I know someone with what we thought was MCAS, but it actually ended up being Alpha-gal Syndrome. Knowing that made the whole thing much easier to deal with.

The thing with all these autoimmune diseases: they have the same foundational problem. Their is something in the blood that doesn’t belong there and it resembles some part/cell of our body. Our body builds white blood cells to destroy

I'm not saying the article is wrong, but here's why I think we've struggled to have the year of the Linux Desktop: the corporations want control over users and computers that are on the network. They like their Windows domain

It's the "sodium benzoate + ascorbic acid = benzene" problem. Watermelon + Dr. Pepper = cancer.

AMC should start showing Chinese and Korean dramas. That would help them a lot. I'm sure that they could work a deal with those studios that would let AMC set the ticket price. There hasn't been an American-made movie since Lord o

The whole place-and-route thing is completely wrong for using FPGAs as accelerators. We don't need an optimal layout, we need a tiled layout (like the GPU does). All that we need for this to happen is for the companies making the FPGAs

Note: please don't turn your screenshots and digital art into JPG. JPG uses compression based on natural lighting. It works well for photos, but it's the wrong solution where run-length encoding will do much better (e.g. in screen

This helps me: don't do social media or any news or any thumb-memory-based anything in the morning. Don't grab your phone first thing. Just let your mind slowly warm up to work -- the legit work that you need to do. When your brai

What I want: take scan/photo of a document (including a full book), pass it to the language model, and then get out a Latex document that matches the original document exactly (minus the copier/camera glitches and angles). I feel

Try fasting. Go 24 hours without food and little (water) or no drink. Do this once a month when you don't have cancer, and maybe more when you do. The theory behind it: Some cancers such as Chordoma are reliant on mTOR, which fasting i

I sold a house when I moved and used that equity money to make the house payment at my new location while in school. If you don't have a lot of kids and/or your spouse brings in just a little money, you can make it okay on the gra

I went back to school for a PhD at the age of 41. I was burned out on programming, I was lacking in theory, and I was ready to see the other side of the country for a few years. I'm now in my fifth year of that. It might take me anothe

I've pondered on this question some. Is there such a thing as an objective talent rating? For example, if you take a group like Dream Theater, and look at the skill of each member of that group vs the skill of each member in the typica

37 seems like a high number; turn some of them into apartments instead. Put shops on the bottom floor like they do in Europe.

So who manages Pypi? This document seemed vague on that. Maybe that's the problem with Pypi's progress in life. Most packages on Pypi are complete crap. It's also heavily burdened with domain-specific applications and one-off

GLPK or GLPK_MI? GLPK is probably the worst tool you could pick. I tried it before on some of my problems, and it would not ever finish. Use OR-Tools, if it will work for your problem, or maybe one of the other free solvers with CVXpy will

This book has software engineering concepts that I never did see or hear anywhere else: "Expert C# Business Objects". Its concepts are language agnostic, even though it has C# examples. You might try some videos by the author of t

As a graduate student, I have decreased my note-taking-during-lecture over time, especially if I know I'll have access to the professor's notes. However, I now take notes on papers I read, some textbook and lecture notes I read, a

I don't need AI to make art; I need it to extrapolate. Suppose I want to make a movie or a game. I can come up with some distinct art for characters and places and things. I want the AI to extrapolate from that information and build th

The article doesn't go into pointers to interfaces, which is a place of many footguns. It also leaves out generics. Suppose I have this structure: type State[TValue cmp.Ordered, TCost any] interface { TransitionTo(context Conte
