berzerk··on In Appalachia, a Plan to Save Wild Ginseng
When I was growing up my Grandpa spent a good deal of time in the hills of WV and KY searching for Wild Ginseng. He used it to making healing tonics for people. I'd really like to record some of the vast herbal knowledge he's gained over the years.
berzerk··on Deep learning job postings have collapsed in the past six months
I'm finding myself really enjoying this type of work and I think I would like to specialize in it. Any good learning resources you used on your path to where you are now?
berzerk··on Web Development in 2017
Basically another "everything sucks except for NodeJS and a JS framework" piece. Reality is that most business stacks these days aren't going to be written in pure JS. If you do see Node or some framework on the frontend it's probably going to be isolated from the really ugly but highly functional backend.
berzerk··on Fasting leads to stress resistance, self-renewal, and regeneration (2014)
I'm a bodybuilder and I've been Intermittent Fasting now for about 3 years and have worked out 5 days a week most of that time. It's about all timing your meals properly. I work out in the evening so when I have a noon meal it gives my body enough time incorporate the food for fuel before the workout. My biggest meal is after the workout when my body is at it's anabolic peak. The funny thing thing is that you can still gain weight using this protocol and I've used it very well to pack on some additional muscle so it's not a free-for-all and you still need to eat clean 90% of the time.
