Something about this article is just fishy to me.

"Very-low-carbohydrate diets may lack vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (6–8). "

How many vitamins are in non-fortified grains?

"However, findings from a recent trial by Hall et al. suggest that a low-fat vegan diet (10% energy from fat) may be more effective than a ketogenic diet in suppressing appetite (27). "

Some things are done on purpose so that you consciously know how expensive of an operation you are doing. In languages like Python, it's easy to abuse convenient operations that do a ton of computation. Then you have to spent time with valgrind or something similar and figure out what the heck is causing the code to be so slow.

I imagine that your development velocity with this monolith is enabled by the modularity of your code that was enforced as microservices. This benefit will wane and if you had started with a monolith would be much worse.

What happens if you stand at a standing desk and exercise? It's going well for me. $10 in lumber to convert my normal sitting desk.

I waited about a week before contacting paypal and cancelling my order. It's been about 2 business days since I replaced it with a credit card, so we'll see.

Funny how Snowden gets asylum in Russia and the next day Al Qaida becomes pertinent again. Smells fishy.
