Yeah, I really, really don't want to break things, so I've tried to be very careful about how I'm doing this.

In the shutdown announcement I committed to keeping the site running in sunset mode for at least a year. Hopefully that's plenty of time for everyone who's aware of the shutdown to migrate, but I expect there will be stragglers.

My unofficial, subject-to-change plan for dealing with that is that at the end of the sunset year, if there's still a significant amount of traffic, I'll start throttling requests to make RawGit slower. Hopefully people will notice their websites are slow and will investigate. I'll also try to notify stragglers individually by filing issues against their GitHub repos if possible.
> Let's begin with the fact that we're not lions. We're not even carnivores.

It is evident we are not lions. It is also evident that we are not carnivores. Are you sure we are omnivores?

Fasting has been recommended in Eastern cultures for thousands of years. If they were bad, we would have known.

> Then, we come to the magic of "unnatural" food. We'll leave out the fact that such a thing doesn't exist and assume you mean processed food.

Processed food is unnatural. We were not designed to eat such crap. The diseases we have to endure are the evidence.
Try feeding your dog or cat the same crap and they get sick too. What more proof is needed?

> Have you actually seen wild lions? They look roughly the same in the sense that "all white people look the same". I.e. not at all.

What I meant is that they look lean and mean. Not one obese lion will you find in the wild.

I have always used RSS. After Google shutdown their Reader, I switched to InoReader. It's a tad slow but much better than alternatives (e.g. Feedly). The reason I prefer RSS is that I need to keep track of a lot of blogs and sites on topics of my interest, and with a feed reader I can "star" them, mark them as unread, search across them (yes!), and group them into sections so that I can process them more efficiently.

Some of us just want more control without flashiness, in an organized but flexible way, in how we consume content, and RSS + a good reader is perfect for it.
Investigate Minneapolis. Winters are hard, but it is a great biking place, and has many cultural institutions that punch way above their weight. Its tech focus may be more in the direction of medical devices and commodity ag, but that's not bad. Cray Research grew up a stone's throw away, and the area still supports significant resources for the company.

Good food, too, and, despite being land-locked, lots of water activities, even within the cities (swimming beaches, boating, etc.)

Yeah, Masstree has settled into the standard set of comparator systems for most research since it was published - and not as a strawman "this system was crap, so let's pretend we've done good work by beating it!" but as a real challenge to do better than.

Very fair article. Raises doubt in a very productive way, not the he-said she-said of previous rebuttals.

I'd go further to say it isn't just about the accuracy of the bloomberg piece, but implies bad things about their journalistic integrity. I mean, get real, Ars doesn't have an investigative journalism team. The one-sidedness of the bloomberg article becomes very apparent.

Imagine parent telling some underground rebel group that their revolution would be more successful if they organized it with Jira.

Meanwhile, this concern is so far away from the rebels, who are doing just fine with pen and paper, and are more concerned with basic needs like surviving undetected.

People are of course excited by this initiative, and wish to contribute how they know. Except what they have is hammers, and there are no nails to be seen.

It looks like you are helping, but you are only diluting the focus from what's important to what's easy to mindlessly talk about in a forum.

It looks like people are trying to organize how to organize, instead of actually organizing anything. It's like the difference between being a writer and a word processing expert.
Non-stop as in on all days in Ramadan consecutively. It's quite trendy to do alternating fasting cycles like "5:2" (five days 'normal', 2 days fasting, typically separated). Ramadan is ~30 days of fasting during daylight hours in a row.
Bento really isn't designed to be eaten while driving (or even moving around). Eating while standing would be possible but probably less than ideal. Most bentos are designed to be eaten with chopsticks.

The primary on-the-go food would be onigiri, with "festival booth" foods second (mostly stuff on a stick e.g. karaage, dango, yakitori, takoyaki, ikayaki).
This is not, mostly, my personal anecdotal experience these are my observations of the "way it works" for many people throughout the industry, especially those working at startups.

Notice that I said nothing about working outside of the typical 40 hour work week and yet you immediately took my comment to be concerned with that. Absolutely the core problem with slack is that it makes it easier for people to be inconsiderate of other's time by making synchronous communication the norm. Slack normalizes the model of everyone communicating synchronously all the time and everyone interrupting everyone else's work in order to communicate, which is corrosive both to productivity and the overall office environment (for the reasons I outlined above).

And yes, there are ways to "use slack better" but the problem here is that most tools encourage a natural pattern of use, and if that pattern has a severe negative impact then using that tool will tend to have a negative impact on work as well, on average. See also: using gotos in code or writing readable Perl programs. If there is a "correct" way to use slack then that should be the default, baked into the software, and it should take work to use slack incorrectly. Unfortunately, the exact opposite is true, using slack well requires an uphill battle. People aren't complaining about slack being impossible to use "correctly", they are complaining that it's an uphill battle to do so.
a hardware switch that would disable all inputs/sensors (except maybe the touch screen) on your "phone" would be nice.
I hear you. It is not the best user experience I agree, but it does take away the (tiny) server component. I will try to improve the experience.

And by the way, cool idea to use the pen on the smartphone.
That would be a good fit potentially.

It is trivial to secure a system by powering it off and disconnecting it from the Internet.

That also makes said system useless for getting work done.

Many people do not care about security at all; they just care that it "works". If we want the world to be more secure, the best (but hardest) way to make that happen is to make it cheaper/easier/faster to be secure than to be open (for example, Let's Encrypt).

I'll Let Myself In: Tactics of Physical Pen Testers [video] (2017)
Yep! I see the difference now. I'll give this a try. Thanks.
You didn't provide any specifics, so you got a generic answer.
Nope, it doesn't wreck your body, not even close.

This is because of homeostasis. You normally have close to, iirc, 2000Kcal floating in your blood, intracellular fluid, & cells. If you get too much more, then the pancreas will produce insulin to stimulate your body to store the excess as fat.

But when you are temporarily under-fed as with Intermittent Fasting or Time Restricted diet, the insulin simply doesn't arrive to force it out of the bloodstream so it can maintain the levels; levels can also be restored by converting fat stores to maintain the appropriate blood sugar level.

So, you've always got something like that ~2000Kcal store ready to go, and you don't need to worry about 'bonking' on any normal workout with any normal IF or TR diet.

I personally did once manage to do something like you worry about, during off-season training one year in my career in international-level alpine ski racing. I did a 3-day fast, with a solid weight workout (including big muscle groups) on Day#1. No problem. Then, at the end of fasting Day#3, I felt really energetic, so broke the plan and did another really heavy leg weight workout, which went great. However, about an hour+ afterwards, I felt really wobbly/shaky from low blood sugar. This was fixed with a single big orange juice smoothie. It was really cool to feel it take effect -- within minutes. And, there was no break in the training routine after these events, just continued on as usual.

Admittedly it's a single test, but it shows that it can take a lot more than one workout on a TR or IF day to even get to an out-of-the-ordinary state, and it's easily fixed when you do. Not really anything to worry about.

Yes, because Apple has such a dialed-in phone manufacturing operation their gross margins are much higher than Samsung so they have more wiggle room on the core parts. Most estimates have Apple's gross margins on phones to be 1.5x-2x those of Samsung.

Thousands of Amazon Delivery Drivers Won’t Be Eligible for the $15 Wage
I'm 485. I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2012 at 650 (after losing 40 through liquid diet).

5 weeks ago I was 515. I started a fitness challenge at a CrossFit gym, I workout 4 days a week, I eat Keto, and I (sometimes) eat just one meal a day. I find it really hard, like extremely hard when doing IF to get all my protein in for the day.

I kid you not, because of my stomach size, the keto effects (lower hunger), and only having an hour or two window for food when I stick to IF completely I can't get more than 50 protein, and 600 calories.

This week, I've modified it to fit my body, I've added body fortress protein which 1 scoop in almond milk = 8 carbs, and 60 protein (my daily minimum). I eat this around 11 or noon. Then I try to have my 1 meal at 5pm. Is it IF? Not completely, but I feel for me it works a lot better.

I can probably still get only 600-800 calories a day; example: 2 burgers + 1/4th cup cheese and a dab of mayo and I'm stuffed to capacity, it takes an entire hour to finish this much food, but at my weight that's no biggie, the biggest thing is getting protein so my weight lifting at CrossFit has good results.

I'm no expert on physiology, so if anyone has tips to maximize my progress (I'm about losing more (fat) and gaining more(muscle) as fast as humanly possible).

Physically I feel like a million dollars, depression is mostly gone and anxiety as well. I'm a little obsessed on my diet/exercise regime, not sure that's bad. I started taking Vyvanse for ADHD so that also curbs appetite/hunger and has helped me focus more on my code/work. Last year I had major depression with dark thoughts, this year I feel like a different person, I'm also seeing a therapist for that stuff as of a few months ago.

> Emphasis added, because of course you don't need to, and most people don't. Apple themselves have been working at it and Mojave contains a bunch of new restrictions and brings more visibility to what software wants what.

That's a good point. It is interesting, still, that someone took time to build an app like that - maybe its perception vs. reality, but I have seen a lot of coverage on how various spyware can use your cam without you knowing. Good that Apple is improving the security of the default system.

> And for that matter if you don't actually use the camera much/ever (likely true for many on HN) you could simply physically block it with an opaque black sticker, or even drill it out and stick some black epoxy in there or similar.

Agree - and I'm researching use of YubiKey (or something similar with proven security model) as a 2nd factor w/ OpenBSD, as I think it has a better security model vs. closed-source fingerprint scanner.

- Tactics for cloning RFID passes by passing close to people with a non-contact RFID reader

- Most police cars in the US are keyed with a fleet key, which again is legal to buy. And the police cars get sold off and become taxis, without the locks being changed...!

- Lots of ways to defeat latches, door handles, emergency exit bars, deadlock thumb turners

I don't mind the Pocket button, but Pocket shouldn't be considered a replacement for RSS/Atom. People need to be able to choose what information they consume, not leave it to algorithms. Algorithmic news feeds are one of the current problems with information on the Web.

I hope the browser will still suggest feed-reading extensions when users land on feeds. Not doing that would be shady.

What about water fasting for longer periods? Have you gone 24/48/72 hours without any food? I find that longer fasts tend to work better for me, since I end up eating more calories in the 8 hours window in a 16/8 IF regime. But if don't eat for close to 36 hours, even with the increased food intake, I would still come out ahead.

If you fast long enough, say 48 hours I think, your body enters a mode of "autophagy", which is highly beneficial. So there's that.

Labeling is slightly different than simply informing, in that it is a specific method of informing. It would be like requiring Google to display information regarding this security issue on all of its pages.

Warning labels have dubious efficacy, as evidenced by decades of grotesque warnings upon cigarette packaging and their limited success at reducing consumption; but that's not to say we ought not be able to know about the potential harms of a product or service, just that product labels sort of suck as a method of informing users.

OTOH, Canada requires nutritional information on all food, and that's reasonably useful and successful _because_ the content of that label is strictly defined and reasonably useful.

Yes, you can look at our digestive system and teeth to see clear omnivore adaptations. Both are closer to say bears than either cows or lions.

I once got a really good phishing email pretending to be ebay. It included my full legal name and my ebay id. It was some BS threatening to sue me for nonpayment if I didn't paypal them money or some stupid shit like that.

So I forwarded it to spoof@ebay.com with the message "reporting phishing email" or something. Somehow that report got "handled" by a clueless, non-technical, front line rep who thought I thought the email was real and was inquiring about the contents of the email. Pissed me off that the email wasn't handled by the correct department. I won't be bothering to forward any more phishing emails anymore.
It's fashionable to love it according to the numbers and these replies...
First, because the dataset itself might be biased in subtle ways, in which case your cross validation won't help. This happens All. The. Time. For example, your training set for speech recognition might use a nice microphone uniformly, and everything goes to hell once you deploy to cell phones, because the microphones have different characteristics.

Or, in the case of financial markets, the future might not look like the past. And the present might not look like the past... So you get datasets that are very time-specific, and thus prone to overfitting to local conditions and/or noise.

Secondly, you can absolutely overfit your cross validation set, same as p-hacking. Run experiments until you have a slight positive, statistically significant result, then tell your managers you've got some crazy new sliver of alpha. And then when it hits really new data, it falls to pieces, because repeated experiments on noise will eventually produce a statistically significant result.

It's like the old saw about freshmen who don't know that they don't know... Our current ML models tend to be like freshmen, or freshmen with bandaids...
