> previous reviews of the scientific literature have concluded that a well-planned and varied vegetarian diet can meet the needs of athletes, as it was for Roman gladiators or legionnaires.

What does this even mean? "Meet the needs" is relative to a certain quality of life. Even if the gladiators or legionnaires were vegetarian (questionable even with the paper's assumptions), who knows what their quality of life was. Probably not acceptable to our standards.

I recently started preferring the vegetarian option over the non-veg one. And what you say exactly is the same problem I am facing, having to come up with what to eat. With meat its really easy to come up with what to eat, but whenever I try to think of something vegetarian it gets hard.

Do you have any tips for someone starting to switch to a vegetarian diet? Especially when it comes to variety and how I can do this a bit easier?
Cool stuff, appreciate the answer. Makes more sense. BTW feel free to join us on relevance slack community, a lot of us we’re curious what you were doing

I'm thinking its more to do with the fact that meat was expensive and takes much more effort to cook back then, not that they were willing to just eat grains and vegetables, likely grains and vegetables were cheap and much easier to cook.

Farmed meat was a luxury in Roman times and game or wild meat was likely also expensive enough to not be eaten every day. We live in different times.

Totally agreed on the fake deadline front.

Have you ever been torn between two options and left it up to a coin flip? Only to find that mid-air, you realize which one you really wanted it to be, without even necessarily checking the coin? In the "last five minutes thing", I think the broader point there is that, A) you will need to make an actual decision, and that B) you can wallow about being indecisive for as long as you willing to let yourself. That last point feels more about deciding to make a decision to avoid prolonging B indefinitely.
We shouldn't restrict them to just farms. We should strive for fully independent biomes with space for human inhabitants. With the ability to be sealed off from all external influence. We could even plan for many of them to perform useful psychological studies on their populations. "Vaults" is one name that comes to mind for them, but we should probably number each one to keep track.
Nice! Thanks for sharing your research.

Edit: BTW, this shuld probably be a "Show HN:" post.
I found the same thing when switching to a vegetarian (now vegan) diet--you experience a whole new universe of cuisine you never had before. For example, I'd never even heard of nutritional yeast, but it's absolutely delicious and now always readily available in my pantry.

It's easier, in my personal experience, to live on a repetitive diet largely consisting of rotating meats. But when you're constrained to fruits/vegetables/grains/seeds, it becomes very boring quickly and forces you to be creative. Then you suddenly have a lot more interesting culinary experiences.
What, wheat and barley are not vegetarian?
Mini marts are different from food vendors... they don't have similar arrangements. If anything only for promotions, not exclusivity like a restaurant chain would agree to.
That was my take also - when eating 5000 calories that a lot of it is pure carb 'fuel', yes it's a low protein %, but probably a similar protein amount (in grams) to a standard diet.
After reading the article I picked out this sentence:

> The best fighters in the ancient world were essentially vegetarian.

"Essentially vegetarian" is not the same as "vegetarian". I would bet most endurance athletes are "essentially vegetarian" in that they eat way more grains than proteins, but they are not vegetarian in the sense than they have a reason (moral or otherwise) to abstain from meat.

That reinforces my suspicion that taking even mildly psychoactive substances (pot, alcohol) when you are depressed or "in a funk" is generally a bad idea. Those are the times when substance abuse is most likely to rear its ugly head.

If you possibly can, limit your use of those substances to the "good times": celebrating accomplishments, or winding down after a long successful day.

That's my two cents; I'm open to hearing other opinions.

You can only split your energy so many ways before you become ineffective or only marginally effective at your goals. You're only human, you only have so much in the tank. As a husband/father I can only put about 2-3 things on my plate outside work/family. Working out, one side project/practice, maybe something else small. It took me a long time to stop fighting myself on this, but I feel like the reduction in stress has already paid off whatever I feel I've lost by missing out on this, that, or the other thing. If I want to fit something else in, I deliberately drop something else cold for a while--I don't balance them all.

Agree with what others have said about deadlines, I use that in tandem with the recognition about limited energy above. If I have tough hill to climb...nasty bug, difficult thing to write...I'll deliberately lay back and do really light work for the first part of the day, but I'll tell myself from 2 til quitting time or whatever I feel I can muster, I'm going to go all out. And then at quitting time, I quit. I find that I operate way more effectively this way than making myself "live" with a pain in the ass task from the beginning of the day to the end (or the end of it). Sometimes it won't take long in reality, but I could end up fighting it all day, and I find being motivated for a brief "charge" puts me in a much more effective frame of mind.
All the time, never any deviation? I understand it was expensive, so they never got a treat for doing good?
A byte is the smallest addressable memory unit, nothing more, nothing less. It's true that on most modern machines it's always equal to 8 bits (and it's mandated by POSIX AFAIK) but that's orthogonal.

In French when talking about storage capacity we use "octet" instead of "byte", I always thought that made more literal sense (if you have a 1megabyte memory on a system where CHAR_BITS is 16, do you have 8 or 16 megabits?).
Teardown, Rebuild: Migrating from Hive to PySpark
GPU calculated physics works just fine when results are brought back to the Cpu.

Raycasting for game logic is cpu based as you mention because the game logic itself is on the cpu. Yet solvers and the true heavy lifting does work well on gpu.

Except, and this is the true reason we see little gpu physics, no one has spare gpu room. Thus cpu side physics wins for most games. Outside specific physics focused games giving up graphics for faster physics is not a profitable trade.

I say this as a gamedev myself who has several times made this exact decision.

Living near the people and things you need, walking, cycling, and taking electrified public transport to said things, and multi-family dwellings allowing the use of district heating (or heat pumps powered by renewable energy) can drastically reduce your carbon footprint compared to living in the burbs and driving to everything.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/mar/23/city-dwe...

Of course, you _can_ have a low carbon footprint in the country, but it's really hard, because those places are hostile to cycling and walking.
Increasing fuel prices will only incentivize people to drive less if there are alternative means of transportation. Those are absent in most parts of the US.

You could double the price of gas in the US and driving would not change much, because people would have no other way to get to work and get their kids to school. The most you could hope for is that people would buy more efficient cars.

Hi, I'm Wolfram :-)

I've run deep tech startups, large-scale engineering efforts and build leading open source projects. I've got a bit of a gap and would love to help someone get an interesting project of the ground or solve a tough problem.

Some of my projects

- I've created https://deepstream.io - the leading realtime data server (6000 Github Stars)

- I've created https://arcentry.com/ - a 3D cloud infrastructure planning and monitoring tool, written in Vue and WebGL

- I've created http://golden-layout.com/ - a webapp layout manager (4000 Github stars) and sold it to NASA, JP Morgan, Bank of America and others

Some of my work experience

- I've launched https://deepstreamhub.com - a realtime platform startup. Raised 1.5m in funding and grew it to 16 employees.

- I used to be a VP of Trading Technology at JP Morgan London

- I worked extensively in finance and trading, visualisations, networking and built complex web apps, e.g. https://vimeo.com/143728632
The "smallest possible thing" hack is a great one. It also works great for exercise. If your goal for example is to work out every morning before work, instead of setting ambitious goals for what's going to happen tomorrow morning when the alarm rings at 6am, promise yourself the following: "I will physically get out of bed. I will put on my workout clothes. I will do five pushups. If I don't feel like doing anything else after that, I will go back to bed."

When you've gotten up, gotten changed and begun to move, the prospect of going on to do an actual workout becomes like 90% less unpleasant of an idea, compared to how you perceived it from the comfort of your warm soft bed.

It works, try it.
For the same reason, but the opposite direction? Does Kuwait (in this example) have an identity strong enough that it out lasts its oil reserves, or does it faction back out among its neighbors as migrant workers disburse "home" (or the next richest country or what have you)?

Agreed... given the training regimes, they were probably consuming more than twice the amount of total food of people today. Which likely means they are eating a lot of foods from barley, etc. That doesn't preclude the intake of meat. Beyond that, it's 0.8-1.2g of protein are recommended MINIMUM daily intake to avoid diseases originating from protein deficiencies. At 220# that means 80-120g protein as a minimum. That's a fair amount, and far more than you're likely to get from vegetarian sources at the time alone.

There's also a minimum amount of essential fatty acids to consider... at the time it's not like they had canola oil. So there was definitely animal products in their diets. Revisionist theories in order to support a vegetarian agenda are pretty annoying to me. A lot of it doesn't even pass a common sense sniff test.

IIRC Barley + Lentils can give you a complete protein profile, and it's possible that maybe 1/3-1/2 of their protein intake was from non-meat sources. But I seriously doubt that even a significant minority were abstaining from meat.

So as a father of two daughters in their 20's, this makes me sad. Instead of attempting to see women as equals and moving to bridge the gap -- the best solution Wall Street can come up with is to further isolate themselves? Why can't these men just learn to treat women like the humans they are?
It's important to note that these studies over time don't include the same people. The Silicon Valley wage earners from 1997 overlap with the today's population only slightly.

I think a more telling study would be on an individual basis. Someone earning X in Silicon Valley 20 years ago is earning Y today.

A large part of being a soldier was that you had your own land that you could produce enough food to survive and buy equipment go to war. War where you could capture slaves to work your land and and riches to afford more land. The idea of the state providing the means and equipment to send soldiers to war only happened in the later era where men couldn't get land because of the artistocrats owning it all and the state had to outfit them so they could go to war.
