I'm not really in a position to suggest a good book on viruses. I found out about this from a pop-sci book on latest research on aging and longevity. When it comes to viruses though, there's one more very fascinating hypothesis. T

It is also being researched how endogenous retroviruses are part of aging. The very rough idea being that at some point long in past a retrovirus became endogenous and provided a pathway for aging increasing the evolutionary rate of that or

I was pretty salty at Google at that time. But in hindsight I'm really happy it panned out that way. I'm now in a lot more comfortable situation with respect to having much wider options of what I can do professionally than it wou

I used to run a content website many moons ago. No spammy articles, focused onto a single tech topic, a moderate amount of ads (Google), well researched articles. Then one day my organic Google traffic fell by some 80%. If I remember correc

Regarding the main point of the article. I do agree that it's very important to not get stuck in local maxima. However, I think the author heavily underestimates/overestimates the chances of the following: 1. The author underestim

Damn... Thanks for sharing the story. I hope you're doing well! And if that's the case, may that remains so indefinitely.

Does anyone know if there is anything one can do to reduce exposure and/or mitigate the risk? I couldn't gather this from the article.

This looks pretty good! One of the most important things to me when using Todoist is seamless syncing between mobile and web. I absolutely need the possibility of quickly jotting down a task when I'm on the go. As well as getting a qui

Thank you for the perspective! This actually explains it very well. So, in a nutshell, it's the difference between apparent and actual complexity, as well as a trust issue. With async/await the apparent complexity gets reduced at

Oh wow! I had missed Cling completely. A REPL for quickly testing out how something works was one of the things I was missing when doing C++. Nice to know there are good developments in that direction.

Can you elaborate a bit what it is that you find difficult or undesirable about Tokio? Or async/await + some runtime in general? So, I can relate to not wanting to pull in the dependency. But otherwise it seems pretty straightforward t

Huge thanks to all the contributors! I've been using Tokio in a few projects and it has been a very good experience. Also thank you all for the welcoming community. I once posted on Tokio's Github about a quirky (in my eyes) behav

To me the main argument for getting used to the shell is that it's a compounding investment. Sure, initially one would be slower using a shell driven workflow as opposed to someone using an IDE. However, the more you stick to it, the m

Nice. It's good that research like this is carried out. However, it's totally an 80-20 kind of a game. If we have any chance of stabilizing the climate, its only through focusing aggressively on the 80% part of the above. For exam

Software engineering basically selects for people being able and willing to sift through vast amounts of information and rapidly build intricate mental models in order to figure out how some system works or ought to be working. That's

Can someone give a quick TLDR what are the main differences to Rust? EDIT: Or rather, what are Vale's selling points to someone using Rust?

Git is as hard as you make it. It's a bit like raising kids. You don't bash them with the intricate model of the world that you have developed at an age when they are not ready for it. The police are the good guys, the criminals a

So the takeaways are: * Your Mac periodically sends plain text information about the developer of all apps you open, which in most cases makes it trivial for anyone able to listen to your traffic to figure out what apps you open. Better not

Just to add a datapoint. This[0] is what Linus has to say about rebasing and merging, and these[1] are the kernel development guidelines, when it comes to using git. Of course, not every project is the kernel and to each their own, but I fi

So you've made something cool and it's time to release it. These seem to be the options at hand: 1. Release under a permissive license (MIT, BSD) and: - Have everyone and their grandma use it. - Die poor 2. Release unde
