   I've enjoyed this drink for many years without getting tired of it. It's not for every meal of the day but it can replace a meal in a pinch. I've never tried Soylent but I'm sure anything could get tiring if overused. By

   We were talking about saving time, not dieting. Actually this type of shake with some added protein powder is ideal for weight gain during strength training. Typically I couldn't finish such a big serving without some exercise to build

   I have a simpler alternative: * 1 liter milk * 3 large bananas * 1 spoonful peanut butter * 1 scoop of cacao powder Mix it all in a blender and enjoy.

   50 years of progress indeed. In addition, the biological sciences have almost completely traced a series of natural occurrences which lead from inanimate molecules to elementary living viruses. This statement reflects a certain naiveté ab

   I wonder if any of these tile sets could work in a Tetris-like game.

   In my experience the symptoms start just a few hours after a missed daily dose. That was on one cup a day from a Moka pot. I've since cut back to 2-3 times a week. If I regularly skip days it doesn't seem to be as habit forming.

   Anecdotally, I've found most people who don't experience withdrawal never cease consuming coffee long enough. People who drank enormous amounts daily and suddenly quit tend to experience severe withdrawal symptoms.

   Yes, according to the article.

   The video and research highlights imply that 2 or more cups a day is more beneficial but personally I feel the dependency created by such large amounts of caffeine would outweigh the benefits. Even at one cup a day an interruption such as t

    I can tell from experience because some HDR photos taken on my Nexus 4 without being steady for long enough show artifacts of multiple exposures.

    Does the conclusion boil down to "use functional programming"? The author doesn't specify the way data or functions are encapsulated in the final figure. But my gut reaction is that this describes FP better than OO or any oth

    "tar xvzf" is already a part of my muscle memory. Occasionally I need to change the "z" to a "j" for bzip2 archives. And the "x" becomes a "c" if I'm Creating an archive rather than eXt

    Is there a way to share passwords with passbox? pass lets you encrypt different files with different keys so it could potentially be used within an organization with varying levels of permission. Another advantage is that each password is j

    I was trying to uninstall something and I hit the Super key and started typing "programs" and up came some Metro app that showed a few apps sorted by size. It didn't show all installed programs. For that I had to find the old

    Don't you have to deal with Metro when the control panel applet or app you need is Metro-style? I have to see that screen when I hit the Super key to search for an application by name.

    I don't think some modern engineers would be successful back then because today many rely on the abundance of online resources, code schools, and such. I was only 2 at that time but when I learned programming on an Apple II+ a few year

    I was working at a treadmill workstation for 8 hours a day coding. Physically it felt great but eventually the number of hours concentrating on code wore me down. Now I work two hours a day on code and spend the rest of the day doing other

    The most serious is ignoring the effects of sitting all day. Employers tout their big monitors and new laptops but I've never seen one advertise treadmill workstations. Another rationalization is that longer work hours are somehow mutu

    WeChat is so much better than other messaging platforms that I'm willing to get on it in spite of privacy concerns. I have never noticed an ad and I'm in complete control over what messages I receive. It just feels so much better

    I have fiber optic in China rated at 20mbs but it's really spotty. Downloads can be really fast but latency can be terrible. I realize that browsing foreign sites is sharing bandwidth with a pool the size of China but sometimes even do

    Is there an append function? Otherwise it seems like it will have to send the entire file for each incremental write.

    Is there a way to use a file system-backed storage with this? For example, I would love to create a web frontend for ledger [1]. Ledger only reads text files but for a frontend to be useful it would need to write entries to files. 1. http:

    I don't remember what the exact problems were, but when I tried OSX I found the only way to change some basic keyboard and mouse behaviors was to purchase apps that cost $20-$30 each. I remember not liking the inverted scroll and wanti

    What do inexperienced users do in such a case? Usually they find a more advanced user to help. Proprietary software stays in business because it works most of the time for the average use cases. But when it fails it doesn't matter much

    I don't find this to be true in practice. Mac problems turn out to be extremely difficult if not impossible to solve. Your main recourse, if you don't live near Apple "Geniuses", is the support forums where the signal to

    I thought the same way until people came to me with virus-ridden Windows computers and I helped install Linux for them. They never had a problem and they never came back to me for help. They even thanked me for introducing them to Linux. Th
