Your body craves carbohydrates, it's like an addiction. Overcoming that addition is all about training your willpower and delayed gratification.

It's the same as smoking. Strong willed people can stop smoking in a heartbeat. Weak minded people cannot, their minds are simply too weak to resist smoking and they need it every 2 hours. Same with eating.

Next time you feel that hunger feeling, out of spite just don't eat and the craving goes away within 1-2 hours and you'll get long term endorphins instead that make you feel good for your mind being stronger than that craving. It's not so hard, you just have to be a bit stronger than that desire.

You can also try fasting. Just don't eat for 24h and you'll feel a lot better than if you ate.

Some people simply cannot delay gratification, they need to be on their phone, watch tv constantly to get their dopamine hit. However, other people are able to delay gratification and get a much larger amount of endorphins and also the better ones.

It should become a habit to receive your dopamine hits from resisting the temptation and being stronger than this degenerate craving for unhealthy, processed food carefully designed to make the population addicted to their produce to buy more and more and eat more, so that they make more money.

There is a way to get out of this easily, don't eat any more sugar and carbohydrates, but plants and meat, which is the keto diet. It's very healthy and natural as well. You'll drop a lot of weight and you can still eat well.

For me, an hour of runtime would do (once the battery was 4 years old).

For it to be a commercial success, I think you’d have to be able to run 5 hours in a day (but not all at once and battery swapping/charging on the truck from 12V would be okay).

I believe that in the US it's common to prepare a survey for one's Master's Degree thesis. Can anyone confirm or deny that? I really really wish that people published their thesii, since they're an absolutely invaluable source of info that's typically not available anywhere else. (Except scraps distributed across dozens of blog posts...)

I'd like to make that happen, but I don't know how. It'd have to be something catchy and viral.

2 primary reasons.

A reservoir of easy to store for long periods of time food source is a national security issue for every state, so it tends to be subsidized everywhere.

Stable foods can be shipped and stored more cheaply.

This coupled with the native desire for salty/sweet/fat puts the modern human at a terrible disadvantage in our current environment.

I have a younger partner who does infosec - she's never seen Hackers and I skimmed it, thinking about showing it to her. It's fun, but it's aged poorly to the point that it'd be too cringe to show her. Sneakers, in contrast, has aged really well. It's the only film I've seen that "gets" the hacker ethos, its culture and history... and has relatively realistic depictions of hacking (a lot of social engineering, research and a bit of computer hacking).

A lot of fantastic actors, and a real treat to see one of the handful of films River Phoenix did (taken far too soon).
Pull collection eventually became a real scaling bottleneck for Monarch.

The way the "pull" collection worked was that there was an external process-discovery mechanism, which the leaf used to connect to the entities it was monitoring, the leaf backend processes would connect to the monitored entities to an endpoint that the collection library would listen on, and those entities collection libraries would stream the metric measurements according to the schedules that the leaves sent.

Several problems.

First, the leaf-side data structures and TCP connections become very expensive. If that leaf process is connecting to many many many thousands of monitored entities, TCP buffers aren't free, keep-alives aren't free, and a host of other data structures. Eventually this became an...interesting...fraction of the CPU and RAM on these leaf processes.

Second, this implies a service discovery mechanism so that the leaves can find the entities to monitor. This was a combination of code in Monarch and an external discovery service. This was a constant source of headaches an outages, as the appearance and disappearance of entities is really spiky and unpredictable. Any burp in operation of the discovery service could cause a monitoring outage as well. Relatedly, the technical "powers that be" decided that the particular discovery service, of which Monarch was the largest user, wasn't really something that was suitable for the infrastructure at scale. This decision was made largely independently of Monarch, but required Monarch to move off.

Third, Monarch does replication, up to three ways. In the pull-based system, it wasn't possible to guarantee that the measurement that each replica sees is the same measurement with the same microsecond timestamp. This was a huge data quality issue that made the distributed queries much harder to make correct and performant. Also, the clients had to pay both in persistent TCP connections on their side and in RAM, state machines, etc., for this replication as a connection would be made from each backend leaf processes holding a replica for a given client.

Fourth, persistent TCP connections and load balancers don't really play well together.

Fifth, not everyone wants to accept incoming connections in their binary.

Sixth, if the leaf process doesn't need to know the collection policies for all the clients, those policies don't have to be distributed and updated to all of them. At scale this matters for both machine resources and reliability. This can be made a separate service, pushed to the "edge", etc.

Switching from a persistent connection to the clients pushing measurements in distinct RPCs as they were recorded eventually solved all of these problems. It was a very intricate transition that took a long time. A lot of people worked very hard on this, and should be very proud of their work. I hope some of them jump in to the discussion! (At very least they'll add things I missed/didn't remember... ;^)
Same here. I've never been obese or anything close to it, but even just eating healthy to maintain my weight or lose a little weight can be unpleasant. That unpleasantness is amplified 3x if I'm spending my days aimlessly as opposed to hyper-focused on activities that put me into flow, e.g. a work project I care deeply about and that requires lots of coding.
> Depending on your weight, an hour of cardio is only 500 or so calories.

That's a massive number of calories! Might not look like much compared to how much is in, say, a bagel, but use a calculator to figure out what your basal metabolic rate is (what your body consumes just you doing nothing, sort of) and you'll find that extra 500 gives you a ton of headroom in whatever your diet is. A week and a half of that would be a solid pound on it's own (yes yes a pound is less calories than 500x10.5, but weight loss is not 1:1 like that for many reasons).

As zolpidem is associated with drug tolerance and substance dependence, its prescription guidelines are only for severe insomnia and short periods of use at the lowest effective dose [1].

Zolpidem increases risk of depression, falls and bone fracture, poor driving, suppressed respiration, and has been associated with an increased risk of death [2].

I would recommend you to seek a second opinion from another medical professional about whether this family member should perhaps slowly taper off of the Zolpidem.

This.

It is the annoying, aggravating, all consuming hunger that is the cause, not a misunderstanding about how many calories are in what foods.

I would have thought by now science would have a drug to modulate abnormal levels of hunger, but we still don't have one. And we don't know what causes them.
“Showing an ad” is a bad paradigm. Instead, get to know me. Find out my values and needs. Then, sell to me. Make me feel like you understand my problem and then show me several good options. That’s how you get the users with money to spend.

“Eating less often” is also the primary recommendation given by longevity researcher Dr David Sinclair regarding how we can live longer. Not because it stops you being overweight, but because it triggers hormetic adaptations in the body that ultimately extend your lifespan. So being hungry definitely isn’t bad.

I wonder what is causing the bottleneck in the TLS case, particularly with kTLS where the CPU is only at 2% but the throughput remained the same. Perhaps there is a limited size stream buffer somewhere in the crypto side that doesn't allow high throughputs whereas the raw networking buffers are more dynamic? I know the Caddy guys read HN so maybe they can chime in with some actual knowledge :).
Yeah, being handwavy about IA is absolutely a common sin of weak designs. I love getting a design that's technically sound, not just pretty.

Another problem I've seen at work with the "design first" approach vs planning for technical feedback on an initial design: our frontend engineers would take the design and implement it exactly as is, papering over differences between the data entry and the underlying data model as needed — then users get confused about what exactly each option or interaction does. It's close enough to be serviceable (and not get fixed) but different enough to be annoying.

The ways in which you can scale Prometheus: you can scale anything.

It does not; itself, have highly scalable properties built in.

It does not do sharding, it does not do proxying, it does not do batching, it does not do anything that would allow it to run multiple servers and query over multiple servers.

Look. I’m not saying that it doesn’t work; but when I read about borgmon and Prometheus: I understood the design goal was intentionally not to solve these hard problems, and instead use them as primitive time series systems that can be deployed with a small footprint basically everywhere (and individually queried).

I submit to you, I could also have an influxdb in every server and get the same “scalability”.

Difference being that I can actually run a huge influxdb cluster with a dataset that exceeds the capabilities of a single machine.
It's much the same with chronic alcohol usage, and a very similar pathway. Both alcohol and benzodiazepines bind to GABA receptors, and through several difference mechanisms (desensitization, downregulation through gene expression, degradation), these receptors become less sensitive.

GABA receptors are critical to sleep. After prolonged usage of alcohol, or benzos, sleep often becomes impossible without an ever-larger dosage.

These sleeping difficulties sometimes persist for quite a while, and sleep disturbances are one of the primary causes of relapse in alcoholics. People learn that alcohol helps them to fall asleep. Even if the quality of sleep is poor, it's substantially better than no sleep at all, as anyone who has gone through what you did surely knows.

This can’t possibly be the example that you’re referring to. Do you have an example of what you actually stated in your comment? Where someone just called you a racist out of the blue for no reason?

You’ll get no debate from me against the idea that all people, including Black people, can be racially discriminatory.

Now this can be done with AR.

Your implementation is very tight. I can see a lot of potential here. I'd throw money at in app purchases of other setups and even better would be the ability to load in my own samples and customize the associated movements, etc.

Is this a side project or are you planning on monetizing?

Try to take a period of reprograming, where you just stick with it. Also consider a detox. Get all the garbage you don't want to eat out of the house, and insist on not buying it. Whenever you get a craving, just go drink water instead.

Lastly, consider carnivore or alternate day fasting. You can get there, if you want to.

This is just a few dollars worth of copper and explosives.

Attach it to a few tens of dollars worth of drone. (The cheapest drones are under 10 dollars now).

A country could release 1000 of these and direct them at any military target, and they'll do massive amounts of damage at very low costs.

Most anti-drone defences can be defeated simply with a redesign of the drone (eg. Use UWB for Comms, and have dual gyros and use a camera for location instead of GPS).

I think the only reason we haven't seen this on the battlefield yet is that we haven't yet had a war between the right countries. But we will.

I guess there's a traditional division between 'really existing socialism', which is often messy, and marxism as a body of work for understanding society.

One observation I would make is that, for a social revolution to occur, you actually need a lot of people from basically every corner of society to want it to happen: even elites. So when they have occurred, it has generally been because the preceding situation was so awful that basically nobody, even the relatively privileged in it, felt it was tolerable. China and Russia both clearly qualify, but also countries like Haiti, or France. People tend to forget the mess preceding the revolution, and focus on the mess during and after.

My experience is that hunger is a lot like the sensation you get when quitting smoking. And eating while hungry is definitely triggering the same stuff than smoking an overdue cigarette. It’s something in the throat that has must have neural connections in the upper back (at least for me!).

What I am trying now is to find hunger not too unpleasant. It feels unpleasant at first, then if you think about it, it’s not painful, it’s just different.

Like smoking, temptation is difficult to resist, so things like working in a place with no access to food is a must have. And filling days with activities which make you think about something else also works. I have really bad sleep sometimes, and when I do, my resistance to temptation is less efficient. So you need to know that kind of stuff about yourself.

I don’t know man, just do what you can.

I have much more respect for russian papers in pharmacology in general than for your average american study.
There are many reasons to this:
1) a lot of their research is public. They don't have broken incentives, e.g. they can study the tech that the body use, such as peptides. Big pharma can't leverage endogenous peptides because they're not patentable, a true tragedy that considerably sets back medecine progress.
2) they study outside of the boxe things, they are not afraid to do human trials, they have expertise in gerontology (oxidative stress, bioenergetics, etc) which are often very lacking in american studies.

also, those russian researches are generally validated by non-russian working groups.

as an example, many of the favorites nootropics people experience have been discovered in russia (racetams, bromantane, etc)
Yep, A LOT of politics in eurosong.... some come from neighboring countries giving votes to eachother, some due to "politics", some due to people living across the border, and a lot due to similar cultures, especially with etno-sounding songs.

When I was a kid growing up in Central Texas we didn't have air conditioning. In the summer we did sleep with the windows and the exterior doors open. There were screens on the windows and at the exterior doors for air circulation. You could sleep well with a lightweight sheet. Being young and being accustomed to spending all the time outdoors that I was allowed, I was totally acclimated to the situation. The worst part of all that were mosquitoes and chiggers in the summer. Once the nights became cool enough to require a blanket we kept the windows closed until things started to warm again in March or April. We had a gas floor furnace that heated the house. On the coldest days all of us could be found in the living room where the floor furnace was located.

By the time I was a teenager we had moved into a house with window units for AC and central heating.

Anything is doable if you are prepared. I suspect a lot of people today have become acclimated to an unnaturally limited temperature range and therefore they can't handle being outside all day in the direct sun without needing a way to cool down. Same thing in winter. People have acclimated to a range of 65-80 and anything outside that range requires different clothing, moving chilled or heated air, etc.
