How does the meaning of "analogous to the above construction, we now have the following" differ from "by analogy"? Is the difference worth the higher word count?
I agree. Just making attitude adjustment helps a lot. Experience the feel of hunger and you realize that it's not that bad. The worst goes off in 10-20 minutes if you stop to rest. I find it nice to fast 24 hours once a week even without being overweight.

On the other hand eating can be form of self medication. If there is low level of depression or something else unsatisfying in life, food triggers the release of serotonin. In my experience there may be experiences of "losing meaning" if you fast or are in a low calorie diet. If somebody suffers from depression, the willpower to avoid snacking may not be there.

That analogy is ineffective because the HN header bar isn't the price that the provider has asked you to pay in exchange for the service.

When I walk into a shop I am presented with a similar "here are some objects with prices, please either take the object and pay the price or don't do either". However, it's physically possible for me to decide which part of a transaction I want to take part in. If choose to accept the "taking objects" part of the deal while ignoring the "paying for them" part of the deal, am I doing something wrong?

If the shopkeeper then said "hey, you should pay for that", would you have "zero sympathy" for the shopkeeper because they were "shoving capitalism in my face"?

Although he seems desperate to deny it, the TL;DR is "went on a low carb diet, effortlessly lost weight".

Keep in mind that Guccifer2 isn't a lone hacker as initially portrayed. Guccifer2 is a cover for APT-28/APT-29 (GRU).

If you really believe H1B holders are paid at least the prevailing rates and are hired only because of genuine shortages, then I got beach-front property in Arizona for sale.

Common sense says if someone cannot freely move between jobs, who faces immanent deportation if fired, who will have much better prospects of living well in US than their home country, then this person has much less leverage and would be paid less. It is easy to test this hypothesis: do H1B holders have a much higher rate of changing jobs after obtaining visa than their peers.

Yeah. I has been downvoted into oblivion by saying almost the same things without any machine learning, just by observing eating habits and traditions of "village folks" in Nepal, India, Tibet and Sri Lanka where I have spent last few years.

The message was that traditional (evolved according to local food sources and seasons) unprocessed foods of Asian tribes is the most natural and healthy. Economic and habitat selection pressures implicitly works the same way as machine learning, for hundreds of years.

Visit any rural area and try simple folk's foods. They will be way healthier that any processed crap. The similar patterns could be notices really quickly.
Tech and media giants gather at Sun Valley – summer camp for billionaires
Thanks for giving the site a try.

As Jonny mentioned this is very much an MVP which we just finished yesterday. We do have plans to allow you manually add event details if we don't have them in the database.

Sorting of the show list is also something we have on the roadmap.

Sorry about the errors, yeah we're hitting the API limits pretty hard.

I experienced this. I never needed to lose weight, always been lean. But I wanted to see if I could reduce my blood sugar since it was borderline high. So I went very low carb for a while. Did not intend to but lost 5 kilos right away and felt fine, although it seemed like I was a bit underweight. A few weeks later got a miserable case of flu and couldn't eat for a few days. Lost even more weight, felt terrible, looked like death. It seems like the little reserves I previously had were gone from my change in diet.

Nicely done! I just finished with no cheats and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

The level of polish is what kept me clicking 285 times just to 'start' the game. Very cool.
seems to me they used the same data that was used to fit the models, to estimate prediction accuracy. This overestimates prediction accuracy. It would be better to use data that was not used to fit the models to assess accuracy. This is known as cross validation
Sure, but as with the problem of small sample sizes, the root cause is usually that it is hard to get funding for large, long studies.

Great experience all up (besides a few understandable timeouts fetching Date/Venue data today). Good focus and execution, I hope you reach the success you're after!

Couple of personal thoughts:

- When I've seen the same band a few times, it would be cool to choose cover photo (album art of their current album at the time? The song preview could also be their most popular song at the time?)

- Most of my concerts are in my hometown, where most of my friends are from. I'd love to feature the venue name on my showlist (In Brisbane, Australia <3: The Tivoli, Riverstage, The Triffid :D hehe)

- Integration with Songkick?

- I like the manual sorting, my natural preference seems to be oldest to newest, but with repeated bands grouped. I wonder if this is possibly a pattern of others too, and because having an awesome showlist to share is close to your product's core/focus it could be worth designing for this?

Awesome work!

THW global как заработать деньги сидя дома
I have the impression that the real shortage is because people believe there are "talents", which encourages companies to ignore on-the-job training.

There's of course good economic reasoning for this viewpoint. It forces job candidates to learn skills on their own dime, and companies don't end up training someone who then gets a higher paying job elsewhere.

This in turn is a consequence of the modern view that people only spend a few years at any one job, rather than decades. This encourages employers to see employees as a resource to exploit, rather than to nurture.
Sorry we're just finishing up the MVP and the polish isn't quite there yet, I've added the link you suggested and made the logo a link back to the homepage.

Temporary fixes until we can make something better for the long term.

> Do you actually believe the public school system's goal is to educate children? More like freeing up parents to go to work (and tax), and employing teachers and administrators. It's nearly impossible to fire teachers, thanks to a public sector union who's got their back.

They do a shitty job of that as well. To solve that problem school should be year round, start at 8am and end after 5pm. That way a parent can have a full time job without having to take their kid to school after their job starts and picking them up before it ends.

> So, asking if something the public school system is doing is student focused betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of its purpose.

It's implementation that's flawed, not the idea. Public schools are a grand concept and can work. They just need to fix the hours, get rid of the teacher's unions (don't like it? Great, go work somewhere else!), and hire proper teachers. While you're at it replace defined benefit plans with defined contribution one's so the full costs are accounted for rather than passed on to the kids in the classroom.
I mean this is like asking why Lulzsec hacked Sony and not Microsoft, and then extrapolating various conspiracy theories from that ("Maybe Microsoft paid them to hack Sony!").

Without hard proof of what happened and why, it's easy to create all sorts of crazy theories like that, especially when some theories can even help a certain party politically.

I'm in Australia too, seems to have an awesome dataset. Back to the first The Living End concert my brother took me to when I was in primary school.

A few obscure bands were missing (especially if they no longer exist: Rookie, Fatis Valour, Holland, ...), but I'm honestly not surprised. Not possible to add bands ourselves yet

The "Specifier List" that precedes the declarator is made up of distinctive groups of keywords and people often mix them up because the language doesn't enforce a particular order. My preference is to put them in the following order (it makes reading declarations much more natural):

1. Storage class specifiers, if any: static, extern, auto, register, typedef;

2. Type qualifiers, if any: const, volatile, restrict;

3. Type modifiers, if any: signed, unsigned, short, long;

4. The type specifier: int, double, char, etc.

Following that rule would lead to (IMHO) more readable declarations like this:

static const volatile unsigned long int a;

Instead of (an extreme example):

unsigned volatile int static const long a;

> A math course without a computer is not a modern math course.

Why does it have to be a modern math course and what part of elementary school math is "modern math"? Counting, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and even calculus are hundreds of years old.

> Humans are not going to advance the field, or even keep up to date, when it is insisted that students do everything their equally intelligent predecessors did plus new things.

I'm not saying don't use advanced technology, I'm saying you don't need advanced technology to learn anything from 1 + 1 = 2 through differential equations. It's a hindrance, not an asset.

> Something has got to go, and top of my list is a vast amount of pen and paper bullshit.

The idea that technology can solve everything is what needs to go. At some point people need to sit down and put the time and effort into learning. You can't automate and gamify everything.

I'm guessing they have intelligence, likely captured via their global surveillance infrastructure, that points to them as the culprits... but they can't publicly admit to that, of course, due to "national security concerns".

Well, you do burn a few calories, say, anywhere from 100 - 200 calories an hour depending on how active you are during the session, and like all exercise that gets your heart pumping there is some health benefit.

More interesting is what sex and orgasms do for your emotional well-being which is dependant upon your brain chemistry, if the sex is a positive experience (e.g. not forced) there is release of endorphins which affects cortisol levels. Simplified I believe this is how all exercise reduce stress. Cortisol levels will fluctuate throughout the day but chronically high levels are common for individuals too stressed out, that would be a real "starvation mode". The ways in which cortisol affects metabolic, but not limited to, processes in our bodies are intricate and many, it is very important to understand cortisol in regards to weight loss, overall health and emotional well-being.

What are you actually doing at your desk and how does it add up to the bigger picture of your life?

IMHO fancy gear and trying to force new habits are only curing symptoms of of a more underlying problem: the tasks you’re doing at your new job are too divorced from what you want to accomplish day-to-day (could also be due to genuine lack of energy which is covered by another comment).

Take some time figure out some goals for yourself if you don’t have any yet, connect the dots between what you have to accomplish in your new job to those goals, then connect the minute tasks you do at your desk to those accomplishments. If you just keep doing work without tying it to something bigger it will definitely be an uphill battle to stay focused on what you must get done.

Though tying your job to your goals is definitely not a silver bullet. There are other tricks to try out after setting your goals that could help, such as using the pomodoro technique.
Another integration I'd like to see is with Facebook events. Really the only reason I have a Facebook account is to keep track of concerts I'm going to. All the info and tickets are in the same place and I can follow certain events / groups and get notifications when new concerts pop up. If the events I'm "going" to could automatically be added to my Showlist I'd be completely sold!

Also I've noticed that this is geared toward there being 1 artist/band at each show. This might be different for different genres, but here in NL the Drum & Bass scene has like 5-6 names playing at each event so it is a bit tedious to have to enter each one manually. Again I think Facebook event integration would be a great solution to this issue because the official events have all the information about the concert if you can manage to recognize the relevant information in each post.

I think Facebook probably has the most complete summary of events across all genres if you can find a way to parse out the non-concert related events. This is probably pretty hard to implement well, but might work out with a smart enough spider crawling Facebook.

Have you tried using Julia? Tom Breloff's Plots.jl[0] package has a built-in @gif macro, which already relies on ImageMagick and/or FFmpeg (depending on which one of them is present). So it shouldn't be too hard to extend that to mp4 (just pass different output parameters to FFmpeg). In fact, he has an issue open for it[1] so he appears to be working on that.

Thanks! I just thought their might be some quite important technical reasons for this decision.

After all overloading the return type is quite usual and extremly helpful for parsing or the conversion of types.

But these kind of operations most likely will be done with a Trait in Rust, so having this option for closures might not be that important.
Remarkable work. I am really pleased about the contribution of "sleep" in the whole weight loss experience. I have reached some similar anecdotal conclusions; I bet this is similarly not surprising for many persons.

I am not entirely sure sleep contributes only as "a fasting period". Sleep also means we are relaxed. All the other times of the day (when we are awake) we are relatively stressed, meaning more stress hormones (ie cortisol) which are known to be contributing to weight gain.
Facebook cannot win this. If not ABP, it'll be a browser extension or something else. Fundamentally, they're bringing in something users are against, and hence will take any easy action against.

The hard part is the 'easy action'. Installing ABP is pretty easy. If that does not work, and "FB ad block" extension is the easy thing to do, that will be installed. Sooner or later.

I collect some of my own data in 1/0 form in regard to whether I was productive the day before as well as a few other things (I have a google form for myself that I fill out each morning). I only have a month of data but here is what it spat out:

FeatureName HashVal MinVal MaxVal Weight RelScore
^dreams 24546 0.00 1.00 +0.0705 47.11%
^shower 215555 0.00 1.00 -0.0239 -15.96%

^publish 12600 0.00 1.00 -0.1496 -100.00%

Which is to say that when I write and publish I also have the willpower and combined other factors to lose weight.

Interestingly I was tracking dreams because I made various changes all at once:

-phillips hue bulbs
-new mattress
-new exercise routine (up from nothing)
-started taking vitamins
-stricter on my diet

And was wondering what the cause might be.

When I say "dreams" I mean - "did I wake up remembering vivid dreams?". I wonder now if it's related to caloric surplus.

I also have minutised step data, nightly minutised sleep data and hourly mood self-reported data that I might try to throw in to the system and see what it says.
