I feel like any "diet" that is named is instantly called a fad, and that really bothers me. Paleo is more or less eating whole, unprocessed foods, with an emphasis on low sugar intake. What's so faddish about that?
He himself doesn't even agree with his response. In the Reddit open thread on the topic he said he reacted rashly because the idea that somebody would be smart enough to come up with it and then stupid enough to post it publicly (his words, paraphrased) did not occur to him in advance. I think currently he's primarily deleting posts for it because once you've started that trend, there's not really that much to make up by stopping.
This isn't necessarily something you can fix. And recognize that it may not be something that wants fixing. Your father's reasons for leaving the tile business may be analogous to your reasons for leaving a corporate job - it frees him up to do something else.

You'll probably have lots of jobs in your life. But you only get one father and a limited amount of time to spend one way or the other. What is the right choice for you, is the right choice for you. The right choice for him, is right for him.

Talk with him about it.

Good luck.
Fat composition is affected by the diet of the cow. Grain fed dairy cows yield milk that's lacking in Vitamin K2. K2 is essential for regulating delivery of calcium in the body. Free calcium without K2 contributes to atherosclerosis (and other mis-placed calcium issues) without necessarily contributing to bone and dental health.

Also, most of the vitamins in milk are in the fat, which people usually remove.

I think the best thing you can do is run with a group, especially if you can find one training for the same marathon.

It'll keep you a lot more motivated than running by yourself, and it's a lot more fun. Plus if you're a techie, it's a good way to get outside and meet people.

FWIW, the 2013 Chicago Marathon and the 2013 NYC marathon are pretty close together for a first-time marathoner. I would suggest just doing one or the other.

If you get really into marathons, there's a very interesting subculture of people who do them all the time - for instance, the Marathon Maniacs - http://www.marathonmaniacs.com/

As someone who has lost a lot of weight on a diet that is actually healthy as opposed to a hack, I protest your protest. I eat mostly the things at the top of the chart (though not the soda/milk/meat) and lost about 4 lbs a week until I leveled out at a normal weight without compromising my nutrition. [1]

Some good resources: http://www.drfuhrman.com/shop/ETLBook.aspx

[1] That said, we both agree that that kind of sugar won't fill you up. I only disagree that eating large quantities of meat or fat is in any way healthy.
Is there anything around that lets me "ban" domains that I've chosen? I know I personally won't get anything positive out of a link from dcurt.is or 42floors, and I don't like rediscussing links from another discussion site (i.e. stack overflow), so it would be nice to be able to construct my own set of filters.
I've struggled with sleep issues since I was a small child; even after doing all the reasonable exercise/caffeine/no-bright-lights things people recommended, my brain sometimes just wouldn't shut down. After some introspection, I came to realize that my body seemed be on a 25 hour day, and it just wanted to stay awake an hour later each time.

Then I read gwern's article on melatonin[1], and it changed everything. I don't get the shorter sleep he describes, but I take it once or twice a week to give me what feels like complete control over my sleep cycle. In addition the alertness/grumpiness benefits, it is truly great just being able to go to sleep and wake up at the same time as my wife (who seems to be on a 23-hour day).

It's more that without the wide mouth at the top, the narrow pipe at the bottom would miss a lot of fluid. But yes, it's really more a sieve.
The main thing that's useful about low-carb diets is that foods high in protein and fat are filling. You don't need ketosis (which is probably a harmful medical condition) to lose weight, but if you get most of your calories from carbohydrates, you'll tend to have trouble feeling satisfied without going overboard on calories.

So you're partially right about satiety levels, but in my experience eating something high in carbs won't make you more hungry; it just won't do much to make you less hungry.

When I'm doing caloric restriction, I try to eat just enough carbs to stave off ketosis, and it works pretty well.

One of Vim’s strengths is that it starts lightning fast, so starting Vim from the terminal is trivial. With a modern, 256-color terminal like iTerm2 or Gnome Terminal, it will even look like gVim. But the best part is that you can drop into the command line at any time with Ctrl-Z, which suspends Vim, and your working directory is where you left off.

Is there any reason to do this instead of !sh within Vim to drop into a shell?
Thanks for the Strava tip - looks nice. How's the GPS accuracy? RunKeeper's been giving me problems lately.
Absolutely. I'm sure I pilfered the idea from somewhere else and tweaked it a bit. Glad it may be of use to you.

I was trying to stay away from the typical "Some Experience" to "Expert" scale typically used for skill proficiencies, and instead provide a sense of the scale at which I had used each skill directly.
Is there a nice sublime plugin for this perhaps? A very excellent idea.
It actually is quite easy if you set a finite limit on connections and show an appropriate message to those connections you're actively refusing. If you're allowing as many connections as your server/network/database can allow, it might take a bit longer to determine a failure status.
I got my dad an ultracapacitor flashlight (http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/11/10/ultracapacitor-flashlight-...) a few years back and he loved it till it got stolen. Really quick recharge time, decent "battery" life.

Interestingly this flashlight was discontinued, and I don't see any new ones on 5.11 tactical's website. I wonder why?

I'm really interested in any increases in these types of technology, love to see what comes of this.
This was my confusion.
Here's the explanation from an expert - http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/how-we-get-fat.htm...

"Carbohydrates are rarely converted to fat (a process called de novo lipogenesis) under normal dietary conditions. There are exceptions when this occurs. One is with massive chronic overfeeding of carbs. I’m talking 700-900 grams of carbs per day for multiple days. Under those conditions, carbs max out glycogen stores, are in excess of total daily energy requirements and you see the conversion of carbohydrate to fat for storage. But this is not a normal dietary situation for most people."

iTerm2 has few other fancy features, like horizontal and vertical splitting or Guake-like top-down terminal [0].

Absolutely, but I wasn't talking about TDEE.
I did not know that. Interesting. However, it only works if you call the sub without parentheses like this: &foo

Calling it with parentheses like &foo() would make @_ empty inside of foo. (Or if you said &foo("whatever") it would pass that as @_ instead.)

sub while
{
print "@_\n";
&foo();
}

sub foo
{
print "@_\n";
}

&while("a","b","c");

produces:

a b c
(blank line)

as the output, and

sub while
{
print "@_\n";
&foo;
}

sub foo
{
print "@_\n";
}

&while("a","b","c");

produces:

a b c
a b c

as the output. At any rate, back to the original topic: it still doesn't prevent new keywords from potentially colliding. Oh well.
I'd say yes. If it's interesting, it's interesting. If it's not, it will float off into the "new queue" ether unread.

Ask HN: How would you focus this app into something useful?
Distraction-free text editors seem to be all the rage right now. It feels like they're the new todo app. A couple of years ago I made one for myself to suit my own needs then rewrote the entire thing and opened it up to the public. As time goes on I see that it's evolving into more of a "platform" for writing than yet another pretty text editor.

So my question is, how would all you smart people in the HN community pivot and focus this project into something useful people want to use that differentiates itself from the plethora of other similar projects?

The URL is https://writeapp.me (please excuse the really bad homepage, the app itself is actually nice). The original goal was to have a pretty writing environment to store writing and publish it publicly if you want to. It has now evolved into a "platform" where you can:

- Edit online or from any smartphone via the mobile web app

- Save and publish directly from Sublime Text via the plugin I built

- Store and publish via the CLI tool I'm building

- Save and publish via SMS

- Save and publish via email

- Make any writing publicly available at https://writeapp.me/your-username

I feel like this can become a pretty useful tool if I could focus it. I'm not trying to start a startup with it at all, I just want to build a tool that makes writing something you can do from anywhere, using any tool, and is pretty to look at.
Kitchen Hacking: Perfect Steak, Sous-Vide Style
I actually think the tablet market is a lot more open for the taking than the smartphone market, contrary to what many tech writers thought a while ago that it's just going to be an "iPad market" just like the iPod market.

The smartphone market is almost 1 billion units per year now (or will be this year), with the potential for 3-4 billion units. The tablet market is only around a 100 million market right now, with the potential for at least 2 billion units per year.

The biggest chunk of these markets will belong to free and open source operating systems like Android and Ubuntu, so Ubuntu definite has a chance here. But most of the those markets will be lower-end devices, obviously, and Android can already work on very low-end hardware. Plus it has a much bigger momentum. If Ubuntu wants to have a significant market share of that, it needs become as "lean" as possible on low-end hardware, and make sure it makes people excited about it, so it gets a lot of buzz/marketing for free.

"Without establishing a solid connection to China, there will always be room for observers to dismiss APT actions as uncoordinated, solely criminal in nature, or peripheral to larger national security and global economic concerns. We hope that this report will lead to increased understanding and coordinated action in countering APT network breaches."

This really is the key point. People generally believed that the major hacks have been Chinese government based, but without publicized proof public policy is unlikely to change. China (and people who don't want to insult China) can get away with dismissing the mountain of circumstantial evidence because few people with power want to directly accuse it. Maybe this report will start to change the situation.

The Korean DMZ is the most heavily militarized border in the world, I'm sure they've taken into account such possibilities. Not to mention the difficulty for North Korea to fit a nuclear warhead with any sort of meaningful yield on a small aircraft.
A couple of states seemed to have outsourced this (Ohio, most notably) to another site - missingmoney.com. When searching for first and last names it returned likely matches as well, so perhaps they've implemented some fuzzy string matching along the way that will help citizens find what's owed.

> Net calories are king, regardless of diet macro composition.

God, I hate hearing this.

Let me guess, you say "weight" as in "gain weight" and "lose weight"?

The problems is that nearly everyone...EVERYONE actually means "lose fat, maintain muscle" or "gain muscle, lose/maintain fat".

No one WANTS to gain fat. And when losing weight, no one wants to lose muscle. So talking about "weight" is stupid. And when you only talk about net calories, the only thing you can talk about is weight.

Macros matter when talking about "losing fat, maintaining muscle", "gaining lean muscle" or "recomposition". And the simple fact is that the ratio of macros greatly effects what you are going to do, regardless of total calories.

If you don't get that, you need to spend more time researching.
iterm2 supports mouse input, terminal.app does not.
twilio is the entire package. If you use OpenVBX along with twilio you can replace your phone system. And if you still want to hold onto your phone system you can use SIP out with twilio. Pretty soon they'll have SIP in as well.

Overall, twilio is more robust, more reliable, priced better, and more flexible. No one in the market even comes close. I've been doing telecom for over a decade and there's nothing better than twilio for telecommunications.
I just can't go and prevent other people from copying my copy.

What about digital restoration, which often includes reconstruction of missing parts of the document? What if you do significant work to uncover a document hidden within a layer, as is the case with the Archimedes Palimpsest? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes_Palimpsest)

I'm not making the argument that such images ought never to be available freely to the public. All I'm saying is that the terms of release ought to be up to the individual or institution that's doing the work, and that it's the government's job to protect that right.
Right now they're pretty useless, I agree.

That's the future. That's when the tablet becomes extremely useful. Productive-yet-portable in a way a laptop can't be. What I think the Microsoft guys really nailed is that the tablet is ultimately just another tool. The "post-pc" era still has plenty of PC's in it; they just work alongside tablets and phones.
IIRC, !sh starts a new shell- so it depends on your context I suppose.

Firefox is great when it comes to memory management. My Firefox instance is using 550 MB of RAM - and that's totally reasonable. I have some huge pages loaded, and around 20 of them, but Firefox remains very fast.

If you want it to use less memory, open less pages or open pages that use less memory. Other browsers won't help as they'll use around the same amount. Chrome hides it's usage in separate processes and threads, by the way.
I'll chime in with the former posters in favor of ketogenic diets. YMMV, but I personally find it much easier to stay on a ketogenic diet.

Check out the Applebee's menu (fairly typical): http://www.applebees.com/~/media/docs/applebees_nutritional_...

A 12 oz NY Strip + seasonal veggies will run you about 520-540 calories. That's under half as many calories as any of the fajitas, pasta dishes, and most of the salads. It's also half as many calories as any of the sandwiches.

It's bread and pasta that isn't worth it (unless you're poor and need lots of calories per dollar). The food pyramid makes people think bread is good for you, so people dramatically underestimate how many calories they take in from bread. A typical American diet might have two slices of toast at breakfast, two pieces of sandwich bread or a bagel at lunch, and a baked potato for dinner. These are simple accompaniments, not the stars of the meal, yet they add up to a staggering 700 calories daily. You could replace that with two slices of bacon at each meal and still cut your calorie intake substantially.
I never submit my blog posts to HN (because of my bad english), but definitely yes, it's OK.
I was just typing out an email to the author of netrw regarding a problem I was experiencing.

Maybe someone here could help me out.

Environment:

- Lubuntu 12.10 64,

- LXterminal as well as UXTerm,

- GVim/Vim 7.3.547,

- both passive and active ftp,

- a local ftp server and http://secureftp-test.com/ to test it.

When I try to access a remote ftp directory, I can only open the directory that I typed in a path to. As soon as I navigate through the listed directories and hit enter on any, the screen splits into two horizontal panes and the top pane reads "File not found".

I tried this from Windows 7 Gvim/Vim (don't have the version handy but it was 7.3+) and it worked as expected.

From what I gather it just doesn't seem to look for the right directory after I hit enter in the list I think. Maybe it skips an extra forward slash somewhere or something?

I understand we're not really on the netrw/vim mailing list but any response would be appreciated!
The problem is that Seoul lies within artillery range of North Korea, and you can't really defend against that, because it will take time to destroy all the artillery, and in the meantime Seoul is shelled to pieces. South Korea could easily invade North Korea and defeat it, but the civilian casualties would be enormous unless you can figure out a way to protect Seoul.

Complicating the matter is the fact that China is very pleased not having to share a border with South Korea, which they essentially view as an extension of the US. This was the whole point of the Korean war, after all.

Also, Canola oil (aka Rapeseed oil) is possibly the best oil you can use.

If you eat a lot of good fats (good = monounsaturated, e.g. olive oil, avocados, peanuts), then it reduces cravings for bad fats (fried foods, butter, animal fat etc.).

A rule of thumb is that any fat that it is liquid at room temperature is 'good'.
2013 Chicago - Oct 13; 2013 NYC - Nov 3

I did 4 marathons, 200lb guy with 5hr finish times. 3 Marine Corps and 1 Big Sur. I enjoyed each and every race, except my first. but I would take that painful race again anytime.

Tip for back-to-back marathons: Based on my experience, two back-to-back is a killer. I would NEVER enjoy NYC after running chicago, if chicago is going to be your first. Again.. this is my experience and I would never do it. But some people are driven and they are able to do it.

For Training: HalHigdon is best and simple.. The way I do every time is, take 18 wk plan, and stretch it to 36 weeks.. that way, each week is repeated twice.

As you have lot of time (you might think ;), make sure you include Weight Training and Speed Training. Helps a lot.

Take lots of breaks, even when you are a 7min miler. http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51137/Marathon-Novice-1-Tr...

btw.. get off the phone, and enjoy the Race, Scenery and Crowds.
I'm a heavy Ubuntu user and what I want to know is can it run all the existing Ubuntu/Linux apps?

Every time I read an article like this, it's how a power user installs an array of plugins and customizations to really soup up Vim, which to me kind of misses the point. If you want that level whiz-bang, use Coda or Sublime Text 2 or Eclipse or whatever.

I don't recall where I saw this, but someone advised disabling syntax coloring in your editor to remove a crutch (and, secondarily, to visually simplify your environment). I've tried this with Vim and it's surprisingly nice [0]. You have to read the code more closely, and think more carefully about what's on screen, and this has the effect of focussing me more. Simplifying my environment, making it more sparse, but always having the power of Vim available, makes for a really potent, semi-distraction-free environment.

[0] Well, mostly. I leave it on in order to have three colors used: a good contrast color for code, a second contrast color for strings, and a third, very low-contrast color for comments and line numbers so that, if I want to see those things, I can look for/at them, but if I don't, they're easy to ignore. Likewise, visually distinguishing between strings and code continues to be really useful.

Really the best training program is just to get out and run. Push yourself for long distance over a flat terrain. I did my elevation training on an elliptical. Long distance built the stamina, and the elliptical built the strength. I did the Flying Pig marathon last year for my first marathon. The combo of long running with elliptical cross training really did the trick for me. Everyone is different though.
