It's a pity they're not standard in many other languages. I'm not a fan of having to type first/rest or playing around with syntax soup and I really miss caddadadaddaaaaaring aroun…

How is that? My understanding is that lipid oxidation promotes insulin resistance itself. If anything, and under the right dosage, sugar is protective.

Well I'd say inflammation is rather a symptom of problems, but yeah, it sucks and should be avoided. But can't blame all on sugar, since some processed foods and lean meats (!) pro…

Assuming LDL is a bad thing, low carb diets (which are usually high fat diets) tend to spike it up as well, and at a greater rate. People on ketogenic diets and below maintenance c…

> So I can eat a few chicken breasts a day, and then 1,500 kcal of mars bars? Sounds great! Doesn't it? The only issue with sugars are the null effect on satiety and promotion of b…

Wow at the low-carb comments. Way to reject a dogma with another dogma. I have a daily intake of 400g of carbohydrates. According to you I'd be overwheight and dying of diabetes, c…

So what's exactly going to happen if you somehow break the chain? You're all being gamed by a flashy calendar.

I second this. Chicken's community is the friendliest and least toxic I can think of.

Ahhh... those were the days...

Smartphones are useful. They're an invaluable resource that might even save your life someday. What you really need is to lay off the twitters and the instagrams.

I couldn't care less about programming exercises, but I'd love to have some mini project ideas or examples at the end of every chapter so you can put in practice what you've just l…

Wonderful, I'm using it to learn Clojure and work on 4clojure problems. What I really miss for this purpose is having some kind of live doc feature.

I think I saw it first in Perl.

Get an Asus Zenbook UX32VD (the one with the dedicated card and 1080p screen), update the HDD for an SSD of your choice and up the RAM.

Take a look a Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell for a quick review. You'll be surprised how much stuff you forgot already! Then you can move to a discrete math book like Discre…

I really like Vim as a concept, but the implementation is somewhat laking and not so easy to extend. At the moment I'm using Emacs with EVIL (Vim layer) and loving it. You should c…

A great programmer, sure! A good developer... I don't think so :) But I'm not here to discuss semantics. I wouldn't recommend that course at all and I would even rate it as an utte…
