> If you go faster, that means you're outputting more wattage per second.

It's not just a comparison of fast versus slow, it's also heavy versus lighter body weight. You can move faster at lower weights while spending the same amount of energy as someone moving more weight slowly.

The net result is that it's easier to run a fixed distance when you're in shape. The same energy output makes you move faster, making the run shorter in time duration, meaning you actually spend less energy.

Further, getting in better shape often coincides with improvements in metabolic efficiency, so you get further benefits.

Usain Bolt has exceptionally improved musculature and metabolism for sprinting over the standard person, so his maximum energy output results in an exceptional speed.

At that point, we aren't talking about equivalent energy outputs anymore, which means it isn't relevant to the "easier" qualifier.

I love the idea of Nix, but the current implementation seems too impossibly complex to ever go mainstream. Dynamic hard-to-debug DSL, loads of novel concepts, difficult to do a piecemeal transition, etc. One poster in this thread reported how their supposedly immutable system configuration broke with an update.

Is there anything on the horizon which could embrace the ideas in a better package? Does Guix smooth over enough rough edges?
But I don't want that.
Saying "good job Apple" in the context of payment processing deals is like cheering on a slightly more buff gladiator bashing in the face of his opponent. Both of them intend to fleece the users, they just disagree over who gets priority access.

If we're talking about the rule of law, there is no law against a convicted felon from either being elected President or being the commander-in-chief. There is only the irony (as the GP brought up) of someone who cannot legally possess a firearm being in charge of the military, but neither irony nor hypocrisy is yet illegal. So I see no problem here.

Is your point that a convicted felon should be legally barred from holding office? Then there is a straightforward legal process to achieve your goals. However, I caution you that politically motivated prosecutions have existed before Trump and will exist after, and that there's probably a better reason than mere oversight that the Constitution places so few limits on who can be voted President.

For those curious about the illegal move, it seems like it's allowing queen side castling through the king side rook (or vice versa). eg. if this is the first rank, R _ _ R K _ _ _, then you could make the move O-O-O and end up with _ _ _ R K _ _ _

Naturally, it's not possible to view this move anymore, but this game (https://lichess.org/XDQeUk6j#48) has everything up until the last legal move right before the illegal castling happened.
Exception chaining is a good thing.

If your exception handler throws another exception, then knowing what caused the original exception is really good to know and greatly helps debugging, especially if your code is calling the handling code incorrectly. Without chaining, the root cause of the second exception would be hidden.

If you find the chained exception output confusing, that's literally a skill issue. It's giving you invaluable information. Learn what it's telling you and you can fix bugs far more easily.

The bacteria develop resistance fairly quickly, but you can somewhat get around that with cocktails of phages (like a bunch of phages at once).

> For a sick person after antibiotics therapy and after culture test results, those days/weeks to raise another culture of phages might be deadly

The hope is that you'd have a bunch of phages ready to go from a variety of patients. So you wouldn't need to make a new culture. However, right now they often do personalized phage therapy because they can only get it approved as a last-hope kinda deal. But then it makes the scientists only target chronic infections, because it does take a couple months to get another cocktail of phages ready to go.
go has excessive verbosity, poor error handling, rough edges for package/dependency management, and forces you to use interface for too many things.

The question is about Zuckerberg's purpose. Does he need to collect all the data he does to connect people? No, he collects the data because he can monetize it. Connecting people is incidental. Does Facebook really need to know that you spent money buying adult diapers in order to help you see pictures of your niece across country or locate the old high school classmate that popped into your mind?

That is why I said "dressing it up" - is is a pretext for his primary goal.
That's shameful to do in the US, given our principles of justice.

Maybe it was negligent rather than intentional. For example, the company might've just been using some form they got from an outsourced service. Or a lawyer might've made the form for them, but using an obnoxius template (as templates tend to be, AFAICT).

So, when people are in this situation, they can try asking the company about it (a recruiter, HR contact, or the hiring manager). The company's response could be strong signal about the actual corporate culture you'd find if you joined.

(Personally, if I was a hiring manager, and didn't know that candidates had started seeing this form, I'd want to know, and I'd make sure the right people were looking at it. To see whether that was intended, is it legal, is it a message we want to send, etc.)

You could also try contacting a labor regulatory authority or state AG's office, to see whether it's even legal. And/or, contact a state lawmaker, and suggest that it seems unconstitutional. It might even be an arguable EEOC violation where you are (e.g., if some protected group there is more likely to have adverse interactions even when innocent).
It's great and I'm happy for you that you have a body that is such that you can do that. Many people do not have similar experiences. Often times people who are not able to do things like are labeled as having a lack of control or a failing in the character. The truth is that many people have different chemistry which makes doing something like this borderline impossible.

> They want Ozempic for all through Medicare.

Right. It seems pretty obvious who is behind all these media articles proposing these drugs being given to all overweight people.
I agree, but let me get on a soapbox for a moment. In the context of weight loss, "cravings" is just a judgemental way of saying "hunger".

I have gained a ton of weight in the past four years, going from a BMI of 19 to a BMI of 28. I do not have "cravings". I experience constant hunger. I got tired of being hungry all the time and started eating until I am no longer hungry, and that's why I'm fat now.

Calories in, calories out, and all that nonsense that doesn't account for hunger is just a way of dismissing the very real struggle of people who, for whatever reason, have a disproportionate amount of hunger relative to the amount of energy they need on a daily basis.
Ah! You asked about flakes as well. Just saw that. Basically flakes are a construct in Nix that enable you to (a) ensure that your Nix code is always "pinned" to specific revisions of your inputs (for example Nixpkgs but other inputs as well) and (b) to provide a simple and well understood system for sharing Nix code. So this command, for example, enables me to build Tailscale:

nix build github:tailscale/tailscale

I point Nix at an "address" and it knows which set of Nix build instructions to use. Basically that Tailscale repo has a flake.nix in the root that Nix looks at, specifically at the flake outputs. From there, it sees that there is an attribute called "packages" and then it sees that there's a package for the current system called "default," and then it builds that. So Nix expressions have universal "addresses" (they also did before flakes but flakes provide a standard structure for outputs and built-in pinning via flake.lock files).

> It's not a "legal philosophy" that's how states work (i.e. it is their land). The state always controls all the land within its borders.

You're confusing ownership with control. Ownership grants but does not guarantee control [1].

Countries nominally control the territory within their borders. In this case, the state is also legally entitled to certain rights pertaining to the water. (Similar to how a homeowner is entitled to certain rights pertaining to their property.)

Neither the U.S. nor Pennsylvania purport to own freeheld private property. That means they aren't entitled to it. And aren't entitled to exercise unlimited control over it. If the answer is well it's only pieces of paper that delineate that divide, then sure, but it's only pieces of paper that delineate a state's border.

> If you 100% truly owned your own land you'd be the monarch of your own state

Again, control. In many monarchies, the monarch controls a legal entity that owns the lands of the state. Or is the legal represenative of a deity who is the legal owner.

You don't think running with, say, an extra 50 lbs of weight is more difficult?
>I take tirzepatide

Same. Down 80. Healthy weight for the first time since I was a child. Taking this has led me to feeling less shame about my previous weight and that maybe a lot of this discipline you talk about might also be some of our biology just being not super compatible with modernity. I've personally gone from feeling a bit like a fat cat who you have to take the bowl away from to one who just eats responsibly. Wouldn't really be an issue for the cat in the wild or us 100 years ago. But here we are needing to take away our own bowls. Maybe it really just isn't as easy for some of us.

You're mostly right, hard usage may lead to fast degradation, but unfortunately it is hard to tell how a device has been used as long as there are no obvious signs. Especially when there was more than one owner.

It's a bit like buying a used car - if you are not an expert, it's risky, but avoiding obvious red flags 70% of the time you're not getting ripped of and you save a lot of money.
Loro 1.0
Typescript looks much, much better than what he ends up with. The typescript is more or less the same thing but with comment tokens removed. How is just removing the comment tokens not an obvious improvement in readability?

Honestly, I think all of jsdoc, pydoc, javadoc, doxygen is stuff that most code should not use. The only code that should use these is code for libraries and for functions that are used by hundreds or thousands of other people. And then we also need to notice that these docs in comments are not sufficient for documentation either. When a function is not used by hundreds or thousands of people, just write a conventional comment or perhaps not write a comment at all if the function is quite straightforward. Documentation that explains the big picture is much more important but that is actually somewhat hard to write compared to sprinkling jsdoc, pydoc, javadoc or doxygen worthless shit all over the place.
Beautiful site. Love it
Absolutely. I am creating more code than ever, but mostly copy/pasting it.
I'm on the heavy side for a distance runner, but compared to the general population, I've never been very heavy or very light (BMI currently around 26). I mostly run longer distances (a half marathon most weeks, lots of six mile runs, full marathons and the distances to train for them about twice a year).

In my experience, qualitatively, what you say is absolutely true. I don't even notice a change in pace if my weight floats up or down a bit, I mostly run at a specific level of effort and the pace adjusts itself depending on how much I've over-indulged. However, there are thresholds.

If I try to run a pace that is too slow, there's a point where it almost becomes more shuffle than run, gait goes to hell, and there's a loss of efficiency. As I've gotten more fit (but not lighter) I can now do zone 2 running on the flat with workable form, but this wasn't always the case. It's still less efficient than a fast pace, but at least it looks like running.

So if one is too heavy to even run with actual running form for any length of time, it's harder to be heavy. That's okay, they should probably try run/walk intervals until they get there.

On the other hand, it can also be harder when you're more fit. My pain tolerance has gone way up. I can just beat the ever living snot out of myself, and if I'm not careful, I do just that. It's much easier to do too many miles way too quickly now and that starts manifesting itself in all kinds of noisome ways. Find anyone who considers themselves a runner and get them talking about their injuries and you better not have anywhere else you need to be.

Would you mind expanding on what you mean by "as static types"?

As I see it, it's definitely a part of Java's type system that things which throw a checked exception will require that you handle those checked exceptions. But now here comes `sneakyThrows` and the next thing you know your `Function#apply` (`R apply(I)`, not a `throws` to be seen in that declaration) is throwing a checked exception (not an `UndeclaredThrowableException` wrapping the checked exception, literally the checked exception ... unchecked).

But I'll admit I'm rather an amateur when it comes to such things.

The bigger issue here is the use of drug sniffing dogs as probable cause. These dogs aren't tested for accuracy by any sort of independent auditor, and it is clear that in many cases they are really just being used for fishing expeditions.

In this case the dog theoretically alerted on amphetamines, which are not always illegal since there are numerous prescribable versions of amphetamines. The rest of the "probable cause" wasn't indicative of any crime in particular (traveling to Oklahoma and New Mexico is hardly proof of anything).

OTOH, if you are going to be traficking drugs for a living, don't leave duffel bags in plain sight, and use your turn signal.

I think all of those of us who are paying attention expect it to change drastically. Its just how I don't know (I accept "there will be nothing like software development" among the outcome space), so I am trying to position myself to take advantage of the fallout, where ever it may land.

But I also note that all the examples I have seen are with relatively simple projects started from scratch (on the one hand it is out of this world wild that it works at all), whereas most software development is adding features/fix bugs in already existing code. Code that often blows out the context window of most LLMs.

Well before that it was called the hitler channel
I wager that statement would be turned on it's head if we restricted the comparison to chips of similar transistor density. Fast ARM chips do exist, as ARMv8 designs fabbed on 5nm TSMC with noncompliant SIMD implementations. If there were RISC-V chips in the same vein as Ampere or Nvidia's Grace CPU, I don't see any reason why they couldn't be more competitive than an ARM chip that's forced to adhere directly to the ISA spec.

RISC-V hedged it's bet by creating different design specs for smaller edge applications and larger multicore configurations. Right now ARM is going through a rift where the last vestiges of ARMv6/7 support is holding out for the few remaining 32-bit customers. But all the progress is happening on the bloating ARMv9 spec that benefits nobody but Apple and Nvidia. For all of ARM's success in the embedded world, it would seem like they're at an impasse between low-power and high-power solutions. RISC-V could do both better at the same time.
