It's from one hype to another. I feel like I may have missed the whole Single Page Application (SPA) boat. I am not saying that SPAs are still not popular or anything. But rather, I have started to see more push back against them or mo

I struggle with this a lot. I have a hard time knowing if I am going to need something in the future or if something is "YAGNI." I'm not sure if the issue is more common in web applications than in other types of applications

I think the talent risks are very company dependent. My back is against the wall at my current employer. As in, my employer had a return to the office mandate, and I had little realistic choice but to follow it. If I could quit and find ano

Isn't that somewhat of a survivor bias? People with ADHD on stimulants would typically have little to no side-effects because if they had moderate to severe side-effects, then I doubt a medical professional would keep them on stimulant

No VXUS/VTIAX? I am looking to debate its merits in one's portfolio, since it's such a hotly contested topic in some communities e.g., Bogleheads. I try to maintain some arbitrary split between the two, but I do not have a to

Huh, you are absolutely right. It's not an NSAID. Thank you for the correction. Sure, I do agree that NSAID have their own pitfalls. I am sure most, if not all, medications have pitfalls at some intersection between dosage and time. My

What is defined as noteworthy harm? Are we talking about noteworthy short-term effects or as far on the spectrum as death? I can think of quite a few substance which result in harm with sudden cessation after prolonged usage -- Alcohol, ben

I'll be the first to admit I know very little about acetaminophen, but what I know is that it can be good for breaking fevers and allegedly it's useful for pain relief (not my experiences)? I try my hardest to avoid it due to the

I've also heard that some people with unipolar depression might actually be misdiagnosed and have a form of bipolar disorder. SSRIs can potentially invoke manic/mixed states in some individuals with bipolar disorder, which might a

I mean, isn't that true of plenty of substances? What goes up must come down, to use such analogy. Take a look at many psychoactive substances. Sudden cessation after prolong usage typically presents as symptoms that are the opposite o

I concur. If I am not mistaken, it's quite difficult to separate signal vs. noise. I remember readying a study that observed that something like 50% of depressive episodes in people spontaneously resolve within a year without any treat

It's not just anti-depressants, no? If I am mistaken, we do not know why plenty of medications work -- especially those within in the domain of mental disorders. For example, why does lithium work, amphetamines, etc.? Obviously, we k

I'm not well versed in ancient Middle Eastern mythology, but what point are you trying to make? If these ideas were New Testament would it be more acceptable or less likely to occur or what?
