It's not a modern disease, it simply has exploded in occurrence. This explosion is modern. This is likely due to our diet. There's a book called "the blue zones" that dives into healthy diets and lifestyles that have his

Ketosis is probably our rudimentary "wintersleep mode". Rudimentary as we are basically tropical animals (look at our lack of fur). We should not eat for ketosis. But we can eat (restricted to fat and protein) and still stay in ke

Humans are bad at lipogenesis: we can only convert tiny fraction of the carbs into fat. Thus: the fat your eat is largely the fat you wear. You cannot explain it otherwise (without showing a undiscoverd way humans can convert carbs into fat

I'd expect a "Show HN" post to at least explain a bit how they built it (or even better link to some browsable source repo if it's open source). Apart from the nit-pick: nice work! I had a look at the source, proper mini

I used to worry about climate (80s), now I dont (20s). Why? 1. Too many lies. In the 80s the water level was rising, but it didn't. Then acid rains would kill all, but did not. Then ... 2. I cannot change it. Using fossils (or other te

The "JS problem" is two sided: (1) we need JS (well, not anymore, there's WASM now too), and (2) many devs do not like the DX of JS (me included). This project, if anything, follows a JS-on-backend-and-frontend and thus is mo

Dunno what I hope for more: better internal architecture or more HW compatibility. I think the latter drives adoption more than the first.

Sure, but the benefit from being even partly compatible (same structs with same names, etc -- or maybe some compatibility layer) are great as Linux' devices drivers can then be ported more easily. On one end device drivers in Rust are

Compatible means "syscall compatible" (I get that from the article). I wonder if it also means kernel module compatible (I dont think so, as the API touch point surface is much larger), but if it strives to be that'd be great

I'd say knowingly trying to claim an attack that did not happen is --not a false flag-- but certainly a govt conspiring to deceive "the people". Not sure what's worse. And see the result: how many dead Viets? I recently

I think the `@scope` feature (not widely supported yet) would make CSS a bit more fun for me personally. Apart from that glimpse of hope, I'd not go as far as calling CSS "fun" anytime yet.

Yes, I think too the problem is lobbying. Also: if the gov't buys as a "single buyer" it has a lot of purchasing/bargaining power. The system in the US is (lobbied) to not give the govt any power, and put it all in the h
