In France in conforama stores salesman use a ascii terminal GUI connected to AIX shells. Fast as hell to take your order. I’m always amazed at how marketing BS lead us to vastly sub optimal solution.

Sorry for the naive question, but if you're changing all your bindings to vim, then why use emacs at all? Is there any extra functional difference?
You get the vi bindings and modal behaviour which I find better _plus_ all emacs functions and most of the emacs bindings. I’m often mixing the 2 modes while editing.
best info i got on this topic is from weight training videos. applies to everything though, give it a shot. it's long but you can easily see from the slides what he's saying https://youtu.be/zNePCoXjC4s
quick gist is when people say motivation to train or do anything there's really a specific process we go through that determines to what extent we stick with anything
1 inspiration
2 motivation
3 intention
4 discipline
5 habit
6 passion
sibling comment is correct here, discipline is necessary but only 1/6 of the framework. for long term sustainability we need habits plus higher order reasons to want to do it. passion ideally, or boosts of positive energy from inspiration and motivation.
What helps me doing something I don’t like on a daily basis (pull up for example) is thinking : I don’t have the choice. That way I consume much less willpower
I always use it in pipelines to extract columns. I often use it for summations of numbers. Sometimes for more complex tasks. Get the job done.

First, thank you for asking, I already appreciate your constructive approach.
Now I would like to be more precise: I assert that, at the very least, male-female-friendship is a deviation from the rule. I.e., it is not expected to work, but it can in some instances.
Why?
Because male and female are by default and by nature sexually attracted to each other, and if not then that is simply unexpected.
In fact, there are studies where they made strangers simply look each other in the eyes for a little while. What happened was that some of them fell in love just by doing so.
Put another way: Friendship means affection. There is no reason why such affection between a heterosexual male and female wouldn't eventually cross the sexual level of affection, at least for one of the two. It is simply to be expected more often than not. Thus it is expected that at least one of the two will - at least occasionally - have sexual fantasies about the other.
Agreed. But you can have sexual fantasies and still be friend, no ?
It just has to average out in the long term.
No one eats the exact same thing everyday.
And you can eat less or more throughout the year.
You've never had a holiday feast?
That’s my point. Regarding people that maintain the same weight, I highly doubt they eat on average the _exact_ amount needed. There must be physiological adjustments that are broken in some people.
>Nobody is contesting the physical reality of CICO; what they are contesting is that the "calories out" section of the diet is as easily controlled as previously thought.
I'm not so sure about that, I see a lot of claims otherwise on this article's thread which blows my mind a bit.
It's definitely an issue calculating and managing the calories out portion and for some people, it may not be an effective model to manage weight with diet and exercise, but I'm reading a lot of "this model is wrong" which is a little baffling to me.
Is it possible the caloric measurements are off? Absolutely, we may not even be considering all metabolic pathways, but hopefully a lot of its getting covered. CICO should be used as anchor points to help you guide your diet and find what works for you because everyone is a little different. Don't like a lot of vegetables, coffee make you sleepy and lazy? Hate cardio but love weight lifting or vice versa?
Try something else, but CICO can help you make a better grounded basis of comparison here to find what mixture works best for your body to manage weight and get or keep the body composition you desire. Does the model simply not work for your lifestyle? Try something else! But is it wrong? Eh, I don't think so.
CICO while thermodynamically true, is not _that_ useful because no one really control CI nor CO …
This is not a meme but basic physics. This is how you do your cut and bulk cycles to lose and gain exactly a planned amount of weight. My base energy expenditure is relatively low at around 1800 kcal. If I eat 2000 kcal I will gain around 1 kg in 35 days (1 kg of fat is a 7000 kcal surplus), and similarly I could lose 1 by eating 1600 kcal. For finding sources look up "TDEE".
Weight loss is complicated because of the added dimension of satiety. If I eat proteins, vegetables and fats without counting I'll be around my baseline. But with sugar and carbs it's impossible to not overshoot without being terribly hungry. Also with less insulin sensitivity found in obese/pre-diabetics people, ingested food can not be efficiently used and end up stored, leading to the vicious cycle of being tired and still hungry.
How do one manage to eat exactly the amount of calories one consumes ? Based on the calories in/out weight gain theory a little error of 50 calories/day would lead to 50*365=18250 extra calories/year ie 18250/9000=~2kg of fat. 20kg in 10 years !
Eat an apple a day and you’ll be massively obese in few years.

One medicine that addresses both is a moving away from outcome based thinking and focus on performance.
Ask "did I try my best", opposed to "did I get what I want"
There is a similar idea in the book "atomic habits" by James clear : focus on process not outcome. that’s one of the best advice I ever read.

You two comments (the one I'm replying to and the previous one) fell of the slippery hope, near the deep end.
No worries, I have my helmet ;-)
