If I think --as is discussed in the article-- that the comment "would be nice, but is not strictly necessary", then I comment on this on the PR and approve the PR.

That's the hypocrisy: not seeing the block of wood in the eye of one while complaining about the speck of wood in the eye of the other.

By trying to be less hypocritical we create a more level playing field based on facts, instead of gut-feeling based hatred.

Whatabboutism is, IMHO, used a lot as a way to circumvent having to address the glaring hypocrisy: i see it's used to shut up those to point out hypocrisy.

When someone points out hypocrisy, this is "the answer", it seems. But it is just a statement, not a rebuttal of the hypocrisy that was pointed out.

Hypocrisy is still hypocrisy.

And bad things are bad things. Yet no amount of propaganda (red scare, "eew dictatorship", Uyger-genocide, Taiwan threat) can convince me that the China is as evil (or more evil) than the US-Israel alliance of the the last 50 years.

Maybe the web vault, but then we do not know when it's compromised (that's the whole idea); so we trust them not to've made a mess...

Quite bizarre to think much much of my well-being depends on those secrets staying secret.

Still a proper programmer-flex to build another one.

I'll not try though, as I'm vegan for ethical reasons.

Another reason I do it like this: I get no after diner dip from fast moving food. Slow moving food makes me crash a little, and I prefer to experience that in the evenings.

I did also experiments with fruit (and leaves) only diets. No crashes at all. Nice! But I did crave savory, chewy food a lot.

Slow food takes about 24h for me (so even when eaten early).

And that's the fibers, vitamins, minerals and sugars... The whole package.

I've used food coloring and indigestibles (like corn kernels) to do experiments on whether meals can "overtake" or "merge" or "join" with other meals into poops.

Then, I did not come up with this myself, but found a lot of anecdotals in this direction.

And... I comment on a real science piece that seems to be making similar claims.

Fruit moves fastest and green leaves. Meat, cheese, oil and fats slowest.

But we often eat combinations: and the slowest component of your food determines the speed of the whole.

Also: it's a one lane road and "over taking" is not possible.

So, eating a fast moving meal after a slow moving meal results in the fast mover getting stuck behind the slow mover.

Hence I start my day without and slow food (only fruit, herbs, green leaves, spices, ginger => usually a smoothy); and end the day with slow food (oily food, nuts, seeds, beans; usually combined with green leaves as we need a lot green leaves).

YMMV

It can reduce the number of db round-trips a lot, especially when using Supabase+RLS (or other systems that require frequent setting of configuration values that are basically fire-and-forget).

Meet Bpdbi, a library with first-class pipelining, which provides a Postgres db driver (that's binary only, as the legacy text-based protocol is no longer needed, it just takes up space) and exposes an API that's more close to Jdbi's that to JDBC's (developer friendly).

It has an extensive benchmark that shows it's on par or faster compared to other db connectivity stacks.
