>>Come on. You've cherry-picked a single vague line from the preamble of that article because it's so general that it also fits your narrow definition. The rest of the article goes on about the established definition.

The preamble is the most important section of an article. You don't "cherry pick" the most important part of an article.

My definition is exactly what the terms "institutional" and "racism" would imply when put together.

>>You're redefining an entire concept coined to mean what we are talking about.

It was not coined to mean whatever it is you're talking about (which none of you have actually specified by the way, because you know how absurd it sounds when spelled out).

>>* The concept of personal property and it's distinction from private property. Ignoring ~200 years of socialist history.

The concept of personal property is a socialist one. It's not used outside of left-wing circles who believe in left-wing economic quackery that is completely rejected by mainstream economics.

>>You do realize that you don't have to agree with the concept to at least discuss it? Something like "Yes, if we use established definition, which I disagree with, there's systemic/institutional racism against black people in America".

Established by who? Just as socialists don't get to establish what private property, or the terms "wage" and "slavery" when used together, mean for everyone else, racial injustice grievance activists don't get to establish what the terms "institutional" and "racism" mean when they're used together, for every one else.

Personal property is a form of private property, and demonstrates the prehistoric roots of capitalist principles.

The massive expansion of social welfare spending in the US over the last 50 years reflects the US moving drastically toward the social democratic pole of the free market - social democracy.

Workers are not "wage slaves" and their relationship with employers in no way resembles slavery.

There is no institutional racism in America, except in favor of members of allegedly disadvantaged groups, which receive explicitly favorable treatment through institutional privilege like affirmative action.
fwiw I didn't interpret it that way
> do exercise

Exercise does nothing in losing weight. (If you've seen the people doing physical labor for 10 hours a day, you know they're not necessarily thin.)

>The bias appearing to be with the author is insane enough to make me want to question everything that he is saying.

How do you reconcile those two statements ? If you know nothing about X how can you have the context to detect bias ?
There is a difference between the whole carb in a boiled potato and the processed carb in something like "potato flour". The whole carb has a much lower glycemic index thanks to fiber whereas the processed carb has a glycemic index closer to table sugar. Foods with a very high glycemic index cause glycation, which is when there is too much sugar in the blood and it starts crumpling proteins and causing other bad health effects. Whole carbs are fine for this reason because they tend to be very bulky and filling, so your stomach will usually be full before you can eat enough to cause bodily harm.

Yes, it will work effectively. Thinking that entering ketosis is the only way to lose weight effectively is dogmatic (and I'm very into keto).
Thanks...glad you liked it!
I honestly wish I had an appetite pushing me towards caloric surplus. I have difficulty intaking anything about maintenance calories, so I stay skinny. If I COULD eat a surplus, I would just hit the weights more than I currently do. Compound lifts every day. Throw in some strongman exercises. Being able to eat enough to get fat is a super power, people just don't know where to channel it.

This also requires virtually no change in diet, except ensuring you're reaching your protein goals every day.

Some lets-players I watch regularly complain about how W10 updates break their audio capture / microphone settings. They work around it by uninstalling the update and trying as hard as possible to not let it be reinstalled automatically.

---

Like I said, not only are there problems, but nobody knows how to figure out what the problem is. Just "run the built-in troubleshooter" (which both clueful and clueless Windows users will tell you rarely fixes anything), "update your drivers", "install Windows updates", "restart your computer".

When I have issues with OSS on Linux, I have logs with filenames and distinctive error messages, publicly viewable sources that I can correlate the logs to if I want to, and forums of other people who can do that if I don't. If it's an absolutely novel problem, I can contact the authors of the code and have a high expectation of getting a response. If it's an issue that needs a fix, I can track the progress and release of the fix.

And before you say "I don't have any of these problems with audio on Windows", I too haven't had any problems with pulseaudio for the almost 10 years that I've used it.
Actually potatoes are mostly water. They’re packed with nutrition.

Well, that's the catch, isn't it? The meta-technique is where the problem is. "Study hard for the exam. If you can't study, that's the problem". Useless advice to the guy addicted to games.

And we know one true answer for effective weight loss: pharmaceuticals. Ludicrous success rate. All of this other stuff is slow.

Cheat. Life's too short to play fair.
Physical labour is not exercise, how hard is to understand ?
>With software I most often go from “heavy” to “light”.

It works the same in hiking. You go first your first hike with _definetly_ all equipment you need. And afterwards you trim down for the next one, until you hit the sweet spot.

And if you go too far, you are reaching the stupid light point.
The blog entry is day 1, so there's a long way until success.
And success isn't eating potatoes for two weeks, but keeping weight off for good.
Best of luck and sorry about the comments here. The keto people need to take a chill pill sometimes. There's no reason why this diet won't work if you stick to it.

I thought the same and actually did it. The first version was more or less usable and took just a couple of evenings to put together... I then wanted more and more small features to do basic things like add a ToC, loop through arrays/other pages, add code highlighting to markdown code blocks, then the nitty gritty of fixing bugs when including html in markdown or vice-versa etc... it's been a couple of years now and I use the project in several websites I made, including my personal one... but it's still not in a state I would consider useful for others :D.
Well, technically not nothing. Exercise can get you a few hundred extra calories burned a day, which will have an impact.

But the sentiment is correct. 90% of losing weight is eating less calories. Exercise is still good though, without it a lot of the lost weight is going to be muscle.

Since I am on this road. Getting in shape is paramount. Swimming is probably the easiest way to build lots of muscles for very out of shape person. Long walks.

With every gram of muscle you build your lean/fat ratio improves, you BMR improves, any kind of health markers.
Can you get scurvy in two weeks? I'm thinking probably not, and when the this phase is done, he's supposed to transition to a vegan diet.

I'm guessing that the potatoes-only period is to make it more likely that the new diet will stick. A cleansing of the old eating habits before establishing the new ones.

EDIT: Also, potatoes have a lot of vitamin C in them apparently, however cooking does reduce the content. Does eating an ungodly amount make up for the cooking loss?
Exercise gives you a calorie deficit. It accelerates the loss.

What is a positive feedback loop and why it matters
> when we live in the safest, wealthiest and longest life expectancy era in human history inspite of a global pandemic

Are we really in the safest era, when global warming, climate catastrophe and another cold war are looming around in the corner?

Are we really in the wealthiest era when even in the richest countries of the world, a large and growing segment of the population remains increasingly unable to live independently, own a home or even live like their parents did back in their younger years?

Are we really the healthiest generation, where in spite of the widespread technological advances we have made, a large portion of basic Healthcare remains inaccessible to the world's population?

Sure, it's easy to pontificate about how great it is, especially in the West - and even easier to forget about the developing world. Unfortunately (or not), in an increasingly globalized world, that's where our supply chains begin, and that's why it's on us to ensure we move forward together, leaving no one behind, instead of taking an idiosyncratic approach towards progress.

Please reconsider your conclusions in a more realistic light.
Geometric Algebra is certainly not the only theory to make this distinction. Most treatments of tensor algebra will cover Hodge duality and emphasize the importance of ensuring all quantities have well-behaved "types". Category theory helps to organize everything a bit more neatly, too.

Your problem with your first post was that you said:

> It's always interesting to me that people can succeed on extreme diets like this rather than adjust their lifestyles to whole food home cooked healthy eating. Like almost no one can tolerate ketosis but they can do extreme diets like day+ fasting or fad diets.

They don't actually succeed. They succeed for a short time, because of the motivation rush, and will post about their success; then they will lose the motivation and consequently their shape, but then obviously won't post about that.

Restrictive diets are bound to fail, because it's like fighting gravity, and it's impossible to succeed for one reason or another - burning motivation/mental health being another factor.

Dieting is something successful in the extremely long term, ie. decades.

- overweight person loses weight in the short term: interesting blog post (for uninformed readers)

- overweight person loses shape in the medium/long term: uninteresting because it shows that silver bullets don't work.

- fit person stay fit through exercise and balanced diet: uninteresting, because it goes against the silver bullet approach.
Actually it wasn’t low carb. The entire diet was balanced properly based on what the body required. Aggregate less carbs yes but less of everything and everything in proportion.

I found myself regularly having to eat more carbs to make up what I wasn’t eating.
NodeJS has gone woke and supports Black Lives Matters. They also seem to have a history of social justice battles (as does the company behind V8 that NodeJS is based on, Google). I'm glad for alternatives.

What I mean is that if a company can get its software made in SF where office rent and salaries are ridiculously high and still be profitable, it means that the product they make (software in that case) delivers tons of value.

With that observation, whether the software is made in SF for one unit of cost or in a cheaper place for 1/4 unit of cost, the company sells it for the same amount and it’s profitable.

Ergo, software produced anywhere yields the same amount of money to the company. So why should people get paid less no matter where they live if they produce the same output for the company? Isnt that unfair?
> A pipette is used to dispense fluid. How does a pipette "encode position"?? Start what computation?

Are there actually any pharmaceuticals proven to aid weight loss? As far as I knew it was mostly all supplement bullshit to get you to waste thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it.

My doctor wants me to look into bariatric surgery but the side effects of that look horrifying long term.
> After two weeks on potatoes, you go to a plant based, vegan lifestyle until you hit your target weight

Aren't potatoes "plant based, vegan"? I swear people go from one extreme terrible diet to another. Going from one terrible diet to another is only gonna cause more problems.

What is so difficult about eating a balanced meal. Veggies, bread/rice/pasta, meat/fish/poulty, fruits, etc?

If you are fat and want to lose weight, just put less on your plate and only eat that. And move/exercise more. Rinse, repeat. That's it. It's not rocket science.
I feel like a lot of people in this thread are missing the point of the potatoes with no salt or oil.

The entire idea is that this diet is incredibly boring and will make a well-balanced vegan diet seem for more appealing by comparison. This way, the author's new diet will seem more exciting and interesting than if they jumped straight from steak and ice cream to rice and beans.

A diet of pure potatoes is obviously unsustainable and unhealthy, but this is only temporary. (IMO the keto diet that I've seen other commenters pushing is also unsustainable, but whatever works for people.)

I didn't downvote you, because there are tradeoffs and they are very subjective.

BTW I do use Windows and MacOS a few times per month, via remote desktop to run two programs of a customer that only run there. Not a complete experience but add to it some continued (Windows) or sketchy (Mac) use of those OSes from their very first release (80s / 90s).

I'm trading those two nuisances, one very small, the other invisible, for other much larger problems

1. Not using Windows, which is a pretty much horrible experience. Good for gaming, which I don't care anymore on a PC, bad UX (and I don't mean only the GUI.) And I'm targeting Linux servers anyway.

2. MacOS and it's top bar and the menu at the top. It was OK on the very first Mac because the screen was so tiny that it actually saved space. It was perplexing or infuriating when the screens got larger. Unfortunately it stuck and it will be like this forever. And Macs don't have physical buttons on the touchpad.

So I'm happy with my Gnome desktop, configured with: the top bar at the bottom merged with a Windows like task bar, no dock, hotkeys to swap virtual desktop by customer project, no animations, visible permanent scrollbars (but I show only their outline on the background color of their window.)

It can help you achieve calorie deficit, but controlling what you eat has a much bigger impact than exercise.

Imagine thinking macOS is threatened by Linux. Guys like this will never understand the appeal of the Apple ecosystem, it is beyond their comprehension. There are some good reasons to run Linux, but shouldn't you at least be capable of seeing why Apple makes the kind of money they do, beyond the "well those customers must obviously be stupid and less enlightened than myself, a true warrior of the Free Software tribe"? Why are people like this.

> BJP and RSS has effectively made sure that democracy dies in India

That's a weird statement to make, considering that the current PM is a self-made man without any old money, family name or ivy league connections. Infact, most of the high ranking people in his cabinet are self-made men like him. The current Home Minister of India for example started his career as a polling-booth level canvasser in the party.

If a poor self-made man rising to the top in free and fair elections (results accepted by everyone) is a murder of democracy, then you need to find the correct definition of democracy.

Agreed. He’s avoided learning anything about food, cooking and nutrition in favour of treating potatoes like coal. Also why is he cooking an individual meal for every family member? Can’t they all just eat something healthy and he eats a smaller portion of it? Or is this common in the US?

Four Burger King Regular Chocolate Shakes will put you above maintenance almost certainly. If you don't want to GOMAD or anything and just want calories, just go do that. You can do it in four eating cycles if you don't have allergies / intolerance. Don't know that pure caloric surplus is worthwhile but there you have it.
The only thing that will reliably make you lose weight is putting in less energy than your body consumes. To my knowledge all the dietary fads (low-carb, high-carb, all-starch, interval fasting, ...) have failed to produce any measurable effects in scientific studies.
