people in this thread seriously seem to think there's some meaningful distinction between the bank notes that they collect at their bullshit jobs and wic coupons for feeding children
or opting for healthy options that aren't actually healthy, like salad covered in 600 calories of ranch dressing

I used to eat at a salad bar every day for years. I got to observe what all kinds of people put into a “salad”.

My salads: spinach, romaine, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, chick peas, mushrooms, balsamic vinegar (no oil).

Obese people’s salad: Four hard boiled eggs, ham, three leaves of lettuce, shredded cheese, a cup of ranch dressing.
An overlooked benefit of exercising, is that if you are eating unhealthy or eating too much, then you will instantly know it when exercising.

Running is quite good for this, it will tell you how things are going, far better than any scale.
I don’t think you realise how calories can sip in unnoticed and calorie burning as well.

So, I’m fat. All my life I’ve been yoyo-ing in terms of weight. Sometimes methodically sometimes by the ear.

A few years back, I went from 130kg to 85kg methodically. Calorie counting, watching macros, targeted exercises, all the good stuff.

What I found out was, if I didn’t diet and just logged my calories, I was consuming 4000 sometimes even 5000 calories per day easily. And it didn’t feel like I was eating much.

Full English for breakfast, that’s about 1k right there. One or two lates, another 300-400 calories. Maybe pair that with a little pastry, another 300 on top of that. Lunch, burger and fries, big coke to drink, toss in another k. After work a couple of pins with the lads, another 300-400. Get back, have dinner, maybe snack something while falling asleep to Netflix, another 1k easy. Don’t get me started on getting pissed with 7-8 pints and then devouring 3 big macs like it’s nothing.

I also found out I’m burning far more calories then I was expecting for my sedentary lifestyle. Just the walk to work, climbing some stairs, moving around the office, going to lunch, doing some house chores put me in close to 1k burned. Without feeling like I was making any effort.

In my case, 4k input with 1k output still yields 3k which is 1k over what I should have.

It is very possible in your case your input is 3k, your output 1k so your staying exactly as you are.

Count your calories, wear a apple watch and you’ll find out precisely.
I've hit this before as well, and have come to the conclusion that, at least for me, detailed meal planning is not sustainable in the long run.

This is one reason why I think that dieting advice that is simple and straightforward has the most success. Some examples:

1. Cut out all sugar-sweetened beverages. This is a pretty easy rule to follow, and even if you find yourself missing a soda or something, my recommendation is to buy something like unsweetened iced tea and then add a couple sugar cubes - you'll be likely to add much less sugar than if you buy sweetened tea.

2. Cut out any refined carbohydrates. This was certainly harder for me, but since the rule is so simple and easy to follow, whenever I got hungry for carbs I had to make due with fruits or vegetables, so I ended up eating a lot fewer calories in any case, got more of other nutrients, and eventually just got "bored" with trying to find a snack and stopped eating until my next mealtime.
> To lose weight you have to do a lot more exercise than you think consistently. And you have to eat a lot less than you think.

Exercise doesn't help very much, it's really all about diet. Plus if you are exercising a lot, you'll feel hungier and it'll be harder mentally to not eat more to compensate.
This never mentions the fact that Karen Kempner (the mother of Mark Zuckerberg) is a psychiatrist. In my opinion, an exceptional understanding of the human psyche is a necessary condition for becoming successful with a social product like Facebook.
I can’t agree with this enough. From 2000-2012, I was a part time fitness instructor and I did heavy cardio at least 10 hours a week without fail. I also trained for half marathons later on. I was easily burning 3000-5000 calories a week and I could eat anything and not gain weight.

As soon as I stopped, my weight ballooned. Even when I started eating less, I still can’t get my eating habits in sync with my reduced (3-5 hours a week) exercise schedule. I’ve been consistency about 15-20 pounds over my personal ideal weight.

Besides, my body can’t handle the type and frequency of exercise that it could in my mid 20s to mid 30s.
Meal 1: 1/2 cup of pasta with vegetables, 8 oz. of white wine

Meal 2: Half of the white wine

Meal 3: Everything else, other half of the white wine
The answer seems very straightforward: the vaccines have at best minimal effect on preventing infection after a few months (some data, including the Walgreens long-term data, suggest negative efficacy after about 4-5 months).

Since lockdowns don't and can't last forever, and the virus isn't going to go away, infection rates now are highest in places that had fewer infections in the past -- in immunocompetent adults, at least, recovery from infection confers much longer-lasting and robust immunity than the vaccine (which is only presenting spikes)

This is the reason that right now, world wide, several of the biggest hot spots are places that "did well" early on by having draconian lockdowns -- they have a higher proportion of the population who weren't exposed initially, back when the virus was less transmissible and lockdowns could somewhat reduce spread.

The problem with the lockdown strategy was always that someday you have to come back outside, and the virus will wait as long as it takes. (And then also, we have pushed the virus to become more transmissive to the point where lockdowns can't really prevent spread anymore (which is why everywhere but China has given up on them))
I'm well aware the cause of inflation is bad monetary policy.

But now we have two options: control inflation by causing a severe downturn that will be painful, or control inflation with supply-side economics.

We need to match supply and demand -- either by reducing demand with a recession, or by increasing the supply of goods and services. Increasing the supply side of the equation will be better for everyone.
I think I'm more talking about the worst worst case i can think of.

A citizen of EU, coming to US, working and making good money, and somehow lose the ability to work. Could they go back, and continue to live reasonable life there without having to worry about things that they normally wouldnt if they haven't come to us in the first place?
> To lose weight you have to do a lot more exercise than you think consistently. And you have to eat a lot less than you think.

I think this is a misleading cliche. I seem to have a lost a significant amount of weight just from eating less, without exercise. Which makes sense.

It's amazing how many miles you'd have to run to burn the calories you get from a Big Mac. Basically, our food is super dense in calories, and our bodies are extremely efficient machines (meaning, they don't burn as many calories as you'd think when exercising). So, it should be much easier to lose weight by eating less than by exercising more.

> Most people just don't have that kind of willpower.

Most people aren't motivated enough. But "willpower" is a misleading and thus destructive way to describe motivation.

You increase motivation by thinking about whether the positive thing you want is "worth" whatever you're doing to get it. In other words, staying focused on the value. You don't increase motivation by "exerting willpower." That whole concept for motivation is a recipe for failure.

One of my roommates tried everything, including good hard exercise and all sorts of diets. Nothing seemed to be working. It was kind of perplexing me, actually.

Then we started working the same schedule, breakfast together. The whole thing unravelled with a casual comment he made. "Wow, you're really stingy with the sugar in your coffee."

Except I wasn't. I was actually indulging myself, like two tablespoons.

Show me how you make coffee? Ah. Yes. If you put 500 calories of sugar and cream into your coffee multiple times a day, you're not gonna lose weight.

He didn't believe me at first! I had to measure his quantities out and calculate it and show him. Liquids/powders in general seem to trip people up. We are bad at measuring them by sight. Soda, mayonnaise and dips. The oil in a nice salad dressing applied over-liberally can exceed the calories in the burger that goes with it.

Try measuring/weighing these sorts of foods and looking up their caloric content if you haven't before. You may be a shocked as my poor roommate was.

I've had this unbearable urge to binge eat and it started a week ago. I'm sure it's something psychological that is causing this but I can't isolate the root of the problem. I have tried to fight it by taking walks, being social but it's failure every time. I always cave in and eat all the fast food, ice cream, cookies I can get my hands on but literally nothing seems to get rid of the urge to binge. How can a person get rid of the binge eating virus?
It's sort of surprising that loud announcements about no longer enforcing western copyrights haven't been made.

I think he’s wrong - iirc intermittent fasting helps because it just makes it easier for people to maintain a true calorie deficit.
25-30 minute jog is about 200 calories buried. That can amount to 7-12% increase depending your body size. This is not small or insignificant amount especially for the amount of input work done.

Small boosts add up to big changes. It's always still about deficit.

> Now, the obvious thing is N-squared and clearly terrible, but let's do it anyway and see if we can get some insight and improve it..."

By "let's do i anyway" do you mean to implement it? That's a terrible strat. You should not be touching the keyboard until you have an optimized or at least final design. If coding up the naive algorithm gives you some "insight" that you don't expect to have seen by thinking through the problem beforehand, you need to invest more in logical thinking.

This applies to both interviews and to your normal work.
While figuring things out you might consider ordering a couple weeks supply of Soylent or a competitor. They're palatable enough, very convenient, and importantly for you (and past me) is that while you're figuring out what you want from your diet and getting your head straight it's consistent, healthy food.

Good luck.
Steele's paper was mentioned in the earlier link.

If goto is easily available in the high level language then creating a state machine is trivial I guess. If it's not then the compiler should be able to do TCO with jumps/gotos in the output asm or transpiled code (IIRC Bison's output uses gotos even though the input yacc rules clearly have none).

I continue to feel I'm missing something vital.
Much different. When you are reporting histograms you can combine them and see the true p50 or whatever across all the individual systems reporting the metric.
Or alternatively, they know they are eating too much, but simply don't have the will power to quit. I'm no food expert, but to me it looks like any other addiction. They rely on food emotionally, so when they are ashamed or depressed that they aren't losing weight, they turn to food, which continues the addiction cycle.
Pretty sure the gp was saying that it's surprising/appaling so many people in the US are living in poverty. Not that relying on welfare is bad, or that buying food any particular way is bad.

That's just nonsense. Been there and more, and trivially easily added fat.

Yould be pretty angry with people who started taking dumps in your backyard, you wouldn't consider yourself unbalanced to feel anger at that right?

Bitcoin is taking a metaphorical dump in my backyard and I'm angry about it. We're likely to blow past the 1.5°C climate target soon, it was too high anyway, we'll probably blow past 2, and I've got two kids who I don't want to die due to food shortages caused by the bad weather, or wars caused by food shortages.

Why bitcoin and not <list of things that use power>? Because Bitcoin etc. don't give us anything. Nothing. No-one can point at anything these things are good for. No-one in this thread, no-one before when I've asked.

Shit in your own backyard.
The reality is many drugs have long term effects, we just can't see them yet. But if you are close to someone who is a user, over the long run you will notice differences. Sometimes its just that they don't have the same spark. Regardless, 100 years down the line we will look back in horror at the state of pharmaceutical drugs. All it takes is going to a doctor, saying you have anxiety, and the doctor pops out a script. His "medical degree" and insurance demands that he "treats" his patient.

> It's more like they DO NOT want to believe how small portion sizes are required to consistently lose weight.

I found the same when I started counting calories. An extra slice of wholegrain bread is how much?!

Even just a thin spread of butter or margarine on the bread would blow my daily budget by a lot, so I had to find alternatives for that (like mustard).

Given my own preferences for having a "proper meal", I ended up only eating twice a day. I focused on making it high-protein and high-fiber to make me feel full longer, cutting down on regular carbs as needed.
Keto diets are both safe and effective. I have yet to meet somebody following one who didn't lose weight.

I feel like this topic is basically resolved. Stop eating carbs.

I weigh 350 pounds. I'm very obese. I know this.

When I was a teenager, I looked at people who weighed 300+ pounds and though, how do you get that way. Don't you realize that you are gaining weight? Don't you know that you just have to eat less to lose weight?

Anyway, now I realize that I am hungry. It never goes away unless I eat a significant amount of food. My body told me to eat, so I ate.

It doesn't even take that much extra food to gain a lot of weight. One extra piece of cake a week is a few pounds in a year. If you live a few years, it adds up. You gain weight in kilograms and lose weight in grams.

Hunger is a sensation that happens inside a person's body and mind. You cannot compare your hunger to my hunger.

So many diets talk about not being hungry while you are on the diet. I've been to dieticians and told them I'm hungry, and they suggest eating more protein or more fiber. That does help, but I still feel hungry.

There is a very good chance that someone is writing a reply with some suggestion as to how I should eat so that I'm not hungry. Thank you for the thoughts, but realize that you don't live in my body, you don't know how I feel, you don't know what I've tried.

Hunger sounds like a problem to people. Hunger feels like a problem inside the body. People still tell me I shouldn't be hungry. Maybe part of the solution is realizing that eating to satisfaction is ... bad for some people. Maybe it's Ok to be a little hungry.

Anyway, these are just some thoughts. I'm down 30 pounds from my max. I think I have a good mentality now, but it took years to get here.

Much of the brain is about error correction of information transfer, bc two neurons have a typical *less than ten percent* chance of a message from A reaching B.

I lost 60lbs in about a year almost exclusively based around a large amount of exercise.

My diet was bad and I was eating far above 2000kcal on many days. I just exercised a lot. 1h of fairly intense cardio at least 6 days a week, though I would always round up to the next 10 min mark and do more like 70 or 80 min per day.

Some days I would order pizza or something and some dessert in the evening when I knew this would push me into the 3000kcal range and in return did 2h or 3h exercise routines fairly regularly, often times while eating the pizza.
There was no patent protection back in these days. A smart craftsman could not draw on recorded repositories of past work and if he came up with a new design, anyone could copy it and sell in competition.
Some worked there way into general use, but as far as I know there was never a 'next generation' in most cases. The innovator kept it totally secret. So a machine that, say, pitted olives, could make a man rich as bought olives and pitted them with his machine and sold the pitted olives. Other people had to pit them with sharp sticks or whatever. Some Roman nobles killed craftsmen who made them a good work to ensure no-one else could have one. Things stumbled along until the 1500's when Kings would grant Crown Patents so only you could make them. This gradually expanded to the modern patent system in the 1700-1800's??

Back in Greek times smart people guarded their secrets - and these were all hand made, holes drilled, bearings made, plates scribed with the workman's notes often in his head. Logically a mechanism would be made, improved, improved again etc. There may have been a dozen preceding Antikythera mechanisms on an improvement path, as well as successor machines - none of which survived to the present.

The precious nature of brass bronze meant that anyone who found would melt it to sell for weapons etc. There may be dozens more hidden under water in collapsed caves etc.??
Walking 5 miles a day can be done in an hour and a half and can burn ~250-500 calories. That’s half a pound to a pound of fat per week, which is pretty significant.
No kangaroo references? Boo!
You, this.

I can second this fully. Figured out the same thing when I spent a solid week nazi tracking my eating.

The thing that blew my mind. I always used heavy cream in my coffee. 150cal per 2 tablespoons. I would use like a quarter cup. I switch to milk, just 150cal per cup.

The little things really damn matter.
And if you do find yourself in circumstances where you're burning a significant enough amount of calories on a daily basis (say, a highschool water polo player treading water for 3 hours a day, working out to somewhere between 1000-2000 calories), then it just builds bad eating habits, because you get used to eating too much.

The only real long-term solution to weight management is not wanting to eat too much. Willpower controlled diets work on the short term, which might be fine if an individual's level of desired consumption is sufficiently close to their daily caloric needs, but are doomed in the long term.
carbs is actually where im struggling the most. I defaulted to just making sides of white rice with everything for so long. I at least switched to brown rice, quinoa and couscous to make it a little easier but learning new sides to go with proteins is tedious. I struggle with feeling full too.
