“Make someone do something they’re afraid of at a level they can handle and they get better at it and less afraid”.

Not surprising. This is how I conquered my deep fear of flying. I took some flying lessons and even had the instructor do stalls and other scary stuff and I was 95% better afterward.

It’s so much easier to take a drug or blame biochemistry than to face your fears. I think it’s underrated in today’s world where there’s a handy diagnosis for everything.

Note: not casting aspersions on people with serious issues. But when 20% of the US population is supposed to have anxiety disorders, something doesn’t make sense.

To be more precise the answer, in a word: "Hormones".

Obesity is a endocrine disorder.

Sugar -- it so happens -- majorly screws up the endocrine system. Other things do too... but sugar is the biggie.
Source? I treat all sugar the same, "to be consumed conservatively." My understanding is that the body processes pretty much all the same. Happy to read more from your sources
Uh, it could also be the wealth increase that globalization brought? Food is more affordable now than ever before as well. I hope we don't throw around casually theories like that. These things usually are very complex and have multitudes of cause which may or may not center around a single event.

Now bash and anything using readline will use vi key bindings. This Just Works for most of the common cli tools, e.g. the python shell and psql, but there are exceptions. In the past, the mysql client hasn't respected these settings, and there's also a node library called vorpal that is reinventing readline, poorly and for no obvious reason.

In a recent report, it was reported that 18% of Amazon's revenue is from these 3rd parties thru fees and services.

Given Thorondor's sibling comment to yours:

Alpha Centauri A has a mass of 1.1x the sun, and is about 4.37ly away, which would mean our sun's gravity well runs out at

(1/2.1)*4.37 = 2.08ly - i.e. any object in orbit 2.08 ly away would (even if affected by nothing else), fall into Alpha Centauri A's gravity well before completing a full orbit and therefore couldn't possibly remain in orbit around our sun.

If that's true (and I have no idea whether any of it is true), then I think 2.08ly must be an upper bound on the outer boundary of the Oort cloud.

EDIT: Ah, I'm thinking 2-dimensionally. Of course, something could be in a much larger orbit in a plane that doesn't go near Alpha Centauri.

The difference is that training wheels are intended to be a temporary assistance until you've learned to operate without them, while development tools are meant to be a productivity boost.

Right, but pro cyclists don't say they couldn't do it without piece of equipment X. X is just a performance boost. Some coders say they couldn't practically do it at all without X. There would be a big difference in fitness between a commuter being unable to make a certain trip without a motor assist, and a rider who could do the same trip without the motor assist. I think most would look askance at a "pro" in the 1st category.

If you're working with a toolchain and aren't leaning on it, you're not working to your full potential.

Yes, but you need to be wary that you're using the toolchain for its intended purpose. The toolchain is supposed to be saving you typing and lookup time. It's not supposed to be substituting for your actual understanding of the code. The former is a good thing, and you should be good at using the tool for that. The latter is a bad thing, and you shouldn't be doing that. By working out with nothing but an editor sometimes, you can work out in a way that guards against that.

No football player plays actual games running through tires, but the exercise is apparently helpful.

But I recognize it as a personal preference, and not a question of moral superiority.

It's not moral superiority. It's using tools as intended and not substituting for understanding.

The Kessler syndrome is not a concern for geo orbits for a couple of reasons. One is that there is so much more space in geo orbits that the odds of collision are even more rare. The other is that everything in Geo is more or less moving at the same speed in the same direction. Unlike LEO you don't have satellites flying with intersecting orbits.

It all ends up as glucose. If you eat glucose, it goes straight into your blood stream as glucose. If you eat fructose, it gets converted into glucose. If you eat starches, the polymers are chopped into simple sugars of glucose and fructose, and the fructose is converted to glucose. Whether you eat glucose directly, or eat other sugars and starches, it all ends up as glucose. The only difference is the workload that you create for your liver.

You don't mention where you are, and that's key. If you're in a major city, there are many good places. I know Chicago, NYC, LA, and SF have thriving improv communities. I'd say check Yelp and see what you have around you.

Depending on your personality, I'd either look for a structured program (e.g., Improv Olympic in Chicago has 6 levels that are 8 weeks each) or a place that has drop-in classes that are open to beginners. The former is nicely structured, and an intro class will be full of people who are novices like yourself. The latter will be more freeform, but it lets you try it out without commitment and see what more experienced performers are like.

You should also think a little about where you want to go with it. Some improv is more in the direction of creating longer narratives. Some is very focused on skit creation. Some of it is very game-like. [1] If one of those resonates with you, it may be worth seeking out. If not, I'd say just take a class and see what you think.

People are fat because they eat too much, and they have almost no incentive to stop it. Sure, they are mostly eating the wrong things too, in the wrong amounts, but the bottom line is the number of calories going in the front door.

I lost 40 pounds all while drinking gallons of beer in college. I did it by eating less and moving more. It was not an optimal way to lose weight, but it was effective.

These days I keep thin by eating high protein/fat, easy-to-digest carbs, and vegetables, and keeping sugar to a minimum.

There's a million ways to lose weight, and some are easier than others. But I promise you, if you eat less than your body needs to survive, you will start losing weight.

Today it's culturally acceptable to be fat, and there is ready access to so-so quality food in large cheap quantities. I love sugar. I have a massive sweet tooth. I have to be disciplined to stop from consuming all the candy in the world. Some people choose not to be disciplined. Their choice I guess.
The question that no one in the thread is addressing is Amazon's thirst for growth.

By not developing a close to foolproof protocol for detecting and eliminating 'spam' (i.e fake products), this incentives the sellers to keep doing what they are doing.

I am not saying that this is not an easy problem. It is an incredibly difficult problem, but what has made Amazon super successful in the past, is figuring out incredibly difficult problems.

Maybe I am being impatient, but this problem has persisted for quite a long time. Their are ads everywhere.

I just speak for myself, but having to spend close to an hour sifting out what is a fake review and what is not, does not encourage trust from me.

I would be really interested what the customer retention is like for people who have received fake products.

My favorite Knuth quote: "Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration. I try to learn certain areas of computer science exhaustively; then I try to digest that knowledge into a form that is accessible to people who don't have time for such study."

Is this a perfect example for "clickbait"?
Totally anecdotal, and I wasn't obese but only marginally overweight; but when I was in the USA, I couldn't seem to get any lighter than 165-170 pounds even when trying to diet and exercise heavily (like 3-4 times a week of strenuous exercise for 1-2 hours minimum, and keeping track of all the food I was eating); but then when I lived in Japan for a few months (probably one of the skinniest countries in the world), I didn't even try to diet and I lost 15 pounds (now I'm at 150 lbs).

Lifestyle is clearly a big influence here. My understanding is that generally speaking foods are not sweetened as much there, portions are smaller, and people walk a hell of a lot more. I've also heard that the quality of ingredients in general tends to be higher across the board.

The cheap food, which I ate a whole lot of, aren't even something I could consider "healthy"—lots of fried food like tempura and kara-age, along with lots of noodles—but even without restraint eating those, I still ended up losing weight without trying. Interestingly I think my diet got a lot higher in carbohydrate intake and my protein intake shrank. Probably some amount of my weight loss involved muscle loss, but my belly shrank considerably as well, so I don't think it was exclusively that.

I think I just gradually got used to eating less, stimulating myself with sugar less frequently and intensely (omg, even diet soft drinks and gum are so powerfully sweet), and being more active, and now that I'm back I realize just how much of a premium I have to pay to not get huge portions of food completely saturated with fat and sugar.

Yes! In Feb I've got diagnosed with diabetes - My estimated average glucose was 269 (mg/dL), A1C was 11.0!!! (1/31/2018)

Got started (myself) on diet, doctor prescribed me metmorphin and something stronger (had to stop it). Nearly 4 months ago, I'm without any medications again.

Not the best results - but on 5/15/2018 I was down to 126 mg/dL (6.0), and on 8/21/2018 + 12/4/2018 - same result of 114 (5.6) - ideally I should be lower - but this is without medications!

What did I changed - Went full carnivore... hah not really - but I am subscribed to various groups (still evaluating for myself)

I simply cut down not only sugar, but carbs too - though I decided to eat certain fruits in small quantities - like blackberries, strawberries, tangerines (they are small, so I can control it), occasionally watermelon (who knew!). No bananas, apples, etc + I can't give up tomatoes (technically fruits), cucumber, lettuce + nuts, cheese, etc.

When I got stomach flu (some mild food poisoning), went to "BRAT" diet for a day though - but just the RICE, apart from that avoiding rice, wheat, potatoes (very little, no fries at all).

Beer? Beer a month, and I used to jug 10 guinesses a night (heavy \m/etal style).

So it's a bit boorish, but had to do it.

Lost 40-50 lbs (320 -> 270, I'm 6'4"). Waist from 42-43 -> 38, still have belly fat though. Do exercises by walking the dog a lot + Iron Mind (can squeeze 3 with right hand, 2.5 with left). Started doing pull ups, and was very excited I can do 7 - but forgot one day to properly warm up - and had to stop for 2-3 months, as I tore something, would continue after new year.

Tried running, but not for me.

Other than that - no longer feeling sleepy through the day, had energy, but it's a bit different - I used to be able to grab two dudes on my side and lift them - I can't do this anymore (stupid thing really). Lol - another anecdotal thing - during mosh-pits used to be more stable - hahaha (too old for this shit anyway) - now can get put down easier (weight must count for something really).

So you go.

SUGAR... is the drug DEA should really look into :)
Mostly it comes from our diet and what we eat.

We've become accustomed to eat for our senses (taste) instead of our survival (nutrition).

We're addicted to the taste of 'good' food.

Then you have food companies who are engineering that addictive taste for your senses.

A habit develops and it's hard to shake that off.
Compare the serving sizes and caloric intakes at a USA restaurant with those in Japan, for example, and you'll see why. It's not hard to figure out, we put HFCS and sugar in everything now and people eat 2x as much as they used to.

I lost 30 pounds over 2 years by being hungry non-stop and walking about 3 miles per day to work, so losing weight isn't just a "pill disease" that we can solve with a pill, it requires a person to have the self-control to be hungry and exercise, and (from experience) over-eaters don't tend to have much self-control in that area.

I think obesity should be treated more as a mental health issue than physical (for most people, there are exceptions), because there is no better way to lose weight than diet and exercise and doing it at a slow rate.

Obesity is an example of a problem like climate change. We know how to solve it (less sugar, better food, less calories, more moving) but no one wants to take those steps. I feel like this will also fall back onto the food companies, who will probably be reviled in 50 years like the tobacco companies are today.

Not all bariatric surgeries are the same. The lap band doesn't perform well long term. The Roux-en-Y procedure is one of the very few obesity treatments that carry long-term success, where the patients keep the lost weight off.

Waiting around for a better understanding is crazy, given the health complications are occurring now.

Quality of life increases. Medications are eliminated or reduced. Long-term mortality is reduced (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa066603 )
I never said the manager was a good or bad person. We all do lots of good and bad things, and the labels overall are pointless to apply to people.

I did say "good manager" - for a particular role or job, I find "good X" an acceptable shorthand for "understands the core responsibilities of X well and reliably executes them well."

I just read the outline for volume one, sounds really interesting. Has anyone read V1? What sort of mathematical background is required to understand it? Is it proof heavy and really terse like CLRS?
The body (ie the brain) is amazing at adapting to its environment. One thing to keep in mind is that as unhealthy food becomes the norm for a person, their brain sets a new baseline for how much of this food it thinks the body can handle (side effect: more sweets are needed to release pleasure in the brain).

Speaking from my own experience, I eat pretty healthily, and cook most of my own meals. The few times I've had anything sweet in the last decade, I could only handle a small amount of it before my brain and stomach were telling me I've had enough. If I push myself, I began to feel ill. (Example: 4-5 Sweetish Fish is enough for me)

My own defense mechanism is because of my parents. They never bought soda and sweet snacks (e.g. gushers, fruit roll ups) at the grocery store, although a handful times a year I got to go to a candy store and pick out a couple items.

I would guess (based on anecdotal experience though) that a child's diet is the number one cause/preventative of obesity. It sets the culinary stage that they will dance on for the rest of their life.
I usually go for 48-72 hour water fasts, IF has never done anything for me for some reason. Haven't tried much beyond 80 hours or so, mostly because I get bored of it. https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Fasting-Intermittent-A... is a pretty decent resource on it.
I hate cars as much as the next tree hugging urbanist but they are almost certainly not a major culprit here. In the US cars were almost as dominant as they are today in the 1950s-70s (for adults, kid were much more likely to walk to school then). If anything the use of car has stayed close to constant. How we spend our time when not in transit has become far more sedentary though. Instead of going out and doing things for recreation we shitpost on the internet. Instead of manually washing dishes we load the dishwasher and go watch netflix. Our jobs have also become much less physically demanding. Many jobs that would have one engaging in a moderate amount of physical activity have been automated or altered to be far less demanding though this has greatly reduced workplace injuries from repetitive strain (manhandling stuff around all day might not be good for your back but you're not gonna get fat doing it). Even someone employed as a secretary is going to do far less physical work and walking around the office than in 1970 thanks to tech.

Entirely anecdotal, but all my friends that moved to France are now 15-20 pounds lighter than they used to.
I strongly agree with this. I cut out sugar because I was getting sinus headaches. When I cut it out (multiple times) I would go through full withdrawal (massive sinus headache, cold sweat, shakes, vomiting). There are hundreds of articles that say you cannot develop a physical dependence on sugar, but I disagree from personal experience.

That said, avoiding it is tough. I understand why people would gain weight back when leaving a clinical setting. It's in everything and there is a reason it is in everything; it causes people to eat more of the things it is in. I'm lucky in a sense, I have a strong physical reaction when I eat the wrong thing and that helps me make the right choices (things that don't make me feel like hell). If other people don't have this physical dependence though, they would have no punishment for eating incorrectly. That's a much harder problem to address and I don't have the answers for it.
Fstringify: tool to convert a python project's %-formatted strings to f-strings
It's the habits.

In the 1970s - people did not have a habit of eating 3 full blown high calorie meals. They were working physically intense jobs (agriculture, mines, metallurgy etc). Nowadays the hardest thing we do is think. They'd spent more time outdoors. They'd rather do sports and spend time in nature actively resting than binge watching tv-shows and movies on the weekends. People didn't have as much food available to them as today. They also had less commodity.

Why do people regain fat they lose? It's the habits.

They'll get the bariatric surgery done, but will never change the habits. They'll go through the 600 calorie liquid diet and will continue to eat the same things that made them fat initially.

They'll continue binge watching tv shows on the weekends, without lifting anything heavier than their spoon or the remote.

They'll continue undergoing the fad diets that don't do anything but make their metabolism slower and make their bodies over compensate due to starving. People are lazy and refuse to listen to their bodies, but will gladly listen to the brainbait titles of famous ads/instagram posts.

Why we're fat? We're fat because we look for immediate gratification that sugar produces rather than the gratification of being able to climb ten floors of stairs with ease. My dad recently told me that he wants to do bariatric surgery which will "jumpstart" his weight loss. He unfortunately can't walk 200 meters right now, without getting tired. Do you think something will change if he undergoes the surgery or will he continue eating the same :) ? I bet it's the latter, since he won't have an incentive to change something.
