As I understand it, there's disagreement on how efficiently the body absorbs/digests the protein latent in protein powder. Especially when it's in a "dry" form most commonly found in protein bars. I totally agree re

You can make them with or without protein powder. But the main ingredients are creamy natural peanut butter, one of either local honey or local maple syrup, and "old-fashioned" rolled oats. Stir until combined 200g PB, 135g honey&

FWIW, if you're curious about the insights from somebody who's crusty enough to make their own protein bars :) If you care about avoiding "processed foods" in other domains and are consuming shrink-wrapped bars with a sh

I think the original poster was referring to staging the commit as their "thinking" step, not composing the message. Personally, my workflow is to make many changes, then use `add -p` and `commit` to create a series of small commi

I think we’re using different definitions of “progressive”. I’m using the dictionary definition “favoring liberal ideas”. I think you’re referring to big-P “Progressive”? Regardless of whether the temperance movement identified itself as “p

In the US, we used to amend constitutions fairly regularly (at the Federal, State levels, but I’m most familiar with Federal and New York), especially through WWII. With a few exceptions (the prohibition is the biggest one that springs to m

If anyone is curious, the new yorker had an amazing piece of long-form reporting on the earlier days of the pandemic, written near the end of 2020 [1]. Section 14 is about masks in particular. It goes into the history of the CDC, what the p

Super cool survey! And interesting results. Does anyone know if it shares how the answers were solicited? Every survey of this size has substantial sampling bias (which doesn't invalidate the result, just helps us to more rationally in

I've heard that General Magic [1] were the originator of the phrase "Cloud" (compute & data distributed across heterogeneous hardware). I went digging and found an earlier WIRED article on General Magic, using the word a

One simple (and perhaps actionable) way to express this idea. Say you're two parents who are very conscientious about wanting your child to have "good outcomes" in life (i.e. have a good schooling experience, go to a good col

Woah! I stand corrected, thanks. It seems you’re knowledgeable on this, do you know if MERGE useful beyond expressivity?

You’re setting up a false dichotomy. There’s no one input that’s responsible for 80% of a successful education. School funding is obviously dominantly important up to a point (they need books, rooms, teachers, etc.). Past that point, margin

You can do them individually yes, but you can’t do INSERT and UPDATE from the same SELECT CTE. Before, you’d have to either load the data in the client side or duplicate the CTE across two statements in a transaction.

The operation it's replacing is something like "SELECT, followed by UPDATE/INSERT". Implicit in that sequence is transmitting the selected rows over the network, and buffering the rows in-memory on the client side. With

Situations like these, with the right teacher, are great eye-opening moments for children. I still remember a unit in US history, in which we were asked to write an essay expounding on the evolving nature of woman's role in American so

Sounds vaguely reminiscent of Zeppelin's Bron Yr Aur (tuned CACGCE, iirc). The low C drones are so entrancing!

My guess is that it was less consistently profitable than a more typical cabin arrangement. The reality is it's harder to fully book a plane like the one you describe, than one with a distribution of seats that more closely resembles

It's true that Spirit has competed well recently. Spirit (and other airlines) innovated and temporarily enjoyed a large market share of a second modality of commercial flight (very low budget travel). But it isn't (and wasn't

You're right! I was lazy with my words, it's definitely the durability that he's concerned with. The word durable, from the quote, is even emphasized in the original text.

Warren Buffet has some quote on capital intensive industries like you say. "The worst sort of business is one that grows rapidly, requires significant capital to engender the growth, and then earns little or no money. Think airlines. H

Anecdotally (I have a friend in that situation), no impact as confirmed by their in-house recruiter. But it might depend on whether they were pre-allocated to a team (which I understand is very rare, but it does happen).
