I think about it like this - seed oils are in nearly all processed foods. Read the labels of anything in your house that's in a bag, or will not expire in the next week. 95% chance there is sunflower/canola/safflower/ses

if the seed oils in Cheetos are not the problem, what is it? the flour?

anecdote for anyone else reading about Covid related tinnitus - I've had hearing damage related tinnitus for a decade. Got Covid in April '22 which caused my existing tinnitus to 2-3x in severity, lasting a couple months before it

>The one service token and three accounts were not rotated because mistakenly it was believed they were unused. This odd to me - unused credentials should probably be deleted, not rotated.

didn't see any mention of caching in the docs. This tends to be pretty important for fast build/CI at many different key points of a given workflow (dependency cache, build cache, docker layer cache, image cache, etc). Wondering

we have no theories of intelligence. We're like people in the 1500s trying to figure out why and how people get sick, with no concept of bacteria, germs, transmission, etc

dang. Only thing I've found so far is a `mysqldump --no-data` and then a restore from dump. Not fast at all. Maybe you could pre-provision a few thousand DBs this way in parallel and write a service to hand out DB handles...

pgtestdb looks great. Looks like it leverages Postgres template DBs. We use MySQL more often than Postgres; I may take a stab at creating something similar for MySQL. Nicely done!

what is the neurovascular conflict?

by fierro 3y ago
that's pretty fundamentally different, no? One requires you to build a distributed system with >1 components leveraging GCP tasks APIs. The second is just a library do some book keeping inside your main datastore.

anyone have a link to the AWS summary / postmortem? Saw it on their status page the other day, but can not find it anywhere now.

I agree; there many odd writing choices. For example, this is a very confusing end to the first sentence: > to pay unshared attention to our mission ...unshared attention?

it's so fascinating when health/fitness discussions crop up on HN. absolutely not gatekeeping, but just observing that compared to the technical topics, there is sooo much more disagreement while at the same time, more conviction

idk man, go look at the fasting glucose of anyone on keto and it's probably going to be below 90. Not sure where this claim is coming from. There's hundreds of thousands of people currently having success with low carb diets tha

it doesn't take a state actor to MITM this. It takes a Wifi Pineapple advertising a fake AP and tired devs in Blue Bottle smashing `ssh-keygen -R github.com` without verifying the fingerprint. Very simple. Even easier than trying to

You could literally go grab a Wifi Pineapple, sit in a Starbucks in SF, and MITM Github for anyone waking up and blindly running `ssh-keygen -R github.com`. Very opportune time for hackers to try this, since few are probably verifying the f

for sure, gauging your audience is difficult. Still, any piece of writing benefits from a good framing. Great post, but I think jumping right into the details loses X% of potential readers. Keep up the good work :)

you could integrate a Zettelkasten workflow with Anki. Just send over certain ZK notes into Anki. I'm working on this -- a vim based ZK tool with ability to send over notes to Anki.
