Speaking personally, it's very easy to me to be able to completely separate the thought of food from having to be enjoyable. I don't drink water because it tastes good, I drink water because I know I need to drink water. I don't eat a plain sandwich at lunch because it tastes good, I eat that sandwich at lunch because I am hungry and know I need to eat. I don't need my food to taste good for me to eat it. If that has to do with habits or genes, I have no idea.

And that doesn't mean I don't get enjoyment from eating. I certainly enjoy an occasional nice steak or a few slices of cake every now and then, but I don't eat meat every meal despite it tasting enjoyable, just like I imagine you don't eat cake every meal despite it tasting wonderful,
I don't know if it's a new phenomenon. There has always been a big difference between popularity and merit. That's what voting is, a popularity contest. It's not uncommon for a good idea to be downvoted or ignored just because its coming from a different perspective.
In informal online writing, using full stops has become an optional choice, which means that using full stops requires that you choose to do so, which means that presumably you have something to communicate by that choice.

Generally speaking, using full stops is a sign that one is Very Serious; it's the textual equivalent of how, when someone is angry, they will close doors harder.

This is a case of, "It doesn't matter what side of the road you drive on, as long as everyone drives on the same side."

Your link asks repeatedly whether we've learned anything over the last 10+ years. One thing we've learned over the last 10+ years is that underspecified organically emergent "standards" result in a bunch of inconsistent behavior that confuses users.

I won't claim that AsciiDoc fixes the problem--it would need to be adopted more widely and it's not really trying to do the same thing as Markdown--it's not trying to make something that's both readable as plain text and generatable into rich text. But simply focusing on some aesthetic qualities of the markup shows you aren't really understanding the problem with Markdown.

Here is a link to a National Geographic article that goes a bit further with the story including showing a map of the general area of the archaeological site. It also includes a photo of the actual dig site as seen from a high point on the canyon downstream. As you can see from the photo, the site is right on the river at the mouth of the canyon that runs roughly south out of Cooper's Ferry to the river.

I don't know why CNN didn't link any actual published material about the site, choosing instead to link to random unrelated stuff.

I visited this site back in 2011 while rafting the Salmon with my family. Back then they were carefully sifting, cataloging, etc., all the things they were finding. They had a pretty enthusiastic group of students carefully excavating.

This is a photo I took while we toured the site. Our guide knew the river and everyone working on it and made arrangements for us to have a brief visit. Wapiti River Guides out of Riggins, Idaho.

The site that others have mentioned in Texas is actually very near our old family land in Central Texas. You never had any trouble collecting arrowheads or spearheads in that area. Limestone outcrops with extensive chert nodules likely made it a popular place for early humans to visit and fashion tools and that chert was widely traded elsewhere.
Thank you for your knowledgeable reply. I must admit it's not something I considered!

I dunno! Adding symbols to convey skin tones seems more universally useful than special shapes for a customizable terminal prompt. Don’t you think?

The former strikes me as something nearly everyone is familiar with, while the latter is something more specifically appealing to technical users. It strikes me as a bit politicized to be prioritizing terminal themes over being able to express skin tone, don’t you think?
Not as ironic as you'd think[1].

I used to document things in case someone in the future might care. I'm glad I stopped.
Sure, but honestly from where I'm sitting, it feels like magic. I'm sure the result can be completely explained with science but I'm not going to sit down and work it all out. I just care that I'm a healthy weight again and that I found a method of healthy living that I can stick to.
There's a documentary called "The Science of Fasting" that I found very interesting. Apparently, they've been studying it for health benefits going back decades in the former USSR. https://www.amazon.com/Science-Fasting-Sylvie-Gilman/dp/B075...
I quite agree, as I've pointed out elsewhere although the bicycle is fastest away it's a short-lived advantage (I'm not discussion racing starts, so it's assumed all vehicles are starting from idle and reacting to e.g. lights changing).

In a racing start, a well-driven torquey car (like the Veyron) will also launch faster than a motorbike - at least to start with. Once the speed increases, the acceleration drops and the motorbike can then use its superior power-to-weight ratio (which it can't fully use off the line). Eventually - once speeds are well into triple digits - a fast-enough car starts to catch up with the motorbike again (due to better aerodynamics).

What I’ve never been able to get a clear answer to is: how do I troubleshoot an Oauth workflow? I set up all the Oauth stuff on my end just as the documentation says, and the Google server (for example) returns an error. Now what? They don’t let me see their logs. The error message isn’t descriptive enough to know what to change. Google isn’t running an open source server where I can just spin up an instance myself to try it. The documentation seems to be out of date, or otherwise doesn’t match what I’m seeing.

This is everything I hate about using remote APIs, squared. I’ve never been able to make even the simplest example work.
Maybe we can get to some happy medium where it's a practical level of pressure and cooling, not quite room temperature but still something we can use.

That is part of a real convention in active use, influenced by the medium of text on phones and computers. People replace full stops with newlines/message breaks, and over time they start to repurpose the now-unused punctuation for emphasis.

It's not surprising that new linguistic conventions cause confusion, but that doesn't make them something to deride.

> > Also, there is no calorie reduction

> Sure there is, that's why you lost so much weight.

It's important to appreciate there's more nuance than simply calories eaten vs. calories expended.

Some calories are more bioavailable than others. The OP described eliminating refined carbs and sugars, and adding substantial sources of dietary fiber. The effect of this is switching from quickly absorbed (and likely stored) calories to slower to digest, less available sources.

It's entirely possible for sugars locked up in a web of dietary fiber (i.e. fruit) to pass through the small colon and be consumed by bacteria in the large colon producing flatulence, or pass through entirely. If that same sugar was consumed in more accessible form, as with a cup of coffee, it would entirely be available to the person at a fast rate, accompanied by an insulin response making the energy likely to be stored as fat.

Understanding this is key to appreciating how one could even increase their oral caloric consumption and still be losing weight, all else the same. Just because it goes down the hatch doesn't mean 100% of those calories reach the bloodstream. What you eat matters a great deal, both in terms of availability and hormonal response.

These all seem like bloated ways to perform a simple function: communicating an idea (software architecture) to an intended audience (usually software developers).

What irks me about this article the most is that it goes into documentation frameworks while skipping the fundamentals such as written exposition.

There is more I could say about this, but I always take the approach of minimising cognitive load on the reader by using diagrams with minimal conventions (and any not immediately obvious is explained) with an accompanying explanation. And usually a written exposition at varying levels of the architecture.

I wouldn't describe implementation details (code structure) unless it has some relevance to the architecture such as a plugin system, but even then - I would relegate the implementation details to a separate document divorced from the architecture.
Downvoting costs newcomers. For old timers, it's basically free.

I've been on SO more-or-less since the beginning. I rarely log in, probably haven't in over a year, but I know that, every time I do, my karma's taken another big jump. I was lucky enough to get in early on and get in a few good questions and answers on some thorny technical issues, and now I just keep on getting karma for free because some fixed percentage of people who run into these problems will get sent to my SO answer on Google, and some fixed percentage of those will upvote. Sometimes I even get double points when I answered my own question.

So, insofar as I'm getting my karma for free, I don't value it much, and downvoting costs me basically nothing. I probably wouldn't start noticing the price unless the cost of a single downvote were at least 1% of my current karma.

There's also psychological research (IIRC) that shows that those who believe in the paranormal will likely think they've experienced something that matches their beliefs (UFOs exist), and skeptics (or rationalist, or whatever word you prefer), never experience anything they would describe as paranormal.

Essentially the same thing NDT said.
Not that I'm saying those are particularly useful possibilities to be aware of. To the contrary, my point is that the self, despite being a fiction, is generally too useful to see past.
> When they are drawn together in an orbit via gravity, this would seem to lower their entropy (a smaller number of possible microstates required to define their macrostate).

What do you mean by macrostate? If the macrostate is related to the geometry of the asteroids considered as solid bodies (and the changes in their positions and orientations) I don't see why the entropy would be lower.
The zoning board missed the opportunity to force turquoise paint on the drive-thru. Yellow just completely ruins the local character.
I'm glad to see that HN as a whole sees flaws in SO. I've avoided using SO as much as possible for years now and it seems like other people are coming to the same conclusions as I did. Between the "why would you want to do this?" answers and the downvoting beginner's questions and the "THIS IS A DUPLICATE" answers when the "duplicate" question is totally different and the "deleted as off-topic" on every interesting question, I find it really painful to support the site at all. The site has so much potential, but I find it less and less useful these days to the point where I can't justify ever checking the site out.

The article demonstrates clearly and objectively that the person was denied entry after an image was found on his phone. That’s of interest to anyone with a phone who travels to the US.

I’m personally horrified that dubiously educated, low-wage bureaucrat thugs can cancel granted visas based on dubious evidence and personal bias. Even if you can’t “prove” that the image was the reason for the denial here, it’s repulsive that it’s a possibility.
Also, as they draw in together in their orbit, they speed up.

Your comment implies that all food is more or less equal, which doesn't seem to be the case. Couldn't the OP's change in "energy" reflect the reduced intake of hormones and other unhealthy additives that are present in the supply chain for most meats and other processed foods?

In the "The importance of deterministic builds" section they write:

> Security. Modifying binaries instead of the upstream source code can make the changes invisible for the original authors. This can be fatal in safety-critical environments such as medical, aerospace and automotive. Promising identical results for given inputs allows third parties to come to a consensus on a correct result.

I don't understand this argument, or rather what deterministic builds have to do with this. Isn't modifying the binary instead of the source just a very bad idea in a high stakes scenario?

From my perspective it's about balance. I was completely vegan for about 2 years, and now I'd call myself a mostly-vegetarian. I'm not dogmatic about it, I just think that if we eat less meat it's probably better -- for us, for the environment, and for the horrible treatment of most factory-farmed animals.

Back to what I was saying about balance -- you're right: steak is fairly tasty, but so are lots of other things that I probably don't need to eat all that often. If I ate exclusively things that are as tasty as possible I'd enjoy them less. So now if I'm in a special situation I'll maybe order something with some meat -- but it's the exception rather than the rule.
Telltale Games Seems to Be Rising from the Dead
Not the GP, but I think that the optimizations that lead each locality to have a distinct look came from local minima and maxima (e.g. availability of building materials, local construction practices, function of the building, desire to please the local population, as well as profit maximization), while the average McDonald's, as a for-instance of corporate design, comes from much more global minima and maxima. It's not that the builders of older buildings didn't consider profit, it's that they didn't have Excel-wielding MBA's optimizing a global supply chain to control every aspect of the average building's construction.

A tale of caution for those would-be self hosters: a friend of mine had a Linux system running mail operations and somehow got ransomwared (theory is via supermicro IPMI). All the filesystems were encrypted and the console login banner was changed to an attacker controlled advertisement to a TOR address for getting the system unlocked. He didn't pay. Logs show there was no data ex-filtration. But as usual, his backups were a couple months old so he lost a significant chunk of his email (he used web interface/imap and I don't think he cached his email locally).

I felt vindicated, giving up self-hosting of email and pushing it towards a third party provider because I was concerned about backup/disaster recovery scenarios. When something fundamentally shakes up your life - you might not have the ability to function well and managing a mail server is a stress you could live without.
> at the end of the day a calorie is a calorie

No, calories vary massively. If someone ate 2000 calories of vegetables each day and someone else ate 2000 calories of sugar there would be a huge amount of difference between their nutrition.

> The biggest problem people have is overeating, bottom line

Sorry to say that I disagree with this too. The body does a great job of negating over-eating provided the food eaten is of the right types, it is just pushed back out as waste.

Going back to the vegetable example, you could eat several kg of green vegetables every day and continue to lose weight.
