I could write a lot about how I found it - but everyone is different. Instead I'll mention that in the 90s there was a study New Scientist reported in regard to a simple experiment involving the influence of fructose on fat / weight gain -- one lot of rats were fed a diet striped of fructose, along with iirc a couple of other sets of rats on differing diets. The ones with less fructose didn't put on as much weight as those on higher fructose diets. Around 2010 iirc Harvard was starting to publish research into the role fructose plays. [1] [2] There's also one good paper on how fructose increases villi length but I'm unable to find the reference I had in mind, the only one a search turned up was behind a pay wall. ( Edit: [3] [4] in regard to pay walled [5] Dietary fructose improves intestinal cell survival and nutrient absorption)

The main thing IMO with adopting dextrose (glucose) is availability and price. I'm happy enough to pay $3 aud per Kg for dextrose though I hope it doesn't go up any more. (Imported product, Aussie dollar has slipped)

Minor issues are fiddling with recipes that rely on sucrose and the stiffer structure on heating it forms - sometimes it's never quite the same. However the web more often than not has suggestions to get close enough.

Some people even got OS X running on these as a discounted albeit limited Mac. More practically you could do this in order to run “XBox Media Center” (aka Kodi) as it was named back then.

The reverse was also true when Apple released what was more or less the Apple TV interface as the Front Row app and some Macs even shipped with an IR remote. The same IR remote worked with several Macs of the time.

Eventually everything went to streaming and the software to support locally networked libraries became a side feature and eventually discontinued.
That 1 is 104% (so far) not 100%.
Actually, you can find "pix accepted here" in shops/exchanges in neighboring countries. It's probably more wide spread near the border. Similar to east Asia, were alipat/wechat is widely accepted in areas flooded with Chinese tourists
>strategic error in terms of who really holds more cards in the trade battle, specifically with China.

I'm not sure who has cards is the problem so much as launching an unnecessary trade battle in the first place.

If you really wanted to onshore industrial production you could have announced sane policy in advance to give people time to build factories in the US etc. without a trade war needed.
Isn’t this what FedNow is for in the US? Genuinely curious since I feel like transfers still take days. My assumption is that it’s not fully adopted yet, but my understanding is that the US is in the process of adopting this.

You’re not understanding the point.

1. No other industry makes senior people perform “work sample” tests in interviews with the exceptions I mentioned above.

2. There is absolutely no comparison between whiteboard sessions in interviews and in reality.

I have never once had a whiteboard session where someone says “I’m going to give you a system to design. I have built 100 of these systems before, so I have fairly specific things I’m gonna to look for. But I’m not going to tell you exactly what those are. You have 45 minutes in which to do it. No you can’t think about it over lunch. No you can’t spend 30 minutes reading up on it. No we can’t do another session tomorrow.”

If you think this is anything remotely like designing a system in real life, I definitely don’t want to work anywhere you have.

>expected to showcase your skills

Yeah that’s my point. Other industries don’t do this for senior people because they realized it’s not actually predictive enough to be worth it.
Ironwood: The first Google TPU for the age of inference
This is a hard take, just because we all build on stacks. When we trust that Math.Abs() is going to work in some language, or that some socket library is going to do what it says on the tin, we're standing on the shoulders of giants. I also avoid frameworks as much as possible, but by frameworks I mean anything I'd rather roll myself in a scripting language, particularly when learning and keeping up with the framework seems like more of a hassle. But for the layers and layers of underlying software and hardware behind me writing REST calls and async functions?

Also, there are higher level libraries that are sometimes good, because why reinvent the wheel every time you make something? Pixijs is one I use a lot. Also, Chart.js. Jquery. Moment.js. Good ol' Bootstrap 4 alpha's CSS handles a ton of use cases, and I never need to think about it again. There's very little in those that I haven't at one time or another rolled myself, but having a toolkit that you know and doesn't change much saves you a lot of time. The danger is more getting into libraries that aren't already dead, and are still in active development ;)
American Disruption
Thanks for the perspective. I don't feel love or hate, I am just perplexed (haha) about the discourse around it sometimes.
I'm not sure impartiality is actually all that great. At least the way it's currently done.

Look at Elon's sieg heil during the inauguration. "Impartial" journalism referred to it as an "awkward hand gesture" or just talked about the controversy it caused. Very, very few journalist called a spade a spade, because that's taking a side.
Once your Tabs go over certain number of active tabs. There are people with hundreds of Tabs. And Safari doesn't do Tab Sleep. Instead it put those tabs in the background as active but low priorities, works well when they fit within Memory and some paging. Stop working when it is above that. Tab Overview will also cause every single Tab to be re-rendered.

Video Playing is also another problem especially with Youtube. Having Youtube Tabs opened in the background also causes memory pressure issues.

On Desktop, Chrome and Firefox is so far ahead of Safari.

What if Trump wants and expect some kind of coup attempt ("losing power"), a kind of Reichstag fire, in order to consolidate it?

Trump's action appear self-destructive when you consider them in the context of normalcy, but if you consider that he intends to catapult the US outside normalcy, these actions might make sense.

> The truth is that a Department of Government Efficiency is a really good idea.

Lost me on this “truth”.

Yes, it is important to have oversight and ensure funds are spent well and on what they should be spent on. But DOGE is not that, it’s so clearly incompetent at that. It’s Musk and a bunch of techies thinking they know best how to do things.

They act, as par for the course for tech, that the first time they have an idea is the first time anyone’s had it. A department of government efficiency already exists, it’s called the Government Accountability Office.
>Don’t Be Afraid To Get Your Hands Dirty..code is just code

All the other topics bring great wisdom, but 'go touch the code' is no longer the responsible thing for senior devs. Junior devs working on minor things, sure. However, senior devs should be rigorously following a process to 'getting their hands dirty'. When senior devs are tinkering with business critical or life critical code, they are usually unaware that the weight of responsibility of everything the software does is now theirs. That's why process exists.

So everything made in China coming into the US is more expensive for the consumer, and anything made in the US and exported to China is more expensive, meaning less of it will be bought.

Maybe what we needed was a classical and humanities education all along so that people would not abuse available technologies to their worst possible end because more people might have been aware of the outcomes of such behaviour. C’est la vie. Fires have a warm glow, at least.

It is uncanny how well this describes me. I've been trying all kinds of things, like website blockers, timeouts, breaks, etc. nothing's stuck.

And it's all about "getting in the zone". Once I'm there, things fly, but the sputtering engine of editing 3 lines then alt-tabbing to youtube for 20 minutes makes progress very slow.

Treasury's OCC Says Hackers Had Access to 150k Emails
CSP tells the browser where scripts and styles can come from (not just inline, but origins/domains, too). Let's pretend that an attacker can inject something into a page directly (like a SQL injection, but HTML). That script can do just about anything, like steal data from any form on the page, like login, address, or payments, or substitute your elements for theirs. If inline resources are forbidden, the damage can be limited or stopped.

> I think China's response is a huge gamble that the psychosis can be broken with careful application of pain - before that pain hurts China even more.

Politically, as a dictatorship, China can withstand pain longer than the US, which is not (yet) a dictatorship, and even if Trump himself can't be moved, Congressional Republicans are nervous about the 2026 midterm elections.

> most people in the US who backed Trump are debtors and consumers who are going to see prices go through the roof. But there is no guarantee they will blame their leader.

The people who love Trump are never going to be moved, but Trump's victory in 2024 required nonpartisan swing voters who were frustrated with the economy under Biden as well as hard-core supporters. If the economy actually gets worse rather than better under Trump, then the swing voters can easily swing the other way in 2026 and 2028.

We modified the CSP to inject a per user generated nonce that exempts it script from the policy.

They said this was not allowed and removed it from the extension store.
Not doing what China does is a massive gamble too - Trump and America will bully for more and will lie while doing it.

Yes, conservatives will blame everyone but the perpetrators inckuding themselves. But, it does not matter, because if they will get what they want, they will come back for more and cause more harm.

Nice work blaming the victims and trying to push them into passive acceptance of what is done by perpetrators. In reality, when you bully, others have choice between letting it or retaliating. And letting it happen has huge risks. Everyone else is opening themselves to more bullying ... but that is better for Trump, so you do not care about those risks.
Yes they will. Why do you think they won’t? They certainly can. You just use RAG to look up the latest news based on the keywords you are using. You can use search on the back end and never surface a list of results unless the LLM decides that is a good idea. It curates that the reusits for you. Or gives you the singular site you need with context. That is better for most searches.
It is. It happened to us a few weeks ago.
Trump attempts to Reinvigorate America's Coal Industry to power AI data centers
I think the nuance here is that I mean there is no true free action of choosing. The choice is always controlled by something outside of my control, either a random chance or determined by my memories/experiences/biases etc.

I'm saying that 'free' is essentially meaningless, it can't be defined in this context.

If my will is a process whereby I come to a decision between options, but my decision is constrained by random or determined factors, there's no room for any personal freedom, I, my will, is controlled completely by those factors and is not free.

More Power, More Data with GPMI
Rolling your own, though, does come down to hammering in the extra nails... and hoping that whoever's doing the job knows where to put those supports in place. If you have someone who looks into the future and sees what issues might come up in a few years, then it's way cheaper than relying on frameworks. If you don't, then you're stuck with some janky software that no one else can fix. I think this is why the larger the scale, the more likely companies are to rely on frameworks which themselves are janky, but at least well understood.

Rustacean, Gopher... this is an embarrassing way of looking at it.

And, speaking of, Go is not a memory safe language when you reach for its concurrency primitives as it very easily lets you violate memory safety (as opposed to Rust, .NET and JVM, where instead you get logic bugs but not memory safety ones).
My solution is to _only_ chat. No auto completion, nothing agentic, just chats. If it goes off the rails, restart the conversation. I have the chat window in my "IDE" (well, Emacs) and though it can add entire files as context and stuff like that, I curate the context in a fairly fine-grained way through either copy and pasting, quickly writing out pseudo code, and stuff like that.

Any generated snippets I treat like StackOverflow answers: Copy, paste, test, rewrite, or for small snippets, I just type the relevant change myself.

Whenever I'm sceptical I will prompt stuff like "are you sure X exists?", or do a web search. Once I get my problem solved, I spend a bit of time to really understand the code, figure out what could be simplified, even silly stuff like parameters the model just set to the default value.

It's the only way of using LLMs for development I've found that works for me. I'd definitely say it speeds me up, though certainly not 10x. Compared to just being armed with Google, maybe 1.1x.

We had the variety that was able to grab onto the edges exposed by the seams in our vertical cedar siding and so had holes at random places in the wall, far away from perching locations.

They are using Zola (Rust SSG) but I think they're serving from Worker + KV: https://github.com/mre/endler.dev/blob/32016d0f204911bc9a8a4...

This game is somewhat stupidly implemented in that for clue "exercise in a pool" the guess swimming doesn't count, as the answer is swim.

But more importantly we can see here that actually just getting user input with a keyboard is actually made stupidly hard on mobile, and getting a reasonable result actually requires reimplementing the virtual keyboard, which often sucks because it has a tremendous amount of complexity!

Now that I've recognized this pattern I see it everywhere: someone invents part of a solution, probably including some cool technology, then hails that as the solution and insists everyone else is wrong for not getting it.

The classic one is some FOSS people inventing a protocol where servers can talk to clients, and declaring a problem solved, when in actual fact, most people don't have a server. Mastodon is this, but so is XMPP.

HTTP took off because there were servers you could fetch things from with HTTP, not because it theoretically allowed you to fetch things from servers.

Paper euros aren't cool because I can "have money". They're cool because I can go to the grocery store and trade them for something to eat. My bank card isn't cool because I can "have money". It's cool because I can go and swipe it and not have to count paper euros. If you want cryptocurrency to be cool, you're going to have to get it integrated into grocery stores, which is, of course, impossible because it can only process 7 transactions per second. You also need a way to convert my paychecks into cryptocurrency, but this is basically solved with crypto exchanges now.

>Gold isn't really wealth any more than paper money is.

Any scarce resource people want is worth very much. Be it gold or bitcoin.

Why do you think Amazon warehouse workers are payed less than Amazon coders? Because it's easier to find a warehouse worker than a coder.

What something is "worth" is dictated by the market. Which means it is dictated by the laws of supply and demand.

Not to be snarky, but my definition of best programmers would balance these. I do spend more time than most understanding the depths of tech stacks and the breadth of potentially useful ones. At the same time I strive to make software that gets the job done with only the abstractions that pay off in a short to medium timeframe.

The trap avoid are those business impact folks that demonstrate an unwillingness to get better at actual programming, which ironically would increase their impact.

Edit: an example is fixing a problem without understanding its cause.
