The comment above just said “sleeping pills” which is ambiguous. Melatonin is an OTC supplement. True “sleeping pills” are usually controlled substances and few doctors would prescribe them as first-line options for a patient who shows up w

Magnesium L-Threonate is actually very cheap to produce. There’s nothing special about it other than the patent. There were some generic versions available but the Magtein people go after them. They have to in order to protect their cash co

I don’t think it’s AI-generated, but it is repeating a lot of the points that are commonly repeated in supplement ads: The claim that Mg L-threonate is special originates from the person who patented it and sues anyone else who produces it.

Histamine has different pools, functions, and receptors in the body. You’re reducing it all to one single level that goes up or down with diet but that’s not how it works. The brain histamine in your neurons is primarily synthesized from an

I signed up for Oracle Cloud. I couldn’t get any of the free trial options to work due to capacity limits. I couldn’t get my payment method added so I could pay for real servers. Then they terminated my free trial early with no explanation.

This used a 500Hz display which hides a lot of the problems that would show up on slower displays. The XWayland result is 3ms slower, which at refresh rates this high makes me wonder if it was one frame behind. Running the tests at 120Hz or

With the exception of XWayland, all of the tests had input latencies within a very small range. No human could tell them apart by those latency differences alone. I would be amazed if someone could notice the 3ms difference jump to XWayland

Many PC games have dynamic resolution, too. The reason consoles target 60fps is because that’s the frame rate you get with most TVs and everyone playing the game has the same hardware (or couple variants). > Especially in competitive gam

This is Linux 0.11 from 1991. Someone is having fun with a side experiment that has no practical real-world implications. This stuff is supposed to be fun and we should celebrate when other people are doing fun, pointless things like this.
