Most people talk food when inflammation is mentioned. But let's not forget, arguably, an even bigger contributor: stress - mental or physical, say via a chronic illness. Relevant: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/a

In this "modernization", they did end email subscriptions. Pretty sure it's headed to a gradual shutdown.

It sort of depends on the bubble you live in. In the US, things might be very different, but in rest of the world, Samsung isn't the only known Android phone manufacturer. Xiaomi is a well-known and rising (now the #3). Huawei was the

I have gone through 2 SSDs in my rMBP mid 2015 (16GB RAM). This was the last model with replaceable SSDs, I believe. I am on my third now: SMART/Health Information (NVMe Log 0x02) Critical Warning: 0x00 Temper

True that's possible if it were to get popular. But since this wasn't the popular extension, it'd seem it wasn't sold off.

Thanks for sharing the story. Just something interesting you might want to read into. False positives can be much higher than 0.5-4% figures, depending on how you look at it. Out of the positive results, about 13% [1] and 25% [2] were false

That's odd. I personally really like the Gutenberg editor for writing (and similar block-based editors like Notion). I have never experienced the lag on a dated 2015 laptop. Out of curiosity, which device you're experiencing the l

This year could be mainly attributed to e-commerce growth. WordPress has WooCommerce as a plugin. Shopify too had impressive growth this year.

I relate to this story. However, after several years, I figured the inflamed tonsils were just a side-effect of other issues. Check if you have postnasal drip, a deviated septum, or a nasal polyp. Several related chronic issues may also cau

That maybe only applicable to certain cases or is US-only. I was quoted ~$500 for rMBP 2015 due to swollen battery (which is entirely Apple's fault), from two of their authorized centers. I was told they assess the extent of damage and

It might not entirely be incorrect either. Very few deaths are officially reported but the deaths which weren't going to be reported, were of the same subset of people who never tested either, despite symptoms. So it would be safe to

Being out of touch from the Linux distro world, this is rather sudden. I still run CentOS on many of my dedicated servers (now known as bare-metal) from a decade ago. While almost everything else was all custom-built anyways, I guess the la

All about PR. Pretty sure they make the big bucks off the $1million+ earners.

Surely that's one of the many factors. The opposite is also true. For instance, pre-election, for some niches US FB ads bids were totally out of whack. Or the fact that it's been high ever since the COVID caused eCommerce boom, gl

And yet we'll have fans defending and arguing over something that's simply so inherently clear. It's all about money. Everything else is just an excuse.

Some people will misinterpret the conclusion. It varies significantly by age brackets not considered in the paper. A 40 year old would be mistaken to assume their fatality chance is 0.31%.

Seems like they have to overcompensate for the PR to appear as the good guys after all the PR damage they took lately. Nothing more, nothing less. Perfunctory privacy efforts.

It's perfectly normal to react and criticize failures of an almost monopolistic search engine, when the good content is outranked by inferior content.

It used to be terrible due to long parsing time but over the past 5 years or so, things have really improved, even more so in v8 recently [1]. Nowadays it's safe to just focus on the overall package size. And once it goes over a certai

Fair point. It does make sense if you really need to upgrade a very dated machine. However, I am assuming since the Macbooks are rumored to get ARM as early as late this year, it is likely iMac would follow next year too. The Developer Tran

It just feels wrong to buy anything new from Apple with "Intel Inside" - when they're clearly going to dump it soon, in favor of ARM (excuse me for not using the cringey term Apple Silicon).
