Based on the earlier discussion, I have to wonder why C requires forward declarations if it's using a compiler that performs 4 passes and has dependency checking that even other la…

Based on the literature I've skimmed or watched, I find the correlation between NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) and T2D interesting. It seems that fat is distributed in d…

I think the three strikes law he signed helped to offset the long-term effect of those job losses on the unemployment rate as well.

Sideshow (actual) geeks used this trick to keep chickens from wriggling when they bit their heads off. Heard so from my dad. Not sure where he heard it. Avid reader, but he was a j…

I think that even the idea of climate change turns many people off. It's likely not a binary choice, but altruism and egoism play a role in people's opinions about big issues. Whet…

From the legal documents I skimmed, it looks like the state hospital association, state medical association, and american medical association were on the side of the defense. The S…

The app itself is entertaining, but a lot of false alarms. My favorite so far was a county worker who tripped my camera with his...i want to say water collection tool...from off ca…

My sense is that unless content creators get views for calling out the behavior of other content creators, they risk losing likes and advertising revenue. Then they become the poli…

Ideally, public naming and shaming should be enough. Unfortunately, unless you get views for calling out bad behavior, doing so can cost you likes. This might have some content cre…

Trying to think through the alternative presented: If the application is the only way to access the data, it would appear consistent until it wasn't. Assuming two application proce…

Well, anecdotally, liaisons. Prior to a trip to the French part of Switzerland last year, I practiced my French pronunciations instead of learning word banks. I was able to hear mu…

I was just diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. My troubleshooting has definitely declined some in the past five years. I was break-fix, however, for a good part of it, and a patch t…

That's roughly what they do at my company. Many people in the company have some form of Computer Science certificate/degree, so shouldn't be that hard to make them develop...but yo…

Gerrymandering can be used to unseat an incumbent, but often it creates a safe district for one. The candidate can then loan out their warchest to members of their caucus running i…

I think it depends on the developer's focus. The project I maintain was written by people who were network programming enthusiasts, so it has a number of different TCP-based transp…

I haven't bothered to leave reviews. The Dunning-Kruger effect would cause many to see it as the ramblings of a loser, anyway. Sucks that the average two year tenure looks like: Ye…

Feels more like Oracle than FAANG with some of these moves.

They don't need to influence all of us to affect all of us. U.S. taxes are funding Al-Nusra in Syria at Israel's (who hospitalizes them) and the Saudis' request in a larger war on …

I don't remember where I read it, but there are supposed centers in America for which virtues are held in high esteem. Intelligence was Cambridge, MA, wealth was Manhattan, NYC, po…

Working on legacy codebases better designed than I could have come up with hasn't been much of an improvement for me. There is a certain quality of "habitable" for a codebase that …

Try an exercise called face pulls. You'll need a cable machine with either a rope handle or a towel and google or, preferably, a trainer. Unless you're unconsciously hunching your …

This sitting style worked fine for me for a decade. It takes the pressure off your lower back. However, I'm now starting to get shooting pains where you least want them since all t…

I'm thinking it's more of a software business life cycle. Microservices are somewhat easier to deploy, which makes it easy for developers to add capabilities to be used by UX devel…

I tried looking into ways to improve my problem-solving a few years ago. I think problem-solving changes depending on whether or not you know the end goal. Problem solving without …

Ceylon or Cassia cinnamon?
