ddorian43··on Making geo joins faster with H3 indexes
He always comments like this. Never commenting a concrete answer. Just look at his history. Hes been doing this for years. Probably as advertisment for himself or to just feel/show superior.

Reminds me of Antirez blog post that when Redis is configured for durability it becomes like/slower than postgresql http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/redis-persistence-demystifie...

ddorian43··on Await Is Not a Context Switch: Understanding Python's Coroutines vs. Tasks
Favor gevent instead.

Maybe in a few years just plain threads when ecosystem is ok for gil less.

Just lookup how vespa.ai does it, it's open source.
ddorian43··on Zig's New Async I/O
Maybe he meant gevent? Which is better than async io in python.

How about this: hire 25% less engineers in Europe but use the same wage as in US.

What perfect landing? For whom? The house market prices have to be destroyed.
ddorian43··on Is Google Down? - EU networking issue
Yes, google, youtube, gmail
ddorian43··on Python has had async for 10 years – why isn't it more popular?
Because it sucks compared to gevent (green threads). But for some reason, people always disregard this option. They don't even read it. Like any comment with gevent is shadowbanned and it doesn't register in their mind.
ddorian43··on Income Equality in Nordic Countries: Myths, Facts, and Lessons
Keto also helps (sometimes) with depression though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7jg6wlD6gY (The Truth About Treatment Resistant Depression: Part One (Breaking the Myth))

And it's not "just do some keto" in this case. You have to be very strict.

But there are many dosages of keto diet and you have to do it correctly.

Epilepsy keto is hard for real and takes commitment. You will never eat modern food again in your life. But better than life-long-suffering just to eat cake.

ddorian43··on Income Equality in Nordic Countries: Myths, Facts, and Lessons
The whole world has been against saturated fat and pro carbs.

It will take some years for people to change.

What's funny is weight loss is extremely easy (with keto) and people still fail at large doing it inefficiently (with carbs).

ddorian43··on Income Equality in Nordic Countries: Myths, Facts, and Lessons
Carbs correct, saturated fats wrong.

Source: try keto diet with only saturated fats (like I do) and its great for weight loss (animal fat, coconut oil).

ddorian43··on Red meat consumption within high-quality diets may support mental health
Generally 15% total remission seizure free. Glut-1 defficiency is 80% total remission (20% of population with epilepsy). 50% of children will respond (helps but not totally).

For type 2 diabetes it's even better, like 70% IIRC med free.

ddorian43··on Red meat consumption within high-quality diets may support mental health
It's very hard to do, epilepsy keto. And it doesn't work on all cases. But it does work in many cases. For 100+ years now.
ddorian43··on Dropbox announces new gen server hardware for higher efficiency and scalability
I'm too lazy to find the slide deck from AWS CTO where he explained it, the bigger the total scale the easier it was to support bursting workloads by spreading chunks of data across the whole fleet of disks.
ddorian43··on Red meat consumption within high-quality diets may support mental health
Best diet for mental health is keto diet, or better carnivore, but needs to be very-high fat, and best is non-dairy fat (example beef fat trimmings).

ddorian43··on Dropbox announces new gen server hardware for higher efficiency and scalability
Its the same design. Actually, S3 is easier, because of the bigger scale, making it easier to support high perf.

The bigger the scale the easier it is to support high perf on HDDs.

ddorian43··on Ozempic shows anti-aging effects in trial
Eh, most people just wing it at everything. Including diet.

Source: have to do keto diet and be strict to stop food addiction.

ddorian43··on Ageing accelerates around age 50 ― some organs faster than others
You're too focused on carnivore being harmful when you yourself recommended the keto diet. I never said to go carnivore, just that it's better. I don't do it myself mostly for it's harder to maintain when traveling & stuff.

If you were just a bit interested in how keto really works and had a curiosity on advanced cases or followed pros on twitter you'd agree with me (losing weight is easy compared to fixing epilepsy/schizophrenia).

ddorian43··on Ageing accelerates around age 50 ― some organs faster than others
> What cases?

Example are people with mental & auto-immune issues.

ddorian43··on Ageing accelerates around age 50 ― some organs faster than others
You're incorrect again. Example, you can't do epilepsy-keto with vegan without protein powder. Most/all plants with protein have too much carbs.

Plants are subpar nutrition wise compared to red meat especially in keto.

The least harmful diet would be carnivore.

Source: 2.5+ years ketovore.

ddorian43··on Ageing accelerates around age 50 ― some organs faster than others
This is reverse. The most potent form of keto is carnivore. By potent I mean there are cases where only carnivore works as a solution or is a better one compared to keto (same % of fat). Highest quality protein & fat is from red ruminant meat.
ddorian43··on Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong
No, there aren't. And no, you haven't ready any reputable studies where people did clean keto/carnivore.

All your studies are people just talking about their diet, eating meat & stuff. And that "meat & stuff" never works on treating any diseases either.

Feel free to link anything from "everything I've ever read about high red meat consumption" and we'll see if it's true keto/carnivore/ketovore.

ddorian43··on Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong
It's actually the reverse. "some people" is every person that is overweight (50% of USA). "cancer" are studies where it includes other things, like fast food etc. Haven't researched arteriosclerosis, but we'd have to see studies being done on healthy patients with strict keto/carnivore and not dirty diet.
ddorian43··on Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong
Note that you have to eat a lot of fat. It's not "high protein", it's "high fat, medium to low protein".

> At any rate, do be aware that human biology is quite diverse and diets that work for one may not work for others.

Only these type of diets may work for the diseases that I mentioned. Like it only works for some types of epilepsy.

ddorian43··on Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong
It is actually the reverse. Keto & carnivore(with only fatty read meat) is the best. If you have diseases like diabetes/epilepsy/mental-illness/food-addiction/etc it (may) help a lot. I eat 6-7 days/week red meat.

Source: I do ketovore for 2.5+ years.

ddorian43··on Continuous glucose monitors reveal variable glucose responses to the same meals
I understand that T1D is special, but this is said for every disorder.

There are many levels to keto diet, and believe me, you can't do the epilepsy version even if you'd wanted, it takes time and hard effort, for children it's done inside a hospital.

So assuming you watch everything they eat, you can keep track of GCM, and try very slowly. Like going from 60-30-10 carb-protein-fat to 50-30-20 ratio, do they have better consistent blood sugar ?

There should be protocols to do this for T1D the safest way.

Watch the video.
