I'm not a fan of SL, but from what I recall, it's not true that you are starting ultra heavy on day one. If I remember correctly, you're actually starting with the bar (except for deadlifts).

The bigger problem, IMO, with SL is that when you fail, and of course you will, there's nothing to help you break through it.
I have done that, otherwise it wouldn't have worked the first time.

Further, whole-body resistance exercise increased oxidative damage. For example, resistance exercise at a 10-repetition maximum load increases the MDA level in the blood [19]. Furthermore, local resistance exercise, which is a single type of resistance training in a specific muscle group, can increase oxidative damage.
As a software engineer in the UK I'm very much in the same bubble. It's almost unreal to me how much Windows has managed to enshittify. It's hard to know at what point (if ever) they'll turn the ship around and make an OS that's actually pleasant to use. I'm guessing there are basically no economic incentives to do so.

I've personally moved to an entirely MacBook based workflow where I have a dock on my table and plug in either my work or personal MBP depending on what I'm doing.
Linux started out as a hobby project that widened the schism in the Unix world. Yet things turned out fine
Using a static code analyzer, as well as adoption of Rust (which reduces the need for a static code analyzer) - squarely fit in the correctness camp, no?

Note: I'm not a Rust fanboy. But it just seems like Rust aligns very well with OpenBSD core principles.
> Cardio isn't super important if you are already doing Resistance Training.

I'm a bit of a gym rat, mostly lifting though also some bodyweight/calisthenics.

I don't really do cardio.

I was concerned about it, so talked to my doc.

He said "you're lifting for an hour a few times a week. Your heart rate spikes when you're doing heavy lifts, right?"

"Yes".

He replied, "you're fine".

To test the theory, I got into the pool without having done any cardio at all in years. I had no trouble swimming 500 yards straight.

I wouldn't characterize my cardio capability as great, but it's moderate and good enough.
>1.2GB or more of memory usage at idle when most of the KDE distros I tried, even the Ubuntu based ones like Kubuntu, go around 700MB. Plus it just feels sluggish and slow on not so modern machines.

Isn't this irrelevant nowadays? Don't the OS's consume/free memory dynamically, and idle usage is meaningless?

Sure, PopOS isn't the best choice for your Raspberry Pi, but we are talking about desktop computing, where 1.2GB of RAM is nothing.
Demystify semi-structured data.
Arch being popular among desktop distros is believable. It also aligns well with the existence of ArchWiki and EndeavourOS (easy to install Arch derivative).
This hasn't been true for a while now. Many games have Linux builds, and for those that don't, Steam Proton works incredibly smoothly, and is integrated with the most popular game launcher, Steam. For the most part all you have to do to play games on linux now is click the checkbox to opt into Proton, and then click play.

The biggest remaining issue is anticheats for some competitive games
A lot of things have sold me on the value of weight training for size and strength, but watching my parents decline physically has been the biggest. I don't think they understood how close they were to losing the ability to enjoy specific activities.

They thought of weight training as kind of a meathead thing, something you do to belong to a meathead tribe, and they couldn't see why I would do it since 1) they raised me to value intellect over physicality, and 2) there's no way I could ever enjoy the benefits of being perceived as a meathead, since our genetics didn't allow for it.

My efforts to get them to see it as a practical means for improving their lives went nowhere, until my mom realized she was having trouble stepping up onto curbs. Now she works with a trainer once a week, and she's thinking doing it twice a week since once isn't killing her. Better late than never.
Microsoft still wins in the end, they don't care if UNIX has won the server room, provided they still get the money for Azure OS, or Azure Sphere OS.

Looking at their earnings, it is going pretty well.
I started working out after a break up, so I could pick things up quickly again; I only did it for 6 months thinking about that, enough to get somewhat lean (I wasn’t obese).

To be honest, I’ve been doing it for 6 years (38M) and I only do it for health reasons. Sex, daily activities, I can do whatever just fine and usually with better performance. I don’t go pushing myself to the max, dead lifting Earth; just enough to (if I can) force myself a bit more and to keep me in shape and keep this strength that has helped me so much already. I don’t do no preaching, nor do I want to be in a strength competition, nor do I do it for attracting partners.

Good things come easier when you feel better yourself (confidence) and you can actually back some of those things up.
I think pinning a dependency against a version identifier and a digest of a tarball is a great way to ensure reproducibility.

You’re controlling which dependency you’re using very specifically.

Reproducibility like this protects against supply chain attacks.

This may be a bit contrived, but It could prevent a malicious package maintainer from releasing a modified version of OpenSSL that you depend on without you noticing that change in your dependencies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Chasm

> with a particular focus on the "chasm" or adoption gap that lies between early and mainstream markets.

> The author argues there is a chasm between the early adopters of the product (the technology enthusiasts and visionaries) and the early majority (the pragmatists)

Early adopters are a small minority, it's hard to give exact numbers but 5% sounds about right.

It's MUCH harder to get the pragmatists, late adopters, etc to use a new product. It generally requires a revolutionary product or brilliant PR and marketing (Linux doesn't really have PR and marketing and revolutionary would be a strong term for a product that's been in the market 30+ years).
I didn't know Firecracker existed, that's really awesome. Looks to be in Rust as well. I'll have to look at how this differs from the approach that Docker uses, my understanding is that Docker uses cgroups and some other built-in Linux features.
> This tension can only be relieved by de jure integrating Taiwan in Chinese statehood under very huge degrees of autonomy

You mean like the huge degrees of autonomy Hong Kong enjoys? That seems like such a huge strategic blunder by Xi. Instead of making it a positive example for Taiwan to follow, they made it a strong deterrent to a peaceful integration.

> which has no support internationally

It has no support internationally, because to get that support, you first need to declare sovereignty.
I exercise to maintain healthspan and keep fit, but I am by no means "fit" by the standards of people who are fit. I've seen what strong looks like (I'm not very big, at the oly gym I used to frequent I saw someone my height and weight bench > 3 plates at a meet), I've seen what performance endurance in a run, cycle, and swim looks like, and I've also seen what the vast majority of people at my office are like.

The author has some great reasons to grow and keep big muscles, but I have some thoughts to add for that "majority of people at the office" crowd.

Thought #1: there is one item that the author mentions that I think is absolutely critical yet buried all the way at the bottom.

> If you’re over 30 (or even in your 20s and able to afford it), hire a personal trainer to start. They can check your form and avoid any kind of injuries. With weights, it is really easy to get a bad form, no matter how many youtube videos you watch. I went to see a Physiotherapist 4 years after I started squats, and this is the best thing I’ve ever done. She retaught me everything I think I knew about squatting.

I cannot over-emphasise how important it is to focus on form so you avoid injuries. When you're older, hurting yourself will knock you off the exercise horse for years. Also, note that if you're in your 30s and have been mostly sedentary your adult life, the squat and deadlift may not even be movements that you have the range of motion to do.

Don't fall into the trap of pushing yourself because the program said so or the internet said so or because you feel inadequate next to the huge gains that people are showing off on the internet. There is absolutely no shame in taking things slower. Remember your goal is not to look good naked on the beach next summer, it is to maintain healthspan into your 70s.

Thought #2: cardio is important, the author's warning about "too much cardio because your joints will give out and you will lose muscle" is really odd and feels like I'm browsing /r/fitness in 2010. If you're very concerned about your joints, do something lower impact, like swim or cycle or row or the elliptical.

But do take your rest days.

Thought #3: stronglifts 5x5 is great if you're in your 20s or your early 30s. If you're older than that, well, you can still do it but please be careful. See thought #1 above.
Though this always created/merged a horizontal split once characters were separated/close enough, while the modern games rotate the angle of the split based on the relative positions of the characters to each other.
Paralegals and NPs are similar in this regard in about half the country.

NPs can independently practice - to some extent - in the other half.

(You'll find a lot of paralegals coming very close to practical indepdendent practice, though. Supervision can be quite theoretical.)
Sure you can. As long as you follow the terms of the MIT license. That effectively nullifies the value of slapping the GPL on it, but you can do it.

RISC-V is a modern load-store ISA. Is is very clean, much more than the mess of x86_64 for instance. It is actually better to write RISC-V than x86_64, even if the later is CISC.
Strength training isn't the same as chronic distress though. Activity that uses muscles above current baseline leads to inflammation, which leads to hypertrophy and growth, which results in downregulation of inflammatory markers in the long term. The body upregulates anti-oxidant species in response to normal increases in oxidative stress. Yes, acute/extreme spikes in ROS generation is bad, but that's not what actually occurs in regular exercise.

Tomes of papers support the connection between physical activity, reduced inflammation markers, and decreased all-cause mortality.

Maybe you should actually take some courses in molecular biology, instead of googling some very basic high-level articles and over-generalizing to support your misguided point.
All of the gamers use windows. All of the office workers use windows. All of the medical equipment that need a PC, run on windows. In manufacturing all the pcs run windows.

So 72% is probably an underestimation.

Nurse practitioners have as much, if not more, education than attorneys. And they still need to work within the regulations of our system.

I get what you are trying to communicate - maybe we are over-regulated... yet any time your professional work has the potential to harm your customer if done incorrectly, I don't think having some educational requirements are unreasonable.
I don't want to abuse whataboutism, but you're aware that besides actively engaging in multiple wars and international military actions we also support Ukrainian war effort directly right?

You're suffering of the usual American exceptionalism, where US is allowed to overthrow governments at will, conduct military actions, decide to support whatever side (sometimes arming both), but other countries cannot.

Just to point out, I obviously condone the military actions in Ukraine (especially since I am a Pole of Ukrainian descent), but I obviously also condoned overthrowing Libyan government or the Iraqi military intervention too and many other despicable actions our governments have conducted in the last decades.
Principally the direct payments. Farmers in the EU get a certain amount of money for every hectare of land they farm. This accounts for 40% of all CAP payments, and disproportionately benefits large farms, as they not only get much more money but also benefit from economies of scale.

Adding to that, compulsory environmental regulations are quite lax, while voluntary environmental measures are often poorly recompensed, and are thus economically not viable.

See here for some further reading: https://doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10080 (There's lots more, but this should be a good starting point.)
It's honestly sad to watch. Google has the talent and research to be smoking everyone in this space, but it seems like they have zero product or marketing leadership/vision. For years they've been shipping half baked products built on killer tech that are destined to fail.
Fake citations from ChatGPT generated motions has come up a few times, mentioned here. This highlights how AI is misused. It should be used to enhance human work not to replace it. Example: if AI allows a lawyer to effective write 10 motions a week instead of 2, that's a win. The human is still responsible for those motions. If they include fake case citations, that's on the lawyer, not the AI.

But people want to use AI to replace that lawyer, taking them out of the loop completely.

Every fake citations should be on the lawyer who submitted it. That'll end this real quick.

> “Judges, for example, measure the sincerity of a defendant’s allocution at sentencing,” Roberts wrote Sunday. “Nuance matters: Much can turn on a shaking hand, a quivering voice, a change of inflection, a bead of sweat, a moment’s hesitation, a fleeting break in eye contact. And most people still trust humans more than machines to perceive and draw the right inferences from these clues.”

Removing judges from this may well be a good thing. This allows a lot of bias to seep in to the process. Judges have been caught giving vastly different sentences to similar cases where the only real differences were race, gender and background (eg [1]). An extreme example is Brock Turner [2]. That judge should've been impeached.

The monolithic/module thing was imposed by the subjects at my school (since it started as a school project).

However, a part of me is feeling like it could make sense to do a big refactor to turn all of this into a micro kernel. However I am not willing to do this until I have a plan to make it right.

By the way, the 32 bits thing too was imposed by the school. I am now wondering if it still relevant to support it and just support 64 bits only...
See: people working out even when injured, people who exercise to be as thin as possible. People doing steroids and other drugs for performance or appearance. These are edge cases.

They exist, and endorphins are using the addiction biological framework.

Regardless, exercise people.
> Today's regulatory landscape operates not by prohibiting things (which would be open to legal and social challenges), but by making compliance prohibitively expensive, or outright impossible.

This is a weird view and absolutely inapplicable to most things. It's basically a fantasy pushed by some politicians to get votes.

The form is just out of date.
> I don't care what others use so long as it doesn't impact me.

It does impact you regarding the depth of hardware support, for example.
You can still move aside if you want to. The difference is the choice is yours.

I wonder if smartphone usage has any influence in this. I would guess a lot more "casual" internet users use their phone to browse the internet. And maybe more .. eh, lets call them "advanced" users are part of the desktop share?
Do they? It's easy enough to 'give' any API accessible to the console to the page by setting a variable from the page to point to a console-only accessible function.

Given there aren't many sites that say "just open the console and paste this command to win the big prize", I suspect that any console-only API's aren't very powerful if they exist at all.
I don't think the metaphor applies because kitchen utensils' forms are dictated are their purpose, but software interfaces are abstractions.

A fairer analogy would be if everything in the kitchen was bowl-shaped, but you could do bowl-like actions and get non-bowl behavior. Drop the carrot in the peelbowl and it is peeled, drop the carrot in the knifebowl and it is diced, drop the cubes in the stovebowl and they are cooked. Every manipulation is placing things in bowls. Every bowl is the same shape which means you can store them however is intuitive to you (instead of by shape).
It depends what the costs and benefits are - if in pure money then yes both sides poorer.

But if you take into account social and other freedoms boosting China (and Russia) does not help the average Westerner as their freedoms would tend to reduce to mach China.

Linux wasn't GPL until 0.12. Less than a year after the first release. Not sure what exactly is meant by "happened" here so maybe it fits or maybe not.
What programs do you like for hypertrophy? At this point I'm mostly interested in that, I mostly need functional strength.

The existence of Linux and the abusive practices of Microsoft are a kind of daily reminder about why competition is so important even for basic, fundamental technologies like operational systems.

If Linux weren't always behind the door threatening Windows, surely we would have today as the only option a hiper restricted OS with a terrible performance, a huge pice tag and horrible terms of use(well... this is already the case).

It doesn't need to be secret, just obscure. Don't believe the intelligence agencies are always intelligent or always there to help you or their host countries. Shin bet and their mishandling of Rabin and the recent October attacks prove this, as well as the CIA's pointless declassified wastes of money, often against American interests.

the file is inconsequential. it could be any other universal abstraction, e.g. HTTP POST.

it's just something that every program running on a computer knows how to do, so why bother with special APIs you have to link against if you can just write to a file? (note you can still develop those layers if you wish, but you can also write a device driver in sh if you wish, because why not?)

The Adventures of Cookie & Cream had dynamic splitscreen based on progress through the level, and that was released in 2000.

Plus I believe there was an (uncommon?) feature where two players could share a single controller to control each character (two shoulder buttons and an analog stick).

(Even with an Action Replay I remember that game being frustrating as hell.)
The crazy thing is, at least at every gym I've ever been at, that's the farthest thing from the truth when it comes to serious lifters.

They've all been, almost to a person, incredibly welcoming and eager to help. It's more often the casual exercisers that are a problem, if anything.
I presume you have not experienced being an academic in recent years and having to deal with the expectation to sell your research on "Scientific Outreach Twitter". Now, technically neither have I, but I've worked alongside scientists for a couple of years who do.

Yes, it's kind of sad, but I feel more empathy for situation the author is in that leads to it. The actual papers themselves seem pretty solid from a surface reading as a non-expert, at least in terms of having clear explanations and easily verifiable results.
> Although initial investigations reported the negative effect of ROS, recent studies have shown that exercise-induced ROS can upregulate several enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants in the biological system [7, 8], and exercise could be an optimizer of ROS in negating oxidative damage in the cells, while ROS can regulate signaling or act as a signaling molecule to muscular adaption.

The ARM Macs are actually quite decent for less demanding games, even when running under Intel emulation. FWIW I started to play a couple of strategy games on my Mac over the holidays because I was away from my gaming PC and only had my Mac available.
Yes, the illustration is incorrect, and does not match the code's evict function, which only moves the hand after marking the current object "unvisited".

From the initial state, with the hand pointing to A(visited), when the request for H comes in, A is marked unvisited before moving the hand.

When the hand is pointing to D(visited) and the request for I comes in, it should mark D unvisited before moving the hand. This "feels wrong" because D had just barely been marked visited, but it is an implication of the SIEVE algorithm.

It's generally a red flag when a "better, simpler" algorithm is explained with a faulty illustration, suggesting the author overlooked or misunderstood the implications of the algorithm.
