I had a similar result, although without having to go to quite the same lengths on calorie counting - all I had to do was fix lunch.

There was a time when I had a flat stomach etc., but it was in my twenties when I rowing 3-5 times a week. You need plenty of calories to sustain that and I never got out of the habit. That combined with 20 year old metabolism and a free canteen at work meant that in addition to a big dinner, I was having a full hot lunch with dessert. This habit of a big lunch (although maybe not with dessert) carried on into my thirties and after I stopped rowing.

I'd tried to 'just have less lunch' and proved to be bad at resisting the options in the canteen. I took the opportunity of starting to work from home a couple of years ago to set a habit of having Huel for lunch. It meant that it was a very consistent amount of food and I just cheat by having a larger portion. I didn't have any problem with patience as long as I saw the weight continuing to trend down, which it did from 95Kg to the low eighties.

While I still have Huel sometimes, I've stopped using it consistently as I'm pretty sure I was experiencing the testosterone depressing effect of all the flax seed. A year of it reset my expectations over lunch portions that I can cope without it though.

In terms of variations on weight measurements, I've found that weighing myself first thing in the morning, after shower and visit to the toilet (but before breakfast) reduced the noise significantly to the extent it was rarely more than +/1 1kg
I've done basically the same thing a couple times over the last 10 years. First time I lost 40 pounds or so over a period of 6 months. After a few years, my weight slowly started to rise up a bit, so I had another period of caloric restriction. I lost 25 pounds over two months.

I think the most important part is simply counting your calories. You can't manage what you can't measure. You'd be surprised just how quickly you can get to your daily caloric limit with a few snacks and one large meal.

Now days I don't stress too much about my eating. I still try to keep a caloric balance, but I also know exactly how to lose the weight again if it starts to go up too much.
iPhone 12 Battery Timing Is Just 3 Hours (If You Play Games on It)
It's easy to forward from gmail to any address if you want that.
Sounds about right. Calories in, calories out. I have $7 digital scale that I measure food with. With consistency you eventually get to the point where you can eyeball 50g of rice, 125g of chicken, roughly a 250 calorie meal. There’s zero tricks to it, just measure and aim for 1500-1800 calories a day.

Oh, and it’s going to suck, because it’s hard. I did 180 to 138 in 5ish months. Started with the Keto until I realized it’s just a trick to reduce calories, so eventually just cut the Keto framework out so I could eat some bread/rice.
Understanding Gradient Clipping (and How It Can Fix Exploding Gradients Problem)
I don't have to believe any of that. I just have to find it slightly more likely Bannon isn't that smart, that well connected, that technically skilled nor planning that far ahead.

They can't be idiots and evil geniuses at the same time, you know. And maybe it the luxury of some distance (I'm not american not do I live there). So it's quite easy to see: they are mostly idiots taking advantage of economic inequality that is the result of decades of democrats doing nothing but lip service to the middle class.

If they hadn't screwed that up, these same people wouldn't be Trump or Biden fans. They wouldn't be into politics at all. They would be into sport, their job, dating, etc.
Your last sentence is a classic diversion tactic. It's obvious that GP doesn't have a problem with Chinese persons, but with the Chinese government and regime. That's like when people criticise Putin and someone replies "oh so you hate Russian people?"

If you use Nix package manager, you can quickly get Tmux working on any OS supported by it. With a proven working version with the exact libraries as defined in the package. I don't use this on e.g. routers though; not enough space.
When was the democratic party ever truly "left"?

My impression of them is that they were arguably mildly SocDem in the past, and then turned into (neo)liberals in the 90's. Liberals are not leftists.
> First principles suggested I stop faffing around with diets that operate on clever narratives, assumptions and "magic" rules, and just look at what the science said. And the science was pretty consistent - calories matter above all else.

I don't believe 'the science' is consistent about this at all.

Tim Ferris cites lots of science when writing 'The Four Hour Body' a decade ago, and decades before that Atkins had a fair amount of science to back up similar observations & claims -- not all calories are equal.

Eschewing carbohydrates (a word that doesn't appear in TFA) and filling up on proteins (appears once in relation to a supplement) and fats (appears only twice - once referring to being fat as a child, the other as an adjective for yogurt) will get you most of the way 'there', if 'there' is gentle weight loss / management that's easier to maintain than calorie counting.
It's only in these last few years that I've realised how naive I was about getting into tech to 'empower community' and 'change the world'.

Now I look at what the benevolent masters of the universe at Davos are envisioning (1) for our collective future and it makes me feel sick.

Thankfully I now work on technology that seeks to decentralise power away from these kinds of parasites.

Peter Shor:Quantum-computing pioneer warns of complacency over Internet security
But we've already established that these are meant for "the promotion of teaching basic computer science in schools and in developing countries". In these situations with young, untrained hands, durability and robustness are absolutely key criteria. It's not good value if it ends up discarded/broken due to additional complexity or a fault.
More like denying an identity. Online account services provide identity and freezing account for "abuse" is destroying part of it, with real world consequences.

It is true that horrible abusive people exist in real world, and maybe it is justifiable to flat out deny them, but account ban coming up on news stories aren't like that.
What makes this especially propaganda-riffic is that it's not just the West that's "virus-riddled", it's also Africa, India, the Middle East... in fact, basically everywhere except the countries listed in the articles as having succeeded (and maybe not some of those - I wouldn't trust the reporting out of China or Vietnam one bit at this point). Those countries are basically going to have to isolate themselves from not just the West, but the entire rest of the planet indefinitely if no really effective vaccine appears.
Thanks for pointing this out.

Does anyone know the correct way to report this? I can only find how to report abuse from a specific user, not to flag a repo.
You're trying to sound clever but it's not working, I don't think you understand what the logic actually is, if you are comparing those two.

A lot of emails get casefolded no matter what. This is enough of an inconvenience that nobody in their right mind would operate a case sensitive mailbox you would be using for account signups.

Thats a good question

You can, and it solves one of the problems: other clients wanting to use your bandwidth. With careful setup, and a low noise floor (ie not an apartment block) you could do this.

However you have to remember that you can only really run as fast as your slowest wifi camera[1]. That means that in practical terms, you need to make sure that all your cameras are syncing at the highest practical speed (this means not using the on board antenna in most cases)

[1] its more complex than this, but my understanding is that slower devices eat up the available transmit/receive time. which means that everything else is slowed down.

Reading this argument is always pretty surreal. There is some amount of population that is employed to provide the most basic commodities: food, fuel, medicine, infrastructure maintenance, logistics, healthcare, etc. Even if everyone else would go to lockdown, they still can provide the same amount of food, medicine, etc. Well, physically, at least.

But apparently the economy is arranged in such a way that even though it's absolutely in the realm of physical possibility to keep those people working and supplying the rest of the population that have to sit down and not work with all the stuff needed for survival, it can't be done for economical reasons. Because apparently the economy that we have can't be made work this way? For some reason?
Please provide peer-reviewed evidence for this claim.

It's pretty extraordinary, and you are essentially saying that the medical profession are engaged in a vast conspiracy to prevent lives being saved, which does not pass the sniff test (for me, at least).
South Korea is a peninsula country, and an island for all intents and purposes considering no one, other than the occasional defector, crosses their only land border (with North Korea). Other examples, sure. There are more, too.
Why don’t Google and the others give an option to at least download user data once they identify the account to have violated some obscure TOS by some equally obscure algorithm?

Like a one time download option for the user to take his data and manage it outside Google property (gmail in this case).

I think this should be mandatory and perhaps it’s high time that it’s put in some regulation.
It simply means that the comment is not merely "pure speculation", which as a comment is 100% worthless in the first place and should be the focus of anyone claiming intellectual integrity and interest in the discussion; instead of bickering about about things downstream of it.
From my experience, progress is a good motivator to keep pushing it. When you start on low carb or something like Keto, you’ll get progress for sure. If you want more progress beyond that, you will simply not be able to deny that a calorie is a calorie. You have to reduce calories, period.
Why should a customer be punished for buying products that are not banned by the government and for tripping up on an invisible tripwire within said product?

If there were a definition for "set up to fail" it would be that customer... Or are we to assume google is a potentially hostile force, whenever it feels like being one.

We used to ban the sales of products that harmed customers.
My father is currently connected to a ICU because of corona virus. It makes me sick to see how many people are not able to wear their mask over their nose. I live in Germany btw.

So I agree 100% with the article. It's completely unacceptable that we are not able to control or enforce such basic things...
Another real-world use case is zero-copy interprocess communication, as in the Wayland protocol <https://wayland-book.com/surfaces/shared-memory.html>. It can also be combined with sealed files <https://lwn.net/Articles/593918/> to avoid some of the pitfalls of shared memory.
If would make sense to be able to attach a $25 32GB SSD to the bottom of a RPI. Then add some kind of a U-shaped connector to connect the RPI to the SSD and a place for the screws, so that they are fixed back to back.
If you destroy a useful asset before the natural end of its usefulness, I do think you should account for the portion of “embodied energy” that you waste at that moment. It might still make sense, but to treat that energy and emission as entirely consumed in the first meter of car’s operation instead of over its useful life seems a misapplication of the sunk-cost fallacy.
TOTP being an open standard doesn't really help, though, if the only place you have the key for a given site is Google's authenticator.

You need to actively take advantage of it being an open standard.

There are a few ways you can do this.

1. When you set up TOTP for a site, scan that QR code or enter the text version of the code in two different TOTP authenticator apps.

You might even consider scanning the code on different devices, too.

2. You can save the QR code or text version of the code, so that you can set up another authenticator app later if you lose access to the one(s) you scanned the code in originally.

Only consider this approach if you are confident you can protect the saves code, such as with strong encryption.

3. Many sites will give you one or more one-time codes that can be used to bypass TOTP. These are meant to allow you to get in so you can set up a new TOTP authenticator if you lose access to your current authenticator.

As with #2, you need to be confident that you can securely store these codes if you want to safely use this approach.

For #2, I recommend both saving both the QR code and the text version of the code. You can get command line tools that do TOTP, such as oathtool [1]. Having the text version of the code will make it easier to use such tools, which might come in handy if your phone gets lost or destroyed and you need to generate TOTP codes before you can get a new phone.

>> Why Is There a Full-Scale Replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee?

Because you can't build a monument to good taste.

Some highlights (for me):

>> (Not to be outdone, Memphis built a Pyramid as a reminder that the city was named after Memphis, Egypt.)

Inevitably.

>> Tourists and Tennesseans today get a much better look at the statue in Nashville than the plebs of ancient Greece, who are believed to have glimpsed the inside of the Greek Parthenon only on special occasions.

There were no "plebs" in Greece- only in Rome.

>> For one thing, guests walk through a park to approach the Tennessee version—perhaps after grabbing a quick lunch at a Wendy’s nearby—and they encounter it from the building’s side or front.

Ah, visiting replicas of ancient wonders while snacking on Wendy's. Peak modern era.

>> So while it feels odd to write this, it’s true: You haven’t really seen the Parthenon until you’ve been to Nashville, Tennessee.

Just as true: you haven't seen the Pyramids until you have watched The Mummy.

> Where do you take your assumption?

Simply by comparing my graphics demos running on my 13" MBP versus a recent iPhone or iPad Pro. The i-devices are usually slightly ahead (okay, my MBP is 5 years old by now, but progress has been slower on the Mac side than on the iPhone side).

It might not just be about fillrate though, I'm also seeing much higher drawcall throughput with Metal on iOS devices versus running Metal on Macs with Intel GPU. I guess the entire graphics stack is much better optimized on iOS.

My self-help guide to making sense of a confusing world
Speaking of mute/unmute I've not yet found a way to get Google Hangouts (same thing as Meet?) to play nice in situations where simultaneous interpretation is involved. Our company works in Japanese and English and we typically have a second meeting running in parallel for interpretation. This setup almost works, I say almost because I've yet to find a way of muting the audio in one meeting so I can properly listen to the other. I can't leave the first meeting either because often I'll also want to see the presentation slides. Currently I'm working around this by muting my MacBook and joining the second meeting on my phone.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious (or a Chrome plugin that will allow me to mute based on the page URL rather than site). In the unlikely event that a Googler is reading this I'm not asking for yet another product or complicated new piece of functionality aimed at this specific use case. Just a mute button for audio. Thanks!
I don’t understand this complaint.

Components are functions of their props and state, returning markup (in the form of a descriptor foe the rendering engine). When a prop or piece of state changes, the component must re-render. The fact that useState might be responsible isn’t relevant.

That said, I’m also still struggling with hooks (and I like functional programming in JS). I want to like that hooks let you wrap your domain logic into neat bundles, but I find that I miss the lifecycle callbacks of the older class based style.

Hooks based components are trying to make modules that are “about” the problem domain they illustrate, but they do it as a feature of React. React isn’t about your problem domain, it’s about driving the DOM and rendering, and I think it makes more sense to treat React code that way.

I’m open to having my mind changed on this. I have spent way more time writing classical React than hooks-based.
SD cards with wear leveling and error correction are hard to find and can easily be more expensive than similar SSDs.
Though it depends where you are, busses don't have the space to carry a lot of people with foldables. They'd need to be redesigned for such. I saw a Xiaomi foldable e-bike announced the other day for 1k USD, but then I saw this already exists. There's a lot of people driving around on 2-wheel e-bike (non foldable) as well these days. Today I even saw a kid on one going to school.
then again, the strongly and weakly typed monikers have no defined meaning and people will argue endlessly about definitions to the point that have very little value.

When I was working at Google, I got locked out of an account, luckily one I had used for a band that wasn't active anymore.

I had barely used the account for months, and all of it was, "Thanks for your interest, here's our music, we don't play anymore."

Even working there, I wasn't able to get it turned back on or get any explanation as to what had happened.

I didn't really care. If it had been my prime email account, I would have cared.

I see this as theft. It's not like Google ever throws anything away, so if they cancel your account, they are literally stealing your data from you.

We can't force Google to give service to people they don't want to, but they should be transparent about it, and at the very, very least, there needs to be a way for you to retrieve all of your information if they close your account.

In a government of laws that tried to protect the average person, this would have been a given. Unfortunately, America has never had that.
As soon as the internet came along out came that damn let's rent everything mentality. The internet allowed vendors to lock users in to renal agreements as they're a much more profitable business models. Never mind the fact that the rental model doesn't guarantee you better software - in value for money terms, you'd be better off having stuck with traditional upgrades.

Remember, this model has been around for yonks. Go away on holidays and you've turned the power and gas off beforehand and you still have to pay a connection fee even though you've used nothing - and despite the fact that the wires and pipes to you house were fully amortized many decades ago. Same goes for phone and internet services.

Right, it's a ripoff, that's why I use open software whenever and wherever possible.
I would argue that this is because men in general prefer slightly younger women.

It takes two to tango. Your assumption de facto dismisses the choice of the woman in the relationship, as if her opinion is irrelevant.

I think there are multiple factors involved in that trend, one of which is that women tend to be more socially savvy than men. I think women tend to prefer men who are a little older because, on average, a man needs to be a little older to have a similar level of social savvy and this is a critical detail for a personal relationship.

There are other things in your comment that I don't agree with. But I don't care to elaborate, so this is where we get to "agree to disagree" I guess.

Thank you for actually discussing the details of the article with me.

And yet more nuance - the density of major cities in both Europe and Australia are reasonably comparable, so concentrating on those rather than towns / rural / empty areas does provide some information.

Sure, the environment will be slightly different and local travel changes things. But most Londoners and most Melbournians don't move that much. (Try to invite someone to zone 5) They'll have mostly-local interactions and similar social activity circles.

My 'trick' is to use a smaller plate than everyone else and resist the temptation to pile it high. I'm not losing weight quickly but keeping it down and dropping slowly without any stress.

I did some calorie counting at the beginning but dropped it once I had convinced myself that I was indeed eating fewer calories.

One other thing I do is to delay breakfast until after I have done my morning walk. Experience tells me that my appetite will be sharpened by the exercise so I will be tempted to eat again. So getting dressed and walking straight out of the house for an hour of brisk walking saves me that temptation or perhaps puts it to good use.

But well done, whatever works is good.
