Lately I've been using: https://janet-lang.org/ It's not a systems programming language, but it can be embedded in C.

https://jank-lang.org/ looks interesting to me --I have not tried it yet. I'm not sure if this language could qualify as a systems programming language. What do you think?

I am currently getting treated for Folicular Lymphoma, so I've been looking into complementary treatments for myself.

I saw a video on youtube -- wait, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikSlMlMFS7M -- from a medical journal former editor / writer guy who cured his throat cancer or maybe it was skin cancer, but he talked about both, with topical treatments using food grade hydrogen peroxide (h2o2). (I forgot the strength he used -- maybe 35%. But do not swallow this stuff -- very harmful to ingest, only apply it topically at specific points.) Anyway he was talking about brain tumors and how for some kinds there are no good treatment options and he conjectured that injecting these kind of brain tumors with the 35%(?) h2o2 could wipe them out. This is because most cancer cells are highly susceptible to h2o2 (way more than normal cells) A brain surgeon could do this using imaging guidance, etc.

Maybe you can find a surgeon who is already doing this type of treatment in a trial perhaps.

Three other options:

1. High dose vitamin C via IV. At very high doses, Vitamin C can wipe out cancer cells via multiple mechanisms. One of these is because VitC generates ozone in the cancer cells which destroys them in a similar method as if they had been dosed with h2o2.

2a. Get into ketosis via diet -- can selectively cause cancer cell death -- something to do with mitochondria metabolism changes in cancer cells. But, getting into ketosis is super difficult.

2b. Get into ketosis by supplementing with MCT (medium chain triglycerides) from coconut oil. The C8 component of this type of oil seems to have the strongest ketosis results. C8 MCT is processed by your liver and converted into ketones. Much easier than a keto diet.

3. Follow the Gerson therapy -- https://gerson.org/the-gerson-therapy/ -- lots of fresh pressed mostly veggie juices as the main component of the diet along with other things. This can also mimic a fast (another way to selectively kill cancer cells).

I'm doing 1, 2b, and starting to do 3 for myself. None of these are expensive and they are all very safe to do and you can do 2 and 3 at home.

I live near Chicago and I'm getting standard treatment at Illinois Cancer Specialists in Niles and the IVC treatments from Raden Wellness in Highwood. I'm working with an MD Oncologist and a Naturopathic Oncologist. So far so good!

Best of luck to your friend!!!

Where's the code? Is Sava OS free software / open source? Your site implies that it is, but I did not see any link to a public repo..

You're right, we're not being clear enough regarding this. In the last section & in the letter we do mention & give hints of open-source, and that's because it will be.

We really hope to have the code & documentation ready soon, but I can't promise any specific timelines at this point.

We'll try to adjust the wording to be more concise

I didn't see anything on the landing page that implied free software / open source.

Not the original commenter, but "Own back your data & software" to me reads as if self-hosting is supported, at minimum. There doesn't seem to be an option to download the server software, however.

I agree with @kkfx. lisp/clojure world is good to help with long-term maintainability, etc. To get an idea search for Rich Hickey's talk "Simple Made Easy"

Here's that talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxdOUGdseq4

Agreed: my father-in-law was continuously trashing his Windows install. Many years ago, I put him on Linux Mint + MATE where he only uses Firefox and a bit of LibreOffice -- he's been fine with this setup -- his only remaining issues (for the most part) are when his Yahoo Email interface changes, etc. And, he has not managed to trash it yet! ;)

Hold a vote among participants to cancel daily stand-ups. Agile is supposed to be about doing what works for the team and my guess is the stand-ups aren't working for a majority! ;)

The part that everyone forgets. The team is supposed to be empowered. These things shouldn't be forced on a team.

This is what my team usually does. We just make a poll on Slack if we want changes to the process. Works like a charm for the most part.

distrobox?

I came across this: http://www.doctoryourself.com/ears.html

I read this guy's book and he has some good ideas (and references to back them up). You don't need to get his book as his website also has all of that material+. http://doctoryourself.com/herpes.html

None of the above will help though in deciding between Postgres or MySQL ;)
