I'm missing something here. Is the point of this system to use the same floating point value in several different places without storing it in several different places? Why not just use a pointer?

Great! Common ground.

As I mentioned in my first message, I don't think there is a single "the culprit," I think it is a large and complicated problem with many interrelated causes.

But let's even suppose you're 100% right and the things I mentioned have absolutely nothing to do with the black crime rate. One thing that's pretty much irrefutable is that the vast majority of black America (and many white Americans, such as myself) believe they are a factor. This means that taking active steps towards solving them (which we already agreed should happen) will help build trust between groups, making it much easier to work together towards solutions.

Security updates and bloat are some reasons. If there is a serious bug in glibc a single OS update usually fixes it.

If you installed 20 applications with their own statically or privately stashed (but still dynamically linked) glibc versions, unless you have an agreement with the app author/vendor it will be hard to maintain updates.

This might not matter for consumer applications but in large environments (banks, DoD etc, this matters).

Not saying I agree or advocate that way is better and nothing should be changed, I am just presenting what the typical arguments are.

The mass is almost almost almost conserved in chemical reactions. By special relativity, the energy/heat that produces the reaction should come from a extremely slightly difference of mass between the reagents and the products. The difference is so small that in any chemical class and chemical application you just assume that they are equal. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_mass#The_mass_a... )

For example, a person consumes approximately 2000 kcal/day of food. The calculation is more complicated, because not all the energy is used. But for the sake of the argument, let's assume that the person just use all the 2000 kcal and they are lost as heat, work (lifting a heavy object , moving the air, moving the water while swimming, ... )

Using the famous E=mc^2 equation we have that m=2000 kcal/c^2 = 9E-8 grams = 3E-9 ounces. That's very small and is not useful for a diet, but it's not zero.

Yeah I know they're basically the same which is what makes this hard. And energy stored in chemical bonds has gravity just like some tiny amount of mass would. But if someone is asking for the difference between mass and energy, I wouldn't put that on the mass side.

I don't think you're missing anything, but I think you (as many have before) are forgetting about one of Rails earliest and biggest selling points: curation of best practices for creating specific kinds of applications. While the ease with which skilled practitioners can configure the framework to work well for an API-driven application is a testament to its flexibility, the out-of-the-box conventions have been in need of some love for awhile.

I don't think this is a huge deal, but it will definitely be nice to have official support for this configuration.
I've thought a lot about this as well and think what you presented is good.

I'd like to add the one problem that has usually motivated me to think about this problem the way you have: Academic works can contain ideas or data that becomes outdated or is found to be incorrect.

If you're not an expert in a niche, it's hard to sift this out when you come across it. It seems intellectually wasteful to have works that are, for example, 90% accurate and relevant, but have an idea that needs to be updated or tossed. An example of a field where I believe this happens too often is in economics.

Alone, I don't have the time to keep up and fact check everything I read, but collaborative editing could help a lot in this area.
I think Facebook do "nearly infinite scrolling" (to coin a phrase) as, IIRC, when you scroll for a while they stop and offer you a "load more content" button, possibly at year boundaries, maybe by number of stories shown, not sure.

Precedence: ordering or grouping?
Infinite scrolling makes sense only in one case: ephemeral, disposable content.

So, if you agree that your content isn't worth remembering/referencing later, go for infinite scrolling. Every visitor will instantly see the value of the site.

I believe your position is overly simplistic. It is quite clear that the power structure of the country (U.S.A.) is not concentrated in the working class. It's not simply a matter of 'change the law as a voter'. Besides, voters do not change laws, the elected representatives do. They often renege on their promises.

(2) is what some of think is wrong with the country and capitalism (as it is popularly thought of). Such a belief leaves unresolved the issue of negative externalities. Indeed, the problem with a degradation of workers' rights is one such negative externality.

The capacity of the American worker to vote against their self interest is quite high. Should the trend continue long enough we may find ourselves unwittingly in a rather unpleasant society.
Yes but at least everyone, for the most part, would be in agreement to what constitutes proper use and misuse of the buttons, which we don't have now.

More importantly, the votes could be used differently in calculating the comment display order. People could still feel they have an outlet to easily disagree without replying while not having their votes bury useful comments.
So your task is to do the same in this bubble :-)

Forgive me if that seems a bit snarky but her point is not "you want it" but "deeply thinking about the problem." And when you do that, and you discover that the solution you have to a problem seems to be wildly over valued with respect to your understanding of it, you sell out because you know that when the market stops being irrational that value will evaporate.

If you come from Asian culture, you'll realize that the poorer will prefer foreign men if for no other reason than for socioeconomic reasons, and for a well-to-do girl where this factor is nonexistent its pretty well known that both genders have a strong preference from their own country (not just for any "Asian").

6 billion people, each burning 2000 calories per day equals 12 trillion calories.

6,000,000,000 * 2,000 = 12,000,000,000,000

But wait, those are Kcals.

6,000,000,000 * 2,000,000 = 12,000,000,000,000,000

1 calorie is the energy required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree C. There are about 4404.8838 grams in a gallon.

12,000,000,000,000,000 / 4404.8838 = 2,724,248,934,784.61

So this is enough to raise 2 trillion gallons 1 degree, or raise 1 gallon by 2 trillion degrees Celcius.

2,724,248,934,784.61 / 100 = 2,724,248,934.78461

Or boil away 2 million gallons of water. Per day.

The health benefits of exercise come from "conditioning" sessions, not watching some ill-informed calorie meter. Exercise makes you fitter and healthier by hitting progressive overload. Meaning it has to be difficult, nay unpleasant, and thus done rather infrequently to allow plenty of recovery time.

cbass.com has this stuff dialed in. One im-gonna-puke strength session a week and one difficult endurance "cardio" session makes a ton of sense to me, when you take in the literature. Much more and exercise starts to look like a net negative in many ways. Suggesting to a fatty that they jog five times a week is at best a waste of time and at worst actively harmful.

I don't know why the parent thinks it's wrong, but I think it's wrong because it's a statement that works at the wrong level of abstraction.

Yes, it's quite true that in physics, mass cannot be turned into to energy. But the article's not talking about physics; it's talking about biology, and in biology, fat can be turned into energy --- that's why your body makes it.

Yes, of course it's not a nuclear process. The fat's metabolised into energy and waste products, which are excreted mostly through the lungs. Also via the skin, urine, faeces and any other bodily fluid --- one byproduct is water.

'It's turned into energy' is actually the right answer if you're thinking about biology. It's just not a complete one. The article would have done much better to have instead said 'you're right, but' and then gone on to explain, rather than just saying 'if you think this you suck'.

What about rubbing? I mean, when you rub against stuff (even wind), some of your cells get taken off. I'm all for peeing, pooping, and breathing, but how much weight do we lose just through simple friction? And if it's significant, should we employ more rubbing in our daily exercise routines?
Yes, moving 200 people (and probably also 2,000 or even 20,000) is easier than building the required infrastructure to grow food for them. But after a certain point moving more people grows costs approximately linearly where as growing food via modern farming does not.

That's how modern rich countries like the USA can be net food exporters while employing less than 2% of the population (you will find similar figures in other developed countries). A village of 200 people in the middle of nowhere probably can't be fed by 4 farmers regardless of how much equipment they have.

It is possible to do reverse infinite scrolling well. I did it for Snapguide. https://snapguide.com/guides/

The tricky part is inserting the previous content. It requires a combination of setting overflow:hidden on the container to disable the scrollbar, inserting the previous content, adjusting the top positions, then re-enabling overflow to restore the scrollbars. It has to be done very quickly to avoid visible content jumps and getting it to work well across browser platforms wasn't easy.
I find it interesting to review and contrast the architecture of super computers with modern day processors.
