1g/lb is in fact a popular target among bodybuilders.
Much research indicates 0.5 to 0.7 g/lb provides most of the benefits, with continuing but diminishing gains above 0.7 g/lb. And the benefit is not just for "body building", but also for minimizing muscle loss during weight loss and improving insulin sensitivity. Other research indicates we may benefit from higher levels as we age.
LOL. I rarely eat there, just saw that $8.00 price advertised here maybe it's a special offer.
A couple of years ago my wife and I stopped there to get a meal on the road (there was really not much else to choose from) and when the total for the two of us was over $20 I actually did a double take and said "there must be some mistake, it's just two meals" but that was the cost. Haven't eaten there since.
Re: "99% of the time" ... this is an ambiguous sample space. Soundness of results clearly depends on the questions being asked. For what set of questions does the 99% guarantee hold?
Consider this analogy: Instead of using a root command shell, it is wise to use an account with appropriately restricted capabilities, to limit the downsides of mistakes. Cloud services support the notion of access control, but not the notion of network resource usage limits. It's an architectural flaw.
Or do you always log in as root, like a real man, relying purely on your experience and competence to avoid fat-finger mistakes?
Oscullation/"anticipation" in transitions is so gimmicky and cartoonish. Living things don't move like that, and mechanical things don't unless they are broken, chintzy, or poorly designed (underdamped).
In my view we most certainly do, though of course not all the time.
Oscillations typically happen when moving quickly and then stopping at a certain position.
A prime example is the ISSF 25m rapid fire pistol event, where you start with the pistol pointing down at 45 degrees, and within 8, 6 and 4 seconds have to raise the pistol and take 5 aimed shots.
Beginners will often find they oscillate vertically above and below the center of the target as they raise the pistol, and it usually takes a fair bit of practice not to oscillate. This is more pronounced at the rapid pistol events due to the tight time constraint forcing them to move quickly, especially at the final 4 second round.
Another example is gymnastic rings, especially when they go from a swinging motion to stopping vertically or horizontally.
Anticipation-like movement often occurs when we want to get a bit of extra momentum. For example, casually tossing a base ball or tennis ball often results in a bit of backwards movement first, before the main swing. Typically it's one smooth movement.
We see this, not only in mammals and muscles, but in organic systems which evolved to trade speed for power by storing mechanical, electrical, or chemical potential energy over time.
Overshoot and damping is the same in reverse: dissipating kinetic energy when you, for example, bend your knees when you land from a jump (hopefully).
Sure they do? When people do a standing jump, they first crouch lower to the ground. An arrow is pulled back on the bow before fired. A ball pushed uphill will roll uphill before stopping and rolling downhill.
"Anticipation" in character animations is a source of persistent friction between game programmers and animators because if incorporated as part of user/player action it simply kills responsiveness. OTOH being able to see NPCs prepare to do something (like pulling the bow) is incredibly useful.
Eh, sort of. You do that if you're working out, because you're trying to maximize performance.
Most living beings aren't trying maximize performance, they're trying to maximize survival. That crouch gives away that you're about to jump, and it allows prey to avoid you more easily or predators to adjust their attack to counter for it. A rabbit trying to get away from a predator simply bounds away in its given direction without giving away what its doing.
My experience seeing animals is apparently different from yours. The anticipation/tell is very clear for a wide range of animals... Birds squat down before taking off, cats hunker down to the ground before pouncing, etc.
Even the human jumping example again... Suggesting people only bend their knees for performance would mean the "normal" way of jumping involves keeping your legs straight at all times and using your ankles/toes for all your thrust?
The correct way to do "anticipation" is to apply it as something is being pressed, then finish the animation on release. Putting both together in a single easing function is missing the point, IMO.
Gravity Forms is a very popular premium WordPress plugin.
I maintain a handful of WordPress sites (wouldn't have been my choice of platform but whatever) and the design and functionality of Gravity Forms is better than most (aside from it being CPU-hungry). It doesn't generally give me trouble and as a developer I've been happy with how Rocket Genius have interacted with me when I've filed trouble tickets.
A pretty substantial number of small and mid-tier orgs have Gravity Forms installed. I don't know the numbers — the wordpress.org popularity stats mainly reflect installation of free plugins not premium — but there should be a lot of sites handling a lot of traffic.
EDIT: That's the number of sites which could have been affected. Fortunately only a small number of sites actually got the compromised package because it didn't enter the main automatic distribution chain.
seemingly small amount of sites that manually downloaded that version from the site as opposed to 'most' that get premium(paid) update files through their API gateway (that I think calls file from AWS).
> The Gravity API service that handles licensing, automatic updates, and the installation of add-ons initiated from within the Gravity Forms plugin was never compromised. All package updates managed through that service are unaffected.
"The infection does not seem to be widespread, which could mean that the backdoored plugin was only available for a very short period of time and only delivered to a small number of users."
Apple has the technology to bias people towards cats instead of dogs but I find it very unlikely they will bother to do that. The missing ingredient is how it helps their bottom line, which, instead of technical feasibility, is the root reason they do things. For whatever reasons some people REALLY love Apple's default restrictions, most don't really give a damn one way or the other, and the smallest group seem to have problems with it. It's not that Apple can do this so they are, it's users want this and now it can be done.
Perhaps a much more bleak take, depending on one's views :).
