Clojure?


Disaster Recovery


Yesterday I was looking into rogue waves and found this video[1] where they have a sailing yacht with and electric engine and they say they use the engine in regenerative mode to generate drag in rough, kind of like a sea anchor would do.

Checked out the video but didn't want to fish through 20 minutes for the specific part about regen. engine mode. To be fair don't all props create drag (less so if it's folding) - maybe the prop is "in gear" or similar and would enable more drag that way? Just curious how this works - also a response with the timing in the video when they mention this could maybe be helpful


In a reddit thread I read about the link between the gut biome and different diseases. Someone commented about custom probiotics and that they had seen improvements. They were in the US and they had used flore (I have no idea about them). I think it's worth a try.


From their blog, they are offering 3GB of free persistent volumes: https://fly.io/blog/free-postgres/#so-we-re-really-giving-yo...

And I have obsessively started to think about what can I build to try them out, this sounds awesome.


Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1205/ Good for you for being able to manage that outcome.


I'm at one of such organisations and you have concisely described the situation.


I'm stealing that phrase: "Premature abstraction is the root of all evil". It's hard for me sometimes to justify in a code review why an abstraction is not required (yet) when someone has put some effort into it.


I found this in another thread and it sounds like you might enjoy it also:

Off-topic, but what is the Navionics free, better competitor? Thanks.


Polaris Navigation GPS.

It was hyperbolic of me to say that they're "better" in every way, but they cover all my personal marine use cases and several others, so I was excited when I found their app.


I discovered parser combinators a few years ago in Scala with parboiled[1] and fell in love with them. Although I haven't use them lately, I still have to look into Fastparse[2], and I'm sure I will have fun going through this article of parser combinators in Rust[3].
