I'm 99.99% sure this is just a joke. ;) It's the sort of thing that gets bandied about by Trump and his supporters. I laughed when I read it.

The best time to have learned something new was 10 years ago. The second best time is now.

That's one of Dr. Fung's arguments, there are a lot of creative diets that become reasonably complex etc and are hard to follow over the long run. He also points out the difficulty of portion control in the midst of a meal. Fastin

5-6 days a week I eat twice a day. 1-2 days I fast. I normally don't eat breakfast. I go to the gym at least once a week, but normally not more than 2 times. I don't do cardio, I only lift weights. Blood tests etc are all in the n

I generally try to avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates. I find if I eat too much of them my appetite spikes later in the day or the next day. So my "normal" diet low-carb, hight fat. I eat a lot of protein and vegetables but I&#

Diet research is notoriously difficult. If you have a chance (and haven't alreadY) pick-up Gary Taubes book, "The Calorie Myth." Even if you don't agree with his conclusions he does a great job in explaining the difficul

I've been trying out fasting over the past 6 months or so. I watched the BBC documentary (Eat, Fast & Live Longer) and read Jason Fung's book (Complete Guide to Fasting) and decided I'd see if I could do it; mostly to los

There will be a bit of "yak shaving" up front to get it working in the container but I think it's probably worth it over the long run. The main benefit is that you can be sure that the environment you develop in locally will

FWIW, I had a very similar experience and have a friend who had the same. Very off-putting. I was in the second round on-site and more or less felt like I probably had the job in the bag, still at the end when I met w/ the hiring manag

This isn’t my unique thought, I read it somewhere on the internet at some point where it was put much more eloquently, but it makes sense intuitively: The idea is that if you do enough start-ups, one (or if you’re lucky, more) of them will

I'll take your outrage comment has hyperbole, I've yet to see anyone that upset by it. Anyway, the frustration, I think, is it's just a new name applied to a role that always existed.

Gentoo's installation guide is great. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installatio... I don't use Gentoo anymore, it's been 8+ years, but I learned a lot from that distribution.

My hat is off to you. I did the same thing, mastering something like 85% of the material in the Mathematics area of Khan Academy before finally just enrolling at a university part-time to go deeper. Now that you're older you'll be

I have an embarrassing amount of Calculus books. My dad taught the subject in a high school and community college; I suppose I have a soft spot for it. "Calculus Made Easy" is a good book though I do think there are better ones th

There is an actual "Calculus for Dummies", written by Mark Ryan, it's a great book.

It could be. The clarity I'm speaking about came more from being led deeper into areas that I'd never had a need to explore in my job. E.g. How computers truly work, physically and mathematically, the specifics of scheduling algor

FWIW, I never graduated from college but turned out quite successful, at least as far as job position and compensation goes. I make well over average at a popular software company in the Bay Area. Still, for the past 3 years I have been usi
