There is a lot of useful advice in that article. However, I am always made weary by people's use of term "muscle growth." What is typically perceived and dubbed as muscle growth is actually simply muscle cells retaining water and sugar as fuels to help accommodate the ongoing increase in physical activity. That is what anyone who begins training observes in the first few months. Think of this as a simple increase in the size of each muscle cell due to storage of extra fuel. This is completely analogous to our accumulation of fat. We barely ever grow the number of fat cells. Instead, we shrink or expand them like sacks.

However, when it comes to the actual increase in the number of muscle cells, this process is much more difficult to launch. From my experience, this cannot be done without proper hormonal background. By this, I do not mean exogenous (injected) hormones. I mean that one has to have proper levels of testosterone and growth hormone. The former is regulated by the psyche and can be described as the hormone of successfully overcoming difficulties and becoming a winner. An interesting thing is that your brain does no care whether you successfully beat someone in a computer game or just finished a marathon. It will still reward you with testosterone. On the contrary, if you beat yourself over small things, you will fill yourself with cortisol, which is inversely related to testosterone.

Needless to say, to me the muscle growth constitutes invoking the second scenario. That is a formidable but not at all impossible task. It requires knowing how to work with yourself and your mind.
Hey, thanks for your comment.

I'm working on improving my site day by day. Thanks for the link, I'll read it all and I'll keep improving my project.

However, given the circumstances and how PH works, there is nothing I could change on my site that would change what happened with PH, nothing.

Everything that should have done for a proper hunt, was out of my control. I couldn't do anything at all because I was not notified about the submission. I couldn't tell the hunter to not submit just before the weekend when nobody is there to vote. I cannot add nice screenshots on my profile, like most of the good PH profile have, because I don't have access. I cannot add a proper comment explaining what's the project about. I cannot add the correct Tags and remove the SALES one. I cannot even assign myself as the Maker. Come on, is that fair?

> There is an implementation of the Ruby language called Rubinius that statically looks at the instance variables in a class that are visible in the source code, and optimises the objects for that many instance variables. If you start to set extra variables dynamically, and so upset this static analysis, performance drops by a half.

You can implement an unsound static analysis for any language, and this in fact what Rubinius is doing: it's making potentially wrong conclusions about what instance variables will exist in objects. However, unsound analyses are outright harmful:

(0) Undoing unsound “optimizations” costs even more performance than was supposed to be gained by optimizing your program. (As you found out the hard way yourself.)

(1) They lie to you about what your code means! If this isn't bad enough, I don't know what else could be.

Unfortunately, a sound static analysis of Ruby code wouldn't be able to tell you much, precisely because Ruby allows you to subvert everything at runtime.
I watched Sicario last night. Great movie, but it also highlighted how the drug war will never be won and what a waste of life, money and time it is.
Very few people working in security do cryptography. In fact, despite the fact that the author of this post is a trained cryptographer, virtually none of his professional work is cryptographic (he's a reverser).

I think one of the good things about security is that it exposes you to so much domain knowledge (like cryptographic algorithms and bare-metal programming).

But executing well in security (and particularly software security) is more about a specific kind of problem-solving mindset. The unique difference between security and other subfields of CS is that security provides you with an adversary; it's intrinsically competitive in a way that other kinds of computer science aren't.
Unlikely. The military is set up to operate in extremely volatile environments where tiny mistakes can have immediate consequences far more deadly than anything the police ever faces. There are far bigger threats to them than someone else shooting first. Resisting immediate fears for the sake of bigger, more abstract goals/dangers has been a key element of military training ever since the ancient days of hand to hand field battles and this is just the continuation of that.

The police, on the other hand, can easily give in to the immediate fear of someone else shooting first: when they are not careful about not escalating, the worst thing that is likely to happen to their side is having to call in reinforcements and having some more bad press that won't add much to whatever they already have. If you want to put it in very crude terms, they are playing war in easy mode and there, many things that are very important to the military are completely irrelevant.
Thank you very much for the detailed description. Makes sense now.
This concept of notional gold that can be redeemed for physical bullion has existed for a while (see: Xetra-Gold). Adding a blockchain for tracking redemptions doesn't fundamentally change the service.

And just like companies like Xetra-Gold, it doesn't address the chiefmost concern: You have no assurance that your fund actually has the gold they claim they do. They might be "renting" the physical bullion out and running a fractional reserve system, in essence a giant Ponzi scheme.

IIRC the Apple adapters are variable voltage and will increase up to "18.5V" depending on the load current, but the laptop itself is perfectly happy to receive full voltage --- and slightly more --- all the time.

In fact, laptops that have a 19V adapter will be fine with 20V too, and may actually run slightly cooler because of the lower current draw. I suspect all the funny voltages is just to create differentiation and a sense of lock-in, but the underlying engineering and tolerances on components mean that a 19V adapter may actually be in the range of 18-21V depending on load. It's amusing to find laptop adapters claiming 18.25, 18.75, 19.6, and a bunch of other "why!?" voltages which are technically all in the same tolerance range.

The real obstacle with the "one adapter for all laptops" is the proprietary DRM-ish ID schemes that a lot of them have, where they may complain/warnin and/or won't charge the battery with just pure voltage input.
Power of the Meme: How Bitcoin Breaks the Snail Pace of Tech Innovation
If you look at MS's financial statements you can (almost) do the math. Divide R&D spending by R&D personnel and you end up at $300k, which can serve as an upper bound. That supposedly includes vendor budget (not included in #personnel), of which MS employs quite a few, and overhead.
If you do the same with Google you end up at $500k, which seems insane.

He's not addressing the question of whether security will always be needed. He's addressing the fact that the work product of a software developer working seriously in security will have a half-life of just a few years, while the work product of a generalist developer might live for decades.

Right, this is the ol' sarcoplasma volume vs myofibril density debate. It's also that the modern perception of the appearance of fitness is not well correlated with functionality - hence the prizing of the former over the latter.
In your view are Apple's app store promotions fair? They're the only one allowed to distribute apps.

> However, when it comes to the actual increase in the number of muscle cells, this process is much more difficult to launch.

It's still controversial whether creating new muscle cells (hyperplasia) is possible at all, as distinct from expanding the existing cells (hypertrophy).

> The former is regulated by the psyche and can be described as the hormone of successfully overcoming difficulties and becoming a winner

Actually, testosterone in males is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular-adrenal axis. Mood can affect it, but not by very much.

The concept that hormones are the sole predictor of hypertrophy doesn't fit the observed facts: people are high or low responders to training, to food, to rest, to hormones and so on. There's no single predictor of hypertrophy that you can minimax.

You start with the well-tested classics and adjust from there.
They don't explain the same conclusion. One predicts that police departments with more vets will tend to be less militarized, the other predicts that police departments with more vets will tend to be more militarized. These could be easily distinguished by gathering data, and it would be very helpful to know which, if either, is true.
Your first and third scenario seem not to honor conservation laws, one can probably build some nasty consequences out of that. Or what happens to the matter occupying the space you are about to appear in, where does it go? In the third scenario it can not simply switch places with the matter from the future because that would kill the asymmetry of that scenario and provide a way to send stuff to the future. I was not simply talking about you killing your younger self. To have any real merits one has to analyze a time traveling scenario with the same mathematical rigor as our normal physical theories. But I never thought much about about time travel because it is such an hypothetical idea and therefore my example a probably pretty bad but I hope you get the idea of what I am aiming at.
The LLVM license (the UofI/NCSA license) is permissive, and thus compatible with just about everything, including the Apache 2.0 license. All the existing code can stay under the old license unless someone agrees to the new one. New contributions can go under the new license. The effective license of the codebase will become Apache 2.0, with some pieces still available under the previous permissive license.
Thank you for explaining this! I didn't know that and will start incorporating that into my workflow :) thanks for teaching me something new!
That is a corner case ("land rich, money poor" enough to hit the estate tax thresholds) that accounts for almost no family farms. I don't remember the number of people that would be affected by it, but it's very small.

The movement to end the estate tax has invoked that because it's a good narrative, it resonates emotionally, but the numbers don't back it up.
I used debian because I'm most comfortable with it as it was our choice of server distro at the time.

They block applications that interfere with the operation of other applications.

This would include an ad blocker that blocks ads in, say, a free game, or the built in Chrome browser.

The common workaround was to run connections through a VPN and your ad blocking happens there. I'm not sure if they started cracking down on that as well.

Having apps that modify other apps can certainly be desired behavior, but it's clear why there would be legitimate concerns about customer security in allowing apps that can do so.
> Right, this is the ol' sarcoplasma volume vs myofibril density debate.

The evidence against there being any such difference is becoming more and more overwhelming. Studies based on either muscle biopsies or cross-sectional scans basically show no difference.

The emerging consensus is training to approximately around failure is the main predictor of hypertrophic outcomes. Which is why both "train heavy!" and "train volume!" seem to work. The difference is that "train heavy!" also has nervous system adaptations.
Yup. It starts with the very term "war".

We have military hardware and military guns. We have an institution of filled with arrogance and the instillation of fear ("Contempt of cop" is a real thing.) Even in this article, they talk about how the sheriff's swat team has a logo featuring a human skull. Not exactly in the "protect and serve" department, but more much more "I'm gonna fuck someone up" department. Civil forfeiture. Targeting communities for fines. Broken windows policing. A privatized prison system. Policing as a money maker.

This is contemporary police culture, and it is dysfunctional.

I've said this multiple times, but the older I get, the more I see the wisdom in NWA[0].

I think you misread my post. In both cases, the user experience of the desktop OS has gotten worse because all of the changes the parent company have made to the OS have been to support their larger business objectives at the expensive of this specific product.

In MS's case they've been focussed on data collection. In Apple's case, they've been focused on cross-selling their mobile devices. As someone who doesn't want MS collecting my data and has no intention of ever going back to Apple's mobile devices, I would prefer either product as it existed circa 2010.

I'm not sure how that led you to the conclusion that I think Apple will add ads to their OS, but that definitely isn't what I meant to imply.
you have to think what sort of scenario it would be a possible clue to. Scenarios like 'a gull landing on the roof' don't lead to further investigation.

This also sounds a lot like the overall SRE org at Google. I've never worked with a more no-nonsense, brutally honest group who are open to everybody's contributions.

Incidentally this isn't the first time I've seen this connection between security and (Google) SRE. This talk at USENIX talks about the intersection between "privacy engineering" and SRE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx2y2yi0rZc
Absolutely. To continue this line of thought I would even say that most "muscles" of the so-called body builders are to a large extent swellings of lymphatic system and interstitial space. When one eats so much protein, the body does not know what to do with it and simply stores it as junk everywhere it deems safe (least dangerous). Where is the least dangerous? Well, it is not the brain, not the heart, not the organs. So, it deposits them in the muscles and other tissues.
Stretching cold muscles will do nothing at best or injure you at worst - stretch after your workout. Warmup with light exercises first. E.g. if you are planning barbell squats, start with air squats.
Well, Fringe should have been cancelled after the first season as it became a boring mess of plotholes. And Fox is generally terrible with scifi shows - see Terranova, Being Human.

So it's a good thing they cancelled Firefly, otherwise there is a high chance it would not have been remembered fondly now.
I haven't found anything easier to get started with and stick with than the 5x5 program. Squats, deadlifts, bench, overhead press and rows to work the major muscle groups. Start light and build up slowly and steadily.

Although my strength-building workout of choice has always been sawing, splitting and stacking firewood. Talk about building functional strength...

Also, I've never heard of muscles shrinking due to being overworked. Can you elaborate on how this happens?
I'm not "looking for any reason [I] can think of to disregard the results". I'm just saying that based on the fact we were given it's naive to jump to the "religious bias" conclusion that they (and other people) have jumped to.

Additionally, based on my experience with the USPS, it's far more likely to be attributed to negligence/incompetence than religious bias.

Finally, I'm not denying there isn't or can't be a religious bias in the USPS, and such a bias may very well be what's causing this company's problems. But this "study" is far from conclusive, and fails to even acknowledge the possibility of a different conclusion.

> I wonder why the police are given so much more weapon's autonomy than the military?

I think because there is no political will to protect the usual victims of police brutality—indeed, the "tough on crime", and concommitant "tough on people who are in the general vicinity of people perceived to be criminals", mentality, is perenially politically popular.

Of course there is also no political will to protect the usual victims of military brutality, but they can and do (in many cases, to some extent, at least historically) protect themselves, and so it has been perceived that it's necessary to reckon with the possibility of reprisal.

Incidentally, that's almost exactly how generative adversarial networks work.

To generate realistic images, you make two neural networks: one of them (D) takes an image as input and decides whether it's real or whether it's the output of (G). The other (G) takes random noise as input and turns it into an image that will fool the (D) network.

Make them fight until they both get strong, and then use (G) as the final model.

Although I've always been a "geek" I am into sports since high school - so it is now more than 20 years. Maybe I was just lucky, but I always had good results, even in the era when internet was not there for the information. Never had to take any supplements, and the results were just right. I won't bother you giving advice, because:

1. Everyone's body is different
2. It's simple once you get it, but it might be difficult to explain.

I'll just say that skimming through this guide I've seen a lot of fluff, some good info and also lots of crap.

I think that, for the people here who would like to start working out, the most important things are:

1. You have to build the habit of working out from now on for the rest of your life if you want the results to stay.
2. Find a professional guidance at first. An enterpreneur whose experience sums to (citing from the OP): "I wrote the first draft of this guide months ago. I meant to publish this then. But I unexpectedly lost half the muscle I had gained." is not the best source of knowledge in this area.
