The research around NAD+ production and cancer proliferation may also give some causal explanation--or at least, a place to start looking--for the correlation between B vitamin supplementation (edit: folic acid, specifically) and increased cancer rates/fatalities in certain high-risk populations: https://www.webmd.com/cancer/news/20091117/folic-acid-b12-ma...

That's pretty broad strokes, and I am not sure it works everywhere. One of the other effects of society is to reduce -- and it has been fairly constant -- access to pain medication. At first you could nip over to the apothecary for laudanum or whatever. Then you needed a prescription from a physician. Next, one of the effects on society is insurance, so you must also navigate that to get your prescription. And finally the government comes in and decides on a ham-fisted "crackdown" on pill mills, nevermind people who actually need the stuff, so society has put another obstacle between you and relief, so there are quotas, hooray.

The other area where this falls down is standardization, and I think this is exactly a group of people to understand it. Twenty years ago programming was very much the Wild Wild West, but now, seemingly, everyone talks this Agile talk and now we "must" all program like one another, which includes odious morning standups and the being "on call" mentality of DevOps, plus even bog standard shops pretending that they have some kind of Silicon Valley burn rate and velocity to maintain. And if you cannot hack that, tough, find another industry. That's society and that's a transition that has been fairly rough if you are put in a position to count your spoons.

Many minimum wage laws have not kept up with the inflation in living costs, which is why people now use the term living wage. It likely was the original point, but very few are/were indexed to inflation. Add in the unwillingness of a large portion of politicians to raising the minimum wage, and drift has occurred.
The big thing is that government organizations are very complicated, and due to bidding processes, have a lot of different vendors with different solutions involved. Vendors respond to proposals with complete bespoke solutions that may or may not integrate well with existing infrastructure design, and then some of those vendors are actively resistant to changes that integrate them in.

It's really fun explaining to a vendor that 1. A system is going to be domain-joined so it can be managed and monitored. 2. The users will not have administrative rights to the machine. 3. The vendor will not have the ability to remote access the machine whenever they want. 4. Security software and policy settings will be applied to the machine. It continues to amaze me how often these four items absolutely blow the minds of the vendors I've dealt with.

Very interesting. Another result showing how increased NAD+ levels 'benefit' cancer cells casting a shadow on the idea of NAD+ boosting supplementation to increase healthspan and lifespan. But then, it's not like this means that heightened NAD+ levels cause cancer. Just that it is plausible that it makes it more aggressive, once you have it.
It’s not just you. CPUs have stagnated massively.

Intel CPUs still give 16 PCI lanes on the consumer chips, despite any modern graphics card using that entirely.

(Meaning your nvme drives all compete somewhat).

Compared to phones which have real, huge, generational improvements every couple of years which is sometimes jarring.

However, this is different.

AMDs previous Ryzen laptop line performed incredibly well, both in power consumption (which equates to battery life) and thermal envelope (which, also equates to battery life) while also delivering jaw dropping performance.

I am a “devops” and farm out a lot of compute to the cloud, but that comes at a cost (iteration times, price, bandwidth, not all flows can be remote). And gaming does too (stadia has mixed results- though I am a fan).

I would posit that your workflow has become remote likely _because_ of this stagnation.

It's a bit strange. I really wanted a MacBook with a touch bar as I find the idea of it really good. I realize that it had many design problems but I still think that it has merit.

Would it make sense for Apple to keep the touch bar ABOVE a row of physical function keys? That way people wouldn't constantly accidentally press it as the function buttons act as "shield" from touching it accidentally.

This is a great example of why I still prefer torrenting films and TV shows as opposed to using my wife’s Netflix sub: the pirated media is better!

Netflix and Hulu and competing with easier to use and more flexible pirated media, whether they like it or not. The consistency and flexibility of the VLC interface (or whatever media player you choose) is vastly better than whatever features a Netflix PM is trying to push to juice their metrics.

(I won’t even get into unskippable screens on Blu-Ray discs which are removed on the pirate version.)
Thanks. Especially that second link seems very much more plausible in its analysis “This is probably a simple check assertion somewhere which is seeing unexpected data passing through a call”

If you write a file system every bug can destroy years of data, silently, so “better be safe then sorry” should be a poster hanging on every wall, so even a simple directory traversal, upon seeing a “this normally shouldn’t happen” event, should raise a few flags.

Was this the result of the industry crack down on the over-prescription of opioids and various opioid manufacturers being forced to cut opioid production and marketing?

Society went from one extreme of "we need to treat pain like a disease and medicate it", to the other extreme of "Holy moly we created an opioid epidemic, we need to cut production and sue manufacturers."

Obviously there were a lot of bad actors at play, and I imagine some legitimate practices and patients were collateral damage during these over-reactions.
Yeah, I wish this was the norm nation-wide. There’s a homeless crisis in my city (as in many cities) and too many people think the solution is to harass them into leaving or to jail them.

Ask HN: Is Hubot Development Dead?
Hubot, one of the best bot framework is dead (at least the development).

The last commit to master was pushed a year ago, the last PR created on 3 Dec 2020 was ignored, and the Issues list seems abandoned.

Is Hubot development dead? Should people use other alternatives? Does anyone know why Github devs and community abandoned this great project?
All of those are very good points!

> In short, i don't think that how "minimal" dependencies are should be the deciding factor when choosing them, but rather the results of deliberation of the points that you've described above.

Well I said 'minimal set of dependencies' not 'minimal dependencies'. My text wasn't meant to make a point for small libraries or for implementing everything inside the project, but just to point out the important factor of dependency management as part of programming, which I felt was missing in this discussion.

Of course if there is some big framework that is well maintained, possible already used by other software components that might be already available on the device of the end user, fulfills all business/project requirements and you might end up using it for more the just one function, then great! That also means you might not add many other random small dependencies to dependency set, now or in the future and that set might stay minimal.

But if there is something that is not part of the big framework, and easy to get wrong, then of course you should add some dependency that does it for you under all these deliberations instead of trying, and possible failing, to do it yourself.

You should however step back from this and reconsider, if you start adding libraries for just string padding and the like.
It can be a lot slower depending upon the machine and OS it is installed on.

For instance, running the Jetstream2 and Speedometer2 tests on https://browserbench.org on Mac OS M1 CPU and Windows 10 Ryzen 3700:

Mac OS M1:
Jetstream2 Firefox score of 115. Safari score of 227.
Speedometer 2 Firefox score of 203. Safari score of 218.

Windows 10 Ryzen 3700:
Jetstream2 Firefox score of 92. MS Edge score of 145.
Speedometer 2 Firefox score of 95. MS Edge score of 142.

These are bare metal installs running off the same connection method to the same network. I understand what you are saying about DNSMasq, but I wanted to test out the "seems" portion of his comment. If Firefox seems slower on any particular machine, that is because it is.
> Ok, once again. I can write code inside my spreadsheet but not inside my browser? WTF.

I don't understand the problem. Ignoring the node.js requirement, just open the developer console in Chrome or Firefox. There you have a powerful JavaScript REPL. There is also a ton of online REPLs, e.g. https://repl.it/languages/nodejs.

> Increasingly there’s a disconnect between the kinds of activities code enables and the “expected” workflow for “being a coder”.

What does that even mean? There is also a huge disconnect between the kinds of activities buildings enable and the expected workflow for "being an architect". Yet I don't hear an architect complaining that he cannot design a building simply by wandering through the Taj Mahal and thinking "wow, this really looks beautiful, I enjoy this!".
Cards help me personally in in Mind Mapping and is the kind of thing that can also be done in a group. It involves getting something to write upon (ideally poster board paper and a mix of different colored magic markers) and thinking non-linearly while filling that paper up with ideas.

> The author is 100% correct on everything. Programming is massively over-complicated for no useful reason.

What are you trying to do?

Say I'm Santa and have a list of names in "naughtynice.lst", in the format

Joey Bloggs,train,nice
Johnny Doe,car,naughty
Mary Lamb,car,nice

etc

I can get my shopping list by simply creating a file on my machine

my $i = 0;
my $toys = {};
my $coal = 0;
while (<>) {
chomp;
my ($name, $toy, $nice) = split(/,/);
if ($nice eq "nice") {
$toys->{$toy}++;
} else {
$coal = $coal++;
}
}

print "$_: ".$toys->{$_}."\n" foreach keys (%{$toys});
print "coal: $coal\n";

and then typing

perl test.pl naughtnice.lst

to run it. Python I assume is similar. I'm fairly sure that OSX comes with perl, python and bash if nothing else.

Now you could say that you don't like the syntax of perl, or python, or basic, or java, but actually knocking up a quick program and running is no harder than writing that same code in some hidden part of excel
This was good work.

The DRC has a lot of problems (to say the least) at the moment and has had for a while and this is pretty low priority in their scheme of things. Countries with weird residual TLDs for non-sovereign territory (e.g. .as or .ac) surely pay more attention to these trivial domains than anyone in the DRC can.

Which is all to say the amount of effort expended on any task, or the amount of knowledge brought to bear on a task, is only sometimes correlated with its value. Ever worked hard on a company that failed?

Well I wouldn't say the multicellular system is reverting to a single older cell phase per say. Rather it needs NAD+ so it optimizes for that. The cells also lose adhesion and then migrate so clearly there's some "programming exception" not being caught. I view the cell as a bunch of copy paste code that's had some degree of refactoring applied so there are different programs and control systems in operation at any given time. Sometimes these get activated or not repressed erroneously, sometimes the source code gets scrambled.

The point is that it is fairly easy to trigger. This is considered safer than having a hard to trigger mechanism and less user caution, because of greater chance of it failing to be triggered when needed. You could have some sort of complex signal sent that switches them, but it'd make the devices much more complex, and since they are very hard to service, and need to respond when triggered, they are designed to be simple. Users of these devices aren't supposed to have phones near them anyway.

Closing the gap between server and client in terms of app development is definitely the answer. Also agree with the pitch that the currently popular approach of simply moving everything to the client has made tooling incredibly complex (although it's getting better). It's great to see new tools like this being built.

Moving everything to the server instead also closes the gap, but the obvious problem is that this introduces a lot of latency for UI interactions. Ajax page loads/Turbolinks works so well because it actually makes things faster with almost zero effort. Introducing a similar method for every UI interaction though is a different matter, and I don't see how the latency won't be noticeable.

For instance, The TodoMVC example's server seems to be far enough way from my location that creating a task has noticeable lag. Sure it's just an example, but without introducing some client-side/optimistic rendering, that's going to be hard to avoid (and that would defeat the purpose of having all your logic in one place, on the server). Not sure how this is addressed here?
