This looks really neat. A fresh codebase creates the opportunity for some new things that would otherwise be breaking or hard to implement, as the author seems to have done.
I used the Samsung Health fitness app, you can use it without an account I think. Seems to offer pretty much the same functionality (definitely does the calorie counting and targetting).
Yep. He even mentions fasting: "Somewhere along the journey I picked up intermittent fasting. I like it but it’s also not necessary. I found that it helped reduce my appetite which means I can eat fewer calories."

I tried that too. Lost 7lbs in 7 days and then a few more. I regularly skip breakfast, but to really make it work skipping lunch and keeping eating to a 4-hour window was really effective. I need to do some more of that. And it does reduce your appetite after a few days.
Wouldn't it be simpler to do a C-to-Rust translator that produces Rust code that does not actually have to compile?

Basically one-to-one but with errors in Rust because it's unsafe, and then let the programmers deal with the error codes. That still sounds like a valuable tool since it would take some parts of the boilerplate out of the equation.
And yet 100,000 years back where were we? Intersecting timescales is all.
I specifically left out the seat bit because I've heard and experienced that one regularly.

Why is that low? One mile is very little. But running at least 3-4 miles it is about 500kcal for that person. Is that little? Even 150-200kcal daily will make big difference in a year. And that is not even accounting for health benefits beside weight.
Simple, if you gain 12 pounds in a year you're burning 100 calories less than you need to.

> The "Fermi paradox" isn't meant to be an actual paradox in formal terms.

I think this is a misunderstanding of the use of the word "paradox". Informally, people use "paradox" like it means "contradiction" when in actuality it means "APPARENT contradiction". See, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox

> A paradox is a statement that, despite apparently sound reasoning from true premises, leads to an apparently self-contradictory or logically unacceptable conclusion.

The Fermi paradox is indeed an apparent contradiction, whether or not it is an actual contradiction.

The same holds for many, if not almost all uses of the word "paradox" in standard literature. For example, Zeno's Paradox is not a contradiction, we've resolved it (an infinite sum of decreasing values can add up to a finite number), and yet it is still a paradox.

(For a more precise classification, see e.g. Quine's classification of Paradoxes)

How to Use Log4j and MDC in Java Spring Boot Application?
Hi, Nick here.

That's really interesting. I have another 2000-ish word length part two* I'm hoping to put out around the end of the week with some ideas for others things to try. Most of my ideas for next steps revolved around tweaking the data loader to output composite images, or tweaking the loss the function to be more forgiving of false negatives. This is an alternative I hadn't considered.

You would still need 34+ layers of ResNet to detect the features, I think, but perhaps the fully connected classification layers could be replaced with an RNN. You would probably ignore all of the outputs aside from the last one, so that part of the ordering wouldn't matter. Input ordering might have an effect, though.

Assuming you don't object, I'm going to add this to the "extension ideas" at the end of my part 2 (with a hat tip, of course).

Of course the next problem would be figuring out how to actually accomplish this with the fast.ai library...

* I was originally on the fence about just publishing the entire 5000-ish words as a single post, but Ulysses actually started to have trouble with it and that pushed me over the edge.
I don't know that you read the definition you just quoted as carefully as you think you did.
After all that you typed out it still doesn't matter, the only way to loose weight is to consume less calories than you "burn". Everything else you talk about is either different ways to accomplish this or excuses. There is no beating conservation of energy.

Thanks for your reply. SV attracts me in terms of growth and the chaos, and the ability to learn. I eventually would like to build my own startup. Having spent almost a decade in the consulting industry I feel there is confinement in what I am able to be involved with.

Quite frankly as I stated, it is not at all about the pay/living costs, rather the congregation and assimilation of talented , out of the box, progressive mindsets and charismatic individuals it has produced that inspires me to the valley.
Can you live a life on a consistent 500 kcal diet? I was saying that with age (and with gender) it is much more difficult to maintain weight with just lowering down the calorie intake.
If I had to bet on the right answer it would be this. The time scales of the universe are mind-fucking and we are just naive if we think we can maneuver around them.
Pretty sure that would be bordering on anorexia.
I've found that intermittent fasting was easies to implement in 12, 14, 16 hour increments. I do "cheat" just a bit with a coffee in the morning, and 14 hour cheat days on the weekends. Intermittent fasting, allegedly, has numerous benefits. Stem cell regeneration of damaged, old immune system. Improved dopamine levels in the brain. Increased growth hormone production.

I personally have found that I do feel "run down" which turned out to be lower blood pressure. I attributed this to low sodium intake. So, I drink two very low sugar (6g) recovery drinks for my first caloric intake around noon.

One thing that wasn't covered, and likely isn't in many of these weight loss recaps, is not just caloric deficit; but also food content. Sugar's (and carbs) relationship to fat and our bodies cannot be understated. There's plenty of reading on how high sugar diets are detrimental. Here's an interesting listen: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/refined-sugar

This image alone scares the snot out of me: http://reachingutopia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/sugar-i...

I think most people are aware of this in principle, but don't often associate normal foods as being high in sugar. Orange juice is probably the worst offender. All the sugar, none of the fiber.
I imagine the reason you're being downvoted is because you've posted this link multiple times without explaining your connection (if any) with this company. At the moment you look like a spammer.
I think from the surrounding stories we can see that this is in fact normal life and that he does not specifically need to get help for this. If it's not normal that people come by unannounced, then you do not need to learn to deal with that.

Of course, whether or not that is a healthy skill to have is a separate problem (I think it is). In this case your response is too extreme though.
Exactly. And the coming of humans as a dominant specie on Earth is pretty much coincidental (humans faced extinction several times, that we know) so there is absolutely no "fate" that leads to human-like intelligence.

Exercise doesn't burn a lot of calories, but it changes the way your body processes calories (or spends them vs stores them).
People often promote energy restriction without mentioning the key fact - you will be hungry.

The human body has an amazing set of machinery that's dedicated to making you eat when your metabolism needs certain kinds of materials and would rather not break down tissue to get them.
The thing is, though, that tying design and manufacturing together has been really good for Intel. Historically Intel's performance in terms of driver current and so forth at a given process node has been better than its competitors and it has reached those nodes more quickly. Intel manufacturing paid for that lead partially by accepting more restrictive design rules for transistor layout than a merchant silicon shop could ever get away with because they knew they only had one customer and one design they had to make work. With Intel's numerous missteps at 10nm that lead is over and the manufacturing debacle is taking down the design too but there's no reason to think Intel would be starting from such a dominant place if they had split up. If I were to go back to 2013 I'd tell them "10 nm is too early for cobalt interconnets!" rather than "Split up your design and manufacturing".

And really you could also look at the problem as the design team being too wedded to x86 and unwilling to consider other ISAs just as much as the manufacturing problem. Intel could have done an ARM processor for the iPhone but they wanted to make a go at an x86 mobile chip instead. And while the x86 tax is small potatoes when you're paying for a deep OoO pipeline it's pretty noticeable in the world of in order processors or graphics processing units.
It's a disturbing trend but I see some dim hope. Everywhere across the world the importance of programming education is recognized. The BBC:micro is probably the epitome of this, with the the aim of the entire population knowing how to program a device at some point in a future.

The people who learned to program in this way will appreciate the ability to control a device in this way and will naturally steer towards platform allowing them to do so.

Moreover, even Apple is changing these days. Making Swift available is a step towards more ubiquitous app development. And with Swift Playgrounds you can learn to actually program on your device, even though it's not the same as controlling it the way we're used to. It's not unthinkable they make further concessions and at some point iOS devices could be programmable to a certain extent.
You don't need extreme precision with counting calories. 500-1000 calories is a lot of food each day as long as your rounding up you can get good enough.

The trick IMO is to simply eat the same thing every day. That way you can remove things as needed to maintain weight loss. But, also adjust based on what you actually eat not just your goals.
It's a difficult generalization. Showing confidence might equate to arrogance in some cultures where confidence is acceptable only after showing results.
I wish - then it would be enough to be in the sun.
You're right. This is definitely low. I currently live in Pittsburgh. We hire our junior devs at about $65k starting with pretty good benefits. I threw Grand Rapids in a cost of living calculator and it had that salary at about $61k in Grand Rapids (5% cheaper). I'm pretty sure you could get entry level jobs in places like Cleveland and Rochester for similar costs. I haven't looked, but I'd be willing to bet you could get a similar starting salary in North Carolina or Virginia. Everyone is different and I don't want to knock anyone for being happy, but I personally would look to one of the other cheap COL areas if I was starting my career.
Becuase it gives their competitiors a pretty substantial leg up.
I've not been impressed by docker outside of the local development experience (primarily, creating sandboxes and avoiding installing stuff on the main OS, and not having the latency of starting up a VM).

This discussion is about Kubernetes though. Docker is mostly only incidental to Kubernetes. It's a much better thought through system than anything I've seen come out of the Docker world. Docker images are adequate; Dockerfile as a build mechanism for images is deeply flawed, requiring so many kludges and duct tape to accommodate shared dependencies, rebuild on upstream change, shrinking after building, etc.

Hopefully a better system for building images to run on Kubernetes will crop up.
Will definitely keep trying. Just knackered that I dont have anyone that I could reach out to for proper feedback why I am not getting any responses.

PM "generalists" team matching stage was not done, would have been done at a later stage - after the onsite.
It’s not all about the immediate caloric burn though - that run will boost your metabolism for the next several hours and will cause you to continue to burn calories at an elevated rate.
Zero-Knowledge taxation on Ethereum
The key difference is that NoSQL was being developed and used to solve specific issues with using traditional databases. They were implementations of solutions to problems. Blockchain is a solution in search of problems.

By all means I support the research and development of blockchain technologies, but most applications are impractical thus far. The backlash against blockchain is a natural levelling mechanism combating the hyping and over-application of as yet inappropriate tech. As those in the know we should aim for the correct balance rather than blindly support it in hopes of future possible benefits. But as always, be informed and follow what you believe.
It's true, there were a lot of 60-90 min sessions sitting on an exercise bike. High intensity can work for lots of people, but depends quite heavily on your weight / health condition. There's also a heightened risk of illness and injury if you're combining lots of high intensity training with a significant caloric deficit.

I'd suggest talking to a PT and /or your doctor before jumping into doing high-intensity work if you haven't before.

I see notes like these every once in a while and I always wonder, if the material is the same, how come there isn't a unified source for all of it? Why is there a need for every professor to create their own notes that cover the same things? For example, probability theory is still the same after all these years why can't we create a one true reference for people learning it.
It's really not that complicated. If after some amount of time you're not losing/gaining what you expect per your numbers you tweak said numbers a bit. That's all. You don't need to be accurate to the calorie, or even to ~100. If you're on a deficit most days you will absolutely lose weight.

Calorie counting works and eating fewer calories than you burn is the only way to lose weight. Far too many people start exercising a bit, continue to eat in the manner they've become accustomed to, and wonder why they don't lose weight. It's not rocket science; you just need to eat less and (probably) eat better.

None of these things is likely to actually be the end of life altogether, just life as it's known at the time. More asteroids won't make the Earth completely uninhabitable (just as it didn't the first time); nor will climate change (just as it hasn't before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxygenation_Event). They'll simply be the end of our current human civilization, along with plenty of other current species. Other forms of life may benefit tremendously; things will evolve to take advantage of the new circumstances.
I'm just wondering, how do you spend this time you saved by using this terribly sounding device?
All my previous attempts at weight loss had been exercise based, but to be honest I was too damn lazy to stick at it. Eating less on the other hand is actually less effort (only being slightly facetious). But seriously - if you bring in your own lunch to work, you are totally in control of the calories you will eat that day (assuming you leave your wallet behind! Work vending machines are your pernicious enemy.)

Willpower is of course the problem for all strategies, and breaking habits. If you get used to your chocolate bar at 3pm every day, it is hard to suddenly forgo it.
Ive been hearing more and more about IF. Curious how you manage it - for lets say 16 hours? Do you have a "dinner cutoff time" that works well? Does it mean you're skipping breakfast?

I never believed that breakfast was "the most important meal of the day". IF success sort of supports this & the fact that it was mostly marketing.
Unrelated to GP, or to the company that makes those machines. But I do have one and it's pretty decent (but also loud on high speed settings). Saves us a bit of trouble here at home by automating some common things in cooking. Most of the time we use it for soups and batters.
Your hormone levels and how your body responds to different types of calories can be changed by changing your diet.

There's also the fact that muscles burn fat whereas fat begets fat storage.

I believe metabolism does slow year over year once you get to a certain age, but it's difficult to find data on that.
And sorry, no source on this, but a lot of people around fighting gaining weight while restricting calories.
I think the probability of damage is higher is what they are thinking. I would say that the complexity is far higher in this case, so it is easier to pop 5 bolts and swap a tire then swap.....bolts, then unhook whatever is controlling them.
Hugo is a fantastic tool and I would choose it again. However there is a little annoying bug for years: If you let Hugo create a table of contents it adds an unnecessary level of nesting, if the highest level of content headings is h2. This is pretty common if you use h1 for the page title (that shouldn't be repeated in the table of contents).

But besides that Hugo is a feature rich, fast and easy to install tool.
Under _our_ technology, yes. Why would that be so for a civilization even a hundred years more advanced than ours, never mind millions? Why would they be doing planet-scale broadcasts _ever_, instead of focussing the communication as tightly as they could in the right direction?

There's so many assumptions that they'll basically use a version of modern technology but bigger in the "why can't we hear them?" question. Tight-beam, fully encrypted data with sensitive receivers could easily be utterly undetectable by our understanding.
