Eh. the articles argument appears to be that even though nutritionists, physicists, and dieters all agree that eating fewer calories than you expend causes weight loss, it isn't easy for a variety of factors. No shit. The thing is, it is the simplest expression of what needs to happen, and there is no getting around it.

I was once well north of the weight of the subject in the article and have since shed about half of it and kept it off for years. I've been through all the games your brain and body play to try and get you to eat more, and all the fad diets out there sound to me exactly like those games. It's nice to believe you don't have to suffer to reach your goals, but it isn't true and anyone telling you otherwise is trying to sell you something.

>> Further, if there is any measurable value to much art other than how much someone pays for it?

Well, materials cost money, and then there's the time spent producing the work of art. Assuming each artist has her own hourly wage (think minimum wage for a no-name artist), there's your perfectly measurable value of any artwork.

https://binnedart.com are trying to do something along these lines.
Well, Seymour, I made it. Despite your directions.

Intermittent fasting changed my life. I've quit coffee, eat way healthier and generally feel better & have a uplifted outlook on life. I'd definitely recommend the Zero app. I do the 13 hour fast but sometimes will go up to 15-16-17 hours whenever possible. Also don't forget to take a cheat day every now and then!

The problem is that even with a professional setup you should expect about +/-3dB tolerances.

Since there’s no expectation of that uncertainty being systematic, taking a relative change pushes your error bars +3dB.

That 6dB drop is under the error bars, so it’s pretty meaningless, and that’s with a professional setup.

In other words, there’s no expectation that the numbers you’ll get from these will translate into anything useful, at most you have a ‘hotspot’ detector.
Do you not find problems in simulation? I used to do modeling in Ansys and CST Microwave Studio, and found them to be fairly accurate.
If you're fasting, you learn to keep yourself well hydrated. I put a little lite salt in whatever I'm drinking in the morning. If you're not well hydrated and your electrolytes are low, you get fatigued during the day (or at least I do).

I fast for 23 hours every day, eating one larger than normal meal in the evenings.

The Mismeasure of Minds: IQ, Neuroplasticity, and Reassessing the Bell Curve
It depends in part on the cost/duration required to scale reactor power up and down. It's apparently being marketed (at least per reading of this article) as a supplement for when the solar/wind grid is inadequate. That puts it in competition with cached storage (batteries etc), and gas-fired peaker plants as well. And there's a lot of uncertainty here in the market, for multibillion dollar capital investments on low-margin regulated utilities. So it'll be interesting to see what the niche is.

That said, it's still a damn sight better than the usual rounds of how super-expensive old-style light water plants are just fine, or how magic thorium breeders will save us even though no one has built one for 50 years, or other flavors of condescension at the naive treehuggers who are going to ruin everything with their technophobia.
I observed the whole scenario for the last days: For me it looks clear that the US spygov along with NAS, Mossad and EU UK have overtaken the security infrastructure on TOR net. Since 1-2 years, they control mozilla (firefox), oracle (java) and some other devs. to flaw security sensitive code. And now, this simple trick with the certificate infrastructure and the pushing of mozilla to only signed code they have compromised some 10mio. users worldwide and shown their power to kill torbrowser security with a simple wrong certificate. They have killed the most important security component - noscript - in many browsers. And if u look around .... NOBODY gives some clear information: just we make a fix and wait for next time ....
It looks like the killing of truescrypt some years ago! With no real reason a worldclass security and crypto system was shut down by US LEA agents.
With this action taken by US agencies it is clear that they are on the way to compromise all worldwide security software to get control on. NEVER EVER TRUST ANY US ORGANUSATION or US based SOFTWARE SYSTEM!
Hi! Dev/maker here,

This app helps you track time spent across apps and virtual desktops on your Mac and is free in the store today. [0]

I'd be happy to answer any questions about the making of the app or macOS/AppKit development in general. This took about 12 months to complete, was my first Swift app (been programming other stuff, mostly web, for like 8 years) and originally started as a project focused solely on adding a unique icon for each virtual desktop (those things that Macs let you create in Mission Control, they call them Spaces). The project veered toward stats (which have way more mainstream appeal) about half way in -- so the end result is app stats which have rich context (which virtual desktop you were in you used them).

The business model has changed multiple times and landed on freemium via the App Store. Originally it was to be delivered outside the store, then it was going to have free trial, then, finally, freemium.

Good feedback. Chromium blog content varies from product announcements to technical summaries. We did link to this article in the Chromium blog:

which does go into a good deal of technical detail. A challenge is that even experienced web developers didn't know much about SameSite prior to this announcement.
If Kyle Bass is right about China's twin deficit:

If oil prices stay above $60 OR the U.S. keeps tariffs on China OR there is a global slowdown:

Chinese (and especially Hong Kong) real estate is in for a really bad time.

I want to point out, this isn't doom and gloom. Although China has a 90%! home ownership rate, prices could collapse 90% (they won't), and it would only affect speculators and people who bought their first home in the last 5 years (almost no one. No ordinary person can afford a first home).

Homomorphic cryptography allows you to track your vote without revealing the vote content (who you votes for), but at the same time vote tallying is possible on the encrypted votes in a process that is verifiable.

That's not at all how it works. Zimbabwe and Venezuela's federal governments claimed their currencies were worth something until they were blue in the face.

It's worth something because the people using it feel it's worth something, and that's true for non-fiat currencies as well. Bitcoin and gold are non-fiat, but still heavily depend on demand to determine their value.

I once went on a very low carb diet, apparently the brain needs to burn glucose. Mentally I did feel dumb / dull / numb after a while on it. Perhaps the same way I'd feel in a stuffy room for an extended period of time.

This is one of the things that pisses me off so much about the rallying against trump being a racist or a xenophobe. Realistically the man's just implementing a strategy to follow a law. Meanwhile the GMs of the world continue to use and abuse H1Bs and no one bats a fucking eye.
My favorite trick in this vein, now I believe defunct, is "doctors recommend starting your morning with a bowl of cereal".

The trick to that, of course, is the ambiguity of recommend'. You can ask a dozen doctors if a bowl of cereal with fresh fruit is healthier than nothing at all, or a bowl of plain oatmeal; if they say yes then they "recommend cereal". The same trick still works great for things like toothpaste, where a brand might be dentist-recommended not relative to the competition but to baking soda or plain water.

The underlying principle is that even if the silicon isn't strictly faster, you can shove a dumb amount of data through with the right architecture. And efficient training with data parallelism means that it's a worthwhile strategy.
There might as well be a preference for right-handed preference, if someone can convince enough people for it to be the law.

As of current, that is what the congress prefer. They made the law. Indirectly it was the american public preference because it is the representative of american people.

Interesting links, thanks! So it's mostly an IR lamp, an IR sensor with an optical filter and the air to test in between. I don't understand from the article how long the waveguide actually is. Is this just a cylinder that is a few mm long bent around a corner, or is this some hollow tube much longer wound around the center of the sensor many times?
Besides the PR-approved statements here and there that don't add much to the meat of the topic, one should admire AWS' ability to innovate and add new features and services at this incredible pace.

Right now, in 2019, I'd say that most IT organizations can benefit from "some" use of AWS, at least, and that for certain use cases going close to 100% on AWS might also be beneficial, when you take into account the "human" costs.

The amount of R&D and investments that AWS does makes their products more and more compelling, comparatively to other products/services in the market (e.g. private servers).

I just wish that there would be less cool-aid drinking and more practical considerations when comparing prices between public and private cloud. I guess it will come over time.

(disclaimer: worked at AWS from 2008 to 2014).
You have to take the long view. Sure, its a one day race, but if you make a deal and back out of it, the rest of the peleton is going to hear about that and you aren't as likely to get one in the next race.

Secondly, coming in 2nd in the National Championship race is still a huge deal. Far better than coming in 122nd, and enough to get you attention, and possibly a professional deal. There are real reasons to make a deal for 2nd.

'Software delivered to Boeing' now blamed for 737 MAX warning fiasco
> Yesterday I carried my CO2 monitor around to various meetings in different places (much to the amusement of those with whom I was meeting). Every place I checked was at least 200 ppm higher than outside. In one office, two guys are working in a room that read over 1,500 ppm. I wonder if they would be more productive with proper ventilation.

That's worrying. Did you let them know? What was their reaction?

Nearly One in Two Americans Takes Prescription Drugs
I've posted here a few times, but from what I can see at this point, these things (which I use on a daily basis and are the major reasons why I went with Nest):

* Can't get Nest camera or Nest doorbell video or images programmatically (without asking a google home device directly). This was the main reason why I sold my Ring and bought a Nest, since Ring didn't allow real time video streaming)

* Can't programmatically set or get the nest thermostat temperature, humidity, or home/away status (again, without asking a google assistant device directly).

* I can't get notifications of status changes any more. No more API access to things like notifications when someone rings the doorbell, or a camera sees a person.

* I don't know for sure, but from what I can see this kills any and all Alexa integration.

* And similarly, unless samsung has been blessed by google specifically, SmartThings integrations will go away.

There aren't any real improvements since the Nest products were already available from the google assistant system. And while you can argue many of the new-ish features (like being able to ask the google assistant screen devices to see the camera or get notifications on google home devices for doorbell rings) are improvements since they didn't really use the previous "works with nest" APIs, it's basically trading the ability for anyone to use those APIs, to only google being able to use them and give those abilities out to specific players they allow.

I think the rebranding of Intellij IDEA as Android Studio in 2013 was a good clue of where Google's long term plans were pointed.
Interesting note -- Amazon does not allow you to bid for a competitor's brand name, nor does it allow you to use your competitor's brand name as a keyword.

In my experience, you can try, but you'll get 0 impressions. Not sure how this works for very generic brand names though (e.g. "band-aid")
This debate can get out of hand, but the Android eco system and its developers will benefit immensely if Swift is adopted instead of Kotlin - it enables devs to share code.
Considering the effort involved in building all this, the $12 annual cost for the domain name is probably insignificant. And static hosting is free.

It mostly do not matter. The main goal for automating something is rarely to save time nowadays (the low hanging fruit are much rarer). It is to document procedures, prevent defects, or to test before running.
PICO-8 is a "fantasy console" with an arbitrary limitation to imitate the real world console in the past century. While it uses Lua as a scripting language, it comes with very severe memory (<2MB) and code size (<8K tokens) limitation so that it is actually akin to programming in slightly more powerful BASIC and PEEK and POKE (yes they are actual names).

To elaborate what happens when the buffer overflows... The official README explains that map (normally sprites) starts at 0x2000 and some other data starts at 0x3000. Therefore it will start overflowing other data, and depending on what you expect in those area, it may or may not break the game. The entirety of PICO-8 is intentionally constructed in this way to give its look and feel.
I actually agree with you. Its just edgy teenagers. But god damn is it infuriating to get the same inhuman treatment time after time.
So, I'm the 'database guy' and I come in when the DB is on fire. I find the bad query(ies) and tell the application developer they need to do it another way. (And suggest ways)

Then they tell me, it's too hard / impossible to do something else, and that's after it took them two weeks to figure out how the query is formed.

For these applications, it's best to ensure their DB is isolated from other DB needs and let the tire fire burn as a signal to others, because I can help a lot with performance, but adding indexes can only help so much.

When I've had similar experiences with people running bad queries from strings, it's a lot easier to get traction on fixes. Even when they think my suggestions are crazy (nobody likes it when I suggest a client side join, however, sometimes it's significantly faster)

I mean so? There are plenty of video games that are pro America. It's still OK to be pro China even in the face of their abhorrent social policies. Would you rather we just cut off all recognition that China exists or something? Don't think that's gonna help.
I monitored the CO2 in my bedroom every second for three months and I found results similar to you. If I was sitting right next to the sensor in the evening it would go up to about 1900 ppm. Cracking open the window for an hour or so eventually brought things down to the 500ppm range.

What was interesting is how fast the ppm increases when someone enters the room. I would plot the data and see a blip on the graph when I entered. It was within seconds of entering.
You are correct that the March 31 figures do not include the IPO proceeds. If you take a look at the Q1'19 supplemental deck that Lyft released with their earnings, you will find a cash reconciliation as if their IPO had occurred on the last day of the quarter.
