Regrowing teeth has been "coming very soon" for like 20 years. So I would take their predictions with a pinch of salt. Then again, we didn't understand methylation - we are starting to get that. I expect breakthrough about 5

Differentiation of the cells. We can get stem cells from fat, blood, bone marrow etc. We can increase their lifespan (Hayflick limit) by lenghtening telomeres. Last time I checked we were starting to understand how to turn some cells plurip

Whoever read this - please please please ignore the posts that suggest to just play with numbers. This is the equivalent of suggesting to someone who wants to learn how to code to copy-paste formulas into excel. Just don't be that pers

Well, with impaction causing deformation of the remaining bones, risk of infection etc I think I will wait until we can reprogram stem cells to make cartilage

That's true. So on my own servers, software I write gets a pass and is run as root after a while. As for context swicthing etc I need some unixy bases. Instead of reinventing everything, I've found in practice that the linux kerne

For zero overhead, I have this weird idea of shipping source code, recompiling it with all the optimizations needed, and executing it without virtualization but under a different user id. So I stick to ./configure ; make ; make instal

That's interesting and original but rarely said here. Only other mention of Pascal divertissement I could find: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9450559

GSK3 inhibitors are interesting, but we don't understand much the subtypes that are likely to exist: "GSK-3 appears to both promote and inhibit apoptosis, and this regulation varies depending on the specific molecular and cellular

It's not capitalism, which is why I say it's the best thing that can happen in the future. India has been slowly moving away from the license raj, and turning more capitalist little by little.

You clearly have an ideological opposition to capitalism, and that taint your views. The Bible or the Quran can't protect you for the human natural desire and need to make money. You should google about islamic banks to know what happe

Funny I do that in perl, and some people freak out about having code in an unfashionable language generating code in another language. It's just equivalent to a preprocessor.

For managing a complex set of daemons, systemd is the thing. I only wish that rules did integrate with system monitoring to have conditions (ex: something like StopWhenLoadThreshold_40=xx, StartWhenDiskFreeThreshold=99% )

Interesting. Why do you care about graceful shutdown? Why not kill ASAP and restart? Do you have problems with load booming up sometimes?

As timescaledb is now banned with all third party extensions, I don't have a server where I can reproduce that. But it was 100% reproducible on a very simple routine scenario (add many records to an existing timescale db) Just try to d

This, so much.

Ah, timescaledb. They are funny. I tried them really hard. I was rooting for them. Then it bit me: death by a thousand papercuts One of the many papercuts was actually more serious, to the point it was funny: I remember how in their stable

TLDR: statistics only offer summaries, hiding things that may be very important. But these things can't be seen: you hit a complexity problem if you try to consider absolutely everything. It's like when the curse of dimentionality

You seem very interested in imposing your cultural values on teens from other countries, who seem to have produced in a few month more than what the average HN commenter will achieve in years.

It's like, what, 6 month of pay. Considering 2 people died, and this slap on the wrist is 6 month of wages, divide by two and that's 3 month pay for every dead worker. Will the executive have to pay out of their pocket? If so, eac
