No, it's just dropping carbs. You're a sample size of 1.

All the people on loseit are a much bigger sample and low carbs works, just not quite as fast as the more extreme keto or paleo.

All the dairy you could have kept. I lost 25lbs while still drinking 7 cups of tea a day for example by moving to a very similar diet to yours. Cheese was one of my snacks in fact.

The problem is that for actually both dairy and nuts it's very easy to overeat them as they are calorie laden.
I have been at a clients location with my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop today.

The "IT guy" there and all the other (non IT) office staff asked me what this is and how they could get it. I had to do a full 15 minutes of explanations about Ubuntu. You cannot imagine the looks after I told them it is free.
When I want snippets, FB and Twitter are great. When I want to see what my friends think are important, and use their filtering, the social nets are great.

But when I want the firehose of a select group of sites organized around a concept, and when I want to see EVERYTHING they have... there is no substitute for a good RSS reader and an organized feed list. And since I found Feeddler (http://www.chebinliu.com/projects/iphone/feeddler-rss-reader...) for my ipad/iphone and dumped the overhyped Reeder and "social magazine" formats like Feedly, I find that I can catch all the things that my social network, love them though I do, miss. And they miss a lot.

I still use reader.google, though I miss Bloglines, for my online reading. That is an area ripe for improvement (aggregating duplicate posts, Techmeme-like threading of topics across multiple blogs, per-feed filters to remove posts that are not on topic without forcing you to drop the entire feed, etc.) but I don't expect to see much coming. BTW, Google Reader has some great keyboard commands if you haven't discovered them yet that make flying through content much easier.

Am I an old fashioned stubborn old coot, hanging on to dead technology? Well sure, just like those of us still using email and sms. Oh, didn't you hear? Both of those were declared dead a few years ago as well. Come on, one and all, join my club of "using uncool tech but still enjoying it".
I am on a diet which has cut out all carbs
entirely, and increased the amount of fat I eat
drastically

Be careful about it, because your body needs those fruits and vegetables. Like, I know it is trendy to hate the potato, but it still has an unique nutritional value that can hardly be replaced.

Unfortunately you can't precisely measure the effect carbs can have on your body. Things like the quantity of carbs, or the glycemic index, or the insulinemic index ... are clues, but not proofs of what you should eat. To make matters worse, we don't actually know what nutrients our body needs, we just know that this shit is really complex.

What you have to really watch out for are the refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour, white rice) and keep in mind that not all carbs are created equally ;-)

Personally I think the best diets are those dissociated. You may lose weight slower than on more drastic diets, but that's also good for preventing loose skin and other health related issues.

You need cheap 3d printers to lower the barrier of entry. Once this is achieved, more people are trying their hands at 3d printing. More creative/engineering minds with access to 3d printers = faster development of a more reliable 3d printer. Same thing happened to computers.

Yeah, it seems the primary focus on 3d printing is lowering the cost. But trust me - there are plenty of people working on other innovations, such as multi material and rubber printing (both are available on high end models).

Apparently using ppa-purge is only necessary for certain critical PPAs like x-updates. Still, I think the process is fragile even if it's mostly automatic: who's to say the version you end up with after the upgrade is compatible with the one from a PPA you had been using before the upgrade.
It's actually called IP masquerading

No, it's not. This is a Linux-specific term that is used nowhere else.
Despite what many assumed from my original question, I was not in the least bit concerned about NAT's replacement as a pseudo access control at the IP layer.

My concern was the lack of control and independence from the global network when it is needed. This saves organisations and individuals a small fortune and provides maximum flexibility and convenience in internal networking.

However, I have been doing further research and while NAT discovery and traversal is an uncertain area, and (of course) firewalls are the design intention for IPv6 access control, the core ability to have access to private unicast addresses within IPv6 is covered by RFC 4193 (Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses).

So, 6-within-4 protocols need only be around as long as 4 is the majority globally routable IP protocol, which may be for a LOT longer than people think, instead of being around because 6 lacks support for existing functions.

By the way, I never understand why they don't make roofs on houses out of plastic. It seems like they'd never degrade or leak, and it would be faster to install.

It was posts like this that made me decide to learn Python instead of Ruby, many years back when I was trying to decide what new scripting language to learn.

I could not find any particular programming advantage of Python over Ruby or vice versa. But from the blog posts it was obvious which community I liked much better:

Python's were to the point and technical, if making comparisons with Ruby they'd say they're both powerful languages and pick the one you like best.

Ruby's blog posts were so much more about imago, "personality" and pointing out whatever (even irrelevant) attributes to prove that their thing was better than the other. Not so much Python vs Ruby btw, but also Ruby library X vs Y, or Ruby blogger P vs Q--it felt like everything in the Ruby community was some sort of popularity contest.

On another note, I do agree that Django's website is a mess. And so are its docs, you're much better off using a great IDE like PyScripter and sail through the source code (not saying that's a good thing, on the contrary, just a bit of advice to anyone using Django ;-) ). But Django is hardly the only web framework out there.

There's also a bunch of really nice and clean Python sites out there. I really like the looks of Armin Ronacher's stuff, for instance Jinja2.

> NAT is a hack for getting more machines online without having more IPs available. Obviously, IPv6 makes that obsolete.

The problem is that the addresses might not be where you need them. Let's say you bring an OpenVPN-running Linksys router to a hotel room and plug your devices into them so they can be on their own firewalled subnet with VPN access (this is the ultimate road-warrior setup). Unless the hotel routes a subnet to you (and they won't be), you can't do this. The hotel's subnet might have plenty of public IPv6 addresses available, but you won't have any to make your own subnet. What should you do instead? Bridge the networks and use layer 2 firewalling? The VPN routing would be a nightmare. This question has been plaguing me.

To be clear, I do not think NAT should be used in most cases. But for rare or temporary cases it would be very useful to have available if you know what you're doing.
For everyone hyper-focused on him being overweight- that sometimes isn't the only problem (or the problem at all).

I'm relatively thin/average build, and was having troubles sleeping, breathing and I was snoring a ton. I complained to my GP about this, and he prescribed some nasal spray which didn't help at all. Went to an ENT and of course had to have a sleep study.

The entire time I was telling them, I think my tonsils are fucking huge and I have sleep apnea due to it. Only after seeing two doctors and having an $800 sleep study did they agree and I was able to get my tonsils removed. Afterward they wanted to do another sleep study to find if it fixed it; I said no thanks.

Sometimes- just sometimes the patient actually knows what they need. Now I have a new GP, who is much more helpful in providing what I actually need without random expensive tests.

I have to strongly disagree on the documentation.

And, easily Googlable; the search "python docs x" on Google usually has the Python documentation for x as the top hit.
It's been said many times before, but getting exercise while doing a startup is a must. It's like saying you should use LESS/SASS instead of coding CSS. You just won't believe how much better it is until you actually try it for a while.

For the last three months I've forced myself to go for a jog every morning, no excuses, even if it means I'll get started on stuff a little later, so be it. It's an amazing complement to the uncertainty and mental challenges of a startup.
Well, we'll probably find out a way to synthesize plastic out of other materials rich in hydrocarbons, like algae. It's going to be pretty expensive at first, but I can see biofuels occupying their own niche even in an economy that is dominated by hydrogen or some other "clean" resource.

Is there any reason why you choose to boot from a disk? Normally you can upgrade from within your own installation without problems.
The thing is, of the oil taken out of the earth, what percent has been used for plastic? I'm not sure but a very small portion.

Now even if we're at peak oil now which is certainly not necessarily true, the Hubbert Curve (where the definition of peak oil comes from) shows that peak occurs when 50% of the oil has been extracted.

Thus we can assume we have at least half the oil available to humanity not yet extracted (let alone all the non-traditional oil techniques like tar sands which boost reserves by an order of magnitude).

My point is that while the price of oil will go up as supply can't keep up with demand, we are nowhere near being in the position where oil is not available for materials. We're also nowhere near being in a position where oil's not economic for materials, because as plastic, oil is arguably very valuable.

Sure we may reach a point where oil's primary value is as plastic, once we solve the other-energy-source challenge. But we don't need to worry about running out of feedstock for plastics, and we certainly won't need to excavate old landfills for the stuff. At least not soon.
Don't knock it until you try it. I've found this to be the most effective technique for keeping myself on track.

It has far more to do with creating a habit than anything specific about this 'chain'. The book "Switch" covers this really well, you basically have a limited amount of self-control to use each day. Habits do not tap the self-control bank.

So in my case, I really want to make working on my sideproject a priority. For a while I tried to work on it as much as possible, but I failed to really motivate myself often.

Now I have a chain going. Everyday I wake up before work and do something. Whether its 5 minutes or 3 hours, everyday I boot up my computer and make a little bit of progress. The alarm goes off and a couple minutes later I have my dev tools open and a bowl of cereal in front of me and I'm working, no thought required.

I notice my progress has improved dramatically because of this.

> Is there a real case for functional programming languages becoming popular in the future?

Most definitely. Almost every language is incorporating functional idioms and we see more and more code written in a more functional fashion.

> What's the best choice for the functional language one should invest time in learning?

If you're a newbie, I would recommend JavaScript. It's the easiest to pick up and has the best resources out there. You can learn all of the functional idioms in JavaScript and then later learn to apply them elsewhere.

If you're a more seasoned programmer, I would say give them all a test spin and figure out which one you like. I, personally, think Erlang has the most sane syntax, with Scala a close second. Erlang is a bit more powerful, but with Scala you get access to the JVM. I've learned them both, but am able to apply Scala more because the libraries are much more vast.

Yes. I am generally supportive of Unity but this is one thing I just can't understand. I get the rationale for avoiding a bottom dock on a widescreen monitor, but the left-hand side doesn't even make sense (browser back button is on the left, window close button is on the left - any time I try to use either of them I accidentally trigger the launcher). The best solution I found was to use ccsm and change the hotkey to anything other than "left screen edge" or something similar.

The launcher then auto-hides permanently, but you can still cause it to appear with the windows key. Disappointing, really - there's no clever artistic or design reason to disallow a right-hand dock. It just seems like a case of hubris and ignorance.
How does this compare with http://app.net/?
Yup, this thread is interesting. An Ubuntu release, and I haven't read many complaints about Unity thus far down the page.

They lost me to Mint in their last couple of releases.
Any secondary sources you would recommend?
Yes, poor Unity developpers. They wanted to make this configurable, but Gnome prevented them from doing it.

Growing Up Geek: Spot Your Fave Geeks
Your two last sentences contradict one another. I think you are mixing up style/looks with content.
Very impressive self-commitment.
Cardio workouts can burn a lot of calories. Today I rode my bike for an hour and a half and burnt about 1200 Calories. That said, I'm a bit fitter than the average unfit person, and can therefore sustain a considerably higher power output and use more energy. Oh, and there's a big difference between pushing yourself on hilly roads and sitting on a bike in the gym reading a magazine.

Weights are good too, and they're much better at making one look fit (upper body especially).

Oh, and good on you Ryan. I've seen some around here talk about how it's worth sacrificing one's health for a startup. It's good to see not everybody shares that belief.
My thoughts exactly. It would probably be enough to just send a 3D model with only a few thousand polygon over the network and render that at the target location instead of a full atom-by-atom representation of me ;-)

Holygraphic displays are just a method to render 3D content and that is very easy to transfer (see games today).
I wish they would use XPath (or at least a subset) for their selectors. They could probably easily use an existing implementation, and they would get filters for free in the form of predicates. This would avoid creating yet another XML selector language.
I completely agree. Exercising every day has made such a difference to me that I even made an app[1] to help me maintain the habit.

Daily exercise makes me feel less tired and helps me think more clearly. For me changing my diet has been more difficult. I am going to start by changing breakfast (the meal I always eat alone), and then working from there.

Awesome list. I also do the following which seems to work well.

- Use Inject.JS from Linkedin. It allows you to cache the JS files in HTML5 local storage which is a huge deal for mobile clients in particular.

- Performance test your CDN. If you are only targeting users in a non US country then a CDN can be significantly slower.

- Make sure to split your domains e.g. images.x.com, css.x.com, js.x.com as it will allow your browser to download more concurrently.

- Look at OpenResty or nginx/lua combined with Redis as used wisely can do gamechanging things to your performance.

- Use Google Analytics Javascript timing to get a longer term picture of where you need to optimise.

- Be careful how you bundle. Many people may already have popular libraries like Google's JQuery version cached already. So consider splitting those out.
the woman didn't decide her fate. It was accidental. He accomplished something with resilience. Why do we have to compare everything in terms of heroism? Who cares about heros. The lady wasn't a heroine neither is he.
Considering plastic doesn't have the CO2 emissions that oil-for-fuel does, there's no reason to use non-oil-based plastic any time soon. We can move off oil for fuel and keep using it for plastic!
I thought the same. It makes more sense to me to split up back and chest to different days and do shoulders on the chest day. I believe the 3 largest muscle groups are legs, back and chest and I split my workouts into a day for each of those.
Do you know why the launcher still can't be moved to the other side of the screen? Does it have to do with the idea that Ubuntu will also run on mobile devices?
