I've been working with Django since version 0.96. Still a lot of love for it, but for the last several years it's not my default for new projects though. The Django codebase is far…

A trip to the woods would with a high likelihood show that there are more berries around than berry eating boars. But my point is not that there is no competition for resources, an…

A quick look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning * it‘s hypothetical * the ill effect is diarrhea * some people have lived off a meat only diet successfully * person…

How much of the carb overfeeding is marketing and conditioning though (and mostly a US-centric phenomenon)? Any caloric excess is bad, nothing special about carbs. Demonizing one p…

Was/is there that much of seasonal variety in the African regions, where humans evolved mostly? And why should we stop at humans and not go back even further?

Cholesterol is synthesized by the liver, in sufficient quantities: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/technical-documents/articles/bi... believe it or not, by your definition carbs are a…

On the contrary, there are orders of magnitude less megafauna than plankton. And there’s a diminishing range in between. It’s easier to get berries for dinner, than boar. Of course…

Nor fat, nor carbs are an essential nutritional component. The body can not synthesize certain amino acids, but it can convert protein to both fat and carbohydrates by means of glu…

I have heard this recycled notion about carbs being scarce many times, but in this context it makes little sense. If fat adaptation is so efficient at converting food to energy and…

Greg Egan is definitely in the list of authors with the most radically hard science fiction ideas, even more extravagant than those I found in Alfred Bester books. Speaking of the …

Technologies exist that give quantitative biomechanical analysis and "before" and "after" comparison, for example when fitting an orthesis or prosthesis.

Cheese has a high tyrosine content and turkey -- tryptophan. Should one always mention that those foods could cause adverse effects for people who are sensitive to those amino-acid…

The only thing wrong with sugar is overeating it to the point of ruining one's macro proportions and going into caloric surplus. Just saying that "sugar is unhealthy" is not true f…

Does this coincide well with research on the symbiotic relationship between host and parasite? In general: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3140032/ Novel treatment of …

I started with my eyes closed and heard nothing but noise. With eyes open I caught a glimpse of the brainstorm label and started to hear that and only that. No green needle, as muc…

Amazon (likely after many years of negotiations) got itself a better deal than individual developers? This looks to me like complaining that corporations can aquire goods and servi…

Well, there is a notion that there is a Darwinian evolution of the Cosmos ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/0205119.pdf ), and one might argue that we can't be sure about the future of…

Finite lifespan for an organism stems from the necessity to adapt to changes in the environment, thus -- generations with a cycle of life and death. Brains allow to adapt without p…

ps passwords are in 1password so to get to it I need to setup iCloud. The ex-girlfriend physically attacked me and tried to lock me down in the flat by stealing the key. I got the …

I'm stranded with a MacBook Pro with a totaled screen a MacBook with an account where my iCloud is not enabled, no phone 'conveniently' left at flat by one of the I would say aggre…

While no app should ever leak data, I'm skeptical of a lot of those "concerns". Effort / effect seems to be in a non-practical area to justify even an attempt at data-snooping. In …

It seems that the iPhone 8's sole reason for existence is to cater to the conservative crowd and prevent a backlash of public opinion when Apple takes things to far in a way that t…

Interesting perspective that denies the whole field of cognitive psychology (despite the author being a renowned psychologist himself, albeit in the field of behavioral psychology)…

Bootstrap 4 is great and a pleasure to work with. Documentation structure on the other hand... Main nav section on the left with subsections on the right is totally counter-intuiti…
