IMO it's a fun topic. Look up dirty cuts on /r/loseit, you'll probably find some funny pictures. I remember a photo of an absolute bean pole holding up his food for the day, IIRC something like a king-size oreo chocolate bar.

(Eating all the king size stuff like it's a "meal in a bar" is an amazing feeling btw)

The worst effect I had from any food was from salad. This was at a different point, when I was cutting down on fat and lining up my macros. I ate so much spinach (along with my almonds) that I over-oxalated myself and went to the ER with massive pain from my fresh new kidney stones.

Pooping is very nicely taken care of by hydration. This is a surprising one to a lot of people. It's not a problem. I drank over 100 oz a day. BTW never do that with mainly pickle juice. Funny experience.

I also sprinkled some other foods in there for variety. But maybe at least 2/3 of my meals were junk food for a substantial period. And for some solid period of time it was all junk. As much junk as possible. It's a very extreme state of mind when you are cutting that much so you need the emotional support of a pretty candy wrapper and child-like attitude sometimes.

Blood sugar is not a problem for me or in my family history--it's a safe zone. Subjective factors like this are very, very important btw. I was also exercising lots, like 2 hours hiking every day and the BWF routine from reddit, gobs of pull-ups since I could never do them before, etc. Resting pulse was in low 40s, always got grilled on that one when I went to the doctor.

> And just how much chocolate are we talking here?

IDK, how would you measure it going beyond the powder mix-ins? I consume at least 5 tbsp of raw cacao powder a day, plus all the other times when I'm eating chocolate, but that's less straight up chocolate.

(I also have a weird theory that chocolate and sweets are a very good match for my subjective psychology and it's kinda related in general to people who eat like Warren Buffett btw.)

Yes, CICO for sure. Plus a bunch of other models. I had never realized how much variance there was between BMR & TDEE estimation models, etc.

I ate it enough that I didn't crave it anymore and that was how I knew I had enough ;-) I had weird/off-the-beaten-path theories on "normal" food by this time though so that concept wasn't interesting to me anymore. There was no competition for what to eat and no set "healthy food" model at all.
I have bought meat at farmers markets, and make more humane choices in the grocery store where available (e.g. pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed beef), but I wouldn't pretend to think that killing animals is a good thing per se.

I'm not convinced that "humane" farming is a real answer to this problem. Unless it's theoretically scalable enough to feed the entire planet, I don't see how it would threaten the existence of less humane alternatives.

I agree that "humane" meat is the most practical option today, but Meati claims that they'll have scaled up production by the end of next year. Once it's available in grocery stores year-round at an affordable price, I see no reason not to prefer it over meat in general.

I could swear there was a discussion here or on Reddit about a year ago that talked about military insignias and how some of them were intended to be lighthearted and poke fun. Does anyone remember that thread?
Imagine a random guy posing as a construction worker, redirecting people away from some street, then laughing at everyone's gullibility for trusting his word instead of demanding proof of his credentials first. So what's the conclusion here? That people are gullible and should start demanding credentials from everyone in an orange vest? Do you really want a world where everybody mistrusts you and nobody believes your word without cryptographic proof or something?

Note that I am not claiming this is the situation with p-hacking, but I've heard a lot more about p-hacking than this article, and a prank wasn't really helpful for me either. A reader reading about a prank like this would have no way to know whether to view it like the above situation. For all they know, it could be a similar kind of not-so-funny prank. Shouldn't there be some evidence provided that p-hacking is a real problem, to actually convince people that the the vulnerability you've identified merits addressing?
Regarding the last point, I’ve recently discovered the Ski Journal and the Golfers Journal which are quarterly long form magazines that are outstanding. Does anyone know of a similar format related to software or computers in general?
Dont forget the clustering/disaster recovery. VMS' clustering was incredible.

The lesson I take from tech of this era is that good enough (and cheap) beats superior over time. Unix over VMS, Ethernet over Token Ring, etc. I posit that Unix's simplicity of that era (you really could hold the entirety of the system in your head back then, and rereading the entire manual set every few months was something considered perfectly feasible and regularly recommended for power users) was the winning formula. It certainly helped that unix was all over academia. 20 years later, when Solaris was the incredibly powerful big dog and linux was the upstart, history repeated itself.
I just ran into issues last night with t4g instances.

For the most part them have been great and the performance has been better for asp.net apps than Intel/AMD.

But I ended up with a stack overflow exception with System.Text.Json in my personal project that only occurs on arm but not others.

Still love the graviton instances.

Source?? Modern gas furnaces are 95% efficient. So only 5% of the energy in the fuel is lost.

You lose around 5% of your energy just transmitting electricity from the power plant to the home, let alone the pitiful performance of the turbine.

I've been using Dell hardware with Ubuntu for... sheez almost 15 years now? Once in a while there's some little oddity, but it mostly just shows up working out of the box and lets me do what I need to without all the annoying MacOS crap. I had to use a Mac at my last job and I absolutely hated it. I couldn't configure it the way I wanted. Stuff like 'brew' is a necessity, but not a core part of the system like apt. Keys are not where I expect them... which isn't really their fault, but when you've been using something for 20+ years, switching suuuuucks.

Pink did get rolled into Taligent, the Apple/IBM JV to overcome Windows NT.

Remember that mac 68K system calls were via ("A-line") opcodes, and their only extension/fix mechanism was head- and tail-patching those entry points. 1990 was only about 2 years after quickdraw was re-written in C instead of assembler. Also, application developers made assumptions, e.g. sending F-line opcodes thinking any 68020 machine has an FPU (sorry!). So OO looked like the way out from that tangle.

Leaking tech docs were a big problem as Apple sought buy-in from partners. The "56" watermark might have overtly supported traceability back to the recipient. In ~1993 at Taligent we would also covertly vary variable names and such in sample code we delivered to different partners, after we found the code being shared anonymously.

Due to the OO scaffolding, the simplest application required implementing ~35 classes (yuck!), but the promise of modular intermixed code/edit/data (opendoc) was largely realized (yay!) before HTML and MIME types made complex data/display trivial (oh well).

As the length of the document shows, both Taligent and Copland were ... bedeviled with a million mid-level tyrants producing huge volumes of technical blabbage. Tremendous waste of brains, while a few sharp people were poking around Mach and finessing hardware abstraction layers.

Hoops (dev-env) and i18n seemed to be the only things that came out of that, and IBM pushed i18n into Java.
I've got a few zsh functions that let me type "note" which creates a file named todays date (if it doesn't exist), inserts a timestamp, and opens it in vim. When I exit vim, the notes directory is committed to git then pushed up. This lets me keep my notes directory in sync across machines, and available via web (gitea).

note () {
DATE=`date +"%Y%m%d"`
TS=`date +"%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S"`
FILE=$HOME/Documents/notes/$DATE.txt
notegitpull
echo $TS >> $FILE
vi $FILE

This seems a little light to me, doesn’t give me the feeling of being written by a veteran coder. Unless the idea is to dumb it down for a particular audience.

The real answer is write code like you write words: Rework it to make sense to the reader. How many newlines you need as a hint for your editor to
wrap and where you put them will fall out of that.

Or autoformat! I love autoformatters!

Can I give an example to extend your comment.

I have a remote shop that takes cash and credit card payments. If i just ran a cash book like some on here are suggesting how would I know my sales for a day? I could wait until the money hits my bank account and categorise it, but then how much of that money is sales tax not sales? How much did the goods they sold cost me? Did they put all of the cash in the bank or did they steal some. Did the credit card merchant pay me everything due?

Imagine the customers have credit terms with you? Now when do you know your sales, when they pay? What if they don't pay?

Double entry has answers to all of those questions.

I mean, the problems were known in 1985-1986; a real indictment of Apple’s executive management during this era that once they finally had a solution underway, they threw it away only to start over again with Copland years later.

I mean, it wasn’t until 2003 before Apple was able to shipp an OS remotely embodying anything here for most end users. (Pre-Jaguar Mac OS X was not ready to install on grandma’s iMac.)

“The move will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower utility bills for consumers.”

I looked at my most recent PG&E gas bill. Electricity costs me about $0.35/kWh. Gas costs about $2/therm (which a quick internet search says is equivalent to $0.07/kWh).

How will switching from gas to electricity ‘lower utility bills for consumers’?
That doesn't work because of the contradiction of NERFs needing multiple images of the same geometry and stable diffusion not producing images with stable underlying geometry because it's purely image-based.
I saw this specific instance as somewhat differently. These were all people with inside knowledge of a system that they saw as broken, and wanted an effective way to communicate that fact to the world. They accomplished their goal.

So in a slight twist on your example, it'd be like if Tucker Carlson had actually been spending the past few decades putting together a documentary about how Fox News and the Republican party sold out democracy in exchange for political power and money.

I'm thankful for people like this. They make apparent the systemic flaws that we--the people of the earth who depend on those systems--may otherwise be unaware of.

I see this as a form of white-hat hacking. Telling off white-hat hackers leads to less white-hat hackers, which leads to less vulnerabilities discovered by white-hats, which leaves you open and vulnerable to grey- and black- hat hackers (e.g.: a student of dietary studies hoping to receive acclaim for their research, even if the outcome of that research being published is overall harmful).

This is one white-hat publishing one paper. I assure you there are far more grey- and black-hats out there producing a greater many more papers.

The people of the groups that we have delegated authority to (the governments, megacorps, and supporting companies/associations/schools of the world) are doing a rather mediocre job of managing all this stuff, so I don't mind an individual stepping up and trying to bring attention to something like this that has such negative effects on so many people.
Thanks a ton. Very useful. I did think about such rules. (for example work 9 to 5 etc). But it's difficult to implement since I think a lot about the work even after knowing I am not valued. (I bring a lot of value to the table. They do know. But they are playing the politics). Good point on what 'worst' peers are doing. Most of them have quit/asked to quit/moved to different teams. Very few left now to compare to. They make a lot of noise all the time and fooling the incompetent management.

I see this more like a security researcher identifying a vulnerability in a system, executing a proof of concept, and then disclosing it.

This vulnerability is being exploited by worse actors. Exposing the vulnerability publicly may bring about change to make the system less vulnerable.
I think there is more to it than meets the eye perhaps.

It is the way to understand human activity as a set of transfers beween accounts. All the money must go somewhere, perhaps spent perhaps saved in a different currency. All these different types of transactions including startup of the business that occur within can all be modeled with the "simple" concept of 2-entry system. It is a general way to track human co-operation numerically.

Losing weight is a matter of consuming fewer calories than you expend, but weight is only one indicator of health. The problem with junk food (like high-sugar candy and soda) is that it is sparse in micronutrients and fiber. A person can lose weight with a diet high in junk food and low in micronutrient-dense food if they restrict their calorie intake, but that diet will result in nutritional deficiencies that adversely impact health in ways not related to body weight.

I agree. The issue once you actually stop eating meat isn't "find something that tastes and feels like meat," it's "find something with the protein content of meat." I need concentrated blocks of protein so I can eat something besides lentils and still hit my targets.

I mostly eat plant based and tempeh, seitan, and tofu are great to keep my macros on point. I don't miss the "experience" of eating meat, but I do miss how cheap and easy it was to find a lot of protein. Now if I'm not eating home cooked meals, I mostly resign myself to supplementation with protein bars (like No Cow) or powder.

Where the stuff like Impossible and Beyond helps me is when eating out. I'd rather at least have the option for a veggie burger than not having anything but a side salad or a Portobello sandwich. I've thought it strange that more fast food joints don't sell them.
Hm, by that logic we shouldn't ever do cryptography at all I guess? I mean keys get lost all the time, what's the point?
