I'm not a biochemist, so I can't say with any authority, but presumably its to do with the 3rd antagonist and its impact on glucagon. Most of what I have heard is through Reddit co…

retaglutide is the next gen (3rd) GLP-1 which is in phase 3 trials now. It is a triple antagonist (current are dual GLP-1/GIP). It adds glucagon, and apparently that comes with not…

I've been on Zepbound for ~25 weeks now and one of the first things my doctor told me was that this was a lifetime drug. He pointed out that I had a choice, of lifetime drugs. I ne…

Others have made similar comments, but tree-shaking, symbol culling and anything else that removes dead code after its already been distributed and/or compiled is too late IMO. It'…

The article is about Rust, but I was commenting on dependencies in general. Things like --gc-sections feels like a band-aid, a very practical and useful band-aid, but a band-aid no…

I probably mischaracterized this as its been a while since I did more than trivial Rust. AFAIK its not possible to depend on only a part of a module in Rust though right? (At least…

LTO only gets you so far, but IMO its more kicking the can down the road. The analogy I use is cooking a huge dinner, then throwing out everything but the one side dish you wanted.…

IMO any system where taking a dependency is "easy" and there is no penalty for size or cost is going to eventually lead to a dependency problem. That's essentially where we are tod…

The thing I dislike about Waymo is other drivers. I've now had it happen twice that a car will fully blow through an intersection because they know a Waymo will slam on the breaks …

I looked into this last year, a significant part of the cost is in new hardware, both on the vehicles, but also sensors spread through the system. They all need commercial grade RF…

Tuition and non-tuition costs have both absolutely skyrocketed and made CSUs unaffordable for a lot of people. I went to Cal Poly, my entire freshman year was ~$6000 in 1997. It wa…

> "too cumbersome" and require re-uploading the same app package repeatedly, but it would work. This is true and "too cumbersome" is worth expanding on. Without specific targeting …

This appears to have been fixed since the posting. Links in the search results work again in lynx.

Not if you include CA state taxes and property taxes. You can pretty easily hit 50% somewhere north of 250k, which for a 2 income household in the bay isn't outlandish.

So don't look at it as percentages. Look at it as a question of how comfortable is your situation. I'm in roughly the same position as you tax wise. We pay slightly less, about 48%…

Chrome on iOS has some input handling issues inside the iframe.

To answer the 2nd part of the question: vmnix was the name of the Linux kernel module that was loaded during the Service Console's boot process. The terms "Service Console", "Conso…

Nope, that stuff is all gone with the ESXi product. The vmkernel can bootstrap itself now. Basically the old 1.0 - 4.0 process for _ESX_ was like this: * Bootloader * Linux Kernel …

vmnix aka Service Console aka Console OS aka the Fuzzy part, was part of ESX, which was discontinued with the 5.0 series of ESX products.

This is the sort of thing I hope to see a lot more of from Rust. Things that would traditionally be done in C/C++ moving to a new language with modern features. I'm very hopeful th…
