Correct me if I'm missing something, but this isn't the type of fasting most people in the thread are talking about.

In the study they say "FMD" or "Fasting mimicking diet", in particular, Xentigen (ProLon?), which is sold by L-Nutra. These are "healthy plant-based meals". [0]

javascript gets a lot of heat from folks wishing it was a different language. It's just different, works differently, does things atypical of most languages. You can fight it or learn it.
I have a book called Fasting and Eating for Health by Joel Fuhrman MD (ISBN 0-312-18719-X). In it, he recommends fasting for between 10 - 15 days around once every 10 years.

I have actually completed a 10 day water only fast a few months ago (good use of lockdown), it takes my body around 4 to 5 days to switch completely to ketosis, then to the end of the fast I was burning through 1 pound/~0.5 kg of fat per day. You can watch it happen every morning when you weigh yourself.
Normal form supports complex product types just fine. A row is an object and a row containing a reference to a row in another table is equivalent to an object containing another object, and of course a result set is a list.

But I’m not talking about product types, complex or otherwise. I’m talking about sum types (also known as Algebraic Data Types).
Security Through Obscurity Isn't
Btrfs Coming to Fedora 33 is in my opinion for the hackers in the world
In my opinion ext4 is more secure and it is boring but I have faith in it... btrfs opens A WHOLE SYSTEM IF COMPROMISED...easily hacked.

Fedora would have been better to go ZFS and root it...YES?

I was a convert to Fedora until 33 RAWHIDE for hackers......no faith in it now as REDHAT doesn't use btrfs as it is buggy and loses data.

That's a nice overview paper. There is much value in the gravimetric mapping realm and we're not even close to the limits of what people are imagining.

For instance, by combining multiple ultra-precise orbiting clocks with quantum teleportation networks linking them for time transfer one could gravimetrically map the planet in 3D at millimeter resolutions.

E.g.:
these clocks would be able to carefully map the shape of Earth’s terrain down to the millimeter. “You’d be able to see someone digging a tunnel under the U.S.-Mexico border from space” [1]

One other capability of such a system: whoever possessed it would be able to locate every single significant concentration of dense matter, e.g., plutonium on the planet no matter where it was stored. They would know exactly how many nuclear weapons, etc. everyone had and exactly where they were keeping them.

Something similar happened with the discovery of the AIDS virus.

And lightbulbs existed before Edison; that was my point. It's just that for various reasons they weren't that useful for normal people and were mostly only used in niche applications.

Edison (and others; it was pretty regional) convinced consumers they wanted lightbulbs, much as Apple convinced consumers they wanted smartphones and Zoom convinced consumers they wanted VC.

I agree that he went off the deep end with that post. Let there’s be no mistake about that; I live on cap hill in Seattle and his analogy falls flat on its face for many reasons.

But, I think we should allow ourselves the nuanced perspective of continuing to enjoy his weather posts even if we disagree with his politics.

I think that we owe it to ourselves to be able to pick and choose information from a person rather than writing them off entirely.

Not recommended but I just kind of white knuckled it through the experience and it settled down pretty quickly after that. In subsequent fasts you have the visceral memory of it getting better and those negative experiences aren’t amplified by the doubt of the whole process.
I believe this is the Miracast feature that was common for a minute on some TVs and other devices but sort of fell by the wayside later on.

You can mirror or extend your screen from one Win10 device to another Win10 device on the same network (assuming, of course, that it's not some sort of locked down or public wifi, etc.)

Please correct me if I am wrong, as I've not used this function in probably a year or more.

It also seems that some people can't tolerate fasting for whatever reason, so GP might just not be cut out for it.
A GUI app for manually crafting PDFs is one thing, but a library instead would enable countless developers to create software capable of producing PDF deliverables as output, possibly improving the accessibility situation too.

I would gladly sponsor the development of a reliable library that allows to programmatically produce compliant, accessible tagged PDFs with arbitrary layout[0], correctly printable and viewable by mainstream software.

(Considering it is a difficult, yet to be solved problem, I’d have to know the qualities of the approach that distinguish said library from not-quite-capable attempts that already exist before I commit my personal funds.)

I would not mind if said library’s developers release an entirely paid end-user GUI software based on it, as long as the library itself remains under active maintenance.

Precisely! Working with Erlang, I come across libraries that haven't been touched in years. Sometimes that means they're experimental projects that have been abandoned, but more often than not it means the're done. Complete. All bug fixed, all functionality implemented, stable, safe to use and unlikely to change. I'll take that any day over the twitchy, look-away-for-a-second-and-your-build-chain-is-broken JS way of things.

Try eating breakfast at 10 am instead of 8(let’s say) for a couple of weeks.

Then see if you can hold off until noon without going to bed later.

If you can eat between the window of noon and 8PM you’re effectively on a 16/8 diet.

After you’re comfortable, try eating no later than 6PM, then try 4PM. Before you know it you’re on a 20/4 schedule.
The hacking itself isn't really nonsense at all, IMO. It's still the only hacker movie I know of that featured dumpster diving and social engineering as primary methods of learning about and gaining entry to a system.

The actual computer bits were outlandish, sure, but that tongue is so firmly planted in a cheek that you can see it from orbit.

A cross-domain framework for labeling data
I had a period a few years back where I did fasts up to 3 days quite frequently.. Once I got used to it they felt pretty good. But, the point I wanted to add is that they would have been very difficult for me if I wasn't also doing a pretty strict low-carb ketosis diet. Without the hunger control of keto and having my body acclimated to using stored fat as a primary energy source, fasts have been untenable.
That's the difference between freecad, sketch, and blender? I often see these names thrown around but not sure if each is used for a different purpose or if they're all the same but different people just prefer different software.
Replace: USB-C with RJ-45 and his argument is just as silly.

It turns out both simplified our lives dramatically, and both require you to do a bit of research before plugging things in.

Are you risking bricking your device or burning down your house using that $25 laptop battery off ebay? Absolutely.
That smog was mostly caused by coal and highly localized.

I’m by no means an expert, but I think there’s some amount of adaptation that occurs. I feel like I had to “train” my body to fast. I had a similar problem and it was really unpleasant the first time I tried a fast, but recently did a three day fast with no discomfort right until the end. The end was weird because I told myself I was going to break my fast, and my stomach kicked into action too early, making me sick. Like I went from very little hunger to RAVENOUS. Had to break my fast at a drive through (best chalupa I’ve ever tasted!)

For me at least I go into fasting by first skipping breakfast for a few days, then skipping breakfast and lunch. Skipping dinner is mostly a mental hurdle because there’s so much psychological signaling that you should eat at dinner time and don’t really know what else to do with yourself. Going to bed without eating in a day feels weird at first.

I also make sure to get lots of electrolytes during all of this, magnesium glycinate and lite salt seem to do the trick. Otherwise I start to get shaky and have bad headaches.

I think a better answer than I could give can be found at [1]. One pull quote they highlight:

But the White House advisory report cited research, including a study of progress over a 15-year span on a benchmark production-planning task. Over that time, the speed of completing the calculations improved by a factor of 43 million. Of the total, a factor of roughly 1,000 was attributable to faster processor speeds, according to the research by Martin Grotschel, a German scientist and mathematician. Yet a factor of 43,000 was due to improvements in the efficiency of software algorithms.

Coal smoke in that case, not wood smoke. Coal is a terrible pollutant. If you survive the wood smoke, the literature suggests you'll be back to normal in a couple weeks.
It depends on what you're doing. When I am supporting seminars on Webex, I still leave email and other things running on the second display so I can continue to monitor the conference while keeping up with the piles of emails and tickets coming in.

When I'm editing video or photos I can keep the document open and filling the main screen with tools right next door on the second display.

Lots of reasons I like a second screen, mainly so I can see both desktops at once (rather than flipping between them). Its usefulness just depends on your workflow.
> Fasting improves chemotherapy results

Does it mean more deaths or less?
I do actually, did it twice this year one week in January and then again during lockdown during the last week of March I think. I heard about it from the guy who came up with it, he wrote a book about the merits of a Mediterranean plant-based diet (with the occasional fish, but no meat) that resonated quite well with me, since it's easy to implement and also really delicious - I mean there isn't really all that much that go wrong with eating vegetables, some bread and pasta, nuts, olive oil, and fish (also had the welcome side-effect to reduce my meat-consumption to pretty much zero now)

Anyway, so after I switched my diet I decided to give his FMD a go and was pleasantly surprised - it's pretty tough, the second and third day were the worst for me, I was just incredibly hungry (and honestly speaking I did'n really achieve any mental clarity during those days), just went on a ton of walks. But I felt I gained a lot of mental strength following that experience, it was easier for me change eating or drinking habits simply because this exercise of control over your most basic need really provides you with a boost of confidence.

You obviously also lose a lot of weight (around 4kg per week) and I've lost even more since then, maybe 20kg since the beginning of the year (though that's a combination of sport, this pescatarian Mediterranean diet, but probably also those 2 fasting sessions). I plan on doing it again, though I want to try out 'real' water fasting next time. I think this is a great starting-point into fasting, though.

The idea is widely considered by the scientific community to be false. Less than 1% of the community here is qualified to dive into the details. Implying that because something is a scientific paper, that if general readers can't beat it point for point, is deeply misleading.

I think the paper is BS. It's funded by people known to produce BS. I cannot personally prove that its BS, but I'll lend my trust to more trustworthy scientific publications with no bad funding incentives.

That is entirely counter to the existing meaning of 'invention'.

The person to bring the first mature product to market is if anything, the antithesis of an inventor. Edison and Jobs were astute businessmen, and that is high praise enough. The CEO of Boeing did not invent flight, just because Boeing introduced the first modern airliners as people know it.

We do not need to add more superlatives to people who have already been deified in popular culture. Overloading terms like these, only serves dilutes their meaning, at the detriment of language at large.
Ads are bad because they use tracking to manipulate people.

Time and frequency are to a large extent the basis of most of our measurement technology and our system of units.

The metre is defined based on the speed of light. It is realized using interferometry, for which you need lasers of precisely calibrated frequency.

Voltage is measured using Josephson junctions and a calibrated frequency.

The new definition of the kg is based on a Kibble balance (aka a watt balance) which relies on measuring position, current, and voltage, all of which rely on precise frequency.

If you look at the summary diagram of the new SI system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_redefinition_of_the_SI_ba... you can see that all the base units depend on the second (except the mol).

The British got round this law by adding a small pcb to the main board, that did nothing at all. Unless it was the Spanish, funny what you mis-remember.
