I think programming or computer science in general is more similar to managing/designing a restaurant or packing luggage for a vacation than like it is to math or language. Those latter two are sometimes sub-disciplines, though. Our code might perform math operations or we might try to make really clean code that is readable in a prose-like manner. Maybe mark-up language coding would rely more on the language part of the brain.

A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19 - The Johns Hopkins News-Letter[^]

Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Johns Hopkins University

Some student at John's Hopkins did an analysis with the CDC's data. It got removed, but is still available in PDF. It showed no excess deaths. I read it, but didn't check the work, myself. Also, Dr Clare Craig (@clarecraigpath on twitter) does a lot of this type of analysis.

Eat nutritious (lots of veggies) and get into ketosis by keeping net carbs under 20 and maybe even under 10 grams a day. Watch protein intake, keep it around .5 * body weight in lbs = grams, otherwise that shit will basically turn in to sugar in your body. Also, learn which proteins absorb better. E.g. egg whites only absorb less than 20% and the rest turn to glycogen (stored glucose), whereas the entire egg is way higher. Weigh yourself every day, use a scale that sends measure to your phone so you can see it on a chart. Don't give a shit about calories eaten or burned. Just make sure you are eating zero added sugar. Do HIIT training and take long walks. It will relax you at night and lower your cortisol. 1.5 hours of serious sport, e.g. soccer or HIIT will burn about 600 calories, but again this is not for loosing weight it will make you feel good and may help you get to ketosis faster. Have a very large metal cup that you keep ice-water in. Do no drink coffee/caffeine, it raises cortisol. No more milk. It isn't doing your body good. It helps to get MCT oil (medium-chained triglycerides) which will convert into ketones fast and allow you to "fast" from carbs immediately. There are a few ways to consume it. Your snacks should include nuts/seeds that are low carb. Get extra light tasting olive oil and add it to everything, also sea salt. Eat the nut/seed snacks with organic peanut butter added (not the cheap skippy shit, because you will react to the pesticides from eating so much of it and it has added sugar). Get the ready to eat bags of spinach. They are your staple food. Cook entire thing in a big pot, add butter, salt to your liking. Cooking veggies can destroy some vitamins, but also brings out others. Learn which ones gain/loose due to cooking. Buy whole mushrooms (they are easier clean), slice and cook in a pan and add to anything. They provide more taste than most people think. These are just some ideas. You want to burn fat for energy instead of glucose. Most people have ~70,000 calories in their body in the form of fat, and only ~1,700 calories of glucose in their blood stream. A typical person has to keep eating throughout the day to keep blood sugar levels high or they crash. The best method is to switch your body to using fat as a source for energy to loose weight. This is ketosis. Also, start watching Dr. Berg on youtube. He has tons of presentations on keto diet and the science of it. Good luck.

Your answer brings up more questions. Should all cultures and people from other parts of the world be regarded as the same and have free movement in and out of any country? Should the United States have taken down its flag after being attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor so as to not appear nationalistic by defending itself? Have you ever gone on vacation to another country, and, if so, have you visited Yemen, El Savador, or Somalia? If not, why not and should you be considered xenophobic for deciding not to visit? If we are in fact all the same, then why are our laws so different? For example, why is the federal age of consent in Mexico only 12 years old?

Absolutely. Lots of evidence points to this. Svensmark and Shaviv were supposedly working together on a paper that explains the entire process. I always point people to this article: On Climate Sensitivity and why it is probably small | ScienceBits[^]

What do you mean by "Fascist"?

No, less safe. Our non-fire arms crime is also high. Firearms are the private citizen's equalizer against violent criminals.

I like the metro concept, however, the site looks too bright for my tastes. The eyes adjust exposure (pupils dialate or shrink like aperture on camera) based overall tones which is extremely high now and I feel like it makes it harder to decipher darker colors (including plain old black text) across the page as result. This leads to more eye strain I think. I would recommend a muted texture like the one found visual studio 2010 so that the overall tones would be reduced. For example, if I place a dark colored folder across the bottom of the monitor, my eyes immediately begin to relax. Otherwise, I like the simplicity of the new look.

D600 might be a better choice than D700 for most poeople given 700 doesn't do video. Otherwise, better auto focus would tilt the scales (if it is true).

Do I have a cooking timer? I think the microwave's does me well enough!

I read the first two articles. The first link is weak in that it doesn't actually address the underlying issue raised by gunfacts.info which is gun control doesn't reduce crime and that empirical numbers don't validate increasing gun control. The article at snopes.com makes the straw-man argument about absolute number percentage versus per capita in response to Ed Chenel (some police officer who clearly isn't a statistician). Big deal. We shouldn't require a super-sleuth analyst to discern whether removing private citizens' ability to protect themselves is a good idea or not. The second link is actually pretty off topic, and also relevant only to ancillary health issues--such as what procedures must mental health professionals follow in response to at risk patients. This article fixates on guns and which types HAPPEN to be used in deaths, albeit in very academic and intelligent terms. It sheds absolutely no light on whether or not crime is affected by gun laws. And, as a matter of fact, the Figure 1 doesn't indicate that homicides by guns were reduced by gun control. There is a LOT that is automatically assumed by liberals about society with not a shred of evidence in support of it. A great big assumption is the idea that gun control works. I say, the burden of proof is on them, not me, in the first place. Especially, if you read through the whole gunfacts.info and see the, yes, sometimes anecdotal evidence, and in other cases, pure statistical proofs, which debunk or elicit concern about every myth of gun control.

Your question is irrelevant and I don't even know if it is true. What we are learning is that gun control is another liberal fantasy measure to reduce crime. This excerp is from page 6 of the gunfacts.info pdf I linked to in my original post. From the inception of firearm confiscation [in Australia] to March 27, 2000, the numbers are: • Firearm-related murders were up 19% • Armed robberies were up 69% • Home invasions were up 21% The sad part is that in the 15 years before the national gun confiscation: • Firearm-related homicides dropped nearly 66% • Firearm-related deaths fell 50%

http://gunfacts.info This is a very exhaustively researched/cited paper (roughly 500-600 references) to answer the myths on gun control. What I found interesting is that with a strict police state in China, people actually make their own black market gun factories. Additionally, increasing gun control may have lead to an increase in violent crimes in the UK and Australia. Also, armed private citizen's make less mistakes than off-duty cops. It also points out that guns in the US are used FAR more often to prevent crimes. My best explanation for these findings is the false sense of control that big government types believe laws have over the population, as well as the incorrect assumption about human nature that says people are generally idiots that have no idea how to defend themselves. It also highlights that a bunch of big city police chiefs across the US were shocked at how relaxing concealed carray laws in fact didn't result in city-wide gun battles.

Crime is prevented by law abiding citizens brandishing/using guns FAR more than they are used to perpetuate crimes. Especially where concealed carry is allowed by law.

I think I read somewhere that it will not use Active Directory, precluding it from use by enterprises that have bought into the "bring your own device" philosophy.

It's all that water and fruitjuice you drink.

Fruit juice has tons of sugar just as soda does (non-diet). I'm willing to bet that fruit juice alone is a major cause of the fat-ass and lazy desease among kids. People think fruit = healthy => fruit juice is healthy and don't consider how many fruits went into actually making one cup of fruit juice.

Oddly enough, it began working. [edit: Now it stopped working. After adding a unti test, I can no longer step into the source code from the accessor object]. Very annoying. [FINAL Edit: solved] I came across a similar issue here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/556756[^] Way down at the bottom of the comments: 5/11/2010 at 7:24 AM ..solution: "add a breakpoint to the code." Works everytime now.

Can we no longer step into private accessor methods in Visual Studio 2010 during unit testing? The debugger just skips over the method instead of stepping into the private method via MyClass_Accessor class. I understand there are some issues with private methods in vs 2010's test framework, but is this problem I am having actually one of the issues? Thanks in advance.
