Western omnivorous diets have far more meat than what's needed to fulfill required long-term nutritional needs. The consequences are pretty obvious. However, we are omnivores, and we really do need some meat in our diet.

Lots of people switch to vegetarian/vegan diets report short term (less than 5 years) health benefits. And I have no doubt these are true. Anecdotally, my couple goes at low meat/no meat diets were the same.

But most long term studies of people on primarily plant based diets show long term detriments that are double doctorate in nutrition and food science hard to eliminate.

It's a very hard pill to swallow for people who've spent considerable mental effort at designing a lifestyle around these kinds of diets, and have deeply held philosophical beliefs driving this choice.

Unfortunately, biology is an important driver here, and humans need some meat over the long term. Just not anywhere near what's common in the diets of citizens of most wealthy countries.

The good news is that we have an amazingly adaptable digestive system, capable of sustaining us on all sorts of crazy things. There's very few animals on the planet capable of sustenance from such an incredible diversity of food sources. It's no doubt one of the reasons humans have been able to spread so far and wide.

Within a remarkably short period of time, we've also been able to specialize. Humans in some corners of the world exist almost purely off of animal products while others live off of almost purely plant products, some of these populations have adapted so well they can consume dangerous levels of some nutrients or adapt to relatively low amounts of others.

A bit more on the biological specialization of humans and our evolved digestive systems.

I think you misunderstand what's involved in selling a book. A website that takes orders isn't enough, you've got to actually stock and deliver them. This is what Amazon is developing a stranglehold on.
The prior strategy (meme) was called "grid computing".

AWS' strategy of virtualization honors interfaces (cut points) between the major OS and network stack functional areas.

Grid computing was about portable code running on compute farms, more like a time share. Like an app server.

I shamefully admit I was slow to grok AWS. I had been using VMware for testing and cohabitation and such for years. I just didn't see how AWS was any different, or better. I really missed the boat on this one.

If you can end up getting a polygon list from it I'd think it wouldn't be very effective at all. it looks like it decomposes the triangles onto multiple planes so that they only line up when rotated one way, but you can calculate that rotation based on the rotation of the planes that the polygons are on. Even if they correct that, you'd still likely be able to find whatever image has the lowest amount of white pixels (or whatever the background is) and probably do a reasonable job at least with the example on the page.

"I think link shorteners improve user experience and they're not 'breaking the web' whatever that means"

1. If you can't be bothered to read his objection, it's hard for me to read your rebuttal.

2. regarding "chatting or on a social site, a shortened link may improve the readability of someone's comment." The readability would be better enhanced by allowing users to use hyperlinked text, rather than preventing them from resorting to pasting plain text URLs that get linked automagically.

Your "second camp" of tutorial works exceedingly well at getting other hackers to understand how git works. Git "clicked" when I learned the internals, teaching me about various porcelain commands and their flags without teaching me what git actually is did nothing for me.

The reason why so many people are keen on teaching git by teaching how it works is because that is how they learned git.

Another aspect might be that people with mental/eating disorders might be more attracted to vegetarianism, rather than vegetarianism causing those. I can see good reasons for this: vegetarianism is a good mask for being a "picky" eater, it's got strong issues you can be concerned/depressed about (animal suffering, environmental destruction, being a social outcast in certain areas), etc.

The biggest problem I have with this article is that it lumps every single major into "college" and makes the blanket statement that it is worth it.

Ok, so the average 'cost' of college is negative $500,000, how does that break down by major? What is the average 'cost' of an Art degree? An engineering degree?

"Is college worth it?" is the wrong question because there are so many variations that there isn't just one single answer. "Is my major at this specific college worth it?" is a more valuable discussion.
But it's also a shame that Google's thoroughly undermined the open source Linux underpinnings of Android, by making less and less of it available once Android reached a decent market share. There's still a need for an open phone platform.

I scanned the paper and I feel like most of the criticism by Motl is more or less justified. They introduce non-standard notation for things that would probably benefit from a treatment within well established mathematical language. For example their discussion of non clonability of "superinformation", whatever that is, could probably be resolved by working within a non-cartesian monoidal category (which is a standard tool in Quantum logic).

Link shortners are useful. There is possibly one other simple way to avoid the latency. t.co can resolve the link all the way to the end at the time a tweet is posted (ie run through 1-5). The latency hit is taken once and and not on every access to the shortened link.

Spreadsheets ARE software, anyone arguing differently has insufficient experience in at least one of the fields to have an informed opinion. I've worked professionally in both, and the argument in this article is bunk.

Spreadsheets are a different kind of software with advantages and disadvantages compared to compiled/scripted languages.

How do you treat a spreadsheet as real software:

* One operation per cell

* Inputs, processing, and display separated into distinct sheets

* Every formula checked twice (or three times)

* Write row and column check sums

* Treat row and column locking ($F4 or F$4) as the footguns
they are.

* Name constants

Testing spreadsheets requires a different set of tools and behaviors, but to say that "quick and dirty" spreadsheets are less durable than "well engineered software" is really to say that "quick and dirty analysis" is less durable than "well engineered analysis."

Spreadsheets are remarkably easy to learn to use and to use correctly compared to scripted/compiled software. Not the least benefit being that they force abstraction in a way that is extremely intuitive to most people -- spacial context with the labels and state simultaneously displayed leads to much much lower context loading cost (for the human brain) than keeping all the abstract variables in your head when writing code.

Mr. Lemire seems to treat the tool as a toy then claim it is only good as a toy. Flub and not Flub languages alike can be run quite easily without unit tests, in which case they are no more durable to errors than excel (and arguably less as they don't display intermediate state).
I did give credence that a link shortening service may go away leaving some broken links, but the underlying web page is still there. And I agree that hyperlinks are better, but that isn't possible in all cases.
That was my interpretation of "all", but reading back it seems there's another difference:

"Although a majority of tweets are public, if scientists want to freely search the lot, they do it through Twitter's application programming interface, which currently scours only 1 percent of the archive. But that is about to change: in February the company announced that it will make all its tweets, dating back to 2006, freely available to researchers."
I was a vegetarian for twenty years, and I've also dealt with depression for all of my life. The most obvious question I'd have when looking at a correlation like that is, which came first?

In my case, I was spotted by guidance counselors as early as grade school for depression. It also correlated with my high test scores, creativity, and inability to focus on "boring" work.

When I became a vegetarian at age 15, it was as much a reaction to my surroundings (an Iowa farm town) and worldview as anything else. As a creative, bright, curious, kid, possibly dealing with low levels of depression, it's not too surprising that by 1986 I was a massive fan of The Smiths. The album Meat is Murder, combined with my social alienation, and not a few cows looking at me with their big ol' eyes every day, turned me into a vegetarian.

I don't think my depression increased when I gave up meat, at least not any more than it does for anyone going through their late teens and early twenties.
By my thirties, life had improved, and so had my psyche. I was still vegetarian.

At age 35, I took stock of my vegetarianism, and decided I was no longer doing it for the reasons I had begun, and it had become something I only did because others expected me to. So I started eating meat. Now that I've been an omnivore for a few years, my mind works the same way it always has. With every year that I mature, things get better, but it's a trajectory I was on long before I changed my dietary habits.

I know the OP said that they were only pointing out correlation, not causation, but it seems clear to me that it's worth considering whether people who struggle with depression are turning to vegetarianism, rather than the other way around. There are so many variables and factors involved, it seems silly to make any statements about vegetarians and mental health at all, positive or negative.

I think tools like MATLAB could bridge the gap between spreadsheets and general-purpose programming/data analysis. It has the huge standard library Excel users want, a REPL for prototyping, visual data inspection, and the ability to very quickly create charts and figures. The scripts are also easy to share and it doesn't involve use of the command line unless you want it to.

Anyone want to teach "MATLAB for Bankers"?

It strikes me as rather odd that a discipline in which a person purports to be on solid analytical ground would eschew learning how to write their research and modeling code in Fortran, C, C++, Scala, Python, etc. I can't think of a single colleague of mine, when I was in academia, who did not know how to write code in at least one of the languages you mentioned. That's because such knowledge is necessary to do rigorous, proper numerical computation in an analytical discipline like math, a variety of sciences and, yes, economics.

The "GIGO" issue you note is irrelevant, but even if it weren't GIGO is compounded and amplified by the copy-and-paste paradigm of spreadsheet "programming", so if anything bringing up GIGO is even more damning of the use of spreadsheets for analytical work.

That's not true. Uber is ahead on some basic features like being able to track the progress of the approaching car and seeing the driver's photo on your smartphone. Also, I think they still provide drivers with rates that increase when demand rises. So they compete by providing better perks for both drivers and riders.

Yes, that was the book!

This also reminds me of a Martin Amos novel "the information" (based on the publication date, I'd guess I read it around the same time I was learning the stonewall attack). There's a section where one writer is determined to defeat his friend at everything (tennis, chess, a few others), and he hires people to help him.

The chess teacher, I believe, teaches him something that sounds like the stonewall defense, and reflects that it almost feels like he's teaching someone to cheat at chess rather than play it. The writer isn't cheating of course (at all), but I think it feels this way to the chess master/instructor because he's learning the stonewall because he doesn't really want to engage in the actual competition. He wants to sidestep it in order to win.

I'm not trying to knock the queen's pawn defense, more the way I (and this writer) were trying to use it. I'm sure queen's pawn openings can be very creative. But in my case, this is why I considered my buddy's play of the kind's pawn a "satisfying ending." I was (to use the tennis analogy) using a pusher's approach. When you watch two people playing a game, and it's clear that one person is trying to win by shutting down the game rather than really playing it, you tend to root for the person going for creative play.

I think it was a strange way of saying that $1-10 may not be cost-prohibitive to financially-comfortable residents of 1st world countries, but could certainly be cost-prohibitive to users with less financial resources or from 3rd world countries.

TL/DR; a flimsy write-up on why he did not like Go, followed by a good write-up on what's great about Haskell when you just start to use it.

Again this underlines some ideas I have about both Go and Haskell:

* Go is great from a commercial perspective; easy to learn/understand, but nothing ground-breaking.

* Haskell is great from a technical perspective; ground-breaking all over the place, but takes an investment.

I believe the Haskell investment is one that every serious programmer should like to make as it should make your both work easier _and_ more fun.
"And there are no GUIs (yet) that actually make git easier to understand (as opposed to making some known git workflows less labor intensive) -- I also hope for this in the future, but it will require a more fundamental redesign of git's interface and terminology."

I heavily disagree with this.

When I started heavy use of git branches, being able to actually visualize what a branch is (e.g. just a pointed, as the article points out), being able to actually see the various branches merging into each other, it all just made my life easier.

When I used to explain git to our new employees, it was in the CLI, but I quickly moved to explaining it GUI-first because I could teach all the concepts much more quickly and they clearly understood better that way.

At first I wasn't doing the plant-based diet right, I was just eating meatless. Then I began replacing meat with the prepared meat analogues you'd find at the grocery store as I was trying to round out my nutrition.

Once I knew this was going to be a more long-term thing I began exploring vegetarian cuisine a lot more. Once I was out of college and working from home and was able to cook from home so it wasn't until I was a vegetarian for about five years before I started being more intentional and well-rounded in my diet.

I'd recommend anybody trying out diets to get plugged into a community where there are fresh and relevant recipe and lifestyle ideas being discussed. I was 'in isolation' just doing my thing for the first half decade, then I discovered /r/vegetarian and /r/vegan and my life has been a lot richer because of all the great ideas I can use to spice up my life. I wish I had (bothered?) gotten plugged into that sooner!

No major systems language has emerged in over a decade, but over that time the computing landscape has changed tremendously.

(...)

We believe it's worth trying again with a new language, a concurrent, garbage-collected language with fast compilation. Regarding the points above [cut on edit]:

* It is possible to compile a large Go program in a few seconds on a single computer.

* Go provides a model for software construction that makes dependency analysis easy and avoids much of the overhead of C-style include files and libraries.

* Go's type system has no hierarchy, so no time is spent defining the relationships between types. Also, although Go has static types the language attempts to make types feel lighter weight than in typical OO languages.

* Go is fully garbage-collected and provides fundamental support for concurrent execution and communication.

* By its design, Go proposes an approach for the construction of system software on multicore machines.

> According to constructor theory, the most fundamental components of reality are entities—“constructors”—that perform particular tasks, accompanied by a set of laws that define which tasks are actually possible for a constructor to carry out. For instance, a kettle with a power supply can serve as a constructor that can perform the task of heating water .... “You simply say that the task of creating energy from nothing is impossible.”

Looks like someone is getting into OOP:
