Re stevia, apparently how you taste it is determined by how sensitive your bitter taste receptors happen to be. It’s somehow also related to why some people can’t stand cilantro, for example. For me, stevia is simply sweet with no aftertast

Not sure if you are familiar with this part of Canada, but it’s cold and the current temps aren’t close to the record lows. People are used to it.

I had a reasonable collection of Transactor magazine from the ‘80s. They were formative to my childhood and my love of writing software for my C64. But I had to let them go. I found a good and appreciative home for them and freed up some sp

In Go, when you export function names they are capitalised. Eg MyFunc() would be exported and myFunc() is not. This always looks so jarring to me and I’ve avoided Go largely because of it, which must rank as one of the more snowflake reason

An amazing start: “It was quite by accident I discovered this incredible invasion of Earth by lifeforms from another planet. As yet, I haven’t done anything about it; I can’t think of anything to do. I wrote to the Government, and they sent

Correct. There’s only one party putting money on the table here. “The seller pays the commission” is real estate agent doublespeak.

Often not. On hunting trips where I live, I'm away from all infrastructure on rough terrain for days at a time. I drive a Nissan Frontier and it grinds its way up steep logging roads for hours each day.

As far as I know, AI hasn’t succeeded in literally blinding anyone: https://mashable.com/article/bored-ape-nfts-vision-loss-apef... Molly White’s comment at the end is superb.

It's true that there's scope for an alternate MLS that's just for sale by owner listings. But as someone else mentioned, the buyer often uses an agent (I refuse to use the made-up word "realtor") and you'll hav

Interesting, thanks for the info. It's good that you found a simple dietary intervention that improved your life so significantly. I eat a lot of fish, mostly herring and almost every day, so I wonder if my omega 3 is high or could be

Same, we used a notary public for most of the paperwork and a lawyer for a bit of it. I think I calculated that we saved around $20,000.

Did you increase your zinc supplementation further? It sounds like you have had some success with self-treatment so I’m curious what you did.

I just checked mine out of curiosity as well. My last comment was in 2012, when I called someone an idiot for making Slashdot unreadable. So I guess I was part of the problem.

Yes, #3 in particular is important for many large corps where one team develops a library that may be pulled in by literally thousands of other developers.

I believe it's an Intel-managed distribution and is heavily optimised for Intel hardware. Not surprising it did so well as the tests in that article were done on an i9.

The worst is when people complain about "unlikable" characters or not being able to "identify" with them. Who cares? The book wasn't written so you could make imaginary friends and has zero to do with its literary m

Kind of the opposite of Paul Bowles, whose characters seem unable to grasp the alien cultures and situations in which they find themselves, to their peril. Since it's Bowles, most of the time "alien" means "Morocco"

Sure, but the entire point of the article was to get rid of batteries so I don’t understand what point you are making. This guy was trying to live life with solar panels connected directly to his devices, no batteries at all.
