You need the placebo for the double blind RCT, which is still kind of the gold standard. But pronating patients is hard to do in a double blind fashion, so it is less of an issue here.

I can't find the icons in gimp on a recent ubuntu because they all look the same these days, every icon is just 'light grey geometric shape on dark grey' with no visual distinctiveness at all.

The latter. There is nothing inherently bad about the passive voice. What is bad is hiding agency so that actions that are taken for the benefit of some (usually rich or powerful) party are made to appear as the inevitable result of some ex

I think you missed a joke at the expense of the toothsome nightmare of après ski culture.

It is more likely that they were trying do deliberatly write a vague statement, their (native) German announcement uses the same "Genauigkeit", instead of the relevant terms "Sensitivität" and "Spezifizität".

Yes, and no. In runs nine tests in parallel (like Covid-19, influenza-A, influenza-B etc), but all on the same sample.

No, this is faster than e.g. the Roche tests mentioned here last week, it will give you the first test result after two and a half hours, while the Roche one will take three and a half hours to give you the first result. So it is faster. Bu

Three weeks later you will most likely still be in ICU if you have a severe case. It is better to catch it six or twelve months later when the first peak is over and treatment options may be better.

No, it is true. The point is that the code in the example is incompetently written, if you want to zero out a struct foo, you should memset sizeof(struct foo), not /* manually calculate what you think the size of foo will turn out to b

That is probably completely dependent on the infection you are treating. Sometimes it may be better to reduce stress on the patient, sometimes higher temperatures help stop the infection. After all, someone got a Nobel prize for infecting p

Given that the article talks about Icelandic kids no longer being heavy drinkers and the fact that nabla9 can read Finnish and so is probably not a naive English speaker, that sentence may just be an erroneous version of an intended "

If you have eight bit bytes, you would of course store these as three two digit BCD numbers requiring one byte each, and need no conversion logic. (The code for printing BCD numbers is already there, because you need it to print amounts of

Then you would need another column on the card, and there are even fewer columns on a card than there are bytes in RAM.

That‘s what “speeding up” in a 1/r potential means, you move to a higher energy orbit, which happens to be longer and slower. Classical physics can be weird, too.

One has plausibility and some evidence from DNA sequencing and mutation rates on its side, the other hasn‘t.

I think what ajross is arguing is that it is the author of the tutorial who is trolling here. It is all true what you and everyone else say against ajross‘ argument on the purely factual layer, it is just that the tone of the PSA is needles

IIRC they did it in Star Wars for the space battles (but it is forty years since I read about it, so may memory may be playing tricks on me).

Ah, no, I have been reading it wrong, the code is correct: given the "i % 3 ∧ i % 5" in the first case, the "i % 5" for the "Fizz" case is effectively an "i % 3 = 0". Clever. Readable? Maybe.
