>Likewise, a prospective study among patients with stage III CRC found that consuming more than 4 cups/d of coffee was associated with improved disease-free survival compared with non-coffee drinkers.

Again, in these studies there seems to be no standardization of what defines the size of a cup of cofee.

In Italy, according to my Bialetti Mokka Pot, a "cup" means a coffee the size of a cumshot, but is intense and concentrated AF, while in the Land of the Free™, a coffee you see people walk with in their hands can be the size of a big-gulp but is just watered down plunk with milk and sugar.

Then comes the other questions. What is the extraction in each cup? What is the caffeine content? Won't the caffeine from 4 cups/day mess with your sleep enough to offset the benefits?

As your examples indicate, one reason it's a bad production metric is that it's a reasonable measure of the burden carried by the maintainers of the codebase. The production metric point of view classifies code as an asset. It's closer to the truth to view the functionality as an asset, and the code itself as a liability.

Handy.
FWIW, a USB DVD or Blu-Ray drive can be had for a very reasonable price, and MakeMKV is pretty straightforward and works pretty much perfectly on the big three OS's (Windows, Mac, Linux). If you're afraid of the DVDs breaking, it's not necessarily a bad idea to just keeping a digital backup somewhere.

Of course, if you're not careful you end up like me having spent multiple thousands on disks and servers and data tape backups, so be less dumb than me.

They’re certainly not cheap not sure I’d call them unaffordable though. I’ve had 2 root canals in the last few years and they were probably $200-400 a pop with insurance. I’ve also had an extraction, bone graft, and implant and that was probably a few grand.

You are not answering my question. No, you ask your acquaintances who work in law, finance or medicine. Neither does academia have any "stand up". What specific needs do CRUD software projects have that are met by infantilizing daily status reports? What needs for daily status reports do these projects have that the Linux kernel doesn't?
This seems like a pretty silly take.

The sun's variation in intensity over the solar cycle has a typical 0.2C difference... and even then, 5 years later you get the 0.2C "back".

If you're saying "another Maunder Minimum":

- There is no consensus that is going to happen; or even a majority view that it will.

- It sure doesn't look like the Maunder minimum caused significant cooling overall (perhaps at most 0.4C, so not much more than a normal solar cycle). Yes, Europe's temperatures swung more than this.
Maybe that's why so few companies market to developers at all?

I almost always hate it when people give the following advice because it’s almost always given too freely, but:

That’s like a Petri dish for growing imposter syndrome.

Devaluation of the unit of account is the main factor behind the confusing signals.

If the thing you're measuring value with halves in value, all the measured values will double.

If we take the dollar as an example, there's around twice as many dollars in existence as there were 10 years ago, halving the value it would otherwise be, and so doubling all the dollar-denominated figures.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/money-supply-m2

There's certainly nothing healthy about doubling the money supply - this means that there is double the total debt (the mechanism by which new monetary units are created) - but it will cause figures like GDP, share prices and even wages to a degree to increase, even though they haven't gone up in actual value (in the case of wages they've gone down in value)
It was the same 10+ years ago. Doors weren't locked though.

I don't recall who first relayed this to me but I believe the answer to the
question in the title is "path dependence". Modern (US) health insurance
started off as hospitalization insurance and was originated by hospitals
themselves. It covered hospital procedures such as surgery etc.

We should note that dentists and opthomalogists do not typically operate from
a hospital setting, at least not in the early (1920-1950) era.

Over time it was spun out of hospitals and extended to more medical
procedures. The tax advantage of having employers pay for coverage began to
dominate the market and has led to the current state of the medical
marketplace. But the original dichotomy remains. "Health" insurance covers
things that doctors do, and mostly those things that happen in hospital
settings.

There is an interesting article [1] that has some of the history of group
health coverage which I found just now.

Brazil also has an interesting relationship with teeth.

There is always a first entity to start any market and always a last one to exit it. So technically it happens thousand of times per day. Surely it’s not illegal. I could decide to sell a completely useless crocodile-alike decorative robot companion for programmers that includes a powerful GPU that finetune your toy language model of choice or mine crypto when the GPU is not used as a robot. It would be silly, and I’d never actually do it, but surely the FCC or justice department wouldn’t have a problem with it.

Between the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, there were the Four Cleanups, which are even less remembered, probably because they mostly affected the countryside and didn't hit urban citizens as hard as the Cultural Revolution did.

From Huang Shu-min's The Spiral Road:

We decided to attack the five bad elements first, to set an example for the villagers and to intimidate anyone who dared to challenge our authority. Members of the five bad elements were brought up to the podium and forced to kneel down facing the crowd. There was a middle-aged woman among the bad elements. The high-level cadre from the prefecture signaled a poor peasant to come and asked him at close earshot: 'Is that a "landlord's wife" (dizhupo)?' The poor peasant answered: 'Yes, cadre,' went up to that woman, and pressed her head down to the floor throughout the struggle session. At the end of the meeting the high-level cadre asked this poor peasant, 'Why did you force that woman's head down for so long? I thought that this campaign was supposed to avoid unnecessary physical abuse.' The poor peasant answered: 'But, cadre, I thought you had given me the order to force her "head down" (dizhetou)!'
Google and the companies that litter the results page only have themselves to blame. When I was trying to find some boiler plate for pulling something from AWS parameter store I got total nonsense docs that weren't even what I wanted but it was mostly AWS docs or online tech diploma mill nonsense.

I’ve been in crypto since 2010 and HN hasn’t predicted anything. At least with AI the congnoscenti here is on board. With crypto / blockchain the current plan is to pretend it doesn’t exist and never speak of it, as the industry never imploded as was long predicted.
Sabbath includes letting land rest every seven years and forgiving debts every seven years (literally a write-off) so, yes, I think this "write-off principle" with a cute name is the same as the old Sabbath concept.

It does bring up the point that the long history shows us that in this case the spirit of the law is more important than the letter of the law because people push the boundaries of the rules.

They actually do define this in the study, section 2.2 Assessment of coffee consumption.
School administrators have an obsession with controlling (and spying on) students that borders on sadism. I'm convinced they get off - either nonsexually or sexually - on controlling hundreds of kids. It's a god complex.

I used to spend time on a subreddit dedicated to edu IT administration, hoping to learn more about MDM and such. Instead, what I learned is that administrators are extremely fixated on spying on and limiting student online activity. That subreddit is now private, because people kept confronting them about it.

If you have a kid: have a sit-down talk with them and tell them they can come to you with anything, no matter what - but to never mention anything illegal or mental-health related on any school-related accounts, devices owned by the school, or devices they've been forced to install an app on or install an MDM profile, etc.

Schools are particularly paranoid about self-harm and a huge list of keywords and phrases will earn your kid an immediate trip to the administrator's office where they will be grilled. Where they'll learn that what they thought was private was actually being monitored, closely.

Because of course, that's exactly what you should do to someone who might be suicidal or otherwise having mental health issues. Humiliate them by revealing that what they had intended to be private is now known to half a dozen or more people they don't know or trust, etc. Yeah. /s

It's all about ass-covering to protect their careers, not student health or safety.
>neonazi and antisemitic are very much not the same

The title refers to antisemitic content and the article talks about a neonazi. The article is clearly linking the two. Not to mention, every neonazi is antisemitic. Throughout the article it switches between antisemitism and neonazism. You are just being pedantic.

>they have been changed to aid a neo nazi (or whatever that person is)

Perhaps, but it is the correct move so long as it is applied consistently.

I would say a neonazi getting doxed is also quite dangerous since the phrase punch a Nazi is quite accepted. I don't recall the last time initiating an attack was considered a good thing. If the phrase, punch a black person was considered to be a moral imperative then Twitter changing their policies if a black person was doxed would be a good thing.

[I'm not trying to say Nazis and blacks are equivalent, I'm just using an example to show protecting a person who quite possibly is going to attacked is good]

>It doesn't say "in an antisemitic move, Twitter changes policy", nor "Twitter changes policy to benefit neonazis". It just asserts that this policy was created in order to benefit this one neonazi, which seems to have been exactly the case.

For all intents and purposes ot says the policy is to benefit neonazis even if it doesn't use the exact phrase.

Here is an example:

>The policy change added to what some X users and critics have said is a growing list of examples of Musk going out of his way to defend neo-Nazis, antisemites and white supremacists.
There’s a flip side to this. If you change the UI for no reason, people get upset. For example, the latest iOS update flipped the speaker and mute buttons during a call. Why? No improvement was made, it’s just frustrating.
That sounds very useful. I wonder if that might be more in the wheel house of a search engine like the folks at Kagi? I'm trying to think of what is the closest thing to this that exists.
I've been using both ChatGPT and Gemini for months as my primary question-seeking-response portals. I find Gemini to provide more relevant and recent responses while ChatGPT provides slightly more thorough code guidance. For me, LLMs are a shortcut to researching information where I am hoping to find one or two sources which answer the majority of my questions. Now, I can chat and reason through my questions in one thread without navigating to other sources. The biggest pitfall is surfacing differing perspectives but I think that is solvable.

Kanopy is great, and very nearly as good as the mainstream streaming platforms in terms of selection and software quality.

Hoopla, however, is abysmal both in selection (though this depends on your local library) and in software/service quality. The search is broken, and it has some of the most confusing UX I've ever experienced. It's as if it actively wants to prevent you from watching anything.
Some day scientists are going to figure out why kids that commit crimes cease to urinate and excrete, but for now it's just a super lucky coincidence.
The way GP worded it is a bit confusing and ambiguous but it doesn't seem like they typed the same question into both, rather they typed what they thought each wanted to know about the same question. In one sentence they say they typed an exact quote into Google but in the very next sentence they clarify they actually typed a bunch of keywords about that quote instead.
Large established companies cannot meaningfully change their UI without alienating all of their legacy customers.

It’s interesting how time have changed but we can still do the same things (not hunt whales legally, however). From the article it seems like certain establishments wanted a cleaner image and would ban prostitution - so it was still a gray area morally back then.

People still hunt.

key questions for me:

No, clearly means zig. Writing 30, 40, 50 or 60 zig programs to solve the problem.
This is such an awful, biased, diatribe that it goes off the rails pretty quickly. The "journalist" who wrote it is the nerd "raging" against something they don't seem to technically understand.
The article was good and I was happy to learn about Arrow Video, which reminds me a lot of Limited Run Games.

I will say there is a big downside of physical media that has to be mentioned: the physical space. In my apartment it really makes the whole thing a bit of a non-starter unless I’m willing to discard jackets and put discs into soft binders like my old CD setup that I had in my 1999 Civic.

That issue can be made worse if you’re just not the type of person to watch and rewatch content over and over. That’s where streaming shines: I’m sure to some people, the fact that content rotates in and out isn’t that much of a downside. They just want to watch “whatever is on.”

I am also not a big fan of how much ripping and data hoarding becomes a hobby. In terms of the fact that you’re doing something illegal (breaking cryptographic protection to rip a personal collection), your risk certainly minimal, but it’s technically a non-zero risk. You’re technically supposed to keep those movies on their discs and not decrypt their content in order to back them up.

With that in mind if you’re already getting into ripping content and setting up Plex/Jellyfin for yourself you might as well just go the whole way and start downloading off of Usenet.

Aside from that, I also think that digital purchases and downloads can be a decent way to go. I’ve heard of some providers like Sony removing purchases from libraries but that also seems extremely rare. I have a few random movies purchased on iTunes (now renamed/moved to the Apple TV app but still available) and they’re still there many years later, but it would be nice to get that as more of a guarantee. Apple’s streaming quality is also second excellent and certainly close enough to what you get on Blu-Ray for 99.9% of people.
To each their own, I had to use one for a year to not create more ewaste and it's one the most buggy experience I ever had, I was to lazy to reformat it after one last breaking bug and I switched back. I find the software stack looks like hold together with duck tape.

And iMessage lost in the EU so that never been a selling point for me.

I never liked their software practices but I left them because of the software quality actually.
Yes, the camera sees everything. But we could avoid teaching the model certain things. For instance, an undressed body and a dressed body could both be taught as a body. Likewise, medicine pills as well as regular mints could just be taught as mints.

While this approach doesn’t address privacy completely, it avoids certain elements of our life that are considered really private.

I think half of the point of using the simulated dataset to train the model was to safeguard the above mentioned kind of privacy (with the other half being lack of real-world dataset).
When I first came to Ithaca in 1993, Cornell’s Central IT (CIT) had developed a suite for online services such as email and gopher called “Bear Access” the the more technically oriented people called “Bear With Me Access”. They also created early video chat software

By the mid 2000s they had backed away from client software but were still contributing to an effort to build a web-based accounting package for higher ed. They were badly disorganized at the time, going through channels worked about 50% of the time, otherwise you had to use “vendor management” tactics verging on “social engineering” to get things done. (For instance I had a problem w/ the backup system and put in a ticket… Two days later I found out who was in charge of backup and he told me their ticket system had been down for more than two weeks)

Today they are scarily competent at managing managed Windows machines but the only dev team that I know about there today is identity management.
The SSPL is useful exactly for the reasons you outlined, mainly. To preserve the ability to make money of the original authors is just a side effect. The SSPL point from the point of view of the Free Software Movement is (whatever was the reason for the creation of such license): people will start to write less and less free software (it is happening already) if they see their software exploited by megacorps. As less free system software is produced, the society captures less and less value. It's exactly the same idea as AGPL. Also if the original authors have a viable income, they no longer need to do things as a side project, and can write more and better free software, so also to avoid Amazon stealing the potential money output is a direct way to maximize the free software main goal.
Cats won the internet.
The comment on shortening resumes resonates deep. The ability to differentiate skill set is almost entirely distilled to a secondary search if you happen to spot the tiny 2003-2010 indicating more than a passing affair. Not that it’s confirmation of talent but when all you see is the same gpt fueled write ups regurgitating your job posting it is indeed harder to prioritize and suss out quality applicants. I see the newer generation of recruiters pushing for a 15 second resume review, so the problem is certainly on both sides but it certainly cultivates the continued downward spiral.
the ol' "hashed minutae" and "in aggregate" chestnut. Meta at one point allowed you to target ads to a specific person (nevermind the cambridge analytica stuff.) Google is in the business of selling time, eyeballs, and mindshare to advertisers.

Google and meta (et al) receive money in exchange for the info of their user base. That they're playing 3 card monte (shell game?) with the data to "hide PII" - which has been mathematically proven to be impossible (currently, perhaps forever) seems a hair not worth splitting, considering their market caps.

Put simply, if there wasn't a financial reason to do the data collection google would simply not do it. You don't get rich shareholders by writing a lot of checks to seagate.
