1. Regularly (three days per week seems to be about right) lift heavy weights using whole-body movements (three sets of five reps of back squat, bench/shoulder press, and deadlift at near maximal weights for you is the ball park of what you're shooting for).

2. Eat lots of calories with adequate protein (30% seems to be good).

If you're a really hard gainer and that still doesn't work for you, try adding a gallon of whole milk a day. That will definitely do it--whole milk evolved for the purpose of putting a lot of muscle on baby cows quickly. I wouldn't say it's a particularly healthy thing to do long-term but that will almost certainly make you gain significant amounts of muscle.

I've tried several things, this is what finally worked:

[0] Make it a one year goal.

[1] Track your calories.

[2] Do some exercise.

[3] Weight yourself every Sunday morning.

[4] No other rules. No restriction on quantity or timing or type of food.

1 is important, because you actually know what's going in. There's a ton of useful apps, and there's no need to be extra rigorous, just be consistent in how you estimate. Notice there is no limit, no restriction - eat whatever quantity you want, of whatever you want. Just log it. This is going to be shocking. It will also become automatic, a mindless habit, no effort required.

2 is important because it diminishes cravings. (And it is healthy at any weight). Even just walking 30 minutes every day is enough (a bit more is better though).

3 is for crossing with the calories tracking. After some weeks/months you can tell what your baseline consumption is, whether you lost, gained or maintained weight (specially if you track your exercise, as well, in case it varies.)

Here's the magic:

After some weeks, you will MAGICALLY START CONTROLLING yourself to not go over some values of total calories that puts you at a daily caloric deficit.
Then you will WANT to implement all the other tactics (drinking water, not consuming liquid calories (soda), you will exercise more, you might try some sort of fasting, control your macros (calories, carbs, fat, protein), etc).
The key is that you can now measure whatever you try, you have a budget, a long enough time frame and you are accountable.
I've seen people have great success with 'The Mediterranean Diet'.

Personally, I've always found moderation and exercise worked for me. But the successes I've seen with this other diet are impressive.

It’s not perfect though. Plenty of people get their stomachs stapled to reduce their weight, lose weight, and subsequently gain much of that weight back because they’ve behaviorally overcome their stomachs.
I like everything you posted except the Black Huel part.

I checked out the link but began to think: come on, isn't there something "natural" instead of adding some commercial powder to a meal/smoothie?

My instinct is, substitute a raw egg for Black Huel but I am probably missing something since I am just dipping my toe into this whole thing.

OCR from scratch is pretty difficult, believe me, I have tried and even with OpenCV support you would need months or years (don't know if openCV is shipped with a OCR solution these days). Even if you restrict yourself to a small subset of characters and fonts you need to solve a lot of problems. There are really good ready to use solutions though. Tried the cloud service from ABBYY which nets really good results, but I guess you wouldn't want that.

The project is an interesting idea though. Would save time in writing all those protocols...

To answer the question, I think being paranoid about such things is very healthy.

You can find them on eBay still. I definitely wouldn't use one; they seem utterly impractical. They must be heavy, they are small, and the clip-on, rather than bolt-on handles are going to be rusted and dodgy at this point. You can see why they chose that strategy (to avoid a heat stress point around a bolt) but it can't be without its risks.
UK says Russian commanders will be held to account for war crimes
> So, in the aftermath of WW2, this is the ballet that happens: The Italians transfer all of their support and training aircraft to the Knights. This then frees up the 'cap room' to allow the US to boost Italy's warfighting ability WITHOUT breaking the WW2 peace treaty.

I can't help imagining the US and Poland employing a similar trick now for providing MiGs to Ukraine.

The added complication seems to be the issue of where the MiGs take off from, and I don't think the SMOM are in possession of any airfields, but the Polish pilots could land them (unarmed) at a Swedish civilian airport, where the Polish ambassador could be waiting to sign some paperwork with a representative of the SMOM, who would then sell the jets for a nominal fee to the Ukrainian ambassador. Then some Ukrainian pilots could get in and fly them back to Ukraine.

Because I (like many I guess) learned imperative and OO programming languages first, I found it particularly difficult to learn functional languages, for example F#.
Switching between the 2 paradigms is harder than I anticipated. Although I can do that, I always found myself coming up with something suboptimal in the first attempts. Not to mention the differences/similarities between the syntaxes of the different languages. Doing exercises on Exercism, it has surprised me again and again that other had came up with almost totally different solutions!
It was never a problem with other imperative languages but functional languages is a liege of it own. It makes me wonder if I should learn it or come back to the imperative world at all because switching seems detrimental to the learning process.

There is literally no working around to eating less for weight loss. Everything around weight loss like intermittent fasting, drinking coffee etc is to trick the brain to not feel hungry.
count your calories.

don't even try to restrict them (at first). just count them. get an app/spreadsheet. get a scale. and record the calories of everything and anything before you eat it. post it up on a whiteboard or sheet of paper every day.

you can keep eating whatever you want and as much as you want (at first). but you have to count _everything_.

every diet out there is going to try to restrict your calories in one way (e.g. eating more protein and less carbs "should" make you feel fuller sooner, leading to fewer calories). Every exercise program is going to try to increase the number of calories you burn (which is a lot harder to measure accurately than how many calories you eat). Either option is folly if you aren't recording your baseline. Your body is very good at convincing you to eat a bit more.

Counting your calories will tell you the actual value of the most important variable in weight loss. And what you measure you tend to improve; counting your calories alone will lead to new habits and eating less even without you trying to restrict it.

p.s. weight lifting or strength training is good advice generally. but I've been a competitive powerlifter and weightlifter for >10 years. lifting makes me hungry and makes me eat more. YMMV.

From somebody who got down from approx. 15% body fat to about 6% body fat just to get the shredded male model look: there is only one tip that actually works for nutrition (because it's all about nutrition): experiment and journal.

We are extremely different and what works for me might be a disaster for you. Just some examples:

- friend of mine is almost a complete carnivore and it works great for him. When I tried going in that direction I was always bloated and my poop was so hard it tear up my intestines and had quite a bit of blood in my stools.

- I tried low carb diets which again, work great for some: zero energy, zero libido, bad mental states.

- my family has a thing with high triglycerides and cholesterol levels. We where always advised to limit fat intake. Well, it turned out that for me a high fat diet (about 50% of calories) gave me the first normal blood tests and it happened at 40 years old. I felt best too on this diet. Will it work for you? Probably not.

- there are foods out there that will make you feel great but you just can't eat long term. I could not touch chicken breast at all for about 4 years after eating lots of it. It made me gag just thinking about it. So what good does a food do you if you just can't eat it?

I could go on and on, but you get the point. Stop looking for shortcuts, stop copying what other people do (you can't even copy what you did last year, might not work anymore).
About everyone will get it sooner or later, vaccinated or not. (Pets are a reservoir, and nobody is vaccinating them.)

Yes! This is exactly how I prefer to explain monads to non-Haskellers. A monad is just a unified abstraction for a certain type of callback which pops up in a bunch of different places (promises, optionals, randomness etc.). In some ways, it’s almost like a formalised version of an design pattern in the OOP sense. There’s really no need for category theory or strained analogies to understand or use monads in normal Haskell code.

(Of course, the theoretical underpinnings are still very interesting in and of themselves! They’re also a source for new patterns — things like free monads and comonads are very, very useful indeed. But it’s entirely possible to program Haskell without knowing a thing about category theory; most Haskellers don’t.)

I've changed my diet a good deal since buying a half gallon thermos and filling it up every morning, good thing is I don't have to remember to pour myself a glass, I always have water at hand. I think I eat less because when I'm dehydrated I'm in a bad mood, and when I'm in a bad mood I want to eat sugary and fatty things to feel better. For some reason my body never put together that I didn't need fat and sugar, I needed water. Go figure.
Even though wages are last to adjust, over the long term inflation is good for those with a lot of debt at fixed interest rates. Those large debts get smaller over time and eventually wages catch up.

Note the qualifacations on that though. Change any and things change. In the US real estate often does fit the specifics.
The three main factors are:

* Eat
* Lift
* Sleep

The combination of LIFT-WEIGHT with RUN-CALORIE-DEFICIT it how you lose weight whilst gaining muscle. It's extremely effective and you feel awesome from it. Sleep is absolutely vital - without having enough sleep you can't recover and it gets very hard to keep the calorie intake limited.

At some point - once you get to about 18-20% body fat it will start to stall - then you need to start adding some cardio to the mix.

Covid + having three kids - the youngest was 6 months old at the start of the pandemic - have absolutely ruined my fitness. I really want to get back in to shape but having proper sleep (and not having any time!) is killing my chances. After the summer he should be old enough to make it possible again though..
Does occasionally cleaning my cookware with Barkeeper's Friend (oxalic acid) accomplish the same?
Some activities are much more difficult to do with electricity because of the weight of batteries or because the environment is cold, flying planes or existing in Arctic climates being the most notable. So if we want a totally carbon-neutral world while still being able to do everything we can today, some carbon capture is important.

Hopefully we’ll have a huge innovation in batteries, but oil is very energy dense and some burning seems likely for a long time. We also will probably want to reduce CO2 levels from wherever we peak, even assuming we’re not burning any more oil, so carbon capture is important for that too.

Now some of that carbon capture can be in the form of well managed trees, but they take up a lot of land and you have to chop them down and store the wood somewhere that it won’t break down, and that becomes its own storage problem.
> I’ve never found the point in IF when I stop being hungry. I start getting hungry typically after 5 hours of being awake and I stay that way until I eat. Whether that’s 2 minutes or 24 hours, I’ve never reached that mythic place where it’s not that bad.

This applies to me as well.

In addition to that, I don't want to fast. As I mentioned earlier, I enjoy food greatly. Good cooking is an art form to me. I don't want less of it, and by being somewhat more picky when choosing it and also getting some of exercise, I can have more of it.

I found CC the only thing that works for me for losing weight. Combining it with IF just makes it easier to stick with the caloric restriction. IF also does make it easier to maintain weight later on without CC. Of course, everyone is different.
When welding stainless used in food service, you then need to re-passivate all the joints. Can be a bit of a pain for long pipelines. You'll often see acrylic piping used in food plants partially for this reason (another reason is that it's easy to see any blockages or growths etc through the pipe walls).
> A trivial example is simply a struct type and its "impl"

You're not obliged to implement a type straight after defining the type itself, so without repeating that identifier Rust has no way to be sure which type it is you want to implement. You particularly might want to define several types up front, and then write impl blocks for them later.

> have a look at what it takes to refactor even trivial pieces of code in Rust

For many similar refactoring jobs Default is adequate. Here Default's derive macro obviously won't guess that you think "blah!" ought to be the default string for some reason (or that miraculously a few lines later now "test" is the default). However it seems like the correct choice here is to implement Default for your new struct ? And you do eventually get to that.

But on the way there you go off on a tangent to provide implementations for any arbitrary AsRef<str>, a feature the "equivalent" C# code didn't offer but which apparently was a compelling need for this "refactoring". The types change radically too.

If you don't go off on that tangent, you can use Self as you expected, and your solution is much shorter and more robust but does the same thing as the C#.

Or, you could modify the C# so that it is fully generic like your Rust solution, after all the Rust solution is able to take any string-like parameter type and the C# only works with the language's built in strings.

While you're in there remember that C# "Strings" aren't like Rust's strings, they're just Vec<u16> in Rust terms. There's no promise that these are actually Unicode text. They probably are text but they're only promised to be some even number of bytes presented as ostensibly UTF-16 code units for your convenience.
No screens while eating. You’ll actually avoid eating until you’re really hungry because you’re more addicted to your phone.

I think the point is that you already can decline by default - by turning off cookies. IMO an API for cookie consent would be most useful if you could always accept functional cookies any none of the rest, but even that likely wouldn’t pass the test of being informed consent for every website that might use functional cookies a bit differently.
This.

It's calories in, calories out. But there are easier and harder ways to lower in and increase out.

Counting will probably lower intake by itself, because you get more conscious about it.

I've always been overweight and I lost 20kg over a year by eating less carbs (and not less fat) and move more.

Practically it's "simple":

- drink water before every meal

- don't drink anything with sugar/alcohol in it, there are plenty of drink with no sugar in them

- for diet, take smaller servings overall, take more meat/fish... and less rice/pasta/bread/potato, you don't need to do anything crazy

- eat often small things, do not go without eating for the whole day to eat 3 pizza in the evening

- avoid processed food, like morning cereals (kellogs...)

- do not eat at night

- take the stairs, walk in circle when you have to wait (like at a bus stop)

- feel good about yourself

- most importantly, diminish stress
