> the technical reason we started counting arrays at zero is that in the mid-1960’s, you could shave a few cycles off of a program’s compilation time on an IBM 7094. The social reason is that we had to save every cycle we could, because if the job didn’t finish fast it might not finish at all and you never know when you’re getting bumped off the hardware because the President of IBM just called and fuck your thesis, it’s yacht-racing time.
Yeah that's weird, it's incomplete basically. As if the question were 'what's potentially more open source, licence or no licence?'

Of course. Anyone who thinks otherwise has just bought into a virulent meme and isn't actually thinking.
The word “ketosis” gets thrown around a lot. It’s a physiological state that’s objectively quite hard to enter. I would ask, are you quantifying if you are “in ketosis” or not at any point during your fast, and if so how? Or is this just a gut feeling?
Computer German is surprisingly easy to understand.
I'm not sure it's due to the technical setup of the platforms. But rather that they're all built in SV and/or are controlled by monopolies that are the problem.

While these aren't common, they aren't as uncommon as you think.

A famous long one is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri%27s_fast ; But from memory reading studies about it ages ago (mostly examining religious fasters in India), an average non-overweight person can easily do 40 days water fasts without any irreversible damage. Somewhere between 40-50 days, the body would start to digest the nervous system for energy and that's irreversible (and leads to death within days if the fast continues). But if fat stores are available - as in the case of Angus Barbieri above - it can go for much, much longer.

I wonder how long before we start hearing stories like "How chrome obliterated my 4 year old website"

On a serious note though, why do we keep getting trapped in this cycle so many times? Company walled garden(WG) comes up with a WG, developers build for that WG. WG forgets about the people who made the WG a fun place for everyone to be in. WG screws over the old developers who's hard work it build itself on. And the developers complain about the walled garden being a walled garden. Like what the hell, is there really a solution to this?
Me and a friend used to play a game called Wurm Online (the guy behind Minecraft worked on that before branching off); in that game you could build things like a house, but over time, weathering would slowly break it down so if you abandoned it, everything would just be removed.

They are multiple wars countries that are definitely not moving toward better future. Like, there are wars and genocides going on right now. Those people are not be better off then previously.

Comparison of WWII and largest war since in terms of casualties[0]:

WWII: 56,125,000–85,000,000 casualties.
Second Congo War: 2,500,000–5,400,000 casualties.

The difference is over an order of magnitude (although I'd absolutely call the Second Congo War a major war).

The US actually has this. It's called the Auto Train: https://www.amtrak.com/auto-train

Runs from just outside of DC to Florida.

In the Northeast, Amtrak has pretty much captured the NYC <-> DC market for business travel.

What's holding it back is a lack of capacity and slower speeds than you'd find in, say, Europe.

Why it's slow is a complex problem with many causes.

It's partly due to US regulations that cause trains to be heavier, slower and more expensive than overseas.

The infrastructure is also old, dating back to the 1800s in some cases, causing bottlenecks in key areas. One 1870s-era tunnel in Baltimore brings speeds down to 30mph for what feels like an eternity.

Amtrak is also not super great at running the NEC. The physical infrastructure could do more, and relatively cheap changes could have a large impact.

1. Agree for the first 24 to 48, disagree thereafter.

2. True, depends heavily on diet. The liver and muscles can store a ton of glycogen. Also this is where a lot of the water weight comes from. Dunno about OP, but I’m in a pretty quick 12 to 18 hours back into ketosis pattern with fasting now.

3. Strongly agree, it’s too much.

4. Disagree completely, huge difference metabolically in calorie restriction vs calorie abstinence.

5. Somewhat agree, but the caveat I take issue with is ‘easily’, also most people who will be reading this post are likely quite far away from ‘running out of fat’.

6. Rounding error.

7. Agree.

8. Strongly disagree. I was burning the same 3500kcal or so per day on day 1 as I was on day 60 of my fast, experienced little to no metabolic slowdown.

I use ketosis strips (Ketostix). You pee on them, and they tell you. Totally worth the 5$ they cost.

I'm happy in full ketosis, or no ketosis at all, but the "half-way" ketosis state is just pure torture.

The strips let me know how good I'm doing, so if things deviate a bit, e.g. because one day I ate ""too many carbs"", I notice quickly, and auto-correct.

It's funny how electrolytes are still ignored or overlooked by the fasting and keto communities. This meme of doing a "water fast" is bullshit, IMO, and people need to stop talking about it because chugging water doesn't help when fasting unless you're actually dehydrated. Drinking water just causes the body to urinate out more electrolytes, which is exactly what you don't want on a fast. Most people on HN could easily not drink any water for a couple of fasting days, and they'll realize just how overrated water is as a necessity for daily health. Your fat cells, your muscle cells, your glycogen stores, all have metabolic water in them. There's no reason to take in excess water unless you are running low on metabolic water, in which case your body will actually scream for water.

Ultra Thermo Keto
The product forces your body into a state of ketosis where you will metabolize fats for energy instead of carbs. The supplement is highly effective when you modify your diet to high fat intake, with moderate protein and low carbs. You can naturally transcend to nutritional ketosis using this supplement.

With an increased fat breakdown, your liver will start producing ketones to supply your brain with energy. The blood-brain barrier will allow the BHB to bring energy to the brain, causing high mental acuity.

If it's any consolation, Israeli names (presumably the names you're encountering in Hebrew) are often ambiguous with respect to both first/last and gender. The latter might be a nice thing from a progressive standpoint, but is particularly challenging in a language that is strictly gendered - you can't say "you" in Hebrew without decided if the subject should be addressed in masculine or feminine.

Example from a quick DDG search for the name "Arnon" which was the first thing that came to mind. Both Yigal Arnon and Arnon Segev are names of attorneys, so Arnon is definitely ambiguous. The latter's law firm employs an associate named Chen Moshe, where Moshe is a common biblical first name (Moses) and Chen could be a man or a woman.

> (a) the US is bigger, so infrastructure cost more [and flights scale easier],

In Europe at least, it's quite densely populated (relative to the US), so the land costs for building new railways is incredibly expensive. In the UK, more and more miles of track are being buried in tunnels (the High Speed 1 line has 3 of the top ten longest tunnels in the UK), and HS2 add to that.

In the US, you have thousands of square miles of empty land where you can just run a straight line 200mph train through it.

I don't think US politicians realise how transformational it would be to the economy to join up East coast cities and West coast cities with high speed rail. I suppose the airline lobby groups are keeping a lid on it.

European example: the Eurostar train from London to the French Alps, door-to-door, is practically the same, if not quicker, than driving to the airport, going through customs, getting the 90 minute flight, then the transfer to the ski resort. At the same time, the train is carrying over 1000 people, vs. a plane with only 200.

Beware of hyponatremia - you're aware of your salt intake, sure, but it's not just salts in blood that are important!

Hyponatremia can also remain asymptomatic for a long time:

It sounds as though your high intake of water _works for you_ but anecdata does not mean it wouldn't become a health issue for somebody else. Especially if they only do this when fasting and 5-8L isn't their regular intake.

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619#how-much-is...

In theory you could drink slightly under 24 litres a day (assuming you never slept haha) - but your kidneys would have to be working in top form to excrete that 0.8 to 1 litres per hour.

The danger appears to be chugging large quantities of water every couple of hours, which I imagine fasting newbies are more likely to consider to get that "full" feeling
Who is seriously looking for these things? If you are still hiring based upon what certificates a person has, I have some really shitty news for you.

If I wanted to know if someone could use GitHub, I would ask them to get on a Teams screenshare and tell them to set up a pull request for something quick, like the repo's README.md, link it to the issue and adjust labels. That would tell me in 60 seconds everything I needed to know about the experience level someone has with GitHub.

Anything beyond code, issues, labels and pull requests is just one-time configuration or occasional project management duty. Not really a whole lot of complex scary shit going on here. I don't really see the need to start credentialing people for operating within what is arguably the least risky domain for newcomers when it comes to software engineering.

This is great, and I'd like to see generic hardware support for signing across OSes and programs. I guess FIDO2 is the closest we have to that right now, but that's rather application-specific. Still, that might be a strength rather than a weakness (I'm not readily sure if the keys transfer from, say, one computer to another), and I'd like to see it proliferate more.

Fasting I'm not sure, but maybe we've been frequenting different keto communities?

Daily supplementing magnesium/potassium/nacl seems to be part of the standard routine from what I've seen and it commonly comes up on the /r/keto and /r/ketogains.
I mostly agree with your points, but not entirely. Here are some comments:

> 4. Zero calories vs low calories when doing a low-carb diet doesn't really make a difference

That's not so clear cut. At the very least, anecdotal evidence indicates that zero calories reduces appetite much more than low calories does (to the point of elimination usually). This may have to do with smells or flavors of food, or may have to do with the activity level of some digestive processes. There is some evidence (from Cabanac's experiments, for example), that the calories are secondary, and smells+flavors are much more important than the amount of calories.

> 5. When your body runs out of body fat it can easily source, it starts eating muscle. That's not just your arms and legs, that's things like your heart.

Yes, but it starts with unused muscles first, and does that before or in parallel with fat. Luckily, your heart is in constant use, so it gets eaten last. This is the reason that you must exercise while fasted if you don't want to lose muscles.

> 7. When you come out of ketosis, you should do it slowly. Transition from a high fat, low carb, small protein to increasingly more carbs and proteins. Grabbing a take-out or ribs and ice cream defeats the point.

Total agreement here, and one should be aware of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refeeding_syndrome

> 8. Fasting only really works over short periods. When your body realizes something is wrong your survival mechanisms kick in, you go into starvation mode. Your metabolism drops and you start conserving energy rather than burning it.

Define "short". Seems to be 14-30 days before any significant drop in metabolism not attributable to "no need to digest", if you are active. In my experience, one DOES conserve more energy - e.g., a friend remarked that I lifted my legs less when running while fasted, and that my motions were otherwise "more energetically economical". But e.g. my body temperature was higher than usual.
