I've been doing Stronglifts for a bit, fell off for a few months but got back on it regularly the past 6 months or so.

My biggest problem has always been my diet. I'm pretty used to eating whatever I want as I've always been tall and lean. At the moment I eat a lot of tacos, eggs and bacon, I also eat a spicy chicken deluxe from Chick-Fil-A for lunch every day I'm in the office. Probably not the best diet. I'm not opposed to eating healthier foods, but for the past couple weeks I've been doing time restricted eating to pretty decent effect. Basically the same thing as intermittent fasting, just not as much of a focus on the diet side of things.

All this to say, all the advice I've seen online about what diet are focusing on macros, which is great. What I really want though is specific meals that are easy to make in large quantities so I don't have to spend all my time cooking. Do you have any resources for that? I've come across some sites like https://www.eatthismuch.com/, but last I checked the recipes are kind of lacking. Any recommendations there?
(I'm a web developer, for context.)

At home, I have a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display, which sits directly in front of me. My 13" MacBook Pro is on the left. Email, tasks lists, Twitter, etc, will live on the laptop display while editors, terminals and browsers are on the main display.

At the office, I have a 27" Monoprice display (the equivalent of the Thunderbolt Display at 1/2 the cost) that sits directly in front of me, an Acer 23" display to the right, and my laptop sits to the left. Similar to home, email and Twitter are on the laptop, code/browsers/terminals are on the 27" display. Task lists are on the Acer, along with browser dev tools (because of the extra available space).
Also in hot weather. I don't store my phone in my car, but I've brought it into my car when my car is above 95F (say, when it's been parked and I get back to it) and had it shut down on me.

(I probably shouldn't have bought a black car - that doesn't help.)
Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic beaver, they made the amazing idea to change the GPU service to Xorg, and it makes every software much more compatible.
hmm, yes, this was always going to be a contentious point, and highly subjective. I think the main issue here is it was in a large part also a very human impact, which is much harder to measure. I think it was fair to say that our build system at the time was more rigid and testing fully both flows not within our grasp. I discussed this point about 'hope' with a colleague, I think I agree with his conclusion: "Google actually designs some of the chips it uses! And runs its own power stations - I think if anyone could legitimately say "Hope is not a Strategy" it might be them."
ACPI wasn't guaranteed to be supported back then, as it was a newish thing at the time this happened.
very cool! I built a small gsm/gps tracker for my motorcycle a few years ago. Its an interesting space.

Show HN: Open Avalanche Project – Using ML to Improve Avalanche Forecasting
Did you read the article I linked? It explains why they went with NaCL over ASM, and why, despite them having a WASM prototype for months now, it's not ready for production yet.

Basically: native threading. NaCL supports it, ASM and WASM don't (yet).
How come I can't say how many major expenditures I'm planning? I got to put 2 kids through college and buy a house.
There's a difference between what history textbooks/syllabuses teach, and the history that you learn from your parents, amar chitra kathas, films, and even your teachers. The whitewashing happens in the syllabus and textbooks, but fortunately, it's very difficult to whitewash the collective memory of a society that has been subject to a brutal rule and that has been transferring knowledge from generation to generation by word of mouth.

Also, it's pretty hard to hide the clearly visible signs of destruction of idols, temples, and other hindu architecture, so a society would need to suffer from an extreme case of cognitive dissonance to accept what's in our history texts as truth.

I'm sure other companies do this, but I'm way more familiar with Facebook's indiscretions. If they're made an example of what's going to be a standard, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens to other companies soon.
Why isn't this a thing already, just like hotels, pre-authorize a minimum table charge to a debit/credit card (ensure AVS and/or names matches - most CC processors fraud systems provide this info - so you have correct details to blacklist in the event of a chargeback) - infact actually the reservation provider should be handling and swallowing the chargeback risk - they have the aggregated data and taking a big fee for essentially a risk free SaaS.
Would be really nice if you could add funds & portfolios. Also how are you calculating growth rate? which funds?

Absolutely. Trigonometric functions are quite slow. Here’s an example on how to implement angles without trigonometric functions:
https://gist.github.com/Const-me/46f90ce7fc2bc65dc12a41442ed...

And for cases when you need to multiply angles by a scalar (e.g. to interpolate between two angles), quaternions is the way to go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternions_and_spatial_rotati...
Type-Safe Mypy Stub Generator for Protocol Buffers, in Go
Fairly certain that wasn't the case.

As far as I could tell, the only DLLs the binaries referenced were msvcrt.dll and standard windows DLLs (KERNEL32, USER32, etc).

The application was also plain C.

Even if missing compiler runtime libraries were the issue, I would have expected the program crash or fail with an error message.
I don't get most of the argument here, what are you trying to say?

Politicians are already incentivised to get their bribes indirectly, that's a natural consequence of doing something illegal while expecting to have your actions recorded. But beyond that I don't understand, are you saying that because the AI allows for such efficient oversight that politicians will be unable to hide large bribes and be forced to accept "insignificant bribes"? But even if the only effect is that corruption is much cheaper, what is the downside to that? At least more people can afford it then.

> it's really about protecting the people who are using what is essentially a Bayesian black box as an ethical proxy for their personal interest

How is fighting corruption best described by "personal interest"? The only way I can make sense of this is of you hold the belief that rule of law is not fundamental for a just society, and the circumvention of the law that corruption represents somehow makes societies more just.
Not only this. If the amount of people visiting zoos would go on a safari the environmental impact would probably be significant and might endanger the animals natural population.
> The university thought it was getting a donation, along with some vanity conditions, comparable to naming a building or a chair, which it could fudge while spending the money on whatever it wanted.

I think it's clear that the conditions were more than vanity, and were actually qualitative.
Then the employer doesn't compensate in this case.
> If they don't chase profits they'd get sued by shareholders or some activist investor will mount an attack. You can't leave money on the table, whether you're a man or a woman.

There is no objectively best profit maximizing strategy for a company to pursue. Courts give management wide latitude to exercise their own judgement about how to run a company. The only way that they will intervene on behalf of shareholders is when management can be proven to have acted in bad faith.

CEOs are chosen not because they are objectively the best at maximizing profits but because they have traits that investors believe make for a good CEO. If investors are choosing masculine CEOs it's not necessarily because masculine CEOs are better at producing profits, it's because investors perceive them as being better at producing profits.

Survival of the fittest doesn't mean that the optimal strategy always wins out. If you believe that then you would have to believe that every species of life is perfect.

Why does a retirement calculator need that functionality? Its for retirement savings, not savings in general.
what of the idea that zoos cause people to develop an actualy empathy with animals they would not normally otherwise find themselves aware of? A kid that sees a rhino at a young age has a chance of carring that empathy through their whole life.

I would be interested to know how would these autonomous cars/trucks behave on non-linear roads, with potholes, adverse conditions, etc

What kind of problem are these companies trying to address that hasn't been addressed yet?

Will these trucks be a replacement for trains? I can see the later ones being way more easy to automate (e.g. London Overground)

This is the excuse of the impeached Workers Party ex-government. With a touch of fascism - "the foreigners are the real danger!!!!!11111".

The other excuse was that "corruption is small compared to the GDP". (And what about the chilling effects?)
I found this hilarious -- hello, that's not even in the same ballpark??
> I can't imagine a rise in home servers to facilitate IoT as most customers will never have that level of interest in IoT products unless this is a type of product installed and maintained by a trained technician.

Why not? With the demise of Moore's law and the rise of zero-moving-part computers, as well as the existence of container technology, it will soon be possible to install a single compute node in a home and have it be dependably useful for over a decade. This node will be able to run all of the computing jobs necessary in a home, from the thermostat to the lighting to the TV to web browsing and games-playing (and even running web and email servers — or social networking services!). It would be easily serviced by a dedicated technician (as e.g. hot-water heaters and furnaces are today).

Not being forced to run cloud services saves device manufacturers money. Not requiring cloud services means that devices will continue to work usefully without Internet connexions. Not using cloud services means that user data is more private and secure.
The US already has one of the largest freight rail networks in the world (at the expense of having a totally shitty passenger rail network; although that's starting to change with Florida and California's efforts).

I wish more effort would be put into expanding freight even more so you could get the same speed and efficiency for shorter hauls, mail and package delivery. It seems like that would be way more worthwhile than automated trucks. It's substantially more trivial to automate freight trains as well. Passenger trains in Singapore, Malaysia and parts of London are already fully autonomous with no driver at all.
The page doesn't go into any detail, but it looks like this would require the air to come from a tank? Otherwise surely they would have mentioned it, not requiring on-board propellant is the feature of this thruster.
Last time I was in a zoo a noticable number of animals there were rescues from animal trafficking.

I guess this was they only place where anybody had any idea how to take care of them.

HA! This is my favorite interview question to ask candidates:

"What is your all time biggest screw up, and how did you come back from it" - I then tell them the story of me loosing several hundred thousand dollars and the funny things that happened around it to set the tone. If you have been in tech for any length of time you have one of these stories (if not a few). I have heard some great ones by simply asking and it gives great insight into a candidate (humor, stress response, the things you have seen).
I work out at a gym, and my workout takes about 1h15 to 1.5 hours, and then I have a shower and a commute. But if you have time to socialize during a workout, you either have a lot of free time or you're doing it all wrong.
iPhone from 6 and up are notoriously bad at cold weather. Previously people talked about reduced battery life in cold weather, but it was never really a big problem (I guess the batteries were thicker). But with the iphone it drops from 80% to 5% then dies in a matter of minutes. People I know have been talking about it and I dont go out on a cold day with the battery at less than 50%. Which was never the case before, even with iphone 5.

Edit: now we are talking temperatures below -10c
This may be obvious, but when it's cold out, it helps to keep the phone in a warm pocket close to the body (e.g. on the inside of your coat) rather than a bag or so. I've never had any issues with iPhones that way; using it for more than a short period of time when it's very cold is unpleasant anyway, so it never gets the chance to cool down too much. (I can confirm this works even at -40°, although you've got to be very careful with charging cables at that sort of temperature. Don't try to bend them, they'll snap.)
Arch Linux - it does so much just right. The package manager is delightful, just like the wiki. Installing it is straightforward, and you learn a lot about the process.

I should mention that it is not an 'install and be ready to work'-distro. You should install and configure everything yourself, and you do run into problems sometimes (for me, I couldn't get the wifi to work for a few days).

If you want an easy distro, I would recommend Linux Mint (or maybe Manjaro, which is based on Arch Linux, but I haven't tried it).
Ok, but that's a different issue and nobody is suggesting 1PB of data on a single node as a good idea. The comment was that "scale" is more than just a simple count of nodes. Even if you keep the data the same size, Scylla can handle it with much better performance which is a good enough reason for many to use it.

I don't think the US belongs next to Mexico on a chart titled Child Poverty. Considering the 3rd highest upvoted comment on this thread is describing how cryptocurrency is going to save the American middle class, I don't have much faith in audiences and I believe the onus is on the author to present the material properly.

Introducing `NPM ci` for faster, more reliable
Great interface, but I would find it more useful I could pick an estimate rate of return for my investments and choose the rate of inflation. It's also be useful for there to be a "max out 401k" button for how much I want to contribute.

The Channel Explosion: Off Screens and Out the Window
I'd love a service that gave me the right contact for the right problem in all the businesses possible. Finding the right person while googling seems like a matter of luck.
I have very mixed feelings on this one.

Personally, I value my privacy. I don't tend to use services like Facebook, mostly because I don't want to encourage that sort of perpetual surveillance or volunteer that much data about myself (or encourage my friends/family/colleagues to do so for me) to be used for purposes I don't fully understand.

On the other hand, apparently there are literally billions of people in the world who disagree with me. Most people I know demonstrably are willing to give up some privacy in return for the convenience that Facebook provides to them.

Requiring such a business to allow users more control over how data about them is being processed is one thing, and there are pros and cons that reasonable people can debate in that area. But I'm not sure the EU has any moral/ethical right to dictate that business models that have supported highly successful businesses with literally unprecedented levels of popular support should no longer be viable, and the conditions we're talking about here look awfully close to allowing that.
We might have different definitions of "well to do". I was thinking of households making over $500k per year.
You can put a bound on the number of actors under a given supervisor.

That being said the main reason an Erlang program will use an actor per request is not to prevent overload, it’s for fault tolerance; in your a -> b -> c -> d example a bug (e.g. uncaught exception) triggered by one request that happens in process c can cause all requests in flight to fail, while with a process per request there’s only one affected.

It does mean you may have thousands of actors rather than four or so, but that’s not a problem since Erlang is built and optimized for that kind of workload. On a platform where actors are OS threads, it may make sense to use a different approach.
The death of the internet cookie
Hopefully it specifies opt in instead of opt out. I can't tell you how many things I've forgotten to do while being conscientious because it was just so out of the way.
I've done the "confirm in e-mail" thing. I highly recommend it. I also brought in other folks on the request via email mentioning the name of the person and their request etc. Over communication is key, before you act. NEVER leave it up to just you even if it is typically a one man action

I'll never know what the full story was but the one time I had a request I wasn't comfortable with and communicated like crazy.... sales manager dude who was brought in with lots of fanfare moved on to other opportunities within two weeks.
I've been a UNIX user since 1984, I've been using Apple as my personal hardware since about '87

I jumped from Mac OS due to cost of Apple Hardware, last year. I can't justify spending $3K for hardware that if it weighed 1lb more costs $650.

I bought a Quad core i7 Gaming laptop, Dual SSD's, 1080p display, 32GB of memory for $800, yay Black Friday. My original plan was to make the machine into a hackintosh, but while waiting for the WiFi daughter board to arrive from China I decided to install Linux.

I tried a number of Linux variants. I ended up settling on Elementary because it was the only distribution that would consistently "wake up" from hibernation or sleep. Every other distro would cause the machine to hang after hibernation or sleep, I spent a lot of time trying to make other distributions work, but to no avail.

I did get the WiFi daughter board and installed it, but I never seem to get around to creating my hackintosh.

I'm completely happy with my Linux laptop. Elementary has a couple of quirks, but nothing that makes me want to switch. The online version of Microsoft office allows me to interact with Office documents, which was always the biggest stumbling block, at least for me when it comes to Linux.
GDPR Compliance for Mailing Lists and Newsletters
I haven't used pg_repack in production, but on my development box with PgSQL 10.x, if you end the process early, pg_repack will complain on the next run and ask you to clean up by dropping and re-adding the extension. Maybe this occurs in the wild if the cleanup code is not reached, for whatever reason.
Ask HN: Who is also studying Algorithms and Data structures?
I'm a Software Developer with around 5 years of experience. Because of my upcoming interviews with two of the big 4's, I started studying Algorithms & Data structures. To my amazement, I've begun to enjoy it. I used to think it was hard but I'm amazed at how much I love solving these things now & it has become a hobby. I wish I started way back. It has greatly influenced how I think about & write code at work & I can't wait to get back home to open up Leetcode. I even use my free time at work to work on exciting problems.

Right now, I'm looking for people who have similar interests so we can share ideas & learn from each other. If you are interested or know a group where I can find such people, please get in touch.

Lego reports first sales fall in 13 years, saying 'there is no quick fix'
Are you serious? You have to link me to a GitHub issue where they still don't clearly explain their license, and then if you read the comments you can see tons of other concerns that they never address. It is almost like they want to keep spying on you and exploiting.. hmm, strange. Weird that they have so many trade offs for privacy always. I see small two-person teams doing more work and good for software than mega-corporations like Microsoft.

If you lived in a cold temperature with an iPhone for long enough, you learn to keep it close to your body when wrapping up for the outdoors. Sure, you need to pull it out for some functions and that's awkward, but the gloves you are wearing get in the way of that too. These are general challenges of navigating the cold. I can see the irritation, but I'm in agreement with other Canadians here that this isn't really news :)
