Most of us here on hacker news can afford to buy real food such as grass feed beef/lamb, forage egg/chicken, etc Seems like a more natural evolutionary correct way to get our food rather than some kind of franken-meat grown i lab.

Did you measure ketone levels in any way? Your symptoms is very common during the ketosis adaptation phase which shouldn't last more than two weeks at most. If they persist any longer than that you are probably not in ketosis. The best

The mycotoxins stuff is yet to be determined, but from what I seen so far there doesn't seem to be a lot of truth in that part. The ketosis and positive effects on the brain thereof is backed by a lot of solid science.

Why not use the existing rsync over ssh and ssh-copy-id? I think newline is valid in filenames in most *nix filesystems, so the possibility to use an alternative RS would be nice.

Even if income could explain the whole difference it would still not be a very agreeable explanation. Even though it's a naive idea, I still think that everyone should be entitled to the same level of legal support in a criminal case r

I live in Sweden and right now we are automating the service industry as well. You order fast food from a touch screen, you buy your train tickets from a machine and the supermarket cashier is being replaced with a self-checkout. Meanwhile

Or perhaps it's just the old phrase "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" that is appropriate once again? Veritasium explains it better than me. Please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tSqSMOyNFE

I used to ran a production database on top of drdb without any problem, active-passive fail-over HA-setup. The major advantage is that no other specialized components (NAS/SAN/etc) is needed and you'll still have decent share

As I recall, you numbers are correct, I was also invited to the IPO, but since I'm not an US citizen - the SEC made me jump through many hoops before I was allowed to buy something. I've never been much of an administrative minded

Agree! You don't need to bother with old-school stuff like grsec, iptables, IDS, chrooted applications or any stack-protection technologies. Get a WAF, audit your web-app source-code and use a pen-test tool regularly instead. SQL-injec

That would be because sendgrid is lame. I've recently tried to use their service to send emails, club member newsletters. I've never thought much about bulk e-mails before and I thought it was a "solved problem" by now.

Correct, but if I write the upsert in that way - I actually understand what I'm doing... :) If this is standard upsert query in your app, you should turn it into a procedure and parameterize, catch exceptions anyway. Or you could mess

I prefer to use CTE in postgres to do upserts, this is a non complete example, but you get the general idea: WITH upsert AS ( UPDATE some_table SET attrib = 'foo' WHERE id = 123 RETURNING * ) INSERT INTO som

Strace is easy to use, commonly available, and very useful in many situations. More modern tools such as dtrace for the solaris and systemtap for linux addresses similar problems but with a broader coverage.

We use computers to help us solve so many more problems today then we ever have before and we have much higher expectations of IT-system today. So, the metal scraps used for this keeps piling up in data centres all over the world. Anecdotal
