News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Vic 20’s crappy cassette tapes are probably why I became a network admin instead of a programmer: 9 times out of 10 the cassettes never actaully saved my hours long programming sessions.
It’s half the mass ;)

The simplest and most accurate statement is that it’s an emergent result of the principles of capitalism combined with human nature and not a plot to keep us down.

Science doesn’t reinvent itself every couple of years either: new discoveries build upon a foundation of old discoveries. Software is more like the fashion industry.

I gave myself the title “IT Janitor” because for years all I did was clean up other people’s $4!7. I automated everything I touched, and told people it was so I would have more time to surf the Internet. Now I’m over 50, in the Innovation group, and dreading ever having to find a new job. But I’m having fun: blockchain, robotics, mobile app dev, and now NLP.
Prove him wrong, doing it this way only proves that people are irrational in the face of criticism
Yeah, it allows for unlocking without inserting a key or pressing a button.
Re:Type 2 diabetes: NHS to offer 800-calorie diet treatment on Friday November 30, 2018 @03:03PM (#18572131)
T2 is related to glucose ingestion(sugar, carbs) NOT fat. Glucose spikes your insulin, and the continued, extreme spiking of insulin is what causes T2.

Type 1, maybe. Type 2, not at all. In fact, a ketogenic diet will reduce or eliminate the symptoms of T2.

You dont get keto acidosis by eating low carb, that is misinformation.
Actually, 25g total (including fiber carbs) would be low carb.
My take is that lower metabolism is just a lower ‘power saver’ mode for the body, and, like a computer, results in slower ‘processing ‘
Nor do the Inuit people. And until yhe introduction of the Western diet, they had very little cardiovascular disease.
Re:Gab.com goes down after GoDaddy threatens to pull domain on Monday October 29, 2018 @11:18AM (#18328172)
Conflating bridge building with public speech is not a good analogy: one is physics, the other chaos.

I do not like to see distasteful ideas put forth where i can see them, but what happens when our opinions on what is distasteful are in opposition?

It is Gabs right to, but not a responsibility to block content they find objectionable on their platform. And the first amendment clearly defines our RIGHT (note:defines, not gives) to say whatever we want, no matter how distasteful some may think it.

Edit for fumble fingers

Re:Gab.com goes down after GoDaddy threatens to pull domain on Monday October 29, 2018 @07:30AM (#18326568)
Gab can reasonably claim safe-harbor over this. If they are not censoring user’s posts, then they shouldn’t be held liable.

Go-Daddy is 100% within their rights to kick Gab off of their service. But silencing certain speech is not, in my opinion, a smart way to prevent atrocities like this in the future.

So what? Mice dont normally eat fatty foods anyway.

I guess ethics dont factor into Chinese censorship?
So if a board position opens up and a male is denied an opportunity solely on hos sex, how will CA reconcile the lawsuit?
MS? Not! There’s too many of us older geeks that still remember MS and their attacks on Linux.
Or maybe it is, and the adults actually won.
I dropped tv because of ads. Im about to drop Prime because of fucking ads before shows. Netflix would lose out too.

Mainly because gay men and IV drug users were disease vectors.
Seems to me its a form of cargo-cult development: its what the ‘great’ hackers did, so we must do it to become a great hacker too.
Or they remember the 90’s and early 0x’s. MS has made a mess of many a fine piece of software in their efforts to ‘integrate’ it with their other offerings.
Because it creates a stable, growing society.
Except for the surge in singles males that would be a direct result of polyamory.
Did t we read here a week or so ago the All the H1Bs were leaving for Canada?
