Have enough supplements to cover your bases and ideally cover it off with whole foods when possible. To be clear, I found it wasn't a good use of time to spend years experimenting with many supplements that end up working temporarily a

I used to have CFS, but apart from the occasional temporary post viral fatigue that many get, it’s gone. And what is CFS but long term post viral fatigue? One thing I learned is to ignore figuring out the exact supplements, because you’re p

I always wondered if some hidden pattern would be exposed when visualising numbers in unconventional ways in numbers with no known pattern such as Pi or prime numbers. A sort of multi-dimensional rendering that suddenly reveals a hidden pat

Well, they buried the lede with this one. Using LLMs were better for some tasks and actually made it worse for others. The first task was a generalist task ("inside the frontier" as they refer to it), which I'm not surprised

As someone who uses a mixture (django, Hugo), I say it’s fine use dynamic sites to run a blog - there’s millions of them out there. They are usually easier to administer for less professional users, as well as being able to quickly modify f

It's because a lot of engineers are learning to become better plumbers, not better engineers. Trying new technologies means you're mostly becoming better at using someone else's APIs - this is the path to eventual burn out as

I would avoid Alice Miller, because she abused her own children[1]. “The body keeps score” I’d recommend instead [1] https://www.amazon.co.uk/True-Drama-Gifted-Child-Phantom/dp/... .

It gets you more of whatever you love doing - even if no one reads it - because you get better at whatever you write about. If you knew no one would ever read your writing, would you still write it? If yes (the likelihood is no one will rea

What are the genetic variants? I can’t access the paper, but I assume if anyone can we’d be able to run our DNA results (from 23andme, etc.) through this to see how high we score.

It does actually work on Intel macs - albeit very slowly. I left the process on in the background and my computer kept locking up. Once I realised what was causing the lock ups - I checked the process and it had indexed a very small number

Thank you! I can confirm it doesn't work on Intel Macs. But it does indeed work on my M1 laptop. This is going to be a huge timesaver.

I've bought it - I would also buy a desktop verson if you're interested in making one.

I worked at Nokia as a SWE in Berlin when that email dropped into my inbox. A few days later, it reached the press. We mostly thought ok, fine. What’s next? Before that, we’d been building an app for Nokia N97 handset users, an ever-decreas

It's the main feature that's missing from this - I'm working on it - context sensitive principle lists, with ranking, which can slice up reality in the way you've said. Going to be a hard one to get right, so I'm ta

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've a few principles for that: https://principles.dev/p/documentation-should-be-close-to-th... and “They Ain’t Gonna Read It” (not on the website, yet. But it is here: https:/&#x

It's funny you chose that principle in particular because it does have an exception listed: https://principles.dev/p/one-single-source-of-truth/ > Exceptions > Highly distributed systems - Some systems

I imagine teams will shared their principle lists on blog posts and put reflections there. Not all of it would appear on the principles.dev, as I think the reflective nature would be best handled elsewhere. But acknowledging pros and cons o

Oneshoe, thank you. On the SDLC, it could work. The temporal aspect is something I need to think through in a way that's not too complicated. Getting feedback at this stage is beneficial, even if this hit HN a lot earlier than I was ex

The eventual benefit is having access to many community sourced principles as a resource, which are getting better over time as people contribute. Then being able to create your own lists for unique situations. Say "Lupire's CTO

Haha! It won't be long until there are some there. I may take out the filters by technology choice for the time being, because there's nothing there.

In software engineering, the smallest behaviors interact to cause more complex ones. In most teams, it's hard to point to those small behaviors because they have become habitual and you may have forgotten what they are. Forgotten the &

Can you show me where that is or what visualization that is? I haven't put anything on the website intentionally, perhaps it's auto generated. The only page that I haven't purposely optimised for mobile is the editor, as you

A lot of thought has gone into the licensing. Hopefully I've covered all bases. You can't be an author if you aren't the author of a principle or the principle is too generic. If the principle is already open source (e.g. on

Some principles do have this already, it depends on the princple. They tend to be more code focused, such as compute properties when possible: https://principles.dev/p/compute-properties-when-possible/ It would be

Indeed. That is definitely the next steps to allow individuals and eventuall companies to create their own principle lists. There are no principles that make sense in every situation, there are no teams that will have the same principles. I

All principles on the website are currently in this repository: https://github.com/PrinciplesDotDev/principles In fact, this is the database for the website. So you can download them from there and put it in an ereader
