Re:Intermittent fasting more effective than calorie restriction

And the actual title of the study is 'Effect of Time-Restricted Eating on Weight Loss' which describes a concept that is basically the colloquial definition of intermittent fasting.
The popular term 'intermittent fasting' usually describes time restricted eating, with a fasting period usually between 16-20 hours.

I'm pretty passionate about running and I think that there are a few things that you can try: making sure you are stretching after your run, especially calves, legs, and feet. Getting a foam roller can be helpful as well. If it's a specific type of pain, it could be due to footwear or gait so you could also try switching up your shoes perhaps.

There's quite a few reasons why it happens though. Perhaps the feature was available, perhaps there was no documentation or poor documentation. Perhaps this is more complex in some way? We don't really know.

What would help is including a link from all the respective documentation to this comment.

The show Legion had an excellent vignette about this very topic near the end of season 2. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHj2slKBF98 for reference). I thought it was pretty well done, although it doesn't really answer any questions, just raises the topic.

Haven't delved into the scripting just yet.

Agreed. Just made the switch over to Krita from Gimp for some simple workflows. Everything feels much faster across Mac, Windows, and Linux. Also the tools somehow make a bit more sense out of the box.

Indeed! Not everyone has the capability to up and move. I've recently heard that having a good community around you is one of the best things for healthy longevity, it becomes even more difficult to do this.
It also happens to be an issue that I am facing, move for more closer alignment to my ideals and abandon my established community, or stay and try to change where I am.

I definitely tend to agree. So many decisions, not just in product design or strategy, DO happen to take one option above all others. Increasing the overlap and moving all indicators at once is how you get ahead these days. Companies, products and strategies that focus on one thing above all else will probably tend to start not really cutting it when it comes to success.

Definitely agree on 2. [1] Seems to be available in certain forms, but not as concisely as we'd like. However, I always have trouble finding any information on labs and manufacturers that is itself a credible source to me.
Re:MacBooks from 2020 Are Being Sold for Scrap Because of Activation Lock

The scrap part is the worst of this. Nice single use laptops on 3 year turnover cycles? No thanks. Unless Apple is responsible for turning the left overs into usable objects and not diverted to e-waste.
In the article they outline a pretty decent way to overcome this through apple themselves which I'd be much happier with.

Oof! They used to have this for Songs, then they removed the feature, and I lost the major way I used Spotify. I used it to make sure I could listen to music offline while traveling and it was an infuriating few flights before I could download everything again.
Re:Using the Silver Reed SK840 Knitting Machine
on Tuesday September 20, 2022 @11:10AM (#32912771)
A lot of these knitting machines at some point upgraded to disks instead of punch cards, or had the ability to add them later. Some of them can use a data cable to a computer to control them.
There's also this really cool kind of hack called All Yarns Are Beautiful which switches out the knitting machine's computer with an Arduino with a custom hat to drive to the mechanism that controls the needles.

Agreed! I always thinking of driving, specifically roads and fuel in the US. They absorb huge amounts of money, we rarely see the true cost.

There was an item posted here this week with the same exact conversation. It's honestly a bit eye opening with the way UX is going. I am all for sensible defaults, but being able to tweak things here and there should really be an option, and not one seen as a failure by the designers...
