ddorian43··on Continuous glucose monitors reveal variable glucose responses to the same meals
> not eating cake sucks more than having to plan to eat cake :)

But you have never felt the alternative. It's not just eating cake. You have to see the whole video that I linked to understand the differences (they might not all apply). Think a smoker who've never known what's it like without smoking.

Better mental health.

I target for high ketones (1.5+) & low glucose 4-5mmol (blood test 1 hour after wake up) and higher protein interferes with both of them.

How about just not eat carbs at all and have more consistent & lower blood sugar? (this was an interesting case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG8UU7P8FBU)

I do keto diet long term but for other reasons, often the epilepsy version where it's more strict and higher fat.

Use Pyright or basedpyright for now.

Will your email still work when we have issues? I've used it with great success and gotten same-day fixes.
ddorian43··on Databricks in talks to acquire startup Neon for about $1B
It's open source like a code dump. There's no support for open source IIRC.
ddorian43··on Redis is open source again
Because they think it's cheaper/better for them.
ddorian43··on Ask HN: Has anyone used Riak? Thoughts?
Unless strictly required for real for real, always use CP databases. Very very very rarely use AP dbs.
ddorian43··on Colossus for Rapid Storage
You need a very big cluster for it to be worth it though for non-backup use-cases when using HDDs.
ddorian43··on Colossus for Rapid Storage
The price of Backblaze WAS $5 a few years ago and they increased it to $6 (and added some free bandwidth).
ddorian43··on Colossus for Rapid Storage
Of what you mentioned, only backblaze is similar (object storage with S3-like API), all others are apples to oranges.

But isn't it like 1kg more water retention? How did you notice it?
ddorian43··on How I Choose What to Work On (2023)
People want the "end result" of making money (having money), not the "process" of making money.

Say you make a startup, you "make money" by working hard for 5 years, but you "have money" only when you exit in the end.

Agree on every word. They'll probably make free threaded shitty too somehow. We'll see.

Maybe Rapidoc?
ddorian43··on Supply constraints do not explain house price, quantity growth across US cities
Maybe investors can stay solvent longer than you can stay homeless, or stay with 1 hour commute, or new builds coming up quick enough.
ddorian43··on Selective async commits in PostgreSQL – balancing durability and performance
Probably higher cost to send 2 notifications to the user compared to always fsync on all writes in a SSD.
ddorian43··on Selective async commits in PostgreSQL – balancing durability and performance
On client side you know because you're setting the async-commit on a case basis.

All transactions work the same. When/If the server fails, some transactions (that you allowed yourself) may be not durable (or not replicated). But all things are still transactional.

ddorian43··on Selective async commits in PostgreSQL – balancing durability and performance
No? Can you explain?

It breaks the durabality for that transaction until a new transaction with synchronous commit 'on' completes or time passes for auto-fsync.

Go train hard in heat/summer until you get cramps. Then get electolytes to fix it in a couple of minutes.

There's no interesting discussion to be had. That's the simple reason you always miss.

> What I'm saying here is, for some of us, no.

How long did you maintain the keto diet and at what ratio and what you ate exactly?

I've read very rarely cases that hunger wasn't fixed by high fat keto (some type of eating disorder).

ddorian43··on I built an open source AI tool to find my autoimmune disease
There are many people who've never been fat and felt better in keto/carnivore.

Example:me. Another example is https://reddit.com/user/MythicalStrength who's a strongman competitor.

> often different people report completely different dietary changes helped them

Nobody fixed T2D, (some types of) epilepsy, (some cases of) mental illness like bipolar/psychosis on high carb or high protein.

Should be easy to troubleshoot on a forum or with a specialist. You probably were eating low fat. It happens often. Feel free to describe exactly what you ate and what problems you had.
ddorian43··on Bacteria (and their metabolites) and depression
You should try epilepsy keto, that is 80-90% of calories from fat, to get the max benefits.

That don't support compiled c/rust/etc libraries so you have to compile them.

Reminds me of some story where a woman petitioned for the killer of her relative to be released, and after release the killer killed that woman.

Much easier to do OLAP. OLTP is way harder.
