I’m hungry right now. I should be working, but all I want to do is to eat. I have already eaten more than enough today, and I would like to lose weight.
I could take more caffeine to reduce my desire for food, but it is already too close to bedtime. I could try to focus on work (I am) but I keep getting intrusive thoughts about the fact that I could just get ice cream/cookies/chicken fingers/burrito/quesadilla/insert food here in just a few moments.
I wish I could take these drugs, unfortunately I cannot. Terrible side effects.
Strangely, after visiting Japan I found it quite easy to eat a healthy low calorie diet for about two weeks. Now I’m back to constant food noise, despite trying to stick to a Japanese-style diet (lots of fish and vegetables and fermented foods).
The people who say “just eat less” don’t understand what the actual problem is.
Very clearly AI written, but more seriously, I think the take is off base.
Winforms is still popular enough, but I think it did get seriously displaced by WPF. And WPF is modern enough to handle things like dark mode and High DPI relatively well. Visual Studio and other professional software in its class tends to use it (if using windows-native tech at all).
Maybe smaller business apps are still using winforms, but the XAML designer is also good so even if you want to just drag and drop controls WPF is the better choice IMO.
> Worse at the thing it most needed to be good at, which was surviving Microsoft's own framework churn. WPF's stack has no equivalent of Win32's thirty-year compatibility guarantee, because no such guarantee was ever offered. WinForms inherited Win32's compatibility guarantee for free.
I don’t get this. Ancient WPF software is just as compatible as it ever was and it’s getting on to 20 years old.
5,000 units can also be built alongside entirely too much office space and ground floor retail, which is mixed use.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever been to Portland but the predominant problem is still too much office and retail space (much of it empty) and not enough residential space; every apartment I have lived in and almost every apartment building I walk by day to day has vacant ground floor retail.
In context, when they said, “that mall is rad, I hope they block it there’s a campaign to stop the demolition” made it pretty close to unambiguous.
Why are people assuming that the kitchen coworkers are reasonable and that I am somehow making assumptions? I was there, I heard the conversation, HN replies did not. Portlanders are notorious for this sort of tradeoff-ignoring woo woo bullshit anyway, frankly it isn’t an extraordinary claim.
If you say you support density but that support withers away at the slightest hint of nostalgia or trade off, or because some old ladies walk in the dead mall sometimes (that was the cited reason), then you don’t really support density.
NIMBYs are usually not against new stuff in their backyard, they really just don’t want to lose the historic parking structures and culturally relevant SFHs already there.
Perhaps you are harboring NIMBY views you refuse to acknowledge and you are feeling defensive? Are you holding onto the corpse of Lloyd center?
You can want trains while simultaneously detesting all of the conditions that make trains viable. Just like you can want to drive to work every day and also want to never be in traffic. NIMBYism has nothing to do with being averse to working downtown or tearing down a mall (a radically YIMBY position regarding dead malls).
Would this insulin response be detectable with a CGM?
The answer is no - sucralose, saccharin, aspartame; it doesn’t matter, diet soda and artificial sweetener does not affect blood sugar in any detectable way, at least for me. It was one of the first things I checked when I got my CGM.
“It will crash your blood sugar” and “it will spike your blood sugar despite not having carbohydrates” are myths.
Wouldn’t it be more effective to ban non-chronological feeds? TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook would be transformed into useful tools overnight.
> If you can't lose weight with how you are eating
The problem is people find it difficult to change how they eat.
This is largely an environmental problem - observe that obesity rates vary over time and location.
