The "a calorie is a calorie" approach to diet and health has been thoroughly debunked.

Our bodies metabolize carbs, protein, and fat, very differently. If a calorie is a calorie is a calorie, then we need to be able to explain why two people eating the same amount of calories per day, but one eating a high fat, low carb diet, and the other a low fat high carb diet see starkly different outcomes. All things equal except the composition of their diet, the person on the HF diet will stay lean and feel consistently satiated, while the LF person will put on more fat and feel hungry far more frequently than the HF.

IMO, the claim that all calories are created equally is the most damaging "science" that's been put forth as common knowledge about dieting.
his youtube lectures and interviews are also good.

i wouldn't advise sharing his findings with most other people though, especially those who are prone to get swept up with the prevailing beliefs on things like low-fat eating and/or fasting.

the great thing about modern society with regards to diet is you can eat whatever you want and get your blood and weight/fat% tested as often as you want without anyone else's input or permission.
If there were some better known examples of what lisp macros were good for then maybe it would get better traction. But lisp macros don't seem to have an example of why they are worth that trade.

FYI, Paul Graham's book, "On Lisp" covers macros in detail and is available as a free download here, if you are interested in the topic:

http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html

The book's description [0]:

On Lisp is a comprehensive study of advanced Lisp techniques, with bottom-up programming as the unifying theme. It gives the first complete description of macros and macro applications. The book also covers important subjects related to bottom-up programming, including functional programming, rapid prototyping, interactive development, and embedded languages. The final chapter takes a deeper look at object-oriented programming than previous Lisp books, showing the step-by-step construction of a working model of the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS).

As well as an indispensable reference, On Lisp is a source of software. Its examples form a library of functions and macros that readers will be able to use in their own Lisp programs.

It doesn't--this is one of those times where the statement makes zero sense, but it was fun to bash Reagan. No, the whole story of runaway costs can be explained quite easily by the financialization of higher ed--the liberal student loan policies championed during the Clinton Administration tied to the typical greed of Wall Street bankers, enabled by the bleeding heart "everyone should go to college" drama.

Everyone got paid, except the sheep who got sheared.
That's the answer. If Netflix is on the top grossing app charts, it's due entirely to signups that happen within the Netflix app, not on Netflix.com.

The better way to think about the list is "top grossing apps for Apple/Google". Their 30% cut is what they're counting there.
> ...this is a hypothetical...

Ok. And it's a bad hypothetical because it emphasizes individual roi instead of systems-level effects when discussing a problem where all the interesting action is in the systems-level effects.

I understand it's a hypothetical. I think it's a distracting hypothetical.

> Not to be rude, but that has no relevance whatsoever to the article

It has every bit of relevance to the article because college is more than just an individual investment opportunity. The benefits of a large college educated population are enjoyed by an entire society.

The real take-away from the article is that we apparently don't tax capital well enough because there's an absurd arbitrage opportunity for lazy people who have 200k in the bank. Or that the benefits of a college educated populace are high enough, and the cost also high enough, that we should be subsidizing college more than we currently are. Not that college is over-priced. The fact that your jump to the latter conclusion instead of the former is exactly the problem with this hypothetical.

> The specifics don't matter.. Again not to be rude but I often feel like people on here have this disease that doesn't allow them to generalize from specifics. ;-)

Look. Either I'm not supposed to generalize from this specific case, or else your entire complaint is really confusing. Generalizing from this specific leads to all the wrong conclusions.
> 1. Privatize student loans entirely, and give them eligibility for bankruptcy.

Lenders will just requires parents to co-sign so anyone who is not from a well off family can no longer go to college. It will also stop the ability for the student to go into bankruptcy and discharge the student loan debt.

Sadly it is a notion that is creeping into the FOSS world as well. Just look at the antics of certain desktop projects.

Basic thing is that power users and "security" do not mix. And yes, there is a small aspect of protection from external threats in there. But just as much it is about paternalism, and, in the case of Microsoft, about shoring up revenue streams.
Asciidoc is wonderful, especially with Asciidoctor, which has now become the de-facto standard renderer. (It's what github uses, for example.)

It's as easy as Markdown (and the syntax is so similar it's not hard to switch), but just has much better design, along with supporting the features you need once you start having enough documentation that you need an actual tech writer. Plus, it's still just plain text, so it plays nice with Git and is thoroughly readable without being rendered.
I think you and the OP are very unlikely to be understood using that construction.
I don't see it that way. The 80s "greed is good" mentality laid the groundwork for the fleecing, but that was not Reagan's fault other than perhaps that administration was the time when financialization of everything began. Think "junk bonds" then think "loans that can't be discharged in bankruptcy."
Most of the time kids just get "season" markers. Like, "Thanks for playing on our soccer team 2017" which I don't see as that harmful. They're trophies sometimes, simple white plastic base with some gold circle or whatever (at least the few times I've seen it) - it's a nice way to close out the season and have something on the shelf to remember, not a huge deal. I think kids notice when the trophy says "First Place." I know I knew the difference.
Exploring Lazy Evaluation with Julia
This is a good point-by-point discussion and worth a read. It isn't really about 'bro culture', more about underrepresentation of women in software development.

As with many such articles, this one talks a bit about the toxic reception women get in the video game industry. While the game world's treatment of women is particularly nasty, male developers don't exactly have an easy time there either. It's a nasty business. While game development is a good source of lurid examples of mistreatment, I feel like that particular industry is not a good proxy for tech in general. Happy to be shown to be wrong.

Read through the list of S&P 500 stocks.

Almost none of those companies could exist -- especially at their current scale -- without a huge pool of college-educated engineers/scientists/doctors.

There may be a lot of employees there not using their degrees. But the true value creators at S&P 500 companies are certainly not those people.
yes, I assumed that to be the book they meant. I read it 25 years ago. I am just surprised that it would be included in this list. I see no connection to the question posed.
Define "meaningfully better." Perhaps you mean statistically significantly better? It may have better accuracy, but it has significantly less interpretability. What does it capture that regression couldn't capture? At least with regression you can interpret the relationship between all of the variables and their relative importance by looking at the coefficients of the regression. With deep learning, the best approaches for explanation are to train another model at the same time that you use for explanation. Additionally, it was proven that a perceptron can learn any function, so in some senses the "deep" part of deep learning is because people are being lazy because at least you could get a better interpretation of the perceptron. I don't mean to imply that there's not a place for deep learning, but I think this isn't a great refutation of the argument that fitting a deep model is somewhat inappropriate for a small dataset.

I'm with you on that concern, but on the other hand, it wouldn't be the first time society has seen a rapid mechanisation of significant parts of the economy (e.g., agrarian workers, textiles workers).

Yet every time it happens, there's a reorganisation, and eventually the people (or the kinds of people) who did those jobs are employed doing new things.

Is there some reason why everything is suddenly different this time?

Here's a couple of ways that spring to my mind, for how society could absorb the labor that would be freed up if driver automation happened:

- As increasing numbers of professional people around the world are becoming cash rich but time-poor, there is, and should continue to be, a growing demand for people to provide domestic services like cleaning, home maintenance, personal administration tasks, child-care, etc.

- As the number of machines continue to grow, there will be growing demand for people to work on the machines. Whether it's designing, programming, manufacturing, testing, transporting, fitting, servicing, cleaning, replacing, or disposing of the machines, there will be plenty of work for people of all kinds of aptitude.

First time I used an IBM PC I thought it was awful. I was used to 8 bit micros that had: colour, OS in ROM, BASIC in ROM, and sound.

You couldn't do anything with it before you used at least two disks: one for DOS and the other with an application.

I thought business people liked them because they wanted boring machines on purpose.

And then came the 16 bits machines: Amiga, ST, etc. And then the Acorn Archimedes. And IBM PCs were still awful. They started to make sense to me when 386s came about.
I had no pressing need to upgrade to the new MacBook Pro and I'm glad I've waited but the reintroduction of the magsafe charger would be pretty awesome.

Also no USB-C on the new iPhone is slightly disappointing even if it does mean I don't have to buy all new cables.
> The truth is, ingested fat can not be turned into bodyfat directly. It is way easier for the body to turn carbs into fat than it is to turn fat into fat.

> Caloric restriction is bs. Carb restriction is key. You can literally eat until your stomach hurts all day long and lose weight. Its what Ive done.

I'm sorry but your post is not supported by the research at all. The process which turns carbs into fat is called de novo lipogenesis and is extremely rare in humans. It only happens when your glycogen stores are full AND after masssive overfeed of carbohydrates(500 grams+) for days.

http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/74/6/707.long

Hellerstein, 2001

the addition of excess carbohydrate energy to a mixed diet so that total energy intake exceeded total energy expenditure (TEE) increased body fat stores, but not by conversion of the carbohydrate to fat. Instead, the oxidation of dietary fat was suppressed and fat storage thereby increased.

[...]

Thus, de novo lipogenesis does become a quantitatively major pathway when carbohydrate energy intake exceeds TEE, but this circumstance is unusual in daily life.

Also, calorie restriction is not "bs".Protein is more satisfying, spares lean mass and has a larger TEF(thermic effect of food), which makes it great for fat loss. A carb restricted diet is usually high in protein, since carbs are typically replaced by meat, cheese etc and that is a confounding factor.

The point is that low-carb diets are not good because they are low in carbs, rather they work well because they are high in protein. In fact, when studies control for protein i.e the protein content is the same for the low and higher carb groups, the fat loss is the pretty much the same. See Johnston CS et. al (2006)
I don't think you're being charitable to the Rust team. They are quite vocal about how important they think API stability is. But they're also vocal about how important it is to get it right. For those reasons, they're upfront about what APIs are guaranteed to not change, and what APIs are still experimental. As an outsider, I think they do an excellent job of being transparent about the process.

And that's half of what this article boils down to, "as if these websites are above these". Google rankings for one story - the author is very specific in fetching that story - aren't going to strictly follow alexa rankings of entire websites. I can see pro-trump users clicking "No evidence of trump-russia collaboration" much more commonly than people who don't want to believe it is true. The author is onto something very believable, but he doesn't so much have evidence as whining.
I don't know if they specifically apply to this study, but Stephan Guyenet has pointed out some of the potential problems with what are typically called "high-fat" diets for mice.*

For example one research diet that is called high-fat, D12492
- is extremely high in fat (60%)
- does not contain what are generally considered to be particularly healthy forms of fat
- is extremely processed overall
- is typically used with genetically obesogenic mice
- typically causes obsesity and neuron damage (and often diabetes) at a young age.

I would think there are quite a few studies on Intermittent Fasting (IF) that more easily generalize to humans.

Unless you actually set the address bar (i.e. window.location) to localhost:25519 I don't think this is going to work. I've used ajax with REST APIs that return 302s and you will receive the body of the destination page as the return value to the ajax call. The page in the window (window.location) is not going to change. And this is of course if localhost:25519 returns the proper CORS headers in the first place to allow the ajax GET to even occur.

I think the only way this could work is if you set the window.location to localhost:25519 when starting the SQRL authentication. That will result in harder UX problems to solve but it does seem feasible.

Regardless, having reviewed FIDO and the W3C Web Authentication API, it seems to me that SQRL doesn't have a chance of seeing any wide adoption once those two are available. They have the dual advantage of standardization and platform control that are nearly impossible to overcome by external offerings.

While this is an interesting read, it's pretty much a textbook case of what happens when you don't perform your diligence.

At every turn the couple seems to make monumentally reckless decisions -- from spending more than they can afford, to buying a nearly condemned halfway home and expecting modest repair work, to buying it pretty much sight unseen, to hiring a friendly stranger as a contractor, to commencing $300k+ in contract labor without funding secured, to bribing squatters with big wads of cash. Squatters who obviously know where the couple lives.
