No one has a perfect, comprehensive explanation for why so many people today are overweight and obese. I believe, and I am far from being the only one, there is a cultural component and a caloric component. Real life is not black and white, and it is more accurate to see the evolution of norms and diet as a shift in statistical distributions.

The caloric component is easy to explain. Today, it is very easy to overeat without realizing it from the point of view of hunger. A Frappuccino, or whatever they call it, can provide 1k kcal, with no impact on satiety. On the contrary, because of the combination of sugar and fat, one may feel hungrier than before when swallowing that Mocacchino.
For my grandparents, who were born before World War II, it was much more difficult to take in calories. Even if they wanted to, it was hard to overeat (for a historical overview on the availability of calories, you can read the book "Escape from Hunger and Premature Death" by Fogel).

The cultural component may seem more difficult to explain, but I think we can easily see how cultural relativism has strengthened in the last 3 or 4 decades. "Am I fat? Who cares, whatever. Haha." "Do I go out in pj for a "grocery run"? Who cares, as long as I'm comfortable."
And this is particularly evident in the United States. If you go to some of the more European parts of South America, Europe or some Asian countries, you see far fewer obese and overweight people. They could certainly gain weight from the standpoint of caloric availability, but they tend not to. Because certain cultural and religious norms are still strong, and people who gain weight are frowned upon. Although I am concerned, from a cultural point of view, about the rotundity of the current pope. Times are changing.

Third, there is an issue of self-esteem. The man or woman of the current times see themselves as unworthy, as spectators of the real life lived by other people. When they go from pants size 32 to 34 to 38 to 42, they are not shocked, they are not horrified, they are not concerned for themselves, for their families, for their ancestors, but they take it with the word that best characterizes the philosophy of our times, "Whatever." Judging was bad, but is not judging better?

The atomization of the modern human being, lonely, mistreated at work, by partners--whether true or false, and also thinking that a bit of all of us are victims and victimizers--who realizes that he or she will be forgotten the first weekend after they die, leads to having little incentive to dress "properly," to be (reasonably) athletic, strong or fit, to be virtuous. One takes more pride in the new car one has bought than in the body one has built, living "on the rebound" the lives of celebrities who ignore our existence.

But all our lives are important, especially to ourselves, and this is the first realization we should have when we start losing weight, or when we decide it is time to put the fork down.
So the second one.
If I could go back in time, I would replace fragmentation with in-flight truncation. The receiver sees the exact MTU and can communicate it back to the sender as needed.
Wow, try to change team. Is he working at the same level as you?

I only know 1 ex-coworker that was passive aggressive, and he was one of my managers, along with two other fake-friendly managers who were mostly inofensive. Luckily I wasn't the first target, and well, he targeted the most competent dev in the building, who also was a tad too honest. Didn't ended well, and by the time is axe went for my head, my product was mostly done and I was ready to go.
That's because they are obligated to express surprise or disbelief, not because they are actually surprised or skeptical. If you tell a US government worker about the contents of the Manning leaks, they will also express surprise and disbelief.
Retiring in late 50s vs. retiring at 65 (much less later) still qualifies as some years early I think. Obviously a step function difference from retiring/"retiring" in early 40s.

My points are the same neither consumers or the companies that make most of the money from mobile care about PWAs

My second point is if it just Apple and Safari holding back the adoption of PWAs, then why aren’t they more popular on Android if Chrome is so much better?

Why aren’t companies creating PWAs for Android to avoid the same 30% cut? Are they okay with paying “large sums of money” to Google?

Why aren’t they using third party app stores on Android or letting users download directly from them?

(And the HN gods are mad at me for some reason)
Had fusion power received a fraction of the funds that went to military wars over the past decade, we would be much closer indeed.

My point is that whataboutism, is probably a bad take here.
> But the purpose of Tinder is to find short term or one time hookups

You forget the part where everyone who is single looking for a short term relationship is also looking for a long term relationship with the right person, so it's a useless distinction.

That's why it's not reasonable to ask why long term relationship seekers are even on tinder. The venn diagram is one circle.

Literally all tinder like any dating app does is remove the "is it okay to ask him/her out" because being on the app is a signal it's okay. After that it is what you make of it.

Thanks for your answer! I imagined you would be using PrinceXML behind the scenes since that is probably the gold standard in HTML+CSS rendering.

The only open source alternative I know of is WeasyPrint at https://weasyprint.org/. I'm not sure how well it fares against PrinceXML, though.

And thanks for the pointer to Taffy - I didn't know it before!
I hate engineers playing lawyer, and also I do not know the IEEE definition, but acording to ISO26262 your definition is wrong: fault is undetected, error detected (but may or maynot be handled by for example resundancy) and an unhandled error that results in deviation of req. sys. behaviour is a failure.

Also note: fault can be a bug in SW, but an unexpected behaviour of the HW

I suppose recycling existing aluminium is more hazard free.
Capital M is for Mega.
I would use duration_s and duration_ms.

const duration_ms = 1000 * duration_s

And _us for microsec.

const duration_us = 1000 * duration_ms

But then the tool would probably reject my code for not following the naming conventions which ”disallows using underscores in variable names”.

Guess what I wanted to say is that there are always exceptions to the rule and there should always be some way to turn off the automatic checker for certain sections of the code.
For single window apps it makes sense that closing the window also quits the app. For apps that can have multiple windows I suppose it would make sense for the app to quit when the last window is closed, but that seems less obvious that it should, somehow. One reason: The app might open with no windows, waiting for the user to open a file or something.
When an external hire happens, they don't truly know what they'll be like unless they've already worked with them, so they could actually be of a lower quality who lucked into it
This. Good code is clean and has a well thought through internal architecture. LLM-ifying the code and treating it as a black box (if it passes the tests, it is acceptable) is tempting, but it works until it does not and the "does not" might come pretty quickly: once a human cannot easily untangle the logic the only fix is a rewrite.

I think there is a way to extend the useful life of such an approach by setting up a good architecture with lean, strict interfaces and thorough tests. Then one can treat any module that is compliant as a black box and give a computer the power to insert as much crap as it can generate. You then should be ready and willing to rewrite any box that has become so convoluted that LLM can no longer fix, likely by splitting it into smaller externally observable and testable elements.

I doubt that this is a long-term viable approach, but this is just a personal hunch. It would be interesting to see how such approaches develop. My 2c.
> Big companies can't cut corners in quite the same way as tiny shops,

Big companies have their own distinct ways, true. They have massive resources to deploy against regulation and oversight. By forestalling accountability or insuring it results in disproportionately small fines, they can insure non-compliance is strongly profitable. This satisfies the interests that matter most to a public corp, execs and investors.

> Big companies can't ... directly violate health&safety regulations, creating health risk for customers, without fear of consequences.

This is a bold declaration.
> I hope that when their brain actually fires up when they are 25 or 30, they will be nice kids who realize what their parents when through to raise them.

My wife and I never had much anger towards our parents, but whatever was there totally dissipated when we had our first child.

I wonder if many millennials will never get that realization, after having kids a decade later in life than their parents did. We had our daughter in our mid-late 20s, as we were finishing law school. By the time we had our boys 6 and 8 years later, we had a house, we’re established in our careers, etc. The parenting experience later in life was very different, and much easier—aside from less physical stamina—than it was earlier in life.
It's not just cheap, it's profitable. Social media companies profit off "engagement", no matter what the content is.
Heeding your warning, but I have to ask: how much? Like, just a little? Or cartoon throbbing cranium?
> There’s a reason China killed bitcoin mining and the US needs to follow suit.

According to this data, China tried, but failed to kill bitcoin mining. As of the last update in Jan 2022, China currently has 55% of the hashrate it had before the ban. https://ccaf.io/cbnsi/cbeci/mining_map

Also, mining is a global industry. Banning it in one country is like grabbing a fist full of water. It just oozes out elsewhere. It looks like the China ban mostly oozed into the US and Kazakhstan, before rebounding back into China. The effective reduced total energy use from the China ban barely lasted 6 months before it surpassed previous levels.

This was the result of one of the strongest authoritarian surveillance states in the world. What makes you think anyone else can do better?

Half the time copilot doesn’t even return a solution
The issue is that often you do want heavy repetition when programming. Think about a list of strings where they mostly have a common prefix. Or JSON, or a bunch of imports and exports. Good code often has these low entropy sections.
In my area we mostly use android. I run NAS. All files are went via file manager+. I know that it would still be top difficult for normie though.
How do you monitor the power consumption of your pc?
Your original post was asking how an artist can avoid his work being weaponized. That's your words that's what you. If I purchase your work I should be able to do with it what I want short of duplicating it and passing it off as my own or otherwise during a limited copyright window. But after I purchased your work you don't have any control nor should you and if I decide to weaponize it or not. That's the point you're missing your original statement is what I'm arguing against that you're not getting you don't get to exercise orwellian control over my thoughts on something I've purchased.

Because I'm not arguing for piracy as a blanket thing I'm arguing for limited copyright control but not for this idea you have in your head which is I want to prevent consumers from doing what they want with things that they purchased from you. There is no halfway point when you're trying to willfully exercise control of what someone else purchased. If you don't want someone to do with what they want with something you created and they bought from you don't sell it. But when you don't tell me what to do with it.

I know this is very difficult concept in the age of iPhone and this weird belief in intellectual property. But no one would think twice if someone decided they wanted to take a book cut up the pages and rearrange the sentences and paste them back inside that same book and then sell that book to a friend. The author might get pissed but this is settled case law that this is totally normal and allowed to do. And the author doesn't have any control over that. Somehow you seem to be arguing for the point that whatever your media is someone can't buy it cut it up repaste it back together and then redistribute that singular thing. Because they're using it in a way that you and your hubris don't like as in weaponizing it.
What is your use case? You can fit a few terabytes in the internal slots; if the additional storage were in the form of USB drives, would that be a problem?
The bar it sets is extremely high, and it has not meaningfully happened in my lifetime. It is effectively impossible.
It's difficult to believe the man was in no pain and did not seek medical care until he was involved in an automobile accident. I've hit my head a few times on cabinets and it would have sort of lobotomized this guy.
The llvm linker is a cross-linker in principle. I think it is more about the specialities that Apple needs, like code signing.
Mhmm I can see that argument being quite valid for trading stocks in general. As in, a actively trading since it inherently involves margin and leverage at one point or another, but just owning a share of a publicly owned corporation is a bit different imo.

As you said it depends on interpretation, and I think it depends but it's not as clear cut as the comment I was replying to could make it seem for others.
Supposedly not insurance fraud but perhaps it's crisis fraud or crowdfunding fraud for a tiny radio station that cannot sustain itself economically.
Sure. No solution is one size fits all. This particular solar installation happens to be in Colorado, very close to a lot of area where pumped hydro would be extremely cost effective.

Somewhere like Kansas, wind power and battery based storage may be more effective.

Here's a map of pumped storage hydro potential; note how dense the potential is throughout most of the Western US. https://maps.nrel.gov/psh

Wasn't VESA and VLB the same thing ? VLB stands AFAIK for VESA Local Bus.
Whatever your position on this, reducing things back to 21st century individualistic dating preferences and gender norms is ahistorical and shallow. The parent comment was spot on in the analogy — this isn’t about what individuals choose, it’s dynastic. A family is “the firm” and marriage in one of the primary strategic tools to advance its interests. At the very top of the pile, the Austrian Habsburg family built a 500 year imperial dynasty in Central Europe primarily from marriages. But it’s similar further down: land, property, family reputation, strategic alliances, and sometimes (but not always) individual preferences as well.
You could implement it as a generic 'application metadata' field in the IP header. From the perspective of IP, it one more length prefixed field in the IP header. Routers may interpret it in conjunction with the value of the protocol field; otherwise they are just required to leave it in unchanged in the header (including in all fragments).

For packets that don't want to use it, this is just 1 byte of overhead to set the size to 0.
There's no British ID card, and some people have no photographic identification (passport, driving licence) or don't routinely carry any. Also, voter ID fraud very rarely happens, and is detectable when it does happen - when you vote, the ask for your name and address. Voter ID was recently introduced and now many people are turned away without being able to vote - which is far more likely to change the result of an election than ID fraud.
If you look at the code for many sites with high "production value" today, 25 nested divs is about right. As a non-web-dev, I have always been surprised at how often you need to throw in a new layer of divs to get some simple visual thing to work across device sizes.
Is the mass adoption of PWAs on mobile - including Android where Chrome is suppose to be so much better - like the “year of Linux on the desktop”?

(and the HN gods don’t like me now for some unknown reason)
Is it just me or has copilot gotten progressively worse lately? It used to feel like it was making well informed guesses, now they feel like literal guesses with no context at all. For example in my phoenix live view (elixir) app it guesses “xxx@xxxxx” for _any_ attribute I pass in to a component.

> EU realizes it never learnt how to innovate, only legislate and rent-seek from our companies.

That's rich, you ought to look in the mirror. Apple and most of big tech started the "rent seeking and legislation" war by screwing over their users and developers, milking them both for every dime and their approach to so-called "innovation" is surprise - legislation. They've decided to simply ban competition from their platforms, neat!
> I don’t know what water filtration McD’s uses but I doubt it’s any different than anyone else.

I'm not sure what anyone else uses, but I worked at two McDonald's in high school and they had a big rack at the back that had water filters, shelves for the syrup BIBs, and it also had something that sounded like a compressor. I'm not sure if that was for carbonation, but I assume it was since we changed a lot of syrup bags but never once changed a CO2 tank.
Yeah serious relationships are not a 'game' and shouldn't be approached as such. Otherwise you bring very wrong incentives and mindset into interaction (relationship) that shouldn't be there if you actually seek high quality long term stable one. There are only few setups/recipes for such result, they all look very similar and this is not the way. Also if you find somebody with properly good heart and you are not pulling your weight between you both, they will eventually notice and act accordingly.

I know it sounds trivial and automatic, but I've met surprisingly few such couples. And all those questions of 'what did I do wrong' have an answer, usually quite a few (and on both sides, but its never 50:50 guilt).
And that's how we got forever stuck with those 2 and now have to build every new protocol on top of UDP.
How much of the global resource pile can you realistically consume in a year, assuming you ate and drank and traveled as much as you were physically capable of?
So that’s nothing new. Code is getting worse for decades. Moore’s law is making worse code acceptable.

In the meantime, some people write better code and do care about it and LLMs aren’t going to change that.

So there will be worse code and there will be better code as always. LLM is just a tool.
Especially because the transmitters disappeared, too. ALL the station equipment disappearing? Wonder who's got it now, or what it's been parted out to for other AM radio stations scraping together gear to keep running.

> It's "you need to ship whatever features Chrome ships at neck-breaking speed, all consequences be damned".

Given that Chrome isn't shipping ActiveX or Flash, what's the issue? Apple and Mozilla decide how (or if) they want to implement each standard. If there's no demand for the feature, it shouldn't be a problem ignoring it. If icky features like WebUSB and Bluetooth are terrible, users won't notice anyways.

I've daily-drove Firefox for close to 5 years now, but Chromium is simply better-developed in a lot of ways. It integrates better on Linux and doesn't ship with annoying adware that nags you with pop-up modals. I don't want Google's browser engine to be the best, but I don't think I'd be using Firefox today even ignoring compatibility concerns. Safari isn't even an option to me, not that I'd willingly pick WebKit anyways.

> And yes, "only works in Chrome" is a frequent enough appearance to warrant a worry.

Crocodile tears coming from an ecosystem where "only works on iOS" and "only works on Mac" is the default. Apple is not the savior of the free web, and if the openness of the internet relies on their goodwill then it is already lost.

Google's strategy is pressuring Apple to make more capable software. When a user has more freedom in a browser than they do in their hardware's native runtime, something is gravely wrong (and you can't blame the browser).
> Shouldn’t the results I get from a paid service at least be better than a bad StackOverflow suggestion that got down-voted to the bottom of the page (and which would probably come with additional comments and suggestions letting me know why it was ranked lower)?

I don't know why you would expect this, when the model is likely trained on StackOverflow material (or similar publicly available code examples).
Only if you get caught. And often times, not even then.
When are real user-generated avatars ever consistent? What kind of artificial visual goal are you chasing with this? Or is it just to make your pitch deck look pretty?

Research Study on Long Distance Relationships
Hey Community,

My friend and I are students at FIU conducting research on Long Distance Relationships (LDRs), particularly focusing on couples who have been together for more than a year before transitioning into a long-distance setup. We believe your experiences can greatly contribute to our study, so we're reaching out to gather some insights.

If you've been in a long-distance relationship, we'd appreciate your input on the following:

What was the hardest thing about staying in touch with your partner during the long-distance phase?
Why did you find it challenging?
Your responses will be invaluable in understanding the dynamics and challenges faced by couples in LDRs.

If you're willing to provide further insights, we'd love to have a brief 10-15 minute conversation with you. Please email us at roman.research33174@gmail.com or leave your email in the comments, and we'll reach out to schedule a convenient time for the discussion.

Thank you for considering participating in our study. Your input will help us gain a deeper understanding of long-distance relationships and potentially contribute to improving support systems for couples in similar situations.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
For most of human civilization, marriages _were_ mergers and acquisitions. Over the course of your married life you developed love through mutual companionship. The idea of them being primarily driven by romance and love is a very recent artifact. In many ways it's also an incomplete and somewhat inimical development, because I've observed modern couples ignore aspects of duty, responsibility, service etc. that are central to building a life together, and obsess just singularly over love or attraction.
