I tried looking into ways to improve my problem-solving a few years ago. I think problem-solving changes depending on whether or not you know the end goal. Problem solving without knowing the end result seems to involve separating parts of the problem into systems, fitting said systems in your head space, mentally making them run, and then noticing new problems. There are bookshelves of books for what to do when you have a specific goal in mind. Mainly work backwards and remove obstacles. I figure most of the people on this site probably work between the two extremes, and do simulation/testing as well. Careful thinking seems to improve overall speed, but that's what i'm worst at.
Gaining weight is simple, it's the other way around. You need to eat more calories than you burn. So just like with losing weight, track everything with a scale and a food log (like myfitnesspal). See how many calories you need to start gaining weight and start tracking. Maybe you'll notice you're not eating at a surplus at your age, activity level, etc. And just like losing weight, it will take a while, depending on how much your surplus is. You might gain 1-2 lbs a week.
> - This guy was eating at a very unhealthy calorie deficit (1000). You should never go over 500 kcal deficit if you don't want to lose loads of muscle in the process. A calorie deficit as high as his is comparable to a crash diet, and is prone to result in a quick upswing in weight once the diet ends, as you will have been starving yourself.

Funnily enough, that is not true. A meta-analysis of 29 studies on the topic [1] has shown that:

"Successful very-low-energy diets (VLEDs) were associated with significantly greater weight-loss maintenance than were successful hypoenergetic balanced diets (HBDs) at all years of follow-up. The percentage of individuals at 4 or 5 y of follow-up for VLEDs and HBDs were 55.4% and 79.7%, respectively. The results for VLEDs and HBDs, respectively, were as follows: weight-loss maintenance, 7.1 kg (95% CI: 6.1, 8.1 kg) and 2.0 (1.5, 2.5) kg; percentage weight-loss maintenance, 29% (25%, 33%) and 17% (13%, 22%); and reduced weight, 6.6% (5.7%, 7.5%) and 2.1% (1.6%, 2.7%)."

Having a plan of what do do/how to eat post-diet (and avoiding binging back to your original weight) is more important than the way you lost your weight. The muscle mass loss is also not as dramatic as people might think, since less time spent in caloric deficit (because of the aggressive dieting) means that more time can then be spent in an anabolic state, and the muscle lost during the dieting phase can be regained very fast. Bearded wonder, powerlifter and now science-person Greg Nuckols had a small blog post on the topic five years ago: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/a-bit-of-everything/

These leading e-sport companies are all American, in contrast to Nintendo which has to work overseas to support smash competitively (the Japanese competitive smash community is tiny compared to the U.S., in part due to culture).

How successful any multiplayer game will be is a thorny question, so I think you are more likely to end up right than the gp. Established properties can suddenly go bust. Fast followers on hot trends can reap all the rewards. Multiplayer brawlers are essentially a one-series phenomenon (SSB) that has had spotty popularity. If I had to guess, I would bet that SSBU will be about as popular as Splatoon 2.

The problem with your logic is that Tekken, Street Fighter and now Dragonball Fighter Z, all made by Japanese developers, are the top fighting games on Twitch. Their popularity is much lower than PUBG/LOL/Fortnite/etc but I would submit that fighting games are simply punishing to get into - it's very difficult for a newbie to find a niche as a support character as is possible in many team games, for example. Furthermore, character balance/competitiveness issues are magnified by the 1 v 1 focus.

Indeed this feels like the most satisfactory explanation for the Fermi paradox. I’m just starting on the third book, and am starting to think the eye-popping $1 billion that Amazon is rumored to be paying / have paid to allow them to make this into a TV series might not be entirely insane.
Yes indeed, I meant PROGRESS 4GL, which was sort of around before all the "RDBMS" hoopla congealed all this wonderful info into a single art. Its just that your last paragraph really sounded like a quote, near-verbatim, from the very guides published by PROGRESS just for the purposes of educating people on how to make their data relatable .. but of course that is because these are natural laws for databases.

"Stocks have been in a sideways struggle since the Standard & Poor’s 500 last peaked on Jan. 26."

>Any civilizations that minimizes would be destroyed by any civ that maximizes

Unless we're talking about hive-minds I don't think this premise holds at all.

Civilizations that culturally value domination and expansion can dominate within their own civilization much more easily than casting out into space to find alien ones. They're more likely to destroy themselves than others.

This doesn't seem to be about instruction sets so much as it's about the boot process; in particular, the first stage boot loader.

Quote from linked email: "A high-level list of tasks that FSBL performs is in the manual[1]:

• Switch core frequency to 1 GHz (or 500 MHz if TLCLKSEL =1) by
configuring and running off the on-chip PLL
• Configure DDR PLL, PHY, and controller
• Set GEM GXL TX PLL to 125 MHz and reset it
• If there is an external PHY, reset it
• Download BBL from a partition with GUID type
2E54B353-1271-4842-806F-E436D6AF69851
• Scan the OTP for the chip serial number
• Copy the embedded DTB to DDR, filling in FSBL version, memory
size, and MAC address
• Enable 15 of the 16 L2 ways (this removes almost all of the L2
LIM memory)
• Jump to DDR memory (0x8000_0000)

The manual can be found by googling for that GUID. https://static.dev.sifive.com/FU540-C000-v1.0.pdf

I think the demand for "open source" hardware needs to accept that, because there are fundamental physical limitations on software freedoms 2 and 3 (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html), the market for open hardware is going to behave differently. We can certainly keep asking for more openness, but perfect openness will probably not be acheivable.
> The so-called yield curve is perilously close to predicting a recession — something it has done before with surprising accuracy — and it’s become a big topic on Wall Street.

> The yield curve is basically the difference between interest rates on short-term United States government bonds, say, two-year Treasury notes, and long-term government bonds, like 10-year Treasury notes.

> Typically, when an economy seems in good health, the rate on the longer-term bonds will be higher than short-term ones. The extra interest is to compensate, in part, for the risk that strong economic growth could set off a broad rise in prices, known as inflation. Lately, though, long-term bond yields have been stubbornly slow to rise — which suggests traders are concerned about long-term growth — even as the economy shows plenty of vitality.
If these (or other similar) experiments would show viability of this network architecture, the cost could be decreased a lot with development of even more specialized hardware.

Also one could look at the cost of the custom development of bots and AIs using other more specialized techniques: sure, it might require more processing power to train this network, but it will not require as much specialized human interaction to adapt this network to a different task. In which case, the human labor cost is decreased significantly, even if initial processing costs are higher. So in a way you guys do actually optimize cost efficiency.
> In my opinion the super hype over Javascript is because of it's simplicity(compared to GO for example).

Go imho is a lot simpler than Javascript. Not necessarily as a language (although Go is pretty simple, and JS has some very ugly pitfalls). Thing is, getting into the JS ecosystem is an absolute mess. With Go, I felt comfortable with it within a few days. Recently, wanting to create some sort of frontend for a REST API I'm making - I tried getting into "modern" frontend JS, having dabbled in HTML, JS and CSS a decade ago, having created a small internal bootstrap-based app targeted at mobile devices - so I understand the basics

However, the current JS ecosystem? I have no idea where to even start, I haven't even gotten to the point where I would actually have some hacky code that would at least give me an idea how to move forward...
That may be true in general but if I were to receive a broken item and it was listed as working but no returns, I'd file a claim anyway. Sometimes I do pass these up too if the item is available from another seller.

> One fake account winning an auction I was selling then failing to pay

I feel like auctions should be auto-pay. Or, at least have an option to list them that way. This reminds me of the time I was selling football tickets and someone did this. I had to scramble to sell these things after the person bid and never paid.

Tickets are obviously worth nothing after the event. It was a major headache, and I almost didn't sell them at all.
I would disagree on that. Quitting smoking is a fairly simple thing, but it can also be a very hard thing to do. Such is the nature of addiction. So as such I find it very honest to say it is simple but hard, and focus on what makes it hard.

Somebodies reaction to a hard thing may be complex, but that is more about them than the thing. Although as you note, there is a risk of oversimplifying (e.g. your example of possible implications of gut biome, but that doesn't really shift the fundamentals).

The reason I think this distinction is a good one to make is the problem with the converse. If something being hard implies it is complex, it will lead often to people generating extraneous complexity around it which makes it actually more difficult for the people involved, and can lead to very convoluted thinking and errors in that thinking. You need only look at the massive industries built around things like weight loss and quitting smoking to see examples of this (not that everything in those industries is nonsense, but they do contain a lot of profitable nonsense).

This had nothing to do with bubbles. The risk is that instead of supporting people in doing a hard thing, we raise false hope of making it easy.

But checking CAA with DNSSEC is mandatory (this caused much feather spitting)

So if you have DNSSEC you can deny all the CAs you don't trust. If a bad guy leaves the CAA record alone they can't get a cert. If they try to replace the CAA record or deny it exists they fail DNSSEC checks.

If your chosen CA agrees to only use a method that's actually secured you get an actual bona fide panacea, for the very affordable price of deploying DNSSEC and CAA, automating cert issuance and getting your DNS config right.

A ps4 you can't play on the coach while your family is watching TV and get up and lay down in bed playing the same game and same system. The switch is by Far the best mobile game system ever built. Sure it doesn't compete with the ps4's graphics but my PC is way better at high end graphics and I rarely play that anymore. I'm at a desk all day long, I want a game system that goes with me to where I want to play. The switch is head and shoulders above all the other systems for that.
Fortunately the ITER project does wast amount of R&D and basic engineering that solves problems common to both design. If the problems in stellators are solved and it proves to be superior to tokamak in practice there is no need to start from scratch.
Mostly agreed, but: "If you want clean power in your lifetime, support fission plants."

Not anti nuclear or anything, but you really want a large share of wind+solar. Less hard to handle waste and cheaper. Once we are approaching 80% wind+solar we can discuss how to best deal with the difficult remaining 20% (load shifting, expanded transmission grids, storage, CCX and Carbon2Gas gas plants and nuclear are all options that are possibly going to play a role).

From that article:

> Many drivers know about the federal tax credit for EV owners, but there are a myriad of State programs and incentives available as well as local programs provided by utilities and cities that are less widely known ... [truncated] ... In select cities, this pilot provides direct monetary incentives for driving EVs on our network.

My read of it is that they're not actually providing much in direct incentives. Instead this is meant to educate their drivers and navigate them towards existing incentive programs at the local, State, or Federal level.
Plenty of that happened in US backed, and funded, regimes in Central and South America.

This seems great, but I think until 4.2 they don't plan to have global point-in-time consistency - just per replica set. I wonder how this affects ACID semantics?

Not every recruiter finds you via LinkedIn. Sometimes they call someone else, ask them if they know anyone who might be interested, and that person gives them your name. Maybe they say something like "I don't know if aoent4ntor0 is looking right now, but you might give them a try." So of course the recruiter gives you a try. They're not going to track down your LinkedIn profile to see if it says not to call you...

Does your company leadership keep its employees up to date on the financial health of the company?

If not, that’s a red flag IMO. Small startups have no excuse not to keep their employees informed on this topic. If the company is in dire straits, employees deserve to know. Similarly if the company is doing well, employees deserve to know.

Of course executives will balance that obligation with the need to keep morale. If the company is in trouble, but it’s not catastrophic yet, I could see why they might choose to keep that information from employees. The last thing they want at a critical make-or-break juncture like that is a stampede out the door or a bunch of engineers interviewing for new jobs.

If you have a good relationship with your manager (or the CEO in the case of a small startup), I would recommend discussing your concerns with him/her. If you do not have such a relationship, well... that’s a red flag.

Be specific. As it stands, your comment says basically nothing. Think about it from the perspective of a random reader who comes across your comment. How on earth will they know what you're talking about?
Not an expert by any means but I think the benefits of fusion power lie in the future: Namely as a power plant for interstellar exploration. The energy received by the sun might be enough to power infrastructure on earth but planets and space ships further away might need their own power source.
MongoDB represents to me a very good way to build a product. There has always been so much derisive criticism about MongoDB opting to prioritize convenience of customer workflows above all else, and to go back and add best practices, basic data safety, etc., on a piecemeal basis after the fact. Customers are surprisingly willing to put up with problems as long as usability and user experience is high, and they will wait for other features. Meanwhile, plenty of other database projects may start out with a more deliberate focus on classical database safety and guarantees, yet hardly build any customer base.

Even though I may like e.g. Postgres features more, there is still something to be respected about how MongoDB has operated, and the constant vitriol about their chosen priorities has always sounded hollow to me, even accounting for stories about data loss, etc.

Incidentally, I once had the chance to tour the MongoDB office near Times Square, and boy, I can tell you it is not an office environment for me. Extremely loud, and they even have things like scooter parking slots and signs for “scooter etiquette” for rolling around the office on a scooter.

I’m not sure how they are able to focus on any engineering work, but kudos to them for finding a way.
