the primary cook for things that don't go directly from the freezer to the oven in my household, and I'd put my estimate at maybe 10% of that. I'm not finely dicing half a dozen large onions a day. I only use my plastic cutting board for meat, so the number is much smaller than even that.
I thought OpenCores was dead
Half Chinese family here. We chop up something almost everyday, but I don’t think we get close to 500/day. We are using manufactured bamboo cutting boards anyways, which we sometimes throw in the dishwasher if meat is involved.
