BitAstronaut

My insight might be useless as I’m still a college student, and don’t know the first thing about this industry, but this sounds like a red flag that I’d be running from rather than toward.

Wonderful read. Thanks for sharing.

> The program is 4 months, and costs 799 (200 dollars each month). This is equivalent to 2 sessions with a personal trainer a month.

That is absolutely wild.

When I was command fitness leader in the Navy we had a lot of people who needed to lose weight to pass their PRT. I had a very simple process that essentially boiled down to spending the first week measuring your food intake — ignore any form of workout at this point. Then after you get an idea for what you are putting in your body, clean it up and reduce the calories. Incorporate interval training.. it can be anything... rock climbing, spin bike, standing up and sitting down at your desk, etc. Whatever.

The reason the interval training can be so vague is 1.) most of these people never worked out and specific routines are essentially irrelevant when someone behinds their fitness journey (as long as its done safely) and 2.) Abs are made in the kitchen.

Understand your diet, then make incremental changes to dial it in.

You don't need to be worrying about 5/5/2, PPL, the WOD, etc. Just get your food right and you for sure don't need to spend $200 a month on it. I get that these have their place, I promise. I spent most of my adult life lifting.

The fitness industry is so set on "this is the program you should be on", "this is the diet you need to be following", etc.

If you are wanting to lose some weight make one simple step that cost the price of a notebook and pen (or your phone) to start. Spend a week just logging everything in your body. At the end of the week, total it up. Search for healthier alternatives (don't nuke it.. if there are a bazillion alternatives just pick one), and work on burning more calories than you are putting in.

One of greatest mistakes I see people make is over complicating everything then burning themselves out. Fitness is about changing habits.

Sorry for the rant.

Just started reading this book as I work through some undergrad research and thought I’d share as I’ve loved it so far.

What a stunning photo!

Terrible headline for what is otherwise a very interesting article.

Not really what you were asking but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

On an iPhone, Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filter > Select Color Tint > Select Deep Red > Intensity 100% & Hue 100%.

Go back to Accessibility and select Accessibility Shortcut > Select Color Filters.

When I'm reading in bed, I triple press the right button and it turns my red filter on. I've noticed a significant decrease in eye strain and I find it doesn't keep me up at night.

I know that is counter to this post, but it works for me so might be worth a try.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a better use case for the sarcasm slash \s than with this comment.

I'm pretty sure I saw reports that internet speed tests were going down as well from people checking their connections. I can't confirm it but if it's true, it's pretty interesting the chain reaction that occurred.

> and whatever happens becomes a lesson learned that the Navy trains on in the future.

Former enlisted here. Unfortunately death by power point doesn't solve the problem of overworked sailors.

My partner and I traveled to just under 20 countries between 2012 and 2015. Croatia will forever be the place I recommended the most.

I vote they hire user BitAstronaut when he finishes his degree in a few months. Seems like a pretty cool person.

I'll make an appointment with advising ASAP.

According to the actual study referenced:

> 65.5% of employees were at least somewhat willing to receive compensation in cryptocurrencies.

> Nearly half of the employees we spoke to had received at least one payment in the form of cryptocurrency.

I’m blown away - that’s it!

Wow! That’s exactly what it was.

I don't remember exactly when, but maybe around 2007, my cousin sent me a video where a man was essentially interacting with a tablet that was sitting on a table. It had an assistant that was helping him with everyone - he was putting together a presentation about a forest (I believe), I think he asked it the weather, set up meetings, etc.

It was an amazing thing to watch unfold.

To this day, I can't for the life of me find that video and really wish I could.

As I was reading through that paper, it reminded me of it.

Maybe they are pushing all of their resources into figuring out why my Google Ads account was suspended for “selling counterfeit products.” Probably why I haven’t received a response to my appeal.

This seems like an advertisement for a specific row machine that uses someone else’s article to sell it with a referral link.

> “For decades, our customers have enjoyed the ‘thrill-of-the-hunt’ for value at one dollar - and we remain committed to that core proposition - but many are telling us that they also want a broader product assortment when they come to shop,”

I have never been inside of one, but is it not always the same products? This makes it appear as if it’s different all the time - that’s interesting.

That was a fantastic read.

I find that altering my hosts file manually and using the new focus feature on MacOS Monterey fits perfectly for my workflow.

I don’t have installed apps that distract me. It’s simply websites (Reddit being the worst in my case) and notifications.

I’m also using a separate user account for dev work and everyone at work knows I check slack and my emails twice a day and they can call me at any time. I’ve found it cuts down on distractions because it’s easy for people to ping me with small things but they feel a significant reason is needed for calls.

Focus on iOS has all notifications muted in my work profile but allows calls from my co-workers and partner.

This is what I’d expect a bot to write if it was only trained on zlatan ibrahimovic comments.

Hit the front page of HN so it’s time to raise the prices.

>Looks like there aren’t any results for “”. Try double-checking your spelling or searching for a related topic.

Looks as if it's VERY hidden.

Interestingly enough, this is how it was for me with diving. I received my basic open water then my advanced open water very close to each other. I only ever took one dive after receiving my AOW cert and that was seven years ago.

They have never downloaded a video off Napster or Limewire and realized it's actually... well, not the video they wanted.

This is amazing, thank you so much for the info - just registered!

This is about the tenth time I’ve seen someone reference a framework laptop in the last couple of days.

Is it a new company?
