Metabolism gets used to aerobic exercise quickly so it is not good for loosing fat. High intensity training (HIT) burns more fat overall.

Timing on carbohydrates is important also. Eat them when you need them like around exercise, before work or in the morning. After your glucose storage is full extra energy will be stored as fat.

How well fat will burn depends mostly how good shape your metabolism is. If your metabolism is slow when you start dieting it will only get slower and you really have to starve yourself to lose weight.

Slowly increasing carbohydrates when not loosing weight and exercise is good way to speed up your metabolism so you are able to loose that fat after you gain some.

Cardio exercises are last resort at the end of the diet when your metabolism is really slow and you want to eat something.

So while eat less than you use is good starting point to loose weight. You can make it so much easier to your self with exercise and proper food.

I just discovered this http://www.freecodecamp.com/ which ticks off all of my boxes:

-free

-opportunities for pair programming

-structured curriculum to help level up skills

Anyway, I am going to give it a try. I hope this discovery helps anyone else that stumbled on this question and was looking for something similar.

My one reservation concerns their business model (they do not appear to have one...). So, I hope this program still exist in the months it takes to complete the courses and projects.

Maybe the tech IPO is dead because Andressen Horowitz (et al) invest in Series B, C, and D at geometrically increasing valuations and have pushed valuation levels to where the public markets are skeptical.
I've always wondered about this!

In my everyday experience I've always noticed a difference in this effect between:

1) my normal home<>work commute (15 minutes by bike)
I don't feel a discernible difference in the time it takes (maybe because the trip to work is downhill and effectively shorter than the return home, which is uphill. the difference in speed compensating for the effect maybe?)

2) a holiday trip (100-200 Km by car)
Here I definitely always feel the return trip to be much shorter

> 500 calories from Macdonalds is not the same as 500
> calories of fresh vegetables

You will find yourself in the "No True Scotsman" fallacy very quickly there. It is a microsecond of thought experiment to find 500 McDonald's calories that are better for you than a specific 500 fresh vegetable calories.
Calorie deficit is harmful for you though, there's an imbalance. You tell your body it's starving. As soon as you have an extra calorie to spare, you're body will immediately store it as fat, making your hard work essentially meaningless in the long run.

Luckily, the dimensions of a standard staple haven't change in 50+ years, so you can purchase a beautiful used old Ace Pilot for under $15 - http://munk.org/typecast/2014/05/21/stapler-of-the-week-1938... (Or just get a new-used Apsco 2002 on ebay..)

But I agree. We (?) have a tendency to turn iteratively refined utilitarian items into commodities, and in the process, lose the subtle design aspects that made them remarkable in the first place.

At time of writing, this is RIGHT NEXT to a comment saying "Still amazed that people are still considering this a pure caloric issue and not a food quality issue."
"Don't worry, it's running as restricted windows user, there is no way it could possibly ever... oh"
Percent body fat is a better metric to reduce than weight alone. Most men would even want to gain weight if it is muscle mass. If you want lean bodymass it's best to control your blood sugar (low glycemic diet) and exercise.

Calories in/out does control weight but there more to it if you don't want to end up skinnyfat. If you think calories is all that matters, try a diet solely of dextrose (glucose) and see how you end up.

So I hope we'll have less "But it worked for me!" in this thread and more thought about something a bit more universal and averaged out.

HN fucking sucks at these discussions. There's a strong resistance to the evidence base (exercise doesn't help with weight lose and may make things worse; lifestyle changes of eating different does work; still recommend exercise because of other important health benefits).
There are very few entry level jobs for C and C++ programmers from what I see. The people looking for C++ programmers tend to have hard problems and are looking for really good programmers.

It's much easier finding entry level jobs if you know Javascript/Java/Ruby etc.
Who cares about overweight? It's about being healthy, but people forgot that. A lot of people from the gym are classified as overweight, with fat or not, but they are healthy as a horse and look good as well.
This concern about losing weight has gone way too far.
Absolutely agree with you, but that is an entirely different discussion. A good use case for the quality vs. quantity issue would be bodybuilders. Throughout a bulking cycle they make (or ... they should make) a concerted effort to do a "clean bulk" - which is healthy, good food. Ask any bodybuilder how difficult that is - which is exactly what you're saying. It's difficult because the food makes them full, satiated, etc.

BUT - they still bulk. They still put on the excess weight regardless of how clean they eat. Calories in, calories out.
This is true but not relevant to the parent comment's concerns about security/privacy.
That does sound like quite a good approach, there are a few issues though:

1. Some vague throttling is useful, but I can only do this on an account level with Lambda rather than per function. Trying to call the API in bursts of 10000 requests may be problematic, which would limit our use of lambda for other tasks (for which we may be happy running that many in parallel). The default limit of 100 would probably serve well enough though.

2. I've now got to add splitting and recombining code on each end, with concerns around failed jobs being silently missed from the final output file. Although that extra work may leave me with a better approach to handling some failed jobs out of a large file. Hmm.

Part of the issue is that without the execution limit, this is an amazingly simple script. I've got a 10-20 line python script which does the actual processing of a file (read, hit api, store with a pool of N concurrent requests). Lambda is impressive because it adds only a small level of complexity to a problem and gives you a lot in return, just because my use-case is so simple that small amount of complexity adds up to relatively quite a lot.

Currently the setup doesn't hit the API, it just creates a dedicated instance to process a batch of data locally, but I'm hoping to simplify things to send everything through the API and just scale & load balance separately. Having code to automatically turn on & be responsible for turning off machines makes me a bit nervous :) I've already missed that I'd deleted the shutdown command in a script and left a box running for a day while developing.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll try and work through it in more detail today, see if I can see a clean way of dealing with the recombination. I think that's the side that I'm less clear on at the moment.

Years ago, if you wanted a small PCB manufactured, your only option was to deal directly with the board manufacturer and the minimum order was 100's or 1000's of boards. Prototyping a one-off hobbyist design was totally out of the question.

About 5 years ago a few startups figured out that if you played a large game of Tetris by combining the board designs of many hobbyists, you could submit the order as a single, giant PCB in a quantity of 10, or 5, or even 3. When the manufactured boards arrived, you break up the individual designs and mail them out individually to all of the hobbyists.

You're right, so let's move the discussion on.

Most people know what they should be eating: why aren't they eating it? Why do some people find it so hard to avoid excess calories?

Or, is 2,000 calories of chocolate as satiating as 2,000 of carrot and potato?

Or how relevant is gut flora? (Some people have gut flora that helps them stay slim; other people have gut flora that help them stay fat); how easy is it for someone to change their gut flora?

Plus your salmon, bacon, vegetables and eggs diet will provide micronutrients needed for proper functioning of organs and immune system. A micronutrient deficit might not be obvious on the short run but can do serious harm to the body long term.
Is it really so simple? Doesn't that ignore all other bodily responses to food and assume that food has only one characteristic, to be used for energy? Isn't it possible that some food creates hormonal conditions that result in a body with a higher/lower metabolic rate? Isn't it also possible that some calories are lost through waste? I think it's naive to simplify such a complex process.

I believe the equipment you're seeing is just ordinary forestry harvesters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvester_%28forestry%29) then. They're typically wheeled or tracked.

Not sure if having legs is much of an advantage, although it sure looks cool. One big thing about this kind of equipment is controlling ground pressure. I guess the feet of a legged robot can have larger surface area (and thus lower pressure) than the contact surfaces of a wheeled vehicle so that might be an advantage.

Sandboxed unknown code is still better than non-sandboxed unknown code.
I also should say, that I do agree with you. If it is more that losing weight you want, then the caloric deficiency is not the best way go - like if you're doing resistance training. But somebody who is obese? Eat cleanly yes ... but most certainly eat less.

How?

immediately followed by an equation that disagrees with the statement

I'm confused: are you saying that "The rate of change of the momentum of a body equals the force acting on
the body" is inconsistent with the statement that F=ma for a body of constant mass? Because they are consistent:

F = dp/dt = d(mv)/dt

For constant mass, this is equal to m dv/dt = ma.

There really isn't that much science to it. On paper its really really simple.

To loose weight, you must expend more energy than you absorb.

However, conversely to get fit, you will need to eat a balanced diet, with enough calories to replace damaged muscles.

However on the weight loss front here are the golden rules:

Some people exercise (exercise expends energy)

Some people reduce energy consumption (eat less, or eat less calorific food)

Some people combine both.

There are no other options.

Seriously, if you are on a diet and you are not loosing weight, its not because you are unlucky, its because you are still absorbing more energy than you are expending. Exercise more, or eat less.

There is some evidence that efficiency can be altered by eating patterns, however that's not enough to over come eating an extra 300calories a day.

Everything else, is literally junk science. The 4:2 only works if on arrogate you consume less calories. Atkins only works if you can't absorb the extra energy you have in fat and protein. Etc, etc, etc.

This part is the easy part. Weight in 90% of cases is a symptom of one's environment. Changing environment is devilishly difficult.
Agreed, but it is not the same thing as saying there is no security issue.
> Discrete electronic components are sort of the "assembly language" of electronics

Yes, but to make the analogy more realistic, it is an assembly language for a relatively simple and very slow and inefficient, power-consuming processor.

Nowadays, with discrete electronics components, one unfortunately cannot make fast and lean electronics like any of the big companies are making.
Well, whether you call it overweight or not, some people just want to lose fat, for whatever reason.
Taking an average of wildly varying microbenchmark scores doesn't seem particularly useful. Furthermore Rust has never had particularly optimal implementations for the benchmarks game (I can't speak as to the quality of the Go implementations). Furtherfurthermore this blog post is so old that the Rust results cannot be considered representative. Furtherfurtherfurthermore I would like it if we could just all collectively stop treating the benchmarks game as though any of its microbenchmarks measure anything other than "is this language capable of binding to libpcre" or "is this language capable of binding to libgmp". I swear, the benchmarks game is the SunSpider of programming language comparisons.

(Furtherfurtherfutherfurthermore, why are we still comparing Rust to Go? I thought we had gotten over this!)

Rust's not there yet and I wonder if it can compete. The thing is it is too specialized and low level (not that it is a bad thing for what it is intended for). The problem with all of the low-level things is that they are seriously undervalued.

I am glad that there is servo but we need something like an operating system (IoT might work for the start). I hope Samsung changes its plans with Tizen and eventually will develop something with Rust in mind.
How do you expect to build muscle without breaking it down to rebuild? Carbs are very important in that phase post workout (along with insulin).

This is why the human body is so fascinating. If my conversions are correct I weigh 88kg, perform about an hour of exercise a day and by limiting my calories to 2500/day I'm losing ~.8kg/week. I'm weighing all my food at home and at work so I doubt I'm out by more than maybe 100 calories.

Yet you are much larger, and fitter, but only need 2300 to maintain. I used to have more than 25% of your total daily intake in my coffees! And I've never been fat fat.
He forgot about one thing though: "How to learn this stuff?" I did some very basic electronics in my CS class, but since then I didn't touch anything hardware-like.
I would love to see a widely accepted and relatively short introduction to this.

To me the difference between electronics and programming is that with code I can do something that works very quickly. Whereas in electronics I would have to go through the whole 900 pages book before making something that works.

I might be wrong - maybe there is some path that I would take - I didn't look up very closely. And please don't say hardware is hard - General relativity theory is hard, but I manage to understand it because It is simply explained in many places over the internet.
There are good reasons to use LC_ALL=C for certain commands, especially if you want sorting that's stable across different systems. Sometimes you want "aa" to be before "b" even though the Norwegian UTF-8 locale puts it after "å" (which comes after "…zæø"):

$ echo $'a\naa\nb\nå'| LC_ALL=C sort
a
aa
b
å
$ echo $'a\naa\nb\nå'| LC_ALL=nn_NO.UTF-8 sort
a
b
å
aa

Even worse, some characters that are byte-different collate the same:

$ echo $'∨\n∧'|LC_ALL=C sort -u
∧
∨
$ echo $'∨\n∧'|sort -u
∨

Handling Unicode sanely requires understanding some Unicode.

In private sales people take big chunks and have incentives to investigate the companies deeply - much of the public market is about small chunks where people don't do as deep investigations, because it would cost them more than the potential benefit. Of course in the public market there would also be some big chunks buyers that would do those deep investigations - but it is not guaranteed how big influence they would have on the price.

Don't use SSH in a trust-on-first-use configuration in that situation.

There are two other modes to use. Either DNSSEC with SSHFP fingerprints, or sign your host keys with a CA key that you install on all your machines.

A decent configuration management tool could also keep known_hosts up to date, but it tends not to be worth the trouble. Do the above first.
