These units seem _incredibly_ low to me. Your skin can generate almost 3000 IU in just 15 minutes on the right day. Many doctors even recommend treatments of 150,000 IU or more, in one go to correct deficiencies (do not do attempt without a doctor's recommendation and supervision).

I do not doubt your experience, but it seems incredible to me that just a 5000 IU supplement gave you heart palpitations. Then again, I've also read many reports about incorrectly labeled products (e.g. milk, supplements, etc.) which contained far more D2 or D3 than what was written on the tin, causing toxicity.

Welcome to C# 9.0 6 years ago

I mean... if you go that route then I would say Kotlin isn't really ready to be used as a production language in most places due to the severe lack of tooling, especially when it comes to things like static analysis. Sure ktlint is there, but the rules library is lacking.

So from that perspective, Kotlin is playing catch-up.

since otherwise you can tell where a cable is broken or being tampered with by sending light down the cable and seeing how long before light reflects off the broken bit and comes back to the end.

IIRC at BSidesLV last year there was a vendor selling optical splicing modules which were rather difficult to detect using this technique.

There's the theory of Vitamin-D deficiency. It would make some sense given NYC's climate and time of year. In LA, people likely are exposed to the sun year round. It would be interesting to see if other respiratory illnesses exhibit a similar pattern between these two cities, as I understand Vitamin-D levels have an affect those as well.

But also, NYC is considerably more dense, so diseases spread far more rapidly. Especially so considering heavy public transit use versus, what I would say is, extreme overuse of personal vehicles.

That's interesting-- I hadn't heard that sugar or salt might counter satiation. I have seen a bit of correlation between sugar intake combined with fat intake, though. Which makes sense some given fast food menu items (high fat food + a soda).

Do you have any links to papers about salt and fat counteracting satiation?

This isn't always true, though. History of full of examples of people returning to "wrong" ideas only to find them not wrong at all.

Could it be that, at least some, university teach programming languages with the idea that Lisp has this feature? My PL course at Northeastern had SHLAC (Scheme Has Lambda Calculus) where we started with an identity function and built up from there.

No it's not? There is a venerable plethora of pirated content. There are less than 2 dozen presidential candidates. If there is some override table which was manually updated, then the person who updated it, at minimum, did not perform due diligence to ensure that all candidates were listed.

Who defines what "good enough" means? Is it basic functionality? What if that basic functionality contains security vulnerabilities? What if it is written in such a way that will cause potential, foreseeable problems down the road? What if it is written in such a way that it is only understandable to the author? What exactly is "good enough?"

Why do users need to have a 3rd party managing their identity? It seems like it would be _safer_ if users could setup their own OAuth infra which would then be certified for use with other systems. For people who lack the expertise or will to roll their own infra then they can use something like Apple ID.

The way blockchain is currently implemented, a distributed ledger for currency necessitates having a chain that grows bigger and bigger. But one could have a distributed ledger which doesn't keep a record since the beginning of time. The ledger could only be valid for, let's say a week, and everything before then is just lopped off. It would still be large, but it wouldn't be gigantic.

The child didn't choose to be in existence. Being born shouldn't equate to some sort of servitude until your parents pass.

In many countries, the parents are legally obligated to provide those things until the child comes of age.

You have no information about the parents or the child to make any reasonable assertion on whether or not someone should show gratitude. For example, the parents could have provided an abusive home, and scraps of food.

It's a bit more complicated than that, no? I mean... if someone is a Londoner born and raised but has to leave in order to buy a home is a bit more complicated of a situation than "they picked a particularly expensive market" to live in.
