There is at least one person in these comments extolling the virtues of keto viz a viz quick weight loss without exercise.

I don't know what a normal low fat diet is, but the overruling factor in weight loss/gain is the ratio of work (exercise) to energy input (calories).

It's actually the opposite of ad hominem - I'm addressing his beliefs, not him as a person.

I recognize that he's contributed value to the OSS community, but over the last decade or two I think he's done far more harm than good. A number of his beliefs and writings are extremely problematic, and turning a blind eye to it because of his contributions taints the OSS community.

Another example:

"In the U.S., blacks are 12% of the population but commit 50% of violent crimes; can anyone honestly think this is unconnected to the fact that they average 15 points of IQ lower than the general population? That stupid people are more violent is a fact independent of skin color." -Eric S. Raymond
It's fair to point out that Simpsons dialogue is 75% male and 9 out of 10 of their most prolific writers are male. That's a significant data finding.

There is a gender imbalance in The Simpsons. There's also a gender imbalance in film (1). That doesn't indicate ill-intent but it may be reflective of society and media as a whole.

It's also rough if you're a time traveler from the early eighties, hanging out with other time travelers.

"Near as I can tell, all of popular culture and most of the English language gets taken over sometime in the early nineties by something called The Simpsons. I know this because nobody from that time or later seems to be able to put a sentence together without quoting them, then everybody giggles like idiots, and if I ask them to explain, all anybody ever does is laugh and ask me a condescending question about Bananarama!" -- Scott Meyer, Off to Be the Wizard
I think the key is to do regular refactoring as you go -- it has to be an ingrained part of the process. It's really a management issue. Not every company/project has the foresight to budget for this, of course. If a team can't or won't regularly improve their infrastructure, then yes, a more structured approach would probably be better for anything that needs to last.

Of course there are other considerations. A more "planned" structure always makes sense if you're talking about systems or components that are life-critical or that deal with large flows of money. The "fast and loose" approach makes the most sense when you can tolerate occasional failures, but you have to have fast iterations to be quick-to-market with new features.
Escape from the Office – Intro to Python Adventure
Totally disagree. Being able to adjust flow direction, padding, etc. and then perpetuate those changes across multiple elements makes me more likely to experiment.

Also, I'm not necessarily referring to setting up complex constraints and rules, but more just not having to move a bunch of stuff around with the mouse every time I make a change.
For those talking about ketogenic diets in general, try Atkins 2.0.

I'm not for fads, and I don't even believe claims that "caloric intake doesn't matter" if you only eat protein/fat etc.

That said, I've found that their Atkins 2.0 four-stage plan makes sense, and incorporates most of what modern studies say.

It's also not the caricature "steak and eggs" diet that some people believe Atkins or ketogenic diets are. They have some strict whitelist of food for the stage 1 (2 weeks, which you can extend to lose weight faster), but the other 3 stages gradually add back carbs into your diet, and you are even encouraged to add them "at your own personal balance", so you end up with a final balanced diet you can keep following forever that's not about ketosis anymore but health and sustaining your weight.

They do promote some of their own branded snacks etc, but you can ignore those, and they have tons of information on their site to do the diet on your own.

As I wrote in another comment, following it for 3 weeks, immediately after trying a couple of others for the last months to no effect. Not only I lost 10 pounds and counting, but am less sleepy and lethargic during afternoons at work, can wake up better, and have more energy. Those could also mean that I was gluten intorelant (never bothered to check, but I did ate tons of breads) and staying off bread made me better. Or maybe it's that I cut sugar completely which is also part of stage 1 (except for fruits and sweeteners).

I also don't care to eat anymore -- before I looked forward to every meal of the day (or snacked like crazy between).
What is the logic behind putting butter in your coffee? If your goal is to lose weight, wouldn't not eating that butter still be better than eating it?
I agree with you that "fully autonomous" is a very distant dream. However I would like to point out the secondary or tertiary effects of such breakthroughs which people often fail to predict in the beginning. Invention of bulb did not replace candles but it helped humans be productive even after sunset leading to unimaginable gain in human productivity that has propelled us forward since then.

I will not see "self driving cars" not just as replacement of our Camry and Prius but it could be modified to do lot more things we currently have not imagined.

One angle I can think of is that building an environment designed specifically for such vehicles. Currently most of the challenges come from the fact that the car has to run in an extremely unpredictable environment. What if we could build isolated lanes or even exclusive roads for such vehicles ? What if we could build housing complexes, airports, parking lots etc.

The form factor of a Blackberry Classic is all you need, just integrate with Android.

I think you just inadvertently highlighted why that business model would be so difficult.

I was almost 100% with you in this thread until that point. I too would like to have a modern phone with a good hardware spec that is primarily a communications tool and personal organiser, rather than an entertainment product. I would like good battery life, security, privacy, and a convenient, robust design that fits in my hand and my pocket. I don't see any phone on the market today that is anywhere close to meeting my ideal requirements.

But then you mentioned Android, and for me that would immediately raise security and privacy issues because of all the Google integration.
This is interesting. Do you have a source for this?
More specifically, Knuth Knuth and more Knuth.

His series on the Art of Computer Programming has enough relevant mathematics (among other things) to get one busy for a long, long time.

Mathematics per se is too wide a subject (which may be why the word is given in plural in English and French). It is also extremely deep and complex even in its "universally reusable" parts, and, frankly, not much of it finds application in software engineering.
> The grand point I raised was we've tried this on earth, and failed.

A grand point that you have failed to back up with anything other than a hunch, and are defending by rejecting numbers, that while are far from infallible, you didn't give any reason for rejecting.
Where do you read "character assassination"? I see only statistics, totally provable.

And citing it (in my other post) doesn't mean that I consider that some specific series "must" be male or female dominated, it's just an interesting tidbit. Its meaning would be even clearer if the similar statistics would be made on other works too.

I personally see it as an explanation as why I more responded to the Simpsons than my girlfriends, who were less interested. At least I remember more stories where Lisa turned out to be much smarter than anybody else there, so that statistics is not everything, but it's interesting nevertheless.

I don't disagree with what you've said, with maybe the exception of the amount of salt... That's a lot. I'll periodically eat a pickle or have some garlic stuffed olives and that works for me. People should probably supplementing magnesium regardless, but in tablet form it can cause diarrhea.

I'm replying mainly to raise the point that, in my experience, there are people who can moderate successfully, and there are people that it is better to abstain completely. I fall into the latter. I will fall off the wagon if I don't abstain from the "forbidden fruits."

My wife on the other hand is very capable of moderation. I simply am not, and I suspect I'm not alone.

So it's good to know why type of person you are in this regard.

>... But frankly, I don't give a fuck about whether Yahoo succeeds financially--I want my life and the lives of other people to be better. And I want that to be the goal of my government.

In this situation it doesn't matter that yahoo is a private corporation - the same cost/benefit analysis essentially needs to be done no matter what the structure of the organization. Let's pretend that email had been created by a government agency and that agency has to decide how much of the budget to spend on security. If it costs X dollars to make something 90% secure, 10X for 95% secure and 10,000X for 99.9999% secure, etc etc eventually you have to choose how much to spend - resources aren't infinite for that government agency either. (And to make it much more difficult, they just have a guess that X dollars will make their product N% secure.) It isn't as black and white as you are trying to portray it.

I think it is fair to criticize yahoo for how the prioritized security but the same kind of issue has happened with non-profit companies and with government organizations, so no, it isn't just a "big, bad, greedy corporate problem."

I support any form of ethical research, but not the hasty imposition of its ostensible results onto the masses. At least not in the case of personal decision in regard to diet.

As noted in the above link, ghee has been used for thousands of years. Health advantages have been attributed to it. There is controversy and that is fine. Let people make their own decisions. Certainly groups of people having nothing to do with the production, distribution and consumption of ghee have little claim to profit, although they may freely wail to their content about how much they resent it.

There are some great resources on the keto subreddit (reddit.com/r/keto). I personally had similar issues when I first started keto - several times a week i found i had to be conscious of my electrolyte intake and would supplement with broth and often almond milk (potassium). However 6 months in I've found it's less of an issue, even at lower electrolyte intake, but I'm not sure why. I never found the need to hit the super high recommendations on /r/keto though - I found that 4,000 - 5,000 mg per day was more than enough, and I'd get heart palpitations and muscle cramps generally under 2,500 / day. You'll see a lot of people on /r/keto saying you _have_ to hit 7k+ a day, and people who drink salted water all day - personally, I think that's overkill.

On the other hand, I don't like having to suffer stupid enterprise project managers either, though in my line of work it's better than the norm (more startup-y -- heck, we are at 100 people or so and our founder/boss still codes like crazy, same for the CTO).

I think the ideal for our kind of persons is having your own company -- either an one person one, or a bigger outfit but with someone else handling the marketing and finance parts. You get to both program and chose what and how to deliver.

You seem to be thinking of it as a scientific experiment. I'm not. In the context of the OP's comment, I'm thinking of it as a "trial run", to see if we can figure out how to build a self-sustaining colony here on Earth, where it's safe and we can cut the "simulation" short if there's a problem and try again, before we try it for real on another world. In that context, we failed. We did not set up a self-sustaining colony and prove that we can do such a thing successfully. Perhaps we could be successful if we tried it a few more times, but we have not been successful yet. Therefore, we are unprepared to attempt any such project on another world.

Building a habitat on another world is not a scientific experiment; it's an engineering project.

'hacking'
You're also neglecting another benefit of keto for maintaining a low-caloric intake, it encourages you to eat fat. Fat takes a substantially longer amount of time for the stomach to process, meaning you feel satiated for a longer period of time. Whenever I eat carbs I try to supplement them with a good amount of fat to avoid this, yesterday I had a 300cal snack of 5 saltines topped with roughly 3tbsp of peanut butter and felt great for 4 hours, meanwhile this morning I had a single 240cal croissant for breakfast at 8:30 and have been dying for lunch since 10:00AM.

Indeed, it seems they have some real talent, excellent financing, and political backing here to really accomplish something. Or at least make a strong go at make pioneering efforts to commercialize this.

HN's usual negativity generating machine is in full force in this thread. It's sad because we should be supportive of bold companies making difficult plays. But it seems we're all in a race to reward people who can most effectively dismiss the ideas as not possible.

Yet people constantly criticize Silicon Valley as not investing in bold ideas anymore and instead obsessing over the next photo sharing emoticon apps. You can't wonder why VC/angels are hesitant to capitalize entrepreneurs taking real risks when this is the public reception they get - especially from a site full of technical people and entrepreneurs.

The more money the startup has the more the hyper-critical audience shows up to show the world how much smarter they are then these guys. People who actually went out in the world, built something, and got $640m to implement the idea - and haven't even yet made public releases/test available that can be analyzed and fairly criticized. But that doesn't seem to stop anyone.

Borsuk-Ulam Theorem
Actually, hes defining his productivity, and you're defining yours. Both of you can be right :) To your point, Apple did put a computer in my pocket, but it took away my control over it and it became _their_ computer. No root access, no control over updates, no way to copy files in and out of it, no way to control any aspect but what they let me. That is not my definition of a real computer, but an appliance. Sure, they're very successful and maybe lots of people do want an appliance, but its certainly not a real computer, the way a laptop with OSX, Linux, Windows is.

Back in 1996 I was using CVS at work. Before that it was RCS or SCCS (RCS was the first version control system I used). This was at Bell-Northern Research and Nortel, which was not a bastion of cutting edge techniques. ClearCase was pretty commonly used as well (it came out in 1992).

Automated testing wasn't science fiction. It was regularly done, just as system or integration tests. You'd see who did the commit that broke the build. This was before QA even got to do their work. This was something done across the company and I'm certain that it wasn't the only company that did this.
As someone who moved from the Windows to the Apple ecosystem several years ago but who still builds out support for Windows, reliability and stability in the Windows ecosystem has been a non-issue for many years now (and for the few years preceding that was largely a factor of crappy third-party drivers).

To a certain extent that's true of the 68000 too. Octal becomes convenient whenever you have a bunch of 3-bit fields. To me, the thing that's kind of gross about x86 are all the exceptions.

Outside of 64-bit mode you can't do byte operations on [e]si, [e]di, [e]bp or [e]sp (though for the last of those, there is little reason you would want to). In 64-bit mode, you can do that with a REX prefix, but then you can't access the ah, bh, ch and dh. There's only one size bit in the main opcode byte so they had to add a prefix byte when they added 32-bit support and another one when they extended to 64-bit. Unsigned multiply instructions have a fixed destination register/register pair. Numerous instructions have special shorter encodings you can use for certain registers.

All of this makes a lot of sense in the context of the 8086. It needed to be easy to port assembly from the 8080 and memory was incredibly limited. As a product of its time it seems like a pretty good design, but it wasn't a forward thinking design. The 68000 by contrast was a (mostly) 16-bit implementation of a 32-bit, forward-looking, ISA. It's a shame x86 survived while 68K is mostly dead.
Airplanes have had autopilot forever. In that context we don't expect that phrase to mean "autonomous flying". Anyone who knows anything about airplane autopilot knows to expect the pilot to engage autopilot at certain non-critical moments and always be ready to take over for the difficult parts. Tesla's autopilot is no different. They clearly state it's intended for certain parts of highway driving. Like a glorified cruise control, much like autopilot is used in other fields. I don't believe they've ever tried to market their tech as a totally self-driving vehicle.

So why then should Tesla not call their assisted-driving "autopilot"? When our current common-sense understanding of "autopilot" in other industries has worked just fine?

Maybe because it's not marketing by a single trendy firm so you can't attack it with your superior intellect? Or maybe you also expect airplane manufacturers and pilots to stop calling their tech "autopilot" because it might mean something else, now that autonomous cars are becomes a thing... and we wouldn't want to confuse anybody who can't grasp context and commonly accepted meanings of phrases...
