I think about it like this - seed oils are in nearly all processed foods. Read the labels of anything in your house that's in a bag, or will not expire in the next week. 95% chance there is sunflower/canola/safflower/sesame seed oil in it.

By avoiding seed oils, you tend to eat more whole foods. It's not an awful cue to pay attention to.

if the seed oils in Cheetos are not the problem, what is it? the flour?

anecdote for anyone else reading about Covid related tinnitus - I've had hearing damage related tinnitus for a decade. Got Covid in April '22 which caused my existing tinnitus to 2-3x in severity, lasting a couple months before it either reverted to baseline or I got used to the new normal. Very scary experience. The CEO of Texas Roadhouse famously committed suicide due in part to severe post-Covid tinnitus.

For anyone struggling to cope with Tinnitus out there, one thing that has helped me immensely is Zen meditation. Doesn't make it go away, but builds up a control over attention with which you can cope much better.

where did you get testing done?

it's well known and not debatable that Cinnabon is fire

this is more plausible to me

The one service token and three accounts were not rotated because mistakenly it was believed they were unused.

This odd to me - unused credentials should probably be deleted, not rotated.

congrats! Really crisp idea, excited to try this out

didn't see any mention of caching in the docs. This tends to be pretty important for fast build/CI at many different key points of a given workflow (dependency cache, build cache, docker layer cache, image cache, etc). Wondering if I missed something.

we have no theories of intelligence. We're like people in the 1500s trying to figure out why and how people get sick, with no concept of bacteria, germs, transmission, etc

using it for an internal Golinks service

dang. Only thing I've found so far is a `mysqldump --no-data` and then a restore from dump. Not fast at all. Maybe you could pre-provision a few thousand DBs this way in parallel and write a service to hand out DB handles...

pgtestdb looks great. Looks like it leverages Postgres template DBs. We use MySQL more often than Postgres; I may take a stab at creating something similar for MySQL. Nicely done!

what is the neurovascular conflict?

that's pretty fundamentally different, no? One requires you to build a distributed system with >1 components leveraging GCP tasks APIs. The second is just a library do some book keeping inside your main datastore.

anyone have a link to the AWS summary / postmortem? Saw it on their status page the other day, but can not find it anywhere now.

very cool product :)

Column | https://column.com/docs | Full-time | Engineering | San Francisco | https://column.com/careers/

Column is the first and only nationally chartered bank built from the ground up. We build APIs to create bank accounts, send and receive money (wire/ACH/check/SWIFT), administer loans, etc. In contrast to other software providers in the space who interface with banks, we are the bank, building and owning the full payments stack in-house.

Think of us as the bottom layer of the financial infrastructure stack, offering atomic and flexible building blocks for developing financial products in an efficient and compliant way.

We are a small, tight knit team of engineers supporting complex customers and moving billions of dollars.

Looking for motivated infrastructure/backend engineers who seek a high degree of ownership. Apply at the link above, or email me directly at mitch@column.com

Good luck with your job search :)

I agree; there many odd writing choices. For example, this is a very confusing end to the first sentence:

to pay unshared attention to our mission

...unshared attention?

go deep enough down the rabbithole of a hobby/topic, and you find the passionate crazies

it's so fascinating when health/fitness discussions crop up on HN. absolutely not gatekeeping, but just observing that compared to the technical topics, there is sooo much more disagreement while at the same time, more conviction. Seems like people really believe they know what they are talking about, whereas when it comes to the technical discussions, the tone seems more curious/introspective vs. dogmatic.

idk man, go look at the fasting glucose of anyone on keto and it's probably going to be below 90. Not sure where this claim is coming from. There's hundreds of thousands of people currently having success with low carb diets that can stick a CGM in their arm and show you this is just not true for them.

it doesn't take a state actor to MITM this. It takes a Wifi Pineapple advertising a fake AP and tired devs in Blue Bottle smashing `ssh-keygen -R github.com` without verifying the fingerprint. Very simple. Even easier than trying to MITM a site accessed via browser, which will probably have at least HSTS to help you out.

You could literally go grab a Wifi Pineapple, sit in a Starbucks in SF, and MITM Github for anyone waking up and blindly running `ssh-keygen -R github.com`.

Very opportune time for hackers to try this, since few are probably verifying the fingerprint.

for sure, gauging your audience is difficult. Still, any piece of writing benefits from a good framing. Great post, but I think jumping right into the details loses X% of potential readers. Keep up the good work :)

agreed, the post is missing a clear explanation of what defines a TCP connection

you could integrate a Zettelkasten workflow with Anki. Just send over certain ZK notes into Anki. I'm working on this -- a vim based ZK tool with ability to send over notes to Anki.

totally agree. nice take.

a really great idea. looking forward to testing it out.
