Most athletes play for reasons other than health. In a competitive environment with physical contact that rewards over-exertion and playing through injuries. Those that keep pushing their body to their limit will likely find consequences. J

Lets agree for the sake of argument that if the body does not have enough energy to do what it needs that causes harm. Then why not eat more food to deal with the problem? I think this model is missing a critical component: the bodies abili

The article has a section at the bottom "Alternatives..." [1]. It links to "JSON Merge Patch" which is what you are describing: https://zuplo.com/blog/2024/10/11/what-is-json-merge-pat

Congrats on the release! I should be able to switch from datanymizer (unmaintained) now. The other tool in this space to look at is neosync: https://www.neosync.dev/

You might be surprised that treatment recommendations vary dramatically from one dentist office to the next. [1] I am glad to know this about X-rays as well- it’s probably a useful indicator that if X-rays are not overprescribed the dentist

There are a lot of cases of low traffic applications that aren’t toys but instead are internal tools- this could be a great option for those. For higher traffic they are asking you to figure out how to shard your data and it’s compute. That

Neat little tool. I was looking for Excel in the examples but only saw charts. For Excel + Word I use coda.io. You can also quickly create equations with sliders for variables to satisfy similar needs as Tenno but I haven't tried chart

Frontier doctors diagnosed cancer in hunter gatherers the same as with non-hunter gathers. Except the hunter gatherer diagnosis was so rare that they could write a case report about it. Sorry for your loss. We all have lost loved ones to ca

That study doesn’t include hunter gathers. Certainly cancer rates increase for them as they age as well. The point is the rate is orders of magnitude less than we experience today.

Do you have any evidence you can point to for this assertion? The book Good Calories Bad Calories has a section that reviews the literature on the subject. Disease and Western Civilization reviews specific populations in detail. Nutrition a

There’s extensive literature on the lack of modern disease in hunter gatherers. Frontier doctors could get a case report published when they found cancer. Some lived long but on average their lives were short because they didn’t have antib

REFRESH CONCURRENTLY is already an incremental update of sorts although you still pay the price of running a full query.

AGPL is open source but also seems to defend against large companies and cloud providers using without paying for a license. With a contributor agreement in place you can sell a different license to them. DB sales of open source are based o

Is the WAL 1:1 with a TxMap instance? Is the TxMap 1:1 with a node? For a distributed transaction with distributed storage and multiple nodes how does a transaction get coordinated?

Jet was built for joins though- sqlc doesn’t seem able to do those.

ast-grep is based on treesitter. I found Semgrep great for simple things but impossible due to edge cases for complicated things. ast-grep is more difficult for simple cases but all the information you need is there for complex cases.

What struck me from reading Elon Musk’s (he proofread this essay) biography is that he would do things that you could obviously hire someone else to do. For example, to make the Tesla car line more productive. His heavy involvement seems to

It’s synchronous much of the time but can become asynchronous at any moment? I would still call that asynchronous. The availability story isn’t incredible either. Once the secondary is behind an outage of the primary means the system is no

This would be great for a lot of purposes but still seems to fall short for operating a db in which you don’t want any data loss. Although it is called synchronous replication, it appears to be asynchronous. That is the primary disk will ac

The lighting protocol works on top of Bitcoin to be able to support orders of magnitude more transactions off chain with final settlement performed by Bitcoin. Using off chain layers like this avoids needing to solve an unsolveable trilemma

Story points seem to be a reaction to a process that doesn’t include the proper amount of time needed to actually make a proper estimate. They seem designed to obscure how long something will take to accomplish. I think people like this bec

I think the scope is the same. Devenv uses nix expressions. Devbox uses json and has an easy syntax for version pinning.

The problem for aluminum or bitcoin is that the electricity from wind & solar, unlike geothermal, is variable. It will alter their economics to shutdown operations when it is cloudy and the wind stops blowing, etc. It really only works

Unbundling tmux is a great concept! Other tools that can overlap in use case are EternalTerminal and mosh which provide sessions that survive disconnects.
