I think the dosage is important. Ask someone in a psych ward in a hospital how often they get patients with psychosis from weed alone. Yes, there are more deadly drugs, but it is naive to believe there aren't any significant risks and repercussions.

Seems factless. Some of the CEOs I've encountered like this DO heavily do that. So much so they open new offices in the cities where they have homes.

Also fair to mention that it's not as much of a time savings too but convenience they can afford. But they mainly by time on NetJets, and not the jet.
I played HF for the first time last year and I found the intro sequence a bore. Like, yeah, it has not aged gracefully (unlike the gunfights of the game, which were still cool), but still I don't understand why it's praised to high heaven
Maybe it's obvious and straightforward enough that other people have come up with the same idea, tried it and not found it to be worth the effort?
We tried that about a year or two ago with `ansible-docker`. At the time it didn't leverage the docker cache so it was quite slow. Looks like that got replaced with `ansible-bender` which according to the readme does use the docker cache!

Thanks for mentioning this, will definitely have to give this another go.
You know that schemes to address climate change will follow the same formula.

Most of it will be feel good low impact measures and policies that mostly are a way for people on the inside to make money.
Cleaner burn?
Dr. Jason Fung (he is on youtube) found that his patients who fasted during Ramadan had improvements to their metabolic health. After Ramadan, he would have to adjust their meds. This evolved in to him advocating fasting for his diabetic patients and has reversed people's diabetes. Bottom line is that it really works and gets results...and it is easy for people to follow.
So, an enemy might have just walked into an animal?

Possibly! They normally take flight when they notice a human nearby[1] but as the player you can certainly bump into them if you sneak up. And I think they just fall over and die if you do that.

The other claim in the article that's clearly untrue is the one about not hearing a line of dialogue twice. The idle dialog between NPCs definitely repeats fairly soon, sometimes within a minute or so. So I get the impression the author isn't particularly familiar with games and is quite happy to parrot some of the publisher's claims or perhaps they found some pre-release interviews where some of this was mentioned.

[1] As they should! Contrary to popular belief, the vast majority of wild mammals and birds in Africa, including predators, will be on alert it if they spot a human nearby and leg it if they get close. Safaris are only a thing because cars/safari trucks haven't been hunting or retaliating against predators for 99.9% of the last 100000+ years, and most animals can't distinguish the human figures/faces inside vehicles. This is another thing Far Cry 2 got right versus the subsequent Far Cry games, which are just crawling with highly aggressive predators and where the herbivores are essentially tame.
New York's high-rise jails: what could go wrong?
Initially, the Tesla Model 3 was capable of swapping its battery quickly. IIRC it had the assistance of some sort of hydraulic lift (there's a Musk demo on youtube, I'm sure). The car lost this capability when they added the armored skidpad needed to protect against road debris puncturing the battery.

Here's my favorite version of the same idea; it's a bit more immersive.

What is odd is that they don't attack humans.

Never in wild, only in captivity (not surprising though give amount abuse they get in captivity).
Then you can rent a war, a perfectly viable solution for a problem people might have one every few years.
AFAIK both of these have been experimented with, though without much ultimate success.

For what it's worth, both ideas are represented by weapons in the old Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook so they must have been in the zeitgeist someplace:

But those 2 examples aren't doing the same thing.

My Promise.all example will fire off the getFoos, getBars, and getBazs requests all at the same time, and then do things at different moments with the results in some cases. Yours will do them serially like this:

getFoos -> wait for it to resolve -> run getBars -> wait for it to resolve -> run getBazs -> wait for it to resolve -> run doStuff

And if individually handled errors is what you are after ala go, then this also does it while preserving the parallelism:

async function doStuff() {
// Fetch things concurrently
const [
foos,
bars,
bazs,
] = await Promise.all([
getFoos().catch((err) => {
// handle only the error in getFoos
}),
getBars().catch((err) => {
// handle only the error in getBars
}),
getBazs().catch((err) => {
// handle only the error in getBazs
}),
]);
// Do stuff with them...
}

And I'm not suggesting we always use promises in every area, but that for some things they are the perfect tool for the job. There are some things that promises are really bad at that callbacks do really well. One example is progress systems.

A callback can be called multiple times over the course of an async call with percentage it's completed every call. A promise is one-and-done, and that's a big issue in many areas. But that's why callbacks aren't really "deprecated" as much as they are relegated to doing what they do best, while leaving things that Promises and async/await do best to them.
> If it can be recycled at all, it will not be economically effective to do so.

That's quite ridiculous.

The article would have been better without the last example. It doesn't clarify much and it's not something that anyone should ever write.
If you're in the first world then chances are you've already 2000+ calories today and don't really need more. You're hungry before bed because your blood sugar is falling, and all those extra calories will do is push you over the limit for the day, aka extra calories lead to fat.
Am I operating within my zone of genius?
IIRC consciousness is about a regime of brainwaves, while memories (and therefore "continuity" of consciousness) are about the actual neuronal connections, and so "survive" sleep ? (Though sleep is also known to be used to integrate new memories, so in that sense a (slightly) different person wakes up each time.)
Whatever. (Great practices those, being stuck in a decade old JVM and requiring root to build! But well, whatever.)

If I can not install on Debian in a clean way, I will just try to avoid using the software (and everything that comes on the ecosystem). It may be unavoidable, but if there is an alternative, it will be preferred. If one alternative appears after I am dealing with it for some time, it is still preferred (because the work with out of distro software never ends).
> The post misleads readers into thinking that JVM runs the GC before exit. It does not.

Yes, the article is incorrect about this. We’ll make sure it gets fixed.

These numbers are quite interesting. Thanks for doing this analysis!
I half agree with you, and am chuckling a little bit about the "very masculine hunting and zombie-defending skills" part, but... I'd like to offer some perspective.

I'm 36 and work on a pretty broad set of consulting projects: some schematic/PCB/mechanical design, firmware, some lower-level desktop/server code, and up and up to web/mobile apps. "Full full stack" if you will.

I live in a "major" Canadian city (although not in the top 15 by population), and I also own two wonderful properties about an hour out of town in a quite rural area. One is a cabin on a lake, and the other is a church from the 1910s. Sometimes I head out to one of these places to do the "Deep Work" thing, distraction-free, and sometimes it's to take time off, but end up getting an emergency call from a client. In either case, my Internet connectivity is limited to tethering, and depending on a few factors, that can either work fantastically well or poorly.

Going from the lowest-level to the highest-level projects, there's a very clearly declining probability of the project being able to build during a low-connectivity event. The embedded stuff pretty much always works just fine (it's a Makefile, or CMake). The C desktop/server stuff? Always works fine (any dependencies were pre-installed). Python/Ruby/Elixir web backend projects usually go OK, although I've occasionally ran into issues where the package manager wants to check for updates. Node front-end builds sometimes start to fall apart, and Android (via Android Studio) often refuse to build at all! (Some kind of weird Maven/Gradle thing that needs to go out and check something, even though the dependencies have all been pre-installed...)

It's extraordinarily frustrating when you can't change a line of code and hit "Build" to test a change locally. Everything's already present on the machine! It worked just fine 5 minutes ago!

To your prepper comment, and the previous comments about infrastructure, there's a significant population of the world that doesn't have 100% reliable infrastructure, even in Canada and the US. The tools we have used to work just fine in that environment, but are getting progressively worse.
The difference being that my links have to do with damage C keeps bringing into IT and the respective monetary losses.

It also ruins your social life and relationships :)

If you're washing your dishes anyway, there's no marginal harm.
As someone who has worked hard to lose and keep off about half my bodyweight, I believe I've got a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't and, frankly, it really irks me that people advise these kinds of tactics. Time restriction alone is not sufficient. I can easily (very, very easily) down 10k Calories in under an hour. By some delusional people's metric, that's a 23 hour fasting period and should work great. I can assure you from experience that it does not result in weight loss.

This sort of advice is, at best, a highly abstracted trick for just plain eating fewer calories. You're better off just tracking the calories directly, especially if you're a food addict.

Edit: To everyone disagreeing, find me a single study that shows anyone gaining weight on a long term caloric deficit. For comparison, here's a nutrition professor losing 27lbs eating Twinkies at a caloric deficit: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/...
id argue that giving your body food (and sugar) all of the time is a much bigger risk that has harmful long term effects on your body.
Apart from DNS, the destination address on each packet leaks a lot of information about which online properties you are accessing. A determined attacker may even be able to figure out exactly which webpage you are on, based on the size of the packets and the order in which you connect to various addresses. Using a good VPN helps obfuscate a lot of that metadata.

Whether you can actually trust an HTTPS site or an IMAP connection when you're in a hotel in China is another problem that a VPN can solve. The CA infrastructure is ridiculously fragile, especially now that HPKP is dead in the water.
Palestinians and Muslims are distinct groups.
"most domestic terrorism is perpetrated by white Christians who buy into far-right ideology"

This isn't true and has been debunked multiple times. A person that happens to be Christian and commits an act of terrorism is completely different than one that commits an act of terrorism in the name of Islam.

If you want to look at mass shootings, there are more gang-related mass shootings of 3 or more people than any other kind. This is conveniently left out to create a nice narrative that you describe.

Even if you left the above out, there are still very few white/Christian right-leaning acts of Domestic Terrorism. Much less per/capita, number of people killed, and overall totals than other groups.

If you pay attention to the press, if it is a white person that did the shooting, they are immediately demonized as a right-leaning white-nationalist before anybody knows the true facts.

This latest case of the navy base shooting? They need to investigate, even through there is plenty of evidence already of the contrary.

"sympathies lie with white supremacists, dominionists, and fascists"

Yeah, well, I deal in reality, not fantasy. White supremacists are a joke and few and far between.

I honestly have never met anyone in person like this. However, I've met plenty of hard-left antifa Fascists. Especially on college campuses that have no problem with violence.
AFAIK they melt the cans before reusing, so all the inner plastic is burned.
Sure that can happen. Much like it can happen that one has to detour to refuel the car. It's a failure at planning and the risk is bigger with electric cars due to the shorter range and longer refueling times. Weirdly the article treated it as the normal case. As if everybody will want to recharge at the most inopportune time.
Electromagnetic waves travel at essentially the speed of light. The speed of light is roughly 300km per millisecond. So if they are 550km up, that’s roughly 4ms round trip. Even with horrible inefficiency, it won’t likely increase that by 10x.

Right, those studies can tell us about heritability, but cannot distinguish between common environment and genetics.
hello, just wanted to comment this feels really relatable. i come out of a period of a lot of stress which in the end put me in a state like which you describe. full of ideas but no mojo to execute any of them, just scrolling through feeds, reading stuff, learning ,but not applying.

For me, trying to focus to get peace in my life and stress myself out less is helping after a long time, a psychologist can definitely help here, and looking back on this period of my life i wish sooner i would have spoken to one..

For me the fear of failure in the end, which i did suspect ,was not the cause but a symptom of another issue i had which was causing a lot of stress. this stress n turn caused fears and other things to creep into my mind.

All the best to u man, hope you find yourself again. Know it's perfectly normal for any human to go through such periods in their life. it's normal :) don't worry, and if you feel it will help don't hesitate to seek professional opinions / advice / help, generally it will help a lot in getting things straightened up in your life faster than on your own energy.
Yup
Oops - maybe its Adventure. I'll ask him this afternoon.
I've forgotten the details, but I believe the described pattern is characteristic of some metabolic disorders. Considering that, I'd recommend talking to a doctor before going straight to fasting.
It's pretty shitty in US depending on the airport. For example, I waste about an hour after arriving at O'Hare in Chicago. Since it's so big it takes a while to taxi to gate and get your bags. I haven't had that bad of an experience elsewhere in the US except maybe Dulles in Washington, DC suburbs.
I understand that it's going to be very difficult, and it's going to take years, but that's no reason to not do it.

Gasoline dispensing is extremely complicated - what you really mean is that the complexity is just hidden from you and has been optimized on for decades.

Next time you fill your car with ~15 gallons (60L), have a think about how many gallons of diesel must have been burnt to get that gas you're pumping. Have a think about all the machinery involved in making it, transporting it and then you pumping it. Trucks, oil tankers, more trucks, pumps, etc.

Have a think about how differently we would think if we had to physically carry our own 15 gallons of carcinogenic explosive liquid every time we wanted to enable us to drive ~350 (550km) miles.

The system we have works very well, but it's terrible in every way.
Yes. Aside from increasing odds of acid reflux, the digestive process raises core body temperature. Typically body temperature must go down for optimal sleep.
> Determine how much calories you get to eat a day to not gain weight. Not to loose weight but also not gaining weight. Once you are capable to hold your weight and understand what gets you how many calories, you reduce.

So you mean calorie counting? This sounds easy, but in my experience it's very difficult to be compliant. You actually have to weigh your food and keep a record of what you're eating. And how do you do this when, for instance, you're someone's dinner guest and they've done the cooking? It's not impossible but it's a lot of work.

> you never learned to stick to your sustaining energy level when eating, you will go right back up again once you stop with something like intermittent fasting. Or do you really want to do that for the rest of your life?

I will tell you how it works for me. In general I get by with "intuitive eating" - in other words I just eat what I want, with some loose guard-rails in place, like I try to eat mostly whole-foods I cook for myself, and I try not to snack between meals.

I also track my weight daily, and when I see it start to increase beyond some normal fluctuations - which might happen, for example, during the holidays, or when I've been having more work lunches out than usual - I do intermittent fasting (essentially skipping breakfast) for a couple weeks to get things under control. This has been a very effective strategy for me for a few years now, and it doesn't take any significant effort or book-keeping.

Moreover, fasting is something which has been a cultural practice across the globe since the beginning of time. Many religions include ritualized fasting as a part of their practice, and I have heard Hindu people talk about taking a day off eating "to balance the body" as though it is a common-sense thing to do.

I'm not saying IF is the one and true solution to weight management, but I do not see fasting as more or less an artificial "fad" than portion control.
I cannot tell why it is so but bmp image matching worked for me much faster then png on several PCs.
I'm part of a 'Small, niche communities that allow people to talk about common interests' and I've seen some of my worst possible online exchanges there. So YMMV. It also fails on most of your other points.
Does this process address issues associated with pathogens like e-coli, etc?

Japan also used to collect waste to use as fertilizer[1]. Though with modern fertilizers it’s little used.

Perhaps there is a little competition component, but the idea is to stay longer in the ketosis state. If you're doing 18/6, then your body will be in a fasting state for a longer time, and the belief is that the longer your body is in that state, the more benefit you will reap.

I think the real wastefulness of glass probably comes from its manufacture and use much more than its disposal. It takes a lot of energy to make - compared to aluminum, the melting point is very high and you need a relatively large mass of it to make a container. And its extra weight also means that you'll burn a lot more oil in shipping products in glass containers.

A lot of that could be mitigated by finding products that are bottled locally in reusable bottles. I don't know about other countries, but that's become all but illegal in many US jurisdictions.

re: frosting, it really depends on how how you like your beer. If it's an American pale lager like Miller or Budweiser, where the defining feature of the style is that it's meant to have as little flavor as possible, yeah, a frosted glass will help with that. As will a bottle, since bottles are perfect for minimizing your nose's exposure to what you're drinking. If it's an ale that's meant to have a lot of complex flavor and aroma, and you like those things, cellar temperature will bring them out more.
Those are unfortunately slow chargers. Now imagine just 50% of the cars being electric and how the infrastructure needs to change to support this...

Free electricity how? It needs some sort of a payment system too. Probably contactless.

> If this strategy works to encourage people to accidentally consume fewer calories, isn't that good enough?

Depends. I'm sure for some people it does work. I don't understand those people, because I, like many people who put on a whole lot of weight, am a food addict. Give me only an hour in which to eat, with no other restrictions, and I will find a way to shove as much food into my maw as I can. I know this from experience.

It makes much more sense to just track calories directly and stop lying to yourself.
