Inuits did not adapt to their diet. Maasai adapted well but still not enough to avoid severe atherosclerotic build up, there's Maasai people ~20 years old dying from atherosclerosis.

It's not just AHA recommendations based on epidemiological studies, it's also the vast amount of data showing that unfortunately, cultural diets high in animal fat and protein eventually get the best of you.

Scientifically watching these kinds of interventions and showing they have positive outcomes still does not mean that practicing the intervention long-term is fine.

I don't know why but white on black premade theme given here is just horrible for my eyes. The text burns into my eyes and then anywhere I look I can see the blurry text lines.

I code using a black on white editor but could I guess handle non-white on black themes if the non-white color wasn't as bright.

All of the great developers (or at least magnitudes more competent/experienced than me) I met spend very little time on the internet writing comments/answers.

I'm in the camp that whatever bodily motions you learn as a young child, your body adapts enough to it that you won't get any kind of damage. I mean, we even had articles here about children having extra bones on the back of the head to counter constant smartphone gaze.

It is the weakening of the muscles that creates issues later in life, mostly due to lack of movement, gaining too much weight and similar.

My whole spine is straightened (from neck down, I have lost the natural lordosis of spine) because I've been sitting and looking at computer screens ever since I was a child. My spine is fine, I do not have any pain, but did start feeling pain in the upper back when I did not exercise for 3 years. Once I started exercising pain went away (still slouched and sat a lot).

Also, there's absolutely no way I could return back to natural lordosis of spine, my spine was straightened since I was 11 years old, my spine shape is the result of adaptation to prolonged sitting.

Everyone in sales is using the leaked emails. I have so many one-time emails that leaked (haveibeenpwned.com) and someone was smart enough to just use those leaked databases and sell the emails to sales departments.

I always ask the sales person where the hell they found the email because I just used it once somewhere long time ago.

I believe Jim Keller is currently at Intel, maybe they'll have some surprises soon.

It's so sad because there's so much more to do. Socializing with your family, exploring intellectual curiosities, exercising, reading old books, learning something new.

The human brain compute in this modern age is sadly wasted.

It all depends on the context.

There is no reason why your body should use the supplement vitamins or minerals if your diet is normal (not deficient). For example, a lot of people eat a bunch of animal products rich in calcium, D3, protein etc. and end up with diseases like osteoporosis, sarcopenia etc. Even with real food their bodies did not do anything with it.

Intervention studies with supplements on these kinds of people show that they rarely help or help very little (not long-term).

You need to make your body use the stuff you give it.

But minimum daily intake of fiber, for humans to remain healthy, is not zero.

Vegetables, especially if you eat them in amounts that sustain your weight, have enough omega essential fatty acids to last you a lifetime.

Legumes do have fat in them.

If you eat 2000kcal of red lentils, there's more than enough protein and fat content, almost meets your omega-3 essential fatty acid requirement. Nothing stops you from adding different fattier vegetables.

I think chickens are ground up with their feathers and ugly bits by falling from a treadmill.

I guess one can't sell that as food but I'm pretty sure they can do something with it.

Although, it's fine by me, meat is in its nature pretty wasteful, in addition to those 2M chickens there's probably more tons of soy protein wasted on chicken feed.

Good thing that protein rich legumes do not need much processing.

I can no longer enjoy the music the way I did as a teenager. I automatically picked up the lyrics, I still remember them to this day. I sought new music, new bands. There was a peak when I was around 18-19 and after that I listened to music less and less. Similar thing happened with movies.

I followed sites like pitchfork but today I'm just not interested. I started noticing that music on my hard drive would get bigger and bigger and I had no time to listen to all of the stuff I wanted.

I do have some moments where the spark lights up again. There was a recent live 12 CD The Rolling Thunder Revue that I gobbled up and learned a lot of lyrics automatically. Or the new Arctic Monkeys album, or Kendrick Lamar's butterfly.

What my conclusion from this is, I'll just let the Lindy effect filter all the good stuff and I'll come back to the music from decades ago when the time is right. A bunch of new music and new movies are just forgettable, even the critically acclaimed.

I guess I'll miss out on a lot of present culture but I really don't go around circles where present cultural references are mentioned regularily.
