I finally started getting stronger in the gym when I stopped going to failure on everything. I got in the best endurance shape by going on a steady comfortable pace for progressively longer periods of time.

Harder is not always better.

it gets more complicated when you need to also display something like "last comment: <author> <3 days ago>" for each post, or if the comment counts need to be filtered by various flags/states/etc.

of course, it's all possible with custom SQL but it gets complicated quick.

The Phoenix.new environment includes a headless Chrome browser that our agent knows how to drive. Prompt it to add a front-end feature to your application, and it won’t just sketch the code out and make sure it compiles and lints. It’ll pull the app up itself and poke at the UI, simultaneously looking at the page content, JavaScript state, and server-side logs.

Is it possible to get that headless Chrome browser + agent working locally? With something like Cursor?

I hope this is an appropriate place to ask.

Say I am eating well, exercising consistently, getting enough sleep.

For a male in his 40s, what are the best bang-for-the-buck ways to detect cancer before it becomes life-threatening?

or pattern match it:

   defmodule Guess do
      def guess_message(candidate, _count=0) do
        "There are no #{candidate}s"
      end

      def guess_message(candidate, _count=1) do
        "There is 1 #{candidate}"
      end

      def guess_message(candidate, count) do
        "There are #{count} #{candidate}s"
      end
    end

Few things:

1100 calorie deficit is a bit extreme. Shoot for 500, or maybe 750 if you are pretty heavy.

How much protein did you eat? You'll maintain more muscle if you eat more protein.. consider 50% of calories from protein. Lifting weights also helps with maintaining lean muscle mass.

Alcohol can mess a lot with fluid retention. A good strategy for that when measuring progress is to weigh yourself each day but only look at the average weight over two weeks to see if you are progressing in the right direction.

A 10x10 room can’t be split into 5x10 rooms.. need some space for the wall in between.

Then you have two doors, and the space those doors need. Two windows for emergency exits.
