techn00on Influxdb made the switch from Go to Rust

tl;dr

- No garbage collector

- Fearless concurrency (thanks Rust compiler)

- Performance

- Error handling

- Crates

- they thought they were gonna use C++ and wanted interop (ended up not using C++?)

- ecosystem: Apache Arrow DataFusion

- "I thought that if we're going to rewrite most of the database anyway, we might as well do it in the best language choice in 2020"

But the real reason might be: "Rust good, Go bad" /s

techn00on Ask HN: Habits you can change to more easily lose weight

1. Avoid sugar, those cookies, or slices of cake or whatever have the most calories. Any drink should have close to 0 calories, prefer water, avoid sodas.

2. Eat more vegetables/fruits to keep yourself full, they don't have a lot of calories and they're a good source of fiber. Zucchini, mushrooms, beans, etc.

3. Try to avoid a lot of peanut-like products, they are caloric bombs

4. Try to avoid sauces from the grocery store, caloric bombs

5. Use smaller plates so you get used to them, plates should be 1/2 vegetables, 1/4 fiber,carbs (like rice) and 1/4 protein. This helps with the being consistent part.

6. Try to increase your physical activity in small steps, do 10 pushups every hour or whenever you feel bored, buy less food so you get out of your house more, get up and walk around the house etc.

7. Cook whenever you want to eat, avoid snacks that you can just grab from your fridge and stuff into your mouth (except vegetables, carrots, pickles etc.)

8. Browse subreddits like 1200isplenty, volumeeating etc. to get an idea of healthier recipes that are filling

9. Try to match your feeding window with going out to eat

10. Make a habit to always read nutrition information for whatever you buy

Eat once a day (extreme but this is what I'm doing), or any variant of intermittent fasting.
