The worst thing I ever did was start eating breakfast. Turns out I was doing IF for over 20 years, because only after I started eating (even a healthy) breakfast did I start to gain weight.
It wasn’t voluntary. Wells Fargo lost a mega million dollar lawsuit for reordering transactions.

Technically you're not wrong, though I will point out that it'd still be running the bleeding-edge unstable ImageMagick by definition.

But even so, in practice, building ImageMagick it yourself, along with all configuration and integration into PHP (yes, it was a PHP site) on a production webserver is a much bigger lift than that. And then you have to maintain it manually. Arguably this is a much less stable result than running a bleeding edge Debian install where you just `apt-get install php-imagemagick`.
I don't know if it's limited to tech nerds, though, I find that pretty much everyone loves to give diet advice complete with mounds of anecdotes about how it improved their life in immeasurable ways, and IF is popular with them too. Hell, my 80 year old mother lectures me occasionally on how much skipping breakfast has improved her life.

I do find it interesting that a group of people I would otherwise suspect of being more pro-science would be so enthusiastic about bro-science.

I think you're thinking of Thalidomide. It took the best scientific minds about 5 years to make the connection with it and birth defects.

This (admittedly unlikely) chance of long-term problems is one of many reasons that I believe that the vaccines being introduced into a mass audience at this time is the dumbest risk-management decision in the history of humanity.
I’ve worked in government and contracted for Fortune 500 companies. Never have I seen an email that was written like Trump’s Tweets. I’m sure it happens, but I don’t think it’s common.
Looks like yet another scam based on blockchain?
If you're gonna work out early in the AM it does make sense to have some kind of fruit or light snack right before. Or you can drink BCAAs during the workout to keep you energized. Just don't let that turn into eating a proper breakfast at like 6am otherwise you're going to end up eating an extra 500+ calories a day.
AFAIK the win32 API is kept backwards compatible by doing exactly as we describe, shipping older versions of the system libraries and automatically using them when it's detected that an application needs them. So it's the same thing you call a "hack". Please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying backwards compatibility is bad. But it does cost a non-trivial amount of money and time, it's not just a magic solution to reduce the maintenance cost of something down to zero. If you're doing a cost comparison, that always has to be taken into account.

Glibc isn't really a good example, that has a ton of unfortunate broken APIs that should probably be removed entirely (the most notorious example probably being gets) but never will be, and I suspect they will continue to be a source of bugs as long as applications use them and aren't patched. I mean the whole reason musl exists is to get away from some of these maintenance issues in glibc.
But ending obesity would save 10x as many lives. Therefor saving lives is obviously not the point at all.
> a small fraction of them

Fasting isn't really that weird at all, people have been doing it for literally thousands of years. Christians do it, Muslims do it, Jews do it, Buddhists do it, and so on. A small fraction?

I do IF just because it makes me feel better and more healthy, but sometimes I fast for religious reasons.

Could you provide a source? I tried googling it but I'm getting a lot of obviously click bait and misleading articles/videos.
I like this approach. My understanding of my metabolism (and I suspect most others') is that if I eat a fair amount all morning, my body is fueled up and can therefore spend energy without worry of conservation to survive starvation.

If I skip breakfast, my body and especially my mind seem slower and weaker for the entire day. I feel like I have to drag myself through the day rather than be pushed. And, when I do get hungry later in the day it's very difficult to ignore. I suspect this is because my body is worried about food.

Is metabolic economics a thing?
MS has crossed 2 billion in a quarter in Surface book sales. So they have proved they can deliver a full platform by themselves in the laptop market - which is even more saturated and competitive than the mobile market. What is lacking is vision and will here.

The contract I have with my bank (Italy) states that in case of dispute they will refund the money immediately (end of the working day).

Then they take some time to review the transaction and then they can take their money back if they think my chargeback request was not legitimate.
I might be wrong, but I think that feature has been there for atleast 4 years now. We would use it decide where to go for lunch.
Along with the weeding described by others, this could also be a public proof of concept, with a much more sophisticated back-door left for whenever the clean up is done.
There is nothing cool about dPoS. Compared to PoS, it's an objectively worse system in terms of decentralization.
Gelfand's books are good too.
Yeah I have done some work trying to optimize code written in GC'd runtimes, and eventually you will hit a wall.

GC is great for a lot of use-cases: for instance if I am writing a server-less application with mostly lambdas/cloud functions which pull data from a database and serve it to an HTTP response, the productivity gains you get with a nice high-level language will more than make up for a few pennies you might pay for a tracing garbage collector to run, and it's going to be plenty fast enough.

But when you have a case where every cycle/byte of memory counts, the GC is going to get in the way. Of course stop-the-world collectors are a catastrophe for performance, but even with modern generational GC it's essentially a part of your program's execution you didn't write and you have at best arms-reach control over which dictates hugely performance-impacting aspects of execution like memory layout.

Some GC'd languages have escape hatches to manipulate the GC process directly, but even those feel a bit like trying to drive a nail by hammering it with the butt of a screwdriver.
The US government could make a centralized digital currency without a blockchain. That makes way more sense to me than dealing with all the overhead associated with a trustless decentralized ledger.
You could phrase most healthy behaviors as bizarre in todays world tbf.

Look at these idiots spending an hour preparing green leaves and lean cuts of chicken when I, a intellectual just buy a box of Twinkies and get my calories in a fraction of the time and effort. I am obviously the superior Hunter gatherer
Yes, with https://github.com/FiloSottile/age
I'll take a look at that. I have occasionally considered writing my own simple logger that fit my needs (I don't need a really fancy database of nutrients, my diet is somewhat repetitive, so the basic FDA stuff would be fine) and then releasing it for free. That's a lot more work than just paying Lose It, but I really don't care much for software subscriptions for every little app.
> Natural anomaly is something of an oxymoron.

No it's not. Anomaly refers to something deviating from some trend or norm. Unnatural means something different.
I think this review [1] put it best:
It goes without saying that an etymological dictionary of a non-existing language family is a paradoxon, to say the least. One possible way out of this is of course the conclusion that the family is after all real and that the existence of a work like this is the best proof of this fact. On the other hand, a quite different conclusion would be that there could after all be such a thing as a full scale 3-volume lexical reconstruction of a proto-language, which indeed never existed.

I came here to say the same thing. The improvements are to insulin resistance and metabolism. Are those factors well-known to be related to inflammation?
Yes I agree with you. Body does not go into starvation mode during IF. One meal a day is ideal.

My eating window is around 4-8pm most days the last 6 months. Usually just one meal of literally anything I want and Im still finding I have to eat more to stop losing weight.
Here is a deep dive into the subject.

Lawyers cost money. There are a lot of bad actors in the US that know they can get away with stealing small amounts from people because the legal costs will quickly eclipse any returned gains.

Anyway, in my case the bank did ultimately return my $300 as they desperately tried to retain my business. Pretty sure this is another way they get away with stuff like this, just refund the squeaky wheels. "Oh, sorry for the mistake."
Paella gets protected status as part of Valencia’s cultural heritage
From the first and second paragraph of the article:

"A seemingly run-of-the-mill trial is playing out in Florida: The family of a deceased man is suing his former business partner over control of their partnership’s assets.

In this case, the assets in question are a cache of about one million bitcoins, equivalent to around $64 billion today, belonging to bitcoin’s creator, the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. The family of the dead man says he and his business partner together were Nakamoto, and thus the family is entitled to half of the fortune."
Can’t they use the defense production act or something to take over the company or the factory?
interesting. I do IF since 2018, but because I normally do heavy sports at night, I cannot sleep if I don't eat. So I eat well after training and then go until 14:00 without food other than coffee and water.
Meh. Wake me up when "Satoshi" decides to create a transaction on the ledger. Until then, it's all just claims.

For a lot of people, waiting 8 hours to eat is a long time. If you’ve ever been around snackers, you know what I mean.
Sensationalized headline.

Somebody is suing Craig Wright, the guy who claimed be to Satoshi a while back but is clearly not, demanding half of the bitcoins believed to be controlled by Satoshi.

Nobody is going to be unmasked. A jury trial in Florida is not going to discover anything useful that interested parties have not found already.
Thought this was a fascinating example of the perils of naive floating-point summation. I knew that one had to be careful with floating-point math, but I had no idea that this kind of thing was possible:

> The sumsto function always returns the same 2046 floating-point numbers but returns them in a different order based on x: for any 64-bit float value of x from 0 up to (but not including) 2^970, the naive left-to-right sum of the vector returned by sumsto(x) is precisely x
Relative experience dictates what is curious conversation to others; one might think a curious science minded person would understand that intuitively.

I do not acknowledge your authority to define that term specifically. You have authority over your property not others agency. Delete it from the DB after the fact.

I’m curious about a new political narrative aside from “coddle industrialists and landlords who won before you were born.” How do we get there without studying the system as is? Without comparing and contrasting it with others.

If it’s so banal why pressure myself into restraint? I understand a government that actively protects servicing the sick and needy before do-nothings whose names appear on deeds is a threat to your routine but it seems to me moral relativism is fine for you and the VC cottage industry. Why should society as a whole concern itself with your preferences?

You spend your time cleaning a database of trite commentary that, by your own language, is boring. What a deeply curious application of agency.
Same thing that happened to the requirement to code DoD software only in Ada: the requirement was scrapped when it became obvious the marketplace had shifted so much that the DoD would have to choose between second-sourcing obsolete gear or staying current with technology the market was postured to deliver.
That sounds pretty similar to my relationship with my bank. They will refund immediately while they investigate. I doubt it is regulated by the gov't, though, I think it's just because it's a bank that markets themselves as having superior customer service.

I don't think any of those obviously match any of the categories that the parent comment mentioned. It's even less clear that any of them were central to the success.
The mask shows us your political affiliation. It tells me if you are one of the good guys or one of the bad guys.

It also offers a ritual, a bit of theater, to spend our propaganda-induced anxiety upon. For true believers anyway. I guess the heretics can just suffer.
The idea is you can eat whatever, but when you come to it there's a natural limit for most people then you feel full and don't want to eat more.

If you imagine it to extremes, if you put all your food for the day on a plate and gave yourself 1 hour how much could you eat if you weren't trying to make yourself sick?

For most people of you only eat between noon-8pm, say (”18-6”) then you'll reduce your calorie intake naturally. Couple it with appropriate exercise and you'll lose weight (doesn't mean you'll be healthier necessarily though!).
Thanks for responding.

Would you mind if I ask a link to your website/ publications/ LinkedIn, so as to get going?
As someone who had a hard time focusing in school, modern books with lots of text actually made it harder to focus than books with less text and more information per word. I can read 20 words and then think about those, I can't read the same information if it is spread out and hidden within a 2000 words text.

So maybe kids has problems focusing partially due to modern pedagogy? Every word you write down has a cost to the reader, and the less attention span the reader has the more that cost matters. Drown them in too many words and they will just zone out since their attention span didn't last long enough for them to reach the important parts of the text.
PSA: the mask doesn’t make your breath smell, it just tells you what your breath smells like.
I find breakfast the easiest meal to skip, and putting sleep in there and skipping late nate snacks makes a 16 hr fast fairly easy.

My wife is like you though, so obviously it depends on the person.
I'm going to have to disagree, straight up flutter fixes everything wrong with react native. I've wasted countless hours I'll never get back trying to get various Babel configurations to work. I guess typescript tries to fix issues with JavaScript not having real types, but you still have to fight Babel.

Why do I still need a bunch of weird configuration files to just get import working ? JavaScript has treated me very well, it's what allows me to pay my bills. It still has so many fundamental issues that I avoid it when I can.

The vast majority of apps ultimately either CRUD or LOB( thanks for the term). When I or a friend needs something hacked together real quick, Flutter is the answer.

Add in what might be the greatest Firebase integration, and that you can create CRUD apps in hours. Implement login, and authentication flows within minutes.

I don't feel like playing the true Scotsman game when it comes to getting things done, if it works it works.

In fact when I build these tools for my friends, or for myself I don't even build an app. I deploy directly to a website with Firebase
and Flutter web. Google makes us workflow insanely easy, I could probably deploy a new CRUD app with a login system in like an hour.

Ultimately all we need to do is render a list of items, create new items, update them and delete them. That's what the vast majority of apps do.

At least for my personal projects it's Unity for games, and Flutter for anything else.

Then again, I don't have a comp science background and I just love getting things done. I don't really care how Flutter accomplishes what it does. Your allowed to use both Dynamics and Types when defining methods. This really helps when trying to hack something together fast, but latter reffing it.

If a friend needs an app built to track grocery spending or what not, what stack would you pick.

So many people in this discussion talking about how this isn't a true alternative to PGP while ignoring the fact that gnupg and all other PGP software are a giant usability trainwreck.

The PGP web of trust is as good as dead, and denialism around the usability issues in gnupg is mostly to blame. If we want people to use a decentralized web of trust solution going forward, it's time to accept the fact that we'll need a new set of clients and usability/accessibility standards.
I had the same problem, but it gets easier if you train it.

I recently started cycling for 1h in the morning without having breakfast, and after a few days it became quite easy. Just don't try to convince yourself that it is somehow a bad thing to skip breakfast. Breakfast only makes you hungry for the rest of the day.

I'm doing 16h/8h intermittent fasting, and I only feel slightly hungry on some days in the last 1h before my feeding window.
My point in bringing up the semantics of "natural" was that environmentalism relies on anthropocentrism. That's fine with me but it doesn't seem fine with the environmentalists since they hate humanity and consider it a cancer.

> Then at this point some will object that if we haven't fixed it yet, it's because we really can't, because our current politics is actually natural, so we should not even try (showing that the anti-environmentalists can also make use of the natural vs unnatural rhetoric).

No one (in this thread) said "we should not even try". The question is how we frame environmentalism. The kind of anti-humanism that is associated with modern environmentalism is not the way to go.

Does mirroring deal with this? Somebody downloads the database and hosts it somewhere else, a bit like TPB or Sci-hub. I suggested this in my original post. Which host gets "elevated" to be the official source of truth is decided by community concensus.
This is great. Unlocks so many opportunities for people wanting to understand their current SEO position/learn how to improve it without a huge budget.
Worth to keep in mind is that USDT is involved in a lot of shady stuff (and run by Bitfinex), USDC is run by a centralized organization (and Coinbase is involved in that too) while DAI is based on algorithmic stability/stableness. Which one is the best choice for the normal user is left as an exercise to the reader.
I accidentally started IF after being annoyed at my lack of mental alertness after lunch and breakfast.

I found that one coffee for breakfast, lots of water/herbal tea throughout the day, and then eating a huge dinner and whatever I want between 5-9 works for me. It seems I can consume over 2k calories in those 4 hours.
That’s my point. OP has already said “no carcinogens” flat out
Wireless charging with power banks is stupid. You're throwing away half the energy of the power bank.
Just last night I was trying to establish a connection via a BLE handshake and it seems like with the newer boards you have to exchange tokens you get from their web service. A bit of a PITA especially when they ban your IP from making requests because you spammed them too much.

>The whole premise of protecting the replication of a virus at the expense of human life is an argument from ignorance

that's not what argument from ignorance means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance. While there's definitely anti-vaxxers that making the "well we don't know whether it's safe/effective", it's obvious that this thread isn't arguing that. It's possible to acknowledge that the virus is deadly and the vaccine is safe and effective, and still be against mandates on moral grounds (consequentialism vs deontology). I suggest you better understand the position of your opponents rather than immediately going for the "what a bunch of entitled snowflakes" conclusion.
Agree! I was just trying to do this with my PintX and an ESP32. Insane how locked down this is.

I think you're thinking of ketosis, which is ~72hrs. You can also verify entering ketosis by the smell & color of your urine. We're not 100% sure how ketosis relates to cellular autophagy.

So let me get this straight...

I and at least one other friend (coincidentally who is a hardcore athlete and in accounting not tech) both noticed it really is the food that clouds our minds and makes us unproductive at work and fall asleep in meetings. And the improvement onLy got better going from low carb to IF eating daily or per 48hrs, so we are weird for having common sense? Or basic logic skills? If brains only work correctly when in "starvation" perhaps it is you who needs to work on rewriting some definitions of words. !!! Astounded.

The study seems to say the opposite of the title.

A marker for inflammation (hsCRP) increased.
Weight and waist circumference decreased.
Risk of diabetes (HOMA-IR) decreased.
Risk of cardiovascular issues (MSS) decreased.

Nothing extraordinary, I think the caloric deficit reduced the weight and weight loss brought down risk of diabetes and cardiovascular issues.

I don't think it says much about IF.
People have been banging that drum for decades, meanwhile the developed world is becoming increasingly obese. It's quite clear that telling people they should just eat less doesn't work.
