This story and many others are captured really well in the Game Developer Conference (GDC) post-mortem talks, heartily recommended if you want to know about the human aspect behind game dev!!

baristavibes··on Reduced cancer mortality with daily Vitamin D intake
"private" or "self-paid" lab blood tests are pretty common here, just across the border in Czech Republic, I'm surprised to find out they're unavailable in Germany, do you have to route every foreigner through a medical professional? Or is the catch that they won't do a "full" blood panel?

baristavibes··on Ask HN: Is there anyone here making music?
I have two suggestions but they might not be strictly what you're looking for, just musician learning material. I have found the book "The Secrets of Dance Music production" [0] published by Attack Magazine very nice to read with many anecdotes on how to produce. It is focused on dance music as the name suggests. Additionally, Adam Neely's YouTube channel [1] has many infotainment videos about music, music theory, composing, etc. pick any videl where the title seems interesting, they're all well-produced and comprehensive for the general public.

baristavibes··on Ask HN: How do you find the weird parts of the web?
Not to diminish the quality of the content in the answers of other respondents, but don't link directories and self hosted HTML blogs filter for a certain potentially unwanted writer bias? i.e. 30-something, male, agorist, nostalgic for the old internet, oddly niche hobbies, English as first or second language, ...
baristavibes··on Ask HN: Where can I go to meet interesting people?
I'll add my music related anecdote, because it's my primary hobby which led me to form many internationally spanning friendships and art collaborations. Hopefully the approach inspires someone in other areas of life. When traveling to a new city, it can be challenging to find the right music events to fit your niché. What I tend to do, is check the artists I already like and see where they performed previously. Some of these venues or festivals might be difficult to google, especially if they are community driven and non-commercial. Some will inevitably lie in vicinity of my newly scouted city. These venues will have other performing artists, many of them belonging to local labels, while also deviating from my pre-existing scope in various ways. If I want to go a step further I check the labels again, rinse and repeat. This way I'm guaranteed to discover new music while not alienating my comfort zone.

Has anyone thought of this in relation with age demographics?

Declining birth rates in developed countries => shrinking share of younger people => most of the demand is created by older people with lower neuroplasticity => older music stars are more popular

baristavibes··on Etsy Strike
I hear that designers are being steamrolled by Aliexpress or Shein all the time. The landscape has obviously changed. I wonder if a pioneering designer somewhere used this to their advantage to mass manufacture their products while integrating a staple design element by which they end up promoting themselves?

baristavibes··on Moderna’s HIV vaccine has officially begun human trials
I agree in that no straight people (that i know) consider PrEP, although according to a quick search the HIV prevalence rate is twenty times lower in my country compared to the US.

Obviously the human brain statistician goes out the window when comparing a lifelong illness with a few hours of discomfort, but would it be generally safe/worth it to put the entire population on PrEP during sexual activity? I heard that HIV patients have noticable side effects with their meds.
