Carbs are great for metabolism! In fact high carb diets are about as good as a low carb diets for reversing metabolic issues. The real problem seems to be "balanced meals" that have moderate amounts of all macros.

We don’t really know the design process for QWERTY but it wasn’t about avoiding mechanical jams. Avoiding mechanical jams was the reason Dvorak was invented.

QWERTY if anything seems to be about being convenient for transcribing Morse code. Letters with a similar Morse code are grouped etc.

It's not a problem. Just put your laptop on a coffee table or similar.

This setup works quite well with a wireless keyboard that has a built-in trackpad. The keyboard can move between the table, the floor, your lap, etc.

It can help you achieve calorie deficit, but controlling what you eat has a much bigger impact than exercise.

Best of luck and sorry about the comments here. The keto people need to take a chill pill sometimes. There's no reason why this diet won't work if you stick to it.

Be careful of sites like this. There are a lot of NGOs set up solely to propagandise against China.

If you want a laugh follow the link to the Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center, where they show a bunch of kids playing dress up in historic PLA uniforms and claim China is giving first graders army training.

If you try to use shell as a general purpose programming language, of course it sucks.

If you treat shell as a DSL for files and streams, nothing can beat it. Shell is amazing.

I'm sceptical a bunch of Rust macros can beat shell. I think you'd better off writing a few smaller programs that use STDIO and stringing them together with shell.

It's still the same empire.

The Roman Empire was home to many different ethnicities and was ruled at various times by different ethnicities. Latins, Greeks, Armenians, Arabs, etc.

Even the Ottomans considered their empire a continuation of the Roman Empire – one of the Sultan's title's was "Caesar of Rome". So you can add Turks to that list too.

It took me maybe a few hours to learn vim and I could be decently productive in it. After that I just learnt through exploration.

For me it was definitely worthwhile. Vim is almost everywhere so I can easily edit text wherever I go.

On the world stage:

• America will still be a strong player, but not completely dominant anymore.

• China will successfully assert itself in East Asia, OR force Japan, Taiwan, Phillipines, Vietnam, etc into a strong anti-China alliance.

• India and Europe will act more and more independently of the US.

• Turkey will seek to assert itself in former Ottoman territories, possibly leading to a period of peace in the Middle East if successful.

Technologically:

• Nothing groundbreaking in computer hardware.

• Still no self driving cars or compelling voice interfaces.

• Electric cars gain ground, but other forms of electric transportation become wildly popular.

• Having a driving license will become less common. Driving may become something left to the professionals, with more stringent tests and requirements.

• Meat alternatives become mainstream. People start to look down upon eating real meat.

Socially/economically:

• Continued urbanisation of the population.

• Continued slowing the the birth rate.

• Dwelling places keep getting smaller.

• Long term monogamous relationships become more uncommon.

• Wage stagnation

• Retail shopping almost dies out

• Entertainment is mostly online

Politically:

• Prison abolition movement will become stronger.

• Primitivist movement will get much bigger. They will seek to return to the country and a more independent, primitive way of life. When laws and social circumstances don't allow this they will turn to terrorism.

I think you've got shifting definitions of the West.

The Roman Empire was on par with China, but the Roman Empire was centred around the Near East – Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, etc.

Western European parts of the Empire were very under-developed, and only really served as a buffer for Rome. (Consider how quickly the Roman Empire gave up the West after moving its capital to the East.)

In the Middle Ages the West was behind, but it was in ancient times too, so no difference. And the Near East was still on par – no difference again.

It's only really modern times that have been difference, with the West exploding out of nowhere. But that is probably just a blip, and in the grand scheme we will probably end up with China and the Near East rising again.

What's he suggesting? Give women discounted internet?

You hate your job, but you feel forced to do it.

And you've been like that for 13 years! Even slaves in the Bible were released after 7 years.

No wonder you're miserable. No one can do something they hate for that long without having their soul crushed.

Sorry to the people here, but I don't think meditation/diet/exercise will fix this problem.

If you're going overseas, learn a little bit of the local language.

You'll be surprised how much of the language you pick up naturally just by memorising some basic words and using them.
