Not healthy at all, every nutrition professionnal will tell you.

90% of people using this "diet" will gain all the weight back; if not more, for lots of reason.

There are direct simple reasons like, by eating much less than your BMR, you are going to loose a ton of muscle mass, even though you eat "enough" protein. The lost of this muscle mass will make your BMR even lower, make your testosterone level lower, and lots of other bad consequences for your hormones.

There are lots of studies about weight loss, comparing every diet, and almost all diets don't work in the long run.

The only thing that works in the long run is eating slightly less calories than needed, with healthy food, with good macros/micros, and building muscle mass, to keep the metabolism rate high.

The thing is, with this type of diet it could take years to achieve your target weight, and not a lot of people are able to accept that, even though it's the healthiest thing to do.
congrats!

Salary is one part of that, but unless you grew up in the area, most non-hub-city regions are a hard sell for young folk, and Detroit hasn't yet recovered enough to be "hip". People used to have for move specifically to find a job, but in tech there are so many jobs available currently that you kind of get your choice of destination if you're a capable engineer, especially with remote work available.

What has happened in my experience, and as the author mentions, is that to keep yourself from feeling hungry all the time on a low-calorie diet you will automatically start eating low-calorie-density food.

The most obvious choice here are things with lots of mass that are readily available and suitable for snacking on. For me that's cherry tomatoes and carrots dipped in hummous.

While low in calories, these foods (vegetables) tend to have a high density of nutrients, so I believe what happens is you end up getting more or the same amount of nutrients for fewer overall calories.
That's a pretty good way of communicating. I need to start changing "I write web servers" to "I make sure our customers, who are frequently in the middle of nowhere, can interact with the services we offer."
This is great! Congratulations.

I recently lost a little less than 50 pounds doing Whole30 (for 30 days, followed by a lighter version with occasional exceptions). I liked it because I didn't really need to count calories. Yes, it technically falls into the "fancy diet" category since you're eliminating food groups. It had a few advantages that I think straight calorie counting didn't, though.

Its restriction from any added sugar or sweetener both naturally reduces calorie intake massively and tends to stabilize energy levels throughout the day, while eliminating cravings over time. I've found that I don't really want to eat many of the things I used to.

The foods that Whole30 eliminates tend to be emptier calories than others. There is some science behind the choices but admittedly it's not peer reviewed or anything. That said, again, I don't really miss toast, bread, or cereal that much. Dairy was hard at first but easy now (and again, swapping for water eliminates a bunch of calories). I think not drinking Diet Coke helped my health, but I have a harder time identifying why.

Also, I don't really have to try on this plan. My weight just tends to drop off without thinking about it.

I did Weight Watchers before, which kinda worked but left me both hungry fairly constantly and frustrated by the constant food lookups and logging.

Some consider Whole30 woo or unhealthy, which is fine, but it works pretty well for me.
Huh, I've been doing this for years without realizing it. I'm never hungry in the morning except for coffee (maybe that ruins this). To add more to discussion I also lift 4-5 times a week. Besides obvious physical benefits of muscle mass lifting improves life in many other ways. I notice if I ever skip or don't stick to my regular gym regimen I mentally feel unfit. Going to the gym actually increases energy and allows more productivity at work, social outings, etc.

It's hard to truly grok just how long the dinosaurs were around.

Honestly curious how you have 10.5 hours to spend at the gym every day, then 8 hours at work, and still have a life? Lost 85 lbs recently myself and have extremely flexible remote developer hours and still don't think I could find 10 hours a week to spend at a gym.
I wouldn't consider that easy, scheduling aside 10.5 hours for exercise daily is unfeasible for a lot of us.

I wouldn't say it's trivial at all. I'd consider it the most important piece of knowledge there is on the subject.

You can be on a keto diet and gain weight. You can be on a low carb diet and gain weight. And if you don't understand the basic principles of why that is, you'll think that losing weight is impossible. If you believe that keto is the only way to lose weight and you gained weight while following it, you're going to quit.

You need to understand why various diet plans work. Ultimately, they all work because they help you eat fewer calories than you're burning. If you follow the diet exactly but still consume more calories than you're burning, you will gain weight. If you don't understand that fact, you've already lost.

I can't think of a single more important fact to understand than that.

I have started a similar approach for the last 2 months using LoseIt as my app to count calories, and the goal to loose around 64 pounds by end of the year (going from 244 to 180 pounds).

I did join a gym, and this weekend decided to get a personal trainer for a couple months to be sure that I build some muscle mass too: my core is definitely weak, and gaining some muscle will not hurt to strengthen my body: had a few injuries (ankle/knee) where having muscles will probably avoid it.

So far on track, with almost 20 pounds lost (19.4 as of yesterday), and going to the gym 4 to 5 times a week 45 minutes to 1 hour at a time...

Really on it's own intelligence does not change much. You need both long term food storage and fire to really advance.
Another approach that some people might prefer is a 24h once a week fast, which I've found much easier than 12-16h daily.

I don't eat breakfast per se, just a protein shake but I found it difficult to cut out for a number of reasons.

A couple of months ago my wife and I started doing a weekly 24h fast on Sundays from breakfast Sunday to breakfast Monday. The first couple of times it was a bit of struggle but now we don't really notice anymore.

These are the basics, yes, but it's not that simple. To me, IF means: from 8PM to noon next day drink only water and (if you like) one black coffee in the morning. Then, from noon until 4PM eat just proteins, healthy oils & fats and raw vegetables - this is crucial, absoultely no carbs! Finally, from 4PM until 8PM eat everything.

That way you keep insulin under control for the 20 hours (out of 24). Your concentration and focus will increase very soon.
I'm not thinking about a sophisticated service. I'm thinking about the weakest link in the chain that I could possibly exploit to generate fake certs. Pick the least secure CA with the least secure validation method and you now have valid fake certs.

Even if DNS by itself was secure enough to validate, this is a single factor and there are many ways to exploit a single factor. Why a secondary mechanism/factor isn't required for critical infrastructure makes no sense.

> But, because for most people who are 100lbs overweight, they have a very unhealthy relationship with food. They stress eat, binge eat, binge drink, purge...

One of the points of tracking calories/ gamifying the process of loosing weight is specifically to break those associations and reward mechanisms. If you're counting the calories you consume and constantly have a reminder of what your sacrifice of not eating will get you (eg measurable progress toward weight loss), then it is easier to alter your relationship with food.
Even walking is going to be ~100 kcal/mile, so I'd say even walking 5 miles in 1.5 hrs is substantial calorie-wise.
Just guessing here, but if this feature is new, you'd want to show it to people who know what they're doing and look for it actively.

This way you can get feedback from experts in the field to refine the interface and features. Once you have a solid viable product, you can show it to the rest of the world and see how well it serves the needs of people less in the know, without frightening them with a half-baked tool.

Doing numerical computation is definitely something that comes up in CS, as well as in applied maths. For example, deep learning is all about basic calculus, and algorithms to do this. Many discrete problems can be posed as a continuous problem, which is usually called a relaxation, and more easily (approximately) solved in the continuous domain.

I'll be curious to see the details of the exploit. The TLB should only hold metadata about the address spaces involved (e.g. virtual-to-physical mapping, how many times the entry has been used recently), whereas to extract a private key as claimed, one needs the side channel to have a dependency on the data.
I've seen it fragment and specialize.

And I'm okay with that.

For instance with musicians - particularly guitarists (only because we tend to be gear enthusiasts) - Reverb.com has become our new Ebay.com. It's even replacing Craigslist for a lot of what we were doing previously (allows local deals, too).

They essentially took all the good things that were working for Ebay and tailored it to musicians. It's a slam dunk.

Indeed. http://ar.to/2010/08/red-blood-white-snow
a few years back I did trip some kind of threshold and was automatically upgraded to a business account, which means that my "business" (aka home) address now appears prominently on all my listings. Apparently ebay have no way to downgrade it again and have asked me to just create a new account - throwing away 15 years' worth of positive feedback in the process...

Did they reach out to you? Did they threaten to ban your account for not listing as much as before?

I cant imagine going through the effort to do a clean up of accounts, but not have a way to fix them. Not even a manual one.
1358 cals/day would be a 642 cal deficit a day with a 2000 calorie expenditure. That's a loss of about -4500 calories/week or around 1.28 pounds (~3500 cal/lb). A typically suggested healthy weight loss rate is around 1-2 pounds/week so those numbers are pretty reasonable to lose weight.

If you are not trying to lose a ton of weight, it might be a bit drastic and you would certainly want to take in other considerations based on your goals.
For web browsers, multiple A/AAAA are sufficient. Web browsers worked around the issues folks are mentioning some time ago using retries to each IP.

The use of SRV could help in newer API driven implementations so that scripts and other tooling could enumerate which IP's are preferred. For now, developers will just have to make use of multiple records like the browsers do.

That said, it won't likely happen because the HTTP spec does not allow new DNS implementations. The RFC would have to be deprecated with a new one that permits SRV. HTTP/2 would have been a grand opportunity to do just that. There have been many discussions [1] and debates on the issue, but I do not foresee it happening.

I was thinking the same thing. That is definitely on the low end, probably a bit too low from what I have seen. Regular life doesn't need to be added on top of it, that is included in the minimum, but any exercise should. However most people exercising aren't going to be burning more than a few hundred calories. 1800 is probably a safer place to be. And would probably suggest vitamins even if they aren't that effective just to help out a little when that low.

Maybe different learning styles? I spoke with one very young math prodigy a few years ago who told me that her secret to self teaching advanced material was that she tries several texts and ends up using the one that teaches the material in the way that she finds most intuitive.
Nope. It is deeply misunderstood across the 'industry'. Blank stares ensue.

There is opportunity in this as SEO (a 'service' that can be sold) really depends on accessibility. I find people still concerned with 'keyword frequency' and whether they have their H1 tags in the right place when it comes to 'SEO'. Nobody is talking about making the web better for everyone (which includes the customers with no accessibility problems) and that being the central plank of better sales.

A further problem is that web 'design' agencies do not have the sales staff to sell accessibility. The pitch should not be that hard given that the baby boomer generation have all the money and need spectacles to read anything closer than arms-length away.

I also have yet to see anyone offering accessibility audit services where a genuine, registered partially sighted person does the auditing and testing. This could be end to end, i.e. ordering the product and returning it, with all emails checked along the way, complete with physical packaging.

We assume 'we know best' and that we know what a screen-reader user would want rather than reach out to anyone who is practically blind and ask them what they think. Patronising!!!
I lost 50 pounds in under 200 days, and then another 20 over the next year.

Here's what worked for me:

* Calorie counting to work out baselines
* Accept the feeling of being hungry and learn to relish it ("I'm losing weight if I'm hungry")
* Do light weightlifting at home
* Exercise naked in front of a mirror for positive and negative reinforcement
RISC-V is a much bigger problem for ARM than it is for Intel.
Sure. So theoretically you can accomplish calories in < calories out by eating nothing but sugar. In practice, this doesn't work very well because sugar a) isn't filling; and b) trains your body to crave more sugar; and c) eating nothing but will leave you with deficits in pretty much every nutrient your body needs to thrive, which will in turn cause cravings. Nobody I've ever met has enough willpower to sustain a diet under those conditions.

The difficulty of weight loss isn't the math. It's how to hack your mind and body to minimize the willpower needed to maintain a caloric deficit that millions of years of evolution have optimized your system to avoid.

In general, I think it's very important that early-stage security tools make it clear in their copy that the codebase is young, not well audited, and therefore not yet fit for serious usage.

It's super fun to play with cryptography, but giving a false confidence to users who may seriously rely on it is what can lead to major problems.
To prove a point once, I lost a few kg while eating a diet that consisted solely of pizza.

Upon saying that, I wouldn't recommend it. The best weight management methods are holistic, the different facets of healthy weight management: exercise, meal composition, and serving size, all play into each other.

You want to exercise more, eat less, and eat healthier.

If you eat healthier; whole grains instead of refined carbs, lots of leafy greens, legumes to replace carbs, and avoid processed foods; then you'll feel satiated while eating less, both in calories and in just bulk amount of food.

You'll have more energy from a diet consisting of whole foods instead of refined carbs, which will allow you to exercise more and exercise harder. There's no reason why you can't burn 800 calories in an hour of hard exercise with the right diet and motivation. It might be different for other people, but for me, exercising also makes me want to eat healthier.

I've found that group classes (crossfit, spin, etc.) are a great motivator to exercise too. If you see the same people every time you go, you form a group and it becomes a social activity. Obviously that's not for all of us, but I always struggled with motivation to go to the gym solo. When I started doing functional fitness group sessions, I couldn't stop. I went to every session (3 times a week) for 8 months, the only sessions I missed were when I was out of town. Otherwise I'd turn up no matter how I felt, whether tired, sick, or hungover, I'd drag my arse out.

The big thing is really motivation. Going solo, it's really easy to lose motivation. If you have friends who are also eating healthy and working out with you, it really helps. For me, it was other people in my coworking space. The space was really big into healthy lifestyles, so there were a bunch of us who would bring healthy food to work and go to the gym together. Another great tip is to avoid buying any packaged food. Only eat food you've prepared yourself, that way you don't accidentally eat a bunch of food you don't need to as you need to physically go out of your way to make food to eat. That may include cutting bread out of your diet, it's too easy to make a piece of toast if you're peckish, it's a lot more work to cook a potato.

I didn't lose as much weight as I wanted to because alcohol was a major food group, but I toned up a whole lot and felt a lot healthier in general. It also had a positive mental health effect.

Unfortunately I moved overseas and lost my momentum. It's been 8 months since I've gone to a gym and I've managed to pick up most of my old bad habits again. At least I can still run 5 km (3 miles) in 30 minutes, so it's not all gone.

Anyway, my point is: technically, yes, simply counting calories will work for weight loss. But that's the hard way. You'll feel like shit, constantly hunger and lacking energy. Take a holistic approach to your health. And if you don't exercise and eat healthy food, you might get skinny, but you'll still be unfit and unhealthy, you just won't get a heart attack at 30.
