gergnz··on Terraforming 1Password
I find that both terraform and cloudformation have their pros and cons like many things in life. It comes down to personal preference and how you think (vim/Emacs?).

For me, I choose cfndsl to build my cloudformation templates. This gives me the ability to actually write code. JSON, YAML, HCL aren't full languages. Yes tf and cf try to provide language like concepts (iteration, etc) but really at the end of the day they are just a definition of your environment and not strictly code.

Note: I maintain cfndsl, so I'm totally bias.

gergnz··on Radical diet can reverse type 2 diabetes, new study shows
While I wasn't overweight or obese I had definitely gained 10+KG a few years back, and was bordering on overweight (according to BMI, which is just one indicator, not the only one, and again, take it with a grain of salt and in moderation). For a while I completely stopped drinking alcohol, soft drink, wheat and refined sugar. Basically meat, vegies, fish, whole fruit (not juice). Lost all the extra weight within a few months, and enjoyed great energy. Being 100% honest, I now find that soda is very sweet, and I now no longer drink alcohol at all. I have re-introduced some wheat and refined sugar, but keep it to a very minimum and try and combine it with other ingredients. (e.g. banana avocado cacao mousse). Never going back to drinking all that soda and buying everything as a sandwich.
gergnz··on Creator of cURL wins Polhem Prize 2017
Curl (as well as many other tools) are crucial to me everyday. Thanks to Daniel (and all the other contributors of all the projects and libraries)! Enjoy your holiday. Aotearoa (Maori name for NZ) is a beautiful place.

Full disclosure: I'm kiwi, so might be somewhat biased ;-)
