Do you workout/train/exercise? Could you share what/how your routine(and food/rest too) is like? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I train primarily for powerlifting, secondarily for hypertrophy. At a high level, that means my workouts are organized such that each day focuses on one of the three main powerlifts (squat, bench, deadlift), plus accessory exercises to address weak points.

You might enjoy something similar if

  • You like seeing numbers go up or big numbers in general
  • Don't like being sore after workouts
  • Enjoy simple workouts

Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

That's kind of an odd question. I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. People choose exercises based on goal, the available equipment, and ability to perform the exercise. So I've never seen anyone do a belt squat in person because I've never been to a gym with belt squat equipment. I don't see many people do front levers because few are able to do them.

How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

If you have a particular problem with meeting your macronutrient goals, then that might be a more concrete question to pose. I feel like this is a bit too individual to give you anything useful. Tracking, I do with Macrofactor. It's a paid app.

Smart light switch default behaviour (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm looking to get some smart light switches/dimmers (zigbee or matter if that's relevant), and one of the requirements for me is that if the switches aren't connected to the network, they would behave like regular dumb switches/dimmers. No one ever advertises anything except the "ideal" behaviour when it's connected with a hub and their proprietary app and everything, so I haven't been able to find any information on this.

So my question: is this the default behaviour for most switches? Are there any that don't do this? What should I look out for given this requirement?

A spider scientist wants us to appreciate the world's 8-legged wonders, celebrates spiders as friends not foes, and highlights all their surprising traits in c/[email protected]

Question: What is it about spiders that you think generates that ick factor in people?

The mess of webs they leave behind and how you constantly have to pay attention to every surface you put weight on lest you end up with a splotch of spider guts to clean up.

Four in ten Britons say animal lives are worth the same as human lives in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

A better comparison would be if the human in question was a random dude you pulled off the streets. If this was a cow that I grew up with and shared a bond with, then yeah, I'd obviously pick the cow over some dude I don't know. If it's a childhood friend versus a random cow I don't know? Same thing but in reverse.

You want the url to look less suspicious, not more.

What's the greatest extent (as in the most amount of time) to which you've eaten something past its expiration date with the food still being enjoyable? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I've had the opposite experience. The older the pasta, the longer it takes to cook. If it cooks faster, that suggests to me that it has absorbed water during storage, which allows harmful bacteria to grow and the pasta might actually be expired.

Federal government going ahead with high-speed rail between Quebec City and Toronto in c/[email protected]

Oh. Sad. This article's very confusing. I can't tell when it's talking about the high speed rail vs the high frequency rails.

They already did the bidding process and chose who the contact of going to. Doesn't that mean it's happening for sure?

Same. That's when everyone else goes to sleep and actually leaves you time to focus on your work.

Being a millionaire is easily doable now on a regular 9-5 job if you're paid fairly. In my city at least, I can tell you that a software dev can reach millionaire status within about 20 years of work. No fraud needed unless you count ETF investments or software dev as fraud.

[YouTube] There's no known upper limit on per-meal protein intake (www.youtube.com)
 

This is a video about Jorn Trommelen's recent paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38118410/

The gist of it is that they compared 25g protein meals vs 100g protein meals, and while you do use less of it for muscle protein synthesis at that quantity, it's a very minor difference. So the old adage still holds: Protein quantity is much more important than timing.

While we're at it, I'd also like to share an older but very comprehensive overview of protein intake by the same author: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/athlete-protein-intake/

How are funds allocated in OSS projects? (lemmy.ca)
 

Following up on another question about open source funding, how does it usually work when there is funding to pay for the dev's work, then someone new joins in and makes significant contributions? Does the original dev still keep everything? Do you split the funds between the devs? If so, how do you decide how much each person gets? Are there examples of projects where something like this has happened?

How can we start making a change? (lemmy.ca)
 

There's many posts here with the purpose of convincing people to support electoral reform. Not so much that's actually actionable. What do we do if we want to change things? For a start, does anyone have information on who's responsible for the election system at each level of government in each of the major cities?

How do you feel about storing binary files with Git? (lemmy.ca)
 

I think it's generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there's still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me.

So what's your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?

Bug: Scroll position jumping around (slrpnk.net)
 

I suspect this is a problem with posts that have extremely long bodies like this one: https://slrpnk.net/comment/8035803

I'm trying to scroll down to the top first comment and inevitably overshoot. When I i try to scroll back up, it suddenly jumps back to the middle of the OP's body.

When can babies start eating bread? I don't know, but you can buy it for $37.39! (lemmy.ca)
 

I was looking up when babies can safely start eating untoasted bread and one of the images led me to this website that sells... stuff? Are they selling me the question? Who knows.

Then if you scroll down to the related products, you can buy a basketball club for $30, down from $15!

I'm guessing this is some phishing website looking to steal credit cards. I also still haven't found an answer to my original question.

Show link domains without opening it (lemmy.ca)
 

Is it possible for posts to show the domain (TLD and SLD) of link posts?

Use case: I don't want to watch videos so I want to avoid clicking YouTube links. I would like to know that they are YouTube videos without having my phone spend the next minute trying to open YouTube.

How do you store your metadata? (lemmy.ca)
 

By metadata, I'm talking about things like text descriptions of a photo/video and where they come from, or an explanation of what a certain binary blob contains, its format, how to use it, etc.

The best solution I have right now is xattrs, but those are dependent on the file system, and there's no guarantee that they will stay when the files get moved, especially if the person moving them is unaware of its existence. The alternative is to keep a plaintext file with this metadata alongside every photo/video/binary/etc, but that would be a huge pain to keep in sync since both files have to be moved together.

So my question to you: do you keep this kind of metadata? If so, how do you manage them?

[Discussion] How can we deal with misinformation? (lemmy.ca)
 

With the rapid advances we're currently seeing in generative AI, we're also seeing a lot of concern for large scale misinformation. Any individual with sufficient technical knowledge can now spam a forum with lots of organic looking voices and generate photos to back them up. Has anyone given some thought on how we can combat this? If so, how do you think the solution should/could look? How do you personally decide whether you're looking at a trustworthy source of information? Do you think your approach works, or are there still problems with it?
