Can you elaborate on this role and why it's important for some research on a rare degenerative illness to be known by people who are suffering said disease? (Genuine question, I don't know editor's role in academia at all)

I'm pointing out that it is technologically possible to do so, and I do not want to bet my life that Apple's code has no bugs. I've been writing code for 20 years, no one can convince me this shit won't ruin at least one

Same for me. I started very recently but it improved my productivity very sharply (not just work, also hobbies (music) and cleaning). I use habitica (no affiliation).

Ok but that seems like a pretty niche need. I need all my music, movies and pdfs to be in all 3 of my computers. That seems like something one would need more than that.

I spent about 2 years using 1:1 THC:CBD weed. I do this by mixing THC and CBD strains/edibles since it's cheaper that way (because CBD is federally legal so it's cheaper to get online from Oregon etc). After quitting alcohol

Quit drinking a year ago. I still drink one beer max if social setting requires it and I limit it to like once a week tops, ideally once a month. Best decision I made in my life. If I want to get tipsy to enjoy some movie or music, I just t

This is very heart breaking. I love my cat just like a child, he's my everything, and I spend an important part of my day, playing with him, taking care of him etc. Seeing him dead would absolutely devastate me: but being a 20 somethin

For an example of contrary, one can check Agda. It is not Turing complete, but a useful language (I personally wrote many parsers in it and its Haskell FFI is pretty good so you can essentially write unsafe parts of your programs in Haskell

> roll your own from sockets directly (good luck supporting WebGL) I'm sorry (not experienced in graphics) but why would you need WebGL for a multiplayer? Can't you have a normal 3D renderer that has a connection to server?

It probably harmed some organisms, just not any organism that could complain about the adverse effects to us humans. This thing happened 1.7 billion years ago, in Precambrian eon. So when this natural nuclear reactor was active there weren&

If it's exactly what I want, then I'd be ok. It's just that, that never happened to me. The closest I came was, I was checking a regex and realized I missed some cases, so I copy pasted the regex string from SO. I can't

It's more like a writer using an autocomplete tool to write the first chapter to their novel.

It wouldn't be farfetched to call these institutions concentration camps for indigenous Canadian children, given that mass graveyards were found. It's not unusual to disguise concentrations camps under euphemistic names such as &q

I have never met a single person in my life who didn't ghost multiple people especially in business and dating. Like I receive 10 messages from LinkedIn everyday from recruiters trying to hire me when I'm not on the job market and

Sorry I phrased it wrong. I meant to say "not because". That "only" is extraneous.

That's scary. I used to be a hardcore insectaphobe, but I got over it over the last couple years. Now I don't care that much when I see insects in my house. But it is within reason! I wouldn't want bugs reproducing in my ho

Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 was among the worst nuclear disasters in history; not only because its human toll was so high, but also because it was the "final straw" -- so to say -- in public opinion in Western countries tha

I lived in Berkeley, there was no circle in which microdosing is more popular than going to a park. Sure, people know of microdosing, but nowhere even close to a majority do it regularly.

I think this has to do with seniority. When I was a lot more experienced than my coworker, doing pair programming was insanely fun. Because it felt like solving a puzzle with a friend, or exploring a video game with my sister. Now I'm

Right, so we need both. Defund the military, make sure rich people still pay their fair amount of taxes, and use that money to invest in science, education, healthcare, education etc.
