I've heard that plateauing is normal and that the solution is to increase the caloric deficit. If you're going to lose a lot of weight you'll hit a number of plateaus.

But as others have pointed out, 1200 calories sounds like a massive deficit. For the average, moderately active woman (requiring 2,000kcal per day) that would be a deficit of 800kcal, obviously way too high. I've seen 3.2kcal/lbs or 7kcal/kg of bodyweight recommended as a good deficit, which equates to 420kcal for a 60kg/132lbs person. As somebody else said, are you sure you haven't make a mistake in the calculations? This is very common mistake.

How do you define a 'serious program'?
I've a few such pieces, including this one. It might very well be true that people who believe they have ADD, actually have one or more other psychiatric problems. Many people who believe they have ADD don't, and many diagnoses are invalid.

Unfortunately it's hard to prove to someone who can't experience it that ADD exists. Its symptoms are too easy to explained away with quite a few different theories. Unfortunately ADD is not just another overmedicalized normal condition. Even though far too many well intentioned people who can't understand assert that it is.

I do have problems with anxiety and depression, and they are not untreated. They are related to but distinct from ADD.

And mindfulness can help, like it can almost anything, because it's a tool for controlling your thoughts. This can be directed as willpower. While not without side-effects, willpower can overcome most of the problems associated with ADD in high enough doses.
For whatever it's worth, you can read my article on dropping out of university two years in. However, this played out in the US, so it doesn't capture what I suspect to be a higher prevalence of official credentialism in Europe. Still, it might give you some pointers.

Bad analogy. The school-taught baker will almost always stomp the crap out of a self-taught baker. There are things you just can't learn at home, and how to bake at volume is one of them.
I'm self taught and have been a working developer for almost a decade now and a degree in computer science has nothing to do with anything from what I've seen. I've worked with guys with MASTERS degrees in computer science that couldn't understand how to get a "hello world" come up on the screen much less design a proper back end. I've also worked with brilliant guys who have CS degrees but also guys who are self taught like myself that are incredibly talented. The true difference (which is a point this article does make) is the love of coding. You have to love it to be good at it and you are going to figure it out one way or another if you do. In my opinion, its about getting out there and getting your hands dirty. There is more freely available resources out there than I can mention. Its a bit overwhelming but it sure beats throwing $50k (at least) in the hole.
For me going to school and majoring in CS was a exceptionally enjoyable experience. I did not think about jobs. I didn't even think of being a programmer. I took a liberal arts view to computer science - it taught me how to think about complex problems. And school was so much fun, both MIT and UC Berkeley. I remember feeling that I was getting smarter every day.
Are those numbers bad? Do you need to drive two 400mile legs without a 16hr break in between? For "road trip", yes, but those are rare as a portion of trips, and most people don't need to purchase on the need. And there are supercharger stations.

As a huge fan of his work I'm sad we don't get to see another reinvention of horror akin to what he did with scream.

Craven sort of puttered in the first 20 years of his career - first a professor, then a porn director (why not), then with a couple of smaller hits (last house on the left).

prior to Scream his big moment was clearly nightmare on elmstreet - he was 45 when it came out.

And I think the HN crowd that's gone through fundraising can relate to how this risky director with a big, crazy idea had to work to put it together:

"the film's original investors backed out at one point or another during pre-production. The original budget was merely $700,000. "It ended up at $1.1 million ... Half the funding came from a Yugoslavian guy who had a girlfriend he wanted in movies."[1]

How cool, will miss this guy who clearly brought the hustle.

Of course, for management it's less money they have to pay so they will always prefer a one man doing everything scenario.
Ahem. Buttonhole.
The existence of emulators is a big mitigator in software disappearing. As long as each generation of computers can emulate the architecture of the previous generation, there's a chain that can read any file format. Heck, my web browser can emulate Kid Pix and read its file format: https://jamesfriend.com.au/pce-js/. And speed isn't an issue since parallelizing file conversion on billions of files is trivial in the cloud.

Now, _data_ integrity being dependent on the continued existence of a single corporate entity is another issue altogether. But as long as your bytes are backed up personally on the latest generation of physical media, the bytes of the software you use to access them are backed up personally, you have a specification of the hardware architecture needed to run that software, and you have a chain of emulators that reach back to that architecture, then you're fine.
No. It is exactly how to describe it. Energy in vs energy out.
See I wanted to make the opposite of this, software that would obfuscate your writing style so that forensic analysis like that wouldn't work. It would be able to analyze a corpus and give you suggestions on how to sound more like say Leibniz or Hemmingway.
In addition to the sonic characteristics of the earlier tunings, an important practical factor was that the tuning procedure could be carried out successfully by the keyboardist prior to every performance, since instruments went out of tune quickly before the modern piano.

Hrm, sounds interesting. How are you buffering this, if at all?
Your individual experience will vary with the company, but here's some generalities about product management.

First, product manager != people manager. Despite 'manager' in the title, a typical product manager is an 'individual contributor' with no direct reports, just like a typical developer. Every company's title structure is different and titles and reality are often disjoint, but you'll generally won't get to do people management until you're a 'director of product management' or at least a 'senior product manager'.

Being a product manager is similar to being a people manager in that you won't be doing any coding any more. If you want to code, stay a dev.

Early-stage startups generally don't need product managers - one of the founders is almost always the de facto product manager. So by becoming a product manger, you're effectively saying 'I don't ever want to work for extremely small startups', because those guys just aren't going to hire you. Be aware of that before you jump into it.

Salaries are generally the same as developer salaries - in some places a little higher, in some places a little lower, depending on how respected product management is at that organization. In my opinion, if you're just looking to get to an executive role and maximize your salary (and hey, nothing wrong with that), it's usually a bit easier to climb the ranks in product management. Although I can think of a few large companies where the opposite is true, generally competition is lighter and if you're good you'll get to advance more quickly. Note that 'good developer' does not necessarily mean 'good product manager'.

In some places product management has a lot of power and influence and the ability to really make strategic decisions on behalf of the company, and in other places they're overpaid administrative assistants doing meeting scheduling and filling out TPS reports. Whether you like it better or worse depends a whole lot on that.

Any specific questions, feel free to email me.
I actually found it a little odd that Beethoven was mentioned, since it he was a big fan of equal temperment. His 5th symphony was largely written to explore the idea. In well tempered tunings, you have to play around a central "root note" in order to get a harmonic melody. But in equal temperment, the dissonance is equally spread out across the notes. His 5th symphony was able to take advantage of that in two ways: by being an unusually dissonant symphony to begin with and by jumping all over the place, going from very high to very low, playing the same note repeatedly and yet having it sound the same no matter what key he went to. We're so used to it, however, I doubt most people could really hear the difference.

Wouldn't that be nice, rather than whining about numbers?

It's an informative article, but the reality is that nobody cares. And I mean "nobody" in the approximate sense of 99.9% of music listeners. The reality is that our brains are more than happy to glue these nasty thirds to their hypothetical frequencies. Sure, they have a little roughness to them, but it's not a big deal, especially considering that most piano music from the 18th and 19th century is composed not to highlight the weaknesses of temperaments.

Also, equal temperament isn't quite the final word on piano tuning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretched_tuning

I was diagnosed with ADHD AFTER college. I had always performed well in school so there was no cause for alarm growing up. But I was always a spacey kid--my mind would race all over the place and I had trouble focusing on one single thing. Except when I hyperfocus. Then I have a hard time hearing other people around me.

The worst? My mother was a psychiatrist. You'd think should would've caught it.

During college, I coped by making my life as busy and stressful as possible. That helped me get stuff done. I also play(ed) sports. Now I am in med school and I take medications as-needed. Med school is sufficiently challenging so I find it easier to focus now compared to my previous 9-5 programming job.

Anyone with increased heart rates and stress levels is likely also going to have difficulty processing others emotions. You don't need cocaine to do that.
Maybe not much from a safety standpoint, but it would be hard for somebody not to know they had just taken a third of a gram, unless the placebo also increases heart rate and causes flushing.

With the clichés of money, hookers and blow, the ease of excess partying habits can very easy and eventually kill most people. Felix Dennis nearly bought the farm in that lifestyle, many others weren't so lucky and/or weren't able to exhibit enough self-control.
It's interesting that people consider hyperfocus and lack-of-focus different. Essentially, they are two sides of the same coin.

ADHD is simply the lack of ability to control attention. There are drugs that work short-term, however long-term only methods of coping are really effective.

After reading everyone posts below, I figured I would direct you to my startup:

http://synaptitude.me

The startup (just applied to YC) that my team and I are working on actually addresses this issue using something called neurofeedback therapy:

http://synaptitude.me/blog/neurofeedback-in-200-words/

Effectively, your mind is like a programmable computer. Once you learn to recognize when you start losing focus, it's possible to program it (over time) to do something different. The idea being, neurofeedback therapy lets people better understand themselves and in-turn cope better.

After the brain has been reprogrammed it stays that way long-term (unless something else reprograms it).

If you are interested in reading more about neurofeedback, here's a literature overview:

Fortunately, the article lists the exact KB numbers for the updates in question, so if you don't want this "feature" to be backported to your OS, you can go ahead and disable those updates. At least for the time being, you can opt out of specific updates on Windows 7.

My Linux migration is almost complete... I only have a couple of apps that I need Windows for anymore, and I'm planning to build a new PC early next year that will be powerful enough to run them in a VM without discomfort. Five years ago, I told myself that Windows 7 would be the last proprietary OS that I'd ever use on bare metal. It looks like I'll be able to keep that vow :)
They're pushed as updates to the existing customer experience program. To see if you've already opted in, enter "customer experience" into the start menu search bar, it'll pull up the dialog.

Just like under Windows 10, if you are not opted in to the customer experience program, none of the data is collected or sent.

I do not know if the default was to opt in or out. I opted in when I went to Windows 8, with the hopes of being another data point showing someone completely avoiding everything Metro.

Aside from temperament, I had my piano tuner claim to me that tuning pianos is actually more complicated than that. He said that the high end of the piano had to be tuned different from the low end, with some explanation like how the hammer strike bends the pitch of low vs high strings (I wish I could remember the specifics of what he said, but this was many years ago).

I couldn't decide at the time if what he was saying was legit or if he was just trying to convince me that I needed to hire him again instead of just buying an electronic tuner and a wrench.

Yup. And partying people forget what other meds they're on, what else they've taken/eaten, how much they weight. (How often do people measure, log how much or test potency? Never.)

It's actually a complex debate. We as developers naturally gravitate to a role like this because it's in our nature to believe that we can solve all the tech related problems. And all other problems, we believe can be solved with tech and therefore we believe we can solve everything. Ok. That's an exaggeration but there's quite a large shred of reality in that statement. Being fullstack/devops/<insert fancy term> satisfies that craving to jump on to new problems that we developers have.

And that CAN be a problem. It isn't necessarily always a problem. But think about it. How many of us prefer jumping up to try working on a brand new project. Shiny stuff everywhere. And then everything gets abandoned at the grind and polish stage. The enthusiasm is gone. We crave the next new problem that we can use as an excuse for jumping away from the grind we are in. I think what the author is trying to get across is that this new "devops" culture is creating a large number of developers who don't have deep knowledge of anything. Ask a developer (myself included) to evaluate a set of JS frameworks for a particular project which has somewhat specific requirements. Behind most answers (this is based on observation, myself included again) the primary argument will be the developer's preference; not an objective breakdown of what is most suited for the task. We might not see too much of this on HN (I think. I see a lot of intelligent debates here which I learn from all the time) but on a larger scale developers are becoming half baked.

And that's basically the other side of what you pointed out. Problem solving, learning new things is a lot of fun (discovering and configuring vagrant and docker for the first time was incredibly fun). But it possible that the full stack role is churning out people with broad but just somewhat in depth knowledge. Tough call. Question is, is somewhat deep deep enough for most everything?

Depends on the medication, dose, and your personal physiology. I was on a low dose dextroamphetamine as needed for a while. Then life got stressful and I found myself getting mild anxiety from it. I switched to Vyvanse which dextro packaged for extended release (lasts for 14 hours). Vyvanse did not induce any jitters but would keep me up late if I didn't take it first thing in the morning. I switched to a different extended release dextro that lasts for about half the time as Vyvanse. That's worked out well because I can take it in the afternoon without jeopardizing my sleep.

As a rule of thumb though I don't take stimulants on a regular basis, just as needed. Don't want to become dependent.
