It depends on the meaning of amount. By volume no, you can continue to eat like always if you adjust the food itself.

Technically yes, it is a food restriction, but in the end it is especially a calorie restriction which is the important part.

You are absolutely correct though.

That's a tough one. Proteins are a much more useful source of energy and nutrients here. There are limits though and then it doesn't really matter how you get your calories.

So obviously carbs are cheap food and pack a lot of calories which might be beneficial in this scenario.

You are right. I can't argue with that, but I would be careful with this as general advice.

In the end carbs are just sugars of different complexity. For example add some saliva to starch and you got glucose. Hence white bread, pasta and even potatoes are really bad for your blood sugar.

You don't have to avoid them, but carbs are not necessarily part of a healthy and balanced diet. Their only benefit is that they are cheap sources of energy. If you don't eat carbs the body has to use fat to metabolize sugar which works just as well.

It is useful to avoid carbs for a diet, because you can remove a lot of calories from any meal by replacing them with mostly vegetables without reducing the portion size at all. Also it helps with cravings a lot.

Up to 355687428096000? That's impressive!

Most sex of trans people is intersex though (either after HRT or SRS). This whole discussion is stupid from people not knowing the tiniest thing about biology.

And even then the worst part is that these documents equal gender and sex. Sex cannot be easily determined anyway without the help of at least an endocrinologist and it's irrelevant for most everyday cases. Not even your doctor cares unless you are pregnant.

It's just to hurt people for no real reason.

I almost forgot it existed. It was a slight improvement, but with a whole bunch of new problems (most notable race conditions which were never fixed) and it was made obsolete by systemd.

It was a good evolutionary step only used by Ubuntu iirc. It was better at that time than the previous init system, but not more than that and it never found wide adaption.

Bin gerade in München (wohne aber nicht in Bayern) und habe den Alarm bekommen.

I used Linux (and some Unix) before systemd was a thing and init scripts are jank. So much boilerplate and that was before things like proper isolation existed and other more modern features.

I don't understand why anyone would want that back.

A replacement of systemd with something else would be fine, but please no more init scripts and pointless run levels.

That's actually cool. I have to remember it next time I have to deal with html mail.

[–] Swiggles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Now do html mail!

You are actually correct. I just checked the manifest of RHEL and it provides vim-minimal and not vi like I assumed.

I noticed that it behaves a bit different than the version available on AIX for example which for sure uses real vi, but I never gave it a second thought. Interesting.

None of the tools are really made for the most trivial use cases though. Although it doesn't take much effort to set everything up in a simple project I would probably also skip most of it. But this discussion about tiny one off projects is kinda pointless as you don't have many of the problems to solve anyway.

I implemented a reddit frontend (kiosk mode) a while back using only vanilla JS for fun, because a previous implementation by someone else broke. There was not really a point though as it wasn't even simpler than using the proper tools. It was just for the hell of it, but nowhere close to a "real" project.
