Eventually we will figure out how these chemicals work to combat a disease that is currently not well understood. Great news !

It would be great if you put your code on github so folks could use it. Thanks !

This article was written Feb 25, 2021 but its a great short read about the philosophy behind this subject.

Thanks for the quick response, I am impressed, that is a large number...

great article, having lived in New Mexico for many years I understand the passion of the people who looked for his treasure in the Rocky Mountains and especially the southern Rockies / Sangre de Cristo area...

This is one of the best pieces I have read on Forrest to date.

Well just to express my bias I am a big fan of open source and contribute to several open source projects; one of which I could see talking to your API if you had one. Also, not sure how many people have developed your application, but having lots of feedback from a community on discord or some such service; especially if in the future you decided to open source the project could solidify your project as the go to open source project in this space. I am not aware; but others could chime in current open source projects of this completeness like yours that are open source.

An example of an app that might want to integrate with your service could possibly be tools like https://www.notion.so

Just curious are you going to have a Github repo for applications that want to integrate with your product. Do you have any type of API that can talk to your app ? What programming language is your app written in and what front end framework are you using ?

If you love the wilderness, love being out there in nature, this is as close as you can almost get in our modern world. I have an incredible respect for people who do these adventures and live to tell their stories...

and then tell them in a way that resonates with the way I would tell the story too...

Felicette was the first cat launched into space on 18 October 1963 as part of the French Space Program

For people like me who had no clue that

FOMO = Fear of Missing Out

> They've added a right-sidebar that shows various info about the repo in general, like what the last release is.

How do I get rid of the right-sidebar ? This is terrible and a complete waste of real estate. And hopefully someone will tell me how to get rid of it... Thank you !

Here is one example...

5. Niger: Wealth per Adult: $1,017 Niger is the largest nation in West Africa, but more than 80% of its land area is in the Sahara Desert, so it is prone to drought and famine. The GDP as of 2017 was $9.87 billion, but the wealth per adult remained low despite economic reforms.

That trade school which is now CMU did not start out being a hyper expensive prestige driven university. For years prior to the computer era it was a humble university in Pittsburgh.

"In 1900, he donated $1 million for the creation of a technical institute for the city of Pittsburgh, envisioning a school where working-class men and women of Pittsburgh could learn practical skills, trades and crafts that would enhance their careers, lives and communities."

It was not until the dawn of the computer era that things started to change.

Besides monarchs in the past, for the first time in the history of Planet Earth we have many people and corporations that have more money than governments and so with that comes the responsibility of "acting accordingly". I believe that in a good light this will continue to assist humanity in ways never thought of before as human ingenuity is always more nimble than large bureaucratic organizations.

For me the testament as to the quality of this product is to look at the Rust doc ecosystem. Anyone who has read the Rust docs knows how well done the presentation of the material is

Here is one example...

Number of new cases in Oregon is flat to slightly down in the past six days...

3/25 57

3/30 58

I am really happy I found this blog post. If you like this one you should check out some of his other posts. He has some amazingly insightful other posts on Rust including some very in depth topics. Also, a great comparison of Rust and Go. This is also why I love Hacker News. I would have never found these posts if this one had not made it to page one.

I think its really cool that we are now making movies / documentaries of people in our field / industry that have done good work. I love to see our industry evolve to a place where the developers themselves can self fund a whole entire platform and make it sustainable long term. This documentary about the life of Evan You and how he succeeded in doing it is an inspiration to us all. Let the show begin !

Thanks so much for your reply, you opened up my eyes and knowledge to something that is so trivial; its amazing it took me this long to figure out such a simple thing. There are so many things in life that are like that, and that is why I enjoy it :)

This is really vital information as I personally had no idea it was that easy... What a great idea ! Is this true for all articles on the NYT ?

I have been programming for 45 years and started at age 15, the key to make it fun, forever, is just work on coding projects you love doing. Of course, you have to be in a situation that enables you to do that, but if you are lucky enough to be there, then I can see someone coding for another 20 years or most of your life.

It appears that these conversations all happened around the same table where some members of Edge gathered on a particular day but they were published each week over a course of time

So my interface to all of my text files is Redis.

I use the simple Redis data structures to store the data and with a common interface I am able to populate all sorts of different tools for indexing and search.

Then from there I use the following tools...

elasticsearch

Recently I have been experimenting with...

https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliDB

By maintaining Redis as my interface engine, I can experiment with all sorts of different tools in different programming languages...

Over time I have grown to love Redis as my data store...

Of course I have a simple way of getting the common text files that I write my daily journal in into Redis.

And then from there its just a matter of the common interface into the different indexing / search technologies.

I have been writing down what I do every day since 2002. So 17 years of daily notes about what I did, how I feel, what I was excited about that day. One cool thing about the journal is that it is electronic. So its searchable which is kind of cool. Its always handy to look up stuff you did in the past and when you did it, who you were with, when you went on that great vacation to the beach etc... I highly recommend keeping a journal, for people who are into it.

If you are curious the spec for the new Flux Language is worth a gander as well.

I have been wanting this for years...

If you look at the original Yahoo Page when Yahoo first started out it attempted to solve this problem.

I believe this index could be regionally or language based...

In the United States one could use

Dewey Decimal

Library of Congress

Anyone who just walks outside and treasures their surroundings and the environment understands this point. People who want to drill for the short term view don't see the beauty they are destroying for lifetimes ahead of us.

Now all we have to do is convince the politicians in the US to walk away from their (perceived) oil as well off the coast of Alaska.
