It's an approved drug. Fully licensed and considered to have a wide safety profile. Doctors don't need permission for off-label use. It's just not a thing. We're in strange territory where doctors (professionals) have be

I'm open to accepting an apology going forward If the research ethics approval board no longer accepts any of their proposals going forward. This kind of probing is more akin to an "operation" funded by government rather than

This really would have been harder for me to understand had I not taken linear and abstract algebra courses a few years ago. That area of maths reused common words like "rotation" but with more generalized definitions, which made

Yes but only in aggregate, like how adding a column to a database table is also adding a "dimension" to said data. I'm not convinced the author's analogy of cross-writing to fit more information on a page is actually goi

Keep in mind that this is an article of pre-suasion by the CBC which justifies Canada's current approach of funding government approved journalists and media companies. The argument is that if someone (government) doesn't fund and

Apparently there is hardware support for H.265 in the latest version of MacOS. I'm very eager to have it working/playing with the classic QuickLook shortcut from finder by simply hitting the space bar with a video file highlighted

Dart's static analyzer & lint rules: https://dart-lang.github.io/linter/lints/ Each rule has its own url. Tool therefore easily gives you a link.

Huh, well that makes a lot of sense. Three years ago when I was in University practicing for competitive coding we came across a limit in the performance (ms) we could get on even simple problems. The professor leading the practice poked aw

It's not up to customers to assume the good intentions of a large organization. Apple has internal decisions and processes that result in them not communicating in a timely manner. Whatever fallout from that is on them.

While I'm glad they fixed it (upgrading past Catalina was not going to happen), It's going to take me a LONG time to trust them again. The fact that they could rationalize their own thought process to think this was a good idea or

The disparity between MacOS and Windows on this point is particularly wanting. No scope field. No comment field.

I found myself going back to this the other day. I learned these long left/right formulas before I learned to program. Rewriting them really made me miss regex.

My prediction of the next most obvious built-in function after lambda and let: `=register(name, reference_or_formula, [scope])` that registers a defined name for the spreadsheet with code rather than the "Define Name" box.

Finally! This is something I've been wanting for years. There's always been this midpoint of complexity when making spreadsheets that coworkers will use. Including macros scares them away but using long, un-named formulas does not

Ok sure, all for it but as a business executive, the president of Microsoft can really stay the hell out of the process of coming up with that.

Apple Silicon is not ARM. Same architecture but this is all about the silicon and what extra hardware accelerated features can apple build into the OS by adding modules to their SoC. That will have little to do with the fact that it's

Obligatory post when this comes up of a presentation by Paul Vixie, who was responsible for BIND from 1989 to 1999 and very involved in forming dns protocols since then. Paul Vixie talks about DNS over HTTPS (EuroBSDCon, Oct 27, 2019) htt

Do we really want to give more control to google over DNS, not just on the internet but now your home network too? Google Home being a perfect example where they build a product assuming they have free reign over your home network, leaving

I guess that's good news for the Octave project. Unless we're fully heading towards 2 internets from the American side as well, I don't know how you would stop that from being downloaded in China. I would say they'll jus

Just dealt with this yesterday. It’s too bad because I really like the signatures I have saved under Preview. So I sign all signatures on a lease with Preview except for the very last one, which I did using a digital signature under Adobe R

I’d love an example if you have one. I’ve used assertions lots as guards or pre-condition checks on entering the function but never right before returning.
