Hypothesis: lots of different micronutrient deficiencies (as well as factors unrelated to nutrition) can cause or exacerbate depression. For a lot of people, supplementing with a specific vitamin/mineral will help. For many others it w

Yeah, OmniGraffle is awesome for diagramming, but awkward even for low-fi wireframes.

Regionally, I can't think of any infrastructure that's under-utilized rather than over-utilized and under-maintained. There are a couple proposed projects that would be stupid to build in the first place, let alone over-build; bu

It’s kind of fascinating and depressing how culture around this has changed. The Brooklyn bridge was so overbuilt due to safety concerns that despite being constructed with bolts that turned out to be far weaker than the ones specced (due t

It’s interesting how much that can vary. I’ve met every one of my second cousins on 3 out of 4 family branches (one grandparent was estranged from their family). Those who live nearby I’m closer with than first cousins who live further away

If housing doesn't expand, prices would just presumably spiral upwards until waiters are paid as much as average tech workers and only the mega-rich can afford to eat out.

Right. Plus how often is an entire line backed up because the operator didn't crawl slowly enough past that misconfigured signal, so the emergency brake got triggered and additional action had to be taken to get the train moving aga

Correlation/causation? Seems safe to me to assume that insufficient housing supply causes both.

Perhaps start submitting PRs to open source projects, then?

Find a senior on your team whom you trust, and ask for uncensored, even brutal feedback. Just be clear that you can handle harsh critique and that you’re more concerned about learning than about having your feelings hurt. You can also do th

Well, since it's inside the plant instead of outside, it's less likely to wash into runoff. It's also presumably less toxic and carcinogenic to humans and to plants and animals that aren't pests. Not that I think this i

And by “reworking” they mean “undermining”?

If all your business logic and validation are on the client side, you have either a trivial app or a security disaster waiting to happen.

What's involved in recovering the data if the controller fails?

Really good point. It's worth noting that the bikes belonging to our official bikeshare here in NYC all have blinking white lights on the front and solid red ones on the back. You'd think a bike share would be able to get this r

1. Make “getting all our documentation in one place” a project. This will probably involve more decision making effort than actual time, if you already have the docs. The actual consolidation will likely be mostly copy and paste. 2. Make “g

No, it’s not normal. But it has nothing to do with masculinity. It’s not normal for women to be treated like that in the workplace either. Yes, in the workplace ultimately your boss has the last word and you have to do what they say (and pe

These days, Jira can be set up for a process exactly like Trello except with more structured fields on the ticket itself. And then you can add bits and pieces of structure to the process as you need. You can create both extremely rigid and

Yes. We have a choice of 4 plans and pay part of the premium for personal coverage. Family coverage is available under any of the plans but costs significantly more, and the company’s contribution to the premium is fixed. So the employee’s
