> While fat in the diet is not the best thing for humans

Why does the article say this?


We're constantly hearing how fats are bad for us and we should eat a low fat diet. The article is overstating that fact. A better statement should say that the overeating of fats is bad for us. Eating NO fats would certainly be bad for people. Everything has to be eaten in moderation.


Do you have evidence to support this claim?


There are some essential fatty acids that the body can't make but needs. So, no fats is a problem.

I was referring to the "fats are bad for us" part.


Fourth paragraph.


>> Why does the article say this?


Seconded. Postico is very nice, atleast for my simple needs.


(No, but) You should start by downloading "Automate the boring stuff with Python".


Regarding "real fruit", how much sweeter is a tomato, an orange, or an apple today compared to past centuries?

Haven't most if not all of the commonly available (popular) fruits today been refined through selective breeding to be more appealing to us? What was lost vs. gained in this process?

(I have no idea, I'm not trying to be rhetorical. My guess is lots of more sweetness and perhaps less fiber, in a much larger fruit.)


"Inspect Element"


I'm on 2.90 and can't find any weird processes running. I'll hold off on 2.91 until they've explained what happened.


that feels like a pretty week standard for knowing if your machine is infected. I will look for a virus scanner myself, and seriously think about reinstalling if it finds anything


Yeah I know, it is the lowest effort. But I'm not running it on my main system. Worst case I'll have to reinstall (unless it messes with the hardware, firmware changes for example).


I believe only manual downloads of 2.90 were infected, the in-app update should have been clean.


I found this talk by Christophe Pettus [1] very informative. The title is somewhat misleading as most of the talk has little to do with Python, but it's a good introduction to more advanced Postgres concepts. Also available in PDF form [2].

It could also be the Apple charger's design that makes it able to handle shorting of components without posing a hazard to anything other than itself.


I don't get why people complain about that. Keep the code but add a disclaimer if it's so much of an issue for some..?


The asc/desc triangles bugs me too. Arrows would indicate order (⬆︎ = rising, lowest to highest). Triangles aren't arrows and should IMO be the reversed, like a pyramid (▲ = ascending, smallest on top). I just noticed HN uses triangles as arrows for upvotes, whereas Reddit has the arrows.


Good to know I'm not alone in this reasoning. I've seen the flip-flopped behavior on other sites, and it is a pet peeve of mine.


Websites are one thing. It really gets annoying when different applications in an operating system "can't agree" on what to use. I've seen both in Debian/Gnome apps, but that's kind of to be expected from (F)OSS software as rules for UI are less strict/not very well defined.
