   Have you tried a ketogenic diet?

   Eat more fat. Skip carbs almost entirely. Ketogenic diets avoiding insulin inducing foods hack your metabolism to burn only fat. I practice intermittent fasting as well (having an eating window of less than 6 hours per day). Both are good t

   I am not an idiot. I may occasionally be ill informed resulting in sub optimal decisions or advice. Which is kind of the point of the question. How do you evaluate information? Do you trust Big Media? Do you trust grainy videos from the war

    Hydro and geothermal have non-zero emissions of course. They last for a very long time thou. It's a bit like buying an electric car. The emissions might look bad at the outset but you come out ahead really quickly.

    Also: how is using more electricity bad? I live in Iceland where we almost solely produce electricity with hydro and geothermals. I drive a Tesla which reduces our gasoline consumption. There's a lot of built in assumptions that ignore

    I'm astounded that the military uses Windows at all. It would seem a no-brainer to make everyone use a better protected OS. Which *nix is a fine starting inquiry.

    I don't think you deserve downvotes, but your appeal to an authority (yourself), is not very convincing on it's own.

    It's just brain-breaking on so many levels. I often had to re-read couple of pages back to decypher what the hell was going on. But still in all that madness remains a certain lucidity and clarity.

    VALIS is a full-fledged acid trip. There are pages where the narrative changes perspective so harshly it can break your brain. Recommend the trip regardless.

    I was revisiting a codebase I hadn't seen in 6 years and I gasped aloud at how pretty it was. I thought at the time: "Why don't I write beautiful code like this anymore?" and I think I have an answer (for my case). I exc

    An addendum to this is don't eat carbs. Go Keto. I'm practicing intermittent fasting and low-carb dirty keto and it still produces amazing benefits. I sleep better, I'm not bloated anymore and my energy doesn't crash a f

    I could find a single sentence from the noob that I could agree with. Redis is superior to memcached. Not due to being faster or scalable, I've just had less operational problems with it than memcached. It's on my list of supers

    I can't explain for the other user but I'll tack on my own little horror story. I once got the task of porting something written for early nodejs that used MongoDB as a backend to Django. The app had been developed by a contractor

    I have a decade of writing code for various organizations and glowing recommendations from bosses and coworkers throughout that time. I don't know why a company would insist on me proving my worth in a worthless waste of time except to

    Yes. I have never been burnt by these other software tools. I like them better. They work as advertised and any new features are new features, not fixes.

    Consider this toast burnt for life. I am not about to trust anything coming from Redmond for life. This is in spite of having great respect for things coming from Microsoft Research. I'll happily use their toy OS for my games but if I

    Sure. I like Linux and OSS. If anything happens that is unexpected I can trace it back to the source code that makes up my programming environment. I actually like C# as a programming language. It's .NET that's effed up. .NET dev

    I have a clue about C#/.NET. Did it professionally for almost 2 years. That's why I don't like it.

    Thankfully upgrades move faster in the OSS world. The worrysome cases are embedded systems. Especially those built intentionally 32 bit.

    I'm a bit shocked at how low bandwith was allocated. 421 Megabytes per day is the theoretical upper limit. 16 Terabytes for the entire mission. I have more bulk storage in my desktop.
