Because rebuttals will do nothing. From my past experience here offering rebuttals and considerate arguments, this definitely falls in the category of “rejecting that which doesn’t fit their world view”.

Someone convinced of Keto’s efficacy will not believe you when you say “I tried that, I gained weight”. Instead, you’re just not doing it right.

Someone convinced of the effacy of fasting won’t believe a claim of “I stayed the same weight”. Instead, you “must be lying”.

Someone convinced you’re just lazy will call it all excuses.

It’s just not worth the effort. Even here.
If you are interested in a simple primer on the chemistry and biochemistry of weight loss, check out this episode of ABC (Australia) Catalyst:

https://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/where-does-fat-go/11015048

The overall balanced equation is quite simple, showing fat molecules convert to CO2 and H2O. It shows quite clearly that you have to breathe oxygen in and carbon dioxide out in order to lose weight. I guess this is why high intensity exercise or endurance exercise aid in weight loss - in both cases you are elevating your breathing while at the same time exhausting your muscle glycogen stores.
> you must not know what an HF radio is

No I've used HF, VHF and UHF, voice and data, clear and encrypted, in war-zones and around the world. I've seen people sometimes have to do some innovative things with antenna geometry for special use-cases, but apart from that I usually just switch them on and push to talk.

> Maybe you have to accept that not everyone is as smart in gadgets as you are..

As I say, I just switch them on really.
Immigration is not panacea to it, just delaying the inevitable. One way or another developed societies need to come up with a way to sustain 2.1 child rate. Immigration will prolong time we have to figure it out but it will not fix it.

In many ways perhaps it is better to face the reckoning earlier rather then later as Japan, Korea and soon PRC will have to do

I didn't find that this article stated much that was worthy of discussion, but here are some random thoughts on the general topic:

A large number of our decisions are based on maximizing convenience while moderating cost. Foods, especially convenient foods, are engineered to sell and addict. It’s hard to maintain a healthy weight and body composition in a modern world without some effort. I also think that the body is particularly good at resisting change. It appears that if you’ve been overweight for a while, the difficultly of losing extra weight increases dramatically. And the toll on your health over time in terms of probability of disease is real.

I have never been particularly overweight, but I am aware of what I eat, and I do weigh myself on a regular basis to ensure I stay within a somewhat arbitrary range. The exercise part of the equation is easy for me to fulfill because I naturally enjoy exercise, though some injuries have tested my ability to stay active at times.

Preventing excessive weight gain is very important to long-term health.

I live in an area [0] prone to severe weather and especially violent tornadoes. The local Skywarn [1] repeater is probably the best source of immediate first-hand information when things get bad. There's usually at least a few storm chasers out following the storms, and reports from various places in the area help you get a real feel for how bad a particular storm is.

Moreover, the repeater is monitored by all of the local TV and radio stations as well as the city EMA (Emergency Management) and the local National Weather Service office.

I'm not licensed (yet, it's on my to-do list for this year), but I still have a small handheld that I tune in whenever the weather is bad. Ham radio is still very much alive.

I'm familiar with that sense of 是 (also as 昰) from seeing it in some obscure Japanese text, where it was used to signify これ, which was probably about right when writing was new to Japan. In Japanese, 是 is more commonly used in words that to me seem unrelated to either the old, very old, or modern Chinese use of the character.

It's amazing how durable some of this stuff is, especially if you look at it from the perspective of recipients of Middle and Classical Chinese culture (such as Japan).
This is such a critical point. Without a lot of psychedelic experience under ones belt this state can come as a surprise and cause difficulty with integration. (Well, even with a lot of experience, the same can happen.)

A recent experience with this substance took me to a very bleak place in order to remind me what it means to live. I had to metaphorically crawl, uphill and on ice, back to life. It was very, very difficult. I'm grateful. However, time does not behave in a normal way in this space and things had to be put back together, slowly.

That being said, understanding the risks and going into the experience without expectation -- with a trained guide, in a safe setting -- can significantly alter the outcome in ones favor. These medicines are powerful and potentially life-changing free agents inside of the mind -- to change in such a way means releasing a lot of psychic baggage. It can be unsettling, but there can also be a lot to gain. It's important to be educated.

I don't really understand your comment. A female shortage is compatible with men buying many houses to attract women. Men wouldn't be trying to turn lesbian women heterosexual with houses. Men would be trying to attract women away from other men with houses. The men would be fighting each other.
> writing yourself off as ‘Not a process person’ removes your ability to level up and takes away your ability to do any better.

I've worked at places with varying levels of process. I don't get enjoyment or fulfillment from following a process, defining processes for others to follow, or from enforcing process on others.

When I have choices, I would rather be paid to do things I enjoy and let me feel fullfillment than working at a job where I have to spend a lot of time doing stuff I don't enjoy. You can say, that proper process enables more productivity, but I haven't experienced that, and building better process isn't something I'm good at, so it makes sense for me to seek out opportunities with less process and more individual ownership and deployment freedom so I can be a cowboy.

1) Using a tool like SelfControl or ColdTurkey to block distracting websites.

2) Taking care of my body with sleep, exercise, food.

3) Taking good care of my brain by the above alongside regularly seeing friends, doing folk dance, meditation, and taking my ADHD medication.

4) Making it clear what I should be focusing on by deeply understanding the "why" of the project, knowing how to recognize progress, and using TDD to get into a good loop between exploratory and focused thinking.

I don't particularly recommend this if you want to use it as a form of accountability. As Jocko Wilink[1] says, accountability is a crutch--a temporary stopgap to detect and then fix a larger problem of self-leadership. Instead, you should strive to build discipline. But first you need to understand what discipline is not.

Discipline is not punishment.

Discipline is not shame.

Discipline is not external.

Discipline is self-care.

Discipline is the mental garden that you terrace and irrigate and weed and nurture in order to help your goals grow out from your impulses -- no matter what precipitates. That garden takes real regular work and sweat and re-work to build. Yet, it is not harsh. Every push-up and every pomodoro expresses the kindness and care you have for your future self.

So that means you need to first:

- Know yourself: What are the natural inclinations of your brain? What are your values?

(Warning: This can be scary if you realize you've been pursuing a goal that is totally disconnected from your values.)

You sound like a person with curiosity impulses. Channel those. Discover your other impulses.

- Know your goal: Why are you striving for it? How would you recognize the signs of success?

And then you need to:

- Build your environment: Remove barriers. Remove distractions. Improve your tools.

- Build your relationships: Communicate to ask "why?" and get the right resources. Communicate to get incremental feedback.

- Build your mind: Adopt mantras to remind yourself of the simple things that are hard to hold on to. Imagine clear pictures which help you feel the links from your values to your goal, from the goal to the signs of progress. Link the steps of progress to your impulses so they can drive you forward to take them.

It means something which looks 3d but is actually 2d under the hood. Doom looked 3d through a combination of techniques but the maps were 2d, Ultima and simcity look 3d because of the isometric perspective but are still just 2d tiles.

It's not kludgey until it's "certain" about something and then it just offloads to past experience reaching temporal projections.

Long live books, in any increment.
If we're at API design, I'd like an even more abstract one: Let the app register intents with associated title, description, icon and suggestion for a keyboard shortcut and let the OS manage how the intent is invoked.
I saw "relativistic gravitational force between neutrinos" and red flags went up. I've not read the article, just the abstract.

Doing a bit more of a look on the RLM, I found this[1] where they (mis)write the relation between inertial and rest mass. Specifically the gamma^3 factor ...

I've been out of physics for more than 20 years, so it's possible that there has been some new development since my Ph.D. Though 2 additional factors of gamma in special relativity aren't likely.

Color me ... skeptical.

I did follow their Einstein paper reference[2] to see if I had missed something. I didn't. I don't understand the origin of their 2 extra gammas in eqn 1 of the first reference. The paper abstract appears to be a continuation of that work.

From what I could determine, they need the gamma^3 term for their arguments, but it doesn't come from Einstein's paper as they claimed.

Again, I could be missing something, but I don't think I am.

> But due to the lack of a distributed or delegated authority, it greatly limits how many important topics can be focused on at once as the apparatus of government is designed around pleasing the core power holders, who can only focus on a few things at a time.

A little off-topic, but this is an interesting point. Made me wonder if our corporations fall prey to the same problem as well, since they're basically authoritarian states in structure. But I guess it's because they have such one-dimensional goals that this structure is so effective, as you said.

> If the Chinese government can ever arrive at a good solution to local, delegated authority (and I'm not hopeful it will), these smaller issues can be attended to

Do you think it's possible for delegated authority to exist under an authoritarian system at all?
There used to be an app for this exact problem. I think it was called “Up Next”, and it looked at your direction of travel and what was known to be on or near the road, within a given set distance. They made a point of having all the information from all the road signs in their database, and knowing exactly what was available at which exit, which direction you’d have to turn when you got off, and how far you’d have to drive after the exit.

When my wife and I did more road trips, we used to make quite a lot of use of that one.

Not sure whatever happened to it, but I haven’t used it for years.
It looks like there's a Jupyter kernel for dyalog. I'll give this a try. Thanks!
This article is just one example of the things that the commies got correct. As flawed and abusive as the system was it did produce remarkable efficiencies in a few areas.

Stores that did not produce unnecessary waste were standard practice. Growing up in communist Poland I remember having to bring to the store empty milk glass bottles to swap them for filed ones. They even tried to implement that with preserve jars though that was short lived.

Another thing they got right was urban planning. Communist built residential areas had all amenities within walking distance. I was in not a particularly well regarded area yet I was within 500m of the grocery store, my school, soccer field, cinema, library, church, computer club, three bus stops and one tram stop.

Another thing they got right was public transit. By having cars and fuel expensive people were more likely to use it which means it was inexpensive and frequent if crowded at times.

I look at the new development in Warsaw in the last 30 years and just shake my head at how much they’ve managed to screw up since the central planning was done away with.
You're missing my point entirely.

SLES and openSUSE use Btrfs by default, including snapshots and rollbacks.

Snapshot creation is inexpensive. Snapshot deletion can be expensive depending on the changes since snapshot was taken, but this is workload specific. All subvolumes/snapshots share the same extent tree, so that's where things can get expensive.

This is from 2017, I'm sure there are other more recent anecdotes, and Btrfs performance has improved since then also, in particular qgroups.

I don't understand the motivation of "works for me" comments like this.

No, it shows that markets work perfectly - they just optimize for what the customer wants to buy, not for some noble goal that you desire.

One of the most lingering takeaways from Sebastian Junger’s book “Tribe” for me is how being a valued member of ones society is necessary for mental health.

Funny, I've flipped to thinking of my electronic copies of books as the permanent ones and the hard copies as just convenient printouts. With a few sentimental exceptions. Damaging a physical book is for me becoming less taboo than failing to properly backup my book drive. Every spare corner of my house is crammed with books but every year they feel more anachronous. Like an 8 track collection.
The customer wants that you deny them schematics?

> As I say, I just switch them on really.

Ok. It sounds like you're mostly talking about military communications. For a very restricted set of short distance communication a pre-configured HF radio set with a pre-matched antenna may be pretty straightforward to use, but buying a brand new HF rig and getting it to communicate hundreds of miles is a lot more than just "switching them on". There's more to HF communications then you seem to realize. In the amateur service there are power restrictions, and modulation restrictions. If conditions are suboptimal there is then the issue of filtering or signal processing.
> Hmm, in my experience with AMD-based hardware profiling, AMD CPUs may place the blame as far back as ~200 instructions (pathological worst-case) behind the instruction that was interrupted.

> Since PEBS is activated, we can be assured that the instruction samples are just one instruction away from the triggering instruction.

I don't think PEBS is activated here (techncially, it's AMD so there is no PEBS, but let's talk about IBS or whatever the AMD equivalent is) - Paul never mentions PEBS except when quoting an Intel manual and in any case PEBS (or AMD equivalent) should put it on the right instruction, not the next one.

What's going on there is that when you want to sample "time" or any closely related thing like "cycles", the concept of skid doesn't really apply. Skid applies mostly when some other type of event is tracked by the PMU, and then interrupt occurs and it might take many cycles for the interrupt to occur.

With time though, that doesn't really matter. Sure the Linux timer fires (e.g., for task-clock based sampling) or the PMU fires (e.g., for cycles-based sampling), and then some time later the interrupt takes effect, _but this later point is also a totally valid sampling point and tends to interrupt slow instructions (or "one after" slow instructions). That is, if you are sampling every 10,000, your samples are just as good if they occur at 10,035 us or whatever, rather than 10,000: in the case that you care about sampling instructions.

This reasoning doesn't apply for other types of events, where the place the process is interrupted isn't "just as good" as the place the event fired, because the event isn't instruction/time based.

So for instruction/time sampling, PEBS doesn't provide much benefit, except by removing the 1-instruction skid ("skid" is not really the right word, IMO, it's just a consequence of the fact that CPUs generally only raise interrupts at the end of the instruction, so slow instructions complete and the next instruction is indicated).

This one seems a serious problem. Home sales too, since sellers know people could make larger mortgage payments.

Is there a good argument for why this will not inevitably transfer much of the money to landowners?
Weight loss might be hard, but it absolutely is not complicated. Perhaps the metabolic processes are, but it does really boil down to calories in/calories out, and absolutely no amount of contrivance can change that.

Life is also typically full of adversity and hardship, and managing weight is a hardship that all people share, regardless of their status. Perhaps “lazy” is a bit reductive, and everybody’s circumstance are different, but if somebody is overweight, the solution is simply to put in the effort that somebody who is not overweight puts in every day.
You could describe communism as “semi-fascist”. Or any political ideology for that matter. All your doing is spreading FUD. Please expand your vocabulary or be more descriptive in your criticisms.
It's still unsolved. The main witness on Guandique's trial was found to be very unreliable, so the case was dismissed.

We've spent the last 20 years cleaning up after the shoddy work of people (like you) who think avoiding the deficiencies of a thin wrapper over assembly is just a matter of good habits, rather than actually understanding what the hell they're doing.

And breaking up constants into misordered, mishmashed fragments isn't even a good habit in the first place.

Edit: Come to think of it, given that the original complaint was:

> > printf("Hello, World!\n");

> [...] All this requires is a modification to one string in memory and you have an injection vulnerability.

There's also the fact that it's you who is arguing in bad faith, since a: habit wasn't part of it to begin with, and b: you haven't given any example of a case where a habit of writing `printf("%s\n","<some text>");` rather than `printf("<some text>\n");` is useful for anything whatsoever, security or otherwise.
As the market data shows, most customers value a very low price over anything else. So the market delivers.

On the other hand, if the noble ethical goals that you list were more important for the customer, he would prefer devices that satisfy these goals (as much as possible) over low prices in his buying decision(s).
It wasn’t meant to be controversial, It’s one of the few things that are very easy to prove right, I mentioned it as a frequent comment so that it would be predictable that someone would pick up on the title saying “weight loss is harder than” should be “burning fat is harder than...” assuming we are playing to predict picky comments.
