I came to this exact conclusion a long time ago, except using intermittent fasting (i.e. “stop eating so much”):

    1. Use a fad diet (e.g. potato) to get down to 80 kg.

    2. Weigh yourself every morning

    3. If your average weight over a week ever exceeds 81 kg, spend the next week on the potato diet.

    4. Repeat forever.

Have some children.

Loved that book! I highly recommend it.

That said, nothing will prepare you for the reality. It’s like learning to swim in a lap pool, then getting dropped into the ocean in the middle of a storm.

Just learn as much as you can, talk to as many people as you can, and prepare yourself for the fact that you will not be prepared.

All good! Other than that, there’s nothing like a child saying “I love you too.” So, it’s all worth it once you get to it.

Congrats!

Thanks for the great summary. I’ve been renting an office from them for most of the year and all of what you’ve said rings true.

I wouldn't feel bad...those (phoneme, plosive, fricative, spirant, and affricate) are specialized vocabulary words from a specific domain (linguistics). I only know them because I have an interest in the topic. Other than phoneme, they describe how words are pronounced and/or formed in the mouth.

Wouldn’t that qualify as more of a technology than a product?

The current flows southward (from Alaska) on the west coast. Goes northward along the east coast.

Can you share the link to that study please?

Very nice! Bought one immediately (not even for an AirBnB listing, btw).

The tldr food list:

* high sodium (66 508 deaths in 2012; 9.5% of all cardiometabolic deaths)

* low nuts/seeds (59 374; 8.5%)

* high processed meats (57 766; 8.2%)

* low seafood omega-3 fats (54 626; 7.8%)

* low vegetables (53 410; 7.6%)

* low fruits (52 547; 7.5%)

* high sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) (51 694; 7.4%)

You state facts, here are some additional ones from the article:

* “people who simply dieted experienced greater weight loss than those who combined diet and exercise.”

* “You would have to walk for more than 45 minutes to burn off the 300 calories from eating just three cookies.”

* “researchers concluded, “active, ‘traditional’ lifestyles may not protect against obesity if diets change to promote increased caloric consumption.”

* “It’s calorie intake that is really fueling the obesity epidemic.”

Personally, the most weight I’ve ever lost was over a six month period of zero exercise, but with a restricted diet. (Consequences of a work assignment out of town.)

My most physically active periods (3-4 hours daily in the ocean) have been accompanied by no weight loss, sometimes even weight gain.

Which app do you use, may I ask?

The article didn’t mention at all how the participants were asked to express their level of satisfaction, so you’re just tearing down a straw man.

Ah, cool. Thank you. I actually saw that at the event. Excellent demo.

What's the title? (The index[1] is currently hard to search by session number.)

Of all the criticisms of the Windows platform I recall, I don't remember anyone complaining it was "closed system".

In fact, the opposite problem made it a haven for malware and viruses.

And since you already have a bachelor's in something else (I assume), it probably won't take you four years to finish the CS degree anyway.

I can name a few former Yahoo CEOs who would beg to differ.

Headline: "Apple Avoided Billions in Taxes"

Fact: "Investigators have not accused Apple of breaking any laws, and the company is hardly the only American multinational to face scrutiny for using complex corporate structures and tax havens to sidestep taxes."

NY Times going for another Pulitzer.

Just took it earlier this year. It was informative and I enjoyed the class.

Don’t be embarrased. Premature pontification is a common problem, with a high incidence on the hn reply threads.

You make a point about general computer literacy, but it misses the point of the article.

OP is specifically addressing the fact that employers are trying to increase the supply of actual programmers by encouraging more people to learn to program, not just learn the difference between on or off states.

It’s a non-altruistic push to increase the supply of something that is in high demand.
