Better than the old one in what way?


I'm not zdc1, but they may be referring to the previous advice that included more grains than fruit and veg combined. From a design perspective, it is an interesting choice to mix food groups on the same level of the pyramid.

I have not seen the pyramid with bread, cereal, rice and pasta at the base pushed for at least ~20 years. Maybe it was 25-30 years ago when I saw it pushed seriously in school and even then I did not see people taking it seriously outside of those lessons, as in people actively calling it questionable.

Thats right. It was replaced 20 years ago by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyPyramid


Ahh. Maybe because I'm AU-based millennial, but the only "food pyramid" I was aware of was the grains-heavy 90s one that I would randomly see here and there, so that was my point of reference.


That is what I found on my quick search too. I am pretty sure I saw some alternatives to the bread, ... based pyramid before 2005 as well.


do you think they market those pyramids to adults, or to children?


I asked it else where but

> A person is most likely to see a food pyramid poster in an elementary or middle school classroom, cafeteria, or hallway, where it was commonly displayed as an educational tool during the 1990s and 2000s to teach nutrition.

the first one was in 1982 or something, so you have nearly 3 whole generations who were exposed to it (X, Millennial, and Z). I really can't tell if you're actually incredulous; because all the nutrition stuff is told to schoolchildren. Adults don't use a chart, they use self-help books.


Yeah, but 2000 was 25 years ago. There's multiple generations who haven't been exposed to it, so this is not replacing the food pyramid, it's replacing what replaced the food pyramid.


only 1 generation has completely escaped the one from "25 years ago" - Alpha; and another generation is incoming; and if the new poster sticks around, a couple of generations will see the new one, too.


> the first one was in 1982 or something

The first one came out in 1992, and was active until MyPyramid came out in 2005. Which was then active until MyPlate came out in 2011.


you're correct, my eyesight gets worse as the day goes on and i saw the second "9" as an 8. that only partially reduces the impact from my claim of X, Millennial, Zoomer; as i am gen X and i was still in "middle school" when the food pyramid came out, and my millennial sister assuredly was. the older Gen X (from the early 1970s) may or may not remember (as in an only child and childless until after the poster was no longer used) this from their younger years in classrooms.

My main point was (i think!) that really the only people seeing these posters on a regular basis are schoolchildren. I think i've seen the pyramid a dozen times in the last 20 years, on cereal boxes or websites or whatever, but if you don't recognize it, it's easily written off. Maslow also had a pyramid, etc.


I would be interested in knowing what cereal box you saw it on or where you saw it promoted seriously in the last 20 years.

In the late 90s I was in high school in a town with less that 80k people in the middle of the congenital USA and the pyramid with bread, cereal, rice and pasta at the base was not seriously pushed, or taken seriously, at school or when it came up outside of school.


This takes the American Oligarchy to the next level. Trump is now enabling his billionaire friends plunder another country, no doubt Trump will get a cut of the profits.


We need a way to set multiple SSL certificates with overlapping duration. So if one certificate expires the backup certificate will become active. If the overlap is a couple of months then you have plenty of time to detect and fix the issue.

Having only one SSL certificate is a single point of failure, we have eliminated single points of failure almost everywhere else.


You can do this pretty easily with Let’s Encrypt, to my knowledge. You can request resistance every 30 days, for example, which would give you a ladder of three 90 day certificates.

Edit: but to be clear, I don’t understand why you’d want this. If you’re worried about your CA going offline, you should shorten your renewal period instead.


Do services such as K8S ingress and Azure web apps allow you to specify multiple certificates?

Update: looks like the answer is yes. So then the issue is people not taking advantage of this technique.


I don’t think there’s a ton of benefit to the technique. If you’re worried about getting too close to your certificate expiry via automation, the solution is to renew earlier rather than complicate things with a ladder of valid certs.


There are reasons to do this, just not because of expiry.

The main reason to have multiple certs is so if your host (and cert prov key) is compromised, you can quickly switch to a backup, without first having to sort out getting a new cert issued.


If getting a new cert issued is some sort of thing you need to sort out, as in a process that takes time, you've already missed the target.


If you want a backup system its best if its self contained. When your site is down its easier to just run a single command to copy over a single file in your control instead of depending on an external service.


Exactly. It's not like backup certificate have validity starting at a future date.


Yes the backup certificate can have validity starting at a future date. You just need to wait till that future date to create it.


> We need a way to set multiple SSL certificates with overlapping duration.

Both Apache (SSLCertificateFile) and nginx (ssl_certificate) allow for multiple files, though they cannot be of the same algorithm: you can have one RSA, one ECC, etc, but not (say) an ECC and another ECC. (This may be a limitation of OpenSSL.)

So if the RSA expires on Feb 1, you can have the ECC expire on Feb 14 or Mar 1.


That's a lot of words coming from people who were against this very idea not that long ago. Before Let's Encrypt existed, 90% of you were violently against the idea. "No, that's not how it's supposed to work." That's how it was.


Also you may have to maintain code bases that don’t use your preferred subset.

And you may have to work with developers who have a different preferred subset.


Exactly!


I use it for my web site where SSR is critical for SEO. For app development I don’t use Nextjs. I think it is designed for web sites (as opposed to web apps) and it is great for this purpose


yep this is how i use it and it has worked out really great...sometimes i wonder what people try to do that they have all these issues


Absolutely agree. Leave well enough alone. If they keep adding features it is only going to get worse.

Didn't Meta donate $1m to Trumps bribery fund?


> They also have a team of full time react devs they are paying for.

For now. My guess is they will be included in the next round of layoffs. Money for $100 Million pay packages for AI researchers has to come from somewhere!


Did that turn out to be a good idea? Hooks are much reviled for a reason!


They're not reviled at all. They make logic encapsulation so much simpler.


Just know that that’s not a universally held opinion!
