These types of posts are recurring. The most generic version of this would be "brain shaped by experience". If two people are instructed to lift their finger, but one is told to po…

Depending on the rigidity of your conscience you could whip up some buzzword laden project with "blockchain" written all over it. Some suckers will throw money at that if you give …

There is literally no useful information in this article. It could be summed up as "everything people have been told is bullshit and we don't know what isn't". What a waste of time…

So many words, so little information.

You need to: 1) Figure out the type of person who caused the trauma 2) Learn their psychology/world view (there are books on abusive personalities) 3) Learn to recognise them quick…

FWIW nicotine in cigarettes is only as addictive as it is because tobacco also contains short acting MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors - harmane and harmaline, the same ones comb…

Update: So I discovered numerous services were sending data directly to Facebook, using some form of hashed identifier, presumably a hash of my contact info. The two big ones being…

I have all tracking settings possible turned off on my devices, including in the Facebook and Amazon apps. Usually the ads shown to me are random, great! Except whenever I use the …

Other platforms only look for similar content to what you've already seen. They don't take novelty into account. If you like one picture of a dog on Instagram it'll just show you m…

Allergies.

Define interesting. If by interesting you mean people who enjoy the same topics of conversation as you do then pick a topic. Figure out what people interested in that topic do, whe…

To all the people assuming we're reducing immigration because of some kind of phobia. The simple truth is we don't have anywhere for them to go. We have a near permanent homeless p…

Scrunching up the tissue into a ball creates gaps in the surface. The only logical thing to do is fold to maintain proper contact. Noobs.

Enzymes are proteins that accelerate chemical reactions. Genetic engineering is already used to manufacture some chemicals by modifying the DNA of microbes to produce the necessary…

The hypothesis that blocking noradrenaline (norepinephrine) is the mechanism of action here doesn't make any sense. In fact nothing about what the author states about noradrenaline…

Time tracking is self sabotage. It's better to estimate the hours required, quote for those hours and agree a completion date in advance. With time tracking you're inviting unneces…

This path leads to burnout. You have three weeks to find a new hobby. Your challenge starts now.

In other news: grass is green and the sky is blue, who knew?

Tell that to my hair follicles.

I speak some French but no where near fluent. Native English. I pronounce "oui" not as "we" but as you describe. The sound starts at the back of the tongue towards the throat and b…

Same way as after StackOverflow. A combination of thorough logging throughout the codebase at various levels of detail, one off print statements, then once it's narrowed down to a …

Website briefly flashes then disappears on mobile apparently.

Long story short over all these years I never bothered with Facebook. It turns out some hobby groups only exist on there, so I created an account about a week ago. I'm shocked at h…

Spotify in the early days used to be great for this. Their entire catalogue was browsable with fine grained genres. They ruined it and became useless for music discovery. If Last.f…
