Coffee and tea are allowed during the fast. I've been drinking a lot more tea recently (I'm not a huge coffee drinker). There's a certain threshold where your body kicks into "metabolic" mode. The exact figure varies, but I think you want to avoid eating > ~50 calories[1] or your digestion kicks in and your fast is ruined. A cup of tea or coffee, for example, is around 3 calories. Even milk, in small quantities, is probably fine. It goes without saying that sugar is not allowed.

[1] My figures are probably wrong. Someone feel free to correct me.
Yes, it's often a simple task and sed is sufficient to accomplish it. The sed script I used to generate the indexes for my recent books has four expressions in total, and I do not have to care about all the I/O stuff, so it is probably the easiest solution.
Agree. The simple machine analogy got really irritating, when became repetitive. Also had to skip through that boring squirrel moon example - indulgent by their own admission.

The newly wed lady, just wrote a few paragraphs about her. And Polly went on a long rambling trip making lot of assumptions (e.g. her over-achieving family). Psychiatrists need to ask more next level questions. Here looks like she just wanted to write a long one, perhaps coinciding with her long walk on a treadmill.

To be truthful, I did enjoy some pieces, specifically the 'igniting the dynamite' part as she ends her piece.

But If I were the 'sloth', I would be super confused now. Oh My God. I thought I was just lazy and procrastinating type, didn't know I was messed up this bad.

Reading this made me realize the futility of asking for advise from strangers, who would end up stereotyping you, into their known contexts. Better to improve life by reading suitable books. Or if need advise may be ask trusted friends - who don't assume context as they know you. Or psychiatry sessions may be better.
The scientist stated this fact:

> Magnetite crystals from Mars might more persuasively indicate life if they're found in string-of-pearl formations, as they are when created by bacteria on Earth, Chris McKay said. "If we find these chains on Mars, it would be compelling evidence of past magnetotatic bacteria," he said. However, so far researchers have not detected such strings, he added.

And later in the article it goes on to say:

> "The Mars Exploration Rovers, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Phoenix lander, Curiosity rover, Mars Express mission with its Beagle 2 Mars lander — all can be traced to the ALH 84001 research.

So they have not been able to find any other examples of magnetite? I'm curious why not? Is it something that will be rare if it does exist? Or given that the original sample was billions of years old that any surface level digging by a rover would likely have eroded it away?

It's 8 hours, so I have plenty of time to eat two, three, or even sometimes four times. What IF cuts out is the late-night snacks that I think are most detrimental.

This looks like a nice variety of challenges! I've always found constructing ROP chains extremely satisfying, even more than regular exploit development.

As a plug, I wrote a blog post solving a similar exercise using a ROP chain: http://www.kvakil.me/posts/ropchain/ . It looks pretty similar to the pivot challenge here.
So anybody that regularly skips breakfast now adheres to an IF diet? It cannot possibly be that important if the only difference between your eating schedule and the norm is that you omit breakfast and midnight snacks.
I tried out few popular queries where it's hard to find great content which is not extensively SEOed and this is working great! Sure, results are bit sparse but this is great tool to find good content that would be otherwise buried beyond 10 pages. Now I think about it, there are lot of URLs that is sourced by reputable authors on twitter, hn, Reddit etc - many of which would be example of "dark content" - i.e. Not easily found unless right keywords are entered. For example, search for neural network from scratch and you are unlikely to find great quality implementation like Layered [1] in any of the search engines. Instead you will only find what was extensively linked by others.

Although, I agree with you in principle. In reality it is a little different. Just because you don't take your phone out doesn't mean other people aren't. Its the same principle as Facebook being able to figure out who your relatives are even though you may not be on Facebook. Its all about data points. With enough data points, it doesn't matter whether you bring out a phone or not.

My reading summary for 2017 (with recommendations)
You can easily buy other varieties in Latin America in grocery stores in the country side but they do not travel well and so that is where they remain.
The U.S. spends far more, but the U.S. has far greater commitments.

Russia and China are "regional powers"; their goal is to dominate the areas in their geographic proximity. The U.S. has to dominate China in its region, Russia in its region, as well as the Middle East, the Americas, and everywhere else.

The U.S. has fought wars in Central Asia and in the Arabian Peninsula recently, as well as standing down an enemy in NE Asia (North Korea) and in Europe (Russia), facing a competitor in the western Pacific (China), and the Persian Gulf (Iran). There are deployments in over 100 nations, IIRC, and ongoing military operations all over, from the Philippines to Chad to Yemen to Somalia to many more. The U.S. Navy secures trade worldwide. And at the same time, the U.S. military must train and prepare for every contingency, from a Chinese invasion of Taiwan to revolution in Pakistan (endangering the nuclear weapons there) to a Russian invasion of the Baltics to a breakdown in order in Lebanon or Venezuala, to Iran restarting its nuclear weapons program ... China and Russia don't have those problems.

Here's an off-the-cuff summary of why: Since WWII, the U.S. has been the muscle behind the rules-based international order. Even domestically, under the rule of law, government needs force occasionally (e.g,, police) to maintain order and enforce laws. Internationally, there is no government; it's fundamentally anarchy. History has shown that the anarchy is very difficult to control and easily explodes into wars that destroy humans, cities, and set back civilization, and that's especially true in the nuclear age. Nothing is worse for humanity than war; WWI and WWII were major examples of that.

Post-WWII, the winning nations sought to prevent or minimize further wars by establishing a rules-based (i.e., legal) international order, centered around the United Nations and other institutions. The rules mean nothing unless someone can back it up, and post-WWII and even now, the U.S. is the only candidate with enough power to do so, military, cultural, and economic. The cost of the U.S. military is considered far less than the cost of anarchy, and in fact the U.S.'s preeminent position means that America has far greater say in international issues than any other nation.

The Trump administration is retreating from that responsibility, to a degree; we'll see how far they go and what the next administration does.

> The military has an efficiency problem, not a funding problem.

That idea has been around forever. Either it's not true, or it's intractable to a degree. Every large institution is wasteful, from Fortune 500 companies to large universities to the U.S. military. Unless you have a viable plan for reducing that waste, and can say what the savings will be, it seems wishful to say 'we'll just cut waste'.
I think the point is that even though it's smaller and less obvious that the other objects, it's still sufficient to "hijack" the recognition for the whole image. If they had a little sticker with a normal picture of a toaster on it it's unlikely that it would've prevented the banana from being recognised, and the image only looks a bit like a toaster, whereas the banana is unambiguously recognisable.

Maven/Gradle don't allow un-namespaced packages; nobody knows for sure how deep up their arse npm's designers have had their ass when they made non-namespaced packages possible (even the only way in the beginning; I don't know if it's still the default).

Additionally, there's the problem of npm's fine-grained dependencies (that have become a laughing stock in itself), in my Java large projects, while I don't know every single dependency, I know all the "vendors", i.e. trusted upstream namespaces I use, and their transitive dependencies. There's the occasional non-Eclipse, non-Google, non-Apache dependency (say, XStream), but I am aware of it and fix it to a specific version. npm with its thousands of dependencies by hundreds of pseudonymous developers for simple projects is an abomination.
In a pre-literate society these kinds of works (including much of Shakespeare) would've been composed in verse form to aid with memorization. So if you intend to recite from memory for six hours straight, like in the article, you probably want that rather than Britannica or the phone book.

I do find it plausible that certain (combinations of) language and verse metre might have mantra-like qualities, conducive to achieving trance states that could affect the brain. India has been on the case for a looong time, so it wouldn't surprise if Sanskrit + Vedic poetry present a particularly sophisticated example.
Not to be nit-picky, but the 'means' to provide the result are in the core-business of the enterprise inseparable from 'the business'. Being in the 'conceptual' banking business without the means to do banking isn't going to fly. Same as casting a farm as a 'food produce provider' and telling them that farming is not what their core business is about. Semantically correct, but not useful for most purposes.

Thanks for that, actually! You're the first to comment on the aesthetics rather than the "incorrect" usage. My thinking is that the dashes are part of the pragmatics of the primary, wrapping phrase, and don't actually interact with the inner one—they are therefore bound to the first and separate from the second. Whether or not it's a good look, the fact that doing so much better signposts the parenthetical makes it worth it, right? And that spacing rule is actually almost the same as with ellipses, though I'm definitely with you on that taking a while to look good to me as well.

Do you think it's just being unused to that layout, or is there some deeper issue to how it looks?

Quite apart from the generally pseudo-scientific content, there is a big part of missing context in this: the author's background. Johann Hari was first found to have plagiarised large amounts of his published work over many years, and then to have used sockpuppet accounts to make negative (and libellous) edits to the Wikipedia pages of his critics. This is his first major publication since his disgrace. Is it really that surprising that somebody whose career was left in ruins is likely to identify hating ones job as a cause of depression?

Scandal: Apple study caught plagiarizing tobacco study
Perhaps. But the most interesting aspect of this is that I never feel hungry, ever. I eat as many bananas and apples as I can stuff my face with, and keep losing weight.

Best diet ever. Luckily I don't need much variety. I throw in some hotdogs (Nathan's brand, no added sugar/corn starch/dextrose) when I want some variety. Also you can put coconut milk in chicken with garlic and spices and it's the best thing.
Surely it's one of the most popular errors too.

I've always thought something like a traceroute that shows the blockage (like how CloudFront does when an origin server goes down).
Note that plantains are distinct from bananas; plantains are more like a vegetable that have to be cooked before consumption
A difference is if one eats an apple or banana, one gets some fiber and substance to food that probably satiates appetite more than straight sugar does. Most of the calories in peanut butter come from fat - this probably satiates hunger more than eating the equivalent amount of sugar as well.
Many kids act very badly when allowed unlimited play. Aggressive, acts very annoying whenever does not have tablet, refuses to put it down even for homework or any kind of familly activity.

Putting predictable enforced limits goes long way to stop that. It just works and still allows them game time. People tend to relax those rules as kids grow and problems disappear.

The NCSA httpd CGI examples, also from around 1994, included a program to order from a local sub shop. It was a demo of how to use forms. It collected the information then sent an email to the university's email-to-fax gateway, which sent a fax to Jimmie John's.

Source at https://www.slac.stanford.edu/grp/md/cgi-src/jj.c .

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2ik7gl/this_ma... further adds that the 'demo' "actually did send a fax through the UIUC email to fax gateway. The local Jimmy Johns had to go through the police to find out who was sending these bogus orders, which reached the university and we took it down."

Don Hopkins, in the same Reddit thread, describes PizzaTool, a PostScript program "for NeWS on OpenWindows at Sun, which shipped with Solaris in 1992. ...

This is what many folk in Universities want us to believe, but having seen day-to-day language used and taught, I don't think it is, or was ever true. Apparently even the devadasis knew it extremely well back in the day, much as did people from many other 'backward' 'castes'.
