The great thing about let and const, for me, is that it gives you crucial information about variables without having to look further down. const should be the default, and if you'r…

Obesity has nothing to do with what you eat but with how much of it you eat.

I've experimented quite a bit with how I eat, and gone through extended periods of fasting. To me, the "real" hunger, the debilitating one, only lasts so long. It feels like once y…

You'd probably be surprised how much time I've spent learning about those subjects, from many different sources. I'm an engineer. I want to understand stuff. Obesity is a perspecti…

I don't think that's how hunger works. Do you think hunger is triggered by an absolute number? Isn't hunger the sensation you feel when your body starts dipping into your fat reser…

That doesn't explain it though, as how much you weight and how happy you are with it should influence how you eat. Obviously a kid and an adult, a sedentary female and an internati…

Interesting, so I guess it's an education problem? I guess just like real-talk sex-ed went against the interest of big-church, teaching some basics when it comes to nutrition would…

I'm just wondering why there seems to be more empathy towards people with eating habits problems, than when it comes to other addicts. Maybe because they cause less damage to other…

That doesn't explain how someone can just let it happen to the point of suffering of it every day without taking simple measures to reverse it. Most of the time the difference betw…

I wonder why, when we talk about obesity, there is this tendency to use language that removes responsibility from the person, or at least move it from their mind to their "body", a…

I think the problem with making this change to more generic networked protocols is several aspects become a lot trickier then you can't impose limitations on the filesystem. The bi…

For your specific example, probably because the implementation is different. The most notable difference is that arrow functions do not set the "arguments" variable, but there are …

Nitpicking but in SC2, or any video games, actions aren't analog. A unit's position is a function of 3 _probably_ 32bits numbers, giving 2^96 discrete positions. You can get that n…

> The top ten sites are significantly lighter than the rest (worth noting if you want to be a top website) Isn't that that the top websites have a lot more ressources available to …

You were right! I barely use it on battery so I never investigated. I installed tlp and system went down to 5.5W idle with normal programs open. On fresh boot as low as 4.9W. Turni…

Anecdotal, but I've been running Ubuntu 15.10 for a few months on a Dell XPS 15 (9550), and with kernel 4.4 everything works flawlessly. When idling, power consumption is 8W, and p…
