Intermittent fasting: live ‘fast,’ live longer?
I'd like to remind all commenters of this part the HN Guidelines:

"Be kind. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine."
Once a year I'm installing the darkroom and giving it another chance, but usually half hour later I'm deleting it.

It's slow as a hell. I don't understand why changing exposure on my 16 core i9 macbook takes up to 2-3 seconds for 24 mpix image. Same with zoom: 24 mpix image takes 3-4 seconds to zoom in/out! Really? How this software is written that simple actions are taking so much time? Enabling OpenCL helps, but not so much: changing exposure takes up to second (yes, 3-4 times faster) and zoom still 3-4. Meanwhile devs are spending time on css driven UI...

But UI is also unusable: it's very compact and many elements on a retina display are very close to each other, so I'm constantly miss-clicking them. Slider knobs are ridiculously small and hard to grab and drag. Numbers on controls can't be entered manually, so if you need some exact value you should spend seconds on dragging sliders until you get what you want.

Any other photo software are way ahead of this editor in terms of UI and performance, so I don't understand why this one gets so much attention.
The Guardian Interviews Zuckerbot – Mark Zuckerberg Trained Neural Network
Not in the budget I'm afraid.

If you start building rotational structures and getting experience, the price is similar to a spaceship with rotational gravity.
If you are 'logged in' into a wifi network, then MAC address randomization is turned off for that network and the iPhone gives the real MAC address of the device. It's only used in non connected scenarios such as scanning for available networks.

Another bad thing is how iBeacon bluetooth is something you can't turn off specifically on an iPhone if you have bluetooth on in any capacity. And there is no per app privacy permission to turn off ibeacon processing. It's a huge privacy violation and I always wonder why it's not brought up that much.

This is an excellent point! There's no surer way not to motivate yourself to learn something than to think "maybe I'll use this one day" (or at least that's how it works for me); there's no surer path to lasting motivation to learn something than thinking that it'll be useful to address my current problem. (And then, once you get started learning it, often you'll find you get so excited that you go far beyond what you actually need–and that's fantastic!)

You can get rotating artificial gravity even with bolos, though wheel-shaped stations would be better.

If you store the station's water supply between the interior and exterior walls, you get a decent amount of shielding that way, and you need the water anyway so it's no extra mass. Alternatively, you could capture a near-earth asteroid and just tunnel your space station into it, using the material inside the asteroid for construction material.

I suspect any program to capture a near-earth asteroid and construct a station with artificial gravity would be approximately the same cost as a Mars mission.
"Ballistics: Theory and Design of Guns and Ammunition" by Carlucci et al. is (from what I can tell - again I'm just a hobbiest, it's the book I work from most) a thorough yet accessible standard work on this topic, detailed in the mathematics, lots of references, covers most of the details that matter, yet 'practical' - you can tell the authors were in the military where they had to produce results and not just papers. I'm not 100% sure how to exactly classify the approach in terms of mathematics. It's basically just 'over the next 10 cm, the bullet drops this much, yaws this much, rolls this much, ...' etc, so basically just incrementally calculating position. Very 'primitive' from a math point of view, but that's exactly what I found interesting - how a brute force numerical approach is considered superior to an elegant closed form solution.

Edit: I should add that part of the reason for this is that some of the external forces on a bullet are non-continuous, like wind coming around a building. That sort of pesky real world effects makes elegant solutions a lot more difficult.

I doubt humans will ever live beyond earth. I can’t see how it’s possible. Lack of gravity, lack of pressure, excessive radiation. We’d literally need antigravity and magical force fields to sustain what we consider “human”.

A few generations off Earth and humans won’t even be humans anymore. We will become aliens ourselves IF we manage to survive.

Conclusions:

Preclinical studies and clinical trials have shown that intermittent fasting has broad-spectrum benefits for many health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, cancers, and neurologic disorders. Animal models show that intermittent fasting improves health throughout the life span, whereas clinical studies have mainly involved relatively short-term interventions, over a period of months. It remains to be determined whether people can maintain intermittent fasting for years and potentially accrue the benefits seen in animal models. Furthermore, clinical studies have focused mainly on overweight young and middle-age adults, and we cannot generalize to other age groups the benefits and safety of intermittent fasting that have been observed in these studies.

Although we do not fully understand the specific mechanisms, the beneficial effects of intermittent fasting involve metabolic switching and cellular stress resistance. However, some people are unable or unwilling to adhere to an intermittent-fasting regimen. By further understanding the processes that link intermittent fasting with broad health benefits, we may be able to develop targeted pharmacologic therapies that mimic the effects of intermittent fasting without the need to substantially alter feeding habits.

Studies of the mechanisms of caloric restriction and intermittent fasting in animal models have led to the development and testing of pharmacologic interventions that mimic the health and disease-modifying benefits of intermittent fasting. Examples include agents that impose a mild metabolic challenge (2-deoxyglucose, metformin, and mitochondrial-uncoupling agents), bolster mitochondrial bioenergetics (ketone ester or nicotinamide riboside), or inhibit the mTOR pathway (sirolimus). However, the available data from animal models suggest that the safety and efficacy of such pharmacologic approaches are likely to be inferior to those of intermittent fasting.
Those are some very inconsistent commit messages.
Both, naturally.

Vladimir Vysotsky is my father's favorite singer. He (ex military from Bulgaria) used to go an train with soviet forces every summer (in some desert). But pretty much he grew up anti-establishment, listening to rock, heavy metal, and illegal vysotsky recordings (the ones soviet government would censure).

One summer he came back with casette and some authentic recordings from him, but then my sister decided to sing Michael Jackson and have recorded her own singing over the casette :) - so it's all lost, but he's able to find now lots of material.

It's interesting, how he really loves russian culture, was military, but despised communist, and oppressive regime. To this day he plays (maybe even now) the IL-2 sturmovik game, where with his german, russian, ukranianian, bulgarian and other buddies re-enacts the World War II period in flight (he was in the Air force, and I'm glad that he was never ever to become a pilot (due to his vision), as lots of folks from his age died in these planes, some fathers of kids I was in school...)

The correction would do what we expect and drive up the value of BTC as people want it and those who already have a lot of it will use BTC to bolster their assets. Just like we are seeing with south america, where inflation is rampant, workers are turning to online work and getting paid in BTC. It makes sense that the fall of USD as fiat currency would drive further adoption of BTC which is relatively stable. Relatively because only so much can be made, but there are a lot of hodlers out there waiting for the next spike.

Very Bad Services !!!
I will never buy from this website,you pace an order and after a week you will get your answer from the owner/administrator saying that your order is running and you look at your panel orders and see that is not like he say,very rude support/administrator/owner...
I ask for a refund and he start to insulting me saying that i will not get anything from that panel and he will not answer to my tickets anymore....

So i will think twice if you want to buy from this https://socialpanel.io/ .. you will get nothing in exchange...only insults!!!
Yes, I thought my tone could be misunderstood. That's why I started with "don't get me wrong." In first place I wanted to help by pointing to the whoishiring, but I also thought it was a "job ad" (don't kill me, English is not my first language) and that's why I included the full FAQ section about job ads. I'm not judging - just pointing to the rules.
Antigravity is provided by rotating a cylinder along it's longitudinal axis. It's very simple stuff.

Not sure why we need force fields. If you meant radiation shielding, liquid hydrogren or even water is a fine radiation shield. Life evolved on earth in shallow seas before there was an ozone layer.

All of the things you mentioned are possible, but very expensive today. The reason we wouldn't live beyond earth is because people just accept that it's too hard and too magical.
Have spent a while in the py/js world but have switched to rust/go for part of this year -- biggest change is boilerplate relating to error handling.

Automatic stack capture for exceptions is something my language could conceivably do on my behalf.

Writing even 3 lines of code per function to propogate up the error is a huge pain, especially because it pollutes the return type -- MustWhatever() in go is much easier to use than Whatever() returning (type, err)

Freedom of the press has nothing to do with publishers or institutions; "the press" is not a separate entity from "The People". All citizens may exercise freedom of the press whether they're a credentialed journalist or a rando with a camera phone. And I think the argument being made is that social media like Facebook is more akin to a public forum than a curated publication like The Washington Post.

This is one of my favorite aspects of PUBG. A bullet flying really close to you will crack loudly. Just a bit farther and it’s a whizzing sound. Even farther and it’s only the boom of the explosion straight out of the gun that you hear. In the first two examples you can hear the bullet fly from left to right or whichever direction it came from to help pinpoint where it came from. And in all the examples you can hear pretty accurately where the gunshot originated. Even the timing differences between the explosion and the impact help with gauging distance. They did an incredible job on realism in that respect.
WRT the artist: I think it depends on the ad. Some people will argue this, but I don't think making money from your art makes you a "sellout" or less of an artist. On the other hand, there are usually a lot of constraints to what you can put in an ad and most of them, although quirky or pretty, are kind of soulless if you think about it.

> I think I've met one true genius in my life so far

I'm really curious what your criterion or threshold for genius is. I realize it's likely a fuzzy topic and we don't need to get into a tangent about the philosophy of intelligence (although I'm not opposed to it, just trying to avoid a larger discussion), but you must have some way of deciding that the person you are referencing is a genius. How did you determine that?

Can't get myself to stop visiting this place so I better stay nice the next 12 months as well.

Thanks a lot for everything I've learned during this last decade.
Yes but of course the majority of smart people aren't creative geniuses. Their motivations are different. They apply their smarts to fitting in better, exploiting the social and work environment, etc.

I don't think a genius need necessarily be rude. It's really just of part of how he made it to maturity with his gifts intact. Once he is sufficiently shielded then he may relax and become a bit nicer, perhaps.

Along with counterfeits, another issue that makes shopping unpleasant is that many products are superfically different but underneath are the same thing. You can see this most clearly in a retail store when the products are side by side. Walmart might have 30 kinds of wall clocks with wood vs plastic frame, with or without Roman numerals, but the actual clock mechanism on the back is the same cheap black box. Home Depot has dozens of kitchen exhaust hoods with well-known brand names, but it looks to me like the internals (fan/filter/exhaust parts) are all made by the same company. A pharmacy gives the illusion of hundreds of different cold medicines, painkillers, and antacids, but it's the same few drugs packaged in hundreds of different ways.

I don't know the solution to this. I wish there were some way to signal when stuff is 90% to 99% identical to cut down on pointless duplicate products and/or to make comparisons easier.
Plus completely new procedures for operating in artificial gravity, safety measures, prototypes, startup, tests, exercises, docking procedures, ... Soon we are talking about big money. If you want to move inside capsules you need to balance and deal with vibrations etc.
> if you have mental issues LSD and their like can make them much worse

If you are predisposed to schizophrenia, LSD may trigger your break. Then again, a stressful life event may have done it anyway, so it's not like it caused the condition.

Some issues may get better(depression?), some may get worse(anxiety?). We really don't have enough data to make recommendations on who should or should not do psychedelics. My personal experience was that I had a significant worsening of symptoms for several years(panic attacks, anxiety, bipolar swings). If I could rewind time and never do psychedelics, I would avoid them. However, now that I've done them more and have experience with how they affect me, I'm looking forward to doing them again when I'm retired and have time to recover.
In theory, although it would take an infinite amount of time to do so.

From Earth it would just get redder and dimmer - when we couldn't see it anymore it wouldn't be a black hole yet, but it would be hard to see the difference. (Especially surrounded by the accretion disc.)
If your degree is in the physical sciences you might want to consider an entry level research position in that science. For example, if your degree is in earth science and you know how to code, you're literally a hot commodity RIGHT NOW for a graduate degree program or even an internship in your field. It would be much much harder to get a job in tech compared to one of those. I know it's not what you ask but you could probably get into a graduate program and do a TA or RA and make ends meet and then have a masters/PhD in earth science(physics or whatever you have your undergraduate in) and then a thesis and great resume for continuing to do numerical modeling or machine learning within that field. Cheers.
Yes I'm aware of your case [1]. You sold non-retail unpackaged electronics on Amazon, you are not an authorized reseller, and were accused of selling counterfeit goods. TP-Link got you banned from Amazon. Now you're suing TP-Link for $5M-10M because you lost ~$100k/mo profit.

But the story above is about actual counterfeit goods. Not people reselling wholesale goods for below MAPs to retail customers.

This works well at game companies. They're almost always starving for tools. Schedules/management tend not to make time for them, but devs love tools and they make a huge difference.

Get in via QA or support, make some tools. You'll probably be able to transition to engineering.
I've been an instructor for CS courses before so I know what you mean. I never made deadlines anything but absolutely final, which is appropriately not unlike a lot of other things in life --- from what I've heard from others, any leniency just tends to cause more whining. Someone who waits until the last second to do something is not going to do any better if given a tiny bit more time (nevermind the question of how much more?), and in any case procrastination is not a habit we want to encourage.
