   Sounds like QNX -- I remember running this from floppies as the first protected-mode OS that could run on my 386

   I think it was from the movie industry - just something in the background shot with lots of blinking lights and occasional beeps was known as an EBG, or "electronic bullshit grinder". They do tend to impress investors as well as a

   A shrub made with Pellegrino + syrupy Balsamic, or apple cider vinegar with a drop of two of stevia - herbs optional - delicious. (and butyrate producing to boot...)

   I remember walking into the Computer Factory in Grand Central station in NYC and playing with the Lisa. (Later I did some Smalltalk on the Lisa and the Techtronix.) I still remember the layout ca. 1979-83 like it was yesterday - on the rig

    Some of this reminds of me a combination Icon and Mozart. (And happened to just come across my old Icon book a few days ago.) Maybe the backtracking concepts are "too built in?" - e.g., (1|2) is not a first-class/reified &quo

    Well, if we all ate meat alternatives most of the time and treated ourselves to real meat much less often, we could reduce the density of animals raised for food so that they could be raised humanely. I love meat and especially bacon, but I

    Thanks for the pointer -- looks like (OCaml/F#)++ with an effect system and some other niceties. I guess I'd rather go that way then enter the Scala effects mire. There are some obvious issues I didn't see up front (unless I

    Parinfer hits the sweet-spot for me -- you still get the benefits of the parens, but the indentation is still enforced to match, and changing either one causes the other to be updated accordingly

    Agreed - he somehow gets the most amazing guests, but it's all un-interesting, softball questions that don't challenge the guest at all, delivered at a glacial pace.

    Most things that increase normal cellular growth by stimulating the mtor pathway and IGF production, etc., will also increase abnormal cellular growth - including things like, well, eating - esp. carbs/sugar and protein. It's cert

    Sure - you can find many NR and NMN supplements on AMZN for example. NMN has gained popularity over NR, I believe mostly due to longer shelf life. Elysium and TruNiagen are two famous brands, that IIR were sueing each other at some point?

    Note that this study shows that supplements increase _blood serum_ levels of NAD, not concentrations inside the cell and mitochondria where it counts. So I'd say that without further qualification, this study shows safety more than eff

    I'm tired about hearing about the lack of "explainability in AI" when the issue is with deep-learning & non-symbolic AI, the very allure of which to date has been its black-box, just-train-it nature, leading to all kinds

    I think it's much simpler -- it's about the focus on design over usefulness . I really don't care if the u/x looks like someone's weekend VB project as long as it does what I want in an obvious, discoverable way

    I have an old tribal rug (Turkish/Afghan?) that has a "evil eye" (but a good evil eye...) weaved into it in order to break the otherwise perfect symmetry of the design.

    Most code is not CPU-bound, and for code that is, a hot spot is all the usually needs to be optimized. Today .Net Core is remarkably performant, and the fact that just by writing code carefully, or using Span<> etc., you can get close
