Vegans may not be deficient but they certainly aren't anywhere close to optimal. That's why very few strength and power athletes are vegans or vegetarians. People who concern themselves with building lean muscle mass, like me, do

The Japanese eat far more seafood than tofu. They consume on average < 9 g of soy protein per day, a tiny amount. By comparison, a single egg has roughly 5 g.

Correction: a lot of meat. The diet was basically animal protein and vegetables. In their linked studies, the authors make it clear that offal in particular was consumed far more heavily than today. I guess it was cheaper than skeletal musc

Did you read the article? He has a particular definition of slave.

He said the "best" slave, which I understood to mean the most eager and hardworking, without even knowing he's a slave. Not the most oppressed slave. Of course my sympathies lie with the child in Burundi, and I don't pit

"The best slave is someone you overpay and who know it, terrified of losing his status." As I sit here entering my 12th hour of work for the day, this sounds remarkably legit.

What are some free and credible sources? I'm an Economist subscriber so I do pay for news.

You're focusing on the consumer space. The big promise currently is elsewhere - sensors, automation, warehouses (for physical goods), and so forth. This is especially true for data collection in physically challenging environments, lik

Also BC, Canada. Those Mitsubishi Delica vans are popular because they are camperized and have four wheel drive. It's amazing there isn't another option built for the domestic market rather than having to import fifteen year old,

This seems to me like a rational approach. You get what you pay for. Or to put it another way, if you don't pay for the product, then you are the product.

The video game Metro 2033 (recently remastered for modern consoles, so it's still around and relevant) envisions a typical post-apocalyptic future. People live underground, in subway (metro) tunnels under the cities, which are hellish

His software creates new top-level directories off root and this simply hasn't found wide acceptance among sysadmins. I've never seen eg daemontools used in the wild for this reason.

Does the Rust stdlib include concurrent data structures that make use of hardware-supported compare and swap? I'm thinking of an analogue to java.util.concurrent.

No, you are probably right, at least in most cases, particularly where shared memory is involved. I was mainly responding to what seemed to be an assumption that multithreading is the norm and everything else is freakishly rare. It's n

Thanks for that, I had no idea. Were those actual shared-state threads or processes? Just wondering about the use of "fork".

I agree that threads are probably the dominant form of concurrency in modern programming, but it's a relatively recent phenomenon. In pre-2.4 Linux kernels, for example, the threading was inadequate (remember LinuxThreads?) and the dom

This was the big problem with the Linksys fiasco some years back. The Chinese developers wouldn't give up the source and all Cisco/Linksys had was this binary.

Cris Cyborg is not the featherweight champion of the UFC because there is no featherweight division in the UFC. Rousey fights in the UFC. If Cyborg wants to fight Rousey, she has to come down in weight, leave Invicta and join the UFC.

The only band I came across in this fun captcha project that dates back that far is Saint Vitus. So in conclusion, there is no way metal peaked in '83. I'd say '94 myself.

Exactly. I'm not a Cobol programmer but I did learn it in school. From this limited experience and from speaking to some older guys who actually do it for a living, there's probably no language out there that's better at what

Sure, but it's still an agreement. There's a cross-cultural agreement that the US dollar is worth something too. I don't really see the difference, but I'm not an economist. That said, I wouldn't make baubles out of

But isn't it the case that gold has an arbitrary value as well ("they say it has value")? It has no intrinsic value. It just sits there.
