    This applies to all these diets, not just calorie counting. “Don’t eat carbs”, “don’t eat fats”, “don’t eat processed foods” are all different ways of saying “You just have to raise your elevation.”

    They all imply there’s just one singular thing you have to do, but they’re not sustainable.

    Your conclusion is great, it’s all about designing a sustainable diet for yourself that works.

    For those interested, science vs is a great podcast where they review the latest research studies and interview scientists publishing papers about various topics, with all their sources cited.

    They have a few weight loss/diet episodes, and while everyone here is correct about how different food has different impacts on the body, it seems like science always concludes that losing weight comes from eating less food no matter the diet.

    So while this post may be oversimplified, if your goal is just to lose weight, it’s not wrong. Maybe not healthy, but not wrong.

    The podcast is targeted at the layman, so it’s not just boring academics talking about things, check it out.






  • A big peeve of mine is when someone says they did something, “I remodeled my floors, I painted the walls, I fixed my car, i put in a fence”, when they really mean they hired people to do these things. It’s straight up taking credit for other people’s work and it’s normalized.

    I grew up poor where hiring help was rare so when someone said they did something, they always said it proudly and they meant they did it themselves.

    Now I always ask and point out they didn’t do anything. I’m really fun that way. But honestly i think the language matters. For big jobs i personally say I had the walls painted or I got the car fixed since that implies getting someone else to do it.


  • Microservice from the start may be a lot of overhead, but it should at least be made with that scalability in mind. In practice to me, that just means simple things like make sure you can configure it via environment vars, run it out of docker compose or something because you need to be able install it on all your dev systems and your prod server. That basic setup will let you scale if/when you need to, and doesn’t add anything extra when planned from the start.

    Allocating infrastructure on a cloud service with auto scaling is the hard part imo. But making the app support the environment from the start isn’t as hard.











  • No they’re not. And the tech literate people that will see that they can disable this protection and continue as normal.

    Microsoft doesn’t always do good things, but I think this is fine. If you open firefox it’ll ask you if you want to set your default browser, and it won’t regedit for you. It will open up the proper windows menu that lets you set firefox as the default.

    Not letting malware change your settings by default is a GOOD thing. It is also a good thing that advanced users can disable the feature.

    The only bad thing about the story is the lack of transparency. Having to find out about it by breaking tools is bad. It would be better if they had a changelog for these updates that say what they do so admins can see if their tools will be affected.


  • You’re right, I’m not representing the merge correctly. I was thinking of having multiple merges because for a long running patch branch you might merge main into the patch branch several times before merging the patch branch into main.

    I’m so used to rebasing I forgot there’s tools that correctly show all the branching and merges and things.

    Idk, I just like rebase’s behavior over merge.
