I’ve been told by the doctor that if I do nothing, they should last for a couple of years and start balding up again. If I do a few PRP sessions, and then continue with PRP every few years, should keep indefinitely - and honestly I’m pretty

Hmm the article says it is believed to be "as effective as Minoxidil" - which really doesn't cure baldness, more like prevents its onset. So if you're already bald - tough luck. So far I think the reality of it is: - to

Croatian (Balkan) Rakija is more like Greek Tsipouro. It is very easy to mistake though, since the names are so similar. Plenty of bulgarian tourists have been disappointed to get a totally different tasting alchohol from what they were exp

Hah same - especially in the beginning - all the moves looked like programming functions - inputs and outputs, state mutations etc. Thing is, the more I learned the more I started to use internally consistent vocabulary, so I no longer need

Well if a planet has a few intelligent species, the expansionist one would dominate the rest. If there is no expansionist species, after a time one will emerge due to mutation over time. Look at humans - there were a bunch of other intellig

I don't know why HN has the idea that IKEA is cheap trash - yes some of the things in their catalog are not very high quality, but they seem to be very consistent. But more importantly (for me), because they have such a huge catalog, a

There was an incredibly insightful series of articles at the acoup blog about pre-industrial armies ( https://acoup.blog/2022/07/15/collections-logistics-how-did-... ) What I got from that is that moving an arm

I wonder if it has an intermediary step that concerts the template to AST? I like my tools to have as much types generated from context as possible (types from OpenApi, from graphql or from sql queries) and was looking to build a tool like

I feel like this might be a double edged sword in the long run. A lot of public transit where I live (Mumbai) is subsidized, which means its not profitable to run the way it is run. That was a very popular decision at the time (help mobilit

Hmm waze is hugely popular where I come from, because of all the police speed traps it crowdsources. And I’ve not seen that as part of an official infotainment system like ever. And to be fair I prefer waze, not just because it makes drivin

I recently had a discussion with my partner about this and it was quite insightful as we fall on different ends of this spectrum. I do like the Scandinavian model of all life is precious and reforming criminals rather than punishing them. B

Yeah also schema-first here. I think this is the “easy vs simple” debate all over again. Writing code first schema is very easy, but when you start _using_ that api as part of a greater system is where the approach starts falling short. Sch

Isn’t garum a “fish dissolved in its own gut enzymes” kinda thing? By the at measure - dissolving other organic stuff sort of makes sense as names go.

Where is Mr Wilford when you need him? Sorry couldn’t resist the Snowpiercer Reference - where they connect alaska to russia with a long ass bridge. To be fair it does look like a “technically possible but ruinously expensive” kinda project

Hah I remember as a 4 year old I discovered a tree crawling with ants, back where I was growing up in the middle of russia. I distinctly remember trying to eat them, as any self respecting 4 year old would, and discovered they were surprisi

Best solution is of course “shower at the office”. I worked for a company about 1h cycling away, and Sofia, Bulgaria is a hilly city, so cycling would involve quite a lot of exertion. After some experimenting I found that my condition would

I dunno, in my career I’ve found that UI e2e tests were the ones that actually found bugs. All the unit tests that I’ve written ware mostly ceremony, to increase code coverage, etc, and were the first to need refactoring after some code c

I’ve tried to get into Streams at one point, for their promise of efficient processing of large (infinite) streams of data. Great for stuff like kafka / event streams. There is a lot of very nice functionality in Node around it - pipe

Well I guess it degrades to normal - go out of the train and wait for next train to come. The remarkable thing is when working as intended it removes the “wait” bit speeding things considerably. Locals probably have better info but all the

Hmm isn’t this the old unix idea of “layers” where each layer is built so that its as close to non-leaky as possible, thus allowing you to never need to investigate the layers below the one you are working with. I think I learned this in sc

The best transfer station I’ve seen was when visiting Taipei. They used large diameter boring machines for some of the lines, which allowed for putting opposite directions on top of each other, rather than the standard next to each other co

Well at least they would have no one else to blame but themselves. As far as I remember it was the pilots that insisted on the shuttle to be not be 100% automated, so they had to do it this way. The soviets just made the whole shuttle autom

Rotating wing aircraft have problems with supersonic flight - and the wing (rotor) itself reaches supersonic much quicker than the aircraft itself, thats why helis are usually slow, compared to aircraft. I guess “supersonic wing flapping” w
