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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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/....
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…
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…
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:…
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 rely on data…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
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,…
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…
I really like that you've thought about these - and feel free to submit them not only will you get a founding badge but if you're the first person to create it you'll be known as the source of them in the future. It's…
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 hard…
Well to quote the "what" of the principle https://principles.dev/p/iterate-in-thens/ You should iterate sequentially on a focused chunk of work at a time. Once that chunk has been completed THEN start on the next chunk…
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…
