good ideas, I try to do something similar in emacs org-mode, it just tends to get unwieldly after awhile.

A problem well defined is a problem half-solved - a great fortune cookie quote I recently came across and has been resonating with me alot lately. Its tough to move forward without having a clear vision of what needs to be done.

> (As a side note, this way of dividing up the region also has a significant effect on the City's infamous crime statistics, for reasons that should be pretty obvious with a little bit of thought. That is to say, if you define almost any city as only its most inner core, then you're going to end up with much higher crime rates than if you include its suburbs. And if you're comparing one city that doesn't include its suburbs with cities that predominantly do, then, well, you get the idea.)

This applies to many cities in the Northeast as well. The cities are tiny compared to cities in other parts of the country.

I'm kinda surprised the researchers were "stunned" by the initial results, trusting those young whippersnappers to be al truthful...

wonder if this has anything to do with the npm maintainer who is missing. Hope he's ok.

jaiball | 12 years ago | on: Intermittent fasting: The good things it did to my body

Agreed. The fasted state is key here, giving the body a chance not to be processing food. After doing this for a while I can't understand the deal with eating small meals a bunch of times a day.

Another recommendation for Leangains.com - been following it for over a year and have seen good results. Although I haven't followed the protocol to the letter - I eat a good amount of junk food during the week, but also good food as well. The point is to narrow your window of time that you eat during the day. I believe I could be doing even better if I concentrated on eating better and cutting out the crap, but now I have a pretty good balance of being in shape and being able to eat what I want.
