Metformin is known to work (a little) and seems to have a longevity effect that no-one understands.

Orlistat works, as long as you can live your life near a toilet.

Semaglutide - looks very promising.

Gastric sleeving and other surgical intervensions are also known to work.

Changes to oxygen levels due to altitude are still being researched. Higher altitudes in the USA and Europe correlate with lower levels of obesity at statistically significant levels; higher altitudes in Australia correlate with higher levels of obesity. No-one knows why.

Most of the other advice in this thread has a very low probability of succeeding. There will be a lot of selection bias in this thread because the only people responding are the ones for whom it succeeded.

Most of the time for most people, interventions that focus on diet fail.

Interventions that focus on exercise average around 1-2 kg of weight loss in the general population. That said, if you aren't doing any exercise at the moment, then you can reduce your all-cause mortality pretty rapidly with a small amount of exercise (that would definitely fit into your lifestyle). Even if exercise doesn't help you lose weight, it improves your overall cardiac fitness, and that is probably the most important thing to work on.

You asked for weird tips... it seems that if you have the genetic factors that give you a higher predisposition towards obesity, then exercise will work better for you than average.
Intermittent fasting and writing down what you eat religiously worked for me. Use an app to keep track on your phone: Fastic, Noom, LoseIt, etc. Some people go with other diets like ketogenic diets, those work too.

Another option is to ask your doctor about semaglutide (e.g., Wegovy). Here is a study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2032183 (Health insurance usually covers it. They have a coupon to bring down the copay to $25.)

The key is consistency and recognizing that you may be eating for reasons other than hunger.

> AUKUS involved countries already in NATO-like agreements with the US (UK is in NATO, Australia in ANZUS) so it doesn't really change much in terms of security alignment.

It does, because it pissed off France ( which also has territory in the Pacific) for no good reason, and also stated that the choice of nuclear subs is due to the Chinese threat. And also it pushed the delivery date of new Australian submarines by at least a decade, probably more.

As a product manager I just want to say how impressed I am about Orion’s decision to not do any form of in-app tracking and instead to actively solicit and act on user feedback.

This kind of decision takes courage in this day and age of detailed usage analytics. I might try it out in my own projects.
Idk if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but a browser is one of those things where I simply am not comfortable trying out options that aren't big or well known. At this point, the browser is essentially a window into my entire life, and I do things like check my bank balance on it. While Google isn't a trustworthy company by any means, I can be reasonably certain they aren't looking into what I'm doing. So trying out a new, closed source browser - even if it is as great as everyone makes it seem - is a bit too much for me.

It's not websites or apps going down that's the issue here. Security breaches can very much have real impact on people. For security issues at least, it doesn't really matter how silly or nonconsequential the use case of your software is. What matters is the data you hold, and how you take care of it. Your software could literally be a background service gathering user data, and it could still be devastating for a user if that data gets leaked, even if they didn't know about (and were otherwise unimpacted by) your software's existence (or lack thereof).
When people think of industries that need regulation, it’s aviation and healthcare. But the fact is there is so much liability in every industry and there’s nothing protecting consumers from reckless incompetence or misuse of personal data.

Ethics is at the core of all other Engineering disciplines, and there’s no reason we couldn’t regulate Software similarly. It protects the public.
America already has a huge semiconductor industry (45% of the market by revenue), it’s not like all the fabs shipped off to Taiwan and Korea. “Regain access” isn’t a problem, but ramping up capacity would take a couple of years.
Everyone CAN code though -- just like everyone can write a story or hammer a nail. There are different skill levels, that's all. I couldn't write a quality publishable work or build cabinets without several years of honing those crafts.

Joking aside, the path to losing weight is not dieting, but changing what and how you eat permanently. Weight is an equilibrium, and to reach a new equilibrium, you need to change something about your habits permanently or you'll just bounce back once you stop "dieting". For me personally, reducing sugars and filler carbohydrates was the most effective change to make.

On top of changing how you eat, exercise and strength training can help by making you generally healthier or by making you look slimmer when your muscles strengthen, and of course muscles require more energy to maintain so muscle mass will affect things as well.

Eat the same food every single day. Same amount, Same everything. Basically you prepared a meal list that is your calories budget of your target weight. Say 1800 calories. You prep a meal that you actually like to eat, and are willing to eat it every single day. By not having the option to choose something else. You keep it simple, the same calories. If you dont mind eating steak every day, or burger every day. Then Burger it is. Avoid Deep fried food though, but if you do your calculation you will soon realise 1800 calories per day doesn't actually give you much option.

Walking at least 35 min per day. No need to do running. Just walk. Go out, walks some places, window shopping, walk you dog. Whatever, walk. 35 min minimum.

You get result within 30 days.
I started not eating after 18h and already lost a kilo this month. Calorie counting also worked for me in the past, lost 10kg that way, but it's a bit demanding.

Wishful thinking. Giving Electron apps more RAM is like giving a toddler with crayons more walls to scribble on.
Can you explain how you "go back" to an earlier state? I assume your event stream writes into a database, and that database is then used by the front end. Do you replay the entire stream up until date/time x into a separate database to restore or check out the state up to then?
Is that math right?

A chip running at 100W on average would take up 2.4KWh in 1 day (10h * 100W = 1KWh. 24h/10h = 2.4KWh).

At 30c/KWh, that’s 72c/day.

Over a year, that’s 365 * 72 = 26280c = $262.80/yr.
Most languages are not very different as far as the semantics go. The Algol family, for example (Pascal, C, C#, Java, Lua, Python, …) - if you know any of them well, it’s easy to pick the others up quickly.

But a language includes idioms, the eco system, and even conventions like camelCase vs PascalCase vs snake_case. Until you master these, all code you write will be alien and awkward to the natives.

C++ has become its own thing, where you have to study an awful lot just to be able to _read_ it, but it is otherwise of the same family.

I’ve only been programming for 40 years, have professionally done so in over 10 languages, and nowadays preach to only pay attention to paradigms rather than languages.

You don’t think differently when working in C# vs Java, and not materially different than e.g. C, if you are writing idiomatic code.

But Lisp, APL, Prolog, Haskell - idiomatic code in any of these languages does not resemble one in any of the others (or the Algols) - they each offer a very different way to look at things. And your C code will be Better if you grok them, even if you don’t use them.
Not all his citizens are. And his soldiers are following orders. Are you in favor of giving US citizens punishment for the crimes of some of its citizens in Afghanistan and Iraq?
The answer, I think, is warranties. As soon as software can no longer be delivered “as-is”, the profession will need to change. Hobbies will still exist, just as they do for almost all other professions, but as soon as software is required to be fit for purpose, we will need to get serious. That’s when regulation and (gasp) licensing will need to come in to play.

As soon as, say, a retailer or a bank can be sued to oblivion for bad and/or insecure software, whether it was written in-house or not, the regulations will flow back to the producers of the software.

We are still in the Wild West days. Enjoy it while it lasts. Once we, as a society, start requiring software to actually do what it says it does, the fun times are over…at least professionally.
We will still be able to have hobby projects automating sprinklers and lightbulbs and such with the latest unlicensed (edit: un-warrantied, really) Raspberry Pi and Linux.

But at work we will be using buttoned down OSes, programming with buttoned down programming languages, using a (comparatively) small number of professionally licensed third-party libraries, and all this with some painful professionally certified software development methodology.

Edit: for clarity.
Change how? EVs? EVs are expensive cars and our production capacity for them is limited, despite the growth. For the average poor person an EV is 5-10 years into the future.

Good public transportation is even farther away, you need a ton of committment, which many places don't even have, and then a good network takes 30-50 years to build.
Man, to think the pioneers of our craft were free thinkers with liberty on their minds. We could so easily have had our field founded by obsessive credentialists.

Can you imagine? “Please enter your license number and authorization code to use this compiler”.

No thanks, credentialists. I’m a better programmer than you. And part of that is because I don’t waste time trying to become an MSCE or whatever you’re trying to do.
Oh my.

First off, most people would disagree in the first place whether coding is a „craft“, a science or even an art. He‘s saying craft (which is taught by other craftsmen), but what he probably means with his certification is college/uni.

Now I‘ve seen some of the worst sins of coding ever done by CompSci „master crafters“, with PhDs producing the cherries on the cake, with Java classes having longer names than the 80 character line limit.

And I don‘t even mean the designed-by-engineers frontends with UX level „crime against humanity“ (hello, early Hadoop).

I mean actual backends where CompSci education should shine, but even very smart people don‘t grasp the inherent cumulated complexity of massive systems. Because creating complexity is what you learn at Uni, rarely removing it.

Log4J wasn‘t a bug. It wasn‘t a backdoor. It was working as specified.

Look, this stuff is hard, one way or the other. I don‘t think we need even more gatekeeping and cover-your-ass to keep out the smart people who fail at university because they challenge the status quo and an outdated curriculum.
> Software practitioners should be licensed and be bound by a professional ethical code where violation of said code would result in the revocation of the license to practice software engineering.

That seems like something that might make more sense if done minimally. For example, if we freely granted anyone who wanted a professional-license, then basically just publicly affixed warnings of blatant misconduct (like deliberately sabotaging an employer's code), then that might seem sensible.

However, professional-licensing schemes seem prone to becoming cartels.

Eventually we'll probably want a (web-of-trust)-like system to replace the ad-hoc strategies for vetting business-associates used historically. Professional-licensing bodies seem sorta similar in principle, though their heavy centralization/bureaucracy seems prone to corruption and chilling-effects while also being of questionable effectiveness.

I won’t ever forget a macroeconomics lecture I had back in university.

It was in line with “To accumulate wealth, you either have to exploit the planet, other nations or it’s own people. This applies for countries, companies and even individuals.”
At least we don't get jailed for speaking out, so dissenting opinions are still able to come out. That's the difference.

I've rescued several greyhounds from the racing industry. One time, after our old greyhound "Pasha" died, we decided to take on a challenge: a greyhound who was rehomed several times, and even abandoned by a shelter (run by a bleeding heart who had no idea how to handle dogs). Lily was a crazy black greyhound who hated all dogs and was afraid of most people. Her name wasn't Lily - she was 6 years old and didn't have a name that she responded to. For the next 2 months we basically had these rules:

* Always have treats in your pocket

* Avoid triggers (dogs) but whenever Lily sees one at a distance, give her a treat

* If she acts aggressively, don't yank the leash or shout, put a treat at her nose and call her name

That's it, in a nutshell. It works for basically any behavioural problem in any dog. (Of course, the breed will have its own personality type - they all do). 6 months later Lily would go nose-to-nose with a rabid chihuahua and remain calm. She was one of the best dogs I've ever had. Still miss the old thing.

She died last year, and we rescued 2 greyhounds (brother/sister). Dorrie is fine but Merlin was, for reasons unknown, afraid of certain types of street light. Which is a massive pain in the ass of you live in a city. We followed the exact same rules, and within a few weeks he was ignoring them. (Still gets spooked at random stuff, like the moon, or light reflected from a kitchen knife onto the ceiling)
And behold! They have killed thousands! Perhaps hundreds of thousands! And what have we done? Killed 12 in a Therac-25?

They should try being like us!
I don't take 'software eating the world' as positive. Finance has eaten the world as well, does that sound so good? The only reason it has a positive connotation is because the people quoting it tend to profit from it.

If we took software engineering seriously overall we'd still have all the things where that's already the case. Compilers, machinery, infrastructure and so on. Sure we maybe would only have two delivery platforms that don't lose your data instead of 50 that do, but is that so bad?

For many years now every time people discuss raising standards in the industry there's always the line of argument that we lose a whole bunch stuff. To me it sounds like arguing that banning people from pouring lead into the river loses you a bunch of companies. Sure, but good riddance.
The last line is not quite correct. Twitter is blocked, Tor bridges are being blocked regularly. Other than that, there are no significant bans. Nobody removes messages from Telegram, WhatsApp, Viber, Signal, Matrix.

Censorship right now only works against the .ru websites and newspapers - they can't post anything and can’t even call it war. One of them is still calling it a war, though - Meduza.

Also, independent radio stations were closed.

This document is only about access to western newspapers, websites, and chats like Matrix, Viber, Signal.
This, I think a few beers are equivalent to a meal.
That's much harder to quantify and neither regular people nor governments work like that.

Unfortunate, but that's how it is.

I work as a senior developer for one of the largest banks in the US at the moment, and have also worked for a subsidiary of the largest medical provider in the city. Neither of these companies had particularly challenging interviews. Generally, if you are IT, the interviews are simple.

The only people who I have met who turn the interview process into a gamut of algorithm puzzles, are people who happen to be very good at them. These also don't tend to be the people running things at banks, let alone large ones.
I’m not american and thought this would be a good generic word to convey “getting some answers/justice”.

I’ve had so many infuriating encounters with dismissive doctors, that I fear I’ll get into a similar situation.

The healthcare system is really strained, but does it have to give them the right to not take your “only annoying, not life threatening” level of simptoms seriously?

I do not have the resources to go for three different doctors to really make sure they are right about telling me “just don’t worry about it..”
It depends? One should wonder why no effort was made to suggest he return further east, perhaps to Russia. It is possibly an oversight. But there were other individuals who I think were turned over to Western authorities.

From my time with game modding and cheat development communities, there's some subset that is hyperfocused on money and develops a lack of morals. Some of them eventually get into CC fraud, malware, and other cybercrime for profit. A lot of them never get arrested. At best they're just insufferable assholes, but generally they're not the type of person that is a reliable worker. Basically the same reason you don't want to press a prisoner into military service.
libdtmx is great, but it's really slow. Can't do real-time detection (as in scanning from a continuous camera feed) with it.
Nobody has to ‘worry about this stuff’. In the unfortunate case power runs out you charge the mouse for two minutes and you’re good for a day of use, after which you charge it completely and you’re good for months again. A complete and total non issue.
Sounds like an enameled pan like Le Creuset might be the best for those. I haven’t had any issues with tomato sauce on cast iron though, probably takes some really long cooking to damage it.
Fasting (or IF) + keto.

It’s mostly mental, but you adapt quickly, and there are tons of health benefits beyond weight control.

To a lesser degree: eggs. They are a miracle food imho. Amazing fat/protein/vitamin combo. And anyone talking about cholesterol content hasn’t read any good science on serum cholesterol drivers in the last two decades (you can eat a dozen eggs a day and be fine).
I believe your whole premise is wrong. I only ever eat "clean food" (haven't really tried fast food for 10-15 years) and can easily go over 4 kkcal in one sitting. Feel just fine afterwards, the stomach can stretch very far if you work at it hard enough.

Nuts, cheese, and vegetable oils are really energy dense.

I'm really intrigued to know what the issue is with the tram... I live in Vilnius where the coldest it's been since I've moved here is -20c and our trolley bus network has no issues operating in that. I was thinking maybe it's because you are on the coast, so the salty air causes issues, but so are the most populated cities in Norway. Maybe it's like the UK where they figured they could save money by having less extreme hardy equipment, and so whenever it drops below freezing the entire country grinds to a halt.
Weggli(Small bread tasting a bit like a Zopf), Hörnli(The kind of pasta americans use to make Mac n Cheese), Mütschli(Small bread which is a bit harder than a Weggli), Schnitteli(Piece of bread with jam or honey etc.), Schöggeli(Small chocolate), etc...

Basically you can add -li to almost any word in swiss german and there are lots of words already which end with -li. It's a way to make a word sound "cute".

As an example, "Auto" means car, but if we call it "Autöli" it means that it's either a toy car or just a little(,cute) car :)

At one moment, he's crying about how widespread software like log4j has no corporate sponsors, and the next he's claiming that it should be illegal to write or use such software if it's not built by a megacorp with licensed engineers.

You can't have it both ways.
I’d just add it to your portfolio.

Or are you wanting people to discover you from within the app itself? If there’s an about page or credits screen somewhere you could ask the client if they’d be happy for you to add a line.

There are lots of software security certifications though, for individuals and businesses. I've work with an ISO27001 company a few times - it's the CSO's job to assure things are done securely rather than the individual devs. The same is true for most aspects of the software lifecycle - PMs, security, QA, etc do have certifications available. Devs are just the people who do the hands on work, not the ones who made sure it's done well.
And how do I explicitly ignore the other ways C communicates error conditions, like global error variables (eg. errno), inbound error values, errflags in structs?
