>While I don't eat a lot (I definitely eat more than I should, but I don't think that I eat to excess by any means), what I do eat is terrible

I would argue that you do excessively eat. Contrary to popular ignorance, the reason people get fat is simply due to a caloric excess. The idea is that if your maintenance intake is 2500kcal/day, and you eat exactly that much, you will not gain (store) or lose (use) any fat (energy). So even if you eat three meals a day consisting solely of chow mein and orange chicken from delivery, and all meals add up to be 2500kcal, you will not fluctuate in body fat percentage. Of course, you will otherwise have terrible health due to the high consumption of saturated fats and sodium, but that's another story.

In this vein, I think everyone should tally caloric intake for a week and compare it to their daily caloric needs which can be calculated using all sorts of tools (e.g. http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequire.html).

Hopefully this discussion is not completely irrelevant, but I thought it was all worth noting. I'm certainly not trying to pick on you either, just thought this was a good outlet.

In '69 all those huge monitors, telemetry displays, and cool panels were high tech. They built a room that screams "I am the future!". Today, all that stuff is commodity hardware that could just as easily be put to the task of playing some computer game or buying shoes as launching a spacecraft. And it inhabits a perfectly normal looking, functional room.

Discussion from 7 months ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3136914
Eat five times a day and never fast is very old school. When I was trying to gain weight I would eat 6 times a day. Watched low fat and low sugar.

But it seems things changed Intermittent fasting is actual working and even a 24 hour fast can be beneficial.

Also Calories in and out are a very easy way to lose weight if you calculate correctly. Lot of people overestimate what they burn.

I practice intermittent fasting and now I can maintain low BF % all the time. while using the 5 to 6 meals a day was great for getting more muscle on with a bit of fat gain. But eating 5 to 6 meals a day on low calorie consumption sucks and is not maintainable in the long run.

Some good material with studies to back it up:

That's a simplification that might lead you to a mistaken conclusion.

Some creative sorts thrive on strife, it's true; and these sorts look for people who operate the same way so they can thrust themselves at one another, grow heated, and still get work done. That is not the only way things get done, it is not an inescapable approach (many people use that as an excuse to avoid acting like grown-ups), and, most importantly, there is a time and a place for that and it's not at the center of an open community.

Look, the idea of open source is this glorious idea that when people work together they can achieve things which no one person would have thought of on their own. My favorite open source works are the result of somebody having a crazy idea, getting support from various open source projects, and making something they'd have never made on their own. Having the sorts of misanthropic terrors that this guy's writing about in positions where they can alienate other participants undermines one of the clearest values of open source work.

What's more, the Internet SUCKS at strife. Arguing is one thing where you can see and hear and intuit the person you're arguing with. You stay in lockstep with them, even if you're fighting them bitterly. Arguments on the Internet are much more commonly the result of people simply not understanding tone, or even who the shit's on the other side. They are rarely productive in the way you mean. When you've got an issue OF community bullying, they are practically never productive. If one person feels the need to start fight with masses of people, even if it's because they don't "understand" him, that person is pretty much in the wrong, and ruining things for those other people.

To be honest it makes me sad that programmers and computer geeks, who are both smart enough and used enough to being ostracized and belittled, so often decide that the problem with their former persecution was simply that they weren't the ones getting to do the persecuting. And the strain of celebrity-worship that leads to other coders excusing the worst behavior simply because it comes from a well-known name is equally disappointing. We're not as different from mainstream culture as it's fun to pretend.
PBTE DAE Date Sheet 2012

Many people suggest we're in a bubble, and usually call it a social media bubble. I still find myself wondering if we aren't in an advertising bubble instead, with social media a rider and not a driver per se of the trend. Advertising is and always shall be a very important part of the economy, but there's also this sharp bound on exactly how much money it can move around since it needs to result in net profit for the advertiser. Google definitely has demonstrated they have a superior platform. I'm not sure anybody else has. Not just Facebook, anybody else.

If there's any element of this bubble that reminds me of the previous it is that there are still an awful lot of startups out there who are trying to simply acquire as many users as possible with vague plans to figure out how to make money later... and they all seem to come up with the same, "Uh... shove ads at them, I guess?" plan in the end.

Wait a minute. The apps you've downloaded from the Android Market / Play Store are associated with a Google account. If you log off of that Google account you should lose everything associated with that account - including apps you've downloaded. Logging off wouldn't be complete otherwise.

Plus you have to lose all of data stored in any non-downloaded Google apps, for the same reason. There are a few things left (e.g. alarms and the non-Gmail email app), but I think it is entirely reasonable that Google didn't spend a lot of effort on that corner-case - especially since the main privacy risk is an incomplete log off that leaves behind something it shouldn't.

Yes, you can increase the pressure. But then your flying tube in a low pressure environment may explode

Or it'll suffer a bigger expansion/contraction with every cycle and hence less cycles or metal fatigue and failure at 37000feet (passenger won't ask for a refund as they will be unable to do)

While it's very nice to your users to replace CAPTCHAs with something more fun, it isn't necessarily more effective against attacks or spamming. Classic CAPTCHAs can be broken by simply using cheap manual labor (working slaves in low-paid countries, or willing surfers who gain access to porn sites by solving some CAPTCHAs). Also, those games might be ineffective if there are too few combinations. In one of the examples, the user has to put 2 of 5 items into a box. There are only 2^5 = 32 possible combinations. When trying to break this game by robot/software, using a random guess, you succeed every 32th time. That's still enough for spamming!

Transcript from Coders at Work interview with Joshua Block:

Seibel: As a Java guy at Google, do you think it could be used more? Leaving aside the force of history and historical choices, if somehow you could wave a magic wand and replace all of C++ with Java, could that work?

Bloch: Up to a point. Large parts of the system could be written that way, and over time, things are moving in that direction. But for the absolute core of the system - the inner loops of the index servers, for instance - very small gains in performance are worth an awful lot. When you have that many machines running the same piece of code, if you can make it even a few percent faster, then you've done something that has real benefits, financially and enviromentally. So there is some code that you want to write in assembly language, and what is C but glorified assembly language?
