It is the literal feeling of incredible hunger. That is not a normal thing to expect people to live with. The average person does not feel constantly hungry and thus not the urge to overeat.

Most obese people became obese in childhood. In obese people, especially those from childhood that were forced to always clean their plate, signaling pathways for satiation tend to stop working, so consuming a "normal" amount of food becomes difficult. Furthermore, mechanisms for hunger in obesity function very similarly to mechanisms for cocaine or alcohol addiction.

Drugs like Ozempic finally allow their biological signals for "you've had enough food" to actually work, so obese people can lose weight because they feel satiated like normal people do.

FWIW I have lost weight both ways - 80lbs through sheer will, and 25lbs through Mounjaro. I vastly prefer the second. The former is the hardest thing I have ever done (or will likely ever do) in my life. It was harder than getting into a top college, harder than anything relating to my career, harder than literally any other endeavor I've taken. It is definitely unreasonable to expect the average person to expend so much extreme mental effort when alternatives exist to become healthy.

You're assuming someone would be running Emacs on the remote machine talking to a local X server in order to edit files on a remote machine, but people would generally not do that, but use something like TRAMP, where Emacs would be running on your local machine, but accessing remote files.

TRAMP only requires ssh or telnet (or scp, rsync, any number of other methods) on the remote machine.

> You can argue that it was a political win if the goal was defending South Korea, but militarily, it was a stalemate.

Korea was a proxy war between the US and China (i.e. Communism). The US wanted a foothold on the mainland and to put a demonstration of the virtues of Capitalist Economics in the Communists' back yard, both of which it got in the form of South Korea. If the US hadn't been involved, "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" (i.e. North Korea) would have rolled south with China's backing and "Korea" would have been a single communist country.

Without China's involvement the opposite would have happened. China was well aware of this and did not want a capitalist economy sharing a border with it -- Berlin Wall kind of problems -- so they weren't going to stop supporting North Korea.

Which is the kind of situation that makes unconditional military victory close to impossible. China just keeps giving North Korea assistance, most of the casualties are North Koreans rather than Chinese and the North Korean leadership won't surrender as long as they have China's backing because it's not a democracy so staying in power is the only thing their leaders care about. "Unconditional victory" would effectively have to be a military victory over China.

At the time the US had nuclear weapons and China didn't, but China had half a billion in population even then, and they too were a non-democracy whose leaders cared more about staying in power than dead citizens. The US could have won militarily if they were willing to kill several hundred million people. It's probably best that they weren't.

And it was largely the same for the other proxy wars. Unconditional victory would require victory over not just the nominal enemy but the ones propping them up. Hence Cold War.
Databricks has a lot of nice closed-sourced components, e.g., Unity Catalog, Delta Live Tables and Photon (a C++ implementation of Spark).

Delta itself seems fairly open-source: https://github.com/orgs/delta-io/projects/10/views/1 and hopefully someone will implement Liquid Clustering!

Emacs can edit files remote to where Emacs runs with e.g. TRAMP. Emacs can also run remote to where the X server runs. Those two are entirely orthogonal to each other.
Wat?

Are you arguing for unpaid/reverse paid internships here?

Look, people need to eat. There will always be a need for farmers. We're literally suffering from success. As far back as the 30s we were paying farmers to dump or destroy their produce to prevent racing to the bottom. The supreme court declared that was unconstitutional so they ended up just doing a ton of subsidies instead. We don't want farming to be maximally price efficient. A surplus of food is a good thing, since crops sometimes fail or disaster strikes.

Government-issued identification, which passports (US or otherwise) are, are always acceptable forms of identification. I'm not sure this is a protip.

You know what is a protip though? When applying for a US passport you can also choose to get a passport card. It's a plastic card that is the same dimensions as a driver's license and is valid for use in place of a passport when traveling between US-Canada-Mexico by land, and it's also an acceptable form of identification in general because it's a government-issued identification.

To be honest I think you were the one originally off base here. If someone doesn't answer the question to your satisfaction then it would be more effective for you to rephrase the question rather than telling that person that they answered wrongly. The original author of the software has also failed to answer the question to your satisfaction, which is further evidence that it could have been phrased more clearly.

I always thought R was a vestigial artifact of the bad old days of computing that had no place in the Real World (tm), but then I had to use it for a graduate-level data analytics course for business students.

And then it all made sense. Non-coders equate R with RStudio to the point that they don't really get that R and its editor were separate concepts, and therein lies the power.

Everybody uses the same IDE and it always works. No more figuring out why the language server isn't offering completions or wondering why ESS has such awful defaults.

R (and the tight integration with RStudio) makes it very easy for non-programmer types to conduct their own sophisticated exploratory analysis and to produce good looking plots without mucking about in Excel.

I still hate the `<-` assignment operator though.

No, not really. This is what is regularly done in the press in Germany, and it looks like essentially like this:

there was (an earthquake + tsunami) AND A NUCLEAR ACCIDENT IN FUKUSHIMA IN WHICH 15000 PEOPLE DIED.

Now this is technically not a lie, just a "slight" skewing of emphasis and grouping, but it's how we've managed to anchor in the German population the "fact" that there was a horrible nuclear catastrophe in Fukushima where tens of thousands died, which we think was caused by a Tsunami or something, but that part doesn't really matter.

When, to belabor the obvious, that is not at all what happened. The Tsunami killed over 15000. The accident at the plant caused by the Tsunami killed no one. The over-eager evacuation, on the other hand, has been made responsible for a number of deaths.

So of course, technically it is true that there was a natural disaster and also a nuclear accident caused by that natural disaster. A lot of accidents were caused by the natural disaster that day, so singling out just that one seems a bit weird. And yes, the natural disaster was made slightly worse by every piece of technical infrastructure that failed to withstand this unprecedented earthquake + tsunami. For example all the seawalls built around towns that were, like the one around the plant, built to handle 7M waves. And were swept away by 14m waves that proceeded to kill thousands.

The way we do things is that we build everything in the cloud and store in a central container registry. So if I trigger a build during dev, the CI runner can re-use that, e.g. if it’s needed before running a test or creating a preview env.

Similarly if another dev (or a CI runner) triggers a build of one of our services, I won’t have to next time I start my dev environment. And because it’s built in the cloud there’s no “works on my machine”.

Same applies to tests actually. They run in the cloud in an independent and trusted environment and the results are cached and stored centrally.

Garden knows all the files and config that belong to a given test suite. So the very first CI run may run tests for service A, service B, and service C. I then write code that only changes service B, open a PR and only the relevant tests get run in CI.

And because it’s all in prod-like environments, I can run integ and e2e tests from my laptop as I code, instead of only having that set up for CI.

It's bizarre to now see it described this way.
Last month I upgraded from an M1 Pro to an M3 Pro - 16GB RAM, 512 GB. Here is an honest review of my experience. The chassis of both the machines are exactly the same. The bad thing about that is the newer MacBooks come with a matte finish for the keyboard and the finish wears off like in just 3 weeks even with proper care. As a matter of fact, in the newer machine, I used ISP 70% with water to wipe it off after each use thinking it was due to grease/oil from the fingers. However the finish still wore off, suggesting that it has more to do with the finish itself.

With that out of the way, I maintain a very large site with over 50,000 posts in a static site setup. It is built on a Phoenix/Elixir setup I wrote from scratch and has been serving my client well without hiccups for the last 5 years. From time to time, some of the writers may mess up something and they would want us to run a sweep occasionally - back track to the last X number of posts and re-publish them. Usually about 100-500 posts which covers a few weeks/months worth of posts depending on the run.

So, for a 100 post sweep, the M3 pro was slightly faster, by an order of magnitude of over 1.5x. But, for other everyday tasks, like say opening Affinity Designer/Photo and editing files, I didn't notice much improvements. And Apple's website is notoriously deceptive about the improvements. Their graphs always showcase comparisons with a top specc'ed M3 machine with a base M1 variant or M2 which makes no sense to me as a developer. Disk (SSD) speeds were slightly slower on the M3 than on my old M1 variant. But, I am unable to attribute it to the processor as it could be a bad driver or software version. For those interested, it is one of those internal Samsung SSDs connected via a SATA-USBC converter.

Long story short, if you are on M2 - Not worth upgrading. If you are on an M1 or M1 Pro, you can still hold on to it a bit longer, the only reason you would want to upgrade is if you got a good deal like me. I sold my 21' M1 Pro for almost $1800 US (it still had Apple care) and got a student discount (I'm in the middle of some certification programs) on the new M3 Pro, so I got it. If I didn't have these financial incentives, probably wouldn't have been worth upgrading. Hope this helps someone.

I have seen people gain weight just to push themselves over the edge to get the drug. Once they are on it, they more a quickly reach their goal weight than they would have otherwise.

Others will simply lie about their weight to their primary care, increasing it slightly to match the BMI bar.

Finally, some people will get the drug from compound pharmacies.

TL;DR - yes, it probably impacts premiums, but insurance companies are somewhat evil for attaching so many restrictions around a drug that every overweight person should have free access to.

It is frankly ridiculous that these companies have the power to get between a doctor and patient, and what the doctor deems medically necessary.

This "like standard protocol/format X, but strangely invalid" is a thing I've seen many times.

I speculate that one of the ways this happens is that someone decides or is told to use format Foo. Then they and possible collaborators implement both the writer and the reader for their idea of Foo from scratch, never testing with an off-the-shelf standard parser.

You'd think that doing XML like this is unlikely, given how easily available correct and validating parsers have been. But I've nevertheless seen this with XML too. I speculate that sometimes the programmer is on a platform that doesn't have an easily available off-the-shelf parser/writer, or they simply don't know about it.

I've also seen a variation of this, in half-butted "integrations", like to have a sales check-off feature of "we can generate X". These are sometimes tested only lightly, and sometimes not at all (such as when they don't have access to the tool that uses that format, and they were just working from poor documentation or an example). It's a thing.

The concept of these new age banks is nice. But I really think they haven't pushed it all the way yet.
For example, Revolut has one-time-use credit cards. Even thinking about the possible features, there is a lot more that could be done. One time use with a predetermined amount (to be used like a gift card), in fact make every transaction a new credit card. An abstraction over the visa and mastercard networks. Also really actually good bookkeeping like with e.g. gnucash. I really feel there is a space for a hacker- and privacy-friendly new age bank product.

> The U.S. "won" Korea, Iraq, Vietnam, and Afghanistan in the same sense that they "won" WW2 - those countries were bombed back into the stone age and the existing governments fell

The US isn't conventionally, even in the US. viewed as the victor in Korea (war is still in progress, with a long but imperfectly observed ceasefire), Vietnam (one of the few wars the US generally acknowledges as an unambiguous defeat, thought right wingers will often say that we won “militarily” and lost “politically” or some other cope), or Afghanistan (recently added to the list alongside Vietnam).

Also, the prewar opposing in Korea, Vietnam. Iraq (1991), and Afghanistan did not fall, and in each case remained in power after the war (and in Vietnam and Afghanistan, the primary opposing government ended up in control of more territory as a result of the war, controlling undivided a country which it had controlled only a divided—formally in Vietnam’s case, de facto for the Taliban in Afghanistan—fraction of before the war.)

> With all the post-WW2 wars, we've gone in as a dominant power, as the aggressor

No, we haven't. Not even in a loose sense of “aggressor” in several of them.

What is "this"?

In 1967, the IDF was spoiling for a fight, and was extremely confident that it would defeat the Arab armies quickly and with low losses. It had planned and trained for a first strike on Egypt, which is what it ended up executing.
Regulation and tax are big ones. The ElecLink UK/France interconnector was significantly delayed due to disagreements in how it should be regulated and taxed. Similarly, things like the EU Carbon Border Adjustment mechanism have the potential to make it unprofitable to import electricity into the EU without affecting exports (because even significant price discrepancies would be swallowed up by the additional carbon tax which might be imposed). (In the case of the UK the EU will likely agree to waive the carbon tax but it's not certain even there).

I understand that, the market is trying to deal with an inefficiency in the system. What I don't understand is how removing those inefficiencies will lead to higher prices. If anything it should do the opposite.

It depends on the kind of "up-to-datism", at least for me. Security - yes. Features - for docker yes, the rest not really.
