My unsupported personal belief is that the human body processes different carbohydrates in very different ways. Carbs that come from starch are not equivalent to carbs from cane sugar, and yet again not equivalent to honey, and again not equivalent to high fructose corn sryup, and again different from breads & pasta.

Ratio of fiber to carbohydrate and how that carbohydrate is processed by the body is also important as well.

Hence, french fries are not good, they have added sugar, the skin is removed, and they have a lot of added fats from the fried oils. That strikes me as a world of difference compared to a whole baked potato consumed with a sauteed broccolli with a side salad (plenty of fiber).

Unrelated, and unsolicited 2 cents, IMO it's all about eating as many fibrous and leafy greens as possible. At that point, a moderate side of lean meat, potato, carb, practially whatever - does not matter so long as the fibrous and leafy greens are the majority source of calories.

Why do you feel you need to change your food intake, and how do you interpret your CGM results? If you don't have a form of diabetes it doesn't really make a difference. Your glucose will go back down to 85 fairly soon.
(1) No, because they were an FBI sting.

(2) Presumably not, because they held up in court.

(3) I have no idea, and don't see the relevance to Ulbricht. By all means, prosecute any corrupt FBI agents that were involved.

I'm not making a grand normative claim about the justice of the Ulbricht sentence (I think he's a monster, but also that sentences in general are too high). I'm simply establishing that the extraordinarily common Internet narrative of "Ulbricht was never charged with a murder-for-hire scheme, and rumors about it were prejudicial to the case" is irrefutably false. That's as far as I go with this stuff.
Thanks for spotting that. I have fixed it now! Have fun learning python

To the extent that machines can’t replicate. If I place my hand on a piece that’s illegal to move, feign that I’m reconsidering, and then move a different piece, then my opponent may suspect that the originally touched piece may be moved.

How can I use these 200 IQ moves against a bot?
It’s never enough because you think external circumstances (your job, your income, your family) are responsible for your happiness - they are not.

Being happy with the way it is has very little to do with your external circumstances and more to do with your internal disposition. That’s why you can find people in all different kinds of circumstances that are happy.

How to get there is a much longer discussion, but focusing on what’s good and feeling grateful for those things is a start.
IDK if you ever saw the HN thread where they talked about oracle and change tests from a few years back, but if I had to guess, the pain just isn't worth the overall cost.

Overall I remember running into this but finding it fairly simple to add a couple specific checks around the condition where it came up in our code.
Hey I'm you but a little younger. I'm writing a book about this called "Enough.".

I think you're spot on with humans always wanting more. More money, more freedom, more relationships, etc.

If you consider a buddhist idea of suffering being the attachment to that idea, you will always be feeling this way. Could you perhaps flip your attachment to become one of detachment where having less fills you up with immense joy and gratitude? What if you looked inward and realized that you are enough and always have been?
That may be a factor, but I think a lot of it just comes from the tendency of sophomore engineers to want to use all the things in as many ways as possible.

That's definitely not what the sentencing memoranda and final sentencing order say. I'm going to tend to believe that the judge knows more about which facts were and weren't found at trial over the opinions of message boards, which, as you can see, are repeatedly and blatantly wrong about core details of the case.
Generally speaking, humans seem to want more, better. and different no matter how good we have it. Work is all about activity involving mental or physical effort to achieve a product or goal. It's not called fun, or play or sex. Perhaps if you created your own work, for your own self gratification you may be more fulfilled?

I agree - it wasn't what they were saying.

I was just stating my own experience without exposing too much personal history. For me, mild intermittent fasting led to deep intermittent fasting, multi day fasting, then week, then half a month. At that point it was anorexia not fasting.

I meant no disrespect to him at all nor the implication he was suggesting it - just wanted to throw a caution out. For some, it could lead to unhealthy excess.

Nobody at Google or Amazon will ever be fired for writing code that bans a few too many people, or labels legitimate users as fraudulent. It simply does not harm the company at all. A few people here on HN talk about how their small group went with an alternative, or they personally de-google'd, but for the rest of us, the option is cross your fingers and hope or just do what will happen when you get banned anyway.

I've talked to people who were pretty shocked by modern time estimates where they sounded shocking to me as well as an outsider of the org but working on the same technologies.

I think a lot of organizations add more and more requirements to "guarantee quality" after each incident and never really streamline again, so my first guess with a group that is opaque about the specifics is that it has gradually built up doing too much and only feels comfortable if it performs a lot of rituals. An idea of where you see the risks and what buffers you are using may make people more comfortable with your estimates being logical instead of the consequences of process gone awry.
Stating that you are sorry, while continuing with the "easily offended" spiel doesn't project sincerity.

Let me be clear - I don't agree with your perspective, either on how offended you think I am or should be, (or how relevant it is to this thread outside purposeful trolling, with personal attacks) or how negligible the naming issue is. The onus is on you to substantiate these judgements.
Potentially related: the Twinkie diet

https://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor...
I would like to add two other ways to get off the hedonic treadmill for a bit.

1. Backpacking for a 1 week time period or longer. Living out of a backpack is a great way to help rest your brain terms of its standard perspective on what it thinks it needs to be happy in day to day life. Also, there are some nice places you can walk to with a backpack on that you can not drive to.

2. A Therapeutic mushroom trip - read how to change your mind by that hippy Berkley professor. This is not for everyone though. So proceed with caution.
I was in the same situation, but even better. I was making $350,000/yr, promoted to software architect of a 100 person team, was working on interesting problems, was well liked by everyone in the office, had lots of good friends at work, and only needed to work a few hours a day, was able to decide what projects I wanted to work on.... it was a dream.

I quit to join a startup. Huge mistake.
I quit the startup to take time off, its been 2 months.

Now I am spending my time exercising, doing yoga, studying things I want to study and hanging out at cafes and travelling. But I was happier in the job.

I don't have a solution, sorry. My best guess is understanding the hedonic treadmill, focusing on appreciating what you have and meditation (the mind illuminated is a good book). But hey thats just a guess. Maybe there is no solution, maybe evolution fucked us.

Maybe referring to the fact that GCCRS duplicates a ton of effort by reimplementing the frontend (parser, borrow checker, error messages etc.) for questionable benefit since you could keep the existing frontend and just swap out the LLVM backend for GCC (as done by the rustc_codegen_gcc project).
No, I just like to make a habit of not saying things negative about specific brands or people, in general.

In the above post, I basically hint that a well-known brand, astroturfs reviews. I know that happens, because I've seen it in action, "behind the scenes." I'd rather leave things vague.

I try to keep my postings fairly positive and civil. Lots of others are much more able to do the criticism.
ru kidding me I saw a top-10 school give a professor offer to a stanford grad. She did a shitty interview talk about a PhD topic that didn't matter. All the grad stuents who heard her talk agreed.

But as it was explained to me by a member of the faculty recruiting committee, "She's a woman and the bad PhD could have been the advisor's fault". She turned down the offer for something better.

Academic recruitment is a total crock of shit. You just need to tick the boxes, "woman, top-3 school" and THEY have to justify NOT hiring you ...
Good points. However:

Although frequently highlighted as a reason for alarm, ICUs frequently run at 95% utilization or more. That's a feature of major flu seasons too, press reports of hospitals getting overloaded. It's not great, but it's not something unique to COVID.

Nowhere ran out of ventilators, if I recall correctly. Demand for it vanished as doctors realized that the model projections were wrong, and that they'd been over-using ventilators anyway (and thus contributing to the initial spike of early deaths).

The San Antonio story you cite says this:

"We've got two slots at one of our bigger hospitals for people who pass. We need more than two. We had 14 die in the hospital this weekend. I don't want to alarm people, because they are not all COVID cases"

Again, the numbers we are talking about here are small even at the very start when doctors were unfortunately raising the death rate by over-using ventilators. A hospital needing assistance because it has a grand total of two places to put bodies is not a world-changing crisis that needed to wreck the economy, destroy people's lives and create the most totalitarian society seen in the west since WW2.
I'm in a very similar situation, and I don't think it's the "hedonic treadmill" as others have suggested. I believe the key here is you saying "I dream about doing my own thing or retiring early to do other projects.".

I, personally, have a ton of different interests, yet have to spend most of my time doing only one (my job). I also help around the house, spend time with my wife and kids, etc. But that means very little time to pursue most of my interests (and when I have time, I don't always have the energy). I don't think you're wanting "more" in general, just more freedom to do other projects that interest you.

I know I personally yearn for the day I can retire and work on whatever I want. Unfortunately I won't be retiring early, so I'm doing all I can now to make sure I can retire comfortably and have the money I need to allow me to pursue my interests. To help in the meantime, I'm acknowledging each little victory towards that goal and also trying to organize/automate other things in my life to allow me to have more time now.
I think that's not completely obvious how it works at the moment. Russia has unilaterally required payments in Rubles despite long-term contracts saying something else. Some smaller countries have refused and got cut of any deliveries. EU has generally declared not to pay in Rubles, but I don't know what e.g. Germany does at the moment. There is no realistic exchange rate for the Ruble because Western companies don't want to touch it and Russian companies have been forced to buy Rubles for most of the foreign currency they get.
Not according to this list:

potatoes have like 3g of protein per potato. And to stay full you eat _a lot_ of potato. I tried it! It was easy, then not easy, then totally shitty, then fine, and then I was done (28 days). I ate a few sweet potatoes along the way for B vitamins.
It's strong because they are burning foreign currency and stopping people from pulling out. Same thing that Sri Lanka did.

I do always want more, but more of what I have been pursuing, to which I have been content in the incremental progress.

But show much of that progress is towards activities which transcend the work day. It is my personal deviation from “heroic materialism” that has made me a much more enlightened man.
The way to get better at writing is to write.

I would say that's part of the way to get better at writing. But I'd add, to paraphrase Stephen King from On Writing[1],

"To get better at writing, write a lot and read a lot."

Granted, King was speaking mainly to writers of fiction, but I think the advice holds just as well for technical writing or anything else.

You've gotten some answers, some of them good, but I haven't seen this one yet and it changed my life.

You can accept that this feeling is normal - that your hunger for something more is insatiable, that this is just how things are and to accept it. That's one way to view it, sure, but do you really want to package that feeling up, box it, and push it away? You might push it so far down you lose sight of it and forget about it entirely. This can work for some, but these things have a habit of popping back up later in life with much more veracity. It can fester like a splinter in your mind.

What so many people are suggesting is foreclosing[1] on figuring out what you want. What gives your life meaning is completely aligned with figuring out what you want and who you are. You're in a great position to do just that - many people in recent years have found themselves in exactly the same position and reëvaluated their lives.

To do so, understand that finding your own meaning involves both a high degree of exploration and a low degree of certainty. When you find it, you'll know because you will feel a low degree of exploration and a high degree of certainty. Exploring what you need is a process of making hypotheses, trying them out, and evaluating their effects on yourself. Do they make you feel satisfied with your life, or do they leave you wanting more? If they leave you wanting more, keep exploring. You don't have to foreclose.

I have no respect for The Guardian. MacGann is an absolute dirtbag, as even a cursory investigation would show. This is not Whistleblowing. This is a disgruntled guy who made a ton of money on Uber stock and is disgruntled he didn't make more. Is he going to give all his Uber money to charity? No? Then he should really not be acting like a whistleblower.

Also, what Uber did is what every single corporation does with respect to its interactions with the regulatory states across the world.

People have this fantasy that regulations are these perfect bodies of law that really do accomplish their stated goals. WRONG! They are more often counterproductive crap that people work around because they have to. The regulations create incumbents who have an interest in maintaining regulations because it cements their market power. The citizens are bamboozled by useful idiots like The Guardian journalists who just spout the party line without actually investigating how regulations actually work on the ground.

Is there a single person at the Guardian who is aware that Private Equity firms and other investors bought up all the taxi medallions in NYC and were extracting monopoly rents to consumers, while simultaneously abusing a pliant population of renter/drivers. The profits were going to the medallion holders. Consumers were being f'ed by a corrupt and inefficient system, and drivers were getting the shaft. Only politicians and the investors were pleased.

Yeah Uber busted that wide open. Drivers don't like the situation now? Guess what, if you stay off Uber and use a competitor, you will shrink Uber's dominance over time. There are competitors in every city.
I agree with the debunking that fats are not bad for you, though, not all fats are equal. The rule of thumb is that fats that remain liquid at body temperature can be considered "dietary fat". The only problem with "dietary fat" is they have a load of energy on them and that can blow your calorie budget for the day quite easily if you overdo them.

Fats though that stay solid at body temperature arguably should be completely avoided. Hence the big-mac with a 1-2 liter soda, loads of unhealthy fat paired with loads of sugar, all with very minimal fiber..

I also have reactive hypoglycemia and I tried the potato diet out and had zero crashes the entire time. It's just not possible (for me) to eat enough calories, quickly enough, to cause a crash. I was only on it for a few days (~5), precisely for the logistic issues that the article and the original diet post discuss - I couldn't cook and eat enough calories to not be absolutely starving after the first couple days.

But zero crashes, monitored by finger stick blood glucose. Crazy stuff, for someone who has them all the time.
The Senior Managers Liability part means it's a criminal offence in the UK - so basically you could never visit the UK for fear of arrest.
I think you drastically over-estimate how "fulfilling" something like therapy is. Day in and day out you will see people you desperately wish to help, who if they
listened to 20% of what you offered would see their lives change immensely, only to watch them repeat the same behavior without change day in and day out. Worse, if you deal with depressed or addicted people it's just a matter of time before a client kills themselves.

Grass is always greener, but we have it easy in software and it's good to remember that.

All that said, I've been through the types of discontent that OP mentions. I've worked many interesting software jobs, started multiple businesses, failed many times, succeeded, made lots of money, shipped an indie game that was an expression of myself -- a dream come true, and at the end of it all... emptiness and a feeling of not-enough-ness (not depression!).

If one does not find a philosophy that accepts this as reality at its core, you'll be chasing your tail until the day you die. I personally prefer Buddhism without the ceremonial pomp, and in that vein I'd recommend Noah Levine: https://www.againstthestream.com/dharma-talk-and-meditation-...

Edit: 100% agree though that giving back to people is wonderful. Some of my best experiences have been the happiness in helping someone else succeed.
My worst habits are largely (TT)RPG manuals. I've got a huge collection from DTRPG especially. Sometimes one RPG purchase will have ten/twenty PDF files inside it (player's guides, GM guides, adventures/modules, etc). (Not to mention the combinatorial explosion if you ever talk yourself into a big sales bundle or two.) There's a bunch of weird reasons to keep them around "read" or not, and make them searchable if I need to look something up or am trying to remember a detail. Syncing some of them to my kindles or to other tablet devices from time to time can be handy for portable retrieval (or on the go skimming). I eventually realized my Books folders were huge and unmanageable even with a detailed folder structure and have been happy with moving that all to Calibre with better tags and metadata management.
If you're following Google's SRE all of your infrastructure should be pretty easy to replicate with a sample of production data. You can try to crash it in calorimetry to your heart's content, away from production systems. You might even learn (or teach) some things through the process of creating and attempting to destroy a test bed of this nature. They (https://sre.google) cover this in chapter 17.

> The budgets and overspending were also correct (where I checked)

I haven't read the book, but in the movie, it claims that the army had spent $14 Bn at the time of the Congressional Committy on April 24th, 1987 where as it had only spent $8Bn out of the $12Bn allocated.[1]

Beyond that simple fact check, sure the programs did exist but there are numerous other issues.

The most significant were the subjects of the destructive tests, in which Col. James Burton insisted on destroying many fully functioning combat loaded Bradleys by firing RPG's at them from multiple different angles. The Army thought it would be worth while to do some tests but not to the extent which Burton demanded. The Army filled the ammo shells with sand and the fuel tanks with water as to be bale to measure damage done to them from sharp metal. That way you could actually account for the damage done.

According to the Col, this was a bad faith cover up that the Bradley wouldn't survive and instead be a flaming wreck. A Bradley would indeed blow up and be turned into a flaming pile of melted aluminum from an AT weapon hit, but that was always known - it wasn't designed to be able to resist such weapons. Neither did the previous troop carrier it was replacing. Nor did the Russian equivalents do so either.
