There are, in Brazil you get at least 3 to 5 bananas in every single market.

Some are more sweet like "Prata" some are bigger like "Nanica", some are smaller like "Banana ouro" or one that smells somewhat like an apple called "banana maça".

There is also one for cooking "Banana da terra" used to make fish dishes mainly.

If you go to farmers there are even more.

It's probably a cultural thing, in the Netherlands you can find mainly 2 types, regular international one and the Cooking kind because of Asians mostly, which makes me really sad, Australia is like that as well.

Yup, what I'm usually missing in those is the actual difference in calorie intake. Going vegan for example will reduce a lot because you'd naturally eat less fats. Going carb-free, same story. They're probably more popular than counting calories because there's Rules to adhere to, which is more easy than trying to guess how many grams of pasta are in your plate.
Peanut butter is pretty good.

It's basically half fat, quarter protein, quarter carbs. Salt can be added or not.

Show HN: Maximise Your Annual Leave – UK
I built a website (https://maximiseyourannualleave.co.uk) that helps to plan 2018 annual leave in the UK.

For example, if you want to book 15 days, you have:

- 10 different dates to have 26 days off

- 16 different dates to have 25 days off

- 31 different dates to have 24 days off

Is that useful for someone?
Not really true - as the other poster said, they are all part of a sort of species-complex. Some cultivars need to be cooked for hours, some for minutes, some are tasty without cooking.

That's why a proper dietician-supplied diet will go for a calorie deficiency of a few hundred, max 500 below your maintenance; any lower and your body will go into hunger mode, and simply use less calories. Eat less, but not too much less. Losing a pound per week is about the maximum you should aim for. It'd probably be more if you're obese, but along with the fat you're losing a lot of water. (also, carbs cause more water retention)
Fat isnt a problem. You can eat as much fat as you want(of course general advice goes about eating varied) as long as it doesent come with carbs. Its the carbs you need to lookk out for (which are also in potatoes)

>And as usual with OOP, you end up with terrible inefficiencies

That is not a property of OOP. Counterexample: C++ is OOP and it's not inefficient.
It's a property of having no control over the memory layout and no stack allocation.
If Java gets value types it's efficiency would massively increase while still remaining OOP.
For me, intermittent fasting would basically mean just skipping breakfast; after that I have lunch at around noon and dinner at about six, outside of that I don't really eat (maybe in the weekends).

You're ignoring the "cognitive load" and "attention requirements" of the mythical "correct and efficient" interface. Sometimes I want to use 99.999% of my brain for something else and I want to mindlessly use that microwave with the 0.0001% left. My desired thought process is "woo, woo, monkey-wuga, up-turny-power, down-turny-time, woo, woop, warmy my banana woop, woop!" or something simpler than that. And I also don't use it in a regular/predictable pattern, so auto-pressing one button for one of the "regular" time intervals might be useless for me since what I do is always irregular and sometimes irrational ("hmm, I wanna see some fireworks to light up my mood, let's microwave my colleague's USB stick labeled "bitcoins" for the lulz!").

The problem is not designing for sellability. Is not acknowledging that (1) some people don't want to RTFM! and (2) other people are OK with RTFM but want serious efficiency and correctness gains for it, "I pain, now you gimme gain!".

So you figure out who your users are and design for your users.

Now, the absolute worst is the parent article's example, where someone managed to "design for no possible user" by both forcing people to RTFM and providing zero efficiency and correctness benefits in return. But designing for the wrong user is also bad.

Are you suggesting that companies like HP or Lenovo couldn't get into producing ARM chips if they wanted to ?

Intel isn't threatened by ARM yet in a performance laptop.

Of course one could reply laptops don't need that much power anymore to do what most users use them for today (thus people even here using tablet as their main tool) but that's another issue entirely, "much cheaper and good enough", one where Apple isn't Intel's main opponent either (I would even wager in that one, Intel is its own ennemy, given how terrible they've been handling the Atom brand and performance to protect margins).

And my mother-in-law lost and keeps off over 100 pounds by restricting random food groups, however she still eats very high carb. And when I say random, I really mean random! There's literally no rhyme or reason to her choices other than she thinks they are "bad."

Same with my vegan+ friend, high carb, 80 pounds kept off for a decade. I say vegan+ because she's vegan plus she has other random restrictions.

Those are the two people I can think of right away because they've been doing their diets for a really, really long time and they always pack their own food everywhere they go. For these long term heavy restrictors, it's absolutely not any reduction in carbs.
Then why wouldn't AMD just launch a combined chip with their own technology for both CPU and GPU?
This seems incredibly stupid. You can't ban kids from having just one or a few friends, it's one thing to teach them manners etc. But saying you can't have close friends seems just plain stupid if I understand the article correctly and doesn't reflect the life of grown-ups at all.

> Best friends, with their tight bonds and inside jokes, throw a wrench into that open environment, school officials contend.

How? The article doesn't explain why it should. Only because you have close friends doesn't automatically mean that you are hostile towards everyone else.

I am a grown up, I only have a few friends and I think that is perfectly normal. I hate this kind of over protecting, "we know better than you" mentality. Personally I think it's way more important to have a few close friends than a lot of people you are simply loosely connected to.

Even the science is against it the idea:

> And although anti-best-friend policies may help kids in the short-term, research suggests the strong connections found among best friends could be vital for mental health in a world where adolescents are lonelier than ever.

Sometimes I wonder if it isn't our fiction which forms and drives our expectations about what our future should look like.

There are actually people who consider a story like Minority Report not as a cautionary tale but rather as a challenge along the lines of "They just did it wrong in fiction, we can do it better in reality!".

We actually know that QM (or rather QFT) cannot be the whole story because it cannot be renormalised and reconciled with general relativity, so quite possibly the definitive theory will not be expressed in terms of linear algebra and thus maybe the Universe is not based on linear algebra.

Ok fine: The sun for example is not physically in the place it appears to be due to the 8 minutes of light travel time and the fact it moves about one diameter across the sky in two minutes.

I just feel that if you talk about where the sun appears to be you can infer from context that I talk about actual sky positions and motions, not the inferred global state of the solar system, but here we are.

Anyway, the central fact in my argument is that the light that reaches us from the sun has travelled for 8 minutes, and so shows us now^1 where the sun would have been on the sky^2 8 minutes ago if we then had observed it by superluminal means.

Now, that there are no superluminal means to observe the sun with (as far as we know) is not crucial to the point because there are other situations where one mode of observation carries older information than other. That is the example of observing^3 the distant air plane with sound waves, and then with the supersonic means of light waves. The sound waves emitted at a given point in time reach you after the light waves emitted at that same instant, and so it looks^4 like the plane is at a different position than the sound is coming from. Since most of us rely mostly on sight, the sound is judged to be erroneous, but clearly we could just as well pick the sound position to be the baseline, which we do for instance if the plane is hidden by a cloud.

Also, in the spirit of your objection, you are almost completely wrong, in an exact technical way, when you say that

> the light rays that it hits at every point are always pointing back to the exact physical center of the sun

Because the sun is so close, it is in fact NOT a point, but it resolves to a disk, and since most of the disk is not on the one (infinitesimally thin) light ray that points back trough "the exact physical centre of the sun", most of the light does not point exactly there.

1: By which I mean a given instant in time, and due to how close the sun is and our reasonable velocity relativity of simultaneity is not important
2: Here "on the sky" means what position in an earth co-moving sky coordinate system
3: Again, I am talking about the motion of objects across the sky, in an earth co-moving sky coordinate system. The various and important ways that the example objects differ are neglected if they do not matter for the observed motion in the sky.
4: That is, you see optical waves with your eyes and infer from that a specific sky position different from the one reconstructed by your brain based on the sound waves detected by your ears.
Those companies could conceivably do a lot of things, but that's a lot different to having in-house CPU and GPU design teams already staffed and firing on all cylinders for years.

Not sure I get you re Apple being an opponent to Intel for "cheap" parts. It goes without saying that Apple would not sell their own stuff to anyone else. And for their own use, I'm sure the hardware would be very cheap to manufacture.
>They should admit that they produced shit and start talking to their customers and show that they care.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't almost every modern CPU vulnerable in some way with Spectre? If so isn't every modern CPU manufacturer "producing shit" in your eyes?
If you fear of credential usage, use 2FA on the accounts you use to log in on third party applications.

If asked for credentials, log in as requested, and after you clear security, 1: change the passwordws and 2: force log out other sessions.

I wouldn't mention anything about that accounts are used for logging in somewhere because that will flag you as someone weird/nonstandard and might lead you to some questioning. It they ask you stuff and you get nervous, you will be looked more. So, just do what you're asked and everything will be fine.

Doesn't change what I said though. Unless you expect Apple to take over the laptop market (if they didn't reach above 10% during the last pro-apple decade, they're not going to do so now especially given their current issues in the field), or start selling their custom chips to third parties (they've never ever done so, unless I'm mistaken) AND those chips taking over the market, they're not the threat Intel has to worry about.

Intel has to worry about Nvidia taking over the graphics and machine learning, AMD punching above its weight in workstation with EPYC and ThreadRipper, and ARM being cheap and good enough in all the low power fields and growing.

A middle of the line, ARM based performance oriented chip for laptop is no threat to i5/i7, except indeed the risk to lose their place in macs.
