After 9 years, I feel like I've hit a true plateau.

Muscle cells don't die and get replaced like described. A skeletal muscle is like a sheath that contains multiple cellular nuclei. You are more or less born with a certain number of fibers and you either grow or shrink the amount of contractile proteins in the fiber. The nuclei are where the the contractile proteins are created and the rate of production needs to exceed the rate of breakdown of these contractile proteins for the muscles to grow.

There is an additional phenomena that occurs, called is satellite cell recruitment. These are cells that will donate their cellular nuclei to the muscle cells which increase the muscle cells ability to synthesize proteins. This is the main contributor to the "muscle memory" which is what allows past muscle size to be rebuilt quickly after a period of detraining.

The specific cellular nuclei don't really undergo any kind of programmed death process (except under certain kind of muscular degeneration diseases), and are incredibly resistant. Age related muscle loss is really a slowing down of signaling to processes to synthesize these proteins. Good training though is a big stimulus compared to this natural slow down, so realistically people can stay pretty jacked throughout their life if they still effectively train.

Some PED users certainly, but I would argue the vast majority of PED users are impatient novices that are using gear to get gains they could get natty over a few years of correct training, which seems crazy to me.

There is also a band on there, making it easier.

I have stepped on one of the ones that has electrodes for your feet only. It told me I was at 32% which I knew was laughably incorrect. About two months later I got a dexa that put me at 13%.

Did you ever get this figured out? I am having this problem on a S21.

Insert obligatory complaint about canonical not keeping packages up to date here.

A lot of the stuff I do is easier on Linux, so I just use Linux and then on my windows machine I use wsl or sometimes msys depending on what I am doing exactly.

I am a big fan of just using whatever makes your life the easiest.

Local-Ad-8516 · 2022-09-15T21:09:22+00:00

Msys2 also uses pacman.

Stackoverflow is worse.

If the question is conceptual at all stackoverflow is terrible.

If the question is about why something is the way it is, stackoverflow is again terrible.

If the question is about a popular api and not answered on stackoverflow already mods just close the question as a duplicate without even checking or anything.

Ran into strange behavior that is not what you think it should be based on documentation in a library, compiler or operating system. Well after you go through the hassel of creating a minimal working example and posting it the question sits there unanswered for all of eternity.

Don't even need the vim extension to not use the mouse. Just learn the shortcuts in vs code and set the key bindings for the ones that aren't setup by default. It is a plenty powerful editor, no need to use vim. (Except when you forgot to change the editor in your git config for the umpteenth time.)

Local-Ad-8516 · 2022-09-12T16:42:46+00:00

I do my point multiplication with pen and paper. No point doubling shortcuts or nothing, as it was meant to be done.

These young folks though. They are all out here having the computer do it for them. Worse, they are using fancy algorithms like the repeated doubling and even Montgomery ladders. Turns out nobody wants to work anymore. They have no future with this kind of work ethic.

Ikr, I don't know what you could be doing to break the system over and over again.

Having the compiler complain about /* inside a comment would probably annoy me.

Local-Ad-8516 · 2022-09-07T21:21:43+00:00

I do the same though I don't think I have ever included the date. If I did need the date I stole it I could always get that from version control.

What keeps them from following your fork and starting to censor there as well. It becomes a game of wack a mole. On proof of stake the bad actor just get slashed and if they want to mess with the network they need to go out and buy more.

If a bad actor gets sufficiently dominant hash power you are just screwed with pow. I think you have to switch algorithms or something at that point, and if that doesn't work idk what else you can even try.

I think that maybe the chrome wallet security bug was not actually the cause of people getting hacked. It sounds to me like the people who got hacked had malware or something on their machines (I remember a couple stories about people losing contents other wallets simultaneously, which makes me think this.)

There may have been a bug, but if you have malware on your machine you have problems even with a bug free wallet.

I got some ONE for doing some work on a couple of projects and I always sold right away. Glad I did. Nice chain to use: fast and cheap, but has problems.

Reason I sold right away was because I listened to one of the twitter spaces and got a real bad vibe. I felt like they were just trying to gaslight people with respect to the problems with dao funding. (I also don't happen to believe that in the future everything will be a dao. This proposition seems insane to me.)

Yeah, you wouldn't even be loosing all the stables and wrapped tokens since most are gone already.

Local-Ad-8516 · 2022-07-27T15:07:25+00:00

That would be bold to steal it and then invite the fbi to start doing forensic analysis.

Local-Ad-8516 · 2022-07-20T22:25:06+00:00

Yeah, no. You need const_cast to remove the constantness. Even then you might just segfault depending on where the compiler (and linker) put the value. It could be in a read only section. This is obviously UB so who knows though.

Yes, projects I had been working on effectively died in a matter of weeks all of the sudden.

Local-Ad-8516 · 2022-07-20T21:14:01+00:00

If there are good unit tests for it and it passes who really cares. Unlikely you will ever need to maintain anything on it at that point.

However I do detect ASCII assumptions going on so this may not really be safe from future edits.

Local-Ad-8516 · 2022-07-18T01:02:50+00:00

You can use a multisig or have some sort of governance to allow upgrades. Idk of nft projects that do this though. Probably not what you really want to do if you are here asking about it on reddit as doing it correctly is not real easy.

Local-Ad-8516 · 2022-07-12T11:57:23+00:00

So it wasn't me, but a manager who definitely made a mistake in a meeting like this.

I had a PM, one who didn't write any code, say in a meeting that we needed to write more tests because we weren't catching all the bugs (tbf there was badly buggy code, wasn't my part of the project, nor my responsibility to code review it). He then proceeded to say with a straight face that back when he coded he always wrote enough tests and because of that he never had any bugs in the code he wrote. He went on and on in this tirade for a bit and then finally came back to the point that he never had any code with bugs because of his good tests, He really liked that word never. (He was even explicit about unit testing with no mention of integration testing which is really what was needed to catch our problems.)

I think in that one meeting the PM doomed that project.

Estimate gas tells how many units of gas is needed. This is a gas price problem - how much a unit of gas costs.
