Same. The guy didn’t change any of my profile or recovery info, luckily, so I was able to get it back. And then he sent me a message from another account asking why I had taken his UIN. We ended up chatting for a while. It’s a fond memory.

I actually tried to delete that UIN a few years ago, but the support folks wanted me to provide a few UINs from my contact list to verify ownership. No chance I’m going to remember those.
Top journals have good research in them, they cannot be bought like that. The downside is that they get caught in the hype, and only publish articles likely to be more glossy.

The way to clean garbage from gems is to spend half a decade plus in grad school (literally).

If you just want to enjoy reading about the latest & greatest in science, then Science & Nature are good reading. But for any real perspective you need to read non-academic writing from those researchers willing to exert that effort.
You would think a professional writer would be able to describe straightforward arithmetic in a coherent way.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't a friend of mine fisted/fstd/Timo "solve" this game years ago and make a bot to raep the highscore?

Not saying that this isn't a cool project and information, but my understanding is that the game has bugs/"working as intended" which allow anyone to basically auto click to rack up thousands of points.

I'm not a biochemist, but that unreactive property likely contributes to persistence and bioaccumulation, and like with microplastics, silica, and asbestos, trigger an immune response, cause release of inflammatory cytokines or fibrosis. PFAS can in fact bind to specific proteins in the blood, like albumin as well and other proteins in the liver and kidneys. PFAS molecules have structural similarities to natural hormones, particularly thyroid and allows it to bind to hormone receptors creating agonistic or antagonistic effects.

I wasn't questioning criminal justice in Texas broadly, the topic was innocent people being put to death.

> From what I understand, Texas executes possibly/probably/definitely innocent people with regularity.

The GP comment seems to imply that Texas is intentionally putting innocent people to death regularly. That had nothing to do with the governor or pardons.
> Being very good at most disciplines is about having the fundamentals absolutely nailed.

> In chess for example, you will probably need to get to a reasonably high level before you will be sure to see players not making obvious blunders.

To extend the chess analogy, having the fundamentals absolutely nailed is critical at even a mid-level, because the payoff/effort ratio in avoiding blunders/mistakes is much higher than innovating or being creative.

The process of getting to a higher level involves rote learning of common tactics so you can instantly recognize opportunities, and then eventually learning deep into "opening theory" which is memorizing 10 starting moves + their replies because people much better than you have written lengthy books on the long-term ramifications of making certain moves. You're learning a vast repertoire of "existing solutions" so you can reproduce them on-demand, because those solutions are battle-tested to not have weaknesses.

Chess is a game where the amount you have to lose by being wrong is much higher than what you gain by being right. Fields where this is the case want to ensure to a greater extent that people focus on the fundamentals before they start coming up with new ideas.
Egg McMuffin and coffee for breakfast and then a Big Mac, medium fries and iced tea (or diet Coke or water) for both lunch and dinner is... 2130 calories. Not the pinnacle of the healthiest diet for sure. Over 30 days for a mid-sized dude, you might gain... one pound.
I was inline to buy a 128GB M3 MAX, know that I know the M4 exists and already shipped in the iPad, it lets me know that the whole M4 pipeline has already started and what the perf numbers are, absolutely means I will be waiting. I survived yesterday without it, I can survive tomorrow. And now I can budget in the AMD Epyc bridge that covers that span.

I think Apple has been pretty good about hitting the right cadence with processor perf increases. They are making up for lost Intel time. The M6 is going to make us loose our minds. Apple is going to bring back "this is a munition" ads.
Why spoil the punch line in the title?
I think Fleet aims to do this, its been in preview for 3 years now so I'm not sure what's left for them to actually release the thing. I'm looking forward to only having one IDE installed and loading/unloading language plugins as required, instead of having multiple heavy IDEs.

On top of that, the architecture of Fleet seems more amenable to remote development, like what VSCode has with their SSH plugin. In my experience the remote development feature in its current state has been a buggy mess.
I love MusicBrainz Picard but the UI doesn't seem to allow me to mass-manage my TB collection of music. Just crashes after trying to load it all into RAM for 20 minutes or something.

I don’t recall coming away from Fast Food Nation with the impression that McD improved things, but it has been many years. I thought the book focused on how agribusiness increased the risk of contamination by pathogens like E. coli and the effects of marketing to children.
I'm deeply sorry for what happened to your wife, and what you, your son and family have been through. And thank you for sharing your story; I see you, and wish you have the strength to continue moving forward, and supporting your loved ones.

I'm a random stranger on the internet, and don't want to suggest hope for recovery, but I just finished reading a book (Brain Energy, [1]) that presents a very convincing theory that may explain the cause for most/all mental disorders, and its link to metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction. There has been many studies in this area for decades, but the way he connected the dots and presented the unifying theory felt like a breakthrough.

It probably doesn't apply to the trauma your wife went through, but it doesn't hurt to check if some of the techniques can improve a bit her quality of life. There's so much unknown about how the brain works, and its shocking to realize that most of current treatments for mental disorders by our so-called "medical experts" are, at best, trial-and-error.

Unrelated, but another book that comes to mind is Solve for Happy [2], by Mo Gowdat. I know it's difficult to talk about happiness given what you're going through, but Mo's story of grief and choice may help you find some comfort as you decide how to move forward.

Nowadays I pretty much have the bare minimum in the bank and just spend cash.
It would be a bewildering position, which is why nobody suggested to suddenly drop the issue or stop studying it. I’m not sure where you got that idea.

I was talking about revisiting people’s comments on a message board from 4 years ago in an attempt to re-stoke the flamewar conversations everyone claims to be against.

I don’t fundamentally disagree with your attitude, but then, number theory ended up being pretty useful after about a couple of thousand years of art for art’s sake.
A Word about RMS, GPL and the Free Software Movement
If we talk about the world of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), two popular but conflicting methodologies tried to battle it out in the early to mid 90s - the GPL and Free Software Movement propounded by Richard Stallman, and secondly, the more "liberal" and commerce friendly Open Source Movement propounded by Eric Raymond (ESR).

Because the West is predominantly a Capitalist System, it's the ESR's movement that ultimately won the industrial battle. Most software in the open source world today are licensed under the liberal or "open source" licenses such as Apache and MIT, not the commons or free software license i.e. GPL.

But on the other hand, the idea of GPL isn't without merits, it was an ingenious attempt by RMS to use the copyright law itself in order to ensure that software freedom and its control stays in the hands of the people who use it (Commons) and not the proprietary companies who are essentially driven by a profit motive and nothing else. RMS foresaw decades ago that when software controls the user and developer controls the software, it opens whole new flood gates of authoritarianism in terms of how the software works and what it does. To a great extent, this is exactly what is happening today with most of the software (especially popular browsers and operating systems), they are controlled by this small group of conglomerates which we call "Big Tech".

Because of how things work in the tech industry, I don't think this situation will change much in the near term unless lot's of folks somehow realize the importance of Free Software and Commons meritocracy, and how "open source" is destroying its interest. Little peasants like us can do our bit by releasing all software under GPL but even that is getting difficult day by day. The more libraries, frameworks or other components your software uses, you must agree to their own license depending on how tight the integration is - which in all likelihood will be an Apache or MIT, not a GPL.

Going forward, I hope more and more software will be written in GPL, especially the infrastructure software like coding languages, frameworks, libraries, IDE, etc. which is used to create application software. But way things are going presently, I'm more pessimistic than optimistic. I have very little faith in GenZ. But eventually, at some point, GPL and Free Software should win because it's a better methodology and has merit.

That's proper backup verification. At a minimum, restore to nearline temp storage. Ideally, backup and verify against hot storage SAN or FS volume snapshots.

For absolutely business-critical data, I would consider using multiple backup approaches and/or vendors. Shout out to Tarsnap as vital here that every commercial enterprise should use for essential customer, contract, and accounting data.
Fltk supports windows. Will you be using another solution and that’s why u don’t support windows yet?
> Rust has primarily been used for rewriting existing stuff. Go has been used to produce new things.

Interesting observation. Coming to think of it, it might be true.
Community note: Community notes started as Birdwatch in 2020 and got released to wider community in March 2022. Elon Musk initiated the take over in April 2023, with any effects taking much longer. While Community notes got much more popular under Elon Musk, they're not "Elon Musk's feature".

Aside from that, it's one of the social media features I really love and they seem to work surprisingly well. They have some issues and sometimes are slow to appear while people keep retweeting lies, but... it's better than anything else I've seen so far. The self-balancing (less impact from votes from people in a given segment who may be too biased on it) is probably what keeps it in check.
I'm inclined to not believe GCP because they edited their status updates retroactively and lied in their postmortem about the Clichy fire in Paris not affecting multiple "zones"

Science advances by both negative and positive results. So for a researcher, negative results are also “expected to work”. Furthermore, scientific ideal is that researchers are neutral towards the results. Does not always happen, of course.

I like the jetbrains products a lot and have been using IntelliJ as my main IDE for years.

What I don’t like is their pricing with regards to multiple products. I use IntelliJ 95% of the time and pay for it. Sometimes, I’m writing some Python or C and would like to have a decent IDE as well, but then I immediately need to purchase the „all products pack“. I wish there was a cheaper option for occasional use of other IDEs. Right now I use the PyCharm community edition, but this feels a bit silly :)

Hopefully Fleet will solve this.
I applaud your effort, but cross plattform with no Windows support?
mp3gain is at the frame level. Sonos in particular does not honor ReplayGain. So the workflow is to adjust the volume with mp3gain, then re-analyze those levels and set the ReplayGain. That way it plays on devices that don't honor Replay Gain. Sonos sucks for local mp3s - it's the only way to get the volume to come out the same for everything.
The other thing is that you can use the kobo without ever connecting to a network or setting up an account. (edit Kobo eReader.conf and add "SideLoaded=True") Because of this I would easily recommend it.

I also have a remarkable 2, but the kobo has a backlight.

Ha, what coincidence. I installed the EAP (Early Access Program) edition only last week as I've been learning Rust.
sure but from google, he gained 25 pounds in a month. a pound of fat is about 3500 calories. 3500 calories/pound * 25 pounds / 30 days = 2916 calorie surplus. Morgan Spurlock is a 188cm tall man, which let's say he's 30 years old and 100kg (wikipedia says he gained 24.5 pounds/13% body mass), doing no to little exercise (he did walk 2km a day) that gives a Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) of 2406 calories per day (used this calculator : https://www.calculator.net/tdee-calculator.html?cage=25&csex...).

So basically, he had to be eating at the very bare minimum 5400 calories per day to get that much weight. To be fair, the wiki page says he did average 5k calories per day so he would have been lying only about 400 calories (minimum) per day.

Checking online, supersize me fried are ~600 calories and a big mac ~600. So let's say you eat that 3 times a day, that's 1200*3 = "only" 3600 calories. I find it hard to believe he drank 1800 calories worth of drinks per day to fill the gap, especially since he was allowed to drink water. Looking at canadian mcdonald's website, a large pepsi is 290 cals/77 grams of sugar, were supersize me really double that? If so, I guess the conclusion is don't drink 462g (literally over a pound) of sugar.
> I think Fleet aims to do this, its been in preview for 3 years now so I'm not sure what's left for them to actually release the thing

I know this isn't _technically_ something that needs to happen before a stable release, but their Vim plugin is pretty abysmal and I'm fairly sure that I'm not the only one who that would be a deal-breaker for.

Eclipse has been doing this for decades. But its eclipse so it’s not as polished as IntelliJ etc.

If antivaxxers held themselves to a consistent model, they would be gone by now. For instance, long ago it used to be about the mercury based preservative that's basically never used now, but somehow vaccines are still evil somehow. Some other way, for sure. They've just got "vaccine = bad" stuck in their head and they'll grab any scrap of info that confirms their bias.
Over what time frame what the phenomenon? Have you heard of migraine aura? Descriptions vary, but they typically involve a visual disruption traveling across your field of view. They aren't always followed by headaches, and I have trouble seeing when I get one.

Exactly. You can't except by setting DDG as the default search engine. Chrome, Brave, and FF for iOS also don't directly support this sort of feature either.
For people with addiction problems, they can't. Addicts have this problem where they can't. They're sitting there thinking don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, and then what happens is they go and do the thing. They're unable to do that work and discipline because they are not tall enough.
In the sister comment, I did some math and because the guy was 188cm and 220 pounds to start with, he needs 2400 calories per day just to keep his weight. He would have lost at least half a pound per week with the diet you just mentioned.
Thanks, I'd wish I could get my G4 Cube back.
True, they might be referring to that, although if so this is the first time I’ve heard such a complaint in 25 years.

The usage of the term "free-net" to describe early methods of free internet access was quite obscure even in 1999, I only learned of it years after starting Freenet.
Here's a potentially better alternative to Ozempic: glucose control.

Let people buy CGMs without a prescription, increase education about healthy habits from the point of view of minimizing glucose spikes [1][2], and the importance of metabolism for everything, including physical and mental health [3].

Yes, diet and exercise helps, but what you eat is also important, as well as when, and in what order. Once you learn about it (and have a CGM showing the effects in your body in realtime) you can't unsee it.

That would be a massive privacy breach unless everyone involved in the interviews wanted to publish that. Possibly also an issue with publishing company's internal information. Also (even if it happened to be legal), releasing interviews about a person who is likely now slammed with the wrath of gamers would be a total dick move. No, they should not release anything.

We're not entitled to the interviews. We're not even entitled to the details we got. They did a good thing publishing the results, but it was a private matter.

Related story for people who haven't heard about it: At one point CERN had problems which seemed to be related to the phase of the moon. After much head scratching, it turned out that the problem -- with an underground particle accelerator -- was indeed related to the moon phase, since the moon's gravitational pull was deforming the path of the particle beam.
