I wouldn't actually recommend it, but One Meal a Day Diet(OMAD) actually made me lose weight. It required less discipline than other diets. You have 1 hour to eat you calories and nutrients. After that you don't eat. There's no question if a snack is allowed or not.

You have to pretty smart and make sure those calaries are high quality.

It caused me issues in that its completely changed my appetite. And now that I've reached my target weight, I'm having a hard time keeping weight on even not doing OMAD. It was like hitting the reset button on my desire for food.
It seems that most people miss the point.

The software we create is a direct reflection of the problem that is being solved. If you are hired by a small 3 person startup company to help them build an MVP on a budget for an untested business model, then you _should_ expect garbage, because that is precisely what is being asked/paid for.

Writing systems software for flight controls or similar use case where loss of life might occur? Well then you are _still_ being persuaded by a project manager and senior leadership to find a balance between cost and quality... but since lawsuits get more expensive when lives are lost, you have more quality control (yes, ethics should be more important than money, but that is not the case).

The _business_ makes the bulk of the decision on quality and safety, NOT the person in front of the keyboard. In most cases (web, e-commerce, SaaS, games, etc.), there is more business value to be had from releasing buggy garbage _fast_ rather than thoughtful and well tested features. You can always roll out a fix next sprint.

Our profession _is_ full of immature practitioners, and it has a long way to go if we are going to fix this, but there are powerful market forces at play currently and for the vast majority of us it makes more sense to _swim with the current_ and extract as much value from your career as possible... and if we can be spoiled brats that demand more vacation and free food/drinks, why not?

It's difficult to say which is better, 20 years ago we were more professional, but today we have a lot more leverage. I miss the professional attitudes and behaviour, but I've gotten used to the outsized compensation and easy job market, and in all honesty, wouldn't turn back. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
There are lots of cheaters (and worse) out there with "wonderful" reputations.

Not sure what it should do, but after installing it it just did nothing on a few German news sites I tested it on. It also did nothing on my own site (using klaro.js). I would still have to click and do the same steps that I would have done without the plugin.

No idea what should have been the effect.
Computer science is only vaguely related to programming, in roughly the same way that the travelling salesman problem is related to actually travelling salesmen.

(I personally hold that there are only three CS courses relevant to daily programmer life: graph theory, complexity analysis and state machines. Everything else is at best situational.)
Lots of languages have that problem. Both C++ and Rust makes you repeat the same identifier/literal over and over unnecessarily. The C++ language at least has an excuse: it was designed in an era where separate compilation was critical because of limited memory. Compilers were expected to work with just hundreds of kilobytes of RAM! But Rust has no such excuse, as it was designed in an era where 100% of its user were on 64-bit platforms.
More intelligent search would be a huge bonus. I frequently search for text and it turns out that it's hidden on the page, but there's no indication of that in the search results, so it manifests as just a weird 'phantom' hit I have to skip past.
Why We Eat (Too Much): The New Science of Appetite, by Andrew Jenkinson

Lambda makes Proc instances because Ruby is purely OO and every value you can get is an object. It might be nice if there were syntax that allowed you to treat an object as if it was a method, but it'd be tricky because of other Ruby syntax.

> Ah yeah Proc a bit like lambda but also not really.

lambda/-> creates a Proc instance (with an appropriate flag set). The distinction between lambda vs (lower case) "proc" is tricky until you consider that a "proc" is effectively just a shortcut to return a block as a value. The semantics of a block reified into a Proc instance by giving it a name, and a Proc instance created with "proc" are the same.

So you could implement your own "proc":

def make_proc(&block)
block
end

(in fact the above example is from the Ruby docs)
The energy has to come from somewhere.
So you find yourself altering your behavior because you're afraid of the consequences of your actions?

That's called being part of society. You're not being "canceled". You've just ignored all the feedback loops and society decided you're no longer worth the effort.

The base components of many plastics, e.g. polypropylene, polyethylene, acrylic glass, are perfectly safe for food contact.

The problem is that all plastics contain various additives, which are normally not disclosed by the manufacturer, even in the plastic grades that are approved for food contact.

The risks caused by unknown plastic additives are especially large when the plastics are used above room temperature, e.g. for heating food in a microwave oven.

Storing food in polypropylene vessels or polyethylene bags in a refrigerator is likely to be perfectly safe.

Eat less. But here's the thing that people somehow seem to miss: that means it's a battle with your appetite. So focus on things that reduce your appetite, or don't increase it.

Bad carbs, that turn into sugar in your body, will stimulate appetite. When farmers want to fatten up pigs, they give them carbs. Avoid sugar, white bread, etc. Go for low glycemic breads.

Exercise has a lot of benefits and you should definitely exercise. It burns calories, but also stimulates appetite, so for weight loss, it's a wash. Sadly, exercise won't help you lose weight. But you should still do it for other reasons.

Fatty foods will actually make you feel full, so can be good. Snack on nuts. Eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, if you get jelly without added sugar and use it sparingly, on low glycemic bread.

In the end, you also need to up your mental tolerance for feeling hungry. Try to train your brain to be ok with feeling a little hungry, not eating at the first sign of hunger.
The obvious answer is "eat less". If you can do that, great! Most people have trouble.

The thing is, we evolved to have homeostatic regulation of our food-seeking behaviors. That means we have a set of unconscious impulses that guide most of our decisions for when and how much to eat. We didn't evolve to use executive function, and only executive function, to decide how much to eat. And if we fight those impulses, we're fighting ourselves.

Obviously, the problem isn't simple. Otherwise, everyone would be at their ideal weight! So what can we do?

Instead of fighting against your instincts, manipulate them. Why do we get those impulses to eat too much? In a modern environment, we have easy access to hyperpalatable food – in other words, junk food. It's highly rewarding for very little effort, so your brain not only tells you to eat more of it at once, it also tells you to seek it out more often.

But how do we manipulate our food-seeking impulses? By changing your food environment. Don't surround yourself with junk food. Choose to surround yourself with healthier foods, and choose to eat foods that require some effort to obtain or prepare. If you don't have time to cook, make time. You'll feel full after fewer calories, and your food seeking behaviors will naturally change. Don't do anything crazy, just eat healthy foods in sensible combinations.

Now, you can certainly throw some self-control into the equation. And if you can't fully control your food environment, you'll have to. But if you keep your self in the same food environment that got you fat and try to lose weight entirely through self-control, statistically your odds of success are quite low.

This is my answer. Your answer may be different, but this is what worked for me.
I've started donating blood a while ago, every time you have to fill in a questionnaire which includes questions about drug use and sex with men (or sex with women who have had sex with men who have had sex with men). I don't know the consequences of filling in a 'yes' on that one; it might just mean they will do an extra screening for STD's given a higher prevalence of STD's in the gay community (at least historically; I don't know if this is still a thing. I have heard of incidents where people go around poking people with a needle to try and intentionally give them HIV in gay clubs).

That said, you are also barred from donating blood here if you have been in the UK for 26 weeks or longer from 1980 - 1996 (e.g. you lived there or you went on vacation there for a total time of 26 weeks or more).
Self loathing.

You do not deserve to eat to excess. You deserve the discomfort of eternally unfulfilled hunger.

You deserve the pain of exercise, and the struggle of lifting weights, and the only thing you can look forward to, if you get comfortable with the current weight you're lifting, is adding more weight.

I can't recommend it though as the cons far outweigh the pros.

Lifting weights though, do it, but start slowly to develop technique without risking injury. Make a habit of it.
This topic raises a few good points. From now on, I'll talk about (programming) language ecosystems instead of programming languages. Learning a new language ecosystem or a new paradigm takes some time. Though, I've also noticed, the more ecosystems you know, the easier it becomes!

E.g. learning your second web framework.

Routes are now called actions.

Whatever you wrote in a route is now called a controller.

A controller calls different things that has different layers of abstractions, most have to do with business logic.

You can take a guess which language ecosystems I'm talking about.

Of course, the experience is subjective and people were also using controllers in my former language ecosystem, but I never truly got to that point.

Is most definitely a no.

Oddly enough, Reddit seems to be the best for footage, with Telegram likely coming second.

As for analysis, Twitter without a doubt. Is there a load of absolute horse shit? Of course. If you don’t know how to detour that, you shouldn’t care much in the first place.

The only good thing that has come out of 4chan regarding this war is the cope cage. That is indeed hilarious.

There’s no magic. I tried “better habits” including using a bike for literally all transit, no candy, gym three times a week, etc. with zero effect on my weight. Then I just started counting calories using an app and hitting a calorie target. Bam, 15 kg off.

The challenge is “will power” at the start, but you adapt. Part of adaptation is getting accustomed to new feelings and part of it is learning how different foods effect your sense of satiation.

When I would be too hungry, I would go ahead and eat, but still count everything and then the next day I would experiment with different foods.

Through part of it I remember hitting a very low carb target (under ten percent) and this working for me.

I used an app, Fat Secret, which has a good product database for Poland, and I would actually just not eat things if they’re hard to count. So my diet would need to be more “legible” and so, ironically, I could eat McDonald’s but not other places because its food was better documented.

Once I hit my target I changed my diet to bulk deliberately (I am weight training) but I still count everything. It’s just different targets. (Learning to use free weights and lift is it’s own adventure. I recommend.)

I have to say a positive and surprising part of the experience is women blowing smoke up my ass about it. My pet theory is that basically everyone now lives like a 90s “nerd”, binge watching Star Trek with a six pack of beer, so if you put literally any effort into your body and clothing, you’re ahead of everyone.
Can also make sense if this is cheaper than batteries.

Electrolytic hydrogen is so easy I did it when I was nine years old — the only reason I powered the reaction using a battery instead of PV was that back in 1992, PV wasn't something a kid could easily get hold of with pocket money.
Each time I gain weight, it's indeed a LOT easier for me to skip some meals and get back to where I want to be, rather than eating less or better.

Just 1 data point confirming the parent post.
The old saying about you lose weight in the kitchen not the gym is absolutely true for me.

If I exercise I feel great but the more I do the more I eat, because it makes me hungry and I justify eating more because I'm working out.

In the first month of our first lockdown I lost 15lb with virtually no exercise, just cutting out the snacks/beer/sugar and measuring my portions.
No sadistic bully will ever admit "I harass this man because I get a charge out of inflicting cruelty", maybe not even to themself. No. It will always be "because he deserved it". It helps if there is a mob of other sadistic bullies egging each other on, reassuring each other that it's fine. That this is justice.

You know there are other people who "deserve to be exposed and humiliated" even more than elderly marathon cheaters, right? Putin, for instance? Taliban? But they are out of reach, and too powerful. Too dangerous to keyboard warriors, to be honest.

Much easier to go after elderly marathon cheaters. Don't you agree?
Languages are easy. It's the incredible rube goldberg machinery surrounding compilers, build pipelines and tooling that's hard to learn.
But for languages that aren't written by lunatics even the standard library will have considerable consistency in how it does things, and a modern development environment can smooth over the difference, if I can't remember whether this language's vector container calls it "push()" or "push_back()" that's probably offered as an auto-completion when I hesitate. In a language like C# you already know the language's designers love Title-Case and didn't want you to know anything about data structures so no surprise it's just named Add()

This is less true for something like PHP that was just cobbled together from whatever was to hand with no aesthetic or design principle but that's a rare case, I actually can't think of any other widely used language that exhibits this behaviour.

I would guess I was maybe 80-90% productive in C# after only a few months with it, because of existing familiarity with a bunch of semi-colon languages including Java. Certainly enough to keep up with people who'd used it for years but for whom programming isn't a passion.
If he wasn't competing he could have just raced without a bib, or just run around town on his own at 5am, nobody would have cared about his teleporting.

As you have said, the problem with magnesium is that it corrodes too easily, so it is not used, even if it is perfectly safe for food contact.
Hidden services are very easy to configure (the basic config, if you want to be as anonym as possible you have to do more). Install tor, add a few lines to config, done. And: You don't have to change your firewall settings at all. Nothing is exposed to the clearnet.

You can also make your service be accessible only to certain clients which have a certificate. I consider this very secure.

Learn to love broccoli. Eat it raw as a snack instead of potato chips, perhaps with a small serving of some dip if you must. It's the best way to feel full without cheating your calorie budget.
I went to grad school because a) the company paid for it, and b) it looked like a way out of tech support and into more interesting work. A masters in computer science looked better on the resume than a long-ago bachelors in liberal arts. And there were things I learned that paid off down the road.
Drink water when feeling hungry. Not kidding.

It's not.

At least not if the developers didn't live in a bubble only caring for and looking at one language for most of their carrier.
Good point. Of course, one may retort that Turing also contributed to the second perspective. Sure, his work at Bletchley Park was secret for a while, but

Substitute things. I love food. But I try to replace things, especially sugar related.

For example. I love McDonald’s. But I don’t drink the coke. I have water instead. If I buy a coke while at 711, I get the smallest can.

I lost 20kg over 2 years just by cutting down on sugar or replacing some items so I could continue to eat what I love.

COVID has messed me up tho, since I no longer walk to work or go out as often :(

I see this as the main tension in the extracting-class viewpoint. Assuming your language allows it, you can extract out a class that's still private to the current package, meaning that the public API is unchanged. But there are costs to extracting out that class.

I don't see why the class needs to be extracted in that case. If it makes the code easier to follow, do it; if it adds bloat and boilerplate, don't do it.

The key thing is the ability to expose stuff for testing only, not in the public API. Depending on the language, you might not need to extract a class at all -- just make some fields or methods package-private.

I guess if your language doesn't provide a way of doing that, extracting a class is a reasonable workaround because you can segregate your public API into high-level and low-level parts, and recommend that end users avoid the low-level parts. But that's not ideal; better to hide the low-level stuff if you can.
If I follow someone for a hobby, and I can have a computer filter out the posts that aren't relevant to that hobby, then it stops being a waste of time* and I'm done much sooner.

*(Unless you want to be unreasonably judgemental about hobbies. But even then, it would probably cut 80-90% of the waste and increase the enjoyment.)
It's going to be a lot of factors. Men are also a large majority of murder victims, are more likely to be homeless or in prison, represent a huge percentage of combat deaths, and are far more likely to be killed on the job. That's not to mention the higher likelyhood of substance abuse or involvement in automobile related fatalities. If we had a totally egalitarian society I wonder how wide the gap between men and women would be.

Exercise is the most effective for me. Find a running coach in your area (look for run clubs that have all levels) and usually they are led by a capable coach… especially if they’re an established club.

It can start really small… maybe having a goal for a 5k would help give you a goal…

I don’t know about a runners high, but pushing myself and getting better… setting and beating goals (failing along the way of course). That’s the addictive part.

In no time at all you’ll be able to cover 5+ miles maybe 4-5 days a week. There is literally no wrong way to do it. Walk/run, run too fast, run easy all the time…

it’s empowering to be able to walk out the door, pick a distance, and do it while everyone else is asleep.

People spend too much time looking for shortcuts, paying for weight loss apps, fancy fitness trackers/watches, nutritionists, &c.

The truth is that unless you have a medical condition it's 80% about food intake (and 20% about exercising if you want to build some muscles)

To eat less calories you have two options:

- eat a shitty western diet, which means you'll have kids sized meals and feel hungry 24/7

- eat mostly veggies/meat/simple carbs (skip anything you couldn't theoretically grow/make yourself, the most processed thing you should eat are things like pasta)

Consider food as fuel, you don't top up your car three times a day with rocket fuel (sugar), especially if it's not getting out of your garage, same goes for your body.
