I've done periods of time on OMAD throughout my life and one thing that would always get me is sleep. I'd wake up (not necessarily hungry) much too early, regardless of the time of my one meal. One trick that helped me was to break OMAD, and have a little bit of a slow releasing protein in the evenings before bed. My go to was low fat cottage cheese. Once I added that I was able to sleep through the night again.
It isn't necessarily difficult, but one of the aspects that makes it challenging is the lack of resources to learn a new language from the POINT OF VIEW of a programmer.
When learning a new language I don't need to go through all the basics again like, if statements, loop types or variables, it just makes learning tedious, and I can't just skip that part, or I might miss out on nuances of the language.
Again, tedious, not difficult.
Do you think nobody is carrying out research just because it's costly, difficult, and hasn't been demonstrated yet?

This can be an issue with open source programs as well from a practical perspective. For example let's say i modified Gtk to use a sane file dialog - i'd rather replace the system installed shared object once and have everything use it rather than recompile everything that uses Gtk.

None of the refs I encountered was like that. It was usually amateur practitioners that filled the role, with some doing it full time. Those, rare, cases of those self-righteous asses I encountered were either trainers (a rare few), functionaries (usually to get to control their own tournaments and promote their favorites) and mostly very, let's say, enthusiastic amateurs with more ego than actual skill and success.
Just hiding consent can sometimes break a page. I haven't experienced any broken pages with this extension.
Courts can't compel you not to talk. They can merely punish you after-the-fact.

So if you're talking about "everyone in a giant group of people" and doing it routinely, existence of those secret subpoenas seem like they'd get leaked eventually. Especially if it's hard to tell which of the 300 people leaked it.
You can always be in trouble by the police for any reason or no reason at all. The question is law. The notion of a warrant canary is that the police cannot compel you to state that you are not under a court order. They can annoy you to lie, and they can always break the law, but they cannot legally force you to. To claim that regardless of this, the police can compel you to lie, is tantamount to saying that the rule of law has failed.

US and friends are the big winners here, as expected, since what the EU is doing is swapping Russian gas for theirs.
I do not get that idea to punish anti-war protesters by drafting them into military by force and send them to the war.

The last person you want to send to fight in a war is an anti-war protester. Though knowing russian war commander mentality (i.e. kill disobedient soldiers) - it could be a literal death sentence [0][1].

Sadly norms are often copyrighted and quite expensive to get a copy, even the mandated ones. I think this is highly inhibitive for the overall economy.
For posterity:

Lavrov himself today confirmed that the Russians bombed a maternity hospital. Complete, 100% confirmation. He did not deny in any way - he only offered reasons as to "why" this civilian maternity hospital was targeted and destroyed by the Russian invaders.

If the Russians and the Ukrainians both agree that the Russians bombed this hospital, video evidence exists, eye witnesses exist ...and you still call it "unsubstantiated", then clearly you're trying to spread disinformation. Perhaps you're not aware, Russia is seriously losing the disinformation/propaganda war, but you can try I guess.

Please, refute that single example.

To make it simpler: did the Russians bomb a maternity hospital (civilian infrastructure) in Ukraine?

There are two answers: "yes"

Or, "yes, but.... <insert Russian excuse here>"

Guessing you will take the second answer.

Schizophyllum commune, known as the splitgill mushroom, has over 23,000 sexes. Two individuals are sexually compatible based on genes at two sites in their genome. If a pair has matching genes at either location, the pair is not sexually compatible.
IF works really well for me. I've struggled for years with losing weight. I'm an extremely very picky eater with a sugar addiction and doesn't like to cook. I've had weeks where I would almost entirely survive on sweets: several king size candy bars, ice cream, soda. Hardly much else.

I run a lot, even ran a marathon. No amount of exercise did anything. Dieting is impossible for me. I'd rather run an ultra.

IF changes my eating habits. I don't know why or how but when I only have a short eating period I only want to eat mostly healthy foods. I'm inclined to drink water instead of soda which never, ever happens if I'm not doing IF.

If it's 8pm and I think I want ice cream I say "it's too late, but you can have it during your eating period tomorrow." And I mean that, I allow myself to eat whatever I want during my eating period. I just don't want to eat junk food somehow so as a result—I just don't have ice cream anymore and it's not a big deal.

That said, OMAD (for me it was 22:2) backfired a couple of times for me. It was too strict and I ended up giving up on fasting after trying it for just a day or two.
You're accusing me of not reading the article.

Where does it mention hard evidence of cheating before his death? Suspicious splits are not evidence. Not running with an observer is just that.

I get that people get mad at cheaters but without evidence it's unfair to harrass people. Even asking them to "prove" their ability is harrasment. That's all.
Learning game engines is a rather broad subject. Godot is as good a starting point as any. They have good tutorials on the website and you can find tutorials for pretty much any type of game on youtube.
Given that civilians are already getting shot at and bombed it seems only fair they are allowed some pot shots back.
Check out Bruce Schneier's blog. It's about as good as it gets, though it may be a little advanced. Computerphile made lots of videos on cryptography as well.
It's not really hard though, just time consuming. And somewhat frustrating if you think it will be obsolete in a couple of years.

Eating plain boiled potatoes for a week straight to get rid of your sugar addiction and normalizing your appetite. Relearning the difference between unable to eat more, full and no longer hungry. Add some pepper and salt and some plain veggies if you must. No sugar, no oil, no sauces no nothing. You wont be hungry, it will just be rather plain. If you have problems doing this, then congratulations, you just realized you are an addict. Which is why you do a withdrawal. Cheer up, there are a lot worse things to go on withdrawal from.

Other then that, nothing weird, its all very very simple and complicating it just makes errors more likely. You arent a perpetual motion machine. You need to eat your sustaining calorie level every day. If you dont, you loose weight till you starve.

At the end of every day you have either a red or green number for your kcal. So all you do is figure out how much you eat in a normal given week and see if that leads to an increase or decrease.

Next step is finding your daily sustaining calories level and getting some plan ability into your eating habits. The number at which you neither loose nor gain weight. After that you just reduce in which ever tempo you like. Figure out what the big ticket items are (looking at you cream) and figure something out which with you arent hungry. Dont aim too high too early there is really no need to torture yourself.

Its also important to not just diet but change your eating habits. Otherwise you just jojo back and will sooner or later reduce your sustaining calorie level this way. Which might make a reverse diet necessary.

Good luck and relax. This wont be any harder then you make it

edit: I didnt take my own advice of taking it slow and went from 115 to 75kg in about half a year (after my doctor suggested some "weight normalization"). That was very unhealthy so dont. But i am confident in it working. Its how you deal with any addiction. If you cant just quit, you get some structure and then reduce. And do it smart. There is zero reason to torture yourself, this does not have to be hard.

Also, thanks to my bodybuilding friend who explained the mechanism to me plain and simply.
Have you ever tried fasting? I.e., are you speaking from experience, or just from your preconceptions?

In my experience, fasting is far easier than losing weight by a traditional diet. Consider that your body is finely tuned to make sure that you eat very close to as many calories as you burn. If you consistently eat 400 calories less than it thinks it needs, it will ratchet up the pressure on you. It takes continual self control to eat almost as much as your body wants but not quite.

Fasting is actually a lot easier. Your body is designed to fast, just as it's designed to run. As with running, once you exercise those chemical pathways, the actual fasting part isn't that bad -- it's much less unpleasant than being slightly low-calorie all the time. And it's a lot easier from a willpower perspective to eat nothing at all, and then eat as much as you feel like, than to continually eat a little less than you feel like.

I feel like a lot of people are afraid of fasting because they think that hunger will be linear -- after 8 hours without eating they feel twice as hungry as after 4, so after 16 hours they'll feel twice as hungry again, and after 24 hours they'll be writhing in agony. It's not like that at all.

Basically, if you can summon up the discipline to run 2 miles regularly, you can summon the discipline to do a 16/8 IF fasting cycle; if you have the discipline to run 5 miles, you have the discipline to do a 36 hour fast (basically skipping one full day a week); and if you have the discipline that you can train your body to run 10 miles, you have enough discipline to train it to fast for a week. (The last one you'd obviously only do once in a while.)
What if both foams were from the same batch?
Have you tried a ketogenic diet?
This will likely be buried in all the answers, but I'll try anyway.

I've recently read this here: https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/07/07/a-chemical-hunger-p...

It's a long article series, but IMHO very worth it.

In it, the authors posit that the body has a "lipostat", like a thermostat, but for regulating body fat and weight.

If you are breathing pure oxygen and burning more calories, you'll just feel hungrier and eat more to compensate; if you don't, you'll feel sluggish and tired.

The authors also claim that the most likely cause for the obesity crisis is that some environmental contaminant causes the lipostat to be mis-adjusted.

That makes it pretty hard to deal with obesity, so the author's advise is:

* move to a high altitude, since contamination follows watershed

* avoid jobs that correlate with high obesity rates

* avoid highly processed food, since each processing step has the option to add contamination

I am not sure if all of this is real or some of it is bunk, but I found some of the arguments quite convincing, so I'd encourage you to read it and form your own opinion. (Do NOT just rely on my summary, it doesn't do the article series justice).
One alternative/compromise not mentioned is to make the method 'protected'. This is usually a reasonable compromise in languages like Java. The test can access such method since it follow the same package hierarchy as the src.
TLDR: Language should provide additional constructs to interact with private code.

Am I the only one that feels like this all just points out to flaws of the language itself? We should not have to consider changing private to public just because we want to test that function. Moreover I'v seen comments on docs.microsoft.com along the lines "not to be used", "for internal use only" etc that may be a result of language shortcomings.

C# has this attribute InternalsVisibleToAttribute[1] where you open up all your internal stuff to other (test) assembly that solves one of the problems: your test assembly accessing YOUR code assembly.

Now for the wishlist. The issue with InternalsVisibleToAttribute is that the assembly author controls this. I'd like to control this as a consumer too. Given that (citation) "The idea is that when writing library code you couldn’t possibly know what method your clients will want to use ahead of time, and defaulting to private methods will cause more problems for you and your clients than defaulting to public (or protected)." - so why not take responsibility to myself of using code that may break in next update? Like PrivateVisibleFromAttribute. Or a language construct like unsafe {}, but private {}/internals {} where intellisense will happily list all private/internal methods. Maybe not a good idea for all cases, but I can see this useful: "that library X won't need many updates and it has that complex function I'd like to use to exactly mimic functionality X". Or: this legacy system written 20 years ago won't have any updates, but I must implement XYZ, part of which already private functions by original developers provide. Or I may want to extend that private class, override with my functionality (re-using parts of that code) and provide bindings for runtime to use MyVendorClass instead of VendorClass.

The thing is, you can do this with C# Reflection (access private members), but it's cumbersome. Better have language provide necessary tools and most of this discussion wouldn't happen as test assembly will happily tie into internals.

I don't think strong and US-friendly is a realistic combination. Russian and American geo-political interests are not aligned, and a strong Russia would push for its own interests and power as they are doing now (though they may have overplayed their hand).
Some people can and do make vigilanteism into their identity. I know two cases where people have had their employment affected in some way as result of one or more vigilantes trying to punish or blackmail them respectively.

If you want to call that trolling, I guess you could. The word has changed a lot since I first encountered it over two decades ago.
I don't think it is. Or, it doesn't have to be.

Learning new languages isn't that bad. It's learning whole new tech stacks, that often don't add all that much, that is the painful part. This is doubled by the general shallowness of private-sector work (read: bureaucratic nonsense we are forced to do, on the behalf of very rich people who despise us, because we have failed thus far to forcefully remove them) because there is a very low embarrassment threshold. Just not knowing something can lead a boss or (gag) product manager to "flip the switch" on you, and now you're seen as a non-serious player. Every technical change threates to shuffle the perceived "performance" ordering on the team. The bosses aren't going to invest in your learning, or even let you invest your own working time into it--you're expected to throw down extra hours and weekends into picking up the new tech stack.

Learning new languages isn't hard. It's fun, actually. Learning a bunch of libraries that were invented three years ago, under adverse political circumstances, is considerably less fun.
I meant more for the usecase of having a public endpoint. I don't like the idea that my only option is to hide my endpoint as the origin of a CDN in order to prevent it from being saturated with traffic by a digital ocean droplet.
To lose weight, you just need to finish the day in a calorie deficit. Thats it. 3 simple starting actions;

- Cut back on soda/sugary drinks

- 10 minutes of exercise a day, even if just walking

- Get into a good sleep routine

Once you're at the weight you're happy with you'll need to keep it off. This is when you really need to think about your lifestyle choices. Ideally you'll stick with the above 3 tips even after you hit your target weight.
I don't think this is a good example.

E.g. "===" is supported because it's used in case ... when ... matching, and so it allows you to create lambda's that can be used in "when" clauses. You're not really expected to use it to explicitly call a lambda, and using "===" rather than "behind the scenes" in the form of a case/when is rarely done.

Meanwhile "[]" allows you to use a lambda in the same circumstances as an array or hash without writing different code depending on type.

Both are there as part of the Proc interface because they have significant impact on the usability of Proc instances by allowing them to be used in more contexts without special treatment.

Attention paid to things like that is part of what makes Ruby pleasant to use.

".call" vs ".()" is left, and maybe having just one of them would be ok, especially as frankly I can't recall the last time I saw ".()" used on a lambda "in the wild" (I'm sure people are using it, just not in any code bases I've looked at recently), but they serve different purposes than "===" and "[]" even though their effect for Proc instances are the same.
anyone thinking that the detection part is possible through a deep learning model ?
I wish there was a standard browser API for this. If the law is going to force this to be a thing, and it's not going away, web standards should respond.

It could even just be a flag in the cookie itself declaring that something isn't strictly necessary.
What you're saying applies to the IO Monad only, using the IO side-effect for sequencing purposes. I'm not sure is applies to the myriad of other monads available in Haskell.
I've lost 20kg in 1 year and a half just by eating less and walking more.

When I was hungry I was taking an apple instead of eating biscuits.
>on others you can find a lot of interesting stuff

There's value to be gleaned from /pol/ if you can stand the lunatics. The skychan threads sometimes yield some interesting conjecture.

4chan is currently the best place for realtime ukraine war footage and analysis, in my opinion.
Any reason you don't use some kind of VPN solution for that instead?
Hmm. If you have gmail, they are parsing your overdraft notices so they can max out ad revenue from overpriced loan vendors.
To lose weight, we need to eat less. Eating too much is an emotional coping mechanism. We eat to escape difficult feelings we have, either related to specific events or "hanging in the background".
Why not everyone is overweight? Everyone has emotional issues, but different people cope differently. Some smoke, some drink, etc you get the idea.
So to really free this coping mechanism we have two options:
1. Replace it with another coping mechanism - could also be a healthy coping mechanism like talking to close friends when I'm feeling down, or writing in my journal.
2. Deal with my emotional issues by going to therapy, a support group etc. This would have to deal with what troubles me in life, my fears.

After I've gotten better control over my emotional situation, then comes the HOW of eating less. My answer, which got me to lose 24 pounds in 6 months and keep my weight for years later is -- eat only when hungry. stop eating immediately if you're no longer hungry.
At first this seems trivial, but it's not. You will need to notice your feelings of hunger and become more sensitive to when you are hungry, when you are full. And to only eat when hungry. This method is super effective, you need nothing more. You can eat any food you want as long as you do so only when feeling hungry.
Where did I say that?

I said if a software doesn't have a spec, the code IS the spec.

If I hand out a sheet of paper saying "the program returns X", but running it returns Y instead, the program is buggy.

If I hand out a piece of code which says "return X", and someone runs it expecting it to return Y, thats not the codes problem.

Works for some, but body will try to go back to it's habits, can be very hard to change food habits.

Easy hack that gives more energy & has health benefits is: Strength training for muscle growth. Muscles burn tons of energy, having more muscle mass will boost your daily resting kcal.

When starting out it's easy to gain quite a bit of muscle first months.

Ofc cut out the shit, mainly sweets & fried stuff.
That's really cool. I knew that Python had the `readline` module, but didn't know that it monkey-patched the `input` function to add functionality automatically.
I had same issue with other solutions I tried. Consent-O-Matic is the only extension I found so far that doesn't break pages. But it doesn't handle all consents unfortunately.
problem is it's never really been made.
I looked at your other comments and they're usually quite contributory and positive, so with that in mind, what inspired this one today? Because it's just the very worst sort of annoying pedantry.
I just signed up and see I have a hard choice of countries. I'm a dual-citizen and have lived in both countries roughly split my whole life. It would be nice to be able to scan across multiple countries. I've just started with the US half but hoping you can accommodate.
There is true (as per ISO standard) borosilicate glass available in Europe under various other marks (Simax, Boral,...). We use it widely but as it's softer than regular glass it's prone to scratches and subsequent catastrophical failure. Unlike lab reagents, food can contain sand grains and scratch the glass. Maybe that's the reason why Pyrex isn't borosilicate anymore.
even with conventional weapons, taking on three countries should be a lot higher threshold than one...
Wow, didn't know this one (just added to my lecture notes!) thanks
> I enjoy lifting weights but you don't lose weight with that, you do it with endurance sport

Weight lifting w/ hypertrophy is one of the most effective forms of exercise for weight (fat) loss.

In addition to causing a longer rise in post exercise caloric burn, it also changes body composition such that your calorie requirements/quota increases over time.

Cardio is not a particularly great option for fat losses for a number of reasons. Spend an hour on the treadmill and look at the caloric burn estimates for a glaring reason why.

The best exercise for weight loss though is the one you enjoy and will do. Nothing burns fat for me better than full court basketball a few times a week.

A careful reading, especially to the end, shows that the writer is certain that Meza cheated. And yet respects and has empathy for him and his family, despite that.

Meza was much more than his worst moment, as are we all.
