    I guess that's cool if you mostly do web stuff. But there are tons of developers that use Python/C++ for embedded systems, OS, data science and other things that could make the sam…

    I suppose if you are familiar with Tkinter and are happy with how it looks have at it! But there are a ton of things that can be leveraged from Python and Qt separately going this …

    You do have a point, traffic does seem to be much more reasonable to be in and interact with the faster you go. If you can average >15mph and follow the rules of the road, most peo…

    You can even get a professional level Wahoo Kicker for $1200 (no tire wear), have money for a mid-range bike and still save a ton of money month to month with Zwift over Peloton's …

    Yes, it is a hard thing for many people, I don't question that by any means. But it's not technically hard, it's mentally and instinctually hard. We have known how to eat healthy f…

    CICO is more like Python: print 'hello world!'. It's crazy simple and there is a ton going on beneath the hood, but nobody needs to go that deep to get the job done. If you find so…

    If you ask the Keto people, they will say you can. But the point being made is to eat healthy real food. Sure you can be dumb about it, but it's a good starting place. Yes, the hum…

    CICO IS all that matters at the end of the day. Yes, some people may be hungry, some may have a faster metabolism, some may do it better with less carbs, some with less fat, some p…

    Why does that 'sound' unhealthy? If you want to actually lose weight and eat healthy you need to change your lifestyle, not do a diet here or there for a week or 2. The more you ex…

    1358 cals/day would be a 642 cal deficit a day with a 2000 calorie expenditure. That's a loss of about -4500 calories/week or around 1.28 pounds (~3500 cal/lb). A typically suggest…

    True, but you don't have the same expenses. Hopefully less direct human labor hours, able to run 24x7 at times when human costs could be higher, way less real estate and more viabl…

    I have been using protopage.com, which is basically what iGoogle was back in the day. I just drop in the RSS feeds for the top posts from subs I want to check out and have it limit…

    Didn't see any mention of the Volvo Care thing, but leasing any car is typically a bad idea, Volvo is just packing more crap in for extra lazy people that like paying even more. I …

    Are you saying this model is gonna take over real estate in a new way and that we will lose our biggest potential source of equity? Or that we have so much equity to bank on from o…

    I really like this concept for college tuition or for funding people who haven't already gotten a degree. However if just focusing on soon-to-be/recent graduates, I don't get why a…
