The idea came from linking salt to heart failure, but last I checked the link was a confounding variable - e.g. bad diet leads to problems that themselves lead to high cholesterol. It was not the salt in the food but the quality of the nutr

Ha! My parents also thought this was the case, I was a child before the internet and phones, my favourite hobby was playing around in the trees next to our soviet commie block. I had an incredible childhood with building hidden dwellings in

Ha! That’s what is actually happening under the hood, but is definitely not the experience of using it. If you are not into CS or you haven’t coded in the abstraction below, it can be very tough to figure out what exactly is going on, and r

Isn't this compiled languages vs writing pure machine code argument all over again? The compiler produces a metric shit ton of code that I don't see when I'm writing C++ code. And don't get me started on TypeScript/

If you somehow manage to get magnetic fields involved, so you are not afraid of friction with the cable itself, at 1.3 max apparent acceleration/deceleration (after a turnover) and including earth’s gravity you get 116min to geostation

Honestly we were looking at hatchet / pickaxe - similar vein of a project but more dev focused, but in the end realised our use cases were not all that complex so just built everything in a bespoke manner. We used n8n for two things mo

While n8n is amazing for the odd office automation and giving semi-technical people an enormously powerful tool to get things done, it seems it can’t really replace a real backend, and mostly because of the n8n team choices than any technol

The scratches are a feature not a bug. Older iPhones used to scratch way less, but shatter when sneezed at. Now the glass has “a bit more give” which allows it to bounce back and not break like the super hard ones from before. I’ve abused m

I was right there during the protests (as a tourist) and it was such a bizarre situation. The thing started with the police _killing_ more than 10 children. And after that the crowd went after places like police stations, some palaces and t

Um isn't that what Lisp and its children / siblings have been all about. I've written a bit of Closure it has a very clear idea that code is data and data is code. Your code is trivially serializable in your mind and by vario

Just a random tourist caught up in all of this in Nepal right now, but what I gathered was that corruption and anti-government sentiment was the reason, but the social networks ban tipped people over the edge to start protesting.

I wonder what happened with Frédéric Laloux’s “reinventing organisations”? Seemed to have so much promise at the time when Ruby on Rails was a new thing and people were laughing at DHH’s joke essay on the “Emotional Programmer”… This all se

I’ve kinda of the opinion that if introducing tests, especially the useful integration tests is hard and complex, then it is a code smell. Most of the times, especially while I was learning, making your code “more testable” has always invol

I guess this is what "Identity aware proxy" from GCP can do for you? Outsource all of this to google - where you can connect your own identity servers, and then your service will only be accessed after the identity has been verifi

Practicing and getting constant feedback is so important (and sadly underrated in school). It still strange to me how we empathise rote learning in school and have the experimentation away from experts (homework). For example in orbital mec

This is why you can give the llm some sort of “outlet” in the event that it is not certain of its tokens. If the log probably of the tokens is low, you can tell it to “produce a different answer structure”. The models are trained to be incr

Well in this analogy “training” is the thousands of cycles of sleep and moving and rearranging the brain cell connections that happens at night. That is _a lot_ of bananas, though obviously not all of the energy of growing up goes to brain

Tbh, I once dabbled in building an ORM myself (in PHP) and I did find that in some situations it was faster to do individual queries and then join in code, to solve the N+1 problem. Granted I was much worse in my sql knowledge and postgre&#

I don’t understand the hate, the only truly limiting factor for Prisma right now is its poor support for polymorphism, apart from that it has quite good support for complicated index setups, and if you need anything more performant, just dr

Also as I recently learned from Lindybaige video, war horses themselves were “one shot weapon” - you would train one to do a “cavalry charge” and would not be able to repeat it with the same horse. So in essence, even more expensive!
