Absolutely not sure but isn't starch just a long chain of sugars that we can break apart? Might not get it down to a monomer but certainly breaks it apart for the enzymes to have more ends to attack.

Allows for extreme precision tests of spacetime (thanks Einstein!) Amazing work

Assuming the paper is right and the title is wrong: Of course? Insulin is the hormone that regulates uptake of sugars and mastication releases simpler sugars by literally cracking bigger ones? Weve known that the digestion of carbs begins i

Vigna's RNGs are faster and as good statistically so it's not clear why you'd use PCG. They are a neat theoretical construction however I believe they have some serious flaws when attempting to split and construct multiple st

Agreed. Captures a lot of the issues you get at scale. Very solid book. Wish it had been out when I was still working on systems at cloud scale.

It isn't. That is, it's entirely dependent on what teams and groups you are in. Famously, Conway's law says you ship your org chart...

Forbid mandatory arbitration for b2c and b2smb Or forbid it entirely. What exactly is the problem with writing a law to stop an abusive practice?
548.
by nimish 6y ago
Or just amend the Federal Arbitration Act to deny the use of arbitration as a tool to suppress legitimate use of the courts to address remedies. In the meantime create a tool to allow for mass arbitration actions.

Easily fixable with an amended copyright act if necessary. Legislate!

by nimish 6y ago
SCOTUS interpretation of an act is case law. With a single legislative act, we need not worry about this or anything else, modulo constitutional issues which can also be fixed via amendments. No, it is not obvious that API is a "functi

So we do not have to have a decade of a case that could be rendered moot with a single act.

by nimish 6y ago
The solution here is to pass a law that exempts APIs from copyright, not to rely on a geriatric body of lawyers to interpret laws not designed around technology

You can view it as a personal decision or a community decision. Do we restrict the community for the individual or the individual for the community? Your feelings on this aren't universal and neither are mine.

Bingo. The plural of anecdotes isn’t data. Until there is a good study that controls for biases as well as expected side effects of severe disease like pneumonia, we can conclude nothing about the population

I remember using this in 2013/2014 and there were some serious bugs and issues with silos at load. I'm assuming it's proven scalability? The grain/silo virtual actor model was always cool though the project abandoned it

Very few things need to be run at line rate 1.5 million packets per second on 1gbit so the effort is just not worth it I'm not competent or eager enough to want to deal with, say, Path MTU discovery on my own

Glad I bought AMD years ago at $7 once they had a solid CEO like Su who can execute well. I have hopes that Swan can kick out the dilletantes. Too much engineering going on at Intel that doesn't translate to actual progress.

There's growing evidence that excess sugar consumption is at the root of many metabolic diseases including heart disease. It certainly doesn't hurt to cut down on sugar intake. Easiest to avoid eating added sugars and saccharine s

The mallard reaction does not rely on sucrose alone.

The rub is that extremely rare is not impossible. It's happened before with ephedra famously. Since this is basically an anecdote we cannot conclude anything on the population

Given we know aerosolization is a vector I'd take humidity to be confounded with something else. Even then, unless experiment reveals it you can't take simulations as anything except hypothesis generators. Serum vitamin d concentr

The major issue with XML is all the garbage built on top of it like SOAP, WS-* and horrors like XMLDSIG. Used purely as a markup language it's ok but you really don't want to be mucking around with stuff like canonicalization at a

This would explain "flu season" just as well as anything related to distancing or indoor air filtration : the lack of sunlight at high latitudes results in poor vitamin d production

It's not clear to me why we're focusing on killing people in Syria. What are we gaining from doing this?

At this point it's worth questioning why viral diseases are so prevalent in the winter in the Northern hemisphere and that they show a clear seasonality Would make a lot of sense to test vitamin d deficiency (Inc beyond RDA) vs immune

Why doesn't the browser implement it? That's all that was needed right. Just have the same confirm/deny for cookies as we have everything else. Done.

I mean, great? But sanitization doesn't seem to affect spread despite the obsession over cleaning surfaces. If the virus transmits in aerosols, as we have determined, does this 222nm light kill that? No. It shows a smear of virus on a
