Here is a better link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_overload The link actually says iron overload can also be called haemochromatosis too so a bit confusing that that page says it’s inherited…

No giving blood particularly for men (I wonder why) is good because having too much iron in your body rots your flesh: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/haemochromatosis/

I would argue that having billionaires is pretty unnecessary for economies to function well. Accumulation of more money than can be spent in a thousand lifetimes is not a social good. Tax them as much as a high rate tax payer (at least) and

Yeah, the one about the tunnels being dug under the Berlin way was absolutely astonishing.

Yeah I was trying to explain this to another developer that packages end up being “finished” eventually and seem to continue to work exceptionally well without updates for a really long time. Something about immutability and the structure o

Maybe I can un-eject given the plugins system from Expo. I do not like the way they throw all your code around though and I think this ability to steal peoples work given the prevalence of LLMs to unobsfuscate code is problematic. You shoul

And you are complaining about the complaining. Great work. EDIT: I’ve added to the problem which is ironic and just missed the delete button.

Thank you! Slightly off topic but every time new Xcode versions happen or as a result of time passing I always seem to get a messed up/corrupted Xcode project and so I end up copying the src folder and create a new project usually with

Creepy that they feel the need to know exactly where you are IMO...

When the girlfriend was living in Japan I stayed for 89 days and then went to Taiwan (amazing country, highly recommended) and came back for another 87 days and nobody cared. I guess if you did this a lot it would be an issue but you’re rea

Look at all the freedom we gained in the UK!

If I buy a phone in the EU can I keep this ability everywhere even with a UK Apple ID? Seems pretty nice having everything separate like this. I hope it forces them to allow different browser engines than Safari too.

Yes it's definitely not about winning, if you can get say 75% of Redis performance with simpler and memory safe code I'd say that is a big win and great advertising for the book! And maybe some examples of how performance can be i

by andy_ppp 2y ago
So, just out of interest how close does this get to the performance of redis? It’s interesting to see a highly optimised production product compared to a presumably more trivial implementation I can read in a book. Still this might be a gre

It’s extremely mild, not even as strong as coffee. It takes 1/2 a kilo of coca leaves to make 1g of cocaine! I often wonder why nobody has CRISPR-ed the genes from the Coca plant that make the alkaloids into yeast by now… given the $10

Eventually, potentially 10 years away if we continue to see improvements.

Arguably compared to the technical people who do the actual work isn’t this a fairly perceptive description?

On a small subsection of US roads, British roads for example don’t make any sense. However, generally I think being a software developer might be not a career in 10 years which is terrible to think about. Designer too. And all of this is th

What on Earth is going on that they keep losing their best people. Is it a strange work environment?

They should do automatic un-enrolment if you aren't using services too...

Probably because Open AI are “not consistently candid”…

It depends on the situation, if something is broken in a live system and you can login and introspect the real thing this is awesome. Obviously there are trade offs and potentially you might break things further!

Elixir + Phoenix is so great at this with contexts and eventually umbrella apps. So easy to make things into apps that receive messages and services with a structure. I’m amazed it isn’t more popular really given it’s great at everything fr
