The food-pyramid is honestly creepy. First, the order of foods is determined by invested corporations. Second, it’s arranged in a convenient shape (triangle) like some poser illuminati cult. Third, it’s taught to kids when they don’t know any better. Also, it’s even less readable than a pie-chart (angles are now replaced with surface area calculations), further giving it more mystical properties than quantitative guidance. It’s an appeal to psuedo-science.

I agree we should be teaching food fundamentals in schools, but it’s pretty hard when cereal and soda are so normalized. Normal food just tastes worse in comparison (I’ve lost count of the number of people who limit their food to chicken tenders). If you have parents who don’t cook, it’s pretty hard to break the cycle and your food preferences will likely shift to what’s readily available.

I think it’d at least be enlightening to show people how the food is made, so they could see for themselves. Perhaps they could have a lab where you make soda out of cups of sugar (or fry food)?

Why do you keep harping on the idea of workers being trapped? There's no evidence of any workers being attacked, nor is there any indication protesters aimed to hold them hostage. A strike or blockade is designed to prevent the inflow of labor and resources, if workers left and didn't return the protesters would have been pleased.

You keep arguing as if protesters were intent on preventing workers from returning to their families or suchlike.
Diet. Higher proportion of Asians being first generation could be a confounding factor. I am sure Nigerians and other first generation are the same.

Then the second and third generations pick up bad eating habits, namely alcohol and eating out.

But from my trips back to my parents’ country, I see a lot of fat rich people and fat kids who have rich parents. In the US, I feel like I hardly ever see rich and fat people.

So it is probably a pendulum where you go from being poor and having to eat home cooked food and not having access to excess calories, and then you might pass on some of those good habits to your kids, but the grandkids will not have them. But then if you are in a social circle that is all relatively rich where being fit is valued, then you might start focusing on being fit rather than enjoying all the wealth you have.

Go with a standard time-series journal. This is about the simplest way to do things. It works well enough for me with minor additions.

Eventually you've referred back to your journals enough to know what kinds of information you'll be looking for. I've gotten part way there, so far. I'm still trying to sort out details for a lot of stuff; where does the plan of a project live? In the journal? In the projects files? What about the day-to-day entries? What about troubleshooting epilogs? Like I said... I'm still trying to sort out where each of these live.

I'm tempted to just throw all the things in project folders (because they're all projects anyway) and then grep for stuff if I need to find it.

There's a lot of accidental "features" in products, enabled by users coming up with novel (unexpected and/or unpredicted) ways to do things. It reminds me a lot of this: https://xkcd.com/1172/

A lot of this comes down to shifting the burden within responsibilities of the team. Product management having a good understanding of the hidden use cases is ideal, but really hard. Not doing that means you have Development and QA spending time on stuff no one uses.

One of the interesting outcomes is when you accidentally break a feature. If someone complains at least you know it's being used, and ideally PM starts a discussion on the real use case. My favorite is noticing something is broken while working on adjacent code, and looking at git blame to see it's been broken for months. In theory at least, that should be an easy decision to kill it; in practice my experience is everyone is always very hesitant to actually do that.

It’s important to recognize *why* the body positivity movement has proponents - it’s a natural reaction to a lot of the moral judgements and prejudices that get passed on people for how their body appears. This can lead to a lot of depression and anxiety, and one way to combat that is with radical self-love. Of course, there’s been a bit of a swing too far and you see people endorsing unhealthy and harmful lifestyles.

I’ve seen people exposing “body neutrality” lately - the idea that you should detach your sense of self worth from your body entirely, and simply view it as a functional thing. For example: “I’m not a bad or failed person because I’m overweight. I appreciate that my body allows me to live my life. However, my weight is negatively affecting the functionality of my body, and so I would like to change that”. Personally I think this is a much healthier mentality.

Everyone knows the principle of calories in calories out. That’s not the issue. The issue is the huge array of factors - including economic, social, physiological (particularly hormonal) and emotional (particularly subconscious emotional) that influence the volume of calories in and out. If it was just a case of making conscious choices to consume fewer calories and expend more, there would not be the widespread problem there is. Clearly there is more to it, which is why people are downvoting you. You’re not making a point that everyone hasn’t heard before a thousand times.

> It would be nice to be able to give fewer digits to the exponent in a double, though. How often have I really needed 1e308 or 1e-324? How often have I even needed 1e38 or 1e-45? Then again, I don't remember how much precision we'd get back with more digits in the mantissa.

I'm not sure that helps. Going from 10^308 to 10^38, approximately, takes 3 bits from the 11-bit exponent and adds 3 bits to the 52-bit mantissa. This gives you _almost_ one extra decimal digit in your precision. It's not worth it, and if it is you certainly need a more special-purpose number type.
CICO is probably valid but it's easy to misinterpret. For example, in the presence of insulin, fat and muscle cells take in calories, regardless of the energy state of the rest of the body, resulting in hunger and probably more calories-in. While insulin is elevated, the calories stored wIthin fat cells is inaccessible to the rest of the body … would those calories be considered "in" or "out" according to CICO?
Related: a common mistake is treating foods as binary “healthy” or not. Nuts, for example, can be “healthy” but ten handfuls is probably excessive.

Hamburgers aren't necessarily more obesogenic than rice and beans, depending on the specific type of bun and condiments.

Rice has a fairly high glycemic index. Nothing wrong with eating some rice in moderation, but getting the majority of your calories from rice isn't healthy.

Why are you believing Fascist propaganda? Yes, Mussolini said that a Fascist corporation was a collective owned by the state with employees having most of the control. In reality that's not what he intended.

In practice the state did not have economic control over the corporations. In the example of Nazi Germany, the cooperation of large industrialists was necessary for accession to power, and the state was too incompetent to achieve even basic control over the economy, so it was privatised and the leaders of corporations instead were integrated into the social Darwinist structure of society that the Nazis loved so much. Which turned out to work pretty well with unbounded free markets.

There are two classes of people you can validly look to for advice on how to avoid Problem X (x = obesity / insomnia / constipation / badly-behaved children):

1) Those who had X but overcame it, or
2) Those who've never had it.

Almost everyone, AFAICT, looks to Class #1. Indeed that's useful.

However, Class #2 also can instruct. Asians are much less obese than non-Asians. What do they eat that you can learn from?
There have been many suggestions in this thread about the root cause of obesity. While I'm sure these things do contribute to the issue, they are not the main cause - the main cause is that being fat is socially acceptable. I don't believe that if the average person placed great importance on being healthy - as great as making more money, getting a better job etc., they would be unable to afford the extra cost of healthy food, fit a couple of hours of exercise per week into their routines, or do whatever it takes to maintain a healthy physique.
CICO doesn't mean that every diet that works counts calories. It means that all diets require the calories you consume to be lower than the calories you burn. Including keto.

Can some diets impact how many calories you burn? Sure. Not really to the extent that you need to worry about it, though.

Can some diets be effective but unhealthy? Of course. You can follow CICO and lose weight by eating nothing but twinkies[1]. That doesn't mean it's healthy.

At the end of the day, your lazy keto diet allowed you to consume fewer calories than you burned. You just didn't have to keep track.

A lot of it is poetry, but there is a grain of truth to it. There are only a handful of artificial dyes and they'll usually be engineered to make up a colorspace which is always smaller than what your eye can perceive.

For a more concrete example, no matter how nice your camera and printer are, the colors which can be reproduced are currently always restricted compared to the source material (reality), and not just in a matter of there being some small error, there are colors your eyes can see in nature which can't be printed with state of the art tech.

Especially with textiles, the colorspaces available with normal technology are quite a bit smaller than in nature.

Whether "natural" or "synthetic" (the distinction can be a bit silly) a substance will react to light in its own unique way. The number of different substances with different responses is obviously very large in nature, technology tries to recreate a full spectrum of color with only a few substances in combination, the result is naturally not as rich.
I disagree with you because this view considers people in a vacuum as if they are receiving unbiased information to make choices from.

In reality, from a very young age people are bombarded with advertisements and other marketing materials that promote foods packed with sugar, carbs, and salt.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is "part of this complete breakfast." In reality, it should never be a part of any breakfast.

Unhealthy foods are sold as healthy, e.g., the Nutella scandal: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2012/04/26/151454929/nu...

Another example: sugary, calorie-laden "vitamin" drinks and other "healthy" trends like flavored/sugared Kombucha, juices, etc.

I remember seeing advertisements from Coca-Cola "debunking" the idea that soda doesn't have hydration benefits.

Then you start realizing that doctors and other experts are receiving free materials from food and drug manufacturers. The food pyramid is influenced by food industry lobbyists.

So you're talking about it as if it's all "choice" but that becomes a very complex subject once you start following the money. The nutrition scientist at your local university or the dietician on main street doesn't have a marketing budget, but PepsiCo sure does.
Sounds interesting, is any of that body of research available publicly?

How? Apple literally did everything it could to incentivise this behaviour. It blocked upgrade pricing to incentivise in-app micropayments. It relentlessly promoted lootbox filled games ahead of discrete experiences with sensible pricing. The layout of the store was totally biased against titles without this structure.

Apple 100% steered towards a whale economy in the app store, and didn't give the slightest toss about the human misery that resulted in because it made their monthly results look a bit better.

Yup. Earlier this year there was a major cascading blackout in Central America. It affected all of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. I chatted with friends in all of those countries and it seemed that everyone's phone/internet was working well. Those who were working remotely, continued working with their laptops and tethered mobile internet from their phones during that morning.

They can only do so acutely until the blood sugar drops. It will not matter in the long run if there is a calorie deficit. I like to summarize it like 24 hour calorie balance is far more important than short term acute effects.

I was actually taking that generous interpretation - that you might mean 21 days since that's what HK demanded for example. But my point is that nature doesn't work that way as far as I know. There is no 100% point, just increased 9s on the end of 99.9. Scientists have identified 34 days as what seems like the upper end now, but that doesn't mean we'll never see a case of an infection showing up only after a longer period.

Meanwhile if 10,000 people enter the country, 1 makes in to the community and incubates on the 34th day, and things aren't detected immediately with amazing contact tracing it can turn into 1000 cases in no time.

All at the incredible cost of already having put 9,999 unnecessarily through a ridiculously long 34 days quarantine.

So there is a certain impracticality in this type of thinking, since a human lives for only so long. A human has only so many years of his life with which to develop his career and save for his old age. A lot of 0 covid policy countries are seriously going to spiral into territory where the sacrifice of individual human lives by "portion" is no longer insubstantial if we don't see some 180 degree reversals (perhaps by violent revolt). Like if NZ and AZ carry on for 5 years like I expect them to.

not quite the same, but Scheme has rationals.

Now that I think about it, the Scheme standard (R5RS at least) does not require an implementation to support the full numeric tower. I can't remember which parts are required, but I do wonder now if it permits an implementation that only has rationals and drops floating point. Most implementations, obviously, go the other route and only support floats. But it would be interesting to see.
