That is only partly true: you don't need dietary saturated fats, but you do need essential fats (omega-3 and omega-6), which are polyunsaturated. However, sugar does not have all sorts of uses biologically; it has only one: as one (but not the only one) source of energy.
This sounds cool! I have to say I've been looking for a CMS like this, never having found the time to write one. It ticks all the right boxes: simple, open source, uses Markdown so many years from now it will still be usable the same way. Last but now least, Git-backed blog. Can't wait to try it out.

Re:RISC-V isn’t as interesting as you think on Tuesday February 02, 2021 @12:35PM (#26003900)
I see so many comments here about RISC-V fragmentation. This is not my expertise, so correct me if I am wrong, but if this means that the particular RISC-V CPU has to be able to execute some instruction, from what I understand the RISC-V designers expect to happen is missing instructions will be implemented in software.

So if the CPU runs into an instruction that it doesn't understand, this will trigger a missing instruction trap and software can implement the instruction. Fragmentation problem solved, no?

> However, the "bazaar" is also a bit of a myth in this regard. I'm not really aware of any open source projects where I can go submit a PR without talking to anybody and have the expectation that it'll be merged without discussion.

I am aware of one, but an important one: ZeroMQ. Thanks to the late Pieter Hintjens, this project has C4 model. I have not seen any other project where I submitted a PR and maintainer accepted it less than half-hour later, no questions asked. And it works wonderfully; ZeroMQ is live and well.
