I have done exactly this, and it's been fine. I regularly ride centuries around the Bay Area on a sugar free diet.

Your body definitely needs time to adapt to a fat based diet, but it can satisfy all your energy needs.

I've also done centuries with sugary 'energy' foods. I frequently found myself having to pull over or dangerously balance in order to keep my blood sugar high by dosing myself every 45 minutes. Your stomach churns, your teeth feel awful, being constantly in service to your legs. Burning the fat is a much more comfortable proposition.
Yep - this guy does some great stuff on fat too: http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/2013/05/low-carb-triathl...

There are ways to solve captchas somewhat reliably programatically. I suspect this plugin only works on certain computer generated captchas, not the street sign ones.

I suspect that this list is really just a database sort over a weighted set of criteria. That sort gets you the "most problematic" criminals by some criteria.

After than we have the following:

* the person is in jail, in which case being on the list is largely irrelevant

* the person is out of jail, but not committing crimes, in which case being on the list is largely irrelevant. They will presumably fall off of the list as they fail to commit crimes

* the person is out of jail, but has just been apprehended for committing a crime.

For the last situation, the list is hugely important, because it helps you deal with the crime in context.
Play 2 really is a different framework than Play 1, which was what brought Play its fame. If you like Play 1, try the Ninja Framework. It has a cheesy name but it has the super fast development cycle that Play 1 used to have.
This article only touches lightly on what I believe to be Reddit's primary weakness, namely the inability to elect moderators for various subs. If someone is able to do a Reddit-like site with a fair means for nominating and electing moderators they will have a good chance at eclipsing Reddit's success.

Reddit could also implement this themselves, and given the sometimes questionable actions of some moderators (e.g. when all Tesla-related stories were being banned from /r/technology ) this would help to legitimize the nominal democratic nature of the site.
Thx!.

Non working-days can be removed by setting the non-working hours to "cropped" in the demo.

It is possible to define non-working days by defining time frames. This allows to have things like public holidays, weekends or time slots e.g. 8am-5pm. See: https://www.angular-gantt.com/configuration/attributes/#time...

That's a really interesting article.

It is fair to point out (which the article does as well) that the athletes were running at 75% of V02 max, which is lower than when racing in cycling. I ride a lot, and anecdotally I had a cycling teammate that changed his diet to consist of primarily fats for 6 weeks. The first few weeks his body was adjusting and his endurance and power dropped dramatically as you would expect. After 4 weeks, though, he had come back and had a really strong season.

The way I understand it is that as intensity increases it becomes more difficult for the body to convert fat for a large source of fuel, and glycogen becomes the largest contributor to energy. I know the feeling of a "bonk", when glycogen depletes, is a really strange one and all fuel is coming from fat at that point and intensity has to drop by quite a bit in order to continue.

Thanks for this. Another reason for me to get off Paypal as fast as I can. I understand that vulnerabilities can exist with any system but Paypal just continues to amaze. Unfortunately, I still have 3 customers on paypal :(
Reading this, I'm struck by a few things that I believe are telling about the tech sector's culture.

The paternalistic/maternalistic attitude of Paul and Jessica is more than a little cloying. Frankly, it seems like they enjoyed the position of power granted them by the cash in their wallets.

And second, the focus on dysfunctional behavior as an aberration instead of the norm. See how the term 'dysfunction' is used to describe Yishan's departure, Twitter's board, Reddit in general.

Things rarely go 'professionally' when humans are concerned; I'd argue, in fact, that Yishan found a quite professional avenue to quit, in that it did not become a shouting match over a core issue.

I think it a mark of corporatism to adhere strongly to the facade of professionalism and punish or otherwise shame those that prove it a lie. Meanwhile, cultural leaders within the Valley pick favorites and call them "Muffins" but are, presently, secure from social fallout.

There is an in crowd and an out crowd, in other words.
Have anyone read more marketing speak than this website?

"It’s pure.
With Wire you can easily move from messages and pictures to HD voice. Wire’s pristine audio quality makes it feel as if the people you are speaking to are right there with you."

I don't even know what this means? I mean, will quality still be "right there with you" if the latency on the network is large? or if you phone is loaded doing some task in the background?

So much of this kind of stuff is hard to guarantee because it is outside of your control.

Soldering BGA is not all that impressive, routing proper pcb for one is.

Contrary to popular belief soldering SMD in general is way easier than dip, all you need is an oven/hot plate/hotair gun and solder paste/flux. Magic happens due to molecular surface tension instead of your manual dexterity.
>>CS creates computer scientists. It doesn't necessarily make good programmers.

This is making the line between theory and practice too bright, there's actually quite a bit of overlap.

By 19 I was already working as a dev at a game studio you would know well and made a difficult decision to leave and do a CS degree.

It was incredibly worthwhile in my case, and I rely on theory and foundations learned all the time in the real world.

The point is yes you can get a job without a degree but in some cases you will never be quite as strong without investing in that foundation.
I understand pointers and structs just fine, it's just that you would think a modern language like Go would avoid use of pointers to structs and "bring-your-own-buffer" type calling conventions except wherever possible. It makes for ugly developer APIs, in my opinion.

That is, in a "friendly" language I expect to generate JSON like this (in pseudocode):

HashMap parsed = JSON::parse("{1: 2}");

not

JSONObj obj;
JSON::populate(&obj, "{1: 2}");
Thanks for this. I actually found 2 devices that I didn't recognize.
Yes, but it appears from http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/taxonomy.jsp?code=K...

that the MK20DX chip used on the Teensy 3.0 doesn't have the FPU and only clocks to 48 MHz. (3.1 clocks to 72 Mhz).

A bunch of us have been having a blast for the least two years with the STM32F4 which contains the FPU and clocks to 168 MHz. See http://reddit.com/r/stm32f4

Nevertheless, this web user interface by PJRC is quite spiffy. I can see synthesizer design moving ever-so-slowly in this direction.
> "I have JS and cookies disabled..."

Disabling essential parts of web functionality breaks web functionality. I'm shocked.

Dropping the snark though. I'm surprised that this is still a complaint. At this point in the web's evolution cookies and Javascript are essential. Disabling those will make your experience worse and complaining about that is like removing the windshield from a car and complaining that bugs get on your face.
Hi Peter,

Thank you for your comprehensive and insightful comments. We have a great team at LogDog and a product that can really help people. I agree that this is a complicated field and that the "bad guys" are really really smart. But you must agree with me that that is no reason not to push forward with ideas and technologies that can help people better protect themselves.

In the short time since we launched, our system has already made several confirmed catches - where we were able to warn users of unauthorized access to their accounts.

We put tremendous effort into securing the privacy of our users' data. We have undergone an external security audit and will continue to do so periodically.

We look forward to a fruitful discussion with the security community and to providing a service that we know to be both necessary and important.
I love Java. When used correctly it's a very powerful language that is easy to run in many environments. I choose it for any personal project that I can see growing beyond a few small scripts.

I hate Java culture. Too much Enterprise Java is filled with SomeThingImpl, MyModelDAO, SomeShittyBean, and magical XML configurations. I don't know how things got this way (I haven't been around long enough) but there is no reason Java the language has to be attached to this nonsense. I totally understand why people take one look at a modern Java codebase and swear off the language forever.

For me though, Java is the mainstream language that I find makes me most likely to be correct the first time I write a program. Yes that comes with verbosity. Yes that means I have to use a RAM-hungry IDE. But I write code that runs fast and correctly the first time. I love that.

TL;DR - Java (The Language) != Java (The Culture)
The Sony Pictures Hack: Hollywood’s Snowden Moment
Its about the right price for +20dBmW at 6cm. minicircuits.com has several MMIC in that freq range at that output power.

Transcom sells a nice well over 30 dBmW MMIC for that same freq band... you can buy a kit from minikits in australia, the EME141-5800, the bare chip is like $20.

Some ham radio work shows you don't need the fancy 4 layer weird oshpark material for workable stuff in that general freq range. http://www.w1ghz.org/MBT/multiband.htm

As an interesting extreme opposite comparison, there was a B-29-ish era chirp radar altimeter for aircraft landing which was almost entirely mechanical. A little buzzer/motor thing varied the size of a resonant cavity by a little bit, and the resulting audio signal was turned into a voltage / altitude using something like a capacitor/resistor bridge. So one vacuum tube, a resistor, a capacitor, a diode mixer, and a meter (and a lot of plumbing)

If you'd like better antennas around that range, yet again, just ask a ham radio guy. Its a very awkward freq band where dishes, and most importantly dish feeds, are huge compared to 10 or 24 GHz band, but a loop yagi like you'd use at 2 GHz or lower would be ridiculously small. The microwave ham radio contester guys seem to like horn antennas at that band so couple it into a moderately large waveguide and attach the (homemade) waveguide to a (homemade) horn antenna.

I wouldn't downvote it, but "Is this also the first real perpetual motion machine?" indicates that the one asking the question is familiar with the terminology, and even knows that all known perpetual motion machines aren't real. If so, in this forum, I think we can assume that (s)he also can google that term and make some deductions from what (s)he finds. It is not as if (s)he does not have Internet access.

"I googled, and found differing opinions on whether perpetual motion is possible. Is this an example that shows that it is?" would be a better question. It still would surprise me that there are people on HN who would pose such a question about such a simple device, but it would show some intelligence and a will to make an effort to learn. The OP still may have both, but the way the question is posed doesn't show it.

This was a state government position where the "hiring manager" is "the person who looks at resumes and decides who to call to be interviewed" rather than the direct supervisor of the new hire.

If the expected cost of interviewing for and finding a new job where these things are already in place is greater than the cost of a couple evenings or weekends to add those features to the current work environment.
Your experience around the performance of SBT (and possibly, by extension, Play compilation) runs very much counter to my experience. I have found SBT to be much faster than Maven (thanks largely to the console). There may be something wrong with your project that is causing it to build so slowly. Are you seeing the compilation go very slowly or is it more issues with artifact resolution?
Continent-Sized Scan Reveals US Underbelly
The benefit of open source software is clear: If I open source my text editor it can be made better by other people contributing to it.

I don't see the benefit of "open sourcing" high quality media assets. The expectation of a media asset is for it to be completed and then used as is, not continuously improved like a software product.
Ahem, this is a thin UI wrapper around a browser engine written in C++ called WebKit, the main UI elements being in reality a thin lisp wrapper around a C UI framework called GTK.

Calling this a Lisp browser is like using Xmonad and calling Linux a Haskell Operating System.
While I agree with you, I rather have AOT compilers, no need for VMs.

And both Microsoft and Oracle are realizing this.

.NET has native compilation on WP, with .NET Native coming on .NET 5. NGEN is a very simple compiler just for optimizing startup time.

Java always had AOT compilers in commercial JVMs, but not on Sun.

Now Oracle has SubstrateVM, and there are plans for AOT compilation at least in Java 10 timeframe.

​This Is How Bad Self-Driving Cars Suck in the Rain
Although I agree that this is certainly true, I cannot vouch for its historic truth. It is possible that the vast reduction in the murder rate is primarily due to the fact that vehicle accidents are (no longer) considered murder, rather than any actual reduction in violent crime.

Not stating this as fact -- I haven't even done my homework to look at vehicle-related deaths over time -- but as motivation for the possible blind spot pointed out by thrownaway2424. Historical crime data is notorious for this because statistics are gathered by law enforcement and have a subjective aspect based on the time that they are gathered.
You're missing the fact that they're relying on many cues, not just mouse movement. I don't think they're even discolosing everything they use.
Well, funny story. When North Korea put up their first satellite it used GPS. Which, when you think about it, is pretty funny because denying entities like the North Korean regime use of GPS in that use case is a major reason the export controls exist.
High requirements? The only experience requirement is "Two (2) years of experience in providing technical service support." Even with a master's degree, $92,000 seems reasonable to me for someone with only 2 years of support experience.

There's only one thing that gets you out of it quickly - and that's a shovel full of carbs.
Imagine if we ran applications on our laptops the same way we run applications in our data centers. Each time we launched a web browser or text editor, we’d have to specify which CPU to use, which memory modules are addressable, which caches are available, and so on. Thankfully, our laptops have an operating system that abstracts us away from the complexities of manual resource management.
I coulda sworn those goalposts were over there.

Notice that that blog post references undergraduate grades, and that the parent to my post, as well as the post to which I link, mentions SAT scores. A global inflation in teachers' undergraduate grades does not imply those teachers are unqualified.

Also notice that the blog post I reference, in turn references this in-depth report on teacher quality.

I was hoping it would mention the growing problem of astroturfing and "viral" marketing.
I agree with you whole-heartedly, absolutely whole-heartedly - my concern is with pushing too far, too fast, out-pacing one's knowledge or capabilities, and making things worse.

My two greatest concerns reflect this: Without sufficient forethought, planning, and implementation, 1) your servers will be compromised and that anonymized data stolen and misused, and 2) users will have a false sense of security, especially the naive who have no reason to doubt the bold claims.

Think of the recent attacks on CurrentC systems after participating retailers disabled NFC to prevent use of Apple Pay: That brought them a lot of attention and that attention revealed that they were not ready for prime time, they simply did not grasp the enormity of the threat environment in which they hope to operate.

If you have the DevOps experience for defense-in-depth and PDRR, excellent! Hats off to you for attacking an interesting problem in an interesting manner.

> Actually, these engravings were made by an Homo Erectus 500.000 years ago. The first humans (Homo Sapiens) evolved 100.000-200.000 years ago.

Actually, "human" is a the common name for all members of genus Homo, and, anyhow, classification into species or subspecies within that genus is somewhat unsettled. H. sapiens sapiens -- anatomically modern humans -- seem to date from about 200kya, but whether H. sapiens does or not is a disputed matter of classification (with a variety of archaic human populations -- mainly heidelbergiensis, neanderthalensis, and rhodesiensis -- classified as either separate species within genus Homo or separate subspecies within species H. sapiens depending on the source.)
Yeah. I actually prefer prototyping with SMD these days, since everything is super cheap, easily available, small, and easy to solder. You basically apply flux liberally, heat up the pins, apply solder, and surface tension does the rest. (The whole "never melt solder with your iron, heat the pin and let it melt the solder" no longer applies. You can put a big ball of solder on your iron and just sweep it over the component you're soldering. There's plenty of flux in play because you drowned everything in flux.)

BGA is outside my abilities, however.
I may be wrong but wasn't there a HN discussion on this not too long ago? I vaguely remember a pretty heated discussion in the comments. I may be losing my mind.

Yeah, tracking cookies might not be. But cookies in general? They're essential for a large amount of sites to handle something as simple as logins.
Yeah. A proper Lisp browser would run on one of those old Symbolics machines. It would eschew html, css and javascript in favour of lisp for all 3. Instead of jpgs or gifs it would use Peter Henderson's picture language to describe all images, as it was famously demonstrated in SICP.

Side note: I've been on a ketogenic diet (high fat, very low carb) for a couple of months now and, cognitively, I feel far sharper and more alert than at any point I can recall. And more stable -- no more post lunch slump.

So there's one anecdote for you.
I don't have a link to the video but: There's an island in the caribbean that has little monkeys who love to steal tourists' alcoholic drinks. Only about 12% of the monkeys drink the alcohol (repeatedly going back to it), the same rate of alcoholism in humans. I thought that was interesting, monkeys and humans have the same rate of alcoholism, I guess the AA group was right, maybe alcoholism is a genetic disease.
"Moreover, during a tough self-control task, circulating glucose levels plummet, consumed by hardworking frontal neurons. And, remarkably, self-control improves if subjects sip sugary drinks during the task (with control subjects consuming sugar-free drinks)."

Then is controlling urge to sip sugary drinks a doomed enterprise?

Or maybe the problem is there's just no way to make a TaskRabbit-style business model work; you end up having to screw the workers (with moves like those described in the article), the users (with rates that are higher than people are willing to pay), or the investors (by burning through cash without a path to profitability).

It sounds like TaskRabbit, faced with that predicament, decided to screw the workers, which is disappointing but unsurprising.
Which is very funny, as they could've used celestial navigation systems/star trackers (which are impossible to deny them from using) similar to that used with ICBMS.

I've always thought star trackers would make wonderful backups to GPS for high-altitude aircraft (they work even during daylight hours depending on atmospheric conditions).
