Heh, actually that's one of the few message on HN that wants me to start the message with 'LOL' because I actually did! I'm french, I cook, I eat, and drink in pretty reasonable amount, and I'm a muscular 90Kg - wit

Personally, for the social aspect, I'm just quite open about it -- I just try not to go to the pub/restaurant etc but if the topic comes up, I just claim I'm becoming a shaolin monk and currently working on my kung-fu. Try th

Well I also enjoy cooking (a lot!), thus the need to 'reset' sometime. What I hate is counting calories, with the fasting I can pretty much eat as much as I like without having to worry, and when I feel I've done a bit too mu

You don't eat. At all. Nothing. It's not that hard really, as mentioned, the first day is a bit hard, but after that you are no longer hungry anyway.. I have sometime a glass of fruit juice in the morning, coffee, and water. The t

I often have a glass of fruit juice in the morning to get a bit of a kick. It also helps when you have a bit of 'metalic taste' in the mouth. Otherwise it's coffee in the morning, I'm a developer after all, code isn&#x27

How can you do this that often? I mean, I can do it once a month, or perhaps once every other week for 2 or 3 times but I lose so much weight that I never /had/ to do it more than that; In fact, one 5 day fast usually slims me dow

I agree with that; I do my fasting during the working week, my typical one is 3 to 5 days, starting sunday evening and more often than not, finish by a fantastic meal on the friday evening. I haven't tried longer than this, as it suits

I rather disagree with that short fasting time. The only real hard day is the first one; so just doing two days is a 'bad deal' I find, you get most of the inconvenient (the first day), and very little in terms of benefits. By the

It's your mindset perhaps? Do you resent something in particular? Personally I make it an 'event'. After 4 of 5 days fasting, on the last day I go shopping and prepare myself something /special/ and in quantity! Bec

No, AND they are actually useful for any sort of problem, like, reading a records from a file and that sort of stuff. Heck, I wrote one last week [0] because it's quick to implement and does the job. Same applies for the double-linked

To be fair, I've been using a Panasonic DMC-GM1 with a 14mm pancake for a few years and I don't really see how the DL would have improved on that... A bit more speed, but then again the GM1 is not even on sale anymore and Nikon f

It's not entirely true. Copland microkernel was in (hidden) in System 8.5 onward, and provided preemptive multitasking, file mapping, timers etc. It's just that the only real 'task' on it was the old cooperative OS. They

The trick is on the PT_ macros really, they hide the switch, case and gotos. I'll post the header later, but you probably can find it by googling for protothreads

I use duff's all the time in micro-embedded; best way to have 'coroutines' without all the necessary stack switching interface. It has it's limitations of course, but it's a terrific tool in certain circumstances.

Yes it's strange, it's one of the reason I stopped using C++ as a matter of fact. Given the innate amount of code required in C++ constructor to initialize objects, you'd think that would be very handy. BTW, shameless plug, b

I'm not a super experienced hardware guy, altho I do quite a few bits and bobs, and I always found the graphical entry of schematic... silly. As a lifelong software developer, entering schematics with little boxes and lines seems rough

Yep, because many firewalls ALSO block websockets; so comparing it to crowbar for speed isn't terribly fair, as crowbar only uses POST/GETs.

Might be just Patent related; but to be fair to DJI, they DO make the best (and by far) cameras for that volume you can get anywhere -- getting their hands on Hassy with their knowledge of optics is clearly going in the right direction. I j

Well, you CAN do simplified C++. Apple even had their own version of it called 'Embedded C++' (the drivers in OSX are like that) -- basically, remove RTTI, exceptions, templating and a few other bits and you get a C with namespaci

I don't know, if my large, commercial application suddenly starts taking twice the memory, or takes twice the time it used to take to start, can I 'have it'? And if I can 'have' that, where do I stop? That was my pr

I personally use libtalloc [0] for my allocations in C. Small footprint, excellent feature set, and it has heap checks, reference counting and all the gizmos you'd like in an allocation library. It's actually awesome, I highly rec

I love C, I really don't see what the fuss is about about 'replacing' it really. It's a sharp tool, requiring care and attention. I did C++ for about 20 years, and gradually reverted to C, simply because of the footprint

Check my other post: I've recently made a Atmel AVR translator to C and JIT compile it with libtcc. It's actually pretty trivial! https://github.com/buserror/simavr/tree/jit-wip
