I lift heavy about 4x week.

A lower-carb calorie-restricted diet makes me more alert and focused. On the other hand, I sleep like shit, my anxiety levels skyrocket, and I also feel moodier, particularly in the mornings. I also lose strength fairly quickly.

Eating at a surplus with carbs makes me more lethargic, lazy and less focused, but I sleep far better, and I’m in a happier, more social, mood. And of course I can make strength gains.

I tried surplus keto a while ago but didn’t enjoy it and didn’t see any of its touted benefits.

If I found a diet that was all positives like you described, I would probably hold on to it with my dear life.

What did your it consist of? Did you eat at a surplus or a deficit? And what made you quit?

New GraphQL Framework for TypeScript
Hi everyone, I've been working hard at developing a different approach for building GraphQL apis in TypeScript. If you could check out my library and leave some feedback & comments, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot for you time.
My career sounds much like yours, and my conclusions are the same. Typescript is a decent language. The tooling is excellent. The old footguns are mostly behind us. It’s definitely a completely new ballgame vs the old hackery I used to have to endure.
What would it take to get you to change your mind about PoW alternatives? How many years of secure operation? How much value transfer? How large of an ecosystem? How much academic research into the mechanisms?

Assume for the sake of argument that an alternative to Nakamoto Consensus is developed that meets your standards for security/decentralization and requires orders of magnitude less energy. Perhaps you're right and no such system exists today, but I'm not ready to accept that such a thing is physically impossible. Would you support hardforking Bitcoin to use the new system?

My concern is that miners never will, no matter the merits of switching.
That's true. My college freshman physics teacher took me aside after the first couple of assignments and said: "You'd make fewer mistakes if you could read your own handwriting."

Bringing up the cost of a nuclear disaster is like seeing a news report of an aircrash and concluding that cars are a safer means to travel.

Air pollution kills millions of people and costs trillions of dollars, every single year. Much of it is caused by burning fossils.

I don't know about you but I would rather a power plant's exhaust would be contained in small rods rather than dispersed globally and embedded as microparticles in my lungs.

Moreover, it's the environmental activists who prevent the construction and operation of long term storage sites for spent fuel, and in general threaten the industry, disincentivizing the development of new reactors designed to reduce waste. You don't get to do that and also complain that the storage problem isn't being solved at the same time.
There should, and I realize this is a bit pitchfork-EY, a limit on number of clicks to find one of these opt outs.
Windows.

Its a notable problem with git + Windows that has gotten better over time but still leads to a lot of WTF moments. For many this event is the first time they hear that window's filesystem is case insensitive.
https://github.com/eihli/image-table-ocr seems to automatically find tables within larger images, IDK if it works without borders though.
Guess it's time to opt out of T-Mobile entirely. Bummer, switching is pure overhead. :/

These days I use a Fi data-only SIM in a battery-powered travel router that runs a VPN, and only ever use my mobile devices via Wi-Fi to that, anyway. I use throwaway gmail accounts with Google Voice for stuff that still insists on PSTN phone numbers.

I kept my T-Mo SIM with my decade-old phone number (in a $19 dumbphone, no less!) but it might be time to abandon that now.
Drag&drop building UI in Visual Whatever was plenty productive, hell they even had what the kids today call server rendering, and if it didn't look right I could always press F5 and see the result right there.
You can add MUDs and MOOs to that list.
Agree but kid trends are hard to fight. There is a lot of kid baggage that comes with pushing children to adopt non-mainstream ideals or games or clothes or content etc. There has to be a nice middle ground.

> Eh, I think it will average out eventually.

I agree, which is why I'm not bitching about it. But it's also kind of sad. I have a young son, and even at 5yo he has seen enough "yay girls!" messages in books and cartoons to deduce that there's something wrong with being a boy.

It's also a good example of the societal construction of concepts like "oppression". The idea that women earning less for the same work is a huge problem, and that men doing more dangerous jobs and dying younger isn't, is a subjective choice we've made. And the problem isn't so much that it's wrong, but that we don't have to choose. We could decide that they're both problems, but we don't. And I think the reason has a lot to do with the heavily-downvoted sibling comment saying, "Well, we worry about the oppressed people, and men aren't oppressed."

Yes, ISO is old-school. But why does it really matter to anyone else whether they charge? The standards that most software folks are concerned about are either replicated elsewhere (like rfc3339), or don't really matter.

- Relevant content [ads based on my personal data]

- Usage of location data [to send me ads]

There is an insight around messaging which I think this is getting at, or at least which I've been particularly excited about:

1. It is useful to be able to navigate conversations by topic (and sub-topics etc.). AKA making the search/navigation/sense-making activities easy.

AND

2. It is useful to be able to just respond to what was seen last in a single stream. AKA making the responding/reacting activities easy.

No one has gotten this quite right yet.

Manual threading and nesting don't do this well, especially for graph structures. The ability in some applications to respond and reach to particular messages helps a little; but isn't coupled with a navigation view, and you can only respond to one 'message unit' at a time. (Though I also am not sure that the navigation interaction needs to be an entirely separate view as shown here.)

I expect powerful language models to dramatically change this landscape, doing the magic for people of creating the navigation/conversation type of interactions (e.g. automatically inferring/suggesting "what is being responded to" for each message, thus developing a conversational graph (which can then be summarized and
shown in a variety of ways).

I'm curious who is innovating on this? (All I know of is https://quill.chat).

Coworking spaces are a good “in between” step. My current company is fully distributed but four of us live in Taipei so we rent a coworking space. It’s optional to come but there’s always at least three of us there.
The original meme stock was tesla. Get it right.
Yeah, I agree it's totally gambling.

There's also the thing where buying equity in a company can seem very simple because you see something like Apple where they made a cool thing and obviously their stock went up. People just have no idea about how complex the markets are.

They also don't remember the very smart people who claimed the Iphone would be quickly overtaken by Android and other cheaper alternatives (Clay Christensen predicted this a guy generally very smart on tech/business)

Hindsight always makes it seem like it was easy to pick the great companies that were OBVIOUSLY going to do well.

They don't understand how incredibly sophisticated professional investors are who dedicate their lives to it, and on average even THOSE people don't 'beat the market'.
My apologies; I did not make myself clear enough.

Pretty much everything you said was false, and I'm not surprised a throwaway account was created to spread those falsehoods.

Amazon warehouse workers are not paid well or even fairly well. They are not treated well. Amazon does its absolute best to treat its workers exactly as well as the minimum required by law, and even then it regularly attempts to cut back on even that. It took more than a decade for Amazon to install A/C units in its SoCal warehouses, even though those facilities are located in an area with 100+ degree summer temperatures.

Also, school administrators aren't generally part of a union. The teachers are, and they weren't the ones behind Dr. Seuss. (And on that note, the teachers are not responsible for Dr. Seuss being a huge racist who incorporated disgustingly racist imagery in children's books.)
Absolutely not true. Worked on this team for Google at one point and other than internal systems nothing can get reviews removed. Firms cant do anything, they are just swindling people out of money. Some of them will get fake reviews to try and drown out negative ones but its very short lived.
MacOS by default uses a "case-preserving case-insensitive" filesystem, so you can create files with mixed case, but you can't create two files with the same name and different case. It's one of MacOS's more-egregious crimes against Unix. Fortunately it doesn't manifest that often, but it rears its head often enough to be a problem.
In my very child-like view of how electricity works you need sustained massive input to feed massive machines.

Like we need boosters that are really powerful to lift us off from earth's gravity well, that's why we can't hook up our space shuttles to an outlet in the wall because it doesn't deliver enough raw power.

> The Chinese government is basically a government of Derek Chauvins

No. Just no. Stop right there. You might be thinking of North Korea, but that is not China. The western media wants you to believe this, but if you even take a little time to experience China first-hand you'll realize that -- and this may come as a surprise to you, understandably from the brainwashing that western media does -- China's government is doing mostly good things.

Literacy in China is at 96%, well above the United States, and 99.8% for the 16-24 age group, 95% have access to a safe water source, access to electricity went from 93% in 1990 to >99.9% in 2018, famine is almost absent, they regularly haul people out of earthquakes and other disasters to safety, street assaults are seldom (females regularly freely take walks at night downtown!), 350 km/h trains shuttle people between cities safely several times an hour (compare to the mostly non-existent and <120 km/h passenger trains in the US), violent street crime is almost zero, there are fast, clean, safe electric transportation systems in most cities, there is healthcare for all citizens, and there are massive clean energy efforts underway.

Do you really believe it is a government full of Derek Chauvins that accomplished all that? Have you ever lived there? You'll be surprised.

And yes, there are atrocities and censorship as I should duly note. But by far, no, it's not a government full of Derek Chauvins. It's rather a few Derek Chauvins in a vast system of mostly good people that the western media largely doesn't want to talk about because they enjoy the ad revenue they get from fear-mongering and jumping on the anti-China bandwagon.

And yes, I advocate for being critical and holding accountable the people responsible for atrocities. However, I still stand against boycotting and punishing average civilians for any of those things. Those civilians are just living their lives and doing hard work to feed themselves or their families just like you and me, and have absolutely nothing to do with atrocities committed by a few Derek Chauvins.
I don’t think so. I’d bet that a JS solution that followed esbuild’s architecture would be in the same order of magnitude of performance.

Now, you could argue that JS encourages complex, inefficient abstractions and over engineering and Go encourages the opposite. That, I’d believe.

There’s a good moneystuff on this, the sale was also stopped by the SEC even though it wasn’t really illegal (mostly just in poor taste).

Hertz’s job in bankruptcy is to try and pay creditors, if a bunch of dummies want to give you money even though you tell them you’re bankrupt and their investment will likely be worth nothing then how is that Hertz’s fault? Arguably Hertz even has a responsibility to sell shares if they're able to raise money to pay creditors.

The dummies are speculatively buying swings, or more likely just seeing the stock advertised as high traffic in Robinhood.
Why does this want permission to read my tweets? That wasn't clear at all putting my website and clicking the submit button. I'm sure it's fine, but I didn't grant it and backed out.
That was the intention of the author, but her words tell a different story:

"In the 1500s some towns, such as Chester, England, actually made it illegal for most women to sell beer, worried that young alewives would grow up into old spinsters."

Young women today are being told that work is more important than having children, but find out in their 30s that it was a lie - when it's often too late. They're not called spinsters now, they're called cat ladies.

This is a cool idea -- giving people a way to grow their site from a list of links to something more complex makes a lot of sense. That said, and I know criticisms like this are a bit of a cliché at this point on HN, but why does a static list of links need to download 18MB of JavaScript, show a progress bar, and modify the scrolling behavior of the page? I assume at some point in the future this JS will be useful for adding more advanced features to people's sites, but it might be worth paring it down to just what's actually necessary for the kind of page it is.
You are citing a study that isn't peer reviewed as a "data point" but when you summarize it like that looks like a factual claim when no factual conclusion should be drawn.

It would be an interesting data point if there was any particularly reason to believe the document you cited would hold up to further study.
As much as the results of this study confirm what I would expect, keep in mind it was an observational study and not a controlled experiment. There might be some other factor at play in the vegan group, say, other than just their diet.

Unfortunately I imagine an experiment to further investigate this would be hard to get past an ethics board. I.e. wounding the participants to see the effect on scar formation...
But it is, because we're talking about persistent deficiency of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, that's most likely[0] due to different brain makeup. You can't do enough PE to mitigate this and have enough energy left for everything else.

Nothing will convince me against this. I believe it is a matter of simple physics. The fundamental argument is energy use provides the value and security. You can't have both less energy and more security. Its either universal computationally secure through Proof of Work, or its a shell game with big players. You cant remove energy from the equation. In general we should be looking for universal (math/physics, focusing on number theory/computation and energy usage) solutions, not human constructs like "bob has a lot of money so we listen to him."

Do I trust the universe of math more than I trust the universe of humans?
Yes.

As I've addressed in previous comments: none of these nations actually helped Israel at all in its early days.

The British in fact actively fought against the formation of Israel, by forcibly preventing incoming Jewish immigration, and actively fighting against the Jewish defense groups that were to be the Jews' only defense against the Arabs who attacked them once the Brits left in 1948:

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/british-restrictions-on...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_insurgency_in_Mandatory...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Paper_of_1939

The US enforced an arms embargo against Israel starting from 1948, and only became its ally after it won a major victory in 1967, proving it to be a valuable regional ally.

Still, the main point is that this isn't colonialism, because Israel isn't a colony of any other country or power.
exactly. i'm actually ok with a primary home being a modest investment (like 0-1%/year appreciation over inflation, but not 2+%), i'm unabashedly against naked wealth extraction via the corporatized investment mentality, leaving people homeless, or at the very least broadly overleveraged (a profoundly negative externality).

there's also the oft-mentioned japanese view that homes are a depreciating asset, though land values remain quite high, so the asset class is still modestly investible, iirc.

I heard a podcast (sadly hidden behind another wonderful platform startup's paywall) featuring Judith Bennett, who is a scholar on this topic, and IIRC she makes the argument that what really drove women out of brewing was access to capital and to markets. When brewing was a smalltime village affair, it was easy for women to participate, because they would make beer for their local markets and their family. The beer didn't last very long, partly because they didn't have hops yet, so transporting it over long distances wasn't really possible.

As hops were adopted, people started transporting beer over longer distances, because it kept better. Unfortunately, at the time, it wasn't acceptable or safe for women to travel long distances, which meant that men tended to step in more. Additionally, larger batches and longer distances meant raising capital was more important. At the time, women couldn't really enter contracts from what I remember, so the husband had step in there as well. It seems like we suspect that women were often doing the real brewing, but under their husbands name, but over time this resulted in brewing turning into men's work.

The podcast is Tides of History (which I strongly recommend), and Bennet's book (which I have not read) is called Ale, Beer, and Brewsters in England: Women's Work in a Changing World, 1300-1600.
I've never heard of this before. Speaking for myself, I don't mind it, but I'm curious if it tends to irk most people?
