What is so bad about keto diet?
dawidw··on Ask HN: Getting Laser Eye Surgery?
I had it, everything went fine. Very unpleasant though. If I were doing that again, I'd take 1 or 2 months between eyes in case something go wrong. All in all, I'm very happy with the surgery.
dawidw··on Ask HN: What supplements do you take?
If you take vitamin D, you should also take vitamin K2MK7.

Do also blood test every 6 weeks of 25ohd to detect if your dose is sufficient. And don't forget to take 10 minutes of Sun while it's in its Zenith to get vitamin D dissolved in water.

dawidw··on Ask HN: Anyone know any funny programming jokes?
- Can I have something to clean input/output ports, please? - programmer asks at a shop. - Sorry? - Lady at the counter doesn't understand. - I meant... eh... toothpaste and toilet paper please...
dawidw··on Ask HN: Anyone know any funny programming jokes?
There are 10 categories of people: those who know what binary system is, and those who don't.
dawidw··on Ask HN: How can a person be more playful?
Exactly this! You're watching your kid playing instead of taking part of it. You're missing so much fun. Do simple things - moving and talking teddy bear, making small object disappear in your palm etc. and you'll see how impressive it is for kid and you'll get involved and enjoyed. Try it!

For sure you're rude, arrogant and you don't have good manners.

dawidw··on These are called opportunities
Indeed. It is such a pleasure to work on purely technical challenge - no BAs, no meetings, no customers - just you and the code.
dawidw··on Brain.fm: Music to improve focus, meditation and sleep
This is so annoying that you need to register to try it for free. Why there is no 10-15 minutes sample music to get familiar with the product?
dawidw··on Ask HN: What vitamins and legal nootropics take every day
I can't explain people like yourself. I can't even explain myself why I lack vitamins and minerals. All I can do is congratulate your excellent health and keep taking supplements to maintain my desired levels.
dawidw··on Ask HN: What vitamins and legal nootropics take every day
Yes, maybe you're right. I guess the ideal solution would be to check 25 OH D level every 6 weeks and adjust supplementing to maintain the desired level.
dawidw··on Ask HN: What vitamins and legal nootropics take every day
> Instead of taking a multivitamin you can just eat food. Food has vitamins and minerals.

No, it's not enough [1]. Long story short: to provide the needed amount vitamins and minerals you'd have to eat lot more calories than your body needs. So to achieve correct balance between calories and vitamins and minerals, you need to enrich food with supplements.

dawidw··on Restoring a 37 Year-Old IBM F Mechanical Keyboard
Is it possible to buy "sample keyboard"? Kind of couple of keys to hear and feel? I know it's possible to buy switches themselves with all the colours, however I'd like to try how they work with keys before I buy the full keyboard.
dawidw··on Ask HN: What vitamins and legal nootropics take every day
Daily:

vitamin D3 20'000 UI + vitamin K2 MK7 200 μg

vitamin C 1g

Zinc 15 mg

My main goal is to keep in my blood vitamin D3 (25 OH) level more or less at 100 mg/ml.

Because nowadays food is not able to provide you vitamins and minerals in the amount your body needs.
dawidw··on Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious? (2011)
> Yes, absolutely.

> It would really depend on what you consider "a pesticide" and [...]

OK, you're right, I agree here with you 100%.

dawidw··on Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious? (2011)
> This makes producers use [...] no pesticides

Ask yourself: do you have a choice? Are you really able to buy all products for any meal - really, any meal - that they were not treated with pesticides?

Another interesting question: is it possible to buy anywhere (even on the Internet) non-GMO corn? You know, the original one, created by nature which were possible to have 200 years ago?

dawidw··on Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious? (2011)
> American produce SUCKS.

How come? What there is Monsanto for?

dawidw··on Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious? (2011)
Due to GMO you have vegetable much bigger but with the same amount of vitamins and minerals.

So, for example, if new generation fruit is 20% bigger, you're lacking that amount of nutrition in your diet.

And pesticides: if there were healthy for our bodies, we would eat them for our advantages, wouldn't we?

dawidw··on Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious? (2011)
That's why I take supplements on daily basis. Once a year I do health check and add supplements till their level is correct.

Besides there is problem with GMO and pesticides. Later on we all have to pay for that with our health.

Ideally would be to have own food from own farm where you decide and control how to treat vegetables.

dawidw··on Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious? (2011)
> I want to enjoy eating, I don't care if it's 25% smaller.

I'm pretty sure that 99% clients would choose the one which is 25% cheaper. Especially if those products are used in (not only) fast food bars, canteens at schools etc.

It might be difficult if you live in block of flats. And pollution in a city could be a problem.

> "memento mori" (Latin: Don't forget to die)

It's slightly different (by your link [1]): Memento mori (Latin 'remember that you [have to] die')

dawidw··on The Big Vitamin D Mistake (2017)
I'm really surprised that nobody mentioned vitamin K2 MK7 in the comments.

By the way, what are the recommended levels of 25(OH)D in your countries?

dawidw··on Women’s gymnastics is legal child abuse
> how inherently sexist it is

Something is sexist when you create sex criteria. So the whole sport is sexist since you have distinguish between men and women categories in most of the disciplines.
