Neither Github Copilot nor GPT4 are worth your time. At best they partially guess the name of a function you're thinking about typing, at worst they give you almost a correct answe…

The 15mg/d they used in that study is just the standard dietary intake (top end, europeans). Looked a number of other studies that also used just regular intake levels as "suppleme…

This research doesn't claim to show any cause of ADHD, it's only showing potential exacerbating influences on, or at least confounding factors of, the severity of symptoms those wi…

Good luck finding high quality cheap developers in any language really. Very few good developers are language specific so unless your HM is an idiot and actively screens out candid…

This is hardly the first time that Glucosamine use is associated with lower cancer/mortality risks: https://ard.bmj.com/content/79/6/829 - Associations of regular glucosamine use w…

Seeing code that goes all in on OOP absolutely makes me cringe as I know it generally means the unit tests are going to be more complex than they would be in an FP environment, the…

> most of the time if one assertion fails, rest of the code is useless anyway You either don't write tests or you're already writing them in the right way (sounds like the later). …

I was doing the double red donation for a while before running out of hematocrit. Read about this study and decided to go back to donating but this time just doing the standard who…

I work in a predominantly Scrum division with rigidly set iteration lengths (technically not scrum as this should be decided by each team, I know). It is horrible, so much wasted t…

Yeah, if you're not programming your models in binary then gtfo imposters!! On a more serious note, yes understanding this and anything really takes time and investment. The proble…

I set up a job posting sentiment analysis ML app on the Who's Hiring post recently and use a the public firebase REST API: https://github.com/HackerNews/API . It mostly works for m…

The studies I've seen relaying the same sentiment of no appreciable benefit only looked at a single outcome, normally bone density or bone fracture occurrence. Vitamin D levels aff…

I did uberman in grad school, kept it up for a few months. It technically did give me more hours in the day, however most of that free time was spent on either making sure my sched…

Videos on YouTube are selling advertisements so wouldn't this apply here?

Great write up on the nature of fear! It's amazing how much the mind can fight to deny the reality of the situation you're in during such episodes. The dull chest pain sticks aroun…

There are plenty of jobs which are meaningful yet worthless from a capitalistic respect. I've turned down plenty of jobs in the past that would provide much more benefit to the wor…

Legal issues haven't stopped mandatory curfews in the event of other emergencies. I've been under them in the past after really bad hurricanes. As long as it doesn't specifically t…

This is why the "Universal" aspect of it is so important. It's ridiculously easy for people to vote for defunding services that "other" people benefit from, and politicians can alw…

liver == steak * 1000 Only problem is being able to stomach liver a few days every month. I know it's a super food but I'll be damned if I can eat it more than once every few month…

Way too stingy. Engineers here make $14,000 - $33,000 / month, average is closer to the bottom of that though. Those engineers have executives too.

No family? Also if we were talking about the US (which the article was) then you have to factor in healthcare, average of $200 a month for the insurance IF it's sponsored (mostly c…

They're right from the gender standpoint, according to the UN which ranks China as having better gender equality than the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_Inequality_Index

They took a hit in EU for it as well. You probably were referring to their sino-servers but they do get a hint of what we see over there. Before Blitzchung they were already facing…

We're already starting to get a lot of Whataboutism in the comments here. Yes there are other issues in the world, do you really think we're not aware there's a lot of bad stuff go…

Sounds rough, good luck coping. I think you're on the right track with prioritizing break time. The more stressful something is the more of a need to cooldown afterwards.
