I think the point being made was diseases can be difficult to diagnose. Some diseases don’t have explicit tests. ADHD is diagnosed by looking at just symptoms if I remember correctly. I’m not sure about autism. I knew someone who became si

When I worked in an office with my linux machine, Libre office worked for me. No issues really. I didn't do anything super complex, but it was nice to be able to open those file formats. Though to be fair, I didn't really have a

Meetup is often used in the groups I'm in. A friend used to organize and it cost the organizers money but no the members. It was pretty ad free. Now they're asking members to sign up (and pay) for more feature (meetup plus). and

This is interesting. I grew up with “choose your own adventure” books which were like a solo adventure: (If you go on the north road turn to page 34 if you follow the river page 57) Many board games now have a solo mode with an automated pl

The plugin system is pretty amazing, and block themes allow really much better styling/ management of sites. It’s not perfect but its easy to use and a lot of people know how to use it. We switched our non profit to using it so we coul

“Hate speech” is usually reserved for speech involving people… can’t tell if it’s sarcasm. I use python, I don’t love it. Don’t really hate it either. You use it because it solves a problem or has a library that makes solving problems easy

Interesting that it was quasi legal in Italy. I remember being in Mexico City in the early 2000s and seeing dvds of software being sold. What was remarkable to me was some wasn’t games but professional applications like autocad and maya..

I don't think you can "cheat" at a clicker/experience game. I wouldn't sweat it. Even those javascript hacks posted on the page here are fair game. I finished the game. I don't begrudge anyone for making it go

I think what you are getting at is that life is all very similar. Most species have very similar genes. Why you can study genes in flies and yeast and worms and have it be relevant to human genetics. In very simplified biology genes just

I know from some of my peers that reviewed biology (genetics) papers, they weren’t compensated. I was approached to review something for no compensation as well, but I was a bad fit.

I’ve switched to Linux, and one of the hardest things was to find photo organization software. Adobe Lightroom was good this. I’m still sorting it out on Linux. I tried Darktable and found it really useful for editing raw files. Once you fi
