You can leave memory enabled and tell it to not use memory in the prompt of it's interfering.


Cool IDE, cool project.

At the same time, it can all be done in Power Pivot and Power Query as long as you know how to use them.


You can use C# and SQL in Power Pivot and Power Query? I couldn't figure out how to do so based on a cursory web search.

More generally, you can do all of this same 'stuff' in any language. This seems like a possibly better way to do the same things tho.


If you need to use C# in Excel, you're doing it wrong. There's very little programming that you should be doing with VBA, too.

Most of your programming should be DAX plus a bit of worksheet functions. Some SQL to filter your data before loading into Power Pivot.

SQL yes, of course. You run SQL queries to load data into Power Pivot through a native SQL Server driver or native drivers for your DB or worst case ODBC.

Then you do all the BI analytics in DAX and show results in pivot tables. DAX is a very fast, concise and very, very powerful language for analytics. This is the whole purpose of OLAP.

My bad, corrected the title.

I don't see anything objective about that article, it looks like an opinion piece.


It's actually a sign of insulin over-secretion rather than poor insulin sensitivity.

However, in practice, there are signs as to whether you have good insulin sensitivity or not and possibly whether you over-secrete insulin. Here’s two very simple questions to ask yourself regarding your response to diet.

1. On high-carbohydrate intakes, do you find yourself getting pumped and full or sloppy and bloated? If the former, you have good insulin sensitivity; if the latter, you don’t.

2. When you eat a large carbohydrate meal, do you find that you have steady and stable energy levels or do you get an energy crash/sleep and get hungry about an hour later? If the former, you probably have normal/low levels of insulin secretion; if the latter, you probably tend to over-secrete insulin which is causing blood glucose to crash which is making you sleepy and hungry.

Over-secretion of both insulin, and subsequently glucose, is the _result_ of insulin resistance as your liver tries to adapt at various stages.


I don't understand why Lyle still doesn't mention the roles of insulin/leptin/dopamine receptors (and strategies to boost their results) in newer studies.

Some good info here:

I've been doing Leangains style IF for the past four years. I'd like to share a few quick tips.

If anyone here wants to try intermittent fasting, do it for the sake of convenience. I don't eat breakfast or lunch, I just eat when I get home from work or after weight training. On weekends I break my fast earlier than on weekdays.

I wouldn't say you should do it for the "benefits" if it doesn't fit your lifestyle. Right now all we know is that it's not bad for you. It does work pretty well for hunger control, which can help if your goal is weight loss.

Also, don't live by the clock. It's OK to eat outside your feeding window, you might get hungry later during the day and the next day you might get hungry earlier.

Here's a guide if you're looking for a place to start: http://www.leangains.com/2010/04/leangains-guide.html

Here's a good article if you have general questions about IF: http://www.leangains.com/2010/10/top-ten-fasting-myths-debun...


> It's OK to eat outside your feeding window

Everybody's different, I use meal time and IF in part to limit what I eat. I have to because I love everything about eating, the taste, the feeling of eating, the socialising environment, etc. . I ccan eat anything at any time, and have a bottom less stomach.


Leangains IF assumes that you track your macros. I was just talking about your feeding window influencing hormonal entrainment (ghrelin).


Psychedelics aren't about pure visuals. They're more about meaning.


Same thing.


how??


"Seeing" is the process of constructing meaning from the raw activation of the light receptors in your eyes. That's why optical illusions work. After all, it's simply patterns of ink on a page - why should you see things that seem impossible? It's because the image is designed to get your brain to construct a particular meaning out of the image.


LSD's effect isn't limited to visual perception. One of the most common reported phenomenon is a sort of understanding of the connectedness of things.

That may be a result of the reality that all things really are connected when they are stored as concepts in a network of neurons.


I'm well aware of that. What I'm getting at is that the same process that produces changes in how visual sense data gets interpreted also produces changes in how all your other sense data gets interpreted. This includes the sense data that introspection and narrative construction generates.


This in no way follows from your initial equation, which by itself doesn't make any sense.

Visuals contain meaning, but they are not meaning.


and that the neurons are not, if briefly, connected anymore when a chemical acid destructs them.


That's not how LSD works.


That's crazy amazingly awesome. Need to know how much it costs though, both camera and film/processing/cloud.


I'd expect the camera to cost 2-800 and the processing/film to be about 30 bucks a cartridge. Too bad they don't make a color reversal film anymore, so you can project it too.



Lustig just doesn't give up. He has already been crushed by Alan Aragon five years ago.

Credentials would tend to support the practicing endocrinologist. Also, the data Lustig really had to go get was the causal inference where increasing fructose had a delayed response of increased metabolic syndrome. That study has been done now.


Bulk coffee doesn't yield revenues of $1.00 per cup.

Clients get the convenience of an all-in-one machine for all their caffeinated drink needs, Keurig got $4.358 billion in revenue in 2013.
