The worthlessness of vitamin D is mildly exaggerated

The worthlessness of vitamin D is mildly exaggerated

💥 Discover this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: For a while there, many people thought vitamin D was magical—that it could improve bones, the heart, infections, cancer, heart disease, longevity, even mental health. But among people I respect, opinion is now overwhelmingly that taking vitamin D does nothing unless you’re severely deficient. The central argument is that while vitamin D levels are correlated with ~all positive health outcomes, when you actually test vitamin D supplements against placebo in randomized trials, nothing ever happens. That’s what I used to think, too. But I’ve come…

In memory of the man who put red and green squiggles under words

🚀 Explore this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: I recently learned of the passing of someone whose work nearly everybody knows, but nobody knows his name. Tony Krueger is remembered in Wikipedia as the person who ported the game Chip’s Challenge to Windows for the Windows Entertainment Pack.¹ But that’s probably not the code he wrote that touched the most people. Tony worked on Word 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, then on Word for OS/2 and Word for Mac, then returned to Word 6.0 and several versions beyond that. He probably holds the record for…

🚀 Check out this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days. It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories. I think the cause was that Workspace…

Vulnerability Reports Are Not Special Anymore

Vulnerability Reports Are Not Special Anymore

🔥 Explore this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: A requirement for staying sane while working in public as an open source maintainer is realizing that every issue, PR, and piece of feedback is a present, not an obligation. You can accept it, ignore it, and use it partially or not at all. Except… For years, as lead of the Go Security team at the time, I’ve told new team members that it doesn’t apply to vulnerability reports. No, vulnerability reports are special. Security researchers are doing us a favor by reporting things confidentially…

The Teensy Executable Revisited

🚀 Read this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: The Teensy Executable Revisited (or, "Thunderclouds Gather on the Horizon") On a couple of occasions, people have responded to my original essay with the comment that what I've created by the end isn't really an ELF executable. Rather, it is a file that the Linux kernel, in its current incarnation, happens to mistake for an ELF executable. It's a fair point. That 45-byte file clearly doesn't conform to numerous requirements of the ELF specification. But can you blame me? How could I have stopped at…
