Totally normal the first days even weeks are a bit fuzzy. Your body is adapting to a completely different metabolic system. It’s very stressful.

I was diehard keto for over a year straight. Chronic inflammation that I’ve lived with my entire life disappeared totally after a few weeks. I became pretty dogmatic about the whole thing and eventually my body started to suffer. I don’t believe it to be a long term sustainable diet, at least not at the level i was doing it (sub 20g carbs a day).

My blood tests got very worrying towards the latter part of the year and I started to have regular panic attacks and what I can only presume is chronic low blood sugar that ultimately left me feeling pretty lifeless and scared.

Anyways just my personal anecdote to remain cautiously optimistic

Good riddance to X.

What...literally everyone knew there was AT LEAST airbone risk of infection. Not sure where you got your pandemic information?

How long did it take you? What level of expertise do you have in terms of disassembly / electronics in general? Did you read this quote from the article:

"Even better, it appears the battery isn’t trapped under the logic board. That could mean battery swaps without removing all the brains first—a procedure we’ve been dreaming about for a while."

That...seems like a pretty big improvement?

He's not advocating for the brand "Bulletproof", the coffee recipe itself is simply called "bulletproof coffee", it's the combination of normal coffee (whatever type you choose) combined with MCT oil and Ghee/butter.

I don't give a shit what you believe if your entire platform is built upon "White people are discriminated against and jews are bad".

EDIT - Ah, Trump supporter, that explains it.

Hacker news is every bit as full of misogynistic assholes as reddit/4chan, they all worship Paul Graham who basically has the same world view as Damore.

New comment by thenayr in "How to Get into VR"

thenayr — Wed, 03 May 2017 18:00:15 +0000

One good example as of late is The Wave VR. http://thewavevr.com/

A crossover between game / social experience / musical fantasy. They have live shows once a week and have been gaining momentum within the VR community quite rapidly.

Important to remember we are quite literally still just beyond the one year mark since consumer VR devices hit the market. It will only get better.

I agree the Gear is not where VR is going in the future. You need full room-scale immersion to really "feel" like you are experiencing something truly new and exciting. 360 sports videos are NOT the future of VR.

I built a Kubernetes Pod visualizer using A-Frame back in October of last year - https://medium.com/@iamnayr/building-the-kubernetes-virtual-...

Fantastic framework, I haven't had my hands on it in a number of months but I know there have been some big improvements just in that time frame alone.

Yeah not much of a punishment to discourage further abuse. Should have fined them on a ratio of the number of data points they collected (100 billion). Even a 100:1 seems like a reasonable punishment for this scale of abuse ($1 billion)

I believe your first assumption was correct: "The output is the middle image. The right image is the true color"

New comment by thenayr in "HAproxy in the era of Microservices"

thenayr — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 17:01:29 +0000

It's called Smartstack and is also entirely open-source - http://nerds.airbnb.com/smartstack-service-discovery-cloud/

Having been a long-time user, I can tell you the added complexity of every service having to allocate its own port, then tracking that port across every other service is a lot of overhead on its own.

Not to mention you also have to run a zookeeper cluster and two additional daemons on every instance.

All in all it's a good concept, but slightly too complex for my needs. Recently made the switch back to using internal ELB's for every service and not looking back.

Thanks. I took NHNJL49XL9RW from the site. Looks like a cool new way to interact with Convore (possibly my preferred method).
