Try and read Allen Carr's book on losing weight. The trick that worked for me was reading it without judging and just accepting whatever it said. It kind of brainwashed me and I lost about 12kg in one year without much mental effort. The dietary advises he gives make sense anyway, i.e. about 70% of what you eat should be fruit and veggies.
> the price you pay for access to actual opinions

But you only see opinions of people who are willing to tolerate the torrent of abusive posts. You won't see the opinions of the silent majority who see the stupid flamewars and decide they'll spend their time elsewhere.
And sometimes, more akin to bureaucrats or plumbers.
It's very easy to think that things we do ourselves are universal because they seem so intuitive and natural for us. I for one type addresses from scratch all the time.
If you dont know that lots of people lie in their CVs then you are not a senior engineer. (Also how come a senior engineer never did any recruitment to learn this?).

Also you must be very lucky to not know that often the senior engineers are a problem - they got promoted duebto seniority, not any actual skill.
It's called OMAD (one meal a day), you can google it. In my experience, it's something you quickly get used to and has no negative effects (for me). You adjust and don't get hungry until the time comes (e.g. dinner). It's a form of intermittent fasting.
> Are they also going to report kids that cheat on board games soon?

Perhaps, if those kids start breaking board game records. Fewest number of turns to Monopoly millionaire? Most items placed on the Buckaroo horse? Chess and go games would be better examples.

But more seriously, how seriously should people take these events? For those that are actually runners (and not just trolls), running may be there passion and doing well in these (pricey) events might be the highlight of their year. And then they hear others are cheating and I can imagine some would get very angry about that. Same with absolutely anything you invest your resources in.
Most of energy consumption is baseline metabolism, which is directly correlated with your muscle mass.

The fastest and healthiest way to get a better body (which is not loosing weight) it is to start lifting heavy things over and over again.

You can starve yourself and loose wait, also rather fast, but as soon as you go back to your standard eating, that weight will come back.

If you increase your muscle mass, you won't necessarily loose weight, fat will be replaced by muscle, but your appearance will be much better, you will be healthier and overall you will just feel better.

As always there are not shortcuts.
I see, thank you, I absolutely love being shown wrong - that's a great way to learn.
No. It comes from history and lived experience. I have met countless Serbs who lived in the west for decades, all being deeply bitter and cynical about the breakup of Yugoslavia and the role the US played in it.
I do as well, but I feel like I can do that more productively by reading about current developments once a week or less. The current situation with the war, where daily updates are crucial to a lot of people and where things really are changing daily, highlights how in more-normal times, that just isn't true.
Programming science does not exist.
I think the best tool for this is package-private visibility.

It's often much easier to write a test if you can poke at the internals a little bit, but it's a bad idea to widen your public API just so you can do that.

So, make your internals package-private and put the test code in the same package.

Unfortunately this isn't easy to do in all languages (e.g. Java gets it right, but Kotlin bases visibility on build packages rather than namespaces).
You just need to learn about and do keto. Look on Reddit. It's not a hack, lifestyle, other marketing bullshit.
It's literally eat about or under 20-30 grams of carbs a day. Everything else should be proteins and fats. Further research than what I'm saying here will tell you what wide range of stuff is good to eat and what's not.

Oxygen has fuck all to do with weight loss. You wearing an o2 tank is literally going to do nothing.

Read up on keto. Again, it's not a fad. There is a ton of both evidential biological studies and personal anecdotes from people that done it to much success. Check /r/keto and look at the documentation in the sidebar.
There is a burgeoning culture of “automatic assessments” (and startups racing to develop and sell them to other startups) that mirrors the old aptitude tests thwt HR firms used to do when screening candidates for, say… accounting jobs (back before computers were a thing).

HR people love them because it saves them time and thins out the herd, some tech companies believe it sets up a minimum threshold to cull out inexperienced candidates, and, let’s be frank, many hiring managers are too lazy (or powerless) to either understand how these things work or fight the VP who’s been told “spend X and save X times 1000 in hiring the wrong people”, because who designs these things pairs them with a massively advantageous risk/savings model.

And most orgs will just spend the money on these tests instead of hiring people properly.

It’s like Hackerrank and their zillions of wannabes, who’ve spawned an entire subculture of cheats and people who can code just barely enough to solve canned problems, instead of actually understanding what the computer is doing.

(I politely back down from anything that even resembles something like this - like the old Google quiz interviews - because it tells me a lot about how the hiring process works and how much of a meat puppet HR would like you to be in that kind of company.)
Applying moral relativism here is as wrong as it is in most other situations.

The arguments for industrial leadership are also rather weak. Russia is a rather small market and in exchange they didn't spend much time in sending millions of refugees across the boarder. Belarus was a good example how having a puppet regime is a national security issue, so you either do sanctions and deny nasty people economic capability for further wars, or you postpone your issues a few years until he starts with a new round of threads while putting new demands.
> While Google isn't a trustworthy company by any means, I can be reasonably certain they aren't looking into what I'm doing.

I'd take it for granted that google is sucking up every bit they can get from you.
Most of these go through a canvas element, which is something a browser can "draw on". For conversion from jpg to png for example you don't need any libraries at all because your webbrowser can read and write both of these formats: "draw" jpg on a canvas and read it as png, done. For others like heic and pdf I used open source JS libraries such as pdfJS.

In the C world I sometimes do something similar: the C file with the test code simply #include's the actual source file and gets compiled into one executable (together with some mocks).

Not too dirty (ahem...) and allows you to test various internal parts.
And I must admit I got the idea after looking into Rust :)

I think the only legit reason (assuming your clearnet site is using HSTS) is that .onion site reduces the risks of users screwing up. And i suppose better performance if you don't have to use exit bandwidth (i would guess, dont actually know)

Users are bad at security. If they fail to set up tor, .onion links don't work, so it acts as a barrier against users shooting themselves in the foot.

This is counterbalanced by higher phishing risks.
Does it even make sense to get the M1 Ultra? The M1 Max seems to be enough.
I think some comments here are misunderstanding the intent of the
article. For those saying TLS already solves... it is not advocating
Tor as a replacement for transport layer security, indeed most Tor
users also use TLS (and site certs) with little overhead.

No, the article is asking how you could, as a website owner, make
things easier on Tor users and yourself! It starts with the assumption
that you care, and want to help users who require better privacy.

It answers, though not in detail, the many HN readers who invariably
post replies concerning Tor that "All my abuse comes through Tor".

Creating an .onion address mitigates that significantly.

With the vocabulary changing from asperger to general "autism spectrum disorder" its a bit of a guess on my part, but in case it gets worse for him during puberty and the shoe fits i can highly recommend Atwoods complete guide to asperger. You might not figure out how social interactions work, but how you work is an open book you just have to look at.

In general, more selfreflection was a game changer for me, especially when it came to depression. Thinking about how being wrong would look like, especially despite you "knowing" to be right. So for example starting with a right conclusion but missing some shades of grey (or worse viewing it as black and white instead of a better and worse spectrum) leading you to drawing the wrong conclusions. So ego in form of cognitive biases and the traps they create, the limits of your brain and memory and all. The nice thing is, you can frame it as: at the end of the day, you do prefer being right over thinking you are right, right? After all, why would you willingly cling to a wrong conclusion?

Meditation (see sam harris waking up for a rational take on the topic) is also very helpful with all the tunnel vision and stress. Because the former can come with its own problems. Once you spend more brain power on analyzing situations and problems you loose sight of the actual boring problem you wanted to solve. Which leaves you stuck at trivial tasks. Or you develop "solutions" that you cant keep going day in and out.

For me, loss of productivity and concentration. Also, hard to make that one meal make contain everything you need.
I think the avoiding exit nodes part is probably the most important to me. Exit nodes have always been problematic - from memory about 20% of relays have an exit flag but most of the traffic is directed to the most performant relays. Tor actively discourages using the network for file sharing because of the exit node bottleneck.

I think there are probably some uses of the Tor network that aren't fully realised yet - file sharing (something similar to I2P) which avoids the exit node using onion addressing and chat applications (like Briar which uses onion addresses, or Secure Scuttlebutt).

As for web traffic, it is nice to offer an onion address. I wonder if websites could offer an "upgrade" to onion addresses, similar to how IPFS does?
>which is utterly impossible to do in a few days

Totally disagree. The main principles are quite the same - most of the stuff is either a datastructure (that you already know how it works/performs/complexity) or it translates to an OS call. Now, there are frameworks with their own caveats. In the end all languages must end up in machine code one way or another. There are not many ways to make the latter work in an efficient manner, so you get a pretty decent expectation what it should be happening. On top of that most of the frameworks and languages do have source code that can be checked too.

Logging in most languages is per class/namespace/package and tends to be a static one (static in Java/C#/C version).
This was my first introduction to overfitting. Great explanation of that concept, in particular.

That's what i mean. For an embedded scriptable language, making something scriptable and sandboxed is a core use case. It is surprising to me that doing the thing lua is famous for requires source code mods.
Just eat at a deficit. Figure out your TDEE, count calories, and eat less than that. Easier to count calories if you eat less variety. Cut out sugar. People have excellent results with keto. Keep it simple.
Well, my goal is not to know all the nooks and crannies of TS-the-language, but just to reap its benefits. There's a reason I haven't interacted with classes yet, and that same reason holds for why I'm not using Angular :)
Why expose the low-level algorithm-specific stuff in your public API at all, though?

I don't think "just for testing purposes" is a good answer. Unit testing hooks shouldn't be in the public API of a library.
Just eat less. Much less. And don't drink alcohol, juice, milk, ice tea, or soft drinks. Drink water.

My suggestion:

Skip breakfast. Take a cup of black coffee.

A lunch consisting of a salat made of half a cucumber and a medium sizes tomato and either 1) a can of tuna (in brine, not oil) or 2) smoked salmon (100 gram), will make you quite full without adding more than 200 calories.

Afternoon snack: Lots of chewing gum is a great way to feel full.

Eat a normal dinner. One portion. Why dinner? Because that's usually the social meal and usually the hardest meal to skip. Look at what skinny people are eating if you wonder what a normal potion is. Don't eat two portions. Don't eat dessert.

If you want a drink after dinner, drink carbonated water (club soda) in a nice glass with ice cubes.

Do this, and you will lose around 1 kg per week, give or take. It may sound slow, but it's actually about as fast as it gets and after 2-3 weeks you will notice the results.

It will speed up the process a bit if you walk 1-2 hours a day and exercise 2-3 times a week, but it's really not required. Reducing calorie intake is key.

- count calories (excel, numbers)
- exercise (I use madbarz)

I think this blog post largely disregards the fact that TLS and HSTS preload lists exist and work.

I got into a conversation with the author about this yesterday, but unfortunately his replies quickly devolved into trolling https://nitter.net/AlecMuffett/status/1501585708145942534

As other commenters have pointed out:

>The first benefits are authenticity and availability: if you are running Tor Browser and if you click/type in exactly the proper Onion address, you are guaranteed to be connected to what you expect — or not at all.

https://hstspreload.org/ offers the same benefits. You are guaranteed to be connected to what you expect - or not at all.

>Using onion services mitigates attacks that can be executed by possibly-malicious “Tor Exit Nodes” — which, though rare, are not nonexistent

TLS mitigates attacks that can be executed by malicious exit nodes (or WiFi networks, or ISPs), that is the whole purpose of TLS.

Muffett absolutely gets the social aspects right, but seems to severely stumble on the technical details.

>But setting up an Onion address is a practical step which demonstrates that the platform is providing explicitly for the needs of people who use Tor

>an onion address is a promise and a mechanism to assure that you are taking seriously the needs of the people who use Tor.

There is value in providing onion addresses for clearnet sites, but it's primarily marketing.

This. I lost 12 kg in a few months when I was 20 by basically just stopping to drink sweet stuff and only eating one meal a day. I simply was too lazy as a student to buy and carry soda bottles and cook more than once a day. I have kept that weight for over a decade now by strictly adhering to the one meal per day rule, and only drinking tap water and coffee. Exercise was never for me (again, too lazy).

This is precisely what https://github.com/sirixdb/sirix does. A resource in a database is stored in a huge persistent structure of index pages.

The main index is a trie, which indexes revision numbers. The leaf nodes of this trie are "RevisionRootPages". Under each RevisionRootPage another trie indexes the main data. Data is addressed through dense unique and stable 64bit int nodeKeys. Furthermore, the user-defined secondary indexes currently are also stored as further tries under a RevisionRootPage.

The last layer of inner pages in a trie adds references to a predefined maximum number of data page fragments. The copy-on-write architecture does not simply copy whole data pages, but it depends on the versioning algorithm. The default is a sliding snapshot algorithm, which copies changed/inserted/deleted nodes plus nodes, which fall out of a predefined window (usually the size is low, as the page fragments have to be read from random locations in parallel to reconstruct a full page). This reduces the amount of data to store for each new revision. The inner pages of the trie (as well as the data pages) are not page-aligned, thus they might be small. Furthermore, they are compressed before writing to persistent storage.

Currently, it offers a single read-write transaction on a resource plus read-only transactions without any locks.

> Just eat less man. It's pretty straight forward. Just eat one meal a day (lunch) and you'll see the weight fly off.

You're suggesting a diet that requires a discipline that, empirically, is obviously beyond the reach of most people.

Here's much, much simpler advice, that is also more enjoyable to do: Just eat better. Or just somewhat better, and do some exercise.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to purchase or cook a meal that is delicious and filling, but not all too heavy on calories. Vegetables are boring when you boil them. Properly seasoned and roasted, grilled, braised, or sauteed, they can be an absolutely amazing side dish. Hell, throw a bit of cheese on them, that little bit of Parmesan or Gruyère won't make a difference calorie-wise but will add a divine dimension of flavor. It's easy to make a delicious desert that doesn't contain >50g of fat.

Get some exercise. I enjoy lifting weights but you don't lose weight with that, you do it with endurance sport which I absolutely hate. Luckily, there's a solution for that: any halfway decent gym opened in the past decade has bikes, treadmills, cross-trainers etc. with built-in viewing screens and Netflix, Youtube, etc. An hour flies by when you're enjoying yourself, and with a heart rate of 130bpm or so, you're basically not even sweating, yet burning tons of calories. Imagine enjoying a full hour episode of House of Cards, Narcos, or whatever your thing is and getting healthy in the process. You're losing weight by watching TV.

I think most advice that requires a dramatic change in lifestyle (like limiting yourself to one meal a day) is extremely poor because it requires effort that most of us aren't willing to expend.

I enjoy food. A lot. I like to go out and try it, I like to cook it, I like to share it with others. For me, "eating one meal a day" is absolute punishment, I'm missing out on least two occasions to taste something enjoyable, maybe even remarkable. And it's easy to do that 3x a day when you just watch what you eat. Eat proper food for a while and you'll never crave a Big Mac again, because you can actually taste what crap it is.
It's a spicier version of ToDo app that you build to test out new stack. Sick of doing another todo app for learning experience, but this time with Rails+Vue instead of Symfony+React? Let's make a recipe site instead, this one has pictures!

I started eating on 16/8 hour off/on cycles, eating from 10-11 am until dinner time. I don’t buy into the diet, but it certainly highlighted some unhealthy snacking behaviours.

But I will probably add different dimensions for other countries in the future.

> This proposal only goes halfway and large swathes of syntax (like enums) will not be supported.

"Large swathes" is really overstating it. The TS philosophy has been to avoid runtime behaviour for quite a few years now, and while there are a few features that made it in back when they weren't so strict about that yet, they wouldn't have added them today and have worked to add alternatives that do not modify runtime behaviour (like literal string union types). So it goes as much "halfway" as all TS development has gone for the past few years.
