You didn't answer my question. When it comes to weight loss, how much does it matter? Is it on the order of 100 calories a day? 300? 500? It may be complex, but if you're only changing the calories burned by 100 calories a day, th

I'd say it's an incredibly strong claim that they aren't negligible. Most research I'm finding says that your BMR may drop by like 10% with a classic calorie restricted diet (which itself accounts for about 75% of tota

No one is drinking a cup of olive oil daily (hopefully), so why use that as an example? What level of optimization are you getting by looking at macro nutrients and digestive absorption rates? More than 100 calories per day? I don't th

BMR might drop around 10% when doing traditional calorie restricting dieting. Some diets try to prevent that the best they can (keto, for example). If a specific diet was able to mitigate the drop in BMR (unlikely to completely mitigate if

I object. Avoiding pasta is suffering :) Calorie counting or IF works better for me (I've done both). Let's me eat anything I want, just less of it.

by yupper32 5y ago
Once again, the only diets that work, work because you take in fewer calories than you burn. Calorie counting restricts calories (obviously). Fasting restricts calories (and hopefully enough to lose weight). Keto often ends up lowering calo

Of course, some stuff you can't avoid, especially code leaking. Luckily code isn't usually that interesting or useful to external parties which is the only reason it isn't leaked more. For the rest of the stuff, there's

I disagree. Locking down and logging access to raw data like password hashes or payout information to only those who absolutely need it doesn't cause much annoyance and is very useful. It protects the company against rogue employees (n

I think you're close to understanding why modern societies that aren't capitalistic always end up failing. Capitalism (with legal guardrails and social policies) works because it accepts that you can't fully stop greed.

I don't think it's cocky or 20/20 hindsight. Companies I've worked for specifically set up IRC in part because "our entire network is down, worldwide" can happen and you need a way to communicate.

The entire purpose of an IRC backup is in case shit hits the fan. That means having it run on a completely separate stack. What use is it if it runs on the same stack as what you might be trying to fix?
