    For those like myself who used Bartender as a way to get an extra menu bar for their offscreen items on small / notch screens (something Ice doesn't have yet ), I'm writing up the …

    It's by Vladimir Heiskanen. His blog hasn't been updated in a long time, but has articles explaining some of the principles behind red light therapy: http://valtsus.blogspot.com/

    I don't know of a device that can measure it at home, but there are mail-in saliva cortisol kits from companies like Genova Diagnostics, Labrix, and ZRT Labs. You usually send them…

    Sure, here's the ones I know of: Quest-only: DirectLabs, Personalabs Choice of Quest or DirectLabs: Walk-in Lab (switch the radio button to Quest on the category pages, and make su…

    I've tried DirectLabs, WalkInLabs, and Life Extension, and have been happy with them all. All of those companies are basically just "doctor ordering resellers" for the two big test…

    The key words would be to ask for an "iron panel". In most US states you can also order one yourself without a doctor's visit, but without much option of having insurance cover it.…

    For those unfamiliar with Upspin (as I was): "Upspin provides a global name space to name all your files. Given an Upspin name, a file can be shared securely, copied efficiently wi…

    I haven't noticed any difference, although I don't buy them frequently enough to make good comparisons. I've considered switching to frozen concentrate for a lower-cost approach. I…

    I maintain that toxinless.com page and usually buy the brands that claim to avoid flavor packs. It could be placebo, but I notice more flavor variation throughout the year with Cos…

    While we might be able to draw stronger conclusions from a larger study, the effects on the participants were strong, and the information might benefit the readers directly. So I'd…

    Here's one I know of: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13546783.2011.62... The idea is that some types of problems are best solved with the focus you can provide at your…

    I don't know of a particular example. I only mentioned that in the context of the json.human.js library apparently targeting non-techies.

    Agreed, Jason.app is really handy for browsing, validating, prettifying, and minifying JSON. I think the outline view is even less friendly for a non-technical person though, listi…

    I think the iOS icons always had a gloss, but they now have a strong bevel particularly noticeable on the bottom. I've noticed that icons with text or design elements overlapping t…

    Prior to Lion, Cmd+D means "don't save" in the dialog. With Lion, it's Cmd+Backspace.

    I've seen recommendations to use an affiliate aggregator like VigLink if you're in a restricted state. I don't know if there's legal issues with that, however.

    I think renownedmedia is referring to the dramatic improvements made to the open source Quake 1 engine. Admittedly, id Software doesn't profit from those improvements, but it's not…

    Agreed, they put a lot of thought into small conveniences that most other apps ignore. It's nice to have it grab e-mails as task items, and to just type "taskname 1w 1m" to create …

    I get this effect too with white and pink noise. I'm able to minimize it by playing an additional audio track with a predictable pattern, like ocean waves. That seems to satisfy th…
