Such arguments go both ways. For example, if aging is accumulation of damage and not programmed, then why don't we see lucky people who live 5 times longer. Also how come the patterns of aging are so similar between individuals and eve

This would be an optimistic scenario and introduce a possibility for the "scheduled gene program" to be controlled or turned off. The current thinking in the field seems to favour the idea that aging is a complex combination of pr

I am writing to add two other possibilities. Within myself I notice that the project becomes boring when there is nothing new left to be learned from it. Depending on the project this could happen at 50% completion or 90% completion. Take s

I think there is a general over-emphasis on DNA. There is no process in nature that builds a cell out of DNA. Instead DNA is just part of the cell and the cell can slice-and-dice its own DNA however it wants. Neutrophils even throw their DN

16-bit blends (i.e. 16-bit Portuguese) do not feel like proper 16-bit sound. Right now it probably blends the styles together, taking elements from both, but not following the required restrictions.

I won't do a better job defending Jung's ideas than the man himself in his works, but just as a friendly reply: yes, but according to Jungs theories - these are archetypes - meaning all people have a combination of one _and_ the o

In a way this is a tension between an individual and society. Children dream of big impossible things, while archetypical grown-ups just want a paycheck and a house, with a few weeks of vacation. The extent to which we abandon childhood dre

Great suggestion, thank you. It's appropriately short and more fitting than I anticipated. Specially the part about brain atrophy.

For me posts like these go in the right direction but stop mid-way. Sure, at first you will want an AI agent to draft emails that you review and approve before sending. But later you will get bored of approving AI drafts and want another ag

Not sure why this comment was dead, but I vouched for it to appear again. I also think the same - a to-do app will not help. Specially if you plan to add deadline information, difficulty and value scores. These will turn into distractions t

There were always a big group of people who were obsessed about configs and plug-ins. My impression is that once NeoVim appeared all of them moved from Vim to NeoVim so that's why we have the impression about NeoVim being turned into E

From R side i think this is mainly because ggplot2 is really really slow. Base R graphics would plot 100,000 points in about 100 milliseconds. x <- rnorm(100000) plot(x) A quick benchmark with writing to a file: x <

I work with R and not python, so some things might not apply, but this: > [...] it fixes the problem at the time, then it gets thrown away with the notebook only to be written again soon. Is one of the reasons I stopped using notebooks.

As a whole, of course you have a point - big visualisations when done properly should help with data exploration. However, from my experience they rarely (but not never) do. I think it's specific to the type of data you work with and t

I have to agree with your point about EDA. The library is neat, but even the example of covariance matrix animation is a bit contrived. Every pixel has a covariance with every other pixel, so sliding though the rows of the covariance matrix

I had the same experience with using a paper notebook. There are various systems and tips about how and what to write in a notebook to become more productive. But the best way for me was just to use it as a sheet of paper and write about wh

There is a "hide" button which lets you hide certain posts from the front page. Maybe that's a good solution for your case?

Your comment mirrors my experience with both close friends and a spouse. One time my now ex-wife asked why I don't share my feelings more. When I did she said she felt unsafe and we started talking about her instead. In my anecdotal ex

I am suspicious of that driver effect being caused solely by sun exposure. If that were the case we would see the same effect in all drivers.

Anecdotal, but the parts of my skin that see more sun exposure (forearms) look healthier compared with parts that are more covered (upper arms). I wonder if maybe gradual sun exposure starting from spring and increasing towards the summer i
