If you want to lose fat, healthy eating is king. If you want to increase muscle mass (but also to maintain it), some exercise is necessary.

I started working out at home. I really like the exercises from Caroline Girvan, especially the Iron Series ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhu1QCKrfgPWmStsg7imo... ) I've done this series 4 times and I can say that I see results (including feeling better). It was hard in the beginning but now I'm (mostly) looking forward on doing the exercises.

I use a mat, a (round) resistance band, a (small) yoga block, and some weights: two dumbbells of 5/10/15/20kgs each (we now also have other weights, like 3/8kgs). It took me some time to use the 20kgs weights. A chair/sofa/bed I'm surely you can already find at home.

Including the warm-up (do it!) you'll need a little more than 30 minutes, but not a lot more.

Yes. You download a zip archive. Unpack from 121MB to 263MB, and start the exe. (assuming you're using Windows)

I guess he can't get a straight answer either. I would have loved to see a thoughtful reply.

Their answer:

  Dear <user>,

  Thank you for contacting FogBugz Support. I understand that you have received a billing notice and do not want to be charged. You may be wondering why you have received this communication and wish to have your account deleted.

  In the first place, please be rest assured that you will not be charged unless you have added a valid payment method to your account. The notification you have received is due to the recent changes to the FogBugz Base Subscription Model. Please accept our apologies for any misunderstanding this may have caused.

  Additionally, be aware that your subscription will be automatically canceled and scheduled for deletion 30 days after the current billing period unless you add a valid payment method.

  Finally, please be aware that trial accounts that were not active for a period of 9 months are automatically disabled, and will result in an Error 500 if you try to access the URL. These customers may have still received a notification despite not having an active account or a configured payment method.

  Since there is no further action required from our end at this time, we will be marking this ticket as solved. That said, if still you have any other questions or concerns with which we may assist, please let us know, and we will be happy to help as required.

  Thank you.

  Best regards,

I had a hard time logging in to get in contact with them. My fogbugz link (for which I should pay) returned 500 Internal Server Error, logging in Firefox didn't work, in Chrome it said that the password in invalid, and I didn't get a reset e-mail (tried twice), I've logged with Google credentials but I got a "This page doesn't exist" on a central-supportdesk.zendesk.com page.

After reading some comments from the history of the other user, I'm asking myself if HN supports shadow banning.

What's stopping you in improving the situation? Time pressure or unwilling colleagues?

I've worked on good (enough) code: good code coverage in tests, relatively fast tests, easy setup to develop (integrated DB, mail server, LDAP server), consistent formatting, no useless comments, good naming, code organization that was logical, even if it required some time to get accustomed to it, some good documentation as READMEs.

Not everything was perfect, but it was much better than the code changed by future generations which tried to mess it up with almost every commit, in the name of "it's good enough", "consistent style is not needed as I can still read the code", "what tests?", "we can refactor later"...

If everybody is 0.5x, everybody is 1x.

Can a 1x engineer design a simple web page?

Like the terms "fast" and "secure" in "Google Chrome - Download the Fast, Secure Browser from Google".

I've tried some, but I've finally given the Ikea garlic press a try and I'm happy with it. Easy to clean, robust.

Looks nice and helpful.

The next step is allaboutgermany.something, where you can have a template and change just some details regarding the city or land.

Be employed at two jobs, do what you can to prolong getting fired, put as less energy as you can into your jobs, let your team colleagues do all the work.

Where can I get some more colleagues like that?

Probably the same reason as at the beginning of January: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25684838

I have not idea about VAT (except paying for it), but as I've understood from a previously posted link this is not valid anymore starting July 2021.

https://www.avalara.com/vatlive/en/vat-news/eu-2021-one-stop...

> At the heart of the 2021 e-commerce EU VAT reboot is the introduction of the One-Stop-Shop (‘OSS’) single EU VAT return and the withdrawal of the Distance Selling thresholds. [...] Non-EU sellers may also apply to use the OSS regime, and just need to nominate any single EU state to register and file in.

But he should get a part of the upvote money.

A link to https://jpeg.rocks/ was posted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25712301

This is based on https://github.com/mozilla/mozjpeg, which is a patched version of https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo

Is there an easy way to check if everything is set up properly and also to get tips on what needs to be changed?

Tavis, it would be great to see a screencast from you using gdb.

I find it strange to send someone an email and address it to "me". Autocompletion may also help when typing steve instead of "thereal".

The difference is one-time payment versus price per year.

> I personally prefer saving time and effort

I guess it depends where you live and how much your time costs (and if you have any time to spare).
