Games using Easy AntiCheat can opt in to Linux support. Arc Raiders runs on Linux (but not in VMs) whereas Fortnite does not, because Epic has chosen not to support Linux. Ironic given Tim Sweeney's supposed anti-monopoly stance.

> Ironic given Tim Sweeney's supposed anti-monopoly stance.

This doesn't really make sense. If you are implying he is FOR monopoly, he would want the game on every possible platform right? He loses money by not having more players playing his game.

Any idea how much muscle vs fat you lost on your fasts?
bhargav · a year ago
I did a DEXA scan at the end only so I don’t know the before accurately. I have some measurements from my Scale on muscle mass which shows a drop of about 2 kgs. Overall I lost about 30-35 lbs of weight. The measurements from the scale should be taken with a grain of salt though because they are based on impedance and formulas that are related to BMI

> The guidelines include following a five-day fasting-mimicking diet periodically throughout the year.

Including real fasting in a diet beats any of those fad diets with fake fasting gimmicks.

The Fasting Mimicking concept is there because this method was exclusively tested on Cancer patients who are also going through Chemo therapy. Having nutrients for these patients is important [1]

Is pure Water Fasting superior? Yes. I have done 1 week water fasts, back to back for 4 weeks and lost ~30 lbs.

However, I think fasting mimicking may help adherence for some people.

A lot of extensive research was done by Dr. Valter Longo and his department on similar topics and has made its way into an easily digestible book called The Longevity Diet. It changed my perspective big time with food.

Highly recommend reading this book for folks that are interested in Longevity.

Dr. Longo has also done a few podcasts with Dr. Rhonda Patrick (who might be more known to the audience here) you can checkout

I subscribe to YouTube Premium (from back when it was called YouTube Red). I pay a fixed amount each month, and that gets given to people who made videos I watch. Why can't we have more things like this?
bhargav · a year ago
Because you are an active consumer of YouTube to the point where you think it’s worth it to pay the monthly fee; as do I.

However, I seldom read any news articles maybe 1-2 here and there only. In that case I wouldn’t want to pay for a susscriotion. I likely also don’t wanna pay like five bucks to read an article.

This is one of those things where interests of the consumer are at odds with that of the business. Businesses need money, customers have money. Customers do not always want to pay the businesses directly. This issue is more obvious when it comes to news media. We don't have a good solution to pay $0.01 - $0.10 or whatever small denomination. The other question is would we even want to?

I don’t think Freemium or whatever subscription model solves these problems beyond the scope of a single website. I am interested to hear how this can be solved for consumers for whole swaths of websites that have ads.

It’s pretty easy to say ads are evi, but I personally don’t know a good solution.

1. Change . to |

2. Reverse

Now you have:

words | map read | sum

Or..

$ cat words | map -e read | sum

Yes but the notation of dot, plus such function names plus optional parens makes it sure read like English. That’s great but it’ll be a nightmare when you are also dealing with strings which similar English in it.

As a Haskell noob, I had the same problem a few times. Essentially: there's a function to do what you want to do, but good look finding it!

Someone thought "words" was the perfect name, and it wasn't me!

bhargav · a year ago
Yeah this language probably has a lot of Stackoverflow questions. This is basically like tasking someone’s personal dot file and trying to reason about it
