I never said I am after bodybuilder physique, I mentioned I am after "fight club" look only but little more defined I'd say. (think Henry Cavil in superman)

I've done enough research to know women find huge body a turn off.

I trained 6 years in a local gym without ever achieving that fight club look and within 3 months after steroid use, I reached there and surpassed my expectations.

When I started - I had patchy beard and face with no well defined jaw. After steroid use - I've now full beard and square jaw (I chew chewing in gym which I copied from Arnold) but not sure if chewing made my jaw bigger or steroid.

Achieving low body fat without losing your muscle on calorie restricted diet is hard as you end up losing some muscles and some fat - steroid makes it easier to put on muscles and get low body fat.

Ofc, there are side effects but imho they are worth it for me.

My HDL levels went down and LDL went up and arterial plaque might build up and I might die from stroke. My heart might become large and weak. But there is also a chance that I might not have any problem at all - here I am gambling with my life. Skin have got thinner but no difference in hair, not gone bald so far others might not be this lucky but who knows.

Also, there are things I am curious about, if you guys know please answer:

If steroid mimicks testosterone. How is using steroid different than a man having naturally high testosterone level which produces androgenic and anabolic effects?

FTA: "Our daughter realized that by holding back, she could convert one trip to the toilet into two or three, and thus triple her frog consumption. The economist Tim Harford likens this effect to the way pole-vaulter Sergei Bubka, who was paid a cash bonus each time he broke the world record, chose to do it a centimeter at a time. That’s the risk you face when you set down clear, objective rules for rewards: you often get what you pay for."
I think light gauge strings tune just fine, and non-12-tone music might be interesting (I want to hear it, though, not read about it)

I'm an average guitar player, and I don't teach. If you want to play a song, of course pull up the tab/gpro/songbook. But find video of the original artist playing it, look on youtube for the "guitar track" version (no vocals, drums), and try to see where they play/"voice" their chords and how they dish out upstrokes / downstrokes, these things are very subtle when heard.

If you can find a video of the original guitarist teaching you their own song on their own guitar, almost nothing can beat that.

Do Not look at your hands! (play in the dark if you have to) Play the song on the computer, and just try to follow.
Checking this page brings back memories. Carles Simó was the principal researcher at my research group (is now retired as a professor, but AFAIK is still a researcher), so I'm familiar with the work and people mentioned there, even if it was outside of my own research interests.

This does not exist.

The moment you have money there is people out there that want to take it. It has always been, there is this part on the Bible that says that when you have money, there will be robbers making holes in your walls to take it. That was thousands of years ago.

It is human nature.

For me, being really rich is that you know the way to make wealth(not money) when you need it. This knowledge is more useful than the outcome of it.
With respect to potty training, I can really recommend cloth diapers for 3 reasons (in order of importance):

cost:
We estimated the total costs before we started with our first child, and they would end up costing about the same as disposable diapers, however we have used them for 2 kids now :-)

potty training:
Both our kids were potty trained at the age of 2, with little extraordinary effort, meaning the effort was constantly more since we have to clean the diapers.
Indeed scraping poop from cloth is a good incentive for yourself to get them trained, so we combined the diapers with (but not very strict) the use "elimination communication" ("baby zindelijkheids communicatie" in Dutch). Simply put, we tried to keep diapers clean by holding the baby over the potty when we thought they were going to do nr 1 or nr 2.

My thoughts on why cloth diapers are better is this: the kids feel discomfort very clearly and immediately after the action, while the technologically superior disposable diapers are simply too comfortable to get this immediate action-response they need to learn by themselves, and indeed the first signs they were ready for full time potty training was that they started telling us the diaper was freshly made dirty.

environment:
While honestly this is mostly based on my personal logic and not so much on science, but I cannot imagine cloth diapers being as bad for the environment as disposable diapers made from plastic and chemicals, event taking into consideration they need to be washed.

I also recommend Xeno Kovah's OpenSecurityTraining courses on YouTube, some of which are specifically dedicated to assembly. The audio quality can sometimes be pretty bad, but the information is good.

That's appealing. I have been tracking my time in toggl for years.
Thanks!

Sorry, from your wording I'm not sure whether you are suggesting custom tags or saying there already are, but to clear up any confusion, there will be.

That's kind of what I was hinting towards at the end of the demo - you can define custom tags and styling behavior (either globally or at a block level, or site-wide in your preferences) with keywords like "@"

Trust me, I know the struggle of setting up like 500 custom math and environment macros in LaTeX. I'll try to find the best solution for this sort of thing - Polymath should work very well out of the box, but it should also allow for a fair amount of customization.

They sent a note about closing down their store to the Lasersaur mailing list in February 2019. The store for custom Lasersaur parts is closed, but the project is still open and open source.

"The time has come when we close the Nortd Labs Lasersaur store. For almost nine years we have supplied parts to nearly one thousand builders and owners. It allowed us to have a budget for software development and made the BOM sourcing more convenient. It was a great run but its time for us to move on. "

As far as I know, the main speed advantage is that Fortran supports arrays, which are known to not alias.

C/C++ does not have alias-annotations built-in. Although with template constructs like done in e.g. the Eigen library, alias-optimal code can be generated.

Or maybe rather buy the Pine Phone that comes from a company with actual embedded/mobile hardware experience (Pine64 boards, Pinebook, etc.) and based on early prototypes seems to work fine ? Not to mention costing less & not being shrouded in tons of marketing like Librem 5 does.
Your intuition is right but it's complicated.

This paper gives a discussion of different biases:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4504518/

There's a standard paper on this topic the authors I forget atm but all estimates will be biased. The best estimates are sort of unintuitive and account for estimated time-to-death and the time since diagnosis.
Still no raised temp, no cough, no breathing trouble, just snot and a heavy head. I probably just picked up a cold from being confined a plane with other humans for 14 hours...
Nobody is pointing at the elephant in the room:

GSM, WiFi, TCP/IP, SIM cards, debit cards could provide strong privacy for everybody by default.

Requiring random, temporary, untracked addresses by law is possible and achievable.

Yet, society accepts corporate surveillance for the masses and privacy for the powerful and wealthy.
> The most frustrating part of the Librem 5 right now is easily the power management, which isn't nearly complete. The phone is dead nearly all the time, because so many basic charging features we normally take for granted don't work. First, the phone doesn't seem like it has any kind of idle power mode. It is hot from the minute you power on until the battery dies, even with the screen off. You can't leave the phone on the charger overnight to charge it—you'll wake up to a dead phone. I think what is happening is that there's no trickle charge, so the phone charges to full, then stops charging, then the battery dies.

Yikes. In my mind, this isn't actually a phone in its current form. It's like a small desktop computer put into a plastic case with a battery.

I have never seen the case up close until this point. It truly looks like a crude hobby project, almost to the level of being 3D printed.

I have no idea why Purism didn't leave most of the hardware design to someone who already has a generic modern smartphone done and completed, then they could have added on to it by swapping out some proprietary bits. Instead we get this Frankenstein of a project, sold to the public long before it's done (along with marketing copy that makes the company look unethical - there should be big warnings on the store page about how far along this project truly is and what you're getting for your $750).

The worst part about this is that it makes all open source projects look bad. It makes them look like a bad compromise. And that's not true at all - a lot of open source projects are great alternatives, and many are even better than their proprietary competitors.

$750 gets you an iPhone with sophisticated cameras, the fastest mobile processor on the market, and software support for 5 years if not longer. Walk into stores across the country to get service and support. What Purism is telling us is, essentially, if you want to take a stand against the proprietary world, you have to give up everything. You have to use a chunky, ugly, crudely assembled phone. You have to give up acceptable power management. And you still have to pay $750, all of this on the cusp of Apple releasing a new $399 phone according to rumors, Google selling $399 phones, and budget brands like Motorola providing an absolutely acceptable experience for under $200 on some models.
None of what you just said aligns with reality.

Being born into wealth lends a significant chance of mismanagement and losing that wealth.

Protestants - not the megachurches that go by the label 'protestant', but believe nothing remotely related to Scripture - have no such conception.

Lastly, you're moving what I said, narrowing the scope to 'democratic socialists'.

Indeed, made a typo here, fixed. :)
As an aside, if you take the area of a circle, A = pi r^2, and take the derivative wrt r, you get the circumference 2 pi r. Similarly, the derivative of the volume of a sphere, V = 4/3 pi r^3, is the surface area A = 4 pi r^2.

It's sort of obvious, when you think about it, but it wasn't obvious to me before thinking about it :-)

Interesting read, thanks for the link. It's a pretty complex post and with some unconventional conclusions. Especially about the power of placebos. It still seems suspect to me, though, as there is virtually zero discussion on the negative aspects of steroid use. The post is entitled The Science of Steroids: The Physiology and Psychology of How Steroids Make You Stronger.

In any case, I was more referring to the common perception that taking steroids will make you jacked without doing anything.
First off: I have lived & worked in Munich and done exactly what you describe (now live in the countryside working for a remote company) but it is still only a minority of people who [can] do that. It is certainly not the case that everybody is doing it. The ecosystem is alive and well.

In my various data sources tracking job advertising, Munich has been and continues to be where almost all of the interesting jobs are based in Bavaria, and I'm not seeing falling real estate prices at all.

> Munich is the embodiment of the Bay Area in Germany

I'd argue that in many ways it is worse than the Bay Area in the sense that the pay-differential, though in existence, is not nearly as pronounced. Stack Overflow keeps pestering me with emails about jobs that it has classified as "high pay jobs" for Munich. The salary beneath those job ads is usually something like €80k/year before taxes (which are extremely high in Germany). This must seem like a steal to a company like Apple. And this is in a city that has one of the best technical universities on the planet, an extremely vibrant engineering scene, and offers a better quality of life than the Bay Area at lower prices to any senior Apple executive who might want/need to move there from the Bay Area. -- My initial statement holds in that this is a "special opportunity" for Apple, that must be worth capturing for them.

After reading the article it seems like Purism made fundamental design mistakes and started selling this phone to the public long before it's ready.

I don't think that should be encouraged. If you follow their blog and product description page and then place an order you're just about hoodwinked into buying something that's claimed to be at least mostly working.

I don't think that's ethical, even if the hardware and software itself is.

I often wish I had considered studying math back when I was considering getting a PhD in chemistry, but wound up as a programmer instead. But it's hard to make a living doing math research, you either wind up teaching or working in some practical field like programming or AI. I know two PhDs in math who each do one of those and neither can do any original math.

Criminals are aware of a technique of amplifying the radios of certain keyless key-fobs that unlock the car from a distance from your house. If plain old NFC based unlocking was used with iPhones and Apple Watches to unlock the car, would be another disaster waiting to happen.

On the other hand, Apple isn't that stupid and probably is aware of this and would involve authenticating using TouchID / Face ID to prevent this type of car theft anyway. But I'm still skeptical on the security of this.

The expectation is that these are software-only issues that can ultimately be fixed. Weirdly enough, there really is a case for buying the phone now "as a show of support" to the Librem folks - so that they can actually work on fixing this.

I think I do not want fame, but it's obviously easier to navigate some circles if your name is known: you don't have to introduce yourself, nor prove other people what you are worth.

This works on many scales: from a small team at work, where it's much easier to co-ordinate if everyone knows each other's strong points. It's also great for arguments: if you know that a person is very knowledgeable on a topic, you won't ask them to substantiate their claims, which speeds up the process.

I've been toying with the idea of creating multiple identities for multiple areas I'm engaging in: use my real name for socializing in real life with close acquaintances as well as paperwork, but maybe use a pseudonym for publishing papers, another for engaging in open-source communities, and online in general. I'm happy to say it's quite hard to find pictures of myself online, but it would be even better if they didn't come attached to a meaningful name.

I'm about to submit a paper with my real name this evening, and I am a bit unsure about this. Any experience on using pen names in that domain specifically?

The issue I have is that the longer you wait, the harder it is to change (which can also be a good thing: to change names is to get a fresh start).

It all boils down to reputation and identity somehow, two hot (and hard) topics in (distributed) social networks.

> this can be done with Python code too

Can it? That's what I would like to know, how to know without executing the code with the argument 4 that there's an error in this Python code:

import sys;

def f( x ):
if x == 4:
x += q
print( x )

f( int( sys.argv[1] ) )

That will "work" until 4 is passed at the runtime:

$ ex-undefined.py 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/ex-undefined.py", line 8, in <module>

f( int( sys.argv[1] ) )
File "/tmp/ex-undefined.py", line 5, in f
x += q
NameError: name 'q' is not defined

With this shell code

#!/bin/sh
f() {
x=$1
if [ "$x" = 4 ] ; then
x=$((x+q))
fi
echo $x
}
f "$1"

and shellcheck I get:

Line 5:
x=$((x+q))
^-- SC2154: q is referenced but not assigned.

even if I have never executed the code.
Ask HN: How to get a remote gig with a US company as European and avoid hurdles?
American companies largely pay more than European Companies. However, for remote jobs it often takes convincing for them to hire outside of the USA and there are major hurdles.

Some manage to do it, the cases I know are typically of people technically being a contractor but working full-time for those US companies and dealing with taxes themselves. I know people here have gigs like that - so what's the best way to find a US remote job as an European and what are the biggest hurdles you have to deal with?
