See a new doctor. Getting blood work is super important and can help pinpoint if you’ve got something else going on. When dieting it’s also important to weigh yourself once a week, ideally in the morning about 20-30 minutes after you wake up. You may not lose weight your first 2-3 weeks on a caloric deficit as your body adjusts.

Coming back to the bloodwork, you should get a full panel at least 1x/year if not twice a year. I realize not everyone is fortunate enough to do so, but most of the time insurances cover a large portion of it as preventative care. Blood work can show if you’re out of range on items like your test/estrogen levels, thyroid function & many more areas.

If your current doctor doesn’t support that, I’m sorry but that’s not a great doctor. Blood work is important.
Then you consider that the total unsubsidized out of pocket cost for a surgery at a private hospital in one of the medical tourism destinations amounts to only a few months of premiums. And on top of it the service and hospitality with which the medical care is delivered is unlike any you've ever even imagined in the US.
How do I get karma
dos any one know how i can get karma easily
I can attest to this. In my mid 20s, I used to hit the gym for 2-3 hours M-F (50/50 cardio and weights per day) and then biking for 5-6 hours over the weekend.

The exercise was a great stress relief for me, and I went from 165 lbs to about 215 lbs over 3 years, all lean muscle mass. Felt great. Was biking thousands of miles per year, running about 4:30 mile on the treadmill, and squatting 2x my bodyweight. I had a resting heart rate of around 45 bmp.

Then, I got hit by a car while on my bike (guy ran a stop sign and and clipped my rear wheel and seat stay). Destroyed my bike; the carbon fiber frame was cracked, carbon pedals ruined and my handle bars were messed up. I also racked up $20k in ER bills that his insurance paid. I dont know how much the X-ray, MRI and orthopaedic visits cost (his insurance had accepted responsibility at that point, and I never saw a bill). I didnt break any bones, but strained almost all ligaments in both knees. The accident knocked me off my workout schedule for 2 months while I recovered. Despite my best efforts, I was never able to reestablish my routine. I now weigh less than when I graduated high school at nearly 40. And, to boot, I suffer from arthritis now and exercising is near impossible for me now without great risk of being laid up in bed with a severe pinched nerve.

While I haven't done 36, 24 is relatively easy. The idea that your body needs constant food intake is a modern myth. It's mostly your mind that's been programmed to want to eat that often. Also, once you eat the insulin spike triggers the next wave of craving, and so on. Fasting is not the same because you're well, um, fasting.
Thanks, I will look into it. I thought Github was only a place to host personal code or company code restricted to employees.
Donate your spare compute power to help cure diseases
Oh, thanks.

That simplified R&D cost calculation. $11B for $3.5 m persons in U.S. and 90% successful rate means R&D cost(merge cost) definitely less than $4k per person.
Are you defining "need to know" as in the state of the art methods of today? Problem is the next stage after mature technology is commodity. We'll be getting daily spam from India offering to fulfill all our "A.I. design" needs just as with web design. If all you have to do is follow a blog post or video on how to use a prepackaged framework to get a job done, than everyone else can do it too.
> Why would he give away bitcoin just to promote Bitcoin?

Why not? The donation drove a lot of awareness of Bitcoin in a context - charity - that few people would criticize.

> Are you suggesting he had an even larger sum of Bitcoin hidden somewhere?

I presume he does. I doubt his donations impoverished him, but it's irrelevant to the argument.

> Or he just wanted to promote Bitcoin at a personal cost?

Again, sure, why not?
Instead of changing the module's URL to e.g. a private evil GitHub repository, how about registering a new package within the official npm registry, using homoglyphs/similar-looking characters.

For diff viewers that are highlighting entire lines for changed content, the difference in the package name wouldn't be spotted in reviews when also changing the version or some other part of the URL.

Or am I missing something?
I heavily used to ETL (with Hive, Presto, and custom operators) using Airflow for three years. But I have no experience with the dask executor. Could you share your gentle introduction of the dask executor?
Personally I hate treadmill walking or running. Anything outside is better.

I've had a weightlifting habit for many years and I always look forward to it. Either increasing weights or reps or improving a movement is always enjoyable. And I look the better for it.
Sure. Treadmill or elliptical has its uses. They are safe and easier on the joints. I warm up sometimes on a treadmill for a few minutes. The author seems had specific goals, and treadmill is a precise tool, which allowed him to achieve and maintain his goals. I still think that walking or jogging can be an enjoyable activity it the right settings.
Wikimedia 'deeply concerned' about India's proposed intermediary liability rules
I wonder if it's based on the same thing as https://old.reddit.com/r/itslenny/top?t=all
Weight lifting's more effective for me at controlling fat than it "should" be according to charts and calculators and such, cardio and calorie deficits, even largish ones (1400 calories/day was one I kept up for 60ish days straight, once, and no, I didn't once cheat, so yeah, I've actually tried) OTOH are way less effective than they "should" be. Flat-out not eating for a day or two at a time does work, though. IDK why, that's just how my body works. Sucks, because dieting's easy for me and saves time & money, versus lifting weights, which uses up time (and space, if you do it at home, and sometimes money). At least straight-up fasts work.

I’ve been looking for a way to convert math texts to audiobooks, but haven’t actually implemented anything.
Back when I was cycling regularly, I considered the fact that I couldn't quite when I wanted a major feature. Even considering the risk of blown tires, the ability to plan routes in advance that I knew I could do even though I would want to quit half way through was a major component of my ability to push my limits.
You can be losing fat while gaining muscle. Net lbs stay the same, but the circumference of your arms/legs/stomach/hips will be shrinking, and the fat % (if you have a scale that reports that) will be reporting a noisy-but-changing value.
I'll try it out!
I think you’re right, but your comment is so dense it’s impossible to decipher unless the person has read specific literature.

TL;DR it’s not all about calories, bodies adapt their energy budget, carbs have a stronger impact than other food.

> Eventually it dawned on me that these blind blanket decisions are simply because these doctors don't know anything about a patient's personal life and what risky subpopulations they may or may not belong to.

The question is not which subpopulations the patient may belong to, but which ones they may have had contact with. It doesn't matter how well-off you are if you ate dinner last night in a restaurant where the staff cannot afford to be screened and treated for hepatitis. That particular transmission vector is more relevant to Hep A than Hep C, but the general point for public health policy at a high level is sound: you cannot ignore under-served populations that live amongst you, because people you don't care about can still get you sick. Yes, there are some nasty diseases that for now appear to be limited to only sexual and needle transmission, but we shouldn't shape our entire approach to public health around blaming the victims of those particular diseases.

I've been engaging in intermittent fasting to various extents for almost a decade now and am a huge fan of it.

It takes a bit to get used to and should be adapted to over time, but I very much love the feeling of fasting for short periods and the freedom I'm granted to be able to easily skip meals, most commonly breakfast and lunch. I often only eat one meal a day, which saves me time, energy, and money, but I also enjoy the meal more, as I can include large portions of a lot of food groups in my single meal.

That this has many potential health benefits makes this style of eating appear even more appealing. Caloric restriction, although not quite the same as intermittent fasting, does appear to be one of the more promising methods we already have to help promote human longevity.
So perhaps the answer to “who would want to live somewhere that cold?” is “people who were born there and lived their whole lives there.” This is based on my understanding that those countries have very low rates of immigration.
You won't lose weight if your sleep or hydration aren't right.

Composition of what you're eating matters; I personally find a low-carb low-calorie diet more sustainable than a high-carb low-calorie diet.

You also won't lose weight if your diet has too few calories. Its counterintuitive, but if you go too low, your body will compensate by dropping metabolism and raising your appetite; bad combo.

Also, you need to consider that you may be gaining muscle and that's offsetting any fat loss.

Sorry if you've heard this all before, I know how tiring it can be to get the same canned advice over and over. I'd be curious to hear your numbers (calorie intake, weight, height)

Also, one last thing, _DO NOT_ trust the calorie estimates from those apps. If I ate as much as fitbit told me to, I'd gain weight _very rapidly_ despite having set the program to make me lose 2 lbs per week. E.g. fitbit wants me to eat 2500(!!) calories today to lose 2 lb per week. In practice I need to eat < 1400 calories to lose ~1 lb per week and <1200 to lose the 2 lbs per week. I'm 6' 210lb.

Right, but the point of the argument is that people might leave the US because health care is so much cheaper abroad.
He is wrong. Proprietary software is near impossible to escape. Try running exclusively open source is impossible (sadly, for those of us who like to keep prying eyes out of our hardware). It's in the firmware blobs we load, embedded in ROM's in things like SSD, in the digital thermometer on my desk, the monitor my computer is connected to, the IP phone I use, in the modems in my mobile, in the batter control chip in my laptop.

But to a programmer, I guess it may look like open source is replacing everything else. That's because we programmers have gradually have replaced everything we use with open source - compilers, editors, web servers, libraries for just about everything. Even stuff we use play with rather than get paid for is replaced - like photo and video editors, 3D printers, model plane piloting software.

It's easy for us, and cheaper in the long run, and given enough time the end result is better quality than the proprietary stuff because we all pitch in to knock off the paper cuts.

But it really is a case of "scratching itches", so if a programmer doesn't get itchy about something then it usually won't have an open source version. It's not hard to find examples. There are some usable PCB design tools out there - but 3D mechanic drafting tools weren't a thing until 3D printers tickled our interest in that area. Anything that requires specialised hardware is going to be out of reach - so you won't see open source MRI scanners, but I have no doubt you will see devices using 2 cheap web cams to do SLAM in the not too distant future.

This has had the accidental effect of making us more efficient. Any tool we can conceive of that allows us to do our job done better is free. The tools we already constantly get better - for free. In any other industry this might be a problem as supply overwhelms demand, but we seem to be in the odd position of the world demanding what appears to be a near infinite amount of software.

I am constantly amazed by how the demand for good programmers never seems to tail off. Even where I live (Australia) which has very high wages by international standards, and in the face of huge numbers of programmers coming out of low wage areas, _and_ in the face of jobs being some of the most transportable on earth, anyone competent programmer who wants a job gets one within weeks. I think we partially have open source to thank for that.

But step outside of what programmers want, and we are as mercenary as the rest of them. We are more than happy to develop nice new shinies we use and give them away for free, but we know who butters our bread. We don't write code for them for free. And since we are all getting paid, that must mean most of the code we write isn't available for free.
I used to think like this. You have it backwards. You're causing yourself anxiety by setting unrealistic goals and expectations for yourself. Take some time and chill out. Stop caring so much about what you do or don't do. Soon enough you'll start just doing the things you want to do when the pressure is gone.
A dedicated running track is a good middle option between street running and a treadmill. Usually the surface is a little softer. If there's a public high school or community college in your area you can probably run on their track for free as long as it's not in use.
At least when I review code, if I see a line changed that doesn't need to be, I leave a comment asking why and hold off on approving the code for merge until I figure out what's going on. This is more due to not having changes people made by mistake merged in rather than a strategy for dealing with malicious submitters, though.
That makes sense to me.

There was a specific thing I was looking for in my original question which was to understand how related vs. arbitrary the shared term 'dimension' is.

I think I found an answer after browsing a few Wikipedia articles—but happy to be corrected if it doesn't sound right:

The usual notion of dimension that people think of is topological only; fractal dimension (i.e. Hausdorf dimension) is also concerned with metric properties. These metric properties are what creates the need/possibility for fractional measures.

In that case, the scenario I was considering with 'fractional axes/directions' is not implied by the fractal dimension concept: fractal dimension is dealing with new subject matter, not just an extension of the old concept to deal with real numbers.
Interesting, but it doesn't get at the more important question of whether or not the same meanings can be communicated in different languages, whether with one word or several.

It seems to me that every language must be able to, for instance, convey that a situation is such that harm may occur. Perhaps it has one word like "danger" that covers all such situations, or different words for different types of harm that may occur, but the basic meaning is the same.
A bit tangential, but wanted to ask if there's any pointer to learn/study how to best answer "design" interviews? Thank you!
One option: if you live near some mountain bike trails, get a mountain bike. All the nature of hiking with as much or as little roller coaster like excitement as you want.

There are so many options, even indoor ones, that there is no need for being active to be boring.
I have done a couple 36 hour fasts. What broke me was hunger, not low energy. Didn't feel any less energized than usual, really. But resisting the urge to eat after you've been hungry all day and someone puts a meal in front of you is hard.
Regardless of terminology, I'm trying to communicate the idea that some media demands your full attention while others don't.

Maybe a better example is a podcast vs. music. You don't really need to absorb, consciously, every note and lyric of a song. But a podcast demands your attention.
I guess I'll post this here, on the off chance that someone shares my plight and has found success.

I, like the author, have found that most traditional excercise is just... boring. And exhausting. And not enjoyable. I did biking for awhile, and it was fine until life happened and I fell off the wagon. Same with lifting. Same with running. The only thing I've truly enjoyed was rock climbing, but the nearest gym is 45mim away in low traffic - it's a 3 hour commitment to get a good session.

I've seen the advice from this thread before, to find excercise you enjoy or excercise you can integrate into your life (ie: run to work). I work from home. Everything out of the house is inconvenient, and everything in the house is boring.

I make plenty of money and would be exceptionally happy if I could just throw money at this problem. There's not really a price I wouldn't pay for a more durable and comfortable body.

Mostly in the past Ive been told I need to... just do it. Have the willpower to do it. But that's crappy advice and doesn't work. Has anyone had success with particular workouts or strategies to keep motivated?

Do you know about the quality of VinMec? For VinSchool I've heard from friends who attended that they have incredible teachers and from advertisements that they have professors from ivies helping them out, so I was wondering if VinMec is also top tier. They claim to have equipment "equivalent to leading hospitals in the US, UK, Germany, Japan and Singapore" so I wonder if they also have the skills to use it effectively.
The article specifically calls out the engineer former CEO. IIRC he was the only engineer in Boeing's C-suite and board.

His egregious behavior doesn't get emphasized enough. It's beyond horrible. To back up what was said in the article, here is something from Reuters on the day after the 2nd crash:

“We are confident in the safety of the 737 MAX and in the work of the men and women who design and build it,” Boeing Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg told employees in an email seen by Reuters. “Since its certification and entry into service, the MAX family has completed hundreds of thousands of flights safely.” https://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-airplane-boeing-ceo...

That asshat CEO made those comments the day after the second crash, after 346 people were dead.
So you think the world would be just fine if Wikipedia were abolished? And perhaps that is your intention?

I'd think that exercises for small children are based on more mainstream (nowadays) classical logic and ZFC (and likely with finite sets), and certainly are informal. If so, the reasoning can go as "here's a set of cats, take blue ones out of it, then take bouncing ones out of those; how many is there?".

I wondered whether what's shown on the screen is also supposed to be a complete representation of the set in question, but apparently the correct answer to every question is 0 and I don't see any cats (maybe it just doesn't work correctly here).
If a right is something that makes society better if people have it, then access to Wikipedia or something like it is definitely a right.

And in fact it falls under freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
The misery from the work expressed makes me think this will not be a very long-lived habit.

I think in order to get the endorphin rush (or, more accurately, a general increase in a well-being feeling over time), you need to have a level of intensity higher than just walking.

So if you run instead of walk your calorie burn is 4-5x more so you can play this calorie game with even less time investment and you'll get the endorphins that will help reinforce the behavior better.
For using large C dependencies within Rust, `bindgen` is also a very nice option.

https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-bindgen/

It does not attempt to help you refactor the C code, but it is still a great way to call your C library from Rust while you are in the process of refactoring. It can also work with `no_std` environments with a bit of configuring.
How great to have adopted cryptocurrency/in something early enough where you're able to give back in such a substantial way. That feeling they have must be deeply rewarding.
Hydrogen is very inefficient compared to using electricity (more) directly via a battery. The fueling is relatively fast, in rare locales where the stations are available, but then fueling speed for electric vehicles is not an issue if it can be done at home and at fast chargers, which are highly available in many states of the US and a rapidly growing number of countries.
I think boredom has been redefined many times over human history. That's where leisure activities are borne from.

There was a point in our collective history when "where will my next meal come from?" is the overarching concern of every member of the species. Becoming a producer in such an environment would be nearly unthinkable, yet it's not a second thought today.
