How-To Build a Custom Minimal Linux Distribution from Source
My grandfather is 79 and got his alzheimer's diagnosis this fall. He's lived a long, absolutely amazing life and inspired me to become an engineer. He's the kind of man that if he wants something done, he learns what to do and does it.

My grandfather lived his life, so I understand it's very different from the people who develop the disease in their 30s when they were supposed to raise children, start businesses, find their career niche and maybe their lifelong hobby. My grandfather did all that but I'm still very sad. He will forget everything he did, all the jobs he created with his successful businesses, all the laughs from me and my brother when he shared his blunders in life, all the math he learned and loved ... really everything he holds dear.

I remember reading the Wikipedia article about Claude Shannon and crying a few years ago. He also died of alzheimer's and in his last days, he'd forgotten the profound impact he made on the world. I just can't imagine a worse fate, your body shutting down and all your achievements and experiences fading from memory. It would be worse to experience it as a young man, but no matter when it strikes, it's a way to go that nobody deserves.
So I've actually thought about this a fair bit recently, since I'm making some changes to C++ code that touch a lot of files in reasonably straightforward ways. The changes should be possible to merge conflict-free in basically 100% of cases, but since so many lines are touched, no VCS merge tool can manage it. Most of my changes are just typenames, so I figured, you could do some sort of AST-based merge to allow those changes to merge with semantic changes to the surrounding code.

But this has a lot of problems. Namely - most of the time, when two people change the same line, the changes really do conflict, and someone really does need to manually merge them. In fact, sometimes even when your VCS merges things happily, it still gets them wrong because two changes conflict semantically but don't touch the same lines.

So I guess I would say, I think merging is an impossible problem to 'solve', and going to a more granular merge strategy is actually a move in the wrong direction. You could maybe fix my particular case by 'whitelisting' those typename changes, and saying 'these are allowed to merge with anything else', but at that point... the effort required to specify that unambiguously and make it work properly is probably higher than just merging the changes.
There's a more interesting report from NASA on this mission here [1]. They were specifically experimenting to see what would happen to this crew with sleep deprivation. They were only sleep deprived during the week, though it's unstated how much sleep they were allowed on the weekends.

On a long term mission there will be an immense number of things that need to be done each and every day, and with the utmost precision. It's certainly important to see if sleep can be sacrificed when necessary and, if so, for how long before it starts to negatively effect their performance.

This is an unnecessarily risky approach. Don't start with ideas -- start with a market.

Do you have lots of friends whonare dentists and would use software for dentists just because you asked them to? Great! Now figure out if there's something they all need.

You should have friends and family lined up to use a specific prototype before you write a single line of code.

Not attempting to be uncritical of benzodiazepines, they can indeed be dangerous. Just trying to specify that they are not addictive in the same way. My understanding is that when they are abused in the sense of getting high, it’s usually in conjunction with opiates or other illicit drugs.

This is perhaps a more critical review, but still specifies the difference between physical and psychological dependence.

Okay, well maybe I've forgotten the definition of "succinct."

> briefly and clearly expressed

Brief, sure, clearly expressed? Absolutely not. There's more to puzzles than moving things around.

[ > Player | Crate ] -> [ > Player | > Crate ]

This isn't succinct. This is brief. Puzzles, and games in general do more than move things around. So, if I wanted something to turn into a different item, where's the syntax for it?

There doesn't seem to be any.

The syntax is seems to be for moving things. Okay. What if I want something to slide over multiple tile spaces? Where's the syntax for this?

There doesn't seem to be any.

What if I want the item to progressively become more difficult to move, say for instance if I'm moving a snowball. Where's that syntax?

There doesn't seem to be any.

So, in short, an entire syntax has been developed for one feature: movement. And it doesn't do it well. Why would I use this?

It may not seem 'fair', but the reality is that the company that the founders had equity in died in the 2015 round of financing. It was replaced with a company which needed to make a big bet (lots of ad spending) to stay strong in this particular market and the bet did not pay off. If you take $200M+ of financing then the people writing the check are expecting you to exit no lower than $1.5B -- ~$500M is, to use the parlance of this particular company, a single when the team needed a home run.

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is that if I were in your shoes, I'd market it just like I'd market a product. I don't think it makes much sense to put money into marketing a library that you built, so let's assume that you have zero budget.

Your goal is to get more users. Since you're looking for more users, you want to make sure that developers have success when they implement it, so good documentation and tutorials are a must anyways. So, I'd piggyback and turn the tutorial into an acquisition tool because hell, if you're doing it anyways, why not try to get some users out of it?

If I were you, I'd spend some time thinking about what kinds of terms people would google if they had a problem like your library solves. You can use Google Trends for help. And then write a tutorial about how to solve that problem with your tool. As you write it, your goal should be to capture people who google how to solve your problem and show them a solution so eloquent that they install your tool to implement it. Discoverability is a problem, hence the need to think carefully about how people would search for solutions to your problem.

After you write the tutorial, it would be a good idea to post it on sites like this one. Depending on what kind of tool it is, what sort of problem it solves, and how usable it is, it might even be a good candidate for a show HN. And then, depending on how much work you want to put into this, you can keep using that tutorial to drive more users to your tool. For example, if people ask about the problem on Stack Overflow, if you disclose that you wrote the tool, there wouldn't be anything wrong with contributing answers that use your tool.

Where to publish it is more complicated. If you're purely looking for users and don't care about money or time, it would be the absolute best to buy a domain and build a site around the package. That's overkill most of the time.

If you want to brand yourself, I'd publish the tutorials and documentation on your own website.

As for Medium, you could absolutely use it, though you do end up giving away lots of the branding and search benefits you'd get from publishing it on a property you control. In exchange, it's incredibly easy.

Introduction to Portable Component Oriented Styles (PCOS) with Sass
Can the founders fairly ask for a cut of proceeds they didn't contribute to? It was the marketing money spent, not the engineering or the idea that made the business saleable. So the people that put their money at risk get their return (7% - barely more than a money market account), and the founders get salary.
> Where does this happen?

What do you mean? The entire US healthcare system operates this way. Either the government is your insurance (medicare, medicaid and similar state programs, federal employees etc.), or they subsidize private insurance through tax incentives and direct subsidies for low income people that encourage/require comprehensive insurance rather than catastrophic coverage.

Then none of those people have the incentive to compare prices or decline unnecessary procedures because the insurance is paying for most or all of it.
Isn't that a bit like asking why they sold for $465M instead of demanding $930M? Presumably, they sold for the highest amount they could get. If the company falls off the hockey stick, there may be no better time than right now to sell it for what you can get.
lmao - "I can't understand why non-religious people are afraid of death except for literally all of the most obvious reasons that they should be".

It's baffling that people say they "don't understand" the fear of completely losing one's conscious experience forever. It's just vapid nonsense to say "well you won't feel anything at all when you're dead so why are you scared?" No shit...people experience the fear of endless oblivion before they actually die, not after. People want to continue living while they are alive. It's not a mystery.

Yeah the only end of it is gonna be when people with such diseases stop having children, but just pointing out such an obvious solution generates all kinds of scorn from the people you are talking to, they seem to immediately think of "eugenics" and every other bad word and imagine you running a concentration camp... and not just people voluntarily using birth control to avoid the suffering of their own offspring that's all that I frequently suggest.
TIL Starbucks coffee has a ton of caffeine. This explains why I'm super jittery every time I get Starbucks even though I drink (non-Starbucks) coffee every day.

So yeah, two freaking massive 20oz pours of highly caffeinated coffee will get you to around 1 gram.

But FWIW the daily recommended dose is 400mg. 1g is a ton of caffeine and way beyond what you would get to by sipping on coffee throughout the day (it's 10+ cups of drip).
Thank you so much for the feedback

Yeah that's true, it's targeting marketers. I will try to look into giving examples, maybe show casing two social posts side by side, one before and one after.

I made a comment along those lines on HN a few years ago, and was told in no uncertain terms that I was unrealistic in expecting to be paid my worth unless I accepted payment in lottery tickets/stock-with-no-guaranteed-conversion-clause.

This article further affirms my position: it’s not just founders that got no payout, the employees didn’t either. Cool beans, you work your ass off for a company at below market rates with the promise that you’ll get a big payout when it sells, and then it turns out even when it sells for half a billion your stock is worth nothing. This isn’t the lottery of “the company may fail” this is the lottery of “I hope VC doesn’t rewrite the charter to ensure that we don’t get paid”. Oh, and the CEO alone got 11million. That sounds like there was plenty of money available

Unfortunately, Kialo does not have any features for structural reasoning, where the logical connections between arguments are completely formalized and precise. It relies on a human element to check each argument.

Meaningful Exits for Founders (2016)
fbenv - Manage all the environments (a bit like direnv, but different)
Just to clarify: how educated do you need to be? Founders don’t appear to be obligated to tell you when they make deals that effect you, and more importantly retroactively reduce how much they paid you.

If you are paid in stock, and the founders make a deal that reduces the payout value of that stock (in this case to zero) they have stolen from you in a way that has no recourse. Literally they paid you with something that was presumably claimed to have value, and then after a few years made deals that made that worth less. Even though you had already been “paid”.

How much education can you do that would protect you from this?
The videos are summaries of scientific studies, and in the description of each video there are links to a text article on the topic, and from there we have the links to all scientific papers.

For example in the video "Oxidized Cholesterol as a Cause of Alzheimer’s Disease", the sources cited are summarized here in this article - https://nutritionfacts.org/video/oxidized-cholesterol-as-a-c...

If you scroll down and click on the tab "Sources", the linked studies are there.

38 years is a long time, I don't see why the age makes you immediately conclude that it can only be genetic and not influenced by diet.

Getting obese is also genetic, some people can still be slim with the standard western diet, while others start gaining weight at a certain age.

Yey, if you eat right you will likely never get obese, even though you have an obesity-prone genetics.

If some people can get heart attacks at 38, why is it so surprising that they can also get Alzheimer's if they have been eating foods very high in fat and cholesterol multiple times a day non-stop since birth?

If Alzheimer's is triggered or strongly linked to dietary choices, at least we should be informed of that while the studies continue.

> Of course there are a lot of legal addictives - like a whole range of mood altering drugs like Xanax, Prozac, etc. - which are far worse long term.

$465M was right at the point where investors still got ROI while investors got nothing. It’s not like they took a loss.

Just to be clear, I don't necessarily oppose those other programs, and I never suggested that getting rid of the step function was the only thing that should be done, though I continue to believe that that in itself might be a very substantial improvement.

Huntington's normally first appears in a family when the carrier is late in life, so it's really not that simple. Not uncommon to already have grandkids before you know. The average age of onset reduces as the generations go on.

And FWIW it has a spontaneous occurrence rate, so even if all known carriers have no offspring it wouldn't eradicate it.
