>the fact that Windows 7 wasn't all that different from Vista

Say what now? I don't know if you remember but Vista had really high hardware requirements. When Vista came out, it was fundamentally unusable for me. Hardware requirements is literally the first section of criticism in Vista's Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista#Hardware_require...):

>For example, Mike Nash (Corporate Vice President, Windows Product Management) commented, "I now have a $2,100 e-mail machine" because his laptop's lack of an appropriate graphics chip so hobbled Vista.

Windows 7 made substantial performance improvements in comparison to the widespread hardware incompatibilities that Vista had.
Quite a few people do keto long term for overall health or maintenance after weight loss (or without weight loss in the first place). I have never used it for weight loss but those who do often talk about the rebound in weight you mention with short term diets. This is sometimes one reason they end up making this more a lifestyle change than a short term diet for them. As you get adapted keto becomes very manageable, and the higher intake of fat can make it easier to consistently consume fewer calories than they used to eating carbs.
If you're looking to extend this further, I'll be privileged to work on this with you. Another great opportunity to be part of something! yay!
They are for sure not single image machines. Each node is running its own kernel, sees only its own resources and is scheduled by the system-wide batch scheduler node. Running across nodes requires MPI to tie things together (tenuously) at the application level.

If they are impressive, it's only because of physical size and aggregate resources available, not because there's the least bit of magic involved. It's the usual Intel+-NVidia CPUs/chipsets/etc. At the current time, it's mostly their legacy proprietary interconnect.
>Weight loss is simple: calorie deficit

Not that simple. People touting this are usually genetically endowed with great metabolism. I've tried this many times and reach a plateau pretty quickly and have to keep decreasing calories until it's not practical anymore.

On the other hand, watching the glycemic index/load does the magic for me.
Heh, this is how my CS classes were.
so I did `for i in {1..10000}; do xdotool click 1; done` and ... the game crashed :(
I probably just have something wrong with me, but I generally feel pretty alert and happy if I go 8-10 hours without eating. As long as I stay hydrated.

Unfortunately, not even diamond is strong enough.

Whenever I decide I want to take up exercising, I can't keep it up. Because deep inside, I just don't want to exercise.
Spot on. I respect the depth of Ng's knowledge, but for 99% of people, knowing how to implement a linear regression algorithm is completely useless. Hardly anyone is trying to write a better ML algorithm; the rest of us just need to import code that was written by PhD's. So it's far better to understand higher level concepts like when you should use a certain ML method, what assumptions go into it, and generally how the underlying algorithms work.
Might be lacking glucose; I believe that is why marathon runners eat glucose before they run.
"If you skip a meal, at first you feel acutely hungry, but then you actually begin to feel less hungry again as that accustomed mealtime passes by..."

I've experienced this quite a bit, especially if I happen to be too busy to feel the passage of time or have no clocks within sight.
How brittle is diamond? We know diamond is the hardest, but how brittle is it? It is good to have a non-scratching phone screen, but not if it is really brittle.
When fasting, I noticed hunger struck hardest at my regular mealtimes. Half hour later it was mostly gone.
Along the same lines, I have enjoyed several times a little book called "Searching for and Maintaining Peace", by Father Jacques Philippe. It gives a Christian/Catholic perspective on how to deal with the troubles of life: fear of being without, fear of suffering, dealing with the suffering of loved ones, impatience with the shortcomings of others, kicking ourselves when we commit a fault, etc.

The short answer is to acquire and maintain an interior peace, no matter what the circumstances. This allows the grace of God to act through us. The book develops this idea from several angles, in about 100 pages.
for the most part it feels like TV shows don't have
that pressure to fit into a very tight box.

Don't they? I feel like TV is a lot more constrained than movies. The forced "last time on XYZ" cadence means that it's very difficult to have natural story-lines when things need to be wrapped up in a suitable emotional resolution and/or cliffhanger every 22 or 45 minutes. Especially when the writers are working with 25% of the screen time being commercials (thankfully much less of a problem with Digital-first TV from Netflix, HBO etc.).

I think it's a lot easier to write and produce a quality movie about just about anything. Yes the mass-produced sequel machines look pretty cookie cutter, but you also get some extremely well-told stories like In Bruges or Wes Anderson's stuff. There's anything-goes stuff like Swiss Army Man. I feel like this kind of thing couldn't realistically be produced for TV. The acting, writing, and production value falls off a cliff very quickly as soon as you leave the mainstream. Even a single season of a TV show means 6-10x as much content as a movie, and consistently conforming to the structure of a serial TV show means the content feels inevitably more repetitious.
> What is an unhealthy fat?

Fat consumed with high levels of sugar.

Not everyone has the capacity to be strict with their diet, habits, or health in general. These people might still attempt the Keto diet.

The Ketogenic diet gets approached by lots of people with mental health issues (bipolar for one), and people who have issues being strict with their diet.

Advising them to get their blood work done, and heart checked is normal, and sensible. Getting your blood and heart checked regularly is a healthy habit, and provides vital feedback to understand exactly how your diet is impacting your health.

De-anonymization is relatively easy. The only real solution is for users to not use online services. It's sad, but it's just how it is now.
Hilarious that this comment is downvoted. The coin has been quite literally pumped and dumped over the last week or so, and its value has fallen to around half of its ATH and around 15 percent of the value of the winning fork.

However one feels about the principal of the decision to fork and the decision of the market to follow the Ethereum Foundation, downvoting factual descriptions of recent price movement on the ETC chain constitutes inherently scammy behavior.
I feel that things like this are very important to create and have, even if they may not be easily made commercial. It's like pure science within IT. Very cool!

This is delightfully nerdy and overly analytical, but I can't believe someone would go to the extent of creating this yet never think to look for counterarguments against their dieting regimen. Doing this would have given him the answer much sooner.

Trying to figure out how the consumption of certain foods correlates with weight gain/loss is a waste of time because it's simply the caloric content, not the macronutritional content (eg protein vs carbs vs fats). There are dozens of studies showing that only calories matter for weight loss, including vs low-carb, low-fat, and more[1].

The author is acting like each food has arbitrary properties that make them food or bad for weight loss. It's a good reason to play with ML, but it's easier to just count calories. I hate seeing people go down the "good food/bad food" path of thinking because they end up overanalyzing the shit out of everything they eat and for no good reason.

The glycemic index doesn't realistically matter either for a ton of reasons. It hasn't been taken seriously as a useful marker when chosing foods for quite some time now. It's not a reliable indicator of anything. I posted a summary a few years back that debunks all the insulin/GI spike voodoo[2].

Low carb diets work, but they only work because they're a trick to get you to reduce calories. Look at what you're eating and remove all the carb foods. Notice how much your calorie intake dropped. It's a simple way of losing weight without counting calories, but that's it. The weight loss on keto, atkins, etc have nothing to do with carbs, and everything to do with calorie restriction.

It's worth noting that low carb diets have great health benefits, however [3].

To throw things in a greek setting, Marvel is traditionally comedy and DC is tragedy. Iron Man is a drunken, womanizing asshole. Robert Downey Jr was is brilliant because he's still likeable. Sure, he's rich, but his life is a mess. You can look down on him. He's a fun guy, you want him to make it, but he's still kind of a scumbag. Christopher Nolan's Batman is the opposite. Sure, he's rich, but he's facing some big demons. There's a note of sadness, because in spite of his advantages, he faces some terrible challenges. You feel for the guy, because he suffers so much. Marvel is relatable, at least i'm handling my life better than that guy. DC is aspirational, i wish i was strong enough to handle what they handle. This is a sweeping generalization, but i think it's generally true.

I've seen most of the movies the author called out, and i enjoyed them. I can't say i enjoyed them enough to see in a theater, but they're fun. I think of them as Saturday afternoon matinee movies. I like movies. I don't mind flaws, but those popcorn movies are something i'll wait to watch on a Tuesday night with a couple of beers.

I think warner's big problem is they're spending 100+ million dollars to produce something that's in the 20-60 million range. I'll watch them, independent of production value, because i like movies. But i'm going to get the $2.99 SD itunes version, i'm not going to spend the 12 bucks to see that in the theater. (i did see suicide squad opening night, but the ticket was free)

I hope they figure it out. WB made some great stuff, and some fun stuff. They're just not quite calibrated right. If you're going to blow 100M+ on a movie, you really need the details right. Calling back to Suicide squad, it was fun. I really enjoyed it, and i'd be happy to pay 3-5 dollars on a weeknight to watch it. If i had to pay $12 for the ticket, and another $10 for the popcorn and soda (how can you not get popcorn and soda?!? it completes the experience!) I'd be annoyed.
What do you mean by glucose exactly? What kind of foods should I be eating? I usually just get whatever for lunch at my company - tacos, Indian food, whatever is being served.

A few ponderings:

- Using saffron as a means to transform poppy fields is a 12-year-old+ idea[0] that doesn't seem to have made a dent in opimium production, which has skyrocketed since 2004.[1] What makes this iteration different?

- In 2011, saffron prices dropped 60% to due to an oversupply.[2] Given that the market for saffron is relatively established, isn't there concern that Rumi's growth might outpace demand and cause a similar price drop?

- What makes Rumi different than current companies run by locals such as the Afghan Saffron Company?[3]

This is like metric vs imperial vs ... all over again. I had no clue what levles you guys are taling about until I looked it up and figured how they compare to the French system.

JavaScript continent and the callback pyramids of hell
This was a good read as the author approaches the problem from a unique direction, but the outcome is hardly surprising: a very obese man who eats large amounts of carbs starts eating a moderate amount instead, and loses a lot of weight. Nothing new there.
It really depends on how loose your classification of "diamond" is and how large you want. Cubic zirconia is quite popular with hobbyist and some professional faceters and is quite readily available in a range of colours (try searching for cubic zirconia rough) but it's more difficult to manufacture the larger you get. Moissanite is much closer to natural diamond in both hardness and refractive index but it still seems to be fairly inexpensive uncut. Not too familiar with other diamond synthetics but the range seems to be growing.

This is probably it -- after exhausting the contents of the digestive tract, the body resorts to glycogen reserves in muscle and the liver. Your glycogen reserves are your "blood-sugar" and consuming them requires a burst of oxygen, so depleted oxygen typically follows low blood-sugar, ergo yawning.

Energy gels are usually high-energy but low-everything-else, which is probably what the parent is referring to ("eat glucose"). This is to supplement blood-sugar levels without affecting the digestive process too much, or, more to the point, without affecting their marathon performance.

That Landis paper is great, thanks.
That people tried to profit by manipulating the price doesn't mean that the chain itself is a scam.

I don't think it's correct that the only relevant component of people using it is people speculating/pumping -and-dumping .

So, I would think that saying that it is a scam, is not true.

> a $50MM exploit

Calling it an exploit seems politically charged. There wasn't an exploit in the Ethereum software itself, which behaved exactly as intended. Instead, someone wrote a shitty, poorly-designed contract that had a loophole in it. Someone took advantage of that loophole and make a bunch of money off of it. To me, "exploit" has connotations of breaking the ethereum system somehow, which was not the case.

Ethereum Classic seems to be sticking by the original stated purpose of Ethereum (to have fully automated, non-repudiable contracts).

The other Ethereum seems to be instead stating that it's acceptable for the judgement of the Ethereum devs to have ultimate control and veto power over anything that happens on the Ethereum blockchain. In other words, Ethereum is more of a fiduciary contract system than any sort of "objective" contract platform.

To be clear, I have no vested interest either way. I have never been involved with Ethereum.
Food does have properties (not arbitrary) that make them good or bad for weight loss. I agree, calories count. But if you eat food that makes you hungry, it is harder to cut calories. The reason low-carb high fat diets work is that you feel full on fewer calories.
I don't see being strict or lazy as being the main source of the size of the deployed code (especially as Ghcjs inherits an excellent strictness analyser from GHC). Scalajs would have to emulate many JVM characteristics and port many JDK classes. Then you have huge core Scala libraries like collections, which are far larger and more complex than the Haskell equivalents. You will have to back up your argument with numbers to convince me.
You also haven't elaborated on your comment about "imperfect semantics".
Bootlegs are specifically "releases" that fans record, whereas this site is just for marking your attendance, not providing your recording of it.

Oh but it's nothing to do with the calories, it's all about his state of mind, don't you see?
I must say this is one of the best articles I have seen on obesity. This clearly lays out how psychology plays more important roles in obesity than merely focusing on diet/exercise. I had come to the same conclusion after trying different diets but the author lays out a very scientific explanation of how it works. One thing very important pointed out by the author is this: more you try to lose weight by controlling diet and/or exercise, more it activates your hunger drive. Instead just have some middle of the road guidelines(not too much carb, not too little fat, no calorie counting) and use this guideline to eat till you feel satiated(more you control yourself thru willpower, more it activates your hunger drive). As more and more people get confused by the contradictory recommendations, flip-flops in results of different type of diets, eventually the psychological aspect, as laid out by the author, will get more attention. Hopefully.
Depends, how long are you training?

I'm not familiar with the effort required for mountain climbing, but eating a varied meal beforehand would help. Personally, a peanut butter sandwich, banana, half an avocado (depending on the size of the avocado), tall glass of milk, and celery with hummus will prepare me well for the following few hours. Adjust this for yourself as needed.

A healthy balance between fat, fiber, carbs, and protein is what you're looking for. I can't give any any hard numbers but a good macro-nutrient balance is the first step to a healthy diet, with the second step being fresh food.
I lost 15 kg (33 lb) over a period of 7 months.

* Stopped drinking juice, coke etc. completely
* Ate sweets strictly only once a week (like one cake every sunday)
* Ate carbs mainly at lunch when doing sport afterwards. In the evening I ate carbs too, but much less.

There's one thing that all these fasting-guides and tips fail to mention:

The fastest way to loose weight is to heighten your resting-energy-consumption, and the fastest way to do this is to gain muscle mass by training.
It also doesn't help that our culture treats hunger like it's a disease to be cured. Hungry? Quick - grab a snack before it gets worse and you start wasting away! We work hard to "stave off" hunger when in fact it's really no big deal and can be ignored for quite a while until it's convenient to eat.

>Totally independent of Ethereum, this style of argument is kinda weak. We really should be trying to build something better, either by improving the existing system or building a parallel system that will slowly replace what's there. Good enough is the enemy of great.

While I agree that this style of rethoric is often overused, GP does raise an important question. Now that Ethereum has forked, there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the real benefits of the system, and about whether the benefit is worth the risk of switching.

The Ethereum project has always marketed the value of the system by emphasizing the predictable, deterministic, and impartial nature of the blockchain. Now that it has failed this first trial by fire, it is up to the project to present a new value proposition for why it is an improvement over the traditional legal system. We as the public must ask questions to analyze and critique this value proposition.
If I wanted plain old human-managed contracts, I would just use the legal system. As much as I instinctively distrust the government, I trust the government to handle my contracts a lot more than I trust some random software devs who thought it was a good idea to write multi-million dollar smart contracts in a language inspired by Javascript.

Isn't this just a synonym for "regular contract"?
As others said, more explanation of the functionality on the home page would be nice, so you don't have to create an account to see what the site can do. In particular I'm wondering if you pulled in a catalog of past concerts the user can choose from, or if they have to enter in the date and location themselves.

Also, nitpicks:

- The registration page has an "Already have an account? Login" link, but there's not a link to the registration page on the login page.

- There's not a link back to home page from either of those pages either.
I am astonished by this because I don't get how it can paint based on an algorithm and get everything so right. How does this even work? How it know metal is metal and what color to use? Does it paint black people as white?
Indeed. A muscular person at 185lb will burn more energy sitting still than their more rotund counterparts.

Another thing to keep in mind -- muscle weighs more than fat. When participating in a workout regimen, some may be discouraged by their lack of weight loss and mistake it for stalling. This should be overcome.

Frankly I think the greatest innovation in this would be a bathroom scale that shows both body-fat percentage and weight.
