Google Pay may not work, but NFC payments through yiur bankapp probably do. They did for me.

It's pretty exciting to see a small chip with an MMU. I wonder if it would be possible to get sel4 running on this? I'm also curious about the current draw, but I couldn't find any…

One of the few sites with a fun "you have javascript turned off" message. > This game requires JavaScript. Or, if you've superior taste, take out a pen and paper and start listing …

I actually noticed this as a kid. One of the early GTA games north locked minimaps, and I knew the city well. Later ones did not, and I was always more confused. I've pretty much a…

Pandoc? It might help you. If you are programatically generating content, you can emit the JSON intermediate format. If you are hand writing, you can use something more sane like d…

From what you just wrote, it appears you misunderstood what I said. Just to be clear: Red kidney beans (50g): PDCAAS = 0.88, Protein = 11.25g Basmati rice (50g): PDCAAS = 0.7, Prot…

PDCAAS is dumb when looking at multiple foods. E.g., beans and rice, when consumed together, are like, 0.99, depending on the ratio. That is, the sum is greater than the parts.

> and reading code is harder than writing it. This is the things thar gets me the most. Code review is _hard_. So hard that I'm convinced my colleagues don't do it and just slap "L…

That is quite an extreme take, and one that sounds like it was born from parroting social media takes. Ancel Keys was largely correct, and much of what he said is corroborated by m…

This sounds like they didn't think about it at all. Of course they did, and sure, their techniques were not as sophisticated as today. But there have been plenty of follow-up studi…

Not the poster, but, usually what people are referring to is all the other stuff that comes along. Per calorie beef and broccoli are actually surprisingly similar, but broccoli com…

Bioavailabilty is a bit of a non-issue. It's measured as if the food you are measuring is the only food you eat. So if it is slightly low on one amino acid, the "bioavailabilty" dr…

Notably, the epidemiological study people like to dump on the most, largely did use natural experiments (i.e. they chose regions, that, at the time, had very traditional diets, wit…

That seems to be searching for RCT's, which, I'm not surprised would struggle to replicate. Most of these had a duration of less than 5 years, while dietary related health outcomes…

Dietary cholestrol hasn't really been overturned, but sure there is some nuance. Some people do respond badly to dietary cholestrol (like you said, individual advice is sometimes r…

Nina Teicholz is not who you should be getting your dietary advice from. She has no qualifications.

I really wish people would stop sharing that article as if it means anything. Nina Teicholz is not who you should be getting your science from. Her views are not the scientific con…

When people say "fat" is bad for you, they mean saturated fat. Mediterranean diet is quite low on saturated fat, while still having the good fats.

I think git is overkill, and probably a database is as well. I quite like the hackage index, which is an append-only tar file. Incremental updates are trivial using HTTP range requ…

Yes, the inability to edit cards due to the content-addressing seems like a majot drawback.

I thought Meta was "the Party".

My personal favourite analogy is gambling. The constant microdosing of dopamine to get you to hang around and spend just a little more ~money~ attention.

I recently published an internal memo which covered the same point, but I included code. I feel like you still have a "voice" in code, and it provides important cues to the reviewe…

It still is a monad. It's just Zig doesn't have language support for monads, so it's less ergonomic. Just as modular addition over ints in Zig forms a group, even if Zig has no not…

Passing an interface as a parameter is a monad. (Io -> _) is an instance of Monad in Haskell. Haskell just has syntax to make using (any) monad much nicer. In this case, it let's y…
