I've run a couple of uncontrolled n=1 trials on myself with calorie restriction in the past three or so years, and have found that I quickly (ca. 2 weeks) habituate to a lower caloric intake and don't experience hunger pangs unless I forget to eat altogether. Indeed, my current problem is eating enough - I had to consume an additional 900 calories past full yesterday, just in order to meet my 1k/day restriction goal. (Which it is important not to undershoot, as I discovered when I ran -2k for two days running and fell asleep leaning against a train station lamppost on my commute home the second day.)
I've found that after a while you can train your body to be more resistant to hunger pangs, if you feel a bit of a pang, get some tea or water. Now obviously if you're really hungry feel free to eat a meal, but I've noticed that my stomach growling doesn't necessarily mean I'm ready for a full meal.

Also, I've found that eating food high in fat keeps me satiated. I have an avocado w/ coffee for breakfast (~5:45 AM) and that lasts me until ~1pm.
What you really need is a study comparing saturated fats, ideally from butter AND from coconut oil, with monounsaturated fat which is the plant fat recommended as healthiest (olive oil, avocados, almonds), not polyunsaturates that no-one claimed was particularly healthy to begin with. It also needs to looks at all cardiac events, not just death (having cardiac events can reduce life quality).

If you read the wiki about saturated fats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_fat_and_cardiovascul... it's clear that there's no benefit from saturated fats, but potential downfalls.

A more useful headline: "Replacing butter with vegetable oils high in monounsaturated fatty acid reduces risk of cardiac events and neurological disorders" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3705810

So much butter confirmation bias here.
This is sort of my point...

Don't get me wrong, he has every right to run his business in any way he so desires. And, who am I to pass judgement on him for this?

I'm just saying that we shouldn't see this sort of decision making as 'honorable' or 'selfless' in any sense. It's the opposite, in a way.
Why is that? They deliver more mail than all the other US carriers combined, and deal with almost half of the worlds mail traffic. For the truly massive amount of traffic they deal with, they are incredibly accurate and fast. If you have lived in another country like I have, you will quickly learn to appreciate the USPS.
This may be true now, but Simple (the consumer online bank) is currently in the process of shutting down.
Eric Brewer's post on Cloud Spanner mentioned that Google intends to expose TrueTime to customers at some point. If/when that happens, it would be very interesting to see CockroachDB's performance on Google Cloud. (They might have to do some engineering work to accomodate whatever TrueTime API is exposed, but when timekeeping is fundamental to your product, that seems worthwhile.)

Sounds like you picked a bad plan. In the US all 4 national carriers offer unlimited (well technically softcap congestion depriority if you go >20-someGB) plans for under $100. I literally never switch my phone to wifi at home since LTE propagates better and I get more consistent speeds. (Carrier gave me a femtocell so I'm still using my cable ISP for backhaul there). I've scratched 20GB a few months and actively had to try to download livecd's in addition to my usual 320kbps spotify streaming to do it.
Ask HN: Structuring a sabbatical to improve your ability to ship software?
I'm looking for some advice/direction.

I'm a developer in SF. I'm 10 years into my career and getting pushed towards management. I'm about midway through launching a startup with friends. I expect to be working on this project for about year more and I'm trying to decide what's next.

Now that I've had a great opportunity to build a team and ship a bunch of software, I'm coming to the realization that I would like to focus back on my individual craft. I'd like to do that in context of a high functioning team/company that I can learn from. I've had a bunch of experience of 'lets scramble and get it shipped' and I'd like to spend a few years learning from masters.

I have the luxury of having a few months of savings that I can invest in myself/my career. And I should note that I make a habit to read all the books, blogs, etc that I can but I would like to be more interactive in my learning.

I would like to:
- focus on my ability of shipping usable software
- learn and collaborate with a 'master'-level team
- shift away from dynamic web languages (php, perl, ruby)
- use/learn more interesting* tools (oCaml, F#, clojure, elixir, elm)
- continue to be involved in shaping the product

Some ideas I've had:
- part time contract + use the rest of the time for self learning
- part time contract + open source work
- apprentice programs at a 'craft' consultancy like 8th light
- try to find the 'right' job
- find an 'advanced' bootcamp. I'm not aware of any.
- look at graduate schools

So if you had time and resources, how would you invest in yourself to better yourself and develop your career?

I highly doubt more than 1% of Craigslist's userbase cares about this. The reasons are simple: first mover advantage and network effects.
I don't understand how this solution differs from actual side-effects managing libraries such as redux-saga or redux-cycles. Network requests are certainly side-effects and putting all their logic together with your Container code seems like a code-smell.
Is there any reason to believe this won't just be moved to the Obama admin archive or something?

WebRTC seems like a really cool opportunity to rethink certain kinds of services. Video is an obvious candidate, I've also seen a bittorrent client that uses WebRTC. What are other interesting peer to peer applications that WebRTC could enable?

According to WSJ, Pewdiepie has posted nine videos that include anti-Semitic content since August. Three, the one from January 11 and two others from January 17 and January 22, have been taken down. One of those depicted a man dressed as Jesus Christ saying, “Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong.”

"Ha ha ha -- So edgy -- I'm going to tell my 50 million subscribers -- many of whom who are young children that Hitler did nothing wrong -- Death to all Jews -- Can't you take a joke! SJWs!"

I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the virulently anti-Semitic Daily Stormer has a special PewDiePie section:

It didn't occur to the author that social media is the new journalism.
The "container component" pattern is widely used throughout the React world - it's simply any component whose primary responsibility is retrieving some data, and passing that as props to children. Could be making an AJAX call in `componentDidMount`, or something else. In this case, the container components generated by `connect` simply manage a subscription to the Redux store, retrieve the current state when notified, and run your `mapState` and pass the result down. Absolutely no magic at all, and definitely not "also changing any component's state without you knowing it".

Dan Abramov wrote a simplified version of `connect` to illustrate what it does: https://gist.github.com/gaearon/1d19088790e70ac32ea636c025ba... .

As for other libraries, they're still dispatching actions, which means that all updates to the store are traceable (especially if you're using the Redux DevTools).
If you could, move to a sunny state, it's easier to be on such a diet and full of energy if you are in warmer climate. Once during winter I did keto, daily cold shower, daily HIIT, 3-4x strength training/week and then I lost all energy and got sick for a month. I did the same in summer and it was all great.
>This just an assertion, or do you have backing data?

What sort of data? That we (in the West at least) eat far too much? That you won't starve if you skip eating for a day?

I also enjoy eating. What I meant was, people, generally, aren't eating because their body requires nourishment, but rather because it's meal time.
I think there's a strong correlation, judging from the folks I know.

Personally, I like variety, but I'm trying to change.
Luckily businesses transform from innovators to job-generators when they grow, so the small companies can get a piece of the pie.
No, you are not alone. I can't find any performance, tech specs, concurrent connection limits, etc about DO load balancers.
I have a wild theory about longevity. For all the mammals, increased heart rate correlates with lower life span [0]. But heart rate itself may just be a measurement, and what's important is rate of metabolism - higher metabolism, higher heart rate, lower life span. And vice versa.

If we very boldly assume these relationships are causal and predictive to individuals, it follows lower energy consumption -> longer life. Caloric restriction might be one way to do this.

However, with lower metabolism, stuff in the body tend to get older. This will make them fail more easily, then you are likely to get sick, which will shorten your life. Therefore the optimal strategy to maximum life expectancy seems to be control metabolism (by exercise / calory intake etc.) to a certain point where you are just unlikely to get sick, then stop.

Do Okinawans live hungry? Or, do they just eat foods that have lower caloric value for a given volume, along with a culture of not over-eating?
The majority of our time should be spent on worrying about ourselves, our
immediate circle of people, our neighborhood, city, country, planet. In that
order.

In response, I'm just going to quote Martin Niemoller:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Your approach rules out collective action on any kind of scale that can change the direction of a nation. There are always concerns at the family and local levels. What we need to understand is that sometimes concerns at the larger levels (country, planet) that outweigh our local concerns.

As a counterexample, the Minnesota Starvation Experiment found a substantial variety of negative effects from calorie restriction:

> Among the conclusions from the study was the confirmation that prolonged semi-starvation produces significant increases in depression, hysteria and hypochondriasis as measured using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Indeed, most of the subjects experienced periods of severe emotional distress and depression.[1]:161 There were extreme reactions to the psychological effects during the experiment including self-mutilation (one subject amputated three fingers of his hand with an axe, though the subject was unsure if he had done so intentionally or accidentally).[6] Participants exhibited a preoccupation with food, both during the starvation period and the rehabilitation phase. Sexual interest was drastically reduced, and the volunteers showed signs of social withdrawal and isolation.[1]:123–124 The participants reported a decline in concentration, comprehension and judgment capabilities, although the standardized tests administered showed no actual signs of diminished capacity. This ought not, however, to be taken as an indication that capacity to work, study and learn will not be affected by starvation or intensive dieting. There were marked declines in physiological processes indicative of decreases in each subject's basal metabolic rate (the energy required by the body in a state of rest), reflected in reduced body temperature, respiration and heart rate.

You have 14 days to decide you don't like it and take it back, no penalty, which is nice. Plus if you're on a 3-5 year cycle skipping a year is no big deal.

It's also unlikely you're OS locked on a 3-year old machine. My 2012 MacBook Pro still runs current versions of macOS.
"persistent discomfort" is not necessary. I know people who swim in open water; it seems too cold for me, but they are not in persistent discomfort. I know people who drink coffee, it's too bitter for me, but they are not in "ersistent discomfort.

Pain is the body's way to signal illness or injury, when the pain is signalling inaccurate, the brain can learn to not feel the pain.
That's kind of what I did when I was 18. I'd eat a handful of dry cereal, run 5 miles, go to school, then walk uphill for 45 minutes to my job as a produce clerk lifting boxes and stuff, then skip dinner.

On the weekends I would eat like a pig and play Oblivion all day.

Still, I lost 50 pounds in 2 months. I do not recommend this. My lung popped (but it healed itself) and some of my hair fell out (it grew back) from the loss in protein intake. Like I said before, balance is everything.

Still, I do agree it makes sense to be light on the weekdays and splurge on the weekends. After all, there's only so much food you can stuff down your gullet in a span of a couple of days without making yourself sick, regardless of your caloric intake from the previous week.
It avoids answering the question until the ultimate paragraph, and even then it doesn't explain or justify the answer. The whole article is filler.

You might live longer on a calorie restricted diet but you might just die of boredom. Seriously, food is amazing. Why would you deny yourself so much of it.

I use FVWM. I've been using it back in 1990ties. It worked. It works. It is invisible - I really don't require pah-nels and blinks, so I reduced it (editing config files in real editor, heh) to just virtual desktop, few useful shortcuts and some icons. For some sensory stuff I use gkrellm - it gives me a clock, too.

I was using Afterstep, Gnome (2? and 3?) and KDE. All started to fail after one upgrade or another. Unity is a bit too unbearable to me. Came back to FVWM, undusted old configs, all good now. About two months ago I replaced kdeterm with roxterm, which starts about two or three times faster. I guess I am mostly kde- and gnome- free at the moment.

I realize I am in some kind of diminishing minority. As long as I can recompile the source I am not going to complain (too much). Strange times. Who would have imagined I would start thinking of game against open source using older version of it?

BTW, if there are any FVWM devs here, thank you a lot. And please, I beg you on my knees - do not improve. But just in case, I will stash a source code somewhere.
Ok I think my issue with this is that its akin to saying: Given the same users, in the same position, with the same hardware, performing the same gestures, we discovered the signals are consistent enough that a NNet can figure out a pattern. However, if the users, the hardware, the wifi router, the positions, the orientations, the conditions, or the gestures used change, you would need to retrain your NNet for that situation.

After working on a couple of "ambitious" projects that tried to use wifi or bluetooth signals to mine data, it turns out its not super reliable in real-world situations.

You can insure regular mail up to $5000.

You can insure Registered Mail up to $50,000. Registered Mail is treated differently (e.g. stored in locked cages in transit, tamper-evident packaging) and comes with delivery verification. It's also, obviously, slower and more expensive.

Heart rate is genetic - some people like me and my family have increased resting heart rate even while being athletic (one cousin was a table tennis champ and other highly competitive swimmer, both have increased resting rate). And our genes make us look young (20-30s) even in our 50s, as I can see on my relatives. So different genotypes have different characteristics I guess.

The first thing I do whenever I subscribe to a service these days is research how difficult it is to unsubscribe from it. I was tempted to get Sunday delivery for some of those newspapers in the article but realized that it would be tough to get out of them.

I think this type of interaction might make sense for a different type of customer. I imagine people who are getting the physical version of a newspaper might be older or less tech-savvy so the "bad old way" of waiting in a call center queue on hold might be what they are expecting instead of a fancy complicated web interface.
