Will watch Darmok tonight.

From the article:

"Human cartilage also responded

The researchers then examined cartilage taken from people with osteoarthritis who were undergoing total knee replacement surgery.

After one week of treatment with the 15-PGDH inhibitor, the human tissue contained fewer chondrocytes expressing 15-PGDH. Activity in genes associated with cartilage degradation and fibrocartilage also declined compared with untreated tissue."

[...]

"The findings do not yet establish that the treatment can regrow cartilage or prevent osteoarthritis in people. The mouse results and experiments on human tissue represent important early evidence, but clinical trials specifically testing cartilage regeneration will be needed to determine whether the approach is safe and effective for patients.

An oral 15-PGDH inhibitor has already reached clinical testing for a different age related problem: muscle weakness."

Got seg fault (gcc 15.2.0 on nixos 26.05) when writing to

    M[Z] = ...

Had to add:

    char fmt[] = "%d";

and change to:

    scanf(M=fmt,&C);

Works now:

    char*M,A,Z,E=40,J[40],T[40];main(C){char fmt[]="%d";for(*J=A=scanf(M=fmt,&C);
    --            E;             J[              E]             =T
    [E   ]=  E)   printf("._");  for(;(A-=Z=!Z)  ||  (printf("\n|"
    )    ,   A    =              39              ,C             --
    )    ;   Z    ||    printf   (M   ))M[Z]=Z[A-(E   =A[J-Z])&&!C
    &    A   ==             T[                                  A]
    |6<<27<rand()||!C&!Z?J[T[E]=T[A]]=E,J[T[A]=A-Z]=A,"_.":" |"];}

> Our dashboard also includes a 220V circuit. That makes it compatible with grid-powered devices (110V in the US, 240V in the UK).

Retro-look nit: all are outdated nominal voltages. The US is 120 V (since the 1960s), while the UK and EU are 230 V (since the mid-1990s).

Nice work! One minor point for me: it wasn’t immediately clear that you need to press Compile before Play gets enabled (e.g. Arduino IDE let's you upload right away and compiles if needed)
