Something about this article is just fishy to me.

"Very-low-carbohydrate diets may lack vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (6–8). "

How many vitamins are in non-fortified grains?

"However, findings from a recent trial by Hall et al. suggest that a low-fat vegan diet (10% energy from fat) may be more effective than a ketogenic diet in suppressing appetite (27). "

Some things are done on purpose so that you consciously know how expensive of an operation you are doing. In languages like Python, it's easy to abuse convenient operations that do a ton of computation. Then you have to spent time with valgrind or something similar and figure out what the heck is causing the code to be so slow.

I wouldn't eat the tasteless crap and this guy is spot on. However, some of these comments stating eating only this stuff vs eating all processed food isn't too far off.

At the very least, I would not use a fast carb like dextrose/glucose, I would say use a longer burning carb to reduce energy spikes and dips.

If it were me and he said "no", my reaction would be, "whoops, my bad". If he said "fuck no, etc", I would be like, "shit, I better not do that again".

I think the point is the next time someone goes to commit a change which fixes nothing and won't even compile, they will think twice and actually test it first due to the chastising they received the previous time they did it. Then there does not need to be a second "No". The quality of the software goes up.

GoDaddy is awful. Digital ocean is great, but you have to manage the server yourself. Dreamhost is a little easier to manage, but you don't get a vps for that price point.
