You're confusing complex carbohydrates with sugar.

Rabies vaccine is also given after infection.

They wear earmuffs and aren't trying to sleep, respectively.
cesnja··on Methane may not warm the Earth quite as much as previously thought
If the amount of methane in the atmosphere is constant, the CO2 from that in the atmosphere will keep increasing.

The default gofmt doesn't format this way, so any tool implementing this would not be compatible.

Yes, because they the EU farmers are given ridiculous subsidies.
cesnja··on Oh Shit, Git
I dislike that approach as it slows down committing. Preferably linter should be integrated in the editor and there should be one in the CI pipeline, but the steps between writing code and pushing it into CI should be as quick and smooth as possible.

Imagine how that would look if everybody was driving their own car.
cesnja··on Ask HN: How are you dealing with the M1/ARM migration?
Thanks, I was really hoping for a different answer, but I guess I'll have to investigate this approach.
cesnja··on Ask HN: How are you dealing with the M1/ARM migration?
According to Kaniko documentation [1], they don't really support cross-platform compilation. Do you solve that by having both amd64- and arm64-based CI/CD runners?

cesnja··on Meal of a lifetime: what to eat at every age
Some Sunday reading below.

Low intake of dietary cholesterol can prevent heart disease: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16596800/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3052353/

Reducing ... dietary cholesterol ... reduces LDL cholesterol: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9101427 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12566134 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11593354 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24139973 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2174214 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12716665

As LDL cholesterol increases (and HDL cholesterol decreases), artery plaque increases: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14623804

The greatest impact on lowering total and LDL cholesterol comes from reducing saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, and increasing fiber-rich complex carbohydrates: http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/95/12/2701.full

Increased total cholesterol is associated with increased risk of several cancers:

Increased cholesterol levels may increase breast cancer development: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22867847

Increased LDL cholesterol in breast tissue may reduce survival time of breast cancer patients: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3081176

High dietary cholesterol intakes may have undesirable effects related to the development of coronary artery disease: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16549459

Dietary cholesterol may accelerate atherosclerosis: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12562864

Dietary cholesterol is harmful to the arteries: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21076725

High cholesterol increases breast cancer risk: http://www.pcrm.org/health/medNews/high-cholesterol-increase...

High cholesterol levels lower fertility: http://www.pcrm.org/high-cholesterol-levels-lower-fertility

High cholesterol intake is associated with increased type 2 and gestational diabetes: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21324948

High total and LDL cholesterol are associated with cognitive impairment in old age: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11890840 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16156481 http://www.sciencemag.org/content/294/5542/508.summary http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0361923011... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11571339

Reduction in cholesterol level benefits stroke, total, and cardiovascular mortality risk: http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=417802

cesnja··on Meal of a lifetime: what to eat at every age
So is dietary cholesterol linked to in-blood cholesterol or not? In either case you'd be better off lowering the intake.
cesnja··on Safer Enums in Go
There are linters available that help you do the "just trust me to" part.

Edit: https://github.com/nishanths/exhaustive is available in golangci-lint

cesnja··on I put my whole life into a single database
Toshl is a finance tracker (and much more) with bank integrations. I don't use it, but I guess you could outsorce this type of work to the app.

cesnja··on Just say no to :latest
Renovate is great, far better than relying on somebody remembering to upgrade dependencies in 12 different places.

But if you want full coverage, there will be a need to write a few regex managers. And testing can only be done in production on the mainline branch. The best way I found to do that was forking the repo to configure and try out renovate separately.

cesnja··on Slovio, an international simplified Slavic language
On the other hand we commonly omit the "I"/"Jaz" in Slovenian - there's more than enough info in the conjugated verb.
cesnja··on Heart-disease risk soars after Covid, even with a mild case
Given this article was written almost a year ago, should we consider it a bit too old for dismissing newer discoveries?
cesnja··on My seatbelt rule for judgment
I almost always welcome such initiatives because the new team member brings a fresh perspective and is unencumbered by our existing knowledge. And they don't have that many responsibilities yet, thus they can focus on the code itself. But good test coverage and thorough reviews are necessary to do this.
cesnja··on Gut microbe linked to depression in large health study
> what are the practical steps one takes to "repair" or "renew" their gut?

Look up nutritionfacts.org and read/view it with a generous pinch of salt. A few years ago it took me half a year to switch to a mostly WFPB diet advertised there and I had no issues whatsoever. My gut is now more resilient, I remember having problems with bloating and/or diarrhea if I ate just a bit more fiber some days.

> why aren't we focusing on making healthier decisions for our diet, exercise, and mental well being?

The answers are there, but cognitive dissonance prevents us from recognizing or accepting them.

cesnja··on ‘Farms are failing’ as fertilizer prices drive up cost of food
Grains, legumes and root vegetables would disagree.
cesnja··on Ask HN: What kind of online tools are you using, missing or can be improved?
I think Vimperator used to have `marks` support, allowing you to jump to a specific part of a webpage you defined earlier. Webextension alternatives haven't reached feature parity (yet), the one I use doesn't offer this functionality.
cesnja··on Happy New Year HN! What are your plans for the new year?
I used to drink socially. But every time it turned into a binge episode. And as it turns out, stopping drinking before the first one is the solution that works for me.

Sadly this did cause some social life problems. I had to mostly replace the people I hang out with.

cesnja··on CIA and Gen Z
Myspace and similar sites from that era disappeared pretty nicely, though.
cesnja··on A shot to prevent Lyme disease could be on its way
Fun fact, since I've been vaccinted against TBE, I haven't found even a single tick biting me. And I spend even more time in the nature now since the pandemic has started.
cesnja··on Australia to produce seaweed cattle feed that reduces methane emissions by 80%
There's also the "classic" option, discovered some 200 years before synthetic fertilizers - crop rotation that includes some form of legumes. IMO with the current state of agriculture and food production we went into a local maximum that is very unsustainable and bad for the environment.
