As a long-time Louis fan it's sad to me he basically just complains even after leaving New York City. Also, when I met Louis IRL at one of his meetups he was actually super rude.
Hopefully he finds a way to be happy.
There are more than enough things to complain about. If somebody wants to have a YouTube channel where they just complain, why is that a problem?

There is an interview [0] with Hoeijmakers, who has championed the idea that the single root cause for both aging and cancer are faults in dna. Faults in dna prevent rna copies, aka _transcription stress_. One of his theses was that if faults in dna happen randomly, we would see aging the most in the largest genes. [1]
In his experiments [2] he was able to turn the knob of dna repair, also in humans, from "organism growth" to "organism survival".
Survival mode can be induced when confronted with food scarcity. If we can unravel the underlying mechanism, we should be able to enlarge our lifespan.

There was a Veritasium video about these two modes. Survival mode is triggered not just by food scarcity, but also by extreme heat, extreme cold, and one other thing (I forgot).

I have a strong feeling the developers behind sites like YouTube and Reddit don't actually use the software they make, because both are slow and laggy to use on any computer I use.
I just can't think of any other reason why they're both so infamously bad.
They use it but in Chrome on a maxed out MacBook Pro

We are getting fat because we stopped eating legumes and whole grains like we used to.
100 grams of uncooked lentils is 300 cal only and will make you feel full for 12 hours
There are many options: couscous, rice, air-fried potatoes, even pure popcorn (raw corn + vegetable oil) is healthy and very filling.
Watched it last year. The premise is great, but I thought that the acting was very poor.

Sounds like web performance optimization is more important than ever.

But is it really worth fixing these things? What do you achieve by spending time and money to fix these details, other than making users slightly less annoyed by your design? Maybe these details are not fixed because they don’t really matter that much. Have you ever stopped using an app because a button or icon was slightly misaligned?
