He was drinking lots of protein shakes... It wasn't that he was maxing out at 1500, it is that he didn't seem to want much more than that. With the amount of protein shakes and other things he was eating, anyone else would have ga

While having strong self control is of course important, there are differences between individuals that you're not considering. Many of the people who give this self-control argument have never had theirs tested - it is hard to not eat

I'm not sure about the magic number here, but as a user, I do know that I appreciate hearing from the company. Years ago I signed up for Todoist and I was so impressed by the emails and communication that I got (on top of it being a fa

Evidence? Windows has continuously made improvements in security and there has been a lot of emphasis there in the last ~10 years. If you have some reasoning, I want to see it, because I just can't find any studies/blogs/anyt

It is marked special. You have to go out of your way to even see it, and Windows Explorer complains and gives you a stern warning when you do.

Its not just that. I recently found out after years of using multilevel virtualization (e.g. Hyper-V on Windows in parallels) that an update removed the feature and I'd have to subscribe to the pro version to get it back. I used to lik

Its a play on the 'The Spy Who ___ Me' title meme. I thought it was very fun and did a good job communicating how mundane the lives of the spies really were, which appeared to be a thesis or at least supporting point of the articl

Any evidence here? NT does a lot of things right. I also know that I do not look forward to a world with only one dominant desktop/server OS kernel. We need competition here and Microsoft adopting Linux would ruin that.

The big advantage to Defender is that it will never turn off, never show you an ad, and never ask for payment. Users are defended without needing to know it. Conditioning users to expect popups demanding payment is unconscionable.

This gives me a new appreciation for the panic bars ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_bar ) I've been seeing my entire life. I only recently discovered (thanks to a well-hidden tag on one) that they are fire s

I'm a big fan of the 'look twice, save a life concept' but motorcyclists can be more adequately described as suicidal than the typical driver can be described homicidal. I've been in a few situations where I had to work

Scheduling a recurring meeting of busy people (think college students with busy schedules) across continents, cultures and countries is hard enough without timezones and arbitrary changes in daylight savings time. For example, Dubai doesn&#

The woman should know those risks - if she follows through with an unwanted pregnancy despite those risks, the burden is 100% on her. If Elon Musk gave me a free ride on a rocket ship, I know the risks and I can refuse - I don't have t

You can get saddled with the cost of raising an unwanted child for 18 years. I don't understand why women would want to keep a child on such an illegitimate basis (without the father's consent) but it does/can happen and is h

Active hours is the 'only reboot when plugged in at night' concept for Windows. It is either on by default or Windows prompts you to turn it off if you delay an update. I don't know about other people, but the only time I upd

Load up Office '97 on a computer today and compare it to Google docs - even 20 years ago Office was more fully featured than their most viable competitor is today (real time collaboration excluded). Then think about all the good work t

Also, second comment: I would be pissed if someone leakes my emails to the public. I don't care who you are, that is such an invasion of privacy that it does feel cringey reading the emails even though they are now public domain. I was

This definitely highlights the importance of networking. I used to hate the concept that it's all about "who you know", but at some point I accepted it - it is way too common a trope to just be a toxic symptom of one particul

It might be possible for aligned individuals to conspire, but it's unlikely. When the community is sufficiently engaged, either you have differing political views and thus don't have to worry about conspiracy, or everyone has the

In 5 minutes you can configure your word document to look just like something LaTeX would output. It is interesting that learning LaTeX is a completely reasonable thing to spend time on but learning the basics of styles (surprisingly simila

If you take a close look at windows, you'll see that WSL is already doing a pretty good job of giving you that UNIX environment (really Linux) on windows. Things like proper apt-get and not having to deal with Homebrew are nice. It is

Don't forget though that these apps need to support split screen view and other things. When you get down to it, at the more extreme ratios, split screen is just like a really, really tall phone, and developers are used to dealing with

Its interesting to note that there is an inversion here. You'd think that for one's own enjoyment, the new and shiny would be the natural choice, while dependable and stable long-term would be reserved for people who need dependab
