What is the "80% cause" of chronic inflammation most people should be aware of, so that people may be able to make lifestyle changes to reduce it? What blood tests can I have ordered to measure it?

You would think the therac-25 was enough of an engineering lesson on designing safety-critical systems in software that lack hardware redundancy. Maybe they didn't consider the door handles "safety critical".

Was just about to link this. I was a part of this scene at age thirteen! Was largely how I taught myself fundamentals of programming and how to solve problems. When I'm feeling particularly nostalgic, I'm occasionally tempted to f

As surveillance of social media ramps up, either by the government or by angry mobs, they're rapidly growing to be essential to use any unencrypted platform.

I believe it says quite a lot when a major and supposedly reputable institution like the WSJ will sacrifice journalistic rigor when they see an opportunity to potentially besmirch the image of a sharply unpopular demographic. Facts still ma

If inflation is lower than the rate the federal reserve hikes rates to, you can ride out stagflation in money market funds and other types of income-generating investments. The real pain is when it doesn't. Stocks decline, cash decline

I'm sure it isn't luck but at the same time I watch these things and genuinely don't understand how they do it. Particularly the whole thing of seeing and reacting that quick. It reminds me of how bad I am with rhythm games.

To have something that is genuinely private and would qualify for listing in the app store, options are pretty limited. I don't think they allow developers to use onion services or anything like that. You could host the server in other

I think of this concept every time a friend of mine keeps speeding on the highway and brags about not getting caught.

Closest example I could think of would be Hans Reiser/Reiserfs. It's a more sordid story than just getting hit by a bus, though. Ultimately the project just died.

It's not ionising radiation, so probably not all that dangerous at the dose and time.

Certbot has this down to a science. I haven't once had to touch it after setting it up. 6 days doesn't seem like an onerous requirement in light of that.

In an early example of conspiracy theories that would eventually envelop social media, I actually remember internet commenters pointing to the previous generation of these as supposed "proof" that the government was embedding RFID

One major reason I'm working extra years despite being FI is so I have money to provide for memory care for my parents if they end up needing that. They have downright nothing to their name and memory care can easily run into half a mi

I've found the best ways to use AI when coding are: * Sophisticated find and replace i.e. highlight a bunch of struct initalisations and saying "Convert all these to Y". (Regex was always a PITA for this, though it is more de

It's not legal federally. Not that I agree with giving him shit about it, but the federal government basically considers it the same thing as fentanyl. Don't admit it on any federal application.

Back in the days when Google was still driven largely by Pagerank, I remember googling the phrase "click here" for shits and giggles. The top links were for Flash player, Silverlight, and Java. Meaning that these were the most com

Seems pretty common sense to me that you're gonna have more people with hidden cancers coming in to get CT for phantom pains, etc and later discover they had cancer all along. That doesn't mean CT caused it. Did the study control

MRI doesn't use ionising radiation so it's a stretch. Most likely cause would have to be some toxic effect of the contrast dye (as opposed to any sort of ionising radiation), but no compelling evidence exists for that.
