news@lemmings.world•There’s a new leading cause of cancer death among people under 50, study finds (Colorectal)English
5·3 days agoThe release did not detail potential reasons for this rise in colorectal cancer deaths, though a representative for the ACS told NewsNation that researchers were looking into “diet and obesity for sure.”
This echoes previous findings from the ACS, as well as the opinions of medical experts who attribute at least some instances of colon cancer in young adults to “diet, decreased exercise and poor lifestyle choices like increased smoking or drinking,” Dr. Dana Hayden, a colon and rectal surgery specialist with UW Health in Madison, Wisconsin, said in 2023.
“But there are definitely some other factors that could be related to genetics, that could be related to tumor biology,” Hayden added. “So, we are trying to work very quickly to figure this out.”
What you did was a mistake.
-
You are not stupid. You are not crazy. You did something you wish you could change and are blaming yourself.
-
You have not ruined your life, but if you let this hang over your head, it will ruin things until you forgive yourself and move on.
-
If you can make things right (apologizing, asking for a second chance, etc.), do it. If you can’t get things right, then accept that you can’t fix the past, but you can fix today and the future by learning from your mistakes.
-
You’re not going to find another person like him. Just like YOU, he’s one of a kind. That does NOT mean there aren’t others you can have a happy relationship with. That also doesn’t mean there could be someone better out there who could make you happier. But if you wallow in self-pity, you might miss out on finding that person.

12·3 days ago“Students now are trying to prove that they’re human, even though they might have never touched AI ever,” said Erin Ramirez, an associate professor of education at California State University, Monterey Bay. “So where are we? We’re just in a spiral that will never end.”
Yep. You’re guilty until proven innocent.

3·3 days agoIn medieval times, households simmered a large pot of split peas, water, salt, and scraps continuously over the fire, adding new ingredients daily to stretch limited food. Nine days old is likely an exaggeration, but it hints at how the stew might contain bits from previous days during food scarcity.
It means you are extremely poor.

Linux Questions@lemmy.zip•Question regarding power supplyEnglish
3·3 days agoIf you look in the upper left corner of that sticker you posted an image of, it says Model L300NM-01.
The Dell 300NM-01 (also listed as B300NM-01 or L300NM-01) is a 300-watt power supply unit (PSU) designed for various Dell desktop models, particularly in mini-tower (MT) form factors. If you haven’t added any hardware, it’s probably OK.
Here is a link to that PS on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/L300NM-01-PS-6301-06D-Replacement-Supply-H300NM-00/dp/B09JG2JDHM
I found it by searching amazon for Dell 300NM-01.
If you think I am up to something, search amazon for that.
If you have added more hardware or changed existing hardware (hard drives, DVDs, etc.)
you should use a power supply calculator to see how much power you need
Choose from any of these:

BESIDES, HOW WILL IT TASTE ON PEACHES?
Since you wrote b≥a, and not b>a, If b=a, then a=b, so the formula still applies, but it’s not an oval, it’s a circle. Technically an elipse has to have the semi-major axis (a) longer than the semi-minor axis (b).
But there is a detailed explanation of your question here:

However, Mojang has stated that even if players choose not to verify, it will not affect any previous purchases, entitlements, achievements, or gameplay history. It will also not impact the ability to play and purchase games, making it a requirement strictly for social interaction within the ecosystem.

1·10 days agoThe PDF states
A quant designs and implements mathematical models for the pricing of derivatives, assessment of risk, or predicting market movements.
As the knowledge necessary to perform such feats is not a part of the regular secondary-school math curriculum, facility with derivatives requires a level of quantitative (hence “quant”) training and skill confined to the mathematical specialist.
Where can these specialists be found? For Wall Street, the breeding grounds of future quants are the halls of academe, and more specifically, graduate departments of physics, mathematics, engineering, and (to a lesser extent) finance and economics. The favored candidates are holders of the degree of PhD, but not exclusively so.
I’m not sure why this would be posted to hacker news… it seems like economics or perhaps opportunities for graduate level mathematicians would be more appropriate…





Looking at the pros and the cons, it must be the opposite of CONstitution.
…I’ll see myself out.
