There is no culture in a world that would consider it normal to run 26.2 miles with no breaks. Walking it in a span of a day is massively different. Anyone who does hiking can do it. The same people however can not run that distance.

Even marathon runners run marathons only on competitions. The chance of injury or sickness after is too high in order to make it worthy. And after, you are supposed to rest for multiple days even if not injured. Again, 26.2 miles is 8 hours of hiking and you are pretty much guaranteed to be ok after it.
Can you really be a skilled programmer if you refuse code reviews and constantly ship buggy code?

I might be an outlier here, but I absolutely think that makes a shit developer. No amount of code knowledge is worth hiring someone that won't work with others. I absolutely hate the trope of the brilliant genius coder who has to be left alone. The reality of that is exactly what you're describing.
It doesn't matter, is the salient point.

For long years I didn't really try to loose weight, because I thought it would require me to work out, which I didn't want to do. I know enough people with joint problems very likely relating to the amount of work out they did/do, even though they never were overweight. Two years back I decided to go against convential wisdom and attempt weight loss without any work out at all. With tremendous success. I understand that working out helps general health, but so does weight loss. So I refuse to feel bad.
Exactly; the government pumped the stock market. Performance-based compensation is a concept based on monetary base stability. A CEO is demonstrably successful if they are able to allocate resources from their competitors, not from an infinite supply of free money.
To me the sad part is that it's way too easy to accept as a solid model. It's so simple, feels so elegant and powerful, a lot of people have a hard time seeing what could go wrong with such a beautiful model. They then take decades to realize it didn't mean anything really.

Basically, it's way harder to make people accept it's complex and highly variable when they've already internalized a shiny theory of everything.

- go is a broad stdlib langage

- go has a bespoke toolchain with little to no hooks, meaning anything which needs to integrate directly into the build process or to instrument the runtime benefits extensively from being brought in-tree e.g. profilers, sanitisers, and (guided) fuzzers

- finally go’s “niche” are mainly network daemons and CLI utilities, so lots of interacting with network streams and file processing, which are the main use cases for fuzzing

I was fortunate to learn this lesson as an undergrad. My then-advisor, who could only be described as somewhere between "monster" and "disaster", who could not teach, could not lead a research team, and most certainly could not mentor (except as an anti-example!) somehow got promoted to full professor. Our group was shocked, and I learned something important about academia.

I can't agree with that. If there is something wrong, it must be dealt with as soon as possible. We engineers must learn to be professional and not let our ego get in the way.

Maybe it is a cultural thing ? I worked once in Germany and thought at first that the error pointing was brutal. But you get used to it and learn not to involve your self esteem. And retrospectively I found it to be a fair and effective work environment.
I had very similar experience. I lost weight with no much additional effort when I started to do a lot sport. I did not focused on food much, I was doing sport for weight loss unrelated reasons. And it dropped.

Attempts to loose weight by diet only all failed. To make it worst, there is also aspect of most common diet advice being plain wrong. It focuses on calories too much. It completely ignores what your body needs, so you end up in nutritional deficiency - this kind or that kind. And that will affect a lot and eventually you will stop diet and start to feel so much better and healthier after stopping it.
Really annoying that he never gives a single answer to the question posed in the title of the article. Such a troll for a title . .
I just did 8 years offline. I really missed Wikipedia for settling arguments.
You’re reading that wrong. Of course you burn more calories through exercise. Michael Phelps couldn’t have eaten 12k cals a day if exercise didn’t burn calories.
True. I'm just thinking of what makes AI different from people. Could "opinions" be such a thing.

When we say somebody has an "opinion" we often mean they have some hidden agenda why they raise their "opinion". It is not a fact but opinion. It is frequently about what should be done, and to whom, and thus is most often self-serving.

Humans are intention driven creatures which continuously try to advance their own agendas. So I wonder are there AIs which would exhibit similar behavior, trying to influence the behavior of others with their "opinions". AAnd do we need such AIs? Are they not evil?
> Political views are the ultimate primitive protected class in a democracy.

For...what? While there is an overlap in “protected classes” for different areas of law, they are still different for important reasons. For discrimination by government, viewpoint is necessarily protected to have a meaningful democracy.

OTOH, for the same reason, for many kinds of private discrimination, political viewpoint is an anti-protected class; that is, private discrimination is not only not prohibited, but itself an essential liberty. In the US, for the federal government, both of these are part of 1st Amendment protections of speech, press, and association.
While I recognise that engineers do this a lot, other people certainly do it too. Whenever I present any GUI work to other people (future users) they rarely consider the big picture, but just nitpick some tiny things in a stream-of-consciousness way because it makes them feel like they contributed to the process somehow. Building a UI that pleases most people is challenging and people do not appreciate the hard work (design and engineering) that goes into it, I find, preferring to turn user feedback sessions into nitpicking sessions every time. Usually they are plain wrong too, for the same reasons outlined in this article (e.g. there is a requirement they did not consider).
The conclusion is almost certainly wrong:

1. From a simple sniff test, if this were true, then athletes wouldn't need a lot of calories. This obviously isn't true, eg Phelps eats 8-11K calories a day. I personally eat around 3.5K calories a day. If exercise didn't impact caloric burn I assure you I'd be a lot fatter...

2. The only plausible mechanisms for why exercise wouldn't result in more overall caloric burn is that less energy is expended in non exercising states, eg the body is trying to conserve energy and either reduces metabolism or reduces fidgeting, walking, etc. This often happens to people trying extreme calorie loss diets.

The implication of this is that somehow the sedentary lifestyle of your average couch potato is the "normal" lifestyle for a body, and the lifestyle of a hunter gatherer is "overactive", and their bodies are chronically tired and trying to reduce their metabolisms. That... seems quite unlikely.

If you're in the US, be careful with what you write on a company channel/email. Both Slack and email can legally be read by management.

Know someone who works at a well known digital radio company. Prior to joining management they were in a coworkers channel where people vented about management, with the exception being them. Upon joining management they were asked why they didn't report on the gossip/venting earlier even though they never partook and it was explained that management was tracking all channels on the company's Slack. Those that were gossiping/venting all got let go

I suppose that the parent poster has some difficulties not coming off patronizing and rude, there can be lots of reasons for this, for example your 'nope...' is very dependent on tone of voice, some people might sound like they think someone else is an idiot without meaning to. So, it seems like their way of doing it works to put the user at ease and also themselves at ease. I suggest they keep on doing it the way they are doing it despite it not being the most optimal way possible, optimizing for things can break processes.

In other words - if it ain't broke don't fix it.

The article says you can't keep unhealthy diet and get fit just by exercising. Which is true in my experience as well - I was eating over 3000 kcal a day before I started counting calories, and if I haven't reduced that - no reasonable amount of exercise would have helped.

What's tricky is that in early 20s I was eating about as much and it was fine.
what's worse, even if you click on "more info" it goes to a tutorial that teaches you from zero. But I'm more eager to know killer features in this language.
> A stationary bike at a steady 20mph pace is about 500 calories in 30 minutes. That's really significant. An hour will erase about a third of a normal person's diet.

That assumes a “normal person” will not compensate for the effort with a snack.

A “reward” pint of ice cream will re-add more calories than the hour of cycling. A “standard serving” will nearly match your half hour.

And that’s an hour at 20mph, which really isn’t in any way the norm.
Lol. “40 extra pounds of lean mutant.”

I have been a big proponent of generative testing / fuzzing, where rather than hard-coding inputs you simply always generate them. You can see it in Haskell’s QuickCheck or Clojure’s test.check, but there are probably many others.

It is absolutely useful outside of just a few parsers; a type system is not able to catch all bugs. Just a recent example was a scheduling system I was working on, where the input fuzzing was able to put the system in states that I did not anticipate.

Practically speaking, with fuzzing, you’re changing tests from manually crafting certain inputs and validating the results, to defining “laws” about how your system should behave.

Here’s a good resource on the types of tests you can develop using this technique: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/property-based-testi...

> I've always heard that humans, due to our upright posture, are extremely efficient when it comes to walking and running and so if you want to increase you calories usage via exercise you should lift weights as we are much less efficient at this.

Weight lifting builds muscles. It does makes you more hungry. In addition, you can end up heavier then originally, because muscles weight more then fat. I mean, yes, it will be good weight, the weight composed of muscle, there is no rational reason to go out of way to avoid it. But, it is not loosing weight.
Opinions such as the author’s are often mocked or attributed to an older, less tech-savy generation (see the “not a cell phone in sight, just people living in the moment” copypasta[0]). But I really think there’s something to this, as the author has found: having an internet-connected phone on you at all times makes it too easy to waste hours doing nothing in particular, instead of living your life. I’ve recently made it a personal policy to catch myself doing non-purposeful activity on my phone and put it away. And at least for me, my quality of life is better when my mind is not constantly abuzz with stimulation.

Old timey phone systems did have echo cancelation. One of the tones in high speed (hah!) modem handshakes is intended to disable the echo cancelers, so that the modems can do it better, but the system echo cancellers usually worked well for actual voice communications.

They also had a whole heck of a lot less latency. Sure, routes were probably less direct, but if you had an honest to goodness analog line, the only added latency was from amplifiers and multiplexing equipment, neither of which added significant latency. More likely your call would be digitized and sent as part of a T1 or similar circuit; but that doesn't add a lot of delay, because a T1 is multiplexed as one sample per line, 8000 samples per second per line. Where your is connected at digital telphone switches, there would need to be a buffer to match up timing, but it only needs to be one sample long. There's not likely to be that many switches on a call, so total added latency is going to be a few sample lengths, and maybe around 1ms. (This is in addition to the transmission delay, of course)

In contrast, modern computers have meaningful audio sampling delays, and transmitting each sample would kill your network, so you batch a few samples (usually 10-40ms worth), there's delay from the encode/decode, and packet switched networking also adds delay in waiting for a send slot.

Echo cancelling with all that latency is even more important, cause the echos are hard to tune out when they come back so late.
Just curious but what would adding a /24 or /16 do if we're still allowing 0.0.0.0?
From the systems security mindset - the doors and the windows are only the most obvious ways to enter the room, not the only ones. If you secure them very well, then the walls, floor and the ceiling become the best points of entry. (Chimneys are kind of obvious)

Simply having more muscle mass can burn calories too. Most people don't spend most of their time training either, so comparing to elite athletes is fairly irrelevant.

There needs to be between 3 months to 1yr of onboarding before going in & trying to change everything. I always remind myself of this when starting new roles.

One time my old team hired a hotshot in the gaming industry that came in trying to change everything in the first 2 weeks. It rubbed everyone the wrong way. He had a habit of interrupting one of the women on our team way more often than any of the men on the team. We ended up letting him go. If he would have just shut up and listened, he’d probably end up being a fine addition to the team (assuming he wasn’t actually sexist).

What always sticks with me is that in retrospect, most of the changes he was advocating for were good ideas…
> While I think Oracle and the Illumos and OpenZFS contributors should come together to relicense the ZFS codebase under MPLv2 to solve the GPL compatibility problem

For starters Oracle would need to relicense their work. Which is unlikely to happen any time soon. If they wanted to relicense it they would have done it by now.

All OpenZFS contributers would also need to relicense their code. If I recall correctly the OpenZFS codebase consists for close to 50% out of non-Oracle code. A lot of this code might be contributed by companies where the people who did the work no longer work there. Meaning there is no-one in those companies to get legal to sign-off on it.

Part of the problem might have been that Stack Overflow has been busy shooting themselves in both feet for years.

For a while (maybe around 2012 - 2017) or something it felt like it was almost the rule that if you found a really useful question on Stack Overflow it would always be marked as llw quality.

Eventually I guess they were pruned and that might explain a bit of why they rose.

They annoyed mee too though as they often mixed together unrelated questions on the same page and get hits for very specific queries that are unrelated.

> From a simple sniff test, if this were true, then athletes wouldn't need a lot of calories.

That was my first thought as well.

It's even more evident with certain types of sports. Take cycling for example. Lifting mass up a mountain is going to take quite a bit of energy; maintaining a constant speed in the face of wind resistance will take energy. That energy has to come from somewhere.

If you don't allow password logins so ssh only accepts public/private keypair authentication I think you have a secure setup. Limiting the IPs allowed to connect in the firewall will block the bots that probe port 22 and brute-force attacks, but those aren't going to succeed anyway. As far as I know it's not possible to brute force or otherwise hack ssh with ssl keypair authentication directly. An attacker would need access to your ssl private key. The ssh protocol resists MITM attacks as well.

If anyone knows about actual working attacks on ssh servers that don't allow password authentication I'd like to know about it. I don't mean state-level attackers who would probably hack into your laptop or strong-arm the hosting provider.
One further thing - the article doesn’t talk much about the physical response to wearing a CGM such as the extreme skin irritation some people get from the adhesive. Or the fact that the CGM reading could be way off the reading you get from a finger prick test - which can in turn vary significantly from a lab test result!
