And a quick follow-up post on Swing hyperlink labels (i.e. customized buttons). I’m using both in my own projects, pretty simple classes but they work as intended. https://news.kynosarges.org/2019/09/17/swing-hyperlink-label...

Yes, of course. I don’t disagree with that at all.

Are you for real? This is ridiculous. Obesity is a serious proven health risk.

Okay, now tell me what’s wrong about not being fat and diabetic. Note I certainly don’t endorse veganism where you’re missing out on essential fats and proteins.

While Dorsey is rather extreme, his lifestyle is a lot healthier than the average American’s or most everyone’s in the developed world. Eating junk food around the clock is really bad for you. Note that Dorsey isn’t fat and diabetic like so many people these days.

I’m not aware of any such relationship in Japan. The exhibition didn’t mention it, and I haven’t heard of it elsewhere either. I think it’s just decorative here.

They may have seen battle but if so as commanders from the rear where visibility to the troops was paramount. If they had seen actual close combat those elaborate decorations probably would not have survived. Also, there were many plainer helmets at the exhibition. I think a samurai expecting real combat would have chosen one of those.
Re:Samurai Helmets on Friday April 19, 2019 @02:10PM (#19701650)
That was the first and only one I had seen, too. I suppose there may be a few more but they certainly seem to be rare. This exhibition had no other examples. The helmet with a flame-engulfed dragon that was shown mounted on an armor suit comes closest.
Re:Tektosyne 6.3 for Swing Released on Wednesday April 10, 2019 @03:47PM (#19628133)
This is honestly a very inconsequential release as far as the project is concerned. But after JavaFX got split off from the general Java SE distribution following Java 11, it’s simply no longer acceptable for some small GUI application like the demo suite here to require JavaFX. Require tens of MB from a third-party site to run the demo app, or rewrite in Swing? Unfortunately, despite Swing’s relative inferiority the choice is clear.
Yes, due to upregulated authophagy, another point the study ignored.
Completely missing the point. Of course calorie reduction works as long as it is followed. But people have a very strong desire to regularly eat their fill. With intermittent fasting this is part of the diet by design. With daily calorie restriction it’s impossible. Compliance with daily calorie restriction always lapses over time for this reason, so people return to their former fatness. Intermittent fasting is possible to maintain for the rest of your life, daily calorie restriction usually is not.
