This study tested a single hypothesis for why low-carb diets work. The diet provided is not "low-carb" in the sense usually meant (30 g of carbs or less daily). To extrapolate from this study that all low-carb diets don't wor

Negotiate as high a price as you can, not necessarily aggressively, but enough so that they know you take yourself seriously. Then take anything over 10% less than that.

They can view and change information in transit, yes. Don't login to anything on their network because they see (and possibly log) it all. The workaround would be some sort of VPN, but my guess is that they've done their best to

I went through several gyrations including a monster 17 inch i7 laptop, several thin and light chromebooks. The chromebooks were very nice, with crouton I was able to run jetbrains IDEs and that was 80% of what I needed. But the portabiliy

I had a very different experience. I was diagnosed late in life, and the struggles to do simple things would blow up my depression. This created massive amounts of anxiety, and that led to a rough time at home with my wife and daughter. I w

I've used a lot of databases over the past 25 years. From DBase flat files to the Borland Database Engine to MSSQL (pre and post 2K), Interbase / Firebird, DB2, PostgreSQL, MySql/MariaDb, Sqlite and more. I haven't used

Free Pascal and The Lazarus Project are great fun to play with if you just want to re-experience the fun of Delphi and Turbo Pascal. In fact, a lot of Turbo Pascal has been completely re-created. This was the first programming language I le

That's a pretty horrible article. There are security extensions to Linux like SELinux. There is nothing stopping anybody from forking Linux into a more secure version. That would be the best way to solve the problem. The only result of

Isn't most of the draw of Amazon Lambda that you can hook everything else into a simple api hosting service? I doubt there are any direct competitors, at least at that scale. Here is a discussion: https://www.quora.com/

In many cases, "amateurs" are the professionals. At a local university, all electrical engineering students are required to get a ham radio license. Many radio engineers are also licensed amateurs (how else do we get an amateur re

While there are some exceptions to the rule, yes this is a problem. But much of what you are going to do with amateur radio links is amateur-related with a custom software stack. Non-amateurs probably see this as a way to connect to the int
