    They are also carefully managed because change managers are risk averse by nature and experience. Individual team members tasked with changes are usually less risk averse and don't often take into account the full scope of how their changes, or even minor tinkering, could affect activities up...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I'm in global change management for a finance company. Is your troubleshooting on resources outside the scope of the changes but still covered by the change window? Could your troubleshooting affect the changes in flight? If not, and the chance is low that the troubleshooting will cause...

    Hey fam, anyone find a good deal on a 23 or 24 inch G-sync monitor? Only one I've found is the dell for $380 which looks cool, but I'd rather pay a bit less as I don't need a ton of features.

    Just in case it wasn't clear in my last comment, I'm not arguing with you anymore. The quoted text is precisely why. You made up your own logical fallacy, somehow expecting anyone to take it seriously, then used it to argue your points while at the same time using appeals to authority, an...

    Never! Someone is being a cunt on the internet. I can't stop arguing until I'm just as big a cunt as he is.....so this will be a while. Seriously though, I'll stop with him. He's hell-bent on not getting it. Consider this my withdrawal from it.

    You just don't get how science works. Taking multiple studies all with different lengths, methodologies, and controls only linked by the same general concept and saying their combined results are indicative of meaning is bad science. Full stop. This isn't to say that their results are of no...

    That you think this is a properly controlled, valid scientific study is all the evidence I need to know you are exactly the mindless zealot you rage against. Edit: for exactly this reason.

    I asked you to link this study and you haven't done so. Again, I'm more than happy to view this research with an open mind, but citing a 20 person 6 week study isn't something that anyone who believes in the scientific method takes as evidence. It is merely an interesting data point that...

    Who doesn't understand what science is or how it is supposed to be performed. Things like hypotheses, populations, and sample sizes are just things to hand wave and dismiss. But then he also says that everyone else is a fanatic that won't be convinced.

    This link was a study of 20 people. You keep talking about science facts and then link studies that can't possibly be used to confirm anything due to the small sample size. The only thing a study like this proves is that more research needs to be done. Link the studies that have hundreds of...

    So you're going to ignore that I already specifically stated that there is no way low carb can break CICO because of the laws of thermodynamics? Also, do you even read your own links? This whole blog is talking about how there are different types that respond to different diets and that...

    Man, this study sure does put this debate to rest. Let's look into it further: Just wow. 61 adults, a nearly meaningless sample size, were randomize and grouped and after six months their weight loss measurements had a variance of +/- 65% in the best case. This certainly is damning...

    I'm open to opposing research. Seriously. But regardless of Taubes' behavior and views, none of these guys has addressed the giant elephant in the room. Five decades of telling people to count calories, reduce fats, eat more whole wheat and grains, and limit protein has led to a worldwide...

    I think the discussion worth having is how much genetics contributes to your ability to process carbs and whether or not insulin resistance is the real culprit behind the health epidemic that is ongoing. Research is coming out that children of diabetic mothers are much more likely to be diabetic...

    Oh, so you're going to be a dick about it now? Okay, we can do that. How about you show me any evidence that excess fat or protein causes insulin resistance? No? Okay, give me any study that shows better overall health outcomes for a diet high in carbs and sugar vs a low carb one. I'll...

    Gary gets shit on a lot because people misrepresent his views. Also, he doesn't do himself any favors by saying CICO is bogus in interviews and in print, when in his longer discussions he talks about it being not the whole picture. He definitely has a very rigorous attitude towards research...

    I agree with you about blaming carbs for all our problems is silly. I'm 36 years old, spent my late teens and all of my twenties eating whatever the fuck I wanted, and was skinny the whole time. I have great genetics when it comes to diet, apparently. Constant diet experimentation, though, has...

    I'm just lucky that I care way more about the bacon, eggs, and cheese than I do about the biscuit. Biscuits are delicious, but after eating low carb I definitely feel like shit for hours after eating them.

    I agree with that much. It has to work due to the laws of thermodynamics. I'm saying that the way we measure caloric intake and put them on packages and the way we determine how a body burns calories is most likely at least partially incorrect. **EDIT** I'd include that we also don't...

    So what do you guys think of Gary Taubes? I've been doing quite a bit of research on keto and the like, and at this point I'm pretty convinced he has the right of it for the most part. Now, I certainly buy into the premise that everyone is different and so all diets have varying effects on...

    Is there a 24 inch version of this monitor? If so, is it as good as the 27? I have a r5 1600 oced to 3.7 and a 1070. I have heard 144hz gaming is the way to go but don't know the first thing about it. I was going to go with 1080p/144hz with my system. Is gsync really worth the extra?
