Why cant we get any of the new nice connectors on consumer hardware? The fact that you will have to get old enterprise hardware to get ECC and any kind of pcie drive connections apart from M2 is stupid.

I think verifying a signature is the lowest bar. If you update the software often enough you should have plenty of chances to do key rotation.

The worst part of eating almost exclusively plants is all the BS. At first they said I couldn't build muscle, so I started lifting weights. When I could deadlift 3x my weight and do 15 strict pull-ups my diet was not good enough for en

Oh I know. The Mediterranean diet is universelly associated with good health outcomes. It doesn't seem to matter how many youtubers there are explaining mechanisms why carbs or vegetables are bad for you... It also happens to align wit

I think outcome is the measure we should look at. With regards to disease and longevity there is nothing saying about 50-65% of energy from carbs has to be bad. What matters is what kind of carbs. Bulgur. Quinoa. Whole Rye. Oats. Beans. In

Which has 1. Nothing to do with saturated fat. 2. Nothing to do with the dietary guidelines.

A friend of mine has been visiting places with weird time related things going on, because it is interesting and takes you funny places. He has been to Lord Howe. Now I know why. He has a user account on HN. I will ask him if he wants to ma

Jeez. Have you had a look at dietary trends since 1950? The adherence to the modern guidelines were arguably better in 1950 than today. I am so tired of this crap. Energy intake increased by something like 400kcal/day since 1960. Mostl

Adherence to guidelines is laughably low in the developed world. The recommendations regarding fat hasn't changed in 30 years in most countries. FDA recommended limiting saturated fat already in 1980 (didn't bother looking further

Yup. I had a nutritionist friend (that I would trust with my life) look through one of her books and she groaned already on the 4th page.

I Had an issue with sixt (car rental). To unsubscribe I had to send a copy of my friggin passport to an address in Germany. I instead used GDPR to request a removal of all my data. That worked.

For those occasions you use GDPR if you are European.

For gui apps I consider flatpaks superior. I use opensuse Aeon desktop, which is an immutable distro where the main distro is minimal and all applications are either flatpaks or installed through distrobox (not unlike silverblue) It has wor

That depends on the size of the processor, surely. Socket sp5 is more than 3x the area of am5.

Now, I am European. This means I will never be able to understand American politics. But: isn't the 5th circuit crazy? I mean, crazy way beyond "USA doesn't understand why political control of the jurisical system is bad&quot

Oh, but this is not how meritocracy is ever viewed in a liberal democracy. Equality of opportunity is the defence on an unequal society. For the inequality of outcome to be fair and just, there has to be at least some kind equality of oppor

by bjoli 2y ago
Fair point. But: the way the modern meritocracy is motivated is that it is a fair system. It is the whole idea of the American dream. Work hard and you can go anywhere. Except some people have to work a lot harder and be a lot smarter.

I think you are underestimating how much being in an abusive relationship or even just poverty in general (poor people are more likely to be abused, so they're double punished) reduces your options and opportunities. This goes for ever

Impact is hard to quantify. There have been several occasions where someone who very well deserved a Nobel prize didn't get one. There are all kinds of reasons. Given he is mentioned in the reasoning he was probably considered. We can&

How does one get decent audio from a phone without a 3.5mm-jack? I am only half joking, and I know this is beating a dead horse. But sometimes you need to make sure the horse is really dead. If I sit with my phone and a pair of headphones w

I started self hosting things like that, and I am always surprised at how fast things get.

My parents do that all the time. The videos of their grandchildren take AGES to transfer. Meanwhile, my phone that is half the price does almost 8 gigabits.

Why do you presume murder is the only case where a government will use the genetic data? And why do you presume it will use it through legal means?

A relative id mine sent her DNA to 23andMe or something like it. I was angry then, and I still haven't forgiven her.

The guile source->source Optimizer is such a nice tool to see what is going on. Especially when writing macros. I really recommend Kent Dybvig's "the macro writer's bill of rights" to see how useful it can be.

It is being phased out. EU gave the industry an extended 6 month grace period this year to phase out the use of cadmium in qled TVs.

Yes. Today's messaging services require no skills whatsoever. Getting yelled at the first time you log in establishes pecking order and ensures people weigh their words. Discord doesn't have these kind of safeguards.
