That’s not very accurate. It wasn’t implicated in actually causing cancers. Tumour cells happen to have a high demand for NAD+, and NR provides them with that. So, if you already have tumours, NR will accelerate their growth. However also i

Vim. It replaced an astonishing number of individual apps. Apart from using it as an IDE, I also have a wiki-style vault where I add ideas, useful commands, to do lists, recipes, lecture notes, etc. I integrate the text files in various bas

The NFT “phenomenon”? It’s a code template and API called the ERC721 standard, which can be used to secure, verify and transfer digital ownership on a distributed ledger. There’s been so much done (and often right here on HN) to explain how

Enjoy! This is why I think English people had no business being in the EU in the first place and de Gaulle was right in blocking UK’s membership.

It’s astonishing how often english people foster the illusion that their culture escapes the scrutiny of outsiders. They seem to forget that its vehicle - the english language - is spoken universally around the world; so whenever english pe

Somewhat bizarre to make a list of apps with vim keybindings, when most of the functionality of those apps can be achieved already in vim, or the terminal. Obsidian in particular is a terrible experience; even with vim mode on, you still ha

Raising rates is a very poor instrument for fixing supply-driven inflation. Even if it forces suppliers to temporarily lower their prices, as soon as rates are lowered again and economic activity picks back up and demand returns, inflation

I think it’s short sighted to celebrate this. In reality it won’t reduce the demand for bitcoin hashpower. Instead it will force miners to flee to foreign jurisdictions (like Kazakhstan, china, russia, iran, venezuela), who are the least pr

It’s okay, it’s only technology. It’s been around for almost two decades and it’s open source. Nothing to be afraid of. You can conquer your fear through diligent studying. Good luck!

Well my comment was actually a reference to the manual [0]. But I agree with it, because aliases are just a string substitution for interactive shells, so they are limited. I found that I often end up wanting to add additional logic (such a

I’m not sure either. It looks more like a contrived implementation for the sake of using Rust. P.s: functions are almost always preferable over aliases

Then it’s a good thing we’re dealing with literally open source code implementing financial primitives deterministically; and not with mythological fictions.

Surely you can appreciate how difficult it is to take someone seriously who claims to have done research, only to conclude it’s mumbo jumbo?

I mean, ignorance is worthless too. You’re still getting scammed by trusting the skeptics blindly, you just get scammed intellectually instead of financially.

Alpro for example uses 2.3% almonds. That’s 5 almonds per glass of almond milk. And it’s a water extraction, which will not get most of the nutrients out. Instead they fortify it with a modest amount of synthetic vitamins.
