Pretty much no impact. I’ve done 18 mile runs after not eating for 36 hours and without consuming calories during the run. I feel tired but no more than usual. Also weight train fasted, no issues with performance.

The goal kind of is for the body to eat itself...eating body fat.

As for maintaining muscle mass, it seems as if keeping protein intake high while lifting heavy weights does the trick.

We ask developers to make it part of their workflow, but the project is shared across a 50+ engineers and few people do that. We enforce it via Jenkins pipeline on every commit that get's pushed to our internal BitBucket Git server. The Jenkins BitBucket plugin is used to enforce a successful build before pull requests can be merged. It works, but it can be a little frustrating at times to see an endless steam of alternating failed then passed builds because few people run the checks before pushing.

We use a combination of Python Invoke and the flake8 & pylint CLI commands. At some point we plan to reinvestigate our use of Python Invoke as it doesn't run tasks in parallel--we were new to Python when we started this project two years ago and didn't understand the limitations of the tools we were using. (I should say, Python Invoke has worked out well for most of our developer centric tasks.)

We run both Flake8 and Pylint as we started out with Flake8 and later tried to use Pylint. The workload to fix the code base was too much for us as most developers are QA people learning good software design and how to share a large code base with their "extra", "volunteer" time. We've been slowly turning on more Pylint checks and cleaning up the code base. When we did try to move more quickly, we were deluged with complains about the cognitive load it placed on people and backed off.

We did find some differences, but I don't remember what they were and couldn't comment on the significance.

Hire user here. IMO the product was functional (and cheap relative to the market) but not good.

There were a lot of UX quirks that made it feel like an outside consultancy slapped some “Material” design on a pre-built app and called it a day.

Really I would’ve liked to see a product like this be a meta-layer on top of GSuite productivity tools. ie Interview feedback forms should be a Forms form, the job board should be more like Sites.

From a strategic standpoint I had no idea why they pursued this particular product. The output here never seemed particularly well-aligned to any strategic motive.

"Monolithic" refers more to the way drivers and the kernel interact, i.e. if drivers live in the kernel address space, can read/write all kernel memory, call functions in other drivers, etc., then it's a monolithic kernel. If instead each driver is its own process with address space, and calls into the kernel via syscalls like any other process, then it is a microkernel.

"Modular" refers to linkage and overall design. The Linux kernel is mostly "statically" linked (there is DKMS but it isn't so widely used) with most major systems in the "kernel" itself, and something similar is true in the FreeBSD world.

Haiku, on the other hand, has a rather small (2.2MB binary on i386) kernel with no drivers built in at all (not even PCI); and loads all its drivers as relocateable shared-objects. This means unloading and reloading kernel modules at runtime (or boot) is very easy; so as long as you don't crash or hang the system, you can keep reloading drivers as much as you like without rebooting.

I know macOS also uses dynamic kernel modules, but I'm not as familiar with that system.

Right. The server knows a user by their identity key, not necessarily by the device that the key is on. Since keys are lightweight, synchronizing them across devices is akin to managing metadata.

Further, servers are free to keep private information on identities, with the understanding that identities are so flimsy that any single identity profile is not worth data-mining. This won't prevent tracking from truly big players, like Google, AWS, or Cloudflare, but it greatly cuts down on their ability.

This reminds me of moot's concept of prismatic identity.
The Science museum is a sad picture of extreme neglect and bad ideas these days. Just about every museum I've been to in the UK does it better, whether regional ones or national, even the smaller ones. Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, Bletcheley, Royal Arms Leeds, etc.

Bletcheley has a far, far better discussion about Turing and his influence, and far better displays of the Code Breaking work, along with the associated machines.

I last went to the Science Museum about 5 years ago and all the precision models were gone - some of which were so clever and detailed they should have been exhibits in their own right. Just a couple of hints that they once had extreme skill in model making are left. A good chunk of the multimedia and electronic displays and "experiences" were dysfunctional in some way, and a lot of the classic topics had exhibits that appeared simply worn out. The basement "scientific art exhibition" was about 5 token exhibits in a space the size of a football field, and a few dozen people finding somewhere quiet to sit and eat their sandwiches. The top floor (I think) was the for children interactive, sponsored experience. More was broken than not. The cafe with eye-watering prices seemed the most recent and best maintained exhibit.

I was so disappointed - so were the people we took, for whose benefit we made the trip at all. Manchester MSI is far better at being a science museum nowadays. Have to start to wonder if my extreme love of the place in the 60s-90s stems as much from nostalgia and rose-tinted specs. It's deeply sad, and should be criminal, that it's been allowed to decline that far - it was once a world renowned national asset.

> I may pass that on to my own children

A more palatable approach would be to treat you but not allow you to have children with the same condition. In the past this has been done in fairly barbaric ways but embryo selection offers a far more reasonable solution with minimal limitations on individual rights.

As for whether we should treat children and condemn them to a life of suffering, we already do this calculus with the elderly. Whether or not to perform a procedure depends on the chances of success and the number of quality years they can expect to have afterwards, procedures that will extend life by a year and result in a bedridden patient are routinely skipped, it's only applying the same to children that makes us squeamish.

My friends an ambulance driver and recently had to transport a blind, deaf and mentally retarded baby with a chronic heart condition. The question all the doctors and nurses in the hospital had to ask that night is whether they should treat the child if their heart fails. For me at least the answer is an obvious no in that case.
I'm sympathetic to your situation. However, after looking at your post history I see you were in a similar situation in Thailand during 2017. How did you get yourself out of that situation? Is it possible to follow a similar approach?

Some folks here enjoy reading it but Wolfman is often out of line when putting his comments and twists in. It also displays a creepy nature of wolfman to want to know very personal things.

We also find out that operating data over columns significantly increase the performance. Thus the inherience implement of DaPy is collecting data as columns.

However, what DaPy did is giving a more friendly APIs to the users who have limited knowledge about the data types. For example, most data scientists have limited knowledge about programming, and they just know how to analysis data step by steps. When they contact with Pandas, they feel that is hard to "talk" with pandas's APIs. Finally, they would go to R or Matlab, even SAS.

How many deaths from diarrheal diseases or pneumonia could be prevented with, say $4 Billion dollars?

Well, the people of Palo Alto, after a few tragic suicides-by-train, want the people of California to pay tens of billions of dollars to put Caltrain underground through their town.

> A 5’ 10” male’s optimal BMI means a body weight between 130lbs and 170lbs.

I've always found BMI to be a little suspect. I'm an average build 5'10'' and 170lbs at the upper range of optimal would make me look very, very lean (I've been there before and it is just not a flattering look), at 130lbs I would look down right skeletal and very unhealthy.

My personal optimal is 178lbs where I look and feel great, although according to the official numbers that would put me at the lower end of overweight which is just not right.

My understanding of BMI is that it's a pretty crude measure of health in that the numbers are correlated with (preventable?) deaths across an entire population and that's it. I wonder if there is some nuance of health that this single number doesn't capture too well.

Anyways, just my own observation :)

But...Satanists don't worship Satan.

The Church of Satan doesn’t believe in the devil. It doesn’t even recognise ‘Satan’ as a physical or spiritual being. As far as the Church is concerned, there is no such thing as heaven or hell.

And human sacrifice? Like, that kind of thing might happen in the Highest Orders of the Left-Hand Path, the Skull and Bones-type societies George W. Bush was a part of - so conspirators claim - like, I want to be expressly clear that suggesting Satanists make human sacrifices is akin to saying all Muslims are terrorists. Seriously. You're just discrediting a group of people who have enough troubles being recognized as valid to start.

I assure you, I have visited branches of the Church of Satan, and they are actually filled generally with very good people, whose philosophy is mostly that of self-love and not taking any bullshit, combined with the dogmatic practice of Ceremonial Magick.

It just wasn't my cup of tea. I have enjoyed more of what I've seen from Thelemic orders, which do not identify as Satanic.

Sexual predators are bad. I think we can all agree on that. But I have real problems with this author's position.

If you blacklist someone based on allegations someone posted on the Internet, how's the guy (or gal) supposed to clear their name if they didn't do it?

Has it never crossed your mind that there are a number of reasons a person might make or spread false allegations, especially against company leaders? And especially if there are people like you, who seem quite willing to believe any allegation, and inflict what punishment they can, if it comes up in a Google search?

Also, the author doesn't really understand how things like equity, board seats, and voting rights work. Those aren't things a company can just take away from its owners, even when those owners are revealed to be sexual predators. They're legal obligations the company's locked into. It's much easier for a company to fire its CEO than it is for the company to take away his (or anybody's) shares.

The company can't just take away a shareholder's stock even if that shareholder's, say, criminally convicted of raping dozens of people. That stock might be seized if it was the proceeds of the crime, or to pay things like fines, attorney's fees, court-ordered restitution to victims, etc. But that's not the company's call. Whether that happens -- whether it even can happen in a given situation -- is a decision that's made by the laws and courts. Which do have plenty of experience dealing with false allegations, and the know-how and resources to thoroughly investigate claims.

The legal system definitely has its own rough edges and doesn't always work perfectly. But it seems a whole lot fairer than just using whatever shows up when you Google someone's name when you're trying to answer a question like, "Okay, should we as a society try to ruin this guy's life?"

> I also do intermittent fasting basically daily (I only eat between 12-8).

I settled on this pattern years ago before I heard anything about it. It just seems right and natural for my body. I've never been into snacking and breakfast would make me feel ill most days (coffee gets a pass) so that naturally means I don't eat before lunch.

Though I wonder how much of that is our modern lifestyle. If I go to the gym early or do something physical, then I'll get hungry and actually want food. Usually I try to go to the gym around 10am or later, which I do without any food in my system and I feel fine. I'm not trying to gain mass though.

These kinds of fees should really be considered deceptive advertising.

Unless a fee is specifically required to be levied by the government or it represents something that the consumer can opt-out of, then it is part of the price and should be listed as such.

Hotels, airlines, and cable companies are the worst offenders, but it's only going to get worse unless we put a regulatory stop to it.
