I'm on mobile so cannot lookup your references or provide any of my own. I will say that there's interesting research surfacing that is implicating insulin as the big nasty, not specifically carbs. Which would mean to me that if

There is no essential carbohydrate, the body can derive any glucose it needs from essential fats and proteins. That said, I'm keto and find it difficult to stay under 30 grams of carbohydrates per-day simply because carbs are in so man

I think if you framed what you're trying to say in terms of addiction, availability, and avoidability [of carbs] it would be clearer. That's my interpretation of what you were trying to say, which might be wrong.

The body does not need exogenous carbohydrates, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Carbs are a useful tool but they are also easy to abuse. The body is perfectly capable of deriving carbohydrates from essential fats and es

I'm someone who did a few things after reading a research paper attempting to quantify the detrimental effects of climate change. I no longer own a car, I bike everywhere. I work remote 100%. I do not eat beef if I can help it anymore.

I agree with you on your technical points; however, I still think it's a good analogy to use until something better with reach enters users minds. Perhaps there is a better concrete example I haven't thought of. I'm curious t

I think there may be better role models but I have a hard time finding ones that are jargon-free (to a degree, "pipes" and other terms are jargon but generally accessible to people who work with Linux), approachable, and functiona

I agree that over use of a phrase can dilute a message but I think you're not acknowledging something important. The phrase "Unix Philosophy" is a concrete, functioning example of compositionality. Git is a pretty heavyweight

Only if your program doesn't type-check ;)

It certainly inherits a lot from that culture but there's a fast-growing number of industry programmers using Haskell that are bringing more approachable styles to the language; most notably: using partial functions as little as possib

It's uncommon to see single-letter datatype names; the general idea being that designing your programs with a data-type orientation should provide the kind of description you're looking for; type variables are very often single

It has a lot of application in functional programming languages, thinking of my programs algebraically has had a meaningful effect on what feels like "clearer expression of thought" in my code.

I'm interested in what you've said here. Do you have a few books to recommend?

Sure, we'll all sit down and stop engaging in the issue... Nothing to do here, this is entirely a non-male's problem! Sarcasm aside, you're also not helping. Even if someone is off-base in their opinion or what they're w

Depends on the type of yoga too, I imagine. I've been rolling out my hip and practicing Bikram's yoga for a while with excellent results. One of the features of Bikram's is the number of "compression postures" but n

JIRA is not that bad. It was pretty stagnant for a while but they've been improving it. I think JIRA is an invaluable knowledge capture tool, particularly when you're tracking down a difficult root cause and you want to keep a bun

What's wrong with it becoming a service you pay for? This is, in-fact, what you get when you entrust someone else's Software As a Service with your data and workflows... You do not own it, they do and it is their right to charge f

I use NixOS for my full-time development laptop and it's great. Declaratively specified OS environments are the bees knees.

What does presence use for its persistence layer? For its gossip protocol? Are you using plumtree, a fork, or something home rolled? Are you aware of Christopher's work with Lasp and the delta-CRDTs? This sounds great and it's ver

NixOS and nixpkgs is very functional, we use it in production at the company I work for and I also use it as my full-time laptop OS (it's great as a laptop OS).
