Is this about concentrated synthetic vitamin C or about the natural form? From a chemistry perspective the same, but the natural one comes in a different "package" of other substances (vitamin C complex). I wonder if the effect is the same.


There were a lot of studies on that early on but they were not really followed on. Most of the time current studies use synthetic or natural but purified enough that there is nothing else there (so the same molecule really)


Shameless plug: https://www.beehome.design/ I worked on an app that lets you design your own Bee Home and let it be fabricated at a local makerspace. This way you can help the population of solitary bees.


What kind of file does that process spit out for you to use?


dxf


It actually isn’t. 400 IU is based on preventing disease. To obtain optimal health though, dosages should usually be much higher. Obviously this differs from person to person, but 2000 IU should lead to optimal vitamin D levels. This is an interesting video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeLC_b5gDUM


Isn’t this different from read access? Apart from server resources, downloading content doesn’t effect a web site as much as posting on it.


Figma uses Emscripten which is technically not Webassembly (to my knowledge)


Emscripten has been able to compile to WASM since before WASM was implemented in browsers. It became the default output earlier this year.


Some more detail: Emscripten has defaulted to emit wasm even earlier, in May 2018. The change this year was to switch how that wasm is emitted, from the old fastcomp+asm2wasm path to the new LLVM wasm backend.


I was actually thinking about the switch from asm.js to WASM (v1.38.1) but apparently that was last year. Whoops!


Emscripten has a WASM backend, it was originally JavaScript only.


I asked a similar question some time ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13284742 not about the experience, but more about what to keep in mind when switching. Hope it helps.


The role of project management is very different from that of engineering management. For e.g., the former doesn't have any people management, whereas the latter does.


That's not exactly true. A project manager in some ways has a more difficult people management job than an engineering manager does. They're held accountable for the coordination and performance of people over whom they hold no actual authority. That takes some major diplomatic skills.


> Every day, in doctors’ offices across the US—as well as in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Amsterdam, Australia, Sweden, in 80 countries and on every continent

Amsterdam is not a country. The country is called The Netherlands. Amsterdam is the capital.


Also apparently the plague of undiagnosed Lyme Brain Cloud has spread to Antarctica.

Where will it end? Somebody quick dispatch an MA/RP to Bellingshausen Station!


Well if we want to be difficult about this, Ireland really isn't a country either. It's a geopolitical region with two separate states on the same major island.


Pointing out that Amsterdam is a city and not a country isn't really "being difficult."


But it's off topic and not constructive.


It's a useful tool to determine how well-edited the source is.


> the free content ad network failed to disclose

Interesting they don’t call it a ‘social network’. ‘content ad network’ is more accurate in my opinion.


Maybe we should adopt the term? "Content ad network" does have a certain ring to it.


I concur, even before there was widespread corporate advertising my impression of "social networking" was that it was more about advertising your personal activities and beliefs to your network than actually socializing within it.


social advertising


I believe that was coined by theregister.co.uk ^1, a fine source for quality wordplay and tech news/opinion. Unfortunately fondleslab never took off for tablet.

^1 I may be wrong


Ooh, fondleslab is a good one.


No it is a telecommunications network.

As per the law, ads and content-snooping don't belong on it.
