Honestly I do on a regular basis. Also that doesn't sound like a lot for a browser to maintain. Imagine opening most links in a new tab. That's how it happens and that's me.

Anyone know of some interesting crates that can now be used on stable thanks to this release?

Skip lists can be a good candidate for an ordered concurrent map implementation, outperforming an ordered map based on a bst/btree for instance.

idsout | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Any weird tips for weight loss?

Exactly this. I'm 30yo, have been overweight most of my life and I've finally learned this. Since last May I've lost 65lbs by simply putting my height, weight, activity level, and age in an online calorie calculator and have weighed myself every day and kept my calories at or under this target. I just started feeling energetic enough to start weight lifting as of one month ago and my weight hasn't changed (started eating +450 more calories a day), but I'm already starting to physically change (slightly more defined arms and chest for instance).

You don't need a fancy diet. Just count calories every single day long enough and you will lose weight.

An added benefit of counting for so long is that I can now roughly estimate the number of calories in food when I'm out with friends. I just factor in those slight cheat outings into the beginning of my day or next day.

> little bsd differences have been driving me nuts since I took a job that forced me into a MacBook, but these tools solve that issue and are easy to install with Homebrew.

I'm in the same boat as you - I love the the rust-based CLI tools. I would also recommend installing the GNU coreutils via homebrew (https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/coreutils). This lets you run the GNU coreutils by prefixing them with a `g`, like `gsed` rather than `sed`.
