I used to faint on occasion and once was hospitalized because of it. They found that my blood sugar was very low (31) and kept measuring it even at night. It kept getting lower than the doctors liked and they made me eat bananas at 3am. However, they never found a explanation and eventually released me without any diagnosis or advise. So I always was concerned about my blood sugar.

About a year ago there was a similar article on here as this one. So I really wanted to fast, but had similar concerns as you have now. So I went out and got a cheap blood glucose measuring device as diabetics use. I measured my blood glucose over the course of a day and then tried intermittent fasting the following days. Everything was great. I felt weak and generally shitty in the late morning on the first day I did this, but that went away on its own by noon even before I ate at 1pm. Meanwhile my blood glucose was fine.

Maybe it will be different in your case, but why not find out? If you measure your blood glucose frequently and have good at hand in case it does get too low, what could go wrong.

Of course I'm not a doctor and you better talk to one than just trusting don't random guy on the internet.
Probably, but doing it correctly would require a whole different type of opsec expertise that should not realistically be expected from someone who is getting their security tips from The Intercept.
Have you tried asking them? It feels vaguely ridiculous to expect hard data and facts on things of "people told me". I know I have female friends who have told me similar stories, but I couldn't for the life of me remember how many, nor would I want to start iterating these anecdotes to a stranger on the internet. In exactly the same way it would be to start statistically analysing any other statement on "people told me [x]".

As for the latter, putting lines in the sand is a good way to be seen as not wanting to listen... I'm not saying that's what you're doing in this case, just how it comes across. Like, you've decided in advance what you want the result from the discussion to be, and no woman will be able to cross whatever standard you've chosen for inappropriate propositions (even when this is totally untrue).
I directly experience dreams and optical illusions, too. Trusting your perception is basically the opposite of science.
Perhaps not something insanely obvious like Grouch Marx moustache and glasses, but more subtle? I'm not really very well aware of how advanced face recognition, etc. is at this point in time though. But I'd guess anyone who cares enough about opsec to go through this process might also be decent at passable disguise techniques.

I agree with that; I do my fasting during the working week, my typical one is 3 to 5 days, starting sunday evening and more often than not, finish by a fantastic meal on the friday evening.

I haven't tried longer than this, as it suits me. As I mentioned in another post, I get a nice mental high on the 3 and 4th day, but the 5th I'm actually quite happy to hit the food again. Oh and crack a beer :-)

I'm fairly sure I could continue, but I feel that my physical performance would decrease, while the typical 5 day one I don't have any sign of fatigue -- I do tend to sleep a bit more tho.

I do quite a bit of clay pigeon shooting -- that's a sport that requires good speed/strength and mental acuity-- and during a fast I feel quicker and will likely do a better score than on a normal weekday.

The Trek 500.

It's a bicycle. It's a steel bicycle, which is out of favor these days, but Trek still makes a few each year. And they haven't really changed the design since it was introduced in the 80's. Why? Because it's the perfect bicycle.

At least, if you're doing a very particular thing. I rode one from the Oregon Coast to Long Island. It was an unsupported tour, so I had about 50 pounds of gear strapped to it the whole way. While my companions suffered various breakdowns and issues, the 500 was rock solid. It doesn't get fancy on components-- no disk breaks or electronic shifting. Everything on it can be easily repaired, removed, or replaced with your two hands and a compact multi-tool. The steel frame will stand up to any manner of abuse. Hearing about the whole tough-as-nails thing, you assume it won't be that pleasing to ride. You assume wrong.
Edward Heath died in 2005. How is the cover up of Edward Heath's alleged[1] crimes relevant to Brexit?

[1] There have been many allegations made by "Nick", and everyone now accepts none of these are true.
This is exactly the problem! :)

For example for 「何」 you'll likely seen the kana written as 「なに」 instead of 「なん」 for 「何ですか」
The sharp r-9xx series still have dial knobs for power and time, as well as all the fancy features. Easy stuff is simple, complex is possible. They cook evenly and last for ages.
This seems to be specifically for grids. Of course essentially no modern AAA game uses grids for navigation anyway, they use convex polys in a nav mesh.
Title's misleading. A* is also 100x faster than A* ;) It depends a lot on the graph you give it.

JPS by itself (not JPS+ in this video) is notable for not requiring any precomputation to achieve some speedup.

If you're willing to precompute some things, there are lots of other techniques available for unweighted grid maps. http://www.cs.du.edu/~sturtevant/papers/GPPC-2014.pdf has an overview of techniques and some benchmarks that use real-world game maps (Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age).

I believe the "goal bounding" from the video is called "arc flags" in the literature.
Sure, accepting a sub-optimal result often makes an infeasible problem easy. Extra credit if you can bound the sub-optimality.
It's been around for decades, but it was always a term used by the left, similar to "fake news." One of Trumps more effective (and disturbing) tactics in the past year or two has been to co-opt this language and redefine it in basically opposite terms by simply repeating it ad nauseum.

Now instead of having a debate about the allegations and evidence that people in this administration have broken numerous laws, we're discussing the _intentions_ of the "leakers" themselves, rather than the rather substantial amount of publicly sourced and substantiated evidence that suggests people have a right to be concerned.

It's like getting caught stealing a piece of candy and blaming it all on your friend because they ratted you out.
Definitely. You wouldn't know it looking at me, but I spent a month eatin only vegetables. Not raw, but no sauces other than some olive oil. I ate a donut after and it was so sweet it felt acidic.

> Here's a list of potential negative outcomes of lawyering up

Aren't most of these potential negative outcomes of suing, not lawyering up?

Having a conversation with a lawyer who specializes in employment law to get a temperature-check on your specific situation (does it qualify as harassment, what are your options, what are likely outcomes of exercising these options given precedent case law, etc) will not result in "having your weird texts, emails, personal life and sexual history being dragged out in a public court case".

Even if you do sue, most lawsuits (especially discrimination ones) are settled out of court, without lascivious details being made public.

You've fasted for a month once or twice, do I read that right? Did you do any kind of write-up about it, a blog, anything? Very interested in your experiences.
The worst part is you don't even need a crystal for that. Anything that's connected to line power has a built-in 60 Hz oscillator that is adjusted so that it will never gain or lose more than a few seconds...

> Fish and taro isn't going to make anyone fat in a hurry.

It's easy to attribute dishes as healthy when just considering fish and taro, but this fails to acknowledge its traditional preparation with high amounts of coconut milk, salt, and sugar. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a nutritional facts label for any traditional dish? I can only speak anecdotally in that traditional Samoan dishes are not unlike Micronesia to the degree that Georgia Southern foods are clearly distinct from Alabama's flavor (that is to say they're not).

I think one of the biggest problems is the dependence of poorer remote islands in the Pacific on less perishable foods: think canned goods like Spanish sausage, Spam, sardines, Palm corned beef (from NZ), etc. or cheap frozen meats by the box, e.g. ribs, chicken, turkey legs, etc.

When I was growing up, my father would make the ocassional business trip to the FSM (specifically Palau). He'd bring boxes of frozen ribs and chicken with him and exchange for coolers of fresh lobster with his local contacts. Throw in a few cases of canned Budweiser and those business negotiations always turned out great. This might sound crazy to people who grew up in 1st-world countries, but it's a thing, and if you grew up on the islands as I did, then you know precisely what's up.

The 'rebuilt for AWS' phrase is key.
FWIW, in the UK you can buy a burner phone and SIM in cash without giving away any personal details at most supermarkets (at least Tesco and Sainsbury's). With the new EU regulations removing roaming charges, you can fly to London on holiday, and buy a UK burner phone anonymously with two years of data on it that's enough for heavy Twitter use in all of the EU for £240 + phone cost.

If you're under enough surveillance that your adversary will follow you on holiday and track all your supermarket purchases, you have bigger problems.
"I use both approaches just about every day" is the only sane answer here. Different tools for different jobs. What would think if you met carpenters who described themselves as "Hammerists" or "Sawsallitarians"?
There's pathfinding and pathfinding. This thread is about exact algorithms for rectangular grids, not approximate algorithms for a continuous space.
So, I believe this, but what gives me comfort here is having seen companies try to performance-manage people out (for legit reasons!) and fail because of protected-class problems. As soon as you can credibly allege retaliation, your case gets 100x more expensive to dispose of. In two companies, one of which I had a senior role at at the time, I've seen the companies cave and pay out to make them go away.

I have another sad story to share.

My wife and I used to have this small grill oven with two knobs: one for time and one for temperature. She was into baking cookies and I was into her works. I was also into toasting bread for breakfast.

One day she appeared to be ready for the next level and demanded that we replace it with a shiny electronic grill oven with larger capacity. Replace we did but the next thing I found out was the previous 1 second toasting experience where I turn the time knob to 5 minutes has turned into a 27 button press procedure: first press to select mode; 25 presses to tune the time from the default 30 minutes down to 5 minutes; and one final press to start it.

The worst part of this is, she's probably only used it for once or twice before moving along with other interests than baking cookies, but I had to endure the 27 button presses every morning.
> How do you write an entire article like that without anyone asking "hey so, how is this a risk?".

We don't know what they did in the course of writing the article or how the article ended up as it is. Maybe they did ask that, and the person they asked views the situation differently than you do; maybe they got conflicting answers and chose what was most convincing. Maybe they wrote about it and the editor cut it.

(For argument sake, I'm accepting your conclusion about the article's shortcomings; I don't know about that myself.)

If I skip just two meals I get irritability, acid reflux, upset stomach, headache, and at worst, aggressive.

The acid reflux can sometimes get so bad that my ears start to get clogged I get other ENT symptoms.

I don't see how people can do it. I can't.
> I stop when I start feeling hungry - usually after a week or so, but once or twice after a month.

So first 5 days of your fast you don't feel hungry at all?

What was the reason you started to fast? I just wonder if there is any benefit of it for someone who eats healthy food, has no extra weight and good energy levels? It seems like most of these researchers are focused on already sick people and don't provide any data on healthy individuals, unless I am missing something, I don't see a reason to "reset" my immune system since it seems to be working fine.
It might not be the main motivation, but it's certainly a legitimate concern. Malware does get distributed via illegal content sharing sites. Those sites do get used for phishing and card fraud.

While I can't say I'm full of sympathy for pirates who get hoist by their own petard, plenty of innocent people also get hurt because they don't realise the site they are visiting is not kosher. It was high up on their favourite search engine, after all!

Sending their users to those dangerous sources is hardly in any search engine's best interests, regardless of any other incentives that may be at work here.

That's the point. Email spam works because sending a billion emails costs nearly nothing, and these companies in effect spam takedown notices that clearly have no basis in reality. A DMCA takedown is supposed to be a legal document, I've never once heard of legal documents that it's ok to just throw into the fucking wind with a minigun, that metaphor working both for quantity and accuracy here.

This is similar to the problem where YouTube content claims cause all video revenue to be diverted to the complainant, before any review has actually occurred and leaving no recourse to the victim. There's literally zero downsides to filing the claim, so why not do it? Why not claim everything?

I believe I was rejected after a job interview because of not drinking.

Another boss I had any a different job told me he fired someone for not partying with everyone else. If you went to these parties and didn't drink, the boss would harass you all night.

I eventually got to the point where I was like, "Fk it, I'll do it on my own." Now we're looking at microtrenching, which is probably an even larger endeavor, but at least we'll own the conduit.

> three agencies assessed with high confidence the attribution of the campaign to Russia. The medium confidence assertion was about whether Russia intended to actually get President Trump elected, of which evidence is not clear or strong

That document was intended to be persuasive, not comprehensive. It blurred together a lot of different things, attributed them all to the same plot by Putin, and used paragraph after paragraph of filler material to "support" the various claims.

Of all the claims making up the "argument" in the document, none of the ones that could possibly be verified by data were verified by data. We were told such data exists, but not shown any evidence of it.

I was deeply embarrassed that our government would release such an amateurish document, and even more embarrassed that the document would be cited as evidence by people who should know better.
I used to, but not so much these days. I'm not really interested in commercialising my photography (it's a LOT of work and its hard to make a decent living from) and I generally don't mind people sharing them non-commercially. Commercial use is a different matter and I do keep a bit of an eye on it (https://pixsy.com/ is great for this), but in my experience it is rare for them to get used inappropriately without being asked permission first. I also don't put them online at high enough a resolution to be useful for printing which cuts down any offline abuse.

The story you linked is an interesting one, especially given how heavy handed Getty are when it comes to misuse of any of their images in the reverse situation. Personally I think what Getty have done here is completely unethical but given the public domain nature of the images in question they might be in the clear here.
Trump’s Whitehouse has stopped publishing open data
This is issue is not related to ordering, but to visibility (i.e., when is a memory side effect globally visible).

Many concurrent memory models (C++ at least, java very likely) allow coalescing stores to atomic variables as long as there is no other interleaving side effect; this is normally a desirable optimization.

As described by dvyukov, the go compiler seems to be aggressively coalescing all stores till the end of the loop (which never happens).

Store coalescing is desirable, but it is hard to specify completely, for example the C++ standard has non normative wording stating that stores should be visible in a reasonable amount of time exactly to prevent this sort of issues.
