"Uber values"

The simple fact that they circumvent local laws and authorities in many many countries is undermining their credibility by default. Can't even get to the part how they treat their (women) employees. Uber is a toxic company to the core.

I agree, but on these discussions, that subset of developers just gets packaged into developers as whole, as if there wasn't anything else.

Personally I know UNIX since Xenix days, do have a vast experience across UNIX variants, use it in some form in many projects, but rather use OS X and Windows environment.

For strange as it may seem, some of us are actually happier with the GUI developer tooling culture of OS X, Windows, Android, iOS.
I mean that's saying that because you exercise you will probably get more hungry to offset the calories burned so if you eat more you could end up with a net negative.

There are studies (eg. [1]) that show that your resting metabolic rate increases significantly if you do strength training (although from what I've read the effect is limited to men). RMR is like 70% of your total calorie burn - so increasing it by 7-9% from strength training is a significant chunk.

So from my experience it's possible to cut fat and gain muscles by doing strength training if you can keep your calories in check - and it's faster than just dieting (tried both). The number on the scale will go down as at about the same rate because you'll be packing on some lean body mass and you'll see the BF % go down faster.

There's a difference between losing weight and being fit. You'd typically end up unhealthily skinny if you want to have a flat belly without exercising. Many people complaining about their belly aren't even that fat and just need to have proper abs (as well as back and perineal!) training to hold their viscera and prevent them to try to run away forward because gravity rides everything.
Why is it that hard for engineers to rely on good old attribution?

If every Google's featured snippet started its reply with "Breitbart says..." or "Trent Online, the leading Internet Newspaper in Nigeria said...", it wouldn't matter so much for those inevitable cases when the reply is taken straight from a white-supremacist or radical anarchist forum. The problem comes when the same reply is provided as "Google's true answer to the question" without further caveats.

Hey I've got news for you. Developers don't just waltz in and start coding from day 1, they need to be brought up to speed on the systems. Your business-nosed attitude needs a reality check. Developers are human capital, not robots.

If your review is supposed to be about hourly billing providers, shouldn't you actually mention that in the review? Because you didn't say a single thing about that in the review. Neither did you say in your review that it was about being able to spin up a server within a minute.

>Something that strikes me here: Coming from a european standpoint, using commas as a delimiter for 3-digit groups seems like a very silly decision. (...) On the other hand, the Germans seem to use commas as decimal marks, which is even sillier.

Huh? From what I've seen across the world, it's either "commas for decimals marks and periods for 3-digit group delimiter", or the inverse ("periods for decimal mark and commas for 3-digit group delimiter").

I can understand finding one or the other "silly" (depending on what you are accustomed to), but you seem to find both of these combinations silly.

Which is the third possibility that you consider non-silly?

(Note: reading again, you seem to imply the apostrophe for groups and period for decimal mark is the best option. It might be, but is it used anywhere outside of Germany?)
It seems that the part about the Neutron EDM is outdated.

This is why every regulation should go through a period of public hearings before being approved.

Genuine question: I've never understood the non zero sum game idea in the context of economic inequality. If I win more than you lose, overall it's a non zero sum game, as in, our combined gaines are greater than before (the pie is larger), but you still lose(you get a smaller piece). Would someone be interested in highlighting some counter arguments to this?

> The researchers behind the study found that people who have had success losing weight share a few things in common: They weigh themselves at least once a week. They restrict their calorie intake, stay away from high-fat foods, and watch their portion sizes.

> They also exercise regularly.

So we should exercise to lose weight, contrary to the title of the article?

>Nobody wants to write proofs as English prose like they did when first proving basic algebraic properties.

You'd be surprised. Mathematical proofs contain lots of "english prose".

>Yet, I challenge you to back up your statement about character counting by showing me a Computer Scientist and a Software Engineer who no longer writes or uses traditional mathematical notation for anything, but has systematically moved over to the more intuitive and natural programming language of their choice, such as Scheme, C, or Haskell.

That's irrelevant. Best tool for the job et al.

>APL is a suitable replacement for Mathematical notation and was designed as such.

That doesn't make it suitable for programming in general.

And mathematical notation is much richer than APL, it's not constrained by mere sequential characters on a line.
I can second this sentiment somewhat.

I've got a different background than you, but I still feel the same a lot of the time, since the "less successful" people don't speak up that much and with all the side projects people seem to have, a bit of a workaholic image of the community is created.

I've had times myself where I had to remind myself to live between regular work and (even just small) side projects.

I've not used Scaleway but for what it's worth Digital Ocean's snapshot feature only works offline too (and takes forever to run). I'd also made the same complaints as yourself that an offline "snapshot" isn't really what I would class as a "snapshot". A "clone" would be a more apt description.

Anyhow, semantics aside, I seriously wouldn't recommend DO for any serious work. It's fine if you freelance in Wordpress or other off the shelf products but if you have any serious work to do then just don't even waste your time with DO as it's solutions are slow, inflexible and, in my professional opinion, immature when compared to other leading cloud providers.

Possible, this means you were already eating very close to your TDEE, all you needed was to slash off a few calories (which you burned cycling) to be on a caloric deficit. Plus the cycling sped up your metabolism enough so that your body at rest also burned more calories. This is how you lost weight.

Doesn't work for everyone cause most out of shape people eat far above their TDEE, and simply don't exercise enough to burn enough calories to cut away that surplus and get into a deficit.

Bogost & Montfort's Racing the Beam (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_the_Beam) is about that very practice, though concerning the Atari 2600 in particular.
So long as you are using floating point, most bets are off. What you can do with FP is use exact predicates which are always correct. That might, for example tell you if two lines intersect, or if a point is inside/outside a polygon without precision issues.

The problem with that is that you will soon want to construct geometrical entities. For example, if you intersect lines that have their ends on integer coordinates you can't represent the intersection on integers (You will need rationals, in that case). The same applies to floating point - two line segments with floating point coordinates will not have their intersection representable in floating point.

So for proper robustness in all situations you need "exact predicates and exact constructions". A middle ground is "exact predicates and inexact constructions". These modes are different kernels usable in e.g. CGAL. http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Kernel_23/group__kernel__predef.h...

Even something seemingly simple such as saying "is point C to the left or right of the line A->B" is very hard in floating point. It's possible without too much sweat to use kind of series expansion where the length of the expansion depends on the precision needed (you only go as far as you need to answer the predicate, so often only 2-3 terms) https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/robust.html

> Configuration file should be declarative and passive.

It is very convenient - and sometimes absolutely necessary - to allow people to put their logic into configuration. Things like if dev_env: debug = true else debug = false. Or whatever else they might need there. Without that, you are forcing users to use something outside of your config files to generate that logic. The best approach depends on usecase.
