That said, I'm keto and find it difficult to stay under 30 grams of carbohydrates per-day simply because carbs are in so many foods. I've, a few times, gone "strict" keto i.e 10g< of total carbs per day which includes indigestible fiber and I (anecdata coming at you) felt great.

The body is perfectly capable of deriving carbohydrates from essential fats and essential proteins.

Beyond the physical addiction there's also a lifestyle addiction, this is a similar problem chronic cigarette smokers who want to quit encounter. Sometimes they do quit and get through the physical discomfort of withdrawal but often fall back in because a pavlovian response has been built into many experiences like socializing, hanging outside and chatting, having a smoke as a break from severe stress, etc.

Because refined carbohydrates have been threaded through almost every food marketed to people in our society there are second order lifestyle addictions too which require clever environmental structuring, determination, and often times social support to overcome.

Social support is key and is often the failure point for most people. Particularly when engaging non-mainstream methods or ideas. Most people across many different social groups think the idea of self experimentation to be an alien or downright stupid idea.

[Edit] the body doesn't derive carbohydrates, it derives glucose.

fermatslibrary.com gets the credit for introducing me to this paper.

I no longer own a car, I bike everywhere.

I work remote 100%.

I do not eat beef if I can help it anymore.

I use the train for long distance personal travel. I still fly when it is for my company, though.

I take transit when biking would be too slow.

I signed up for my city's green energy program. I pay more to receive 30% of my energy use from wind farms.

I cancelled Amazon Prime.

I buy items locally as much as possible.

I avoid online shopping if possible.

All of my food comes from local, small producers.

Cutting consumption behavior down has, unsurprisingly, saved me a lot of money and these behaviors are reducing the amount of carbon I emit.

Perhaps there is a better concrete example I haven't thought of. I'm curious to know what you think would be a better communication tool (this a serious question, I'm not baiting an argument).

The phrase "Unix Philosophy" is a concrete, functioning example of compositionality.

Git is a pretty heavyweight tool and many of its commands are not compositional or built up from many smaller functional units. Git repos also do not compose, which is a significant flaw.

Most people have an assumption that production Haskell involves a lot of theory when that's actually more the exception I think. My day to day use of Haskell (with the exception of a few projects) is as a strongly typed imperative language. In order to use it in production in that capacity you should have an intermediate level understanding of the type system so that you can wire library apis up and use them.

The productivity gains from Haskell's type system are quite large and they compound, particularly when you have multiple people massaging the​ code base.

I'm a polyglot programmer and appreciate the features of many different languages but I couldn't imagine foregoing the benefits of Haskell's type system, reasoning about code algebraically, and leveraging the rock solid GHC RTS for some of the mission critical things we're doing. Rust would probably be my only other consideration for performance reasons but its ecosystem is more immature than Haskell's and some things are very clunky to express in rust (even with its enlightened type system) that are very clear in Haskell.

Haskell may not be the right choice for every team or project but it certainly has been for me for many years now on many (though not all) projects.

Single letter bindings are not common in production haskell code though there are exceptions where it's very clear using single letter binding names is clear enough and not easily confused, like this for instance:

    -- | Produce @Nothing@ if the first argument is @False@; produce
    -- @Just a@ if the first argument is @True@.
    consMaybe :: Bool -> a -> Maybe a
    consMaybe b v = guard b *> pure v

    makeKey :: FormatTime t
            => t    -- Formattable timestamp, usually obtained with getCurrentTime
            -> Text -- AWS region, e.g: us-east-1
            -> Text -- AWS service, e.g: s3
            -> Text -- AWS signing key protocol, e.g: aws4_request
            -> Text -- AWS secret access key
            -> ScopedSigningKey
    makeKey ctime region service protocol key = ScopedSigningKey scope' sigkey
      where
        dateStamp = formatTime defaultTimeLocale "%Y%m%d" ctime -- YYYYMMDD
        scope'    = Data.Text.intercalate "/" [ pack dateStamp, region, service, protocol ]
    
        sign :: ByteArrayAccess ba => ba -> C8.ByteString -> Digest SHA256
        sign k m  = hmacGetDigest $ hmac k m
    
        kDate     = sign (encodeUtf8 $ "AWS4" <> key) (C8.pack dateStamp)
        kRegion   = sign kDate    (encodeUtf8 region)
        kService  = sign kRegion  (encodeUtf8 service)
        kSigning  = sign kService (encodeUtf8 protocol)
        sigkey    = decodeUtf8 $ convertToBase Base64 kSigning

When you have a dominant group of people that share an attribute, I think anchoring and other cognitive biases will always play an influential role.

Not sure if being intentionally humorous here, but I think it's funny regardless!

Sarcasm aside, you're also not helping. Even if someone is off-base in their opinion or what they're writing, telling them to STFU is, in most cases, worse than their actual opinion.

Also for my hip (minor labrum tear).

Whining about a for-profit product no longer having a free-tier is odd to me. Either be fine paying for the service (nothing wrong with that) or pickup software that is free; I for instance personally use org-mode and Emacs heavily for all of my personal information management.

I also do not understand the sentiment that every product acquired will slowly begin to suck; that happens for some products sure but the converse is also the case.

To be fair to Atlassian, I used to hate Jira a lot but in recent years had to use it for work and it quickly grew on me; they are putting effort into improving their services / products, modernizing their software development processes and technologies, and delivering updates to their software on a regular basis.

If you're going to contribute here, please be more constructive or detailed. Why not talk about your ideas for a project that is free that anybody could install on their servers that does what Trello does if you do not like that they may begin charging for Trello?

This sounds great and it's very idiomatic to OTP, it's like a web app VM.

FCC certs of a custom radio used with a bluetooth chip with a binary blob for firmware is the most painful thing I've ever done in my career...I think.
