Ruby is the perfect language to learn if you are a Rails dev or want to be one. There are plenty of Rails shops out there.

The AppleTV app on my LG TV is the best third party app on it, IMO. Looks and works great.

It was not intended as a take down. Thanks for clarifying.

It's becoming clearer that Bitcoin is the "currency" of the far right. For those of us who consider this ideology abhorrent and counter to the ideals of a free and democratic society it's good to have that out on the table and on full display.

Is it just me or does that read like a far-right, Christian, white supremacist screed?

Tells you all you need to know about this website and the tech community, sadly.

The increased importance of tech in our lives combined with remote work and home schooling is not turning out to be the benefit it might have seemed to be.

Open your door, step outside, say hi to your neighbor, skip the podcast/YouTube personalities.

Public health, public education, pursuit of scientific knowledge, and artistic expression got us to the point we could develop the technologies you use and love.

Don’t let those technologies be the tool that undermines all we have achieved.

Cheers.

I agree with all of this including his love of Python. Just replace Java with JVM language. Regarding Java's verbosity and time to develop, I can't recommend Kotlin enough.

I'm type 2.

Just to clarify, I'm not selling notions of curing type 1 diabetes through diet. If you're type 1 you will need insulin. Even type 2 may require insulin.

The point I'm trying to make is that in both diseases (type 1 and 2) control of blood sugar is key to reducing mortality. Reducing carb intake will result in lower blood sugar rises which will require less insulin to counter. Less insulin means less chance of hypoglycemic events. By minimizing these control inputs you can balance your blood sugar in the normal range and prevent and even reverse the damage to your body from diabetes.

...and they should take it to heart.

I went from >12% to <6% A1C by cutting out carbs, taking a low dose of metformin (750mg slow release per day) and throwing in a bit more light to moderate exercise.

Credit to Dr. Bernstein (http://www.diabetes-book.com/) who is a type I diabetic himself, but really we're now hearing the same things from Taubes, Lustig, the Paleo folks and many others.

Obviously low carb diets alone aren't the whole solution. Berstein's book contains a wealth of information on living with diabetes well into old age. It's a great read for diabetics or for anyone caring for a diabetic.

Actually this post exemplifies the problem by hijacking an otherwise helpful thread with a crapload of handpicked pubmed citations.

As a Canadian living in the US, I have to take exception to his remark that Canadian and American cultures are the same. The differences might appear subtle, but I'd say the differences are huge. They just run deeper beneath the superficial similarity. I'm speaking of English Canadians BTW.

Vive la difference!
