Been doing similar research on same topic over the past few months, and I can say strict calorie counting is definitely the easiest way: It's incredibly easy to accidentally exceed maintenance calories which will kill the progress.

Some slightly more advanced advice:

* Figure out your Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR. That's the number of calories you burn by lying on couch.

* Count your calories for food and exercise.

* Make sure you're on 10-30% calorie deficit, aim for 1-1.5% total body weight loss / week.

To make maintaining the diet easier, immediately cut out all products with added sugars. The sugar crashes and cravings will ease in a week or so. After that you'll notice you don't need to eat nearly as often, and as you decrease portion size you'll find your stomach shrinks and you'll feel full even with much smaller portions. Leave cheat days to once every two months or so.

Make sure the food is high in protein (about 1.5 grams / pound of body mass). The problem is, if you're not paying extra for 100% whey isolate supplement, you're probably getting too much sugar with the supplement so getting enough protein means you'll need to add some cardio (which in turn benefits from the protein and improves overall health). Make sure you always consume at least 20% of daily calories from fat to not hurt A/D/E/K vitamin intake. If you're obese, the calories from fat should be closer to 35% due to weakened insulin response of the body.

For the carbs you need and take, make sure it's always from products that have low glycemic index (rye bread, whole wheat pasta (Rummo is fantastic) etc). If you need to consume something that's sweet, eat it as part of a larger meal to reduce likelyhood of taking seconds etc., and to prevent blood sugar spikes that lead to blood sugar crashes that lead to binge eating.

If you're doing cardio, remember to increase distance only 10% / week to avoid over training which will slow the diet down. Stick to the 10% rule even if you think you can do more. It's as important as counting every calorie.

Also, if you're doing weights, consuming creatine etc. your body weight might increase despite fat loss, so to track body composition change the scale won't do. Body fat calipers are cheap and easy to use: there's sites that use e.g. Jackson-Pollock 7 to calculate body fat percentage https://www.free-online-calculator-use.com/skin-fold-test.ht...

Monthly progress photos also help, although if your body fat is very high the change won't be visible at first, but the speed of change is exponential.
I declared that I've found a way to help me lose weight like I haven't been able to do before.

Keeping it off is another story, I'm sure, but that's lifestyle related, not dieting.

>An (admittedly cursory) look at Vietnam suggests that their major cities are on the coast. Perhaps the jungle separating them from other nations was enough to make them act more like an island?

Won't stop a plane. Hanoi is very close to a major Chinese city. And the border near Sa Pa is infamous for having movement over the border.

The much more simple explanation is that the initial cases were dealt with before it could spiral out of control.
Your narrative really doesn't sound real, and your argument of "ignore them!" comes across to me an attempt to psychologically bias other readers who are even less knowledgeable.

> the social network side of GH is one of its very important side.

Exactly, and it's always the social network side of things that causes trouble when it's centralized. It's exactly our social interactions that we need to be free from central control in order to have any real freedom.
This is a really cool throwback to the era when computers were integrated into keyboards (like the Commodore 64, etc).
I always wonder if a paid Google One account is also under the risk of arbitrary deletion. Even though the prices are pretty cheap, I suspect the liability of Google is different once I pay for their service.
OK, fair enough, but that just move the question, why use an article in current discussion that does not reflect the realities as they currently stand? It still implies an agenda that makes the issue look one sided when it is indeed not one sided at all.
if you're using nagios, setup something like

I didn't. I do do IF, I just don't believe it makes a difference with regards to weight-loss. It's all still just about calories.

IF is just a hack to help me keep my meals large enough to be satisfying.
The problem is that the Democrats literally can't put up a candidate that would even be considered "social democrat" or "centrist" by European standards. Even Biden is center-right from our point of view.

Everyone they could put up would just get smeared and mercilessly attacked by the entire political and media right wing, from the far right Tea Party/QAnon/MAGA/Breitbart/Fox following of the Republicans to the fringes of the Democrats, as "socialist", "communist" or whatever. Even Joe fucking Biden who doesn't support something as basic as M4A gets called an "anarchist ally", it's madness.

I am not sure how the US is ever supposed to fix this, given literal decades of red scare brainwashing. I'm afraid that the only real way out of the current mess, assuming that either Trump "wins" (or wins for real) or Biden gets locked by a R-majority Senate under "Moscow Mitch" McConnell may/will be some sort of revolution - when there are millions upon millions of people who are out of a job and homeless, who have nothing to lose any more.
Wow that's strange. FWIW Firefox does not do the same domain-level blocking, only tab-level blocking. And as far as I know, Hangouts still works in Firefox.
There are no scooters with liquid cooling as far as I know.

A temperature going below 0 means you can't use LFP batteries, a major cost saver.

Or you will have to add a heating system, which will be a cost contributor given how cheap scooters are.
Are there tens of regions around the world? Are there multiple AZs within a region that are single-digit milliseconds apart? Can I autoscale? Is there a managed load balancer?

Aren't we years beyond the 1:1 cost comparison for a single server argument?

Indeed, that's true! Not only you have to write the tests, you also have to verify it's working, and have monitoring connected to ensure it's continuously working.

But still, multi-million companies should surely be able to handle that.
I use intermittent fasting approach. 16/8h natural rhythm. I'm not only loosing weight, but I also feel great. Anger caused by hunger is not longer an issue, it just completely disappeared. My body response to temperatures is way more balanced. I stopped being sick periodically. Every day I feel amazed, how such a simple change can improve life quality.
He kind of touches on this in point IV, but never mentioned specifically: the cost comparison is not AWS vs ovh. It's fragment-of-EC2 vs ovh.

If you need a predefined small number of VMs and no other functionality, it would be silly to go with AWS. But on the other hand, if you want a set of servers of a given class spawning on demand, with traffic coming in via load balancers, with integrated certificate and DNS management, with programmable lifecycle hooks, with integrated authn/authz, with full audit logs and account management, with configurable private networking to other services, etc. etc. ... You'll pay more than the price difference for someone to implement all of that from scratch.

Compared to this many other points sound like conspiracy theories. Meanwhile people either don't know they can do better, or use AWS because they want more features.
> If I'm hungry, I'm in calorie deficit.

That's actually not true. When your stomach has been empty for two hours, it begins contracting to sweep remaining food into the intestines. This rumbling is called 'borborygmus'. Cells in the stomach and intestine produce ghrelin, a hormone that triggers feelings of hunger.

So, the body isn't so clever to recognize how much fat you've stored before sending 'hunger' signals.
Update: Seems to be fixed now.
I believe the reason they are “eMMC” than “eSD” is because they can’t be certified for SD specs.

MMC and TransFlash at this point is a synonym for SD Card when someone cannot refer to them for license/certification reasons.

Not for a family. For a single person it's a replacement
I love OVH, and have several servers there.

But it's not AWS. They don't have the same ecosystem of services. Consider, IAM, for example. Premium pricing for a server that has access to that seems normal to me.

On the other hand, he didn't include egress charges. That makes the gap even wider for many use cases.
And make it easy to upgrade or replace later on!

Do you automatically download all of your photos and videos, or just the ones taken during the day?
One big thing not mentioned here: the massive collection of managed services AWS gives you at no cost.

The biggest example is probably IAM, which makes it easy to control which servers can take what actions on which other services. And can also be integrated directly into external tools like Vault.

Want to use service discovery? No need to set up Consul/Istio/etc., just use the managed service. Same with load balancers, and VPCs, and SSM, and route53, etc.

Sure, in 2020 none of those services are that hard to replicate pieces of, and open source tools abound. But setting up those tools all takes time.

Only other nit is that the article makes it sound like Terraform and IaC is meant to abstract away AWS vs GCP such that one terraform module _could_ be deployed to either just by changing some string value from "AWS" to "GCP". I don't believe any serious (and good) efforts are being made in that space, and you won't find any popular modules like that on https://registry.terraform.io/.

I couldn’t agree more. The space of ML and MLOps is still at a very early stage, and unfortunately it feels as if organizations have to re-learn all the lessons from software development that were learnt the last 20 years. Tools have a great chance here to bridge the gap a bit more harmonious than what we’ve seen in classical software engineering.
How does this change if you look at it on number of trips?

If I get in a plane, I'm probably going hundreds or thousands of miles. But in a car it might be only a few miles.

If I flew everywhere I would go by car, is it still safer?
Calorie counting: How do you do?

I mean, when I buy a sandwich, I don't know how many calories it contain. Not even roughly. When having dinner, I don't know how many grams of potatoes are in my plate or how much meat is on my plate. Do you guys weigh it?

I certainly don't know how much "a serving" is, and I do suspect that if my idea of a serving size was normal, I wouldn't need weight loss in the first place.
This has been on my to-do list for too long. I need to do it this week.

That warns only after the fact, not in advance... depending on how the infrastructure (and especially the cert procuring process, for those not using LE for whatever reason) is set up, too late.
At some point companies are large enough that not having an account is an handicap. IIRC, the supreme court of Canada mentioned in a ruling that Facebook terms are unenforceable because they can't be negotiated and because not having an account in too consequential. In essence, it's not a agreement you freely enter in. It was about forced arbitration.

My point is there are limits that what private companies can do. Stretching the boundaries like that is sure to cause a strong regulatory reaction at some point.
Nobody wants to calculate everything from scratch again and again. Thus I wrote a program that does 99% of heavy lifting. It contains a database of ingredients I commonly use and their nutritional values. I have a set of recipes that I tend to make mostly the same way, the only thing that differs is the relative amount of ingredients that go into the sauce for example. I measure those when I meal prep, and then I only need to weigh the ~homogenic components of each portion. The program does everything else including macro tracking, daily weight loss estimates etc. This is extremely sustainable and it removes all of the guess work. So far it's been scarily accurate which in turn has kept motivation high.
Yes, exactly! Zero cheating and accurate measurements seem to be paramount. I'm glad for some of the others posters who could take a more lax approach and only eyeball stuff or vaguely count macro, but that didn't work for me at all.
That’s sourcemaps. For simple errors like you mentioned it might be enough, but your stack is still useless for more complex issues. Usually it’s dominated by hooks / batch rendering code.
> or use a USB cable and manually copy the music to my phone.

So? I don't see the problem. I sync my whole music collection to my iPhone (using iTunes' very helpful transcoding option from lossless to 256 Kbit/s in order to fit onto the 512 GB internal storage). Using an USB cable about once a week to do so isn't really an issue, is it?

> Then when listening to said recordings on my phone, the music player tries to upsell me with Apple Music.

This can be disabled in the settings entirely. That way you won't see Apple Music in the music.app. Again, I don't have any use for Apple Music either, but I think it's fine for it to be present by default since for most people streaming is the most common way to consume music these days.

I went from 82kg down to 67kg and have kept it off for 4 years.

I'm happier, more mentally stable, and more free in my thoughts.

I agree with the main argument you make - measure what you eat, and decrease it, but not too rapidly, and stick with it.

I agree with your main food recommendation of keeping it natural: "only vegetables, fruit, lean meats, eggs, all seasoned with herbs and salt only - not sauces and very little oils."

Regular big salad lunches keep you feeling full. Learn how to wash and store a whole lettuce and make salad dressing in bulk. With those staples in your fridge, you'll be able to whip up a tasty salad with little preparation time and little effort.

However, I urge caution with this recommendation, which is against your main recommendation and in my experience is not helpful: "Diet drinks and fat free yogurt are fine for those sweet-tooth cravings."

Fat free yogurt is full of sugar and should be strongly avoided. Sugar is the biggest threat to weight loss because the calories from sugar go straight to fat, and the sudden increase in high glycemic index input triggers an insulin response, which makes you feel like a yo-yo merry-go-round of energy/despair.

Diet drinks should also be avoided. Whilst they don't contain sugar, the artificial sweeteners are so unnaturally sweet they will cause your brain to habitually crave sweet things. If you stick to water and natural foods you will lose these cravings after a few weeks and you won't need to revisit them.

$20mn, bootstrapped, remote – Scrapinghub's CEO talks about his journey
With the price of pro fiber (redundant with SLA) I recently moved some apps back to our own servers in house. This did cut the price down dramatically. I would not recommend it for super critical apps (except if you have your own state of the art data center, but I am not speaking about that), but having 5-10 servers in a secure cabinet will give you infinite flexibility for little cost. We pay around 5000$/y to keep running about 50k$ worth of hardware. It's 10-20 times less that what we would pay on AWS. Of course this approach has limits, but it can work in some scenarios and should not be "de facto" dismissed.
The author really buried the lede here:

> And for exercise it would be just as simple. I would do weight training 3x a week, ala Starting Strength, because it's the only form of exercise I actually enjoy doing. That's it. Beyond that would just be whatever recreational activities we did with friends over weekends.

Weight training can be very helpful for weight loss in a way that is distinct from cardio exercise. Everyone's body is different though -- for some people cardio is all they need. See the book Cardio Sucks by Michael Matthews for a defense of weight training over cardio though.

And doing something that is fun -- something that you enjoy doing, is key. This applies to both diet and exercise and pretty much everything in life that you want to sustain.

I had the same question.
Page-faults aren't for free (actually kinda expensive) but rather the paging functionality is giving "free" read/write-barriers instead of those being instruction sequences being inside the main program (ie read/write barriers are handled as page-faults by the paging system that the OS already provides to avoid requiring every read/write of the user-code to be aware of moving pointers).
I don't buy sandwiches or most prepared meals exactly because I have no idea what's in there.

But stuff like chicken breasts, steak, broccoli, watermelon - those are all pretty standardised calorie-wise.

And yep, I weigh my food with a digital kitchen scale.

Pre-Mortem
Historically EBS volumes were not initialised. The space was allocated, but until you touched the right blocks the first access time was terrible. This is not the case anymore with modern classes.

Also neighbours will change over time so testing for 24h and committing to a volume long-term doesn't sound optional.
Thank you to you both. That was highly informative, and precisely the sort of conversation I hope to come across on HN.
I agree. I guess I just wanted to say that calorie counting was a kind of discipline I could not muster (like many), and that there might be simpler strategies which could work out for you. Still requires discipline.
The history isn't super relevant because a takedown of something like youtube-dl is really unprecedented.
