Eh. The word I would use to describe these suburbs is bland. They're not particularly ugly, but there's nothing interesting about them either.

This, though:

>there are two very different urban Netherlands the older downtowns [...] jammed with tourists, and then there are the outer rings of bizarre Lego-like perfunctory two-story apartment complexes, with few if any shops, beyond an Aldi, a hair saloon, a weed store, and maybe a bike-repair stand."

is taken to such an extreme I would almost call it a lie. Firstly, there are a lot of beautiful inner cities (and villages) not inundated by tourists. Leiden, which he mentions and is one of the most beautiful cities in the Netherlands, sees very little tourists (I've lived there for 10 years). Secondly, I do not recognize his description of the outer rings at all. They may very well exist as described, but I don't know them. These suburbs are bland an boring, sure, but there's plenty of variety in building-types to be found and there usually are pleny of shops within walking/biking distance.

Yes, biology is not as simple. With mTOR inhibition fasting is not a full story. mTOR is a sensor of food (amino acids) and a master regulator of growth signals. mTOR is inhibited naturally by fasting and artificially by drugs like rapamycin. And rapamycin is currently a winner in life/health extension across species (Matt Kaerbelin, Rich Miller from theDrive podcast). So with rapamycin inhibiting mTOR (or other fasting mimetic drugs) it's enough to only _send_a_signal_ of low energy/food to the biosystem to obtain gains in health and reverse biological time. So your analogy fits best here, as you are only using signals.

While with fasting it is a reduction of actual food/fuel. Garbage collection can be comparable to fasting-induced autophagy, but in fasting it is also an absence of growth signals like IGF-1 that provides gains in health function (though Greg Fahy research on thymus regeneration in humans with a mix including a growth hormone may contradict this).

>"it costs $.79 / mo" but you pay in one payment

How do you pay a single one-time payment at a per month rate? How many months do they charge for the one-time payment?

Usually a 'single one-time payment' would be a payment for life. Typically for apps they're <$10 for the lifetime of the buyer (or app if that dies first; there are issues around this sort of pricing, but people are expecting a minimum of several years).

What you appear to be describing would be a pre- payment plan at 80¢/mo.

I think it's interesting to have observed the changes over the years. Before it was about having as thin tires as possible, pumped as hard as possible. Then one realized that only gives a low rolling resistance on perfectly even surface, something softer can absorb more of the little bumps (and also perhaps not fatigue the rider as much from a bumpy ride). Then bytul vs latex vs tpu tubes. Or go entirely tubeless is in vogue lately, often with wider tires and less air in them.

There are other trade offs than rolling resistance. Like puncture resistance, grip/cornering ability, aerodynamics, weight etc. that also comes into account when choosing a tire setup.

Not quite. You can tell this isn't true because there are many common images (game graphics, text, pixel art) where upscaling them with a sinc filter obviously produces a visually "wrong" image (blurry or ringing etc), whereas you can reconstruct them at a higher resolution "as intended" with something nonlinear (nearest neighbor interpolation, OCR, emulator filters like scale2x). That means the image contains information that doesn't work like a bandlimited signal does.

You could say MIDI is sort of like that for audio but it's used a lot less often.

Hi, I am priyanka.

I have been working on feedback management tool and have been continuosly shipping new features but I found my users were not adopting those features as I wanted them to

So I built a pop-up widget for my changelog. As soon as I publish a changelog, a pop-up widget appears on my dashboard that informs users in a visually engaging way what my new feature is all about.

I found an increase in feature adoption rates and trials.

Tell me how do you communicate your new features/ improvements to your users?
The rolling resistance data is interesting, but it would be nice to see some more realistic testing. For example ramping the pressure up on a smooth surface gives lower rolling resistance on a rolling road. But in the real world super high pressures cause the whole bike and your body to shudder and vibrate, which also consumes energy. So there is a sweet spot, between heating the tyre up too much, and passing too much vibration through.

Well regex isn't Turing-complete, so it's not exactly an analysis of a program. You could reason about regex, about tokens, then describe them in a way that satisfies the specification, but theorizing like this is exactly opposite to "simple" - it would be so much harder than just learning regex. So stating that testing regex is simple is just bs. The author later confirms he is a bullshitter by his follow-up...

It would be interesting to know how it acts if you ask it about one that isn't present, or even lie to it (e.g. take a limerick that is present but change some words and ask it to complete it)

Maybe some models hallucinate or even ignore your mistake vs others correcting it (depending on the context ignoring or calling out the error might be the more 'correct' approach)

Using limericks is a very nifty idea!

It sounded like a sociopath. All emotions are faked, they're both just doing what they think is more appropriate in that situation since they have no feelings on their own to guide them. And the lack of empathy becomes clear, it's all just cognitive. When the GPT voice was talking about the dog it was incredibly objectifying, got triggered from my ex. "What an adorable fluffy ball" "cute little thing".

The reason we feel creeped out is because at an instinctual level we know people (and now things) with no empathy and inauthentic are dangerous. They don't really care or feel, just pretend to.

I just explained it in my message: you pay once for a year and that's it. This is not a lifetime access, it's a one-off payment that gives you access for 12 months. If you like it, you purchase again.

I'm not sure how that's helpful. It looks like ALDH is responsible for breaking down acetaldehyde. However, the pathway for ethanol to become acetaldehyde happens primarily in the liver with ADH. So while this may flood your stomach with ALDH, that's mainly only useful in the blood stream after alcohol is metabolized right?

Is the theory here that because the digestive tracks is a large organs filled with blood the resulting ALDH would interact?

My next question is do these, and how many, probiotic bacteria survive the acid wash of the stomach?

Are there studies around this?

When people shut down and struggle to answer, that is very noticeable. If that happened, I'd be asking about their wellbeing and see if there's alternative ways for us to assess.

My problem is candidates that keep being able to talk in ways that to a non-technical manager would sound as if they plausibly know their stuff, but then struggle to offer up any kind of detail when you dig into specifics, while still being articulate yet not giving me any reasons as their answers remain superficially coherent yet descends into technobabble.

I've had candidates telling me they've gone blank. That's fine - I'll find something else to ask about, dial it back, slowly circle back to the problem from another angle, and if I'm fine with everything else we'll discuss e.g. giving them a problem to solve without me there, outside the interview setting. I've had people similarly go blank in front of a whiteboard. That's fine - I ask them to forget about that, and talk through the problem instead.

The candidates I consider to be unable to code are not the ones who freeze up or go incoherent but can pass some other assessment, but the ones that are "confidently wrong" from a fairly high level, and you drill down until they can't explain a simple if statement, while often still talking with apparent confidence.

Maybe I'm sometimes wrong and they're just too anxious to admit to finding it challenging. But if so, that's a much bigger problem to me than if they're struggling with the interview setting more generally.

My pet peeve with this question is that sometimes it’s completely fair to call a piece of software "finished".
I agree that is the likely outcome. It is interesting to me though that they're not concentrated on ports 80/443. There must be a reason why and one answer, from a comment below, could be that boxes hosting this already serve legit http content on those ports. Having this kind of traffic show up in http monitoring tools would make the hack obvious.
I appreciate sites like this where they make an effort to systematically review products rather than just giving a superficial impression or repeating PR. https://www.notebookcheck.net/ or https://dpreview.com/ are also good examples.

Today we have no interoperability compared to 20 years ago (that existed in Windows or Macos applications).

Most applications people use are on the web or mobile today. Every application on the web or mobile (Figma, Notion, ...) is basically a silo or one way street.
Ok, what I think I do not understand is what they mean by "tedious and error prone"? Is it tedious to write the automated translation (aka the coq-of-rust tool in this case) or does the translation of a concrete piece of code (e.g. the core crate) still involve manual work?
> 3). Alternative mechanisms can provide interoperable extension only by using service abstraction themselves—and thus are equivalent to what we consider the essence of objects.

Since virtually any language can delegate behaviour this way, the above claim is really saying that every language carries the essence of objects. (And I agree - for this definition of objects).

So the follow-up question becomes "What's so special about about languages which brand themselves as OOP - as opposed to another paradigm?"

I've started moving my main hobby flask project to Rye from pyenv and an unholy mess of other things.

Which was such a PITA for me setting up on a new machine, which I did semi-regularly.

Going okay so far, uv (which is bundled with Rye now as an experimental default) does seem to have potential, but I've hit a lot of problems with it resolving things when I just dumped a requirements.txt into my pyproject.toml, it must of twisted itself in knots trying to resolve it maybe. Adding the few top deps in using Rye seemed to fix that.

uv also is fast but seems to do something that takes a long time before it actually starts, no text output for up to a minute then it zips through the actual process of resolving/installing. Not sure what its up to.

I was a bit sceptical of the Rust base of these tools, but I think for some core things it makes sense for python tooling to make use of the speed and simplicity of binary executables. Ruff is great as well.

Towards the end of the article there’s a better overall view. This study shows persistence hunting was a widespread technique but used very infrequently:

Cara Wall-Scheffler, a biological anthropologist at Seattle Pacific University, applauded the new paper for adding a wealth of new examples. But she notes the study’s own findings confirm that persistence hunting was rare and that other methods were more common in the historical record. She doubts the technique was a powerful force in human evolution. “Selection acting every single day, everywhere, is more powerful, and persistence running is definitely not an everyday occurrence,” she says. “This paper actually doubles down with how unusual [it] is.”

In the ethnographic book The Old Way the author states persistence hunting was used at one time of year when the ground was softer to hunt one type of animal that over heated more easily.
I find it hilarious that people want to turn off your algorithm because most people don’t know delayed ACKs is the “real problem”.

I’d much rather see delayed ACKs disabled as the new default vs. your algorithm being disabled by default.

I’ve seen too many applications not filling packets and sending tons of tiny packets. They’d benefit from your algorithm, even with delayed ACKs on… but people also confuse latency with throughput all the time (sometimes you want/need one more than the other — and languages like Go not giving programmers this ability to decide is frustrating, mainly because for awhile, those programs were the biggest offenders)…

I digress… I do find this whole thing rather amusing.
