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 from what can be called modern. As an experiment,

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, and not that there always was an abundance of everything, but

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 * personal theory is the problem is not excess

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 particular nutrient seems like a silver bullet and I could al

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 also essential, it’s just that th

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, things could be the opposite during Ice Ages, but that’s j

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 gluconeogenesis. If anything, we should have cravings for sourc

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 there is more fat around than carbs, why would the craving

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 Dust Theory, this looks very close to concept as Max Tegmark

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-acids? I think that's a bit over the top, like saying that

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 from a dietary perspective. A better statement

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 much as I tried to make it flip, it did not.

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 services in bulk cheaper than would be for a single person to get

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 the universe (especially addi

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 physically having to upgrade to next gen. It seems logical th

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 general reading infosec news it might se

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 that segment considers too radical. Apparently those peo

Secondary infection is a thing. Antibiotics may be prescribed to reduce the risk of that.

How likely is a reinfection, given that the body's immune system should be in head-on war mode by that time?

Yes, it's getting interesting. There are probably significant differences in chemical activity in cells that could be quantified and strictly detect in which state the organism is in.

Thank you for articulating the difference between the two. Can it not be the case with exhaustion also, that awareness and/or reaction times are reduced? Cognition certainly is affected after strain in higher order animals and muscle c

Induced exhaustion is one way to test it, yes. Can't say from the article if they ruled it out. Correlation of the rest pattern with a day-night cycle does not necessarily imply that the "sleep-like" state is indeed sleep, an
