And I submitted it in 2017 but it didn't get any traction. Glad to see it again!

Remember that the average medical doctor does not take even ONE human nutrition course as part of their undergraduate or med school studies. They clearly have enough background to understand the complexities of human nutrition, but most hav

On a teacher's salary? Not likely.

Who cares? This is the sort of thinking that leads taxes to be stressful.

I'd disagree that filing taxes is "awful". For most of my adult life, it only took me one hour per year to do my taxes. Form 1040-EZ, filled out on paper.

The rumors I've heard are that Nvidia wanted to use TSMC's 7nm process for Ampere, but AMD had bought all their spare capacity, so they had to "fall back" to Samsung's 8nm. I suspect this is why Ampere is gonna run

My anecdata agrees; I received the email and _vaguely_ remember maybe having done this at some point. Certainly it's nothing I want to keep, whatever it is. Yet when I visited the Classic Sites Manager it shows nothing. ("0 owned

I hope this doesn't turn out like the ban on single-use plastic shopping bags in Austin. Many grocery stores "complied" by replacing the single-use bags with much thicker "reusable" plastic bags. So now customers st

Google results are "bubbled" based on the search profile they have on all of us, but I don't think it makes this technique any less useful.

The _practice_ does not bother me at all. I'm a big fan of abstracts, executive summaries, top highlights and posting TL;DRs of your own work. I do it all the time for my own writing and think it's just good practice. What bothers

I "participated" in a less nefarious strategy. In 2010, when the collection of short stories "Machine of Death" was about to be released, the editor Ryan North asked us not to pre-order. Instead, he suggested that we all

Yes, but reality also has a lot of established patterns for minimizing that latency so people can play together live. Musicians in an orchestra pit or on a football field visually synchronize to a shared clock -- the conductor visibly keepi

My team has used a KeePassX database in a private git repo. Others use a company-wide install of Thycotic. For other cases we have a company-wide install of Hashicorp's Vault, which has a secret-wrapping/sharing feature.

I don't think VR is any better than just video chat for socializing, and nobody has it, including you. I have a VR rig but never use it (because it requires me to reboot into Windows) and the vast majority of my friends don't have

I spent 20 years as a public school teacher and am still active in the Advanced Placement Computer Science teacher community. This is good stuff, and very well-regarded by my colleagues. Depending on the age of your kids, https:/&#x2F

Way to make my point for me. The science is settled, but like everything else, untrained people can't tell the difference between a good study and a bad study, and the media reports on them all. Check out the book _How Not to Diet_, wh

My wife gets this a lot with nutrition. She has a freaking PhD in Nutrition Science and also is a registered dietitian but god forbid she suggest that maybe bacon isn't the mostly healthy of foods in most subreddits.

Yeah, but there's a huge gap between current RDA and toxicity. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-h... 4000 IU per day would probably help a lot of people and is still an order of magnitude

I'd never heard of Gripeless before this thread, but I can agree with your reasoning. We use HotJar's free plan on an interal (engineer-facing) tool and we get very very few reports through it because engineers don't realize

I've reached an age where I have trouble reading small fonts, and often zoom the web page to be readable. In fact, I have HN permanently set to 125%. Yet even I thought the font was too big in this one. I _didn't_ have to shrink t

It's a bit more than that. I'm a vegetarian, so obviously I have a bias, but I think it's objectively true that the beef industry in America is in a pretty bad place. I consider it "horrific", personally, though rea

That's pretty misrepresentative of the events. Yankovic _thought_ he had gotten permission and when he later found out Coolio hadn't been consulted he was mortified.

I feel like the word "crypto" is similarly being pushed away from its original meaning.

So now there's a legal definition of one of those words to confuse the issue even further! :)

I agree with you! But while we're being pedantic, I should complain that I don't like "tomato/fruit" analogy since the categories "fruits" and "vegetables" are not mutually exclusive. There'

So if you need a beta tester for a Linux client, you know who to ask! And I just double-checked and it looks like I'm only backing up a little less than 2TB in Crashplan after all.

Goodness, I wish Backblaze had a Linux client. I pay for Backblaze for my wife's Windows workstation _and_ a second license for her Windows laptop, yet I'm stuck with CrashPlan for Small Business to back up my Linux workstation. A
