flowcont··on Sea Anchor
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.

flowcont··on Vitamin D supplementation worsens Alzheimer's progression
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.
flowcont··on Free Postgres databases for small projects
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.

flowcont··on ‘Woof’, a pure Scala 3 logging library
I'm at one of such organisations and you have concisely described the situation.
flowcont··on Scala at scale at Databricks
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.
flowcont··on Why Johnny Won't Upgrade
Off-topic, but what is the Navionics free, better competitor? Thanks.
flowcont··on Regexes vs. Combinatorial Parsing (2019)
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].

flowcont··on A hiring test I'd like to run
Thank you for doing this! I'm doing several processes now and it's so unpleasant and stressful just before the interviews, that taking some weight off of it is really helpful.
