This is a must for AR/VR glasses. I thought that all android devices had this capability. Was disappointed to find out otherwise. I had to use a laptop to use the glasses on a plane.

LI is an interesting data source for the pulse of economy (at least in my echo chamber :). I don't even need to log in, just a quick glance in my LI email folder would tell a lot.

colima pretty much solves dev experience for docker and k8s on mac, esp. for apple silicons (m1/m2), where you can build multi-arch containers with ease.

Some interesting caveats:

* By default, system packages don't persist, as the default alpine distribution runs on tmpfs and doesn't have a overlay. This is a reasonable default, as it keeps the default VM storage small.

* If you want to have additional system packages, you can turn on a ubuntu overlay that supports additional systemd services just fine. Of course, storage would balloon to a few GBs from a few hundred MBs.

Edit: typos.

BTW, the result of docker build is immediately available to the k8s (k3s) cluster without any insecure registry and/or side loading/caching steps, thanks to the seamless buildkit integration.

55+ vegan OMAD here. Experienced positive recomposition (17% BF to 11%) according to the DEXA scans: grew muscle and lost fat over the same period (1 year) with the same diet (no bulking and cutting phases). Didn't measure for the previous 6 months period, where I lost ~20kg (probably from 25+% to 17%) with the same diet.

My OMAD is technically 2 sub-meals over 4 hours: 4pm: protein shake pre-workout, 5-6pm, weighted calisthenics, 6-8pm, dinner and dessert (protein ice creams).

Could be newbie gains, as I never exercised consistently before 50s: from zero pull-ups to 20+ (+40kg 1RM) over a year; zero dip to weighted (+30kg) RTO dips. zero full (ATG) squat to 10+ pistol squats.

The vegan OMAD has been easy for me, but I've never done other diet and exercise regimens before for comparisons.

The original git approach is still the best, which I've been using for years:

  # source this to clone the .files repo and setup the command

  #git clone --bare https://<user>@bitbucket.org/<user>/dotfiles $HOME/.files
  alias .f='git --git-dir=$HOME/.files --work-tree=$HOME'
  .f config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
  .f config --local remote.origin.fetch '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
  #.f config --local user.name '<User Name>'
  #.f config --local user.email '<user@emaildomain>'
  .f branch -a
I maintain a branch for each os/distribution (macOS, Ubuntu, CentOS etc.)

No, `dirname` is correct. The goal of `ln -s dirname/ linkname` is that even if you accidentally do `cp file linkname` (note without slash) when dirname is gone, it will error out. Without the trailing slash in the ln command, a file (instead of directory) named dirname will be created.

The content needs major update to incorporate recent research on:

  - Macro nutrients (protein, carbs, fat)
  - Micro nutrients (vitamins and minerals, important if you do IF)
  - Intermittent fasting (IF) / time restricted feeding (TRF)
  - Strength training (including weighted calisthenics)
  - Mobility exercises
  - Sleep management
  - Supplements

Fasted for 3 days and muscle mass increased by 2.4kg. Yeah, right.

3. "What's the best way to specify computation?" covered by programming language and compiler books.

Running 10k containers on one machine is totally realistic though. This is just yet another language vm (e.g. jvm) isolation all over again.

Hey OP, are you still looking? My company (a well funded AI startup with SV office) is definitely looking for eng roles from senior IC to VPE. PM if you're serious (email in profile). I can at least give you specific feedback on your resume.

To disable this class of exploits (bugs in unprivileged bpf) without installing a new kernel:

echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled
