Except we have literal truckloads of data on calories and metabolism. Like a lot of human physiology, these things come with Normal (Gaussian) distributions in the human population. There are averages and deviations we can talk about, without having to understanding anything about the inner workings of the human body, right?

I couldn’t agree more that CICO is a super blunt instrument, but it actually does work, because the alternative we’re comparing to is not tracking input & output at all. You can be a lot wrong, and it’s still better than completely wrong, right? :P Like the amount of noise in my calories estimates is probably at a minimum 10%-15% wrong at all times, same goes for expenditure (maybe even worse) but it seems like the important part isn’t actually the number, it’s the act of establishing and sticking to a budget. For me, mentally, it was the realization that my feelings on hunger and satiety were actually mis-calibrated. This helped me get over the idea of being hungry, and helped me realize the goal wasn’t to overcome hunger, it was to get used to something closer to the correct amount of food.

Why would I need to go to the breaker to change a lightbulb?
For sure, excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) is a thing. It is real and measurable. But it’s not some crazy effect that offsets the fact that aerobic exercise is about 2x as calorie intensive as weight training during the actual exercise. As I recall the best way to drive up EPOC is to engage in high intensity interval training. HIIT has a much larger effect on EPOC than weight training (again, if I recall correctly).

Calories burned from extra muscle are not as important as people like to imagine. It’s like cardio. Do enough and it has an effect, but in terms of what normal humans should expect, it’s not going to do much, because normal people are simply not going to build enough muscle to matter much. The average person isn’t going to build 40 extra pounds of lean mutant. Most of the claims about how many calories muscle will burn are also not backed up by any science so far as I can tell.

I do agree that this article doesn’t cover a lot of stuff, though. I’m doubtful about the stuff claimed even about running because it feels so have wavey. The one potentially compelling study was on women who went from sedentary to running half marathons and the claim is that they “barely” burned more calories at the end than at the beginning, but “barely” is almost meaningless. Plus they did burn more so the whole thesis is in question.

This thread is specifically about Netflix work culture, as reflected in the old slide deck. Netflix does not brag about work/life balance, and is open about their expectation. Also, they pay their senior SWEs >500k a year. Not quite the NFL level, but it's also not as competitive (there is a lot more SWEs than pro football players). Not to mention serious health hazards involved in pro football.

So yeah, it seems like we are in agreement :)

> seems to be anti-go to package such niche capabilities in the stdlib

Go seems to tend heavily on the side of packaging things into the stdlib.

It has stuff like "net/rpc/jsonrpc" (a json-rpc 1.0 impl, even though you should use grpc or json-rpc 2.0, both of which are not in the stdlib). It has crap like net/smtp and archive/tar. It has image/jpeg for some unknown reason.

If you look at rust, basically half of go's stdlib exists as external crates (even if they're officially maintained, akin to the golang.org/x/ packages in go). Everything from json, to http, to image support in rust is outside the stdlib, and honestly that has ultimately let rust evolve better support for each of those things.

C, C++, (to a lesser extent) java, D, etc.. basically every language in a similar space to Go has a much smaller and more compact stdlib.

The go stdlib clearly doesn't err on the side of being small.

3. friends guess what you guessed.

Future deep learning hardware systems such as Nvidia's Grace system will use CPU memory in a hierarchy [0] (check the illustrations here).

While HBM memory is fast, it is limited in size (eg: 48GB-96GB), whereas DDRx memory can be in the TBs easily and that too inexpensively. You can think of the HBM-DDRx hierarchy analogously to the L1-L2-L(n) cache hierarchy for CPU processors. IIRC, even the CPU HBM implementations will use this HBM-DDRx hierarchy.

I introduced a similar thing at my work place and it works (there's a few points where people forget or sometimes there's cross over) we added some state to it to so in the context of triaging bugs.

we reacted to the original message with:

ticks - to indicate the bug or issue was accepted and we had enough information to raise the problem/issue into our tracking system

cross - to indicate not a bug

jiraicon - to indicate a ticket had been raised (and linked into the thread) all the information so far would be in the ticket and further comms hence forth would be in the ticket system.

in the channels we did this in, messages would be pinned till they were given the tick/cross so people knew what needed triage and what didn't (treated triage as a team sport, whomever got to it first saved the rest from having to dive into it, unless they so wished)
I think this is all best taken with a pinch of salt... if oil prices rise on geo-political tensions or on OPEC cutting supply, it tends to spike for all grades of oil to some degree. That implies that the price of shale will also spike - and hence you are not truly insulated from 'external' events even if you are self sufficient.
Gravity and atmospheric drag does most of the slowing down of those boosters for free. The first stage uses something like 87% of it’s takeoff weight in fuel to get it and the second stage up to speed, but only 0.5% of it’s takeoff weight in fuel to slow down and land at sea.

It's great, I've been running the self-hosted version for a few months now. I run it using a container[0] on a $10/mo Digital Ocean VPS using Dokku[1], along with other services. The main downside is that it's a bit of a memory hog, possible because it's written in Java? Otherwise, I haven't had to mess with it after the initial set up. I like that I'm not sending everything I write to another 3rd party service I don't control.

As for the plugin, it definitely catches more issues than the stock browser spellchecks. The main issue I have with it (maybe someone can point me in the right direction) is that it always tries to autodetect the language. This is fine for longer texts, but often fails on shorter strings like headlines. This leaves my words highlighted red because it thinks I'm writing bad German, or Swedish (which is fair). I haven't been able to figure out how to force it to only use US English.

As best I can tell from the history books, the creator of Go, Ken Thompson, was responsible for inventing the ?: syntax (although the ternary concept is older).

Since the article is comparing non-fat mass is this saying that someone with 60kg of non-fat mass will burn the same amount of calories if 1. their overall mass is 75 kg and they're athletic or 2. have more fat mass being 85 kg overall and non-athletic?

For the majority of regular people feeling tired and worn out is more likely to be caused by lack of sleep and too much booze than by lack of food or excessive exercise.
> It took me several decades too long to understand the obvious, that exercise is for building strength, and losing weight happens by eating less.

Exercise does much more, and does have some impact on weight, according to the next paragraphs of the article:

But Thyfault warns that message may do more harm than good. People who exercise are less likely to gain weight in the first place, and those who exercise while they diet tend to keep weight off better, he says. Exercise also can impact where fat is stored on the body and the risk of diabetes and heart disease, he says.

Pontzer agrees that exercise is essential for good health: The Hadza, who are active and fit into their 70s and 80s, don’t get diabetes and heart disease. And, he adds, “If exercise is tamping down the stress response, that compensation is a good thing.” But he says it’s not fair to mislead dieters: “Exercise prevents you from getting sick, but diet is your best tool for weight management.”

I lost weight on 15-20 miles per day as well.

Yes counting calories is essential, I had very similar experience (walk 10 km on the weekend ~= burn 600 kcal, then buy a 1000 kcal snack on the way back and wonder why I'm not losing weight), but still the exercise makes a big difference.

Last year in march I started counting calories, recording my weight and all exercises I did and walking/biking every day.

I lost 30 kg, walked 2100 km, biked 1000 km, and the sum of calories burned by all exercise was about 160 000 which is about 20 kg of fat loss, so naively the remaining 10 kg was diet. Of course you cannot divide it like that - if I wasn't counting calories I would eat the 20 kg back easily. But if I wasn't walking I wouldn't be able to restrict the calories as much. I've been eating on average 2000 kcal and had average deficit of about 500 kcal. Without exercise I would have to eat 1500 on average which for me feels much worse than 2000. Also walking helps for a lot of unrelated things.
I didn't include python/c++ or some others because they already ship with most distributions so the data is not useful
> a terrible strategy

It may be less effective for losing weight, but exercise, including and especially cardio, is a great and essential strategy for other health reasons.

There might really be the magic window, where a place is big enough for real opportunities and amenities but small enough for cheap large-lot housing, high-mileage low-traffic commutes, and ample free parking. But if it exists, it's very narrow. We have no track record of getting population centers into that window or holding them there. Most population centers, whether driven by government spending or not, either undershoot or overshoot it in the end.

We have thousands upon thousands of towns sustained by the local military installation, prison, defense plant, research lab, state university, etc. Even some mid-sized metro areas where the economy is mostly Medicare. Usually it is more of a life support thing. They're too small to be desirable. On those occasions when they do take off and become desirable (defense spending made Silicon Valley!) they quickly become competitive.

Rather than trying to manufacture and maintain dozens of places on this knife's edge Goldilocks window for postwar sprawl (that may or may not exist), we could instead choose a building and transportation architecture that provides a high quality of life at reasonable cost over a wider range of population levels.
