I tried a bunch of supplements and herbs. Some worked, some had nasty side effects, and most did squat. The short list is I tried: Piractem, GABA, Rhodila Rosea, Cocamine (chocolate extract), gluractone (red bull ingredient), various ephedr

I have never been addicted to cigarettes and do not smoke but I do chew nicotine gum all the time for ADD (and yes there is a difference between ADHD and ADD). I took me a while to figure out that nicotine is a superior stimulant over caffe

While this is fascinating I still can't believe we still have never observed many shark species giving birth particularly Great Whites.

Unfortunately for insurance reasons you need some sort of medical reason other than GBAT [+]... luckily there seems to be no end of classifications of ailments and diseases (for better and worse). That is you really can't go to a docto

Many people do not realize that one can get professional help that does have academic rigor and will be somewhat paid for (depending on insurance coverage). If you can get over the still present social taboo of going to a therapist I highly

Lukas Eder has a fantastic blog about SQL, Java, FP, and his library jOOQ: https://blog.jooq.org/ . One of the things I sometimes find tricky with SQL is pattern matching a problem to a solution. It can be tricky to describe

I have no doubt about the stigma... but one should be careful about letting stereotypes into their decision process particularly when it comes to hiring and race. It is not just morally wrong it is against the law (at least in the US). I&#x

GT grad here (1999-2003). While I'm not Indian I do have a ton of Indian friends and yes GT does have a large Indian percentage (by observation from when I was there). I can't speak if the CS degree has been diluted but I will say

I have a hard time understanding how Trello is worth that much money. Does it really cost 1/2 billion to get 19 million users and a Trello like app built? Is the Trello team really worth that much? Was Trello that threatening to Atlas

Well "new" is sort of relative (and thus nebulous) so lets ignore that. This 2017 as my company moves things closer to the data I have been using lots PL/pgSQL. I may eventually port some of the code over to Rust once I play

Well that is what I'm wondering. One of the big issues is real estate. I wonder if it would be more viable instead of just going 2D to make a more 3D system (ie stack plants ala hydroponics). Obviously the sun is way more efficient and

I think I like the farmbot.io idea a little bit better as it seems far more practical. After all I'm not looking to grow all my food but mainly the dirty dozen vegetables/fruits (as well as seasonal ones I like). One of the main

One thing Apple needs to fix ASAP is online (iCloud) and offline storage (iPhone). Almost all my family members are having issues with running out of space on their iPhone. Some even bought additional iCloud to improve storage space only to

Since this is New Years and I have... had a few... but not too many since I have new son (3 weeks old who is sleeping hence why I'm writing this nonsense instead of wasting time at a party) I want to come to a more broader conclusion.

This is actually a problem with a lot of languages that allow runtime template like String interpolation. For example Groovy on the JVM has GStrings which one can do fairly nasty things. As well it actually is fairly hard to lock down most

No they invented their own build system and tools (Bazel). Although some of the tools are open source the true distributed compile scaling stuff I think is still not.

I'm a lowly ancient Java programmer and I think Rust is far far more than safety. In my opinion Rust is about doing things right. It may have been about safety at first but I think it is more than that given the work of the community.

It is funny he doesn't mention OCaml (because of his work with it). Yes OCaml has a GC but from what I recall it has a rather low overhead GC (in terms of latency. I need to find source but I remember it being impressive compared to ot

I would not be surprised if Vue becomes long term one of the major winning js libraries that is the goto library just like jQuery did. I remember when jQuery came out and there were all sorts of existing make-js-dom-ajax-easy libraries alre

Interestingly OCaml is 1996 (which is the language the original Rust compiler was written in). Maybe access to faster internet connections caused the rapid language explosion (I remember broadband cable starting to be available at that time

In my experience a single reusuable tote bag can carry 8x of a typical grocery store plastic bag. We have bags that are 6 years old and probably been used more than 200 times. They are polypropylene bags which apparently are often made fro

I would love to build more devices but the thought of installation always bothers me. I always hate having to hang things on a wall. It requires either finding a stud that is close by or using a crappy dry wall screw or molly screw. I'

Totally agree. Just to clarify when I was referring to sunlight I meant the crappy overhead lights that try to "imitate" sunlight and not the actual sunlight. However while I generally like sunlight I find it a little too variable
