Thanks, and yes it is hard to tell for sure what is causing what (particularly since as you alluded to there is a huge variation between people when it comes to sleep). When I'm sufficiently rested in general (at least relatively spea

Alcohol is a GABA receptor agonist, similar to many sleep drugs. It isn't necessarly REM vs deep sleep; it sounds like alcohol is metabolized quickly enough that there can be a REM rebound effect later in the night when most REM sleep

I don't think it is the case that diphenhydramine (Benadryl) reduces REM sleep (or other antihistamines like low dose doxepin), at least not by much. Certainly it didn't seem to in my case when I took diphenhydramine before my sle

You can set various power settings that suggest that they are limits, but at least in the Skylake NUC I have they really don't do much and certainly don't limit the maximum power the system uses at all. The article doesn't t

Two comments from a quick look: 1) I recall a comment a while back from the xdelta author about how most history tools store a sequence of changes from nothing (as it sounds like yours does), but this isn't ideal since usually you want

My favorite bit of marketing ever is the Live from the Sierra Lounge casette from 1988 which is an advertisement for the Roland MT-32 and AdLib. The first side compares it to basic computer audio and side two is just music with several gam

I suspect another part is just that people only have so much time to read and consider such stories and all they really need to do is make it seem like the situation is more complicated than it seems (which sometimes is actually the case).

I haven't looked that often since it is easiest to try to avoid software that isn't in the main package system, but I rarely see PKGBUILD checked into the upstream project. It is more common in my experience that an upstream deve

It depends on how uncommon what you want is, although I agree it is very low effort in general. For example, there was not too long ago an issue with the kernel not booting from syslinux for a few weeks. Also, arch-announce mentions a man
