Treble comes from Old French, while triple comes from Latin. They mean exactly the same thing, and both words started as "triplus" in Latin. "Treble" is more commonly used in British English. In American English the word is used only in musical contexts.
It may be more commonly used in British than in American, but even in British, i think it's less commonly used than 'triple'. For me, a native British speaker, the only things that are ever treble are twenties, whiskies, and clefs.

What is this American you speak of? Perhaps it's the unique dialect of Spanish spoken in southern California? Or the Canadian French spoken in bits of northeastern North America? Or the dialect of English spoken in Belize?
By my mind, 'treble' is more associated with amount (3 x some value) while triple means three objects (3 of something). I don't know about dictionaries, but that's how I understand and use the words.
I have been at both extremes. For as long as I can remember I have had insomnia. It is a miserable disorder. At night I would endlessly ruminate about personal relationships, how I could help others, and the occasional work problems.
Recently I moved to the Bay Area. I work alone and have few friends. With few relationships, for the first time in my life I started falling asleep in under 10 minutes. It's a gift but it comes with a price. When I started mentoring at-risk high-school students, I found the insomnia returned, so I quit being a mentor after a few months.
Perhaps with more conditioning, insomnia won't relapse so easily.
What does "code" mean to a person who doesn't know data structures or algorithms? This man says he's a "software developer". What does that mean if all you know is JS and Angular? Web Apps?
I'm a web developer WITHOUT a CS degree, but with many years of JS etc. experience... what can I do to transition into the role of "software developer", which undoubtedly comes with a higher salary??
This happened to me as well. I went to a two-hour gong-bath/satsang, and was nearly suicidal by the end. To be honest I'm relieved that this isn't unique to me.
I recently re-introduced chicken into my diet after 12 years after being a vegetarian. I started eating chicken breast for breakfast instead of the usual toast and peanut butter, and the difference in my energy level is astounding. I'm no longer carb-foggy, my digestion is much better, and I don't have to eat again until well into the afternoon or evening.
I've never been so sad as when I read the New Yorker profile[1] of the creator of Soylent. Most people understand that food can be extremely healthful, and is a crucial part of culture and social bonding.
It's not so much the idea of smoothies or protein shakes or yogurt drinks or whatever (tasty) on-the-go nutrition you choose. It's the mentality around "lifehacking" and my work being too important and all-consuming to partake in the types of life activities that the muggles do.

The average American meal is not a healthy, fulfilling group activity. Soylent is there to replace those meals and free up time and money to more frequently enjoy the other type of meal (or whatever else you might want to do with your time).
Agreed. I fast before working out in the morning, and usually break the fast by noon. On weekends I'll often eat breakfast and then fast the rest of the day.
I'm a woman, and on birth control, so fasting doesn't mess with my hormones so much, but I read that women tend to respond to fasting with heightened color vision and vivid sensorial experiences, which I can anecdotally confirm.
That said, I can only practice intermittent fasting for one to two days at a time before it starts negatively affecting my workouts and attention span.
