Anyone who says that hasn't tried hard enough. You can absolutely outrun your fork. You just have to run a lot further than you think. There are no fat people who run 50 miles a week.

HN suffers from a peculiar obsession with theory and optimization. There's no secret to aerobic exercise: go get your heart rate mildly elevated for a while. Do whatever activity you can stand making part of your regular life, and stic

Commit to an exercise regimen, ultimately building up to an hour or so of vigorous activity a day. Find some physical activity you enjoy and train hard to get better at it. Your diet and weight will ultimately take care of themselves if you

You're not losing fat because you're too sedentary. You absolutely can outrun your fork. You just have to run a lot further than you think. Show me a fat person who runs 50 miles a week.

You can absolutely outrun your fork, even into middle age. You just have to run a lot fucking farther than you think. A mile burns about 100 calories, very conservatively. Do the math, then do the miles. It's not going to be easy but i

I worked at AIG during that crash, in their mortgage insurance subsidiary. To say we were hammered is a massive understatement. Two thirds of the company was laid off during one week: the gating factor was meeting rooms in which to process

Isaac Asimov thought so. I recall reading a quote by him at one point about how air conditioning and television directly made cities (of which he was very fond) less safe and friendly places because people didn't stay outside to social

I've written this exact idiom in some parts of a very poorly structured, tightly-coupled PHP codebase I've inherited. I'm not a huge fan, because it clutters the codebase a bit (that's 4 lines of overhead per dependency)
