Thanks, I hate it

Cooool, won't be using that again

That's a beautifully designed library, bravo! Will have to give it a go

How come this is blocked in the UK? :S

Possibly, deffo would have been a big factor. Anecdotally though, I forgot to take these supplements for a while recently, just got out of the habit, and definitely felt worse again for a bit. But, could have been a coincidence/something else

Possibly, but anecdotally, I went through a period of forgetting to take them again recently, and definitely felt worse again. Sleep started suffering, felt lower energy again. But, could have been a coincidence/something else entirely

Yeah I took that for a while, and did slightly improve things. Only problem I had at the time was those were super expensive in the UK. Maybe that's changed now

My cholesterol improved massively, but over time, a few, such as Omega 3 suffered. But those were ultimately my own fault, wasn't managing it properly. So, I'm absolutely not suggesting there's an issue with veganism, this isn't really why I fell out of it. So I do want to stress I wasn't suggesting people should steer clear of Veganism, just something to be mindful of. Oh, and my cholesterol immediately shot back up again when I stopped being a vegan. So, swings and roundabouts with every diet/lifestyle, I guess!

I found this to be the case. Tried Sertraline for a while, gave me headaches and made me feel sick. Then as part of a new gym plan, started taking Omega 3+VitD daily, and I just felt a sense of calm and peace after a few weeks. The massive uptick in exercise probably also helped. I also felt quite an extreme uptick because I was a vegan for 10 years, and found out I had basically zero Omega 3 in my blood. I suspect one of the main reasons my mental health declined was due to the lack of Omega 3.

Disclaimer, not saying vegans should stop being vegans, just make sure you find a good supplement, and make sure you understand the difference between EPA/DHA Omega 3.

Yeah I'm in a really low Civic Type-R, so when I'm opposite some kind of SUV, and also at a slight angle, was basically at direct eye height with their LEDs. I definitely don't have the same problem with older bulb based SUVs though

Yeah quite possibly actually, I did think at the time if they were angled down slightly, it wouldn't be half as bad. So that checks out. But does show there needs to be some kind of solution for uneven situations like that

I was at a junction the other day, there was some new Audi EV at the other side of the junction and I couldn't see a damn thing. I've got perfect 20/20 vision, never had any form of eye problem ever in my life, and I was completely blinded. I'm convinced if they'd turned the full beams on, I'd have disintegrated.

Yeah it's the cost as well that's impressive. I've got a Samsung S25 Ultra in my pocket right now, but it cost like... £1200, so I'm less blown away by that somehow

It is fantastic for that, I find myself doing the same, as someone who also has a tendency towards rabbit holes

That's incredible!

I've been around long enough to find it absolutely astonishing, that you can now fit a computer with 16gb of ram, 265gb of storage and a quad core processor, with no cooling, inside a keyboard.

Yeah, I get the feeling. I'm torn to be honest, because I quite enjoy using it, but then I sift through everything line by line, correct things, change the formatting. Alter parts it's gotten wrong. So for me, it's saving me a little bit of time manually writing it all out. My colleagues are either like me, or aren't sold on it. So I think there's a level of trust and recognition that even if we are using it, we're using it cautiously, and wouldn't just YOLO some AI generated code straight into main.

But we're a really small but mature engineering org, I can't imagine the bigger companies with hundreds of less experienced engineers, just using it without car and caution, it must just cause absolutely chaos (or will soon).

Great find, that's the ones! Might modernise and revive them, thanks!

Toyota and Honda engines are just ridiculous

Never checked to be honest, could well be on there

Not quite an open-source project, but I did a massive blog post series on Microservices in Golang. It sort of became a bit of a defacto starting point for a while, it was an immense amount of work and effort. But I found my inbox flooded with people asking for advice, and honestly, writing about it all made me realise how ridiculous Microservices often are. I could tell many of the people asking me didn't really need them, and I found myself trying to advise them away from it. So I ended up with loads of work, but with caveats all over the place trying to convince people they didn't need any of it.

Then I accidentally wiped the database powering my blog, lost all the content, and had loads of people asking me to rewrite them all. Most people were polite, but there were a lot of pushy and entitled people as well... It's a bit of a shame because it was by far the most popular thing I ever did, and they ended up being a massive pain and regret

Not something I've followed closely, to be honest

What a strange time we live in

That's one slightly gross drink less for the gym then

Worked at Netlify briefly, and the amount of plates they have to spin to keep all these integrations so smooth was super impressive. Some super impressive stuff under the hood. Also a lot of coordination between different projects. Shame to see Vercel not assisting with these efforts as other frameworks do.

I've been using this a lot lately, including in a new project at work, and it's such a joy to use
