Picaridin and DEET are roughly equal in effectiveness, but picaridin is safer for pets, and doesn't have a nasty habit of destroying synthetic fabrics.

Conversely, a doctor told my dad he couldn't have Lyme because he didn't have a bullseye rash. That resulted in a significant delay in treatment, and probably in permanent damage. I'm still mad about that.

Channels and `async/await` are orthogonal. Channels are a way of communicating and coordinating between concurrent tasks; `async/await` are an alternative to blocking function calls (or an alternative form of blocking function cal

`await f()` is more convenient than simply `f()`? I don't get it.

What would be the point of async/await when goroutines are already n:m green threads?

No, the original conversation was about the perceived decline in quality at NPR. You then popped in to say that it was up to the local affiliates, not up to NPR, because these aren't "NPR shows" (by your own personal definiti

NPR does not say Fresh Air is "not an NPR show". They say it is produced by a member station. You are then superimposing your own personal definition of "NPR show", which Terry Gross for example does not share, onto

I assumed you were trying to distinguish shows like A Prairie Home Companion, which was distributed by American Public Media, from shows distributed by NPR; and that you were simply mistaken about Car Talk. That would have been a somewhat m

That was in Sweden, which has naming laws. The US does not have similar laws.

The "obstruction" is simply disobeying the court order to block certain accounts, right? It's hard to imagine that disobeying a Brazillian court order could be considered a crime in the US when the underlying court order is o

The extradition treaty with Brazil only applies "if the offense(s) committed are considered crimes by both countries"[0]. That is almost certainly not the case here. [0] https://br.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-service

`revng/orchestra` is from the same organization as the package itself, so it's odd to bring that dependency up; if there's a maintainer integrity issue with it, surely there's one with the package itself. And `python3-pi

It can make sense if you don't have a garage, and there's a lot of pollen and whatnot where you park. If I don't wash my car ~twice a week, it ends up looking pretty funky.

Is there? A credit card transaction can decline if you exhaust your credit limit. How is that different from bouncing a check?

Sorry, I realized I misread your previous comment. I thought you were saying the markup on a PCIe drive for the Mac Pro was too high. Now I understand you were referring to the markup on the Mac Pro itself.

The description[0] states: "Compliant with PCIE 4.0 X4 80Gbps full speed support." But I suppose it could be inaccurate. [0] https://www.amazon.com/M-2-Adapter-Aluminum-Heatsink-Solutio...

If GP's mother switches from driving for herself to having Waymo drive for her, her risk of injury will increase . Therefore, if her goal is to avoid injury, it would be counterproductive for her to make that switch. That conclusion d

Another potential causal mechanism might be that people in cognitive decline have their "daily cup of coffee", forget they've already had it, and then have another.
