If I'm reading correctly between the lines, they are pouring a ton of CPU into this effect. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me what we saw in the demo is literally almost all this effect can do, and there's not a lot of power left over for actually running a game.

Same thing for all the things you see Commodore 64 demos do... by the time you're creating the awesome graphical effect there's often not a lot left over for the game itself. (Though there are some interesting exceptions... there appear to be some surprisingly high-quality side-scrolling platformers now based on "bad lines", which are both explained and then the platformers shown at https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=fe... . Though the entire presentation is fascinating and shows a few other demoscene effects in real programs.)

> I have a standing $100 bet with two of them that they will not retire in the oil industry.

I'm also in oil & gas right now and I suspect that you're going to lose, though not because the industry is going to grow. It's going to shrink strictly based on out-of-the-ground production.

But the oil companies aren't huge, they're gigantic. And they're not going to just roll over and die. If tomorrow someone gets a working LFTR going you can be sure that all the majors are going to spend a LOT of money trying to buy said company and scale it up.

And the oil companies already own tremendous amounts of assets re: liquid fuels so they'd just start plopping reactors down in the middle of their plants and start producing DME (for diesel) or whatever the gas equivalent is out of various feedstocks.

It'd take a decade or two to finally make the transition, but I really think that's where things are going. The oil companies regularly spend billions getting leases on land, drilling, production assets, etc. To spend $10b (or $100b even) on buying a 'safe nuclear' technology to avoid going out of business I suspect wouldn't generate too many waves.

So they'll be sort-of reinvented, but still largely themselves. The majors aren't necessarily oil companies anymore, but energy companies. We're going to see them slowly change or die, but I suspect most will transition successfully just because they have so much money under "management" that it'll be hard to screw up too badly.

And part of my point is precisely that in the subsequent rewrite, the OS-level specialness of Apple is now essentially gone. (Apple itself of course has a distinct identity.) While I do not necessarily believe where we are today is completely inevitable, I do also tend to think that it's an awfully strong local optima. (People often come up with radical ideas for alternate approaches but IMHO have a hard time proving alternate approaches are generally better, as opposed to better for a very particular use case.)

I've found strength to be extremely useful in golf. Before I made a concerted effort to get stronger, I could hit a drive in the 275 yard range if I swung hard and got lucky with it not slicing too badly. Now I can take a more measured swing and I hit it just as far, but much straighter. This goes doubly for iron shots, because I'm now 1-2 clubs lower for the same distance, giving me much more control and forgiveness.

The other benefit, especially of a barbell program like Starting Strength, is stronger stabilizer muscles (both core and others), which provide a better "platform" for whatever skill you're exercising.

I'm not sure if it applies to all skills, but intuitively it makes sense to me that you can use more muscle for finesse without sacrificing power if you're stronger.

If you're looking to loose some weight I've had this conversation with a few people. It rests on the idea that the the recommended Caloric intake of 2000 Cal/day is likely wrong for you. It might be right but for a lot of people it's probably off.

tl;dr if the above doesn't apply to you.

Annoyed by increasing workouts and limited results I took to data cataloging my metabolism to find weak points in my diet. What I found was that I burn less than 2000 Cal in one day when I'm just doing my regular day to day activities. Meaning if I eat the typical diet I gain weight steadily until my mass is actually consuming all those extra calories and I'm slightly overweight.

Procedure:

Take about 1 week of data, don't change your lifestyle for that week do what you normally would do. Your body responds in about a 1 day cycle and you need about a week to get a clear trend.

Record your weight/date-time once to twice a day at the same times, like morning and evening. Preferably without too much clothing so it doesn't throw off the numbers.

Use some app or a notebook and note every single thing you eat, and I mean everything. You eat a peanut that counts, you have coffee that counts, all of it.

Record any excess exercise you do as well, like a 20min run or biking. Things you do as extra to work out. Compute the Calories this is worth.

End of the week plot your weight and draw a trend line, the slope/day is what you want to know how many pounds per day are you gaining or loosing.

Compute the Calories per day you ate minus the calories burned on exercise, and get the Average. Hopefully you didn't eat wildly different amounts each day that can throw things off a bit.

"3500 calories equals one pound of body weight" => compute the calories from the slope (lb/day) computed earlier if it's positive subtract that from the average caloric intake, if it's negative add it.

This is you're baseline Caloric burn rate per day. Meaning if you do your day to day stuff and eat this much you will neither gain or loose weight. If you're trying to loose weight and don't have time or interest in working out you can just cut anywhere from 100-300-500 Cal from your day to day diet and it'll slowly go down. More than 500 Cal is typically difficult unless you balance it with also working out. Anything over a deficit of 1000 Cal is usually considered unsafe.

The only reason for cardio is to strengthen your heart and keep your blood vessels clear (and so you don't get winded going up stairs), but a 20+min run 2-3 times a week or even some sport activity can solve that.
High on volume? What?!

You can be out of the gym in 30 minutes or less. It's 3 exercises 3 times per week. 15 sets total per gym session (not counting warm-up sets).

The whole point is to start with a very low weight (empty bar) and work your way up by adding 2.5lbs to each side every time you go back in. It's the fastest linear progression workout for beginners.

From my experience, Strong Lifts 5x5 is the recommended beginner's workout. You need a solid base to start off with. and 5x5 gets you there the quickest, because you are doing compound lifts. Biggest gym noob mistake is to go in there and start doing isolation exercises, when you are already lacking a base. That causes muscle imbalances which can then result in tendon and joint issues.

Edit: Just wanted to add that the 5x5 can transition into 3x5 and then 1x5 as you move up in weight and plateau. This can keep you going until you squat 400-500 pounds and deadlift 500-600.
This is about trying to "catch up" to the encryption Apple has in HFS+. On iOS, there are a number of different policies that can protect a file: it can always be accessible, be accessible only after the user first unlocks their device, or only be accessible while the device is unlocked. The ability to say "I have locked my device: destroy the in-memory keys used to decrypt most of my data" is really powerful and important, as otherwise I can attack your running phone that I steal out of your pocket to obtain your data. This kind of flexibility just doesn't fit at the level of a block device.

Android has too many other stumbling blocks that make this sort of social innovation happen - in Androids' case, I believe, there are far, far too many clones with variance in the implementation of the standard that make it impractical to target the broader platform for such tricks.

strength training 3x a week will with no other exercise will leave the average person with extremely poor cardiovascular fitness. if you lack the strength to carry out household tasks you would be better off with basic bodyweight exercises. the average western person is sedentary and does not exercise enough, so it makes little sense to recommend 3 hours a week of training that consists of mainly of recovering between sets.

there is also no evidence for the preventative benefits of heavy lifting. for the average person who starts lifting to feel and look better, starting strength makes no sense: it is sub optimal for increasing mass, is hard and not that enjoyable compared to less intense weightlifting routines, increases the length of workouts, interferes with training for other sports, is incompatible with serious participation in sports (outside of powerlifting), requires rapid and unhealthy weight gain for progression for many trainees...

even if you don't agree with all my points, at least ask yourself if it makes sense to recommend a highly specific sports training routine to everyone looking for basic fitness advice.

There's no double standard in my view. Calling it that in a persuasive essay about why you should avoid the TRS-80 is similarly childish and imprudent.

Almost certainly so. But this is clearly framed as a persuasive essay.

I also recommend YAYOG program. It's $3 now for the app and I really think it's worth that price. I think it was $7 when I got it, and it was money well spent. Timers, videos, descriptions, warm-up and cool-downs, everything is set up so you can just start working out.

Also, you can lurk http://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness and http://www.reddit.com/r/yayog. Every question has already been answered.
Things I've encountered frequently:

1. "I need to do X in Linux." Web search for software.

2. Try to install it. Find out I need Gnome 3.44 and I'm not running Gnome at all.

3. Find something else. This doesn't seen Gnome.

4. I try to install it. Wait, I need a newer version of a library.

5. I grab the latest version of that library. Wait, idiot, that version is TOO NEW!

6. So I find the exact version and install it and oh son of a cow now everything is broken.

And at each step there's a different sub-community telling me I'm a complete idiot. ("Why don't you use Gnome?" "Why don't you use package manager X?" "Why the fuck are you using that package manager???!")

In the US we've got "high" energy prices but nowhere near as high as in Europe, so we can probably tolerate another doubling or two of prices before it gets really, really unbearable.

Until that happens there won't be any substantial pressure to get a LFTR program going, which will definitely solve the problem.

It sometimes really gets to me that we're all suffering a lot because a few politicians won't be adults and do their job and fix the energy situation. But there are a lot more campaign contributions from existing big business than theoretical new big businesses.
The zooming keyboard sounds like Dasher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasher_(software)
Bystander here, neither upvoted nor downvoted you, but I think one reason for the skepticism is that people have hard the "It shouldn't be hard to implement X in language Y..." refrain many times before, and until somebody actually does implement X in Y, it means nothing. "It shouldn't be hard to make Python at least as fast as V8." "It shouldn't be hard to implement static typing on top of Python 3 function annotations." "It shouldn't be hard to add lambdas to Java [well, they finally did with Java 8...which we still can't use on Android]".

If it's actually not that hard, go implement a checker for Go that does check that statically-allocated rvalues are never used again, and post it here. You'll probably shoot to the top of Hacker News, it'd be a nice open-source project for the resume, and it'd provide a very useful tool for the Go community.
It's impossible for your comment not to be an implicit comparison of the two. No amount of disclaiming the intention to compare can prevent that.
> First, please don't compare Go and Rust. They are completely different languages with completely different target use cases.

Then why does everyone insist on comparing Rust and C++? Objectively Rust is much closer to Go than to C++.

That's just dumb. Rust and Go were, in fact, contemporarily designed to similar constraints and with similar goals. That they made significantly different design choices is an interesting point that should be discussed and not swept under the rug just to win internet points.
The world has always been about to end, and there have always been people ready to make money scaring people over it. This time is no different. In fact, we are better equipped to deal with our current problems than any generation of humanity has ever been.
I can second this from personal experience. People that spend an hour in the gym pumping away at 50% capacity with bicep curls are never going to see the kinds of gains they imagine. You will get the gains you want by pushing yourself to muscle failure within a couple of sets every single time you hit the gym. Short, powerful workouts is how you encourage testosterone production, which is exactly how you get strength (and naturally, size follows). As a side note, you must be very careful about preventing injury. It's very easy to injure yourself if you're always doing your max. It takes incredible concentration.

I agree. I recently started Wendler's 5-3-1 Triumvirate program[0]. It pairs one strength lift with two volume lifts. I really like making progress in both simultaneously. It takes a little more time (45 mins-1 hour, 4 days/week) than Starting Strength, but I feel like it's worth it.

Another question, it seems they have a strong push to use the software tools (makes sense). A lot of the time that I'll have for this will be away from home, but not particularly busy (I tend to show up to places early so I often spend up to an hour at a bar/restaurant reading a book before friends arrive).

> First, please don't compare Go and Rust. They are completely different languages with completely different target use cases. Go has very different design goals than Rust, so very little that Rust does would actually be possible in Go, and vice versa.

It's perfectly reasonable to compare any two programming languages, especially where their use cases overlap.

> As for the code you're referring to, Go is not designed to be a language which prevents you from shooting yourself in the foot with provable code. It's designed to be a language which makes it reasonably easy to be sure you haven't, as long as you follow the general idioms and best practices. What you're describing here is definitely not one - I can think of a few instances in which pointers might be reasonably passed over a channel, but they're few and far between.
