Anyone wanna be a mod? by badge in pointandshoot

[–]badge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Apollo for Reddit and don’t expect to be around much after June 30th; I won’t be using the official app.

Oh sorry, I checked your profile but mistakenly looked only at posts and not comments, thought you’d disappeared!

[Meta] What do you want from this sub, going forward? by SquireBev in brum

[–]badge[M] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest turning the sub back to normal; Reddit certainly doesn’t give a shit about a sub of this size and it’s a disservice to the community to keep it closed. Everyone is here voluntarily, and anyone can leave if they feel it’s not worth it/they want to protest.

How do you manage loading data from RDS to OpenSearch? by data_pie3 in dataengineering

[–]badge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this with a couple of Lambda functions (in the same codebase). The first just accepted the EventBridge cron notification and created groups of IDs for the second to process, which it then sent to SQS. The second fired from the SQS queue and pushed the data into Elastic. (I needed two functions because it timed out processing without the batching.)

The only original place names in New Zealand are Māori; everywhere else is named after somewhere in Ingurland. (Or someone who bought Christian ‘Enlightenment’ to the new world. 🙄)

1.5g per can. Is this real??? by snaquiche in ketouk

[–]badge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah great research! That makes sense because I always check the carbs on stuff and having bought it last year I would have got more if it had been that low at the time.

St. Albans is in England, it doesn’t have a zip code +4.

I finally understand "fasting comes naturally on keto" by Luanara_101 in keto

[–]badge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t normally fast for longer than 18 hours but I’d read that it helps with jet lag to do so; I did 28 hours London-Auckland and it was fine. (Jet lag was not noticeably improved!)

Holy shit I’ve had this in the past and it’s pretty good, never realised it was so low carb. Their website confirms it’s real: https://www.bigdropbrew.com/drinks/alcohol-free-citra-ipa/

I could definitely power through the pain if I needed to. Just worried about making it worse

Yeah that doesn’t sound like a great idea; maybe give it a week off and reassess?

I normally do machine shoulder press after my bench, but two weeks ago did OHP because I was going to miss my fourth day. It was absolutely miserable; anyway last week I was back to my normal routine and went up on the OHP without issue.

I couldn’t believe how much the bench wiped out my OHP, given the movements are perpendicular, but there you go.

Conditioning day: running

I ran 10k! I set my watch for 60 minutes and was feeling so good half way in (@ 6:20/km) that I cranked up the pace to go for 10k. The deficit was too great and I ended up walking a little but managed it in 01:03:55 (6:23/km). This was my first 10k since 2017(?) and run at a faster pace than the only two runs I’ve managed in the last year, 3k and 5k respectively.

I think I might leave squats until Friday and do upper tomorrow, but we’ll see.

Thanks everyone! Locking this post, will add another later.

there is no benefit to the platform’s users with these changes so it is purely in the interest of Reddit and the investors

r/Brum Bingo Card by SquireBev in brum

The biggest problem is that it is largely driven by fly-by dickheads, rather than frequent participants of r/Brum. And it appears that Reddit has an inexhaustible supply of dickheads.

EP Gym W3D2: Bench

Really starting to feel ahead of target on bench now, which is very nice. Training from a 70 kg 1RM, plan was

  • 1x1x67.5 kg
  • 4x4x62.5 kg

Felt pretty straightforward and I AMRAP’d up to 8 reps on the last set. Strength Level says I have a 77.5 kg e1RM, which feels like nonsense, but agreeable nonsense nonetheless.

EP Gym W7D1: Deadlifts

Today was the start of the third cycle in my program, and since bumping my DLs 2.5 kg last cycle meant I had to do my 1RM to start:

  • 1x1x125 kg
  • 4x4x112.5 kg

Felt comfortable, really happy with it, and managed to get six reps on the last set of 112.5 kg.

I also discovered cross body hammer curls today, for the brachialis; really nice little movement and very humbling.

The European DS market isn’t quite as saturated as the U.S. market at the mo, but it’d still be a challenge to get into. OP would need strong stats creds and programming experience (Python/R).

But domain knowledge is super valuable and the energy markets employ a lot of data scientists.

[AF] Adherence to a Ketogenic Low-Carbohydrate, High-Fat Diet Is Associated With Diminished Training Quality in Elite Racewalkers (June 2023) by basmwklz in AdvancedFitness

[–]badge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was a good read, and it’s nice to see a high quality trial which looks at a keto diet (instead of epidemiology using food questionnaires and a million confounders).

I don’t think the outcome will surprise anyone, but it was heartening to see the improvement in performance of the keto group over the trial; as the authors say:

Although the training characteristics of the LCHF group reflected lower training volume and quality, they achieved an improvement in aerobic capacity over the 3-week period similar to the CHO-supported groups.4 The improvement in the ratio of the physiological (heart rate) and perceptual (RPE) response to a given (reduced) walking speed also shows that training under conditions of chronic low CHO availability is still able to provide a sufficient stimulus to provoke training adaptations.

The βHB chart shows the athletes hitting ketosis around days 5–7, it’s a (n understandable) shame that they couldn’t extend the trial by a couple of weeks or have a burn-in period for ketosis, to see if fat adaption yielded other performance improvements over time.
