I've been around photography for a while. This is sad news but not surprising. Mobile phones have gotten good enough that you don't need a DSLR anymore to take "nice pictures." All the computational photography to create

Scala is my favorite language, even though I don't work with it professionally anymore. And I've seen it all. And yes, bad code in Scala is probably harder to read than bad code in other languages. It can be outright painful. Howe

I think there was a study done with similar levels of calories restriction and the results were the exact same.

That is a good strategy. Unfortunately, ppl with survival rate above 99.99% might live with more vulnerable population. It'll be difficult to figure out how to effectively quarantine the more vulnerable population away from the less-vu

All these complaining is funny. I was building software since the later 1990's. I'm not tired of it. Sure, most of the jobs out there are your standard CRUD stuff. But I still like it. A lot of people complain about not having int

I think there’s some research on Ketogenic diet’s effectiveness on epilepsy. But for general diet/health/weight loss, most of keto’s benefits sound like pseudoscience. That goes for many diet fads, not just keto.

Ketosis exists. You didn’t just lose 20kg of water and glycogen. In the beginning you probably did though. My point is that everything you did is possible with a regular diet. You can lose weight, improve blood numbers, gain muscle/los

Keto “works” (which I assume you mean for weight loss) because it helps people get into a caloric deficit easier. High fat and moderate protein is highly satiating and helps people to eat fewer calories without needing to track calories clo

I was a fashion photographer. I lived in a small market. To take the "next step" I would've needed to move to NYC or another big market. Also, I was getting paid a lot in my day-job to make that type of sacrifice. And it wasn

Maybe it depends on the industry? I've dabbled part-time, almost went full-time. Photographers were intrigued I used a Fuji, but they didn't care beyond that. Clients didn't care either as long as you delivered results. And y

It was a matter of time. They were focused on m4/3, which was a good system. But phone technology evolved quickly. Most pros or prosumers go for the higher-end APSC or Full Frame lineups. In my experience, they don't take the m4&#

I haven't played with ZIO that much. I do like it though. It seems to make your Scala code much more functional. I'm 100% TypeScript now and miss Scala. I miss using monads. But since Typescript doesn't have for comprehension

We were actually considering Deno because of its TypeScript support. We have a sizeable TypeScript codebase written for Node. This will probably make us more likely to stay in Node. EDIT: I didn't read the article thoroughly. It looks

I've developed with JS, PHP, and Ruby for about 5 years. Then I switch to statically type languages for the next 5 years (Scala then to Typescript). If I had to choose, I would choose static typing. For small projects, dynamically type

That's appeal to popularity. At least lisp is strongly typed. JS happened to be created first, and the world was stuck with it as Web grew and no other alternatives came out.

Yes. Sometimes I can't believe how smart I was back then and wondered what happened to me.

I think it's true. Around 2010 is when CS got hot again. A few years ago, we interviewed some new graduates. I couldn't believe how smart they were. They seemed a lot smarter than I was when I graduated. Heck, they seemed smarter

I too graduated with a CS degree from a highly ranked technical University. It was probably the worst time for recent graduate with a CS degree. You hear news of all jobs going to India. Nobody in the US was hiring developers. In fact, they

Most people who fast for more than 36 hours recommend electrolyte supplements. Now they even have "snake juice" recipes. If fasting takes off, I bet there will be commercial snake juice products for long term fasters.

I used to be 100% remote (about a year). I had a work computer and a personal computer. Once I shutdown my work computer, I'm done with work. Now it's time for personal life. I also don't try to install any work related stuff

I think that's why it's important to have regular code reviews or pull requests. At least, have someone look what you wrote. If they can't understand why you wrote a certain code block or do what it does, then either re-write

It's up to you. All these apps have few several free sessions you can try out. Heck, download all the meditation apps and try all their free sessions. Those are probably enough to help you get started. I didn't mind paying for sub

I've been using Headspace and the 10% Happier apps for about a year (I started with Headspace, canceled subscription, and tried 10% later). I think they're very helpful. They're especially helpful for beginners who want to tr

The concept of meditation is simple. But you might need guidance on how to get over roadblocks or need new insights that might help your meditation practice. These apps are helpful for that.

Have you tried meditation? It's hard. Try sitting for 15+ minutes, not moving, and concentrate on one thing (like your breath) without getting distracted. Maybe it's easy for you. There are many distractions that can happen, not n

It'll probably take place somewhere in the US and white wash it with white actors. Maybe they'll make one of the kids (a girl) Asian to give a little nod to the original story.

Gaining weight is simple, it's the other way around. You need to eat more calories than you burn. So just like with losing weight, track everything with a scale and a food log (like myfitnesspal). See how many calories you need to star

by meowzero 8y ago
I think people who try to lose weight be serious about CICO. They do need to get a food scale and log everything they eat. It at least opens their eyes on how much they are eating and how quickly little snacks and calories can add up.
