This is the definition of a foodie. For some people, food is simply fuel. For some, it is something to enjoy in it's own right, perhaps even a passion. And for some, like those who have had dietary or medical issues, it can be a frustrating experience at best.

I believe we should all try to have a healthy relationship with food, and learn enough about it to eat well, but some people will just eat whatever's easy instead of craving fancier feasts.
How about this? http://bl.ocks.org/syntagmatic/raw/5023284/
Actually I think this is the project for another service.

GitHub would put too much at risk in following such a huge change in its core.

Really, this is a good idea, for a competitor.
As an optional implementation that'd be nice, but this syntax I assume is meant to solve two problems:

1. Making the integral values of an enum clear and unchanged by re-ordering the names. If the integral values matter to you (because you serialize enums that way), then I would want them to be explicit.

2. The integer values of these enums aren't exclusive. Two enums can reference the same value.

That said, I agree a short hand for people who don't care seems reasonable, where the integers could be auto-assigned by definition order, or just all set to 0.
Oops, mixed up good and bad there.

>That even if we find a Grand Unified Theory of Everything that fully explains the physical world, we'll never run out of things to discover.

That's odd. In my experience, these detours in these discussions come as a result of how vague this whole terrain is. There is not even a smidgen of agreement on even the basic of agreed things.

Can't mathematicians and theorists not agree on what areas of math are most helpful and what areas least helpful in arriving at a Unified Theory?

This leads up to the other question of consensus among mathematicians.

>The potential for more math. Mathematicians look for theorems and constructs that are "interesting", which basically means that they are neither simple nor random.

Isn't there a faction of math people who strive towards a defined, non-abstract direction as opposed to fostering a laissez-faire approach to mathematics scholarship that naturally creates more math so that their area of expertise gets recognition and not to mention substantial purses of money?

Is math so poorly funded that all mathematicians lead a hand to mouth existence and therefore collectively as some sort of cabal, have to resort to these self-preservation tactics?

Come on. Really?

Everything is numbers underneath, so you could ask the same question about all data types. For example, if pointers are going to be based on numbers underneath, why not let the programmer have access to them? Lots of good reasons, actually, which is why most languages don't provide that access. Many of those reasons apply to enumerations too.
I don't agree it's unquantifiable in this instance -- the diet is intended to meet the standards outlined by the UK Food Standards organization [1]. Whether or not you agree with the standards is a valid point, but a separate issue.

I'm not criticising the article (I love seeing hackers/hacker like mentality applied to diet and cooking, check : http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/) but I hate when I read something as "healthy food".

Of course there are foods that are good for you and others that aren't, but somehow this always leads to the conclusion that in order to eat "healtily" you have to eat only "healthy" foods and avoid like the plague "unhealthy" ones.

Truth is, you can eat things like bacon, biscuits, jam, white breads, without any problems if in moderation and in the context of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, and doing regular exercise (exercise != half an hour loitering in the gym).

The diet illustrated in the article, it's indeed healthy, it's cheap, and it's absolutely depressing.

I can't see too many people being able to stick to it for a reasonable time. Good food is one of life's pleasures and it doesn't have to be in conflict with "healthy" eating.

It would help a lot speaking about "healthy diet" or better "healthy lifestyle" rather than "healthy foods".
Look, I am an Algebraic Geometer and have done Schemes and whatnot. It is REALITY and this has nothing to do with "applied" or "pure". The fact that it is abstact has nothing to do with its being unreal.

> the only people who exhibit this type of behaviour are frauds and delusional pseudoscientists.

But those usually produce work that is very obviously nonsensical, and want attention rather than avoiding it. Mochizuki has earned the privilege of having his work evaluated on its own merits, and so far nobody has found any obvious flaws.

> And the only rational reason to do so is if there is actually something wrong about the work.

Who says the reason has to be rational? Maybe he just has developed a bad case of stage fright?

> And it's not like a bona-fide scientist losing it and becoming an pseudo-scientist obsessed about a topic is completely unheard of.

Can you give some examples?
There aren't change orders per se but usually in one of the clauses in the contract you specify that work outside of the scope (outlined in the contract), once all parties agree, will incur an additional charge or something like that.
Everyone gets depressed from time to time - it would be somewhat worrisome if certain events didn't cause you do to feel down.

What Alli and myself and others suffer from (all differently, mind you) is a long-term effect. In my case, the effects usually run about 6 months or so and then there's a period where everything is fine, then the long, slow slide back down into the hole.

I've come to accept that this is how it's going to be for me. If I take medication, my brain doesn't function and I can't write software (or much of anything else). While I'm down there, at least there is some hope of being able to accomplish things, albeit not as efficiently.
I don't really accept the notion that inconsistencies in a giant mathematical proof will always show themselves. That does happen sometimes, but if you're breaking new ground (as Mochizuki seems to be) its much more likely that things will seem consistent to you, but are actually inconsistent because you made a mistake somewhere.
It does, kind of, didn't try it our extensively but I got things to happen.
I sincerely doubt it, since it would require a massive overhaul of everything from browsers to JS itself most likely.

The trend has been to use less HTML and more CSS to style it. HTML5 is also an attempt to extend the DOM's capabilities and also make it more semantic.
This answer is great: "This is the right answer. In business, when someone asks you do something extra the correct answer is "Yes I can do that. It will cost you $X." Make the other person say no if you really don't want to do something. Charge a ridiculous amount for it. Of course, there is the danger that they will agree which is why you charge something that would still be happy with. I would probably want it up-front as well."
PNC lets you setup alerts via text or email for a wide variety of options: balance over / under a limit, overdraft, check bounce, overdraft autotransfer, ATM withdrawal, check payment, or preauth payment over / under a limit, and a bunch of security-related things like login / profile changes.

Right now I only use the direct deposit alert so I know when I've been paid and the security alerts.
Something I dealt with a lot in oil & gas engineering, and have never personally witnessed in software engineering, is a "change order".

This is commonplace in custom software development in my experience. Having a change control process in place, and negotiating a price-tag for changes to the original contract, happened all the time in my first programming job. We were mainly working for government agencies (municipal and county government), universities, etc., and this was all completely normal.
In this case, the attributes are not ints.. so If you defined that class functions that took it's attributes would need to accept an int, and if I passed max-int or something it'd be up to your function to go figure out whether my argument was a valid value for Color.

The enum class gives you that stuff. The argument you'd expect would be instanceof(arg, Color) == True (I think that's how they did it) and if it was, you'd be assured that the value was a valid value for Color.

So you could do it yourself, sure.. but to get all the little benefits, you'd have to do more coding than naming a bunch of ints in a new class.. It's subtle though. Not a wild game-changer or anything :)
I have a hard time thinking of PHP as "old". :) C is old. FORTRAN is old. And I'd argue that PHP's terrible reputation isn't because it's old, but rather because it's primitive. It has all sorts of nasty coupling between layers, and encourages bad programming habits. On the other hand, something like 75% of the world's websites run on it, so it can't be that hard to find PHP programmers.
Honest question - did you give up counting, or give up finishing the comic at all?

She stopped creating these comics and fell off of the face of the internet for two years. She was eventually able to come back and share her experiences after getting professional treatment and taking prescription medication for some period of time.

Your post is along the same lines as many of the people shown in the piece (substitute philosophy for yoga while watching the sun rise, "I know exactly how you feel, but you should just <x>", etc.) It's also incredibly condescending to trivialize two years of debilitating clinical depression as a little bit of Sartre-deficiency because she was eventually able to come back after getting on psychoactive medication. I'm also not sure if you'e aware that feelings of meaninglessness and purposelessness are common in clinical depression.

Your other posts are even worse, as if depression is a gift (seriously?) to creative people so they can angst up a bit and play the tragic, misunderstood, tortured artist. Or even more callously, because it's entertaining for other people (my father was clinically depressed - it's not.)

Clearly you don't "empathize completely" and your suggestion that you've gone through "such crises" yourself is presumptuous and insulting, as if gripping with nihilism now and again makes you qualified to diagnose (and undiagnose!) mental disorders in other people - of course, if you have had to undergo prolonged therapy or take SSRI's daily, please do correct me. I'm assuming that you mean well, but your attitude is cavalier and you don't seem to have thought too much about anything you've said here.
For OS X users, you can take a screenshot from the command line with /usr/sbin/screencapture, so putting together a little script to make a screenshot timelapse is pretty trivial. With that and ffmpeg you can replicate most of the functionality of my program in just a few lines of bash. :-)
No problems. Lots of other great content on her blog too, but this is the first update in a couple of years I think.

I figure knowing more about depression (or sharing someone else's experience of it) might be interesting and/or useful to other hners.
I absolutely agree with your last paragraph: seek help.

However, I find "just because someone says they are depressed doesn't make them so. And that belittles people who really are depressed" a dangerous attitude with regards to that.

When I was younger I was quite seriously depressed but I didn't seek help for ages because I'd heard people say "oh, depression isn't just feeling sad, you shouldn't use the word depression lightly". I thought maybe I was just being stupid and lazy because I probably wasn't a special enough flower to have this mystical thing. I should really have looked for help a lot sooner.

So, if you're having problems, don't worry about what they are or aren't called or what other people say - look for any help you can find.

This can actually be formulated as an interesting (constrainted) optimization problem.

* an amount of calories

* a distribution of macronutritions (protein,fat,simple carbs, complex carbs)

do minimize:

Interesting problem.

Blog author here (all of my friends tell me immediately when I get on HN). I appreciate the criticism.

I'm aware of the huge gaps, and I've had low-priority goals to fill them in. The reason is because my blog is not intended to be a replacement for a standard education, but rather a place for me to explore and write about the stuff that I personally find cool. Usually this means I find an interesting application first, and figure out what background information I should present (admittedly tersely) to support it.

Algorithmic techniques are fine and dandy (I do talk about dynamic programming a few times when it invariably comes up in my applications posts), but more often than not I'm simply bored by the standard algorithms lessons and I believe there's a bigger lack of mathematics background in my audience than algorithmic background. Everyone likely knows (at least vaguely) what a hash table is and what it's for, but asking about a group is more likely to receive blank stares, despite the awesome applications to cryptography.

Though I may be wrong about my audience. I have no way of measuring that except to see what sorts of news sites it shows up on; so far no professional mathematicians have seemed to care except to say the equivalent of "that's a cute hobby."

That being said, I do intend to focus more on graph theory in the future. My own research is taking me more into random graphs, randomized algorithm analysis, and related topics. I also want to start a data structure series, where I go through all of the standard examples: red black trees, prefix trees, fibonacci heaps, etc. I would absolutely love to see more applications of these ideas, and I already have quite a few in mind for graph algorithms.

> Food is fuel; it doesn't have to be a source of entertainment.

It doesn't have to be, but for many it is. I greatly enjoy making and tasting food. The true value of something is a combination of its physical and emotional cost to the purchaser. I think that gets lost in many budgeting articles.

Of course, if you're truly on a tight budget like this article proposes, luxury and entertainment aren't even parts of your budget. But if not, you're going to be miserable unless you can do things you enjoy, and often times those things take a bit of financial support (obviously not everything, again).

Beyond that, RM has "real" named arguments based on the objective-C core.
A lot of Agile methodologies are a response to this extremely strict change control.

The problem, from what I've seen, is that developers understand agile development, but the "money people" don't. To them, "agile" is just a buzzword that means "good" and they aren't actually interested in participating in the process. So now you get people who don't understand, or aren't interested in, attending demo sessions, prioritizing the backlog, or reading/writing user stories. And when things don't proceed along a nice, smooth, water-fall like sequence, they get stressed and start complaining.

One place I'd say the Agile movement has fallen on it's sword, is in terms of promotion, education and buy-in from the "business community" to the point that they understand that Agile processes require their active participation.

From a book called Rework [1]:

"When you want something bad enough, you make the time - regardless of your other obligations. The truth is most people just don't want it bad enough. Then they protect their ego with the excuse of time."

In Poland such pans generally cost less then 10 USD (and they are made in China, probably in the same factory). So yep, it seems the prices of a pan are mostly determined by customers purchasing power.

Transport costs per unit are probably also higher for pans (cause they're bigger and heavier than arduino).

Even got a friend to sign up for a beta invite! :P
My best friend was non-suicidally depressed for 2 years, and I just did not believe him. I thought he was just having trouble getting over an ex for some reason, because him being depressed didn't make sense.

The thing that finally convinced me, and ONLY in retrospect, was hearing the full story about him and our best girlfriend during that time. This girl is, pardon my objectification, an 11/10 in every way. Everyone we know is in love with her, and with good reason. It turns out, for a large portion of the time my friend was depressed, she tried really, really hard to date and/or have sex with him, and he repeatedly turned her down every time. He'd been attracted to, and probably in love with, her since I can remember and still is, making hearing that this went on for YEARS shocking to me. But both sides confirm: it happened.

It turns out, her wanting him made him feel like she was playing a joke. "How could she possibly want to have sex with me, or like me in any way? Here's the answer: she doesn't. She's playing a joke on me, and I don't fucking care for it" he says was his inner-monologue at the time.

We still look back and just marvel about that time, because it was so bizarrely different the reality we've lived in all the other days of our lives.

Thank for those codes, Andrew. I have grabbed LYAEFN4PPWHW. I will use it to self-monitor my procrastination.

My first feedback to you is that the first contact is great thanks to the app's minimalism. It's really unobtrusive.

A second piece of feedback is that the menu bar icon looks poor on a retina display. I believe that one can use vector graphics (in PDF) or double the resolution (I always feel weird saying that, and want to say _quadruple_, but you know what I mean) to get a crisp rendering. I can screenshot what it looks like on my screen, if you have no opportunity to see it.

The post did come about a bit long... I considered splitting into pieces, but I also wanted the first part to have some pretty specific results in it.

Re: specifics on what it's learning: The short answer is no one knows. It's actually an active area of research, and while there are some methods for vision problems to visualize the sensitivity of feature detectors (they end up looking like faces, for example), it's harder to make sense of other types of data.

In general, an RNN is learning 2 things: 1) a function to transform the data at a static level (so, in this case, one day of trading) and 2) a function to transform that learned representation/state across time in a way that reflects the dynamics found in the data.

One of the reasons I built ersatz is because I wanted more rapid experiment results. Now that I've got that, I'm just beginning to scratch the surface on what's possible. Now that the machinery is in place, we're building out better tools for analyzing the data and what the predictions have to do with it. I share your general concerns re: all of that--which is why I've decided to stick to startups instead of day trading myself. Think of this post as more of a toy example/demonstration, albeit a promising one.

Re: a forum--yeah, that's a good idea, we will do that.
