Commander X16 3 years ago

The Commander X16 is The 8-Bit Guy’s dream computer, designed to evoke the same fondness and nostalgia many of us had for 8-Bit computers, while retaining closeness to the hardware from a programming perspective, unlike the Raspberry Pi and others.

It doesn’t, therapy does. When you take it suddenly - within an hour - you find yourself in a very different mindstate where you don’t feel shit, maybe for the first time in your life. This experience can shorten the time you need to process, it can make the therapy shorter. It’s not the drug doing its thing, it’s you and the therapist together doing the thing.

Exactly this. I remember the first time I saw a computer, just pressed a button and the letter appeared on the screen. It was magical. There was another “aha” moment later when I understood that it’s doing what I tell it to do but nothing else, so I have to be very specific.

I think it's quite the opposite, battery production is the key.

The problem is that no one can mass produce batteries for cars at this scale. As of now the projected capacity of the Gigafactory is enough batteries for 500k cars / year. By 2020 it will be 1.5M cars / year. This is more batteries than the whole world produced in 2013.

By 2020 Tesla is gonna have a lot of experience how to do this efficiently so the cost will be much lower. They are gonna have a new gigafactory in the EU. Lithium mines can't produce enough lithium at this scale so Tesla already makes deals with them to ramp up the production.

BMW makes 2.5 million cars a year. So what's the plan exactly? Just buy the batteries? From whom? When every other large car manufacturer wants to buy batteries and there is not enough on the market the price will go up.

Every time I read something like Volkswagen|Mercedes|Audi|whatever plans to sell x ev cars by 2020 I never see any mention about who is going to make the batteries.

I think the large car manufacturers are already behind, they should start working on their battery factories right now.

I have the same problem right now.

I use an unsigned int "pos" column in the db.

For a new list the "pos" starts with 1..n

When the user changes the order I find the largest "pos" in the list and with a for I set largest + n "pos" for every item.

There will be about 20 items in a list but let's just assume it's a 1000, so with this I'm good if the user edits the list less than 4 294 967 295 / 1000 times.

And if the largest + count(list) < lowest I can set the largest to zero and start over the pos with 1.

Exactly this. I just don't want to get up, find my wallet, enter the card number, choose the expiration date from a select, enter the CVV, hit submit, and after all this there is a chance it's not going to work, who knows why, I don't even care. I don't like paypal, but it's really convenient.

Why don't you buy a used mid 2012 MBP instead? For 5-600 pound you can get one with a still good quad core i7 cpu and you can upgrade/replace everything, removing the ODD gives you extra space for additional HDD/SSD, can handle 16GB ram, easy to replace the battery (I just did, it was about 30 quid from amazon), it's perfect. I'm still using mine and not planning to replace it until it dies.

I don't think he was fat. Anyway, obviously it doesn't mean that you can eat as much as you want, it's never healthy.

I can only speak for myself, my calorie intake is restricted by about 20%. Most of it has to come from fat, not protein and your biggest problem is how can you eat that much fat. So lean meat is fine, but bacon, pork, steak is better :) And whole eggs, butter, cheese, avocados, carb free peanut butter, mayo. I measure everything, and it's still a lot of food. Since your blood sugar is basically constant during the day you don't feel hunger.

Yeah, you need fiber, but not a ton, just a teaspoon of psyllium husk powder daily, I mix it with my protein shake. Works.

Go to reddit /r/keto, there is a faq there.

Bullshit, the problem is not fat, it's the carbs. Watch this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vr-c8GeT34 David Diamond, Ph.D., of the University of South Florida College of Arts and Sciences shares his personal story about his battle with obesity. Diamond shows how he lost weight and reduced his triglycerides by eating red meat, eggs and butter.

This one is not heart problem related, but still interesting:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da1vvigy5tQ Can a person be "cured" of Type 2 Diabetes? Dr. Sarah Hallberg provides compelling evidence that it can, and the solution is simpler than you might think.

So after learning a lot about it I just started ketogenic diet a couple of weeks ago (very low carb, high fat, moderate protein). Everything I read about it says MCT is good, so coconut oil is good. Pure MCT is much better but it's £18 half litre so I'm not going to cook with that.

KCKO :)
