Where does this sit in relation with Terraform? Is Terraform not able to do everything this does? I was aware of something from AWS called CloudFormation templates or something but I heard that was too low-level and idiosyncratic, also JSON

I just looked it up and the difference is about 2 years? Apparently the difference is spending is 15x or more. I also think many Americans are kept in a bad state of health for a long time in this healthcare system, and that older Chinese m

I think that is because age is often correlated with those ailments? Wasn't there a stat about a vast majority having 4 or more comorbidities? I agree, we won't have data, but my gut feeling, having been raised in this kind of env

Yes I'm sure there are other factors, including pollution etc. But wrt. to Covid the main risk factors seems to be blood sugar / blood pressure problems. Possibly because these are most correlated with immunosupression, various de

Well, the US does top the world in obesity and other comorbidities that increase frailty. I'm pretty confident in stating that the average Chinese has overall better immune system function. On a related note I've just learned that

I could agree with you a few years ago but since LSP and Tree-sitter the tables have basically turned, I'm pretty confident you can get _more_ IDE-type features in Neovim (albeit with some amount of effort, no doubt). But, again, you c

I spend most of my time inside a terminal and have my shell configured so line editing is as much like Vim as possible. Also configured Vim modes everywhere else possible. Also, although historically that hasn't really been part of the

The promise with Vim (and Emacs) is you'll never need to switch to something else, and the skills are transferable (script with Lua, keybindings very often available in other apps). Interestingly it has helped me most with cli stuff, I

For "base" Vim (pre-neovim), the Practical Vim book and Vimcasts by Drew Neil were very helpful. To get the muscle memory, try blocking the arrow keys in your config or even hiding the cursor (I'm serious, I once had this uni

Fair, but also besides the point, the post is just trying to illustrate their system, and it does it well in my view.

On the other hand only Nix (to my knowledge) guarantees truly reproducible builds. It helps that people who are into Nix most often use NixOS. NixOS is the only distro I've written packages for. It's not even particularly hard sin

Hey there! Very happy to see someone here with the same recommendation, hopefully that will boost the credibility of this recommendation to OP and others.

I recommend a very high fat ketogenic diet, and a few supplements especially magnesium and inositol. These are highly proven both scientifically and anectodally. There is much more to discuss about this, and I'd be glad to assist you b

Yep, low potassium is perhaps why HBP is correlated with high sodium intake, which I understand displaces potassium. That's basically the typical western diet: high sugar, high sodium, low magnesium, low potassium.

Everybody has a need for magnesium and MOST people are deficient. Searches will give you a less dramatic percent, but those are measuring serum magnesium, while the important number is red blood cell magnesium. I don't know if that&#x2

I know of a doctor named Carolyn Dean, but there's @grimhood on Twitter who has a lot of compiled info about the role of magnesium and some recommendations (not only on magnesium). Start with https://twitter.com/search?

I only have anecdata and directing you to a search engine. The simple query "magnesium hypertension" yields multiple results going in that direction. Also, magnesium is used to "relax" cells from "contraction"

Even if it were so (no acute effect, seems unlikely based on, err, anecdata), I've seen claims of it taking up to a year or more to fix a deficiency. It's nt just a nice idea, it actually works. And blood pressure medicine, often

by lambdaba 5y ago
Just give people magnesium, it's incredibly effective and deficiency is very common (big part of it is because of soil mineral depletion). In fact, a lot of hypertension is just magnesium deficiency.

Thank you! Yes, that was my suspicion as well.

Yes, basically if I could peek into your activity for a day it would be awesome (I'm not asking that, although I would like it :P :)). I'm just curious of what a day's work looks like.

LiveScript ( https://livescript.net/ ) has this, amongst many other things (mostly CoffeeScript-inspired). I used it quite a bit and enjoyed it a lot.
