Yeah. I've seen it in Wagamamas and other places that serve Japanese-inspired food but not noticed it in many other places.
I hadn't noticed the katsu curry everywhere thing, but that's probably because I don't eat junk food. I have made it myself. It's not bad as a novelty, mostly because of the breaded protein (tofu in my case). But the gravy is not very exciting if you like Indian food at all.

So I was about to dismiss the article but the really interesting part is further down. Katsu curry is really British anyway! This makes sense when you think about it a bit. The British nicked all the delicious food from Indian at a time when British food was "boil vegetables for an hour, discard the veg and drink the water". That's where things like HP sauce, pickles, chutneys etc come from and, of course, "curry powder". There's no such thing as curry powder in India (confusingly there's the unrelated curry leaves). It was just anglicised Indian flavours. Of course they would make a starch thickened sauce with it...
The maximum Ozempic dose is 2.0 mg. The maximum Wegovy dose is 2.4 mg.

The difference is not as dramatic as you're making it sound. And again, both are FDA approved within this dosing schedule.
They are listed alphabetically.
Also a big reason why C++ co-routines are the way they are, is that they were originally modeled in C# async/await as per Microsoft design in C++/CX before submission to the WG21 process.

With the big difference that all those magic classes, that also exist in a similar form in .NET, do have support in Windows Concurrency Runtime, and later C++/WinRT.

However since WG21 left the runtime part as exercise for the reader, we have the current mess of C++ co-routine talks at each conference, and even so, not everyone gets them.
I do the same now for a firefox extension I wrote (automatic form-filler that works way way better than anything else out there).

So it's also "bring your own keys" but then how do you monetize at all?

I personally don't like "bring your own keys" at all from a user-friendlyness perspective. It means that you exclude the vast majority of potential users, because they don't know what that even means. Even "create an account" is more user friendly.
It's a lookup between postcode and address, what is the abuse cases you're worried about?

I've used Obsidian for a couple of years, mostly for private to-do things

I used iCloud to sync between phone and laptop.

It worked great until recently.

Now I experience extreme jankiness: App sometimes takes forever to load, files missing, or suddenly disappearing as I open them. The problem, as far as I can read, is iCloud aggressively removing files locally when they're not used. I haven't tried Obsidian Sync yet.
Seems like it. When I was skinny(not a rapid weight loss, it took years), I looked very different. I look a lot more friendly when I'm fatter. My skinny face was a bit.. harsh.
This. We have however many millennia of natural selection influencing our genetic characteristics, and that's been shoehorned into a very different lifestyle over the past few hundred years.

Ideally, we could allow everyone enough time off enough exercise, rest, and so on, to emulate what has shaped us for the first however many millennia, but we haven't.

Using a medication to compensate for that seems reasonable, provided we've accurately estimated it's negatives, etc...
I agree with you, but people shouldn't really have to put in the effort to change diet or exercise or lifestyle habits. But the environment that produces those habits SHOULD change.

I lost a bunch of weight when I moved to Dublin and started walking everywhere. Then I moved to the Netherlands and lost even more, and got stronger. I didn't particularly try, I just lived somewhere where I used my own body to get around and the "normal" portion sizes were actually somewhat sane (a bag of Doritos here is maybe a third the size of one in the US).

I was 280 pounds when I lived in suburban California. I'm 180 pounds now.

Build bike lanes and public transport, put schools where kids can walk to them, and maybe don't sell a thousand calories of chips in a personal-sized and marketed bag, and it should get better.

As an added bonus you get a lot less air pollution (and noise pollution, etc.) and less people being run over!
Yes i will.
I'm moving to Linux, fulltime.
That's why it's on us to convert as many people over to Linux desktop as possible. I can't sell people linux, but I can sell them the dream. Let me preach this gospel. I got Manjaro, Debian, Fedora, iptables galore.

Linux so easy your mamas can use it. No seriously, works out of the box. Microsoft aint gonna be screenshottin' NOBODIES SCREEN. Shady ass company. After that Crowdstrike stuff, this is some monopolistic act of terrorism.

Yes, and this is probably a common issue with these “pricing on request” schemes. Unpleasant, yes, but this unpleasantness can still be worth it if you’re running a big business and you need the database with the properties that CockroachDB has. But for an early stage startup, there’s nothing to even talk about. I doubt they are going to give you a quote for some hypothetical future where your annual revenue beats $10M.

Maybe they actually just don’t care about attracting startups, the whole “free license for small players” thing is just so that developers can check it out, not for actual use.
Except a lot of people (like myself) really dislike rich text as a format. Doesn't really play nicely with git. When was the last time you wrote rich text by hand?
You miss the point that it was once freely accessible, and now it is not.
Sadly I don't think this would happen, particularly if Ordnance Survey is responsible, all their data is paid for access.

We have a very different model for access to data produced by government agency use to that in the US.

USGS Topographic maps: public domain / free

UK OS Topographic maps: paid access, and it's not cheep

US National Weather Service: Public domain / free commercial use

UK MetOffie: Payed access for commercial use
The term “curation” is overused, but that is definitely an aspect of their success, just like Trader Joe’s.
I don't think you know what are you talking about, but I'll leave you at that.
Depends. Most developers tend to prefer markup over rich editors. Any application aimed at developers should probably be markdown first.
Not to diminish your comment about Kokoro, but it is a chain of over 50 locations unless the Liverpool location has anything unique about it.

However it is most excellent.
Even if the price wasn't secret, maybe when you hit $10M revenue 3 years later, they'll have raised the price 300%. Maybe they've changed the license again and now its priced per-seat or per-cpu-core or per-employee-tooth. Maybe they've decided to focus on larger enterprises only, and they no longer want your business.
See the drama regarding the dotnet watch removal, killing VS4Mac, Xamarin related products are now a shade of what they were upon acquisition, C# DevKit has the same license as VS proper and many VS features are never going to leave VS to VSCode, the desktop development mess,....

It is much better now, however wind blows in all directions.
We agree that katsudon is better, but we'll never see eye to eye if you prefer chicken over pork katsu...
Considering that in UK if you live in a building, the door next to you can have a different postcode, I wouldn't worry at all
In NZ pretty much every supermarket has Golden (a lot of them even have okonomi sauce). I have to stock up on Vermont in Japan marts tho.

Premade S&B pouches is awesome camping/boating hack. It lasts ages and all you need to do is warm it up for few mins.

My favourite recent “discovery” (even if I visited Japan 4 times) is tonkatsu.
Great, and congrats on the launch!
> put in the effort of changing diet

If the genetic / hormonal explanation is right, it would mean the "effort" is not the same for everyone. So expecting people on the wrong side of the equation to not go for a solution to right the scales demonstrate a lack of empathy.

> The root cause isn't being solved, only the adverse effects are temporarily inhibited so long as people continue to afford dependency on the pharmaceutical industry. How can any medical professional support this?

> I just don't get the lack of skepticism.

Simple answer is people like to eat, lack discipline, and want to look good. None of these will ever change, and so the economic pressure is immense and unstoppable. Until it's proven that these drugs have serious side effects (and that's a real possibility), people will gamble on the risk/reward.

I wouldn't touch them yet myself, but I can see it's a fait accompli. As for solving the root cause, doctors and policy makers have tried everything, to little or no avail. And so we're back to those 3 variables that won't change.
Ah cool. I've been buying few various obscure movies in 4:3 PAL/NTSC and 16:9 DVDs in various regions and converting them to h.265 using slow processing. As I don't trust ffmpeg and handbrake to perpetually be superior, so I'm always keeping around at least unencrypted VOBs if not the DVD .iso. Including pristine source artifacts along with prettified ones is important for archival. (My inner archivist is a choosy beggar Karen.)

Thanks for checking. I realize now that I wasn’t clear in my original comment.

My use case was to bring up a Windows instance using instance storage as the root device instead using of EBS which is the default root device.

I wanted to run some benchmarks directly on drive C:\ — backed by an NVMe SSD-based instance store — because of an app that will only install to drive C:\, but it seems there’s no way to do this.

The EC2 docs definitely gave me the impression that instance storage is not supported on Windows as a root volume.

Here’s one such note from the docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/RootDevi...

”Windows instances do not support instance-store backed root volumes.”

Don’t try to support your arguments by pasting paragraphs of text from ChatGPT.

That said, there is a little nugget of useful information in there: “To do this, they install a corporate root certificate on all employee devices.”

This is true: if you are using a device which has had a root certificate installed on it you are vulnerable to MITM attacks. I would argue that your employer stealing your Anthropic API key is a pretty low risk compared to everything else that is wrong with that scenario!

Your original message above also mentioned coffee shop WiFi: that’s not a threat here. Your coffee shop has not installed a root certificate in your device.
Yes, I agree. I hate web-forms so much that I wrote a Firefox extension that fills them automatically (using LLM).

It sounds to me like what you're describing under 2 is a real usecase for blockchain contracts?

No, not particularly. What I find amusing about Katsu is it reminds of the 1970s curry in a packet type of meal for example https://nostalgiacentral.com/pop-culture/food-drink/vesta-cu.... Also school dinners where a curry sauce would have a random sultana and a bit of carrot in it. Wonderfully disgusting.

Certainly chicken is increasingly popular, fish and chips is almost a boutique food these days since fish is expensive and also very easy to make badly. Whereas chicken is cheaper and easier https://archive.is/Mu1DL
>you get a lot less air pollution

I know what you meant, but according to a comment here once, European city streets actually have worse air pollution than US ones because Europe went hard for diesel engines (to reduce CO2 emissions) for its cars, and diesel produces a lot of very small carbon particles, which turned out to be more harmful than most people suspected back when the diesel decision was made.
How would that help? Hardly anyone cares for windows the OS, instead they care about "it runs MS office, autocad, muh gamez, photoshop, active directory, powertoys, ...".

At best you will get the same situation as with android: Manufacturers will ship skinned versions of windows with some extra features. Actual forks are almost non-existent except for amazon and maybe the Chinese market. All the actually important stuff will still be closed source, e.g. google play.

I don’t believe it’s ever been accessible for free. It’s just that ownership has moved from the state to a private company and now it’s difficult to make it open.
This. Compliance - and preferably through deferred accountability, is the modus operandi of most, if not all, larger organisations.

On the other side of the Channel, the French government has managed to create the "BAN" (Base Adresse Nationale - National Address Database), a database of detailed postal addresses in the country along with precise GPS coordinates: https://adresse.data.gouv.fr/base-adresse-nationale

On top of the database they have provided an interface to view the data, interfaces for towns and cities to keep the data up-to-date, free APIs to search addresses and performing geocoding or reverse geocoding (https://adresse.data.gouv.fr/api-doc/adresse) and the data is openly licensed and available to download.

Feeding the BAN has been enforced by law, localities are required to put together and upload their "Base Adresse Locale" (Local Address Database)

The original data was obtained from multiple sources, including "La Poste", the French Royal Mail equivalent, and OpenStreetMap !
Sad to see a reasonable article with a "This one weird trick could save..." as an ad inline, pointing back to his own page. I tend to think of such ad tactics and wordage to be associated with used car salesmen. Certainly, with scams.

> it’s just a net negative for a young couple to have a kid.

Funnily enough, that fact alone might be enough to reverse course!

What we see over and over and over and over again throughout history is that the rich will do something that stands out and then the poor will try their best to emulate it; seemingly stemming from a subconscious (and perhaps sometimes conscious) "That must be why they are rich. If I do the same, I will become rich too!"

In fact, I would argue that the fertility situation is just another example of that. When the rich were able to start choosing to not have children, they did, and the poor have been trying to do the same ever since. As suggested in earlier comments, it is quite clear that the no children/few children movement started with the rich, and now is working its way through the entire population. Like you imply, perhaps unintentionally, it has become assumed in our culture that the rich are rich because they don't have children. To the point that we see a lot of messaging towards our youth along the lines of "What about your education? Having children is throwing your future away."

However, as we reach the long tail of the poor no longer having children, there is a pretty good chance that the rich will start having children again because they can – as a display of their opulence. Should that take hold, the poor will try everything they can to follow suit. They always do. And then... Problem solved.

I see three problems with this:

1. From a product perspective, this is like going to a restaurant to get dinner but having to bring your own kitchen utensils, food and cooking your dinner yourself.

2. Anything running in a browser is inherently insecure - what's the guarantee that the site where you're pasting your key doesn't have some incredibly stupid security flaw and your key gets leaked?

3. Even if there are no vulnerabilities, you're still pasting your code in a random form somewhere on the web. All it takes is an ajax call or a websocket and someone, somewhere has your key.
Looks interesting. I currently deploy dev instances as a single pod with everything in it, basically exactly the same as what devs get if they run docker compose locally. It works but pretty wasteful for many cases that don't need their own db etc. Is this supposed to make that less wasteful? Is it any different in the "full app"/end to end mode?

It's not a "lack of empathy". GP is just stating the fact that most people are physically capable of losing weight, but since it is uncomfortable and hard they don't. It's not analogous to being unable to hear.

There's nothing with wanting a quick fix to make it easier and less unpleasant. I'd happily use a provably safe one. The only issue is that currently that fix carries unknown risks.
