> Note the paradox here: one of the principles of training is to stimulate the body, to “wear it out” at a given moment in time in order to trigger the physiological processes that will lead to improved capabilities, the fight against fatigue… and, ultimately, increased resistance to physical stress.
A somewhat recent paper:
Systematic review and meta-analysis of antioxidants with or without exercise training improving muscle condition in older adults
Seems to imply that as we get older, antioxidants might help the body recover from exercise. More specifically, antioxidants may help resolve exercise induced inflammation in adults aged over 55 years.
So it seems that, yes, as you get older, its easier for the body to wear down, but this can be mitigated somewhat.
DuckDB has experimental builds for Android ... I'm wondering how much work it would take to implement a Java API for it similar to sqlite (Cursor, etc).
Yes, I noticed this too. I ran a lot in high school / university, and for some reason we mostly ran on the roads. In my late 20s a doctor told me my knees sounded like they were "65".
I read a book my Michael Colgan at the time, and he mentioned training athletes on the trails as much as possible to reduce injury, so I gave it a try ...
That was 25+ years ago. At first people looked at me strange, like I was running from an animal. But its common now, and I'm still running on the trail, and knees seem OK.
Yes of course, you can still trip, step on a snake, etc, but its a different kind of injury. You are adapting gait and balance constantly which is nice too.
Running on the trail is much more interesting, with constant change, ups, downs, variations. Whereas running on grass / asphalt I can go into autopilot mentally and start ruminating, this is harder on the trail and I am more in a state of "here and now".
I'm ignorant of mesh technologies, but can somebody explain to me why they are using MQTT in their stack? Topics and pub-sub over TCP doesn't sound like a mesh-y kind of thing. Does it work well in this context?
The mesh isn't doing MQTT or TCP. They're using MQTT to bridge between meshes, with mesh nodes that have an internet connection or are paired to a smartphone with an internet connection relaying mesh traffic with an MQTT server.
Also very good way to instantly spend all your air time. Remember, legally you can only transmit at something like 10% of time. In some bands even less, afaik.
The Vitamin E / NAC relationship are interesting. As far as I understand, there needs to be a balance of anti-oxidants (C, E, Selenium, etc). To make it worse there are so many formulations of Vitamin E you can buy (tocopherols, tocotrienols, etc). Sometimes its hard to tell from the studies what forms exactly were being used.

"NRF2 activation is a predictor of poor clinical outcomes in lung cancer. Given the widespread use of NRF2-inducing compounds such as resveratrol and sulforaphane, these findings raise important concerns about their safety in individuals at risk for or living with cancer."
I agree wholeheartedly. The app is unusable and unstable. I had to delete collections from the web because they were getting corrupted in the app.
One thing I notice is that it simply does not render many code snippets well, especially when using the "page" (vs "continuous" scrolling). I don't get the impression they are doing QA on rendering quality. Not only external publishers, but O'Reilly books themselves! I also had a lot of problems reading Manning books in their app.
Rendering e-books properly is a pretty big table-stake thing.
"Affinity Partners, the private equity firm led by Jared Kushner, is part of Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros Discovery, according to a regulatory filing."
This is what happens in markets without a functional regulatory body - when the regulator turns into a market participant. It’s closer to a jungle than anything else.
Thank you, I had no idea how this was politically related, and honestly cannot keep track of all the corruption these days anyways. How does anyone? This is pretty much a genuine question.
"The Biden-era immigration surge delivered millions of new arrivals seeking work; foreign-owned fleets recruited aggressively—higher pay than at home, no experience needed, free “housing” in the sleeper berth."
I was talking to a retired trucker recently. They described a situation where one driver would get the CDL, but shared the cab with 2-3 others (no CDL, maybe family or friends). They would all rotate driving, so at any given time there was a chance the driver actually had no CDL.
