True, but sugar can be converted to fat in the body. If you eat too much sugar before/during a ride, the extra sugar becomes fat.

I’m also active and fat. And to me being active is more important than losing weight; I’d rather continue to do those long 2000kcal bike rides on weekends than having a healthier BMI. I’ve heard stories of my own friends bonking during a ri

I know that but it’s not relevant to the discussion. A nested function in C (or rather GCC-flavored C) that doesn’t close over anything doesn’t need a trampoline anyways.

C++ solves this problem by simply not allowing a nested function (lambda) to be converted to a function pointer, and thereby avoids this problem of trampolines and executable stack altogether. I think that’s a better design.

The traditional way of doing this in C is simply static functions. Every .c file has exactly one non-static function and all the other helper functions are static.

Pure hyperbole. I can’t even browse Facebook or Instagram anonymously for 15 seconds; I get a hard login popup that would require me to be identified in order to continue. Same with X. I’m also starting to see this with Reddit. Google is th

That’s not a problem solvable by cryptography. Your ISP can’t read your traffic, but can cut off your traffic. You can use end-to-end encryption to encrypt your files to upload to Google Drive, but Google can choose to delete your files.

There are easier ways to run it. OP seemed to enjoy tinkering and customizing the command to run it exactly the way they want. When I don’t want to tinker Unsloth Studio is probably closest to pick a model and voila.

For cheap cables like USB-A to USB-C, I just throw away all cables that do not support data transfer. I don’t need the mental overhead of categorizing these cables. So any USB-A to USB-C cable in my cable drawer would work in this scenario.

This kind of attitude is really disrespectful of decades of progress in cryptography. Without even considering homomorphic encryption, classic encryption is specifically designed to make intermediate nodes such as ISP dumb pipes that do not

This is another thing Apple does right. Pages allows you to turn off the inline text and use only absolutely positioned non-floating text boxes. In this mode It’s more similar to desktop publishing tools than word processing tools.

When you add sufficient rules to spreadsheets to make them more well-behaved, they just become UIs for SQL tables stored in a SQL database. Instead of autofilling formulas they just become generated columns. Pivot tables are views or materi

The difference is that the Python one-liner calculates the entire thing whereas in Excel a complicated formula only calculates one cell, and may be different from cell to cell (unless you use array formulas in Excel, which are rare).

Numbers is fine. Its main innovation is creating multiple tables in a single visible sheet, so that people who want to look at two logically separate things side-by-side have a nice experience and adding a row in one table won’t affect the

Yeah. People usually forget that Word also supports tables. In my experience people think, I need tables therefore it’s Excel.

If you care about the rendered quality, you should never use the browser itself to downscale images. Browsers don’t consistently use the state-of-the-art algorithm for downscaling, which is Lanczos 3-lobe. This is independent of partial IDC

What are some solutions to avoid database corruption being single points of failure? I can’t think of any off the top of my head. I don’t think people typically consider database corruption to be a kind of failure common enough to design fo

The point of a train commute isn’t to get more work done (that would be working extra hours for your employer). Instead it’s time for yourself to relax, away from work, family responsibilities, and all that. Find a good book, listen to some

It’s not time lost to commuting. For some people, without the structure of a workday imposed by commuting, they devolve into doing other time-wasting activities. In fact the author said without this commute they would “be on my phone/o

If noise is the concern then regulate noise. Don’t restrict data centers. If someone’s house has a dog that barks continuously, you aren’t going to say building houses here are restricted. Instead you restrict barking dogs, which is what ci
