If you look at Rhonda Patrick's work, she does the reverse: time restricted eating. It's the same thing, you give yourself 8-9 hour time window to eat (instead of having a 16 hour fasting window). I think she recommends skipping d

No, it's a system that takes 1 input (anyval0) and outputs either an error OR anyval1. If any of the functions errors, it rides the "error" track back up and returns the first error that it encounters. This is fail fast metho

I've been using MBP 2017 since it came out. It's fine. This is just another list of complaints that we heard since it came out. The Magsafe was nice, but it's not a deal breaker. I actually like the option of plugging in my p

I'm not sure about that. Smart phones still can't match APSC sized sensors in low light (and probably not even M43 either). They also can't change lenses if you need a different perspective. Also, for studio work, they need a

True, but they're not "pro" enough. I do need the dual memory cards, the vertical grip, the speed, etc. I also use the viewfinder on sunny days because the screen is tough to see in the sun. But shooting from the hip using th

X-T2 is still a mirrorless camera. I think you meant that for rangefinder-inspired cameras like the X-E2, the viewfinder is on the side. Also, even with that design, your nose can still smash into the screen if you're left eye dominant

The Weather Channel's core weather services such as their weather API, their alerting services (for your phones), and most of their other services are all written in Scala.

I have done a lot of Ruby work and a lot more JavaScript work (not one of the languages you mentioned, but I consider it a similar language to ruby/python). I find Scala to be a lot more enjoyable to use compared to them. It's pro

What are scala people's opinion of nested functions? Is it good practice to use them? I never liked them because it clutters up the functions and makes them bigger. I like have short functions. And looking for them in the code isn&#x27

I've been writing and maintaining scala code for about 4-5 years, and I found reading other people's code in our team wasn't that bad. Then again, we do code reviews and such to make sure the code is readable. Reading librar

They're late to the game. I use Facebook, Google+, and Dropbox to share and view photos. Right now, Flickr doesn't give me any reason why I should switch. Facebook is already good because everyone uses Facebook. It's a convenient way to tag

It wasn't Haskell but another functional programming language (scala). I got my major "ah ha" moment when I did a code review with another experienced functional programmer. It showed to me that functional programming is a different paradig

You're probably not gaming yelp correctly. You can't ask your customers to review you because they'll be filtered since they'll only have one review. You need to get more Yelpers to your business. If they're elite, that's even better. You o

I doubt they would pay people to review, unless it's a well kept secret. What they do have are Community Managers. They are located in each major city prompting Yelp, providing support for the yelpers in that city and so on. They probably s

Well they seem to be sacrificing ad space for user experience. They only have 1 ad on each page, unlike other sites that have multiple.

They don't get paid. I've been Elite for about 3 years now. But they do get invited to Elite only parties which they get to sample free food and drinks.

How many are actual users? About 50% of my friends in Google+ have no info, posts, pictures, etc., up. They're on Google+ because they got an invite and that's it. What's the use of having that many users if half of them don't use it?

We use Scala at our company too (The Weather Channel) and as long as you get a competent developer and a good mentor, they can write decent Scala code quick.

I think his post is a bit extreme. It depends on a lot of factors on whether to buy a house or not. I think most of his reasons aren't really valid for not owning a home. I'll make some comments on his financial arguments: A) If you pay off

I've been doing my scala stuff using sbt and vim. So far, it's working out quite nicely. I haven't played with sbt plugins for various IDEs (I'm too used to vim), I would assume it should still work.

Silicon Valley engineers probably feel underpaid because of the high standard of living of that area. If they made $125k in Atlanta, for instance, they would be living very comfortably. I'm still surprised at the number of Tech startups sti

This article does make Google's interview process more bearable. I always found the Google interview "horror stories" were a deterrent. Perhaps that is a good thing for Google since it already filters out certain people. But I always avoide

He is improving in that area. But I think he still has some of the negative stigma left over from his Web site when he said all Atlanta pizza places suck (those comments were written before he even thought about opening a restaurant). That

Finally I see Jeff's site on Hacker news. His pizzas are great, I've been to several of his pizza parties in Atlanta before he opened his restaurant. Too bad he's only known for his pizza (and his rubix cube). He is also a very good hacker
