Why act like there is a day-by-day timeline of evidence found and presented in the article's flowery writing. Its obviously skipping out on some aspects make telling the story easier, so its daft to use it as a base to understand the situation fully, but you act like you have become well informed somehow.

I agree with the other advice given. Eat less sugar, eat less in general, do more exercise. Perhaps you can go to work by ebike?
Anyway, to add to the discussion, perhaps the satiety index will help you:

It's a list of food items rated by calories and the time they will make you feel satiated. Potatoes are the best, especially if you cook them and allow them to cool down again, your body will take a long time to break down the carbs.

Yes, but analogy time:

We are the ancient Greeks, we’ve invented written language and some of our famous philosophers and orators are very upset about how this is changing the human condition.

In the same way the ancient Greeks made the Aeolipile[0] and could probably imagine it doing something useful, we can bioprint tissue and imagine it doing something useful.

If full-body printing is as far off as the industrial revolution, mind uploading is as far off as the internet — while we can detect neuron firing when it happens, AFAIK we don’t have any way to read even a single synaptic connection strength, despite the OpenWorm and Neuralink projects and similar, because nobody has been willing to fund that research.

This may work well for you but definitely isn't what I prefer. For example I often subscribe to recording feeds for conferences or other events. These feeds don't post for most of the year but them might have hundreds of entries. I definitely don't want my feed reader to drop all but the last 10 (YouTube for example keeps much less than the latest 100 videos in the feed). I want it to keep them all so that I can work through the list and watch the ones I am interested in.

So while your some solution might work in some cases this definitely isn't what I would want personally and in my opinion what Feedly did here was reasonable as a general behavior, even if it isn't optimal for this particular case. I'd rather have it handle the happy common case we'll then to hurt it for the rare case when someone makes a mistake, especially when the downsides for the mistake aren't that high.
Discussing their security is different to claiming they were actually hacked. Just look up all the discussion around how much infrastructure is vulnerable to hacking. You do need some actual proof though that it did actually happen.
I wish more people would just use self-hosted analysis tools and stop tracking people across sites. I think github does this and they wrote a blog post detailing their reasoning.
I meant we don't get a chance to spend time on reflecting critically. What I was thinking of specifically is how many people that depend on Log4j have actually read the Log4j source code and reflected on whether its complexity was a security risk to their product.

How many people could go "Hey boss, we're gonna take 2 developers and spend the next two sprints moving our code base away from the industry standard logging framework because it has too many features".
I wish there was an open source project for developers to implement those darn consent forms.

Adsense offers an automatic consent modal. But the problem with that one is that it not only displays the consent modal but also injects a smaller widget into the site. It looks like the widget only pops up when the user scrolls down to the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, that also makes it pop up when the page is not longer than the screen. So pages where all content fits on one screen look really shitty.

Anybody who has a website with Adsense here? How do you guys deal with this?

Anybody here who wrote their own consent modal?

I am about to implement my own. Unfortunately that will then not be automatically handled by extensions like the one in this post or ublock. Putting the burden of clicking it away on my users. Even on the 50% that use an ad blocker anyhow :/

Huh? I was just expanding on your comment about not knowing what people were expecting you to do about systemic problems - I wasn't attacking you. Do you mean the bit about conservative talking heads? I assumed that's who you meant when you were talking about the sand shovelers.

From your reaction I'm guessing the sand shovelers you think are scum are the "woke" people but I hope I'm wrong.
I think the languages and their frameworks are kind of inseparable. I'm pretty sure that language designers constantly flip back and forth between implementing a feature in a library and making it part of the language.

For example: C's malloc vs C++ new

And due to these interactions, languages that look superficially similar can end up feeling very different, like C# and Java seem pretty similar but having programmed in both of them, the subtle differences and their network effects cause the code to look very distinct.

Differences can exist within a single language, like for C++, C-with-classes, std heavy C++ and Qt-flavored C++ feel like different languages.
Thank you so much for taling the time to write this thoughtful and valuable reply!

It helps me see what I think I’m seeing, or rather to define it. It also has helped me to perspectives I hadn’t seen.

I’m coming to dependent types from here: “simple, clear code good yes program program argh I can’t express a very distinct thought without escaping to another language layer or generating code using string concatenation”, and from here: “my data structure is simple and clear but argh it needs a handwritten parser and serializer and it needs to be maintained and argh why am I writing a parser AND a serializer it should be just one bidirectional definition? and argh why do I need to write it for each output/input format?”, and from here: “my code is simple and clean and my variables are well named and my tests are well defined and my documentation is well written but argh why can’t I just fold the mechanics that the tests define into the code? as proofs? (and… argh? why can’t my variables and documentation and method names be checked against the code?)”.

It’s metaprogramming that I’m thinking about. And most programming ought to be programming. But we definitely need metaprogramming, and it needs to be understandable and composable and simple and clear. And I don’t know if dependent types are a complete solution to that, but I do think that they are necessary for it.

That-which-is dependent types, which by definition is a computation of what it is and is a proof of what it is. Those philosophical terms finally become practically grounded and practical help in a lot of the work I find myself doing.

I’ll certainly look for the false idol too! My sincere thanks.
Whatever you want. A small selection of things I've personally written in Ruby to give an idea of breadth:

* The text editor I use day to day.

* A messaging middleware server

* A private cloud orchestrator (running ~1000 VMs across on-prem, a couple of colo's, managed servers and

* Many web application backends for various sites; e.g. e-commerce, CRM systems.

* Forecasting and simulation framework for a VC.

* Framework for statistical analysis of error rates for OCR engines, and models to attempt to reduce the error rates by applying various clustering methods (for my MSc; "dipped down" to C for kmeans a couple of other things via FFI; 95%+ of the lines of code was Ruby)

* Map-tile renderer (we rendered custom maps based on hundreds of layers of proprietary map data for customers) and the webapp to go with it (document managed linked to map data)

* FUSE filesystem doing on demand rendering and caching of the map tiles mentioned above for newly uploaded layers.

* Code to generate terraform files to deploy infrastructure.

And when I have time I play with writing game code using DragonRuby.

I can do all of this in a dozen other languages too. I've done in Ruby because Ruby is pleasant to use and feels most productive to me.

There is spectrum of software developers out there ranging from some know and understand programming through some who know a programming language to some who know an application.

Universities are ditching the SAT en masse because it is an excellent predictor of outcome, and that is interfering with affirmative action political objectives (much easier to get away with racially discriminating against more-qualified Asian applicants if you can deny knowing they were more qualified).

My goal in running a team is performance rather than political signalling, so I prefer to use the best performance metrics available to me.
They are normal-ish questions and I can see where the STAR guidance is better than getting no help at all - I just think the process is too rigid overall. I've interviewed a handful of people for our team in the last year - all had the right background and technical expertise, but since they didn't have an example from their career which matches up with the LP questions they were asked, they were knocked back. All of them would have been "bar raising" from a technical standpoint, but since they were not demonstrably already "Amazonian" in their mindset, we couldn't hire them.

An interesting but plausible idea I saw once was simply weighing oneself daily, and letting your subconscious do the rest. I think the idea is to add a score, and hey looks like now this is a game, and I wanna move that score. But it removes the pressure of a specific mechanism, perhaps.

Disclaimer: I didn't actually raise money this way.

Non working demo. With it you can get plenty of validation even get people to put the money down. With really solid validation and demo I think you should have a fairly easy time fundraising the first round.

For example, I recently worked on a SaaS. Built few features that looked like it works, but it really didn't. It was enough to demo to potential customers and it helped us figure out what MVP really needs to be and that people will pay for it.

Having a main job simply doesn't give you enough time to execute both marketing and development really well, so in my opinion you really need a second person. Non working demo was enough to convince one of my peers to help me.
The way your argument falls squarely into the same fallacies you attempt to accuse me of falling is quite interesting.

Examples to try to help you find your own biases:

> But the reality of the world isn't that simple and I certainly don't want to live in one where we decide that victims of atrocities and unspeakable acts "are to blame" because they tried to find peaceful ways to protect themselves

The reality of the world is that a big power gets to dicate what smaller countries can do around them. I don't like that either, but that's how it is and you can find multiple examples of that in the world throughout history. The USA has applied this same kind of doctrine the Russians are trying to impose on their smaller neighbours for over a century[1]. You live in a world where this is how things work and if you pretend you don't , you can cause a lot of suffering to your own people.

> Russia has no reason, NONE, to do what they are doing.

So you get to tell Russians what they can do or not and what reasons are acceptable for them to motivate themselves? Well, then perhaps Russia can tell Ukraine that their reasons to join NATO are not acceptable either?

> They could have been an ally to Ukraine.

They were for a long time.... when they attempted to join NATO, a Russia-hostile alliance whose creation was almost entirely motivated by the desire of Western powers to keep Russia in check, they absolutely signaled to Russia that they see Russia as their enemy.

> So no, Ukraine's actions did not "directly lead to a terrible outcome". Russia's actions did

We can't agree on that, obviously... you believe that anyone should have the right to do what they want without consequences to themselves because there should be no aggression from others. What a nice world it would be if that was the case, but unfortunately, just like Cuba can't have nuclear weapons pointing to the USA, so can't Ukraine have NATO bases within striking distance of Moscow... because both the USA and Russia think that they must protect themselves against the enemy and that their right to do that supersedes the rights of Cubans and Ukrainians to join whatever military alliances they want to. Until that changes, things like this will continue to happen... if Brazil tried to develop nuclear weapons, for example, we know all too well what would happen - because that actually happened and we know how it went - they stopped under enormous pressure from the USA - if they had pushed forward and said to the world "we have the right to peacefully defend ourselves against the american enemy by developing weapons that are as strong as the enemy's", I have no doubt the situation could have escalated to the point where American bombs would've be exploding in Brazil - but luckily brazilians realized that and bowed to the pressure. The problem in Iran was very similar and it was very, very close to being bombed by the USA (and it's still very possible that they will eventually invade).

If I ate as you described Id be very unhappy, often hungry and have very little energy to continue the diet. The difficulty comes from the combined influence of types of food, how they influence metabolism/blood sugar, your mental state and stressors. A holistic approach is typically better than a simplistic or dismissive one, though "keeping it simple" is best. E.g. finding time in daily routine for food prep (buying coffee, bananas and bread to unpleasantly spike your blood sugar in your case), identifying and restricting binge foods, identifying ideal portion sizes, making reasonable comprimises with family/house mates, replacing comfort eating etc. You cant white-knuckle a diet and expect it to work till you die, for many it will (and should!) be a lifelong process.

I think these 2 quotes by matz describe best ruby's philosophy.

> I hope to see Ruby help every programmer in the world to be productive, and to enjoy programming, and to be happy. That is the primary purpose of Ruby language

> Often people, especially computer engineers, focus on the machines. They think, "By doing this, the machine will run fast. By doing this, the machine will run more effectively. By doing this, the machine will something something something." They are focusing on machines. But in fact we need to focus on humans, on how humans care about doing programming or operating the application of the machines. We are the masters. They are the slaves.
Customers and partners, the latter basically taking our ideas and selling them as a product - the flow of IP towards Amazon isn't always as clear-cut as people believe :-)

and they did this, even if you told them not to track you.
Do more sports. Walking especially, if possible running. If knee issues then cycling and swimming. Eat regularly but make sure you eat a lot of vegetables and salad. Protein is also desireable, but eat less carbonhydrates (not too many noodles, whitebread, pizza etc.)

That's all.

What about cast iron? It’s very nice to cook with and popular with chefs.
Agreed. I’ve actually found one meal a day means I eat less over 24 hr. You can only eat so much in one sitting, and for whatever reason a big heavy meal usually turns me off food for 12 hrs or more.

Right, and one term one I've heard for this is Overconfident Pessimism [0].

People confidently declare that cancer is "incurable" as a matter of metaphysical principle, the reason being that cancer isn't one thing and that it's really hard. The most celebrated example making this declaration that I know of is this comic from PhD comics [1].

I think you can appreciate that cancer is more than one thing, and that "curing" in all it's variations is really hard, without proceeding, punch drunk on enlightened skepticism, to declare that these mean it can't be cured.

To me it feels like a frustrating philosophy 101 mistake masquerading as profound wisdom.

It is hilarious how many people think the problem is with reversing the CO2 creation. No, it's a matter of getting the joules to sustain the modern lifestyle and the population count.
As you're specifically asking for "weird" tips...at 6'1" I was able to go from 85kg to a persistent (as in, no Yo-Yo effect) 75kg gradually in two years, without any deliberate dieting by changing my own mental stance towards being "one of the fatties".

1. Develop a "I'm better than you" attitude towards overweight people. In the woke age of "no body shaming ever", a lot of external motivation (i.e. fat jokes) has gone away. But for me, it was exactly those fat jokes or remarks about being chubby that finally put me over the edge of doing something about my weight.
Let's face it, nobody actually thinks that being overweight is OK. It's merely tolerated, but thin people judge you for it. I know, because I was judged when I was at 85kg and I am judging overweight people now as I'm not one of them anymore. You're simply lesser than me, no matter how much you make, what car you drive, or how beautiful your girlfriend may be. Because deep down I know you're still not happy until you are thin, which for some reason is a higher mental hurdle for you than getting and keeping a high-6-figure job. You're weak.

2. In the same vein as 1. but more specifically, I was always interested in street wear, and especially Japanese street wear brands. But the thing is, until you're rail thin (like a 20-something Japanese skater dude, for instance), those clothes will look bad and try-hard on you.
Nowadays I don't wear street wear anymore but I still want to be able to tuck a dress shirt without showing "the bulge". Making clothes look good on myself was another huge motivating factor to lose weight.

How exactly you limit your calorie intake while starting to burn off more, i.e. the specific diet is the uninteresting part. You first need the mental framework that allows you to change your habits, and will keep you adamant in the hard times of resisting that will definitely come. You're already starting to realize that, using the nickname "fatmoron" which hints at a healthy self-hatred caused by your current weight. Keep on in that spirit and soon you'll be the one who judges, not the one who's being judged.
