Conversely, if you're done with losing fat and wish to add some muscle I would recommend the High Intensity Training technique, described in e.g. the book High-Intensity Training the Mike Mentzer Way. The basic idea is to train once or twice a week for around 30 minutes, send as big a signal as possible to your body that your muscles are inadequate, and then recover until the next session.
Perhaps it's illegal to imprison people who have committed no crime, on the guess that because they were interacting with people who had a disease, they might have it too.

Also, in this case and many like it, imprisoning this man would have been much more expensive than simply testing him for the disease.

There you go; one reason it's a bad idea to imprison someone you think might be carrying ebola is that you can just test their blood and know for sure if they are. Seems a lot cheaper and better all round than imprisoning people.
If the Facebook code had stayed untestable and undocumented, it would never have worked at their current scale.

Testing and documentation make a difference in the long term. Unless your business model is "build a shiny tower and sell it before it crumbles", at some point, you'll have to fix the mess you made in the early days of the application.

- Water. This is either in your digestive system, your bladder or "your body" (blood plasma and also water in tissues and glycogen in muscles - http://8fit.com/blog/glycogen-gluconeogenesis-and-water-weig... )

- Food. You eat food, not calories. Yes, some parts are not digestible, and some are staying in your digestive system right now
If you are explicit: "return" in a Pry session will exit pry and return the value you pass to it, just as if you are in the method itself. So e.g. "return 42" would return 42 from do_something.

> On the weekends, I work while she naps or is having one on one time with her mom.

Do you share household chores with your wife, or does she do mostly all of that work? Kooking, cleaning, changing diapers, feeding the children, cleaning the kitchen table 5 times a day (children are really messy eating snacks), doing the dishes, bathing them, getting up at night when the kids are sick, ... . That's the reality of having kids when you are taking care of them.

There is a HUGE difference between "spending time with your kids" and "taking care of your kids".

Believe me, I have 3 small children and both my wife and I have fulltime jobs, where my wife is abroad 20% of her time. Taking care of kids can drain a lot, I mean a lot of energy.

Don't take this as a personal attack. If you and your wife feel happy in this situation, I'm happy for you. But these kind of articles make it seem as though having kids just means "spending time with them", because it isn't. Someone needs to take care of them 24/7. So to make it more realistic, just mention how much of that 24/7 it's your duty.

There are some significant problems drawing conclusions from that study about what you should eat.

* The study was done on rats

* n=9/group

* They used fructose/glucose from a laboratory supplier, not HFCS from a supplier used by food manufacturers

* They fed the rats 100% starch/fructose+glucose/honey and vitamins (real people have varied diets)

The conclusions you should draw are that A) eating a diet of 100% HCFS is probably a bad thing (duh) and B) honey has antioxidants.

So if you replace your HFCS with honey, you don't need to get as many antioxidants from other sources.

Were they to control for antioxidant content, this study might be a bit more interesting.

Why every web designer should learn to sketch
In terms of ownership of data, Fastmail is definitely not ideal. However, I trust a company that has a single paid product and employees committed to the point of buying the company back from their acquirer (http://blog.fastmail.com/2013/09/25/exciting-news-fastmail-s...) more than a company with a free product committed to monetizing me and my data.

I recently switched from a setup similar to yours (Postfix+Dovecot+sup) to Fastmail because I'll never have to worry about deliverability again and Fastmail's web client is miles beyond anything else other there, especially the open source offerings (Mailpile looks promising though! I'm hoping this won't stay the case).

Hey, thanks. Yeah, being able to recognise non-native speakers (based on accents and non-idiomatic sentences) is apparently a significant evolutionary advantage. I remember reading most people can identify a person speaking in a foreign accent within 80ms. That's pretty impressive!

I'm currently trying to actively get rid of my accent. I've been asked a few times whether I'm actually British, and pretty much nobody can actually guess where I'm from.

As a comparison, my German (as a foreign language) used to tell us the first year we learned it, "beginners shouldn't use a bilingual dictionary".

In order to ensure the word you found in the dictionary is correct, you need to be good enough in the language. Often there will be homonymns in your native language, and you'll get the wrong word. For example you want to translate the bank of a river but end up with the place that keeps your money.

It's the same with answers you get from Google or Stack Overflow about programming. If you're not good enough to ensure they're correct, you'll be in trouble.

Except I would have been unable to do low calories at the time because I felt it like starving, while low carbs was pleasant, sustainable (last time for two years) and worked like a charm.

So if I lost 5 kg of water and "only" 15 kg of fat, so be it... as opposed to 0 kg of anything with low calories.

In 30 years I've read a lot against low-carbs, but nothing that can reconcile the fact that it works.
Learning an alphabet might not be particularly difficult in itself, but being able to consciously identify symbols is not enough for your brain to form higher-level abstractions. It's not unattainable by any means, of course, it's just a significant obstacle. (IMO)
Hehe, slight understatement. The Dutch learn English from 8 is it? Being Dutch, I guess you can't really relate to any of the other foreigners in the thread.

The Dutch all speak English so well you can move there and never bother learning Dutch. And unlike the French, who will fake not understanding, they seem positively delighted to get a chance to use English. In fact, I've had other English people complain to me that it's often very hard to get them to speak Dutch to you once they know you're English. The only time I've ever heard anyone complain is one night out in Amsterdam where we met up with some Dutch people and one of them said "Oh no, are we speaking English tonight?"

Although I'm a bit surprised they'd have entire uni courses in a foreign language, but I guess it makes sense in programming precisely because it's such an advantage.

Since that line of reason (which is a good one!) tends to be brought up when it comes to basic income, or "end of the age of scarcity" discussions, let me just add to this:

None of this depends on the current social contract of money seeking work (employment, contractors, ...).

It's perfectly possible to do meaningful work with meaningful social interactions when no money is changing hands and no threat of starvation is looming over people.
Startup Weekend 2014 Brisbane Australia Live
Maybe for some things, but not necessarily for everything amazon cares about, such as performance and reliability. For both of those amazon doesn't really care about averages, they care about the 3 9's experience. If there's a 0.5% chance that page load will take longer than some small number of milliseconds then that's not good enough for amazon and they'll go back to the drawing board. Factor in bugs in the new layout being fixed during the A/B test (necessitating resetting statistics) and it's easy to see how it could take a year to fully roll out a big change given amazon's cautiousness.
No, doh.

Still, maybe a little hint could work to improve usability in this sense?

The difference is the OpenGL implementation.

On Windows, Chrome uses the ANGLE middleware to implement WebGL. It's a layer that implements the OpenGL ES 2 API on top of Direct3D 9. That solves quite a lot of driver quality issues (at the cost of some overhead).

So the question is, which GPU/driver was being used on Linux.

What GPU/driver are you using?

This looks like either a driver bug or some unsupported combination of pixel formats.

Unfortunately, WebGL doesn't solve these compatibility issues that are inherent to OpenGL and running on a wide variety of hardware and drivers.
But, no? I don't understand how you could possibly draw that conclusion. The "WMD" ISIS have discovered were decommissioned WMD from the 90s. They aren't capable of being deployed.
As far as I know it is already an EU law and, as with the vast majority of EU laws, each member state can decide to override with additional restrictions (usually under some limitations).

Yes, but they usually have minimums. Like "Employees must get at least X weeks paid holiday", or "Customers must have a right to return something within at least X days". In countries where X was 0, or there was lots of exceptions, a minimum brings those laws forward.

> One other thing worth pointing out is that weighing yourself daily and plotting it on a graph like this is a fantastic way to observe progress and stay motivated to stick to your new routine.

This is absolutely the most important "diet" that I've done - having a mobile phone app, I use "Libra" on Android, that prompts me every morning for my weight and shows the trend curve. I can easily see now that my weight consistently goes down when I'm exercising and watching my diet, which is a slow process of experimentation in lifestyle, and it stalls if I'm only doing one of those or neither. Previously monitoring my day-to-day weight was ineffective due to the fluctuations you mentioned.
While I appreciate the tecnological background of this project, I don't like this kind of traslators.

It could be useful if you need to execute Java code in Objective-c runtime, but not if you want develop iPhone/iPad app.

Obj-C is simple, the problems are the iOS frameworks that you need to learn to delivery an iOS App.
If you are Java skilled, anyway you need to learn these frameworks, and you will spend your time to traslate the examples(stackoverflow) from obj-c to java

I'm not a xcode fans, but it is a great tool when you use the StoryBoard and all features to test, performance, memory .. etc.

Another point is that with the introduction of the Swift language this traslator loses other value

Thats basiclly lenins great innovation. If you look at the leaders of the USSR, you will see people from all around the empire, while in the older system you would have the older familly based fudalism.

The soviet dream, get into the low levels of the party, work yourself up. That was not possible befor.
Note, going to the Gym is also a great way to put on weight, so, I wouldn't correlate "going to the gym" and adding/losing weight. There's good research that shows even high-metabolic activity like running 5 miles/day isn't correlated with losing weight (though it is well correlated with increased aerobic capacity).

Basically, any diet whatsoever will result in you losing weight. Just measuring/charting your weight is effective too. Chewing 7 times with every bite will do it.

High protein diets are particularly awesome for a number of reasons though - in the first couple months you drop a ton of water, which makes the scale drop quickly, which is emotionally rewarding. And, eating a lot of protein tends to result in more rapid satiation. (Water and Dietary Fiber are good here too - so a simple diet trick is, four glasses of water with every meal).

Protein is also good when you are lifting, so is an important component in building muscle mass...

This is awesome! I have a PI that controls my 433MHZ sockets using a NodeJS server. Using this with Siri would be really cool.
Personally, i'd go with Objective C but it doesn't hurt to know both! In the end though, it won't make much difference at this stage, just get your head around the platform with whatever you feel more comfortable with when you take a look. There's more resources for learning Objective C right now. Good luck with whatever you choose.
Now why would it be offensive? Is Google so much better than Boing or Lockheed Martin?

Saying that it has zero to do with Googles mission or business model isn't relevant. Google does plenty of things that has nothing to do with their mission; which I assume is still "to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful".

Android, self-driving cars, drone delivery, drug research, AppEngine and the whole robots project itself, are all projects that has little or nothing to do with their mission.

If there's money to be made in doing robot weapons for the US government I assure you that Google will at the very least consider it.
Interesting that they don't have m1 instances, which is a problem if you need cheap disk space.
The purpose of j2objc is not to address a single platform. It's not to write code in Java in order to deliver an iOS only app. It's to share logic across multiple platforms.

If you combine j2objc and GWT together, you can share code between Web, native Android, and native iOS, while writing the UI in JS, Objective-C with InterfaceBuilder/Xcode, or native Android Views.

If you want to share non-UI code across all three platforms you have these kinds of choices:

* js everywhere (WebView wrapper or embedded JS interpreter on iOS)
* C everywhere (emscripten/NaCl on WEB)
* Java everywhere (GWT->js for Web, j2objc for iOS)

I can only speak from experience, but option three worked fantastically.
Be progressive
Same, I lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago and it was hard. And it's still difficult to keep the weight off, even though it's been 5 years since I lost it and am on a regular exercise routine.

I've pretty much learned to accept it's something I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life, rather than "I was fat once, I got rid of it, it's no longer a concern, the end."

It totally pisses me off to see people who can't manage to do the same being judged in awful ways by people who were lucky enough not to have to do it in the first place or for whom it was apparently relatively easy and assume it'll be just as easy for everyone else.

I count myself amongst the lucky, I'll never say "I could do it, so you can too." It's counter productive and an awful thing to hear when you're already really trying.
