As in my other comment, I see more benefit from cutting wheat than sugar. But to your question, keeping your blood sugar low, and then exercising, helps your metabolic flexibility, i.e. your body's ability to generate energy from fat. So the best answer is, do both.
I miss rdio, before Spotify. I loved how in Rdio, you could search for a song, and then the next song after the one you play would be from that album. In Spotify, the search results begin playing! It's so frustrating.

I think simple carbohydrates are a much bigger silent evil than even alcohol and opioids.

Alcohol and opioids at least have a stigma, and most governments enforce marketing and public health information accordingly. Starch and sugar can never be appropriately demonized because they are "just food", and have some of the largest companies in the US behind them.

The advent of processed food has created 2 entire generations of obese, insulin resistant people. The marketing starts as young as possible, and it is normalized to not think twice about eating sugar all day.

I'm still trying to get over the fact that the FDA actually banned partially hydrogenated oil. Very surprising that they said no to the entire processed food industry in such a big way, to the benefit of consumers. I'm sure the food conglomerates went into it knowing they had other options like interesterified oils up their sleeves, though.

Is the author essentially saying "outsource the development?

As a consultant, I'm expecting to sit with the client, figure out their problem, and provide a solution. I charge based on the project and provide a breakdown of how much they'll pay for each deliverable and when it'll be available. The customer doesn't have to care who does the work (it'll probably be me), provided the deadlines are met, and at anytime the client can stop (they'll pay for any in-progress work).

Is that what the author is saying? Or are they saying to avoid taking any responsibility over the development process? Subcontracting is always an option, so if there's too much work, outsourcing is an option. I just don't feel comfortable just delivering a design, but I can if that's objectively better.

Sorry, I didn't answer your question. Yes, to some extent, they just can't find someone else to do their project. I've got a kind of bizarre mix of skills I guess.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "highly-targeted". I don't look for clients, they just fall in my lap. They probably fall in my lap because I have those skills (and some others). The typical job goes something like this: someone I've worked with before asks me if I'm available and if I could do something like X. I tell them, "Why yes, I'm an expert in X, as far as you know." (Just kidding.)
We're migrating an app from Ruby to NodeJS, and I keep hoping it'll get better, but everywhere I look, from the inconsistency and constant shifting of language semantics to the immaturity of the ecosystem, and how the former practically enshrines the latter, I can confidently state that Javascript is an objectively worse language. Attempts to solve problems caused by Javascript only make the whole thing worse.

At the moment, I actually prefer vanilla javascript to ES6-7. ES6 is inconsistent in awful ways. You still can't rely on bindings to stay put and new additions like the splat operator just don't work the same way all the time.

The more I learn JS, the more I hate it. I think eventually the web development community will come around, Node will lose mindshare, and compile-to-js languages will find their place in the sun again.

I suspect that people who actually like the language are experiencing a form of Stockholm Syndrome.

But this eventually make read a lot about how databases are built and eventually I cross to that paper. I start investigating about the relational model and discover that in fact, is much more simpler and versatile than I think, so I'm building a full relational language as by-product.

Can you clarify what you mean? I might have misunderstood you. I was a little flabberghasted that you seemed to say that there's no causality between sugar and insulin resistance. Based on everything I've been reading in the past 10 years, there's very clear causality between insulinogenic foods, insulin resistance, and body fat. The mechanisms, I thought, were also very well understood.

The only abuse scenario I’ve seen on the app so far myself is people of color continually having their images shared as suspicious while walking down the sidewalk. Maybe that says more about my area than anything, but that’s a potential problem.

That, and a lady posted a photo of a vehicle and license plate that she followed several days after a recent minor crime was associated with a vehcile of the same make and color. Not sure if it ended up being the vehicle, but this should’ve only been shared with law enforcement since it could’ve been anyone’s car that happened to be similar.

Also in the United States, you have the right to video-record anything you can see from where you are if you have the right to be present. You have the right to record any happenings on or in your dwelling and its curtilage. There is no question whatsoever that everyone has the right to mount a doorbell camera and do whatever they like with the recordings.

The only exception is that if you are not in a single-party consent state, you might not be able to record the audio. It is unlikely that a legally protected conversation would be happening in mic range of the camera, though.

Here's the way I've always thought about it.

If you're walking in a bad neighborhood at 3am and you get mugged, should you have chosen your path more wisely? Maybe. But would anybody say that _because you chose to walk in a bad neighborhood and you got mugged, the mugger isn't at fault and shouldn't be prosecuted for the crime they committed_?

No, probably not. Mugging is a crime, and just because you put yourself in a situation where you're more likely to get mugged doesn't make it less of one.

Why does the same not apply to sexual assault?
> Macros are way more powerful than functions. They can hide way more side effects, can fill a namespace, and can surprise you on many other ways.

Abstractions that surprise you are bad. That doesn't mean the tool used was necessarily bad.

> This wouldn't be a problem if those surprises were rare and clearly marked, but the entire reason for macros to exist is to carry the surprises.

See above RE: surprised. Also, I can usually identify a macro from indentation, as most macros tend to have lambda lists similar to:

((FOO BAR &key BAZ) &body b)

which slime will pickup on and indent appropriately.

> It's not that macros are bad by themselves, but they shouldn't be used often.

If by "use" you mean "write" I agree. I do write macros far less often than I write functions, and this is common advice for lisp programmers anyways.

> Besides, powerful tools do not get well together with dynamically typed languages.

Not all lisps are dynamically typed, even common lisp has optional type declarations and typed racket takes this further. Also the GP post suggested Ruby, so that's not a great alternative by this argument.
My best strategy is to avoid the distractions from the get go.

I don't browse the web until I finish my workday.
If I need to look up something (which must be work related) I just browse the minimum needed to get the answer. I don't browse to the related links.

With my smartphone is the same. I turn off all notifications and leave it in my bag (if I'm at office) or in another room (if I'm working from home).

My focus, calmness and confidence skyrocket when I do this.
Vice President of the Open Source Initiative here.

MongoDB submitted this new license for approval by OSI at the same time that they announced that they'd relicensed all of their code. We wish they'd started the process prior to the announcement, but what's done is done. The result, however, is that at this moment, MongoDB is under a non-approved license and therefore IS NOT OPEN SOURCE.

As the license review process only started this morning, there's no way to estimate how long the process will take. There also is no guarantee that the license will be found to obey the Open Source Definition, and therefore no guarantee that it will be approved.

Hopefully this will all be resolved soon, but there are far too many question marks around this license (and therefore also around any software using it) right now. It's probably best to limit your legal risk by not upgrading to an SSPL-licensed MongoDB at this point. The previous AGPL-licensed version should always be available.
To me it is much more about having a clear mind and not feeling stressed out. In that situation I have room for more things and I am easily motivated to work on something new, just anything I feel like.

The State of the Octoverse 2018
Allowing workplace romances inherently entails romantic advances between coworkers (some, or all of which constitute harassment depending on your views on the acceptability of asking out coworkers). If women are put off by these advances (as stated in the original comment to which I replied) one would expect that women would be more interested in halting this. But interestingly, women at my company seem to value the chance at making relationships with coworkers more than stopping advances from coworkers.
"Software as a service" is a well understood concept, and on the strength of that understanding, the SSPL is clear. (Although as with all things there are edge cases, there aren't more edge cases with the SSPL than with other licenses.)

If your web app uses MongoDB (or any SSPL licensed software) to provide a value that is not substantially MongoDB itself, you are not making the software available as a service. If your code facilitates making MongoDB's features available to other users, you are providing MongoDB as a service and are obligated to make all that code available under the SSPL.
> comfy taking OSS work, doing a ton of proprietary development on it, and leaving the companies who did all the groundwork flailing in the wind

Well, that's one way to put it I guess. I personally am OK with anyone taking my work and doing a ton of proprietary development on it. I wouldn't put it out there that way if I wasn't (and don't w/ my proprietary stuff).

We need to stop demonizing restrictionless development. Same with commercial/copy-left development of course, but I'm seeing too much copy-left righteousness these days. To each their own. Also, we need to stop being so prideful in our work that we consider some uses of it an affront. Sometimes when you make things available to the world at large sans restrictions you have misusers. That's ok. But hating the proverbial man tends to only negatively affect downstream users at large. MongoDB can do what it wants, and should commercialize where it wants, but all this corporate hatred coupled with openness righteousness should stop being used as justification.

> _Also_ I bet some random licensing folks are crapping their pants at IBM right now. I'm ashamed at how funny that is.

So are their customers and all users who lost some freedoms today because of perceived self-righteousness. Ashamed is a fair word for grinning after pivots like these, but I definitely don't see a problem with the pivot itself. Again, to each their own.

> Having four USB-C ports with identical capabilities on a MacBook pro is a more pragmatic and flexible solution to have, when compared to MagSafe.

Four ports costs extra. The base model, which is ostensibly also a "pro" computer, only has two ports. That's one for power and one for everything else. If all of the pro machines came with four ports, then complaints about the USB-C transition wouldn't be so great.
So let me get this..

Google allows 3rd parties to use their OS, allows 3rd party app stores, etc but gets a huge fine for bundling their own native app store.

Apple doesn't allow 3rd parties to do anything and you need to use their app store but they're totally fine here.

Of course burning my front lawn would never be allowed and I understand the reasons for that but ever since humans arrived (15,000 years or so ago) California grasslands would burn quite often.

> Also, this is a fallacy.

What is a fallacy? I asked a question.

Non-technical users will never modify their software. The act of doing so would recategorize them as "technical". I don't see any fallacy here?

The most likely interpretation of your comment is, you're assuming an argument that I am not making.

> Just because "typical user" won't care or won't be able to do something doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to build and popularize platforms that do right things.

That's a disagreement with an argument I did not make.

> Of course it also has to be good at what users actually do care for to have any chance of taking off, but that's not the point.

What is the point, even?

I just asked how something being "open source" (to borrow the scare quotes) is more desirable to users who do not read/write software code? What is their incentive supposed to be to prioritize open source over proprietary software?

That's not an argument. It's certainly not a fallacious one.

> Even though I'm not a "non-technical" user, I don't review crypto of my XMPP client.

Little bit of background: I'm the sort of person who would review the crypto of an XMPP client.

As i mentioned, commercial farming leads to less nutrient dense food.

The processes of digestion, metabolization, assimilation, and elimination each take energy and nutrients to work. Foods grown in low-vitamin dense soil inherently have less nutrients to provide the organism which consumes them.

Be cautious in your assumption that everything is great with commercially farmed food. Widespread disease, reliance on stimulants like coffee, energy drinks, and even as extreme as ADHD medicine being given to children - even though the effects are almost identical to those of people being on cocaine - are becoming more widespread the more prevalent commercial farming becomes.

The rate of cancer in 1900 was 1 in 30,

I have an old app deployed to App Engine. The app itself is rock solid and chugging along fine (I touch it once a year or so), but I dreaded having to deploy it due to the lack of vendoring support and other... peculiarities of the Go runtime. Glad to see this is no longer an issue!
