I started with foundational concepts which will overlap some with the official docs. The advantage of my site is I wanted it to be more readable, since the official docs can be hard to navigate. In the future, I want to cover topics like Composer and Slim which would not be appropriate for PHP.net.
While I agree exercise isn't very effective to treat obesity, it is still healthy for you to exercise, even if it's not going to help you lose weight. There are a lot of people who are overweight who have healthier hearts and lungs then normal weight people due to exercise.
> that no matter how much we try, exercising and eating less won't work

Definitely disagree here. These are the only things that work. How else can you lose weight other than by moving more and eating less?
She's not. If Democrats give in to the demands of Pres. Trump it will only embolden him that his methods work. Democrats have nothing to lose, they passed a clean bill, they offered money for border security, etc. Democrats tried negotiating in good faith, Pres. Trump has his opinions literally dictated by Fox News and right wing pundits, which means that even his own party can't even count on him.

This is entirely meant to be a distraction from the Mueller investigations so Pres. Trump has no vested interest in ending it. He had 2 years in which to get the funding passed unopposed, he chose not to. This is entirely a manufactured controversy intended to distract. Anything the Democrats did agree to would immediately be thrown out by Pres. Trump. The only person who can end the shutdown is the President.

I also have 100,000 posts scattered about forums from the early 2000's, but very few (less than 1,000) since after 2010. The trend towards downvote groupthink is not an insignificant part of the reason I've dropped content generation.

'Pushed out' dark matter is curved spacetime.

Dark matter is a supersolid that fills 'empty' space, strongly interacts with ordinary matter and is displaced by ordinary matter. What is referred to geometrically as curved spacetime physically exists in nature as the state of displacement of the supersolid dark matter. The state of displacement of the supersolid dark matter is gravity.

The supersolid dark matter displaced by a galaxy pushes back, causing the stars in the outer arms of the galaxy to orbit the galactic center at the rate in which they do.

Displaced supersolid dark matter is curved spacetime.
So this is indeed a major concern.

While no one has actually started mining operations yet, they are working in that direction, trying to get ahead of the environmental impacts first and foremost.

While there is a strong argument for “protecting” the environment, I don’t see that as a justification in it if itself to not do resource extraction. While not perfect, they seem to be heading toward a conservative approach to mining. In it (at least last I heard) they are deliberately setting aside large swaths of areas with the valuable resource as “wildlife reserves” similar to what we do in the United States, and Australia is going for the Great Barrier Reef.

I don’t know the future here, but there are too many people in this planet clamoring for resources not to look at all options (though personally I would prefer to enable space mining).
There's a security feature called W^X [0] (also called DEP in Windows). Basically you can use special mode which prevents memory pages to be writeable and executable at the same time, so self-modifying code is not allowed, but it prevents exploits from modifying memory containing executable code. OpenBSD uses it as well.

If you do a web edit/pr, github will create a fork on your account for that PR... this happens to me if I do a quick readme submission (a few times a month) ... I go in every few months and constantly surprised the number of lingering forks I have. I really wish that if the fork was created to do a documentation edit in the web interface, when the PR is requested, if the only things in the fork are that edit, it would just vacuum it away for me.

Aside: I've also forked repos just to remember to look at them later. I really need to get in the habbit of curating my browser bookmarks better... I don't trust them though as the syncing has sometimes borked them.
The key is that people actually don't eat less. They feel more hungry when they exercise, which drives them to eat more, which pushes the vicious cycle even further.

That thought is precisely what the people who created this article wanted you to have.

Ironically if you couldn’t see this unassisted then you’re the one who should be banned from voting.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Spring Boot or JHipster (Or maybe I missed it).

Please do look into JHipster.tech It builds production grade web apps in a matter of minutes! The backend is Spring framework and you can choose your frontend to be React/Angular/VueJs (I recommend Vue). You can pick a DB, testing tools, monitoring tools etc.

The generated app is ready to go into production and all major cloud providers are supported out of the box.

All you need is a well-defined data model.

I'm curious what the problem with the "Let's Move" effort was. I was only aware of it (I wasn't part of it, and never set out to read about it, just caught reports on news or random articles), but it seemed to emphasize two things: eating healthy (which got a lot of flak from conservative commentators for some reason) and exercise (the "move" in the name).

If it only focused on the latter, I'd agree with you. But nearly everything I heard about it had to do with the former (healthier food options for schools and such).
We did figure it out years ago; it's called Swank (for SLIME). While it was intended for Lisp dialects, there's also an implementation for JavaScript.

LSP is Swank for other kinds of languages, and is certainly welcome, but neither the idea nor successful implementations of that idea is new.
How well would it work as a testbed for learning algorithms? I heard that you get good access to game data etc.

> What I don't understand is this dislike for investing ahead of growth or success. Why is the expectation that everything can be done bootstrapped or constantly profitable?

I don't see a disdain for investing, I see a general disdain for the misaligned incentives between founders and investors which has been around SV for decades. It's been a heated topic of debate at least since Steve Jobs was kicked out of Apple and yet the VC industry keeps growing and growing.
There are at most 65536 ports per remote IP.

TCP connections are basically identified with an (ip, port) tuple.

Also you can set the file descriptor limits to whatever you want.
The problem with the other classes is that their starting equipment is less random, so it's more difficult to figure out which seed you are on. You would have to include more of the generated map in the database to figure out which seed you are on.

And of course this would all be shot to hell if Nethack went to a 64 bit seed.
Paid for by?... I distrust free anything. VCs aren’t free money; healthcare is paid for by someone; professors have a salary even if tuition is waived; UBI requires cash to materialize from someone’s efforts...

Further removing people from the most important parts of life and entrusting those to a benevolent central authority is a risk I’d personally _not_ take. The lessons I learned from the most recent US presidential election is how grateful I am for separation of powers and limits on the scopes that any one person (or branch of government) can actually impose on my day-to-day life.

I’d prefer to not see UBI furloughed because two parties I’m not connected to would prefer to grandstand over a budgetary rounding error than solve problems.
Logically it's the answer, just like drug addiction is solved by stopping the use of drugs but of course knowing that alone doesn't really help.
To be fair, most TASes have RNG exploitation, just of a different sort (they do things that cause the RNG to be polled so that they can get rid of "bad results" and force a desired result).
I find protein bars are pretty good at fighting my hunger pangs.
also, the 0.002% don't represent all of the outlier positions, and even less so, all of the interesting ones.

some people (1) have a compulsion to speak, (2) don't feel as much cost from (online) admonishment, and (3) have enough wherewithal to experiment with ideas and presentational approaches. (i'm sure there are other qualities, but these are some).

on another tangent, social cohesion requires that a certain number of people incur the social costs of calling out bad behavior. that seemingly tends to be power law too, since the number of people who don't mind the social costs are quite low. even many law enforcement officers (whose very job it is) care a lot about what other people think and won't always act against self interests when necessary.
That's interesting, I thought everyone does it like me. When reading Song of Ice and Fire, I found it particularly pleasurable to imagine the scenery, visual, textural, the audio, what it would be like to touch something, the wind, the heat, the cold, fear, tiredness, angst, etc. etc. etc. I probably enjoyed being teleported to another place as much as all the story telling devices.

Though, now that I think about it, when analysing poems in school, I did fine looking for patterns and devices, except when it was something to do with how the words sound. For example, I would never find rhymes, or when some sound is used alot. Somehow the part of my thinking that deals with sounds is latent, and I've not found a way to access it consciously.
I'm a fan of WikiJS. Though I havent personally gone through setting it up, the last two web projects I worked on used it. I found the UI intuitive and easy to use. I loved being able to updates either in a code editor or in the browser UI.

Thats a good point. PHP is a general language, but used almost exclusively for web development and most websites now use a framework (symfony/laravel......) etc.

The first step in the number field sieve is to represent the number to be factored as a polynomial (two, in fact), and it is assumed in the following steps that these polynomials do not split. If these polynomials did split with reasonable probability, the number field sieve would be a lot shorter.

The usual reference for this is Brilhart et al. [1], which deals with polynomial representations in arbitrary bases, as opposed to strictly base 2, as is the case here.

I found this study from 1973 interesting where an extremely obese individual performed a supervised fast for about a year and dropped from 456 to 180 pounds.

> A 27-year-old male patient fasted under supervision for 382 days and has subsequently maintained his normal weight. Blood glucose concentrations around 30 mg/100 ml were recorded consistently during the last 8 months, although the patient was ambulant and attending as an out-patient. Responses to glucose and tolbutamide tolerance tests remained normal. The hyperglycaemic response to glucagon was reduced and latterly absent, but promptly returned to normal during carbohydrate refeeding. After an initial decrease was corrected, plasma potassium levels remained normal without supplementation. A temporary period of hypercalcaemia occurred towards the end of the fast. Decreased plasma magnesium concentrations were a consistent feature from the first month onwards. After 100 days of fasting there was a marked and persistent increase in the excretion of urinary cations and inorganic phosphate, which until then had been minimal. These increases may be due to dissolution of excessive soft tissue and skeletal mass. Prolonged fasting in this patient had no ill-effects.

> During the 382 days of the fast, the patient's weight decreased from 456 to 180 lb. Five years after undertaking the fast, Mr A.B.'s weight remains around 196 lb.

I don't know why I haven't seen more studies where extremely obese individuals just stop eating.

> Exercise to get healthy, treat the metabolism boost as a bonus. Exercise does not cancel out foods

Thank you! Exercise should be completely supplemental to overall health, not to lose weight. The amount of times I've seen people eat an awful meal while trying to lose weight because they "worked out extra hard" is astonishing.

Losing weight is almost completely related to what you put in your body. While you can certainly lose weight from exercise, it's by far not the most profound way to do so.

Congrats on your weight loss by the way, former fat kid myself, I know it's not an easy process and keeping it off is just as hard!
Agreed but how do you establish the relationship in the first place?

Then only options I see is to a) hope google finds you interesting enough, b) paid advertising, or c) word of mouth.

What are the other methods ? I am asking because I can't think of anything else.

I think that's one of the arguments here. Destiny has a subscription model in all but name, and pretends they don't. They want to have their cake and eat it too as a business model. I feel like had they explicitly called it a subscription model I for one would have been happier with some of my spending on the games.

Comparing each expansion release individually to the cost I paid for it isn't working in their favor, and only makes it harder for me to justify "the next expansion" if the perceived $/content is too low for the last couple. As opposed to the aggregate model I might use with a subscription service where maybe I didn't get all of that year's cost value in any single month, but cumulatively it was great.

Anyway, part of the driver of the current business model was supposedly Activision's fault in trying to CoD-ify the franchise, so maybe Bungie can course correct here somehow. (I'm a bit doubtful, personally, but will be watching.)
> antagonistic and costly to capitalism

That’s their point. The EU could be accurately considered an association of aspiring soviets.
I agree with you on everything except regular expressions. I would hope a system programmer would move beyond regular expressions towards safe, linear complexity binary parsers.

And I would also add fuzz-testing to your list.
In theory there should be 2³² possibilities for each although it might be trickier for a player to notice which one he or she is in.

The other thing is that two instances of the same game diverge quickly when the player doesn't take exactly the same actions, because monster generation and dungeon level generation will use the current state of the RNG. So although the RNG will produce the same series of values, the millionth RNG value for one player might be used for the success probability of the player's attempt to hit a kobold, and for another player might be used for some aspect of generating a new dungeon level.
Yeah, there are nice aspects of having static typing as well. Haskell was the first FP language I've used actually, and it was a lot of fun. Eventually I ended up working with Clojure professionally, and I don't find that one approach or the other is strictly better. There are pros and cons to each, and they're both productive.

I am speaking as someone who has lost about 75-100 pounds (no clue I was too ashamed to step on a scale) and kept it off for 10+ years. I can guarantee you that exercising more and eating less works even if it's not what anyone wants to hear.

That’s cool and does give the comprehensive approach some credence, but still feels like duplicated effort and the potential for outdated content (on both sides).

FWIW, I don’t think giving a more readable aspect to the official docs would be bad. It’s already got way more of that feel than it did in PHP 4, when it had more of an MSDN auto-generated parameter documentation feel. With the clear sections and code snippets I think both could be achieved with little extra effort.
Because 1) doctors are typically against this 2) when eating carbohydrates regular this is extremely extremely difficult today. I have discussed it many many times with my doctors and they have all talked about "starvation mode" and all of these things.

I currently intermittently fast very frequently and that has helped immensely with my weight. I have never done more than a 5 day fast, but even that much can do great things in combination with almost-0-carb.
Honestly I couldn't because they were from 2009/2010 and I'd have no idea where to find them now.

Caveat: I'm a VC, so I definitely have a horse in this race.

A few misc comments:

- VC is not for every company. Most VCs will be the first to tell you that: if you're not trying to build for a specific type/size of outcome, then VC funding is going to suck for you, and it's going to suck for the VC. It's not at all in a VC's best interest to invest in a company that has no desire to fit the VC model.

- I think the VC model itself is a great development from the last century. The fact that someone can raise millions (more than most people earn in a lifetime!) with an idea enables a lot of innovation that would be hard to nurture otherwise. But because the failure rate is high, VCs have to bet on outlier outcomes. That works for the VC but isn't always ideal for the companies they fund (because the founder is all-in but the VC can absorb many losses as long as at least one of their investments is a big winner).

- Many VCs add value and are great, but many other VCs subtract value and are awful. I've met people from both groups over the last 6 years in this job. It's not different than most jobs: there are amazing and awful teachers, politicians, engineers, doctors, etc.

- I love all of the new models coming up: revenue-based funding (SaaS capital), funding for ad-based acquisition (Clearbanc), Indie.vc, etc. The more types of investment models there are, the better off everyone will be. If the only companies that look for VC funding are the ones that require VC funding because no other funding model would work, then that's a good scenario because no one is wasting each other's time or looking for suboptimal funding options.
Golden days of what exactly? Nostalgia?
I didn't dismiss evo psych outright in that comment- I said it's often being used in the way psychoanalysis and theology were being used to naturalize the current social order. Though you do engage in the kinds of problems that I was trying to outline in this comment. That is to say, you're looking at social phenomena and then working backwards to make unfalsifiable claims that it may be beneficial using a lot of cultural intuition rather than hard data. While I don't find the implications of your feelings about humor particularly problematic, it's the same process that leads to more harmful ones.

As others have noted in the thread, it's just as possible that a predilection for humorous mates isn't such a deleterious adaptation that it kills the people who have it before they die. It may well serve no practical function, and it doesn't need to.

I'm definitely not saying it's not interesting to look at the ways that a penchant for humor manifests itself across species and cultures and whether there are any genetic markers that determine whether somebody is more or less interested in a humorous mate. At that point, it'd be interesting to see how those markers were propagated over time, when they developed, etc. Otherwise, though, this just does the same thing as psychoanalysis and theology- it takes the current order and asks how it fits the narrative you've already assumed.
IMHO, I think the audience is me. I can program (perl, java, c++). I know that php is easy but that there are many traps. I need a book to be able to develop quickly with sane practices. The official documentation contains too much old crust.
I can not give you more +1s. If your goal is to be healthy, and not necessarily be pretty, exercise is integral. You can be skinny and be unhealthy. You can be overweight and be heart-healthy, if you exercise.

I am obese according to the BMI, but I run 3 times a week and my resting heart rate grazes into the "athlete" territory. My doctor is very happy. But I don't look it, that's for sure. I do not like running. I see it like brushing my teeth. I don't like it, but I do it because I have to if I want to maintain my body.
