yoplait_··on How to Build Muscle
Anecdotically you'll find lots of testimonies (including mine) arguing that it's much easier to control hunger on keto. I don't have food craving since I started and I get to eat as much as I want. So it's a lot easier to not overeat. Scientifically it's well known that eating carbs (especially fast acting carbs like sugar) triggers storage of fat.

> Not necessarily talks by professors, but scientific papers published in respectable journals or on NCBI

well the professor in the talk has published dozens of papers so it's a good way to start. I'm not going to provide you with a literature review sorry :)

yoplait_··on How to Build Muscle
yes I've heard about other people in your case. I probably shouldn't have overstated that point. Do you eat enough fat? It's easy not to eat enough I find.
yoplait_··on How to Build Muscle
Both. For the former you can start with success stories on the keto subreddit. For the latter there is decades of research on the subject. You can start with this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC_qBC1EEvw
yoplait_··on How to Build Muscle
keto is the best way to lose weight, period. You lose weight while not even trying ... it really is the miracle diet, for most people anyway. Gives great mental energy as well. (yeah, sounds like bullshit, but turns out to be true for lots of people)
yoplait_··on TTIP trade deal could be re-launched under a different name, say EU ministers
These deals take years to negotiate. It's just a matter of practicality. Democracy can always say no to deals if it wants to (as is happening here).
yoplait_··on TTIP trade deal could be re-launched under a different name, say EU ministers
Elected representatives could not negotiate the deal themselves because it is way too technical. So the actual negotiators were given a mandate by the elected representatives. Elected representatives then get to decide whether they will vote for the deal. TTIP is dead because it's become clear the deal will not get approval from all representatives, in part because of public disapproval. In conclusion, TTIP _is_ democratic.

yoplait_··on R Passes SAS in Scholarly Use
it's not the search engine's fault, it's the contents. R is associated to xlispstat as the credible alternative. E.g. Jan de Leeuw JStat's paper. Also the author of xlispstat is one main contributor to R.

how about quick and friendly?
yoplait_··on Esperanto: the language that never was
that was a figure of speech dude. If we're talking about languages you ought to spot these
yoplait_··on Esperanto: the language that never was
I was referring to the latter, though the former is bad as well :)
yoplait_··on Esperanto: the language that never was
I only have second-hand accounts from proselytes, and they say esperanto is nowhere as bad as English for Chinese, Japanese and Koreans. Just google around if you want to read from them. English is so difficult to pronounce correctly than my prior is to believe them.
yoplait_··on Esperanto: the language that never was
that's just false. English is the worst language ever from the point of view of phonetics
yoplait_··on Esperanto: the language that never was
they do. They don't just pop out of nowhere from nothing.
yoplait_··on Esperanto: the language that never was
Esperanto is very easy to pronounce even for Chinese

estimating uncertainty. The curve you fit represents what you have in your data. The question is what is out there, in your target population.

> that can mean that large projects can end up being less maintainable in the future because you don't usually have a type checker

That's not true if you seriously unit-test your code base, which you should in both cases.

ok I'll remember it for the next time I chat with you. But come on dude, most people don't care about the distribution I use, knowing that I use Linux (the OS, not the kernel) and not Windows or OSX is what they want to know. All the rest is literature. Really.

I don't know about Android but it's not silly at all to call Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu by a common name. I do it all the time.

Call it GNU or call it Linux. GNU/Linux is just stupid
yoplait_··on My personal burnout – Lessons learned
well watch me
yoplait_··on My personal burnout – Lessons learned
I got into really dark places from overworking. Stopped feeling like myself, stopped feeling my body. I'd get panic attacks, shut down, feel like I'm watching the movie of my life rather than living it as first person. I basically wasn't myself anymore. A simple thought could propel me into that other dimension. I had all kind of weird body effects, couldn't feel limbs, completely lost strength in my back to the point I couldn't stand or sit. It took months to get back to normal.

So is your second sentence inaccurate, insulting, and offensive? yeah

yoplait_··on My personal burnout – Lessons learned
I thought burnout to be caused by stress and exhaustion. Your mind shuts down to protect itself and anything work related triggers heavy anxiety. In that respect burnout is more akin to PTSD than depression.

the difference is that roads are public. You want to take them, you have to obey public safety rules.

Same way alcohol is legal but you shoudn't be drunk in the streets.
