The US does not appear define a specific threshold – best effort only, but I believe the EU allows 0.9% contamination in organic crops. The identity preserved program only allows 0.5%, so that's theoretically a better bet than organic, if you had some reason to care.

Why this way of looking at cartilage is a misconception is explained in the study cited by the top level comment. Cartilage in different parts of the body has been shown to be different ages, indicating that it rejuvenates and that there there isn't just a single set of good or bad cartilage.
Huh. That seems like such a weird, minor advantage to attempt to ban. I expect most anyone playing FPS would pick this up naturally.

Also seems impossible to ban given the ubiquity of custom keyboards running something like QMK. Those run user code and could send a fake vendor id to the host.
State and time are the same thing
According to some popular science bloggers the IPCC models even now include so called "hot models" which predict around 5.5C temperature increase as compared to the 3-4C increase of other models in the same suite. (I forgot over which timeframe was that number, but anyway it's the same for all models) And these "hot" models are currently ignored by IPCC, not counted into the final prediction. But according to that same blogger there are some measurements which match "hot" models in the recent years.

Not all websites are created equal either.

I completely agree; we have the same issue here in Australia. When I came home to find my elderly father watching Fox News, claiming that the election was stolen, I realised that the cable box parental controls might actually be for parents!
Im afraid this will get buried, but I‘ll try anyway since I haven’t seen this angle yet:
I’m at a point in my career where I now feel „ready“ to answer questions on SO and want to help others. So my question turns into another direction: where should people eager to provide help go to? Is it still SO or are there other places?

- Reddit: I only stumble upon questions by accident, and often on mobile where I’m not in the mood of typing long answers or code.
- GitHub: I’m mainly here looking for answers myself, is there a nice way to look over all issues for a couple of projects so that I can easily see whether I could help somewhere?
- discourse, discord, …: usually framework-specific, so not as ideal/comfortable as SO I imagine

Are others on the same situation? Where do you answer questions nowadays?
What drives me nuts is that gathering user data for data brokers is such a valuable operation. I am sorry, but I can't sit here and be excited about who numbers are going up at conglomerates as they continue to make apps to extract data rather than any sort of good product. I know I have officially passed middle age due to my good old day's rant, but fridges, dishwashers, and toothbrushes with apps... like when the dishwasher loads itself. I'll accept the hedonistic inflation adjustments.
Most regular medical insurance isn't really insurance, in the usual sense. "Classical" insurance only pays out when something goes wrong, in defined amounts based on what's gone wrong. And while certainly insurers like to find ways not to pay out when you report a claim, there are usually far fewer gotchas with things like auto insurance, home insurance, event insurance, etc., than there is for medical insurance, where you could be denied coverage just because the "wrong" ambulance company took you to the hospital. Not to mention that anything that pays for preventative doctor/dentist/etc. visits isn't really "insurance".

But it's fine; we call it insurance anyway, and everyone knows what it means, so there's no problem.

Running an API Forwarder that could act as a common target for all your APIs might work. Give it the request, and it passes it on, records success, optionally sends a notification if an endpoint that previously succeeded is now failing.

Add a fancy feature of redirection with format changing to handle replacing dead APIs with new ones transparently.

If anybody makes one of these, they should totally make it a free public API. I'd use it, and I'm not certain if that would just be ironically.
I don't see how that points to presence of systematic bans.
Because being against nuclear was and still is to some extent the core idea that unites all green parties. There's nothing else they all agree on and nothing else that defines better the green vote.

Because of that, the green parties in most countries sold their votes in exchange of policies against nuclear as a first priority.

Hi all! I built this tool for data exploration on Snowflake tables without any need to run a warehouse.

Snowflake is very powerful at scale but for small data (< 100GB) I rather work locally and then deploy my models to Snowflake later on. Universql lets you keep using Snowflake clients with its proxy layer and executes the queries locally on DuckDB.

This tech only became possible with Iceberg as it keeps the data references in manifest files where you can intelligently cache the data locally, similar to Snowflake's warehouse cache.

We already have that. The Common Criteria (ISO 15408) has existed for literal decades at this point and is required for usage in government systems.

Vendors just find it too difficult to certify against attacks at the “script kiddie” level, so they lobbied the government to lower the standards so even the lowest rated systems, ones not even audited for security, are allowed for general usage in critical systems.

The large commercial vendors, such as Apple, Microsoft, or Amazon, have spent billions of dollars and literal decades trying to improve their security and have uniformly failed to certify that they can deploy any system that can protect against small commercial teams unlike actual high security vendors who can produce systems secure against even state actors.

Um, so why announce something before even a paper with replicable details is available? To put it bluntly, what are we supposed to do with the information?

Nobody wants that running on their computer though.

Maybe it's time to just give up on PC gaming and use dedicated game consoles instead, which are locked down by design? The only real alternative seems to be running a cryptographically-verified known-good OS signed by one of the big three OS companies, which is also locked down enough such that cheating becomes impossible, or installing what is essentially kernel-level malware, just to play the latest games.
Ok, but my understanding is that that they are mostly deterministic. And that there are initiatives like Reproducible Builds (https://reproducible-builds.org) that try to move even more in that direction.

Very much disagree with the implication that helminths will help very much for these conditions. While not a commonly known treatment in the 'medical sphere' it's is very commonly known in the 'patient community spheres' and from the patient run studies it does not appear to have a particularly strong effect. It does appear to help some people so it's hard to rule it out but that could easily be noise. Those who did report a benefit were most often in the less impaired category and those same people tend to benefit from a wide variety of treatments that are generally ineffective on those of use who are more impaired.

This post reads like someone who has just discovered the world of ME/CFS/LongCovid (post viral) /ToxicMold/POTs/SIBO/IBS/Lymes/hEDS/Graves/Hashimotos/MS/Lupus etc. etc. As a lifer I have seen many people enter the space and go through this exact same early stage of discovery.

What I really think it is; it's genetic, various types of generalized anxiety disorders with their associated auto-immune conditions with the most common being Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos. These genetic predispositions are made worse by diet and lifestyles and triggered by all manner of stressors.

On how to treat it, Low Dose Naltrexone is a good step one, then meds for dysautonomia, TUDCA, 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM), and then finally I think Low Dose Semaglutide < 0.1mg per week is going to be huge for auto-immune. It's early stages but few things have appeared more promising in the patient community. It worked wonders for me and a few other people I know. Everyone is different but those are in my opinion a good place to for someone starting.

Helminths did not work for me the several times I tried it and have not worked for anyone that I have personally known that has tried it which to date is around ~10pp. But I do believe the people who do say it has worked for them but I don't count them unless I knew them prior due to the issue of selection criteria biases.
I feel like one of the categories they are missing is 'APIs that can be done in one line of JavaScript"

With a regular keyboard its very possible for a person to not release one key before pressing the other in a tense situation when they have less than 1 second to react. For example even a professional baseball player making millions of dollars can drop a routine fly ball.
Renewables have the problem on both sides though, they overproduce and underproduce. And the variability of this overproduction and underproduction is much greater than any nuclear plant.
Isn't that a chicken and egg problem? These small designs are supposed to be (more) automated, so they wouldn't need huge teams of people 24/7. My main response to the idea of sticking one so far underground is that you might as well just make a geothermal plant.
Then they adjust or don't date.

Competitive brushing!
I think what you're describing is still the case, but the way you described it isn't quite accuratie. The default kernel used is linux-libre. If you need more hardware support and binary blobs, you use regular linux, the same one basically all the other distros use. You're not using an unofficial fork of anything (or some might argue the default is more of an unofficial fork). You do have to go out of your way somewhat to get the standard linux instead of linux-libre, and I don't believe you can just load your required firmware into linux-libre instead. It's one of the FSF-approved distros so there are indeed strict guidelines (FSDG) on proprietary software, often to the point that it puts people off, and the official IRC and probably the mailing list as well don't talk about the non-free bits, yes. However if you join the #nonguix IRC channel or use the guix channel (like a repo or PPA) of the same name you'll find many of the same faces from the core community there. It's just a bit hush-hush due to the guidelines. Remember Guix System is a step more extreme than Debian, so even something like Debian's official non-free repo is not allowed.

Personally I have run Guix System on a ThinkPad X220T and ThinkPad T440p which are old enough to not really need any blobs aside from the ones for WiFi, and you can remove or replace the card in them. I believe any machine newer than this is going to need blobs for the integrated graphics or other things. I have been debating whether I'd run Guix System on my next (newer) machine and as I've never gotten too deep into the weeds understanding Guix stuff despite using it for years, I may opt for a different distro, but I would say if you really want to try it, it's probably not too bad to get up and running with a regular non-libre Linux on Guix System.
Making some assumptions here but I suspect most game developers outsource their anti cheat to a 3rd party and that is what you are running into. Some of the 3rd party anti cheat rootkit computers. Some are okay and some are just terrible.
I don't think you understood the analogy. CSS is the language that Tailwind uses. CSS is the language that SCSS is based on. CSS is what other frameworks use. CSS is what the browser interprets for styles.

Tailwind is a methodology and a framework. So, it only makes sense to compare other methodologies or frameworks. "Just CSS" isn't a methodology, though non-web folks often think it is. What they probably mean, most of the time, is a certain brand of high-abstraction CSS made popular in the early 2000s. This way of doing things is 3-4x slower (conservatively) than Tailwind and is more difficult to maintain long term.

Of course, it's possible to mix and match the best features of CSS with a methodology that reigns in these problems, and that's what I'd advocate people do. But generally Tailwind can get you 90% of the way there.
