canadiantim··on 2025 was the third hottest year on record
No he’s right that there’s mass censorship happening in this thread for some reason. Not a good look for ycombinator…

canadiantim··on Earth is warming faster. Scientists are closing in on why (2024)
This story is from 2024? Seems a bit dated
canadiantim··on Ask HN: Is it still worth pursuing a software startup?
Isn't it the opposite? E.g. there is very little moat left and small companies or individuals can copy any product big or small in no time?
canadiantim··on Why DuckDB is my first choice for data processing
The wasm is pretty heavy data-wise tho, I’m hoping eventually it’ll be lighter for easier loading on not so good devices.

Yep, my last laptop was a used thinkpad and my current laptop is too. Huzzah.

canadiantim··on I Hate Go, but It Saved My Startup: An Architectural Autopsy
So it’s funny on chrome and safari I only get the html, no css.

But on brave it loads perfectly.

I’m on an iPhone 16.

I will add that I do appreciate the perspective your article gave me, so thank you for writing and sharing! Will have to finally actually explore Go

canadiantim··on I Hate Go, but It Saved My Startup: An Architectural Autopsy
Just a heads up but I don’t think your site is loading the css correctly for whatever reason. I’m just getting html when I load it
canadiantim··on UK government exempting itself from cyber law inspires little confidence
I’ve waited so long to hear an appropriate use of the term “exception that proves the rule”, thank you!
canadiantim··on Electronic nose for indoor mold detection and identification
I would very strongly recommend you get her tested for mycotoxins. Vascular dementia / Alzheimer’s symptoms can come from mold exposure alone (type 3 Alzheimer’s). If you find signs of mold exposure, consider the shoemaker protocol or something like Cellcore to bind the mycotoxins or other similar endotoxins out of the gut using things like Cholestyramine, or other binders.

You can use the Mosaic mycotox test, order it directly to your home and then ship the sample to the lab.

Pretty radical idea, love it! Definitely going to give this a try

canadiantim··on Scientists unlock brain's natural clean-up system for new treatments for stroke
The thyroid is I think far enough away from the main cervical lymph nodes and also the olfactory lymphatic drainage pathways too that I don’t think you need to worry about thyroid removal affecting the lymphatic drainage there.

That being said your lymphatic drainage could still be affected by many other things. Eg do you have chronically inflamed sinuses? Difficulty breathing? These would be things pointing towards greater obstruction of the drainage pathways as it points to inflammation potentially impacting the flow of lymph out of the head/brain.

canadiantim··on Scientists unlock brain's natural clean-up system for new treatments for stroke
Very interesting, especially in light of the Chinese study’s claiming to have success with a large subset of Alzheimer’s by adding a shunt to the cervical lymphatic nodes, which seems to be exactly what they’re doing here too.

For those who don’t want to wait and have someone they love who can benefit from this, simply massaging the lymph nodes in the neck 10 minutes a day also significantly increases flow through these lymph nodes and thereby increases drainage of lymph from the brain.

canadiantim··on Exe.dev
Even the 'About' page doesn't have much information either though

All the About page contains is:

> exe.dev is a subscription service that gives you virtual machines, with persistent disks, quickly and without fuss. These machines are immediately accessible over HTTPS, with sensible and secure defaults. You can share your web server as easily as you can share a Google Doc. With built-in optional authentication, so you can focus on your thing.

> Your VMs share CPU/RAM. Create as many VMs as you like with the resources you have.

canadiantim··on OpenAI are quietly adopting skills, now available in ChatGPT and Codex CLI
I think it’s also important to think of skills in the context of tasks, so when you want an agent to perform a specialized task, then this is the context, the resources and scripts it needs to perform the task.
canadiantim··on OpenAI are quietly adopting skills, now available in ChatGPT and Codex CLI
Can or should skills be used for managing the documentation of dependencies in a project and the expertise in them?

I’ve been playing with doing this but kind of doesn’t feel the most natural fit.
