BiraIgnacio··on Thank HN: The puzzle game I posted here 6 weeks ago got licensed by The Atlantic
Congrats!
BiraIgnacio··on The best programmers I know
The best programmers I know have traits that tells me they could be the best anything I know. They just really care, the are professionals and want to do their best.
BiraIgnacio··on The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047
Speaking about the book, Shriver said "I wanted to write a dystopic novel set in the very near future. But that's an established form and I needed to make my project distinctive. I didn't think there had been a lot of novels written about the dystopic economic future. Having, like the rest of us, gone through the whole 2008 financial debacle I thought I had plenty of material. My reading on what happened in 2008 is that we dodged a bullet. I feel as if that bullet is still whizzing around the planet."

BiraIgnacio··on Rare: A Documentary
‘RARE’ unveils what stands between the families fighting rare disease, hoping for treatments, and the emerging groundbreaking therapies available.
BiraIgnacio··on AI Killed the Tech Interview. Now What?
I don't think it did, if anyone cares. The way I've been advocating to my colleagues who are concerned about "cheating" is that there's probably a problem with the interview process. I prefer to focus on the think, rather than the solve.

Collaborate, as opposed to just do.

Things that really tell me if I can work with that person and if together, we can make good things.

BiraIgnacio··on Gut microbiota functions:metabolism of nutrients and other food components(2017)
The diverse microbial community that inhabits the human gut has an extensive metabolic repertoire that is distinct from, but complements the activity of mammalian enzymes in the liver and gut mucosa and includes functions essential for host digestion. As such, the gut microbiota is a key factor in shaping the biochemical profile of the diet and, therefore, its impact on host health and disease. The important role that the gut microbiota appears to play in human metabolism and health has stimulated research into the identification of specific microorganisms involved in different processes, and the elucidation of metabolic pathways, particularly those associated with metabolism of dietary components and some host-generated substances. In the first part of the review, we discuss the main gut microorganisms, particularly bacteria, and microbial pathways associated with the metabolism of dietary carbohydrates (to short chain fatty acids and gases), proteins, plant polyphenols, bile acids, and vitamins. The second part of the review focuses on the methodologies, existing and novel, that can be employed to explore gut microbial pathways of metabolism. These include mathematical models, omics techniques, isolated microbes, and enzyme assays.

BiraIgnacio··on Ask HN: What is the best thing you read in 2024?
Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki

Heart warming, heart breaking, sad, funny. And a great story.

BiraIgnacio··on Ultra-low-latency, batching and concurrent queue for IPC in Java
Super cool, nice work!
BiraIgnacio··on Safe C++
I absolutely love this, not just because of the safety aspect but because of how expressive it seems to be.
BiraIgnacio··on Ask HN: Is the Job Market That Bad?
What I find paradoxical is that despite the fact there's a lot of people "on the market" (or so many say), I'm having a hard time finding software engineers to fill a few open positions.

Granted, I work for a small company doing things that may be considered boring and maybe people are looking elsewhere.

I would be curious to know if that feels like the case for other companies too.
