Just a few thoughts to add. Living in the Pacific Northwest, home of Starbucks and a bunch more vendors, caffeinism is nearly a way of life. Around here it's pretty easy to find examples of the effects of overdoing caffeine intake, s

Wonderful quote, great wisdom. Interestingly, the passage speaks to ideas that exist across cultures, and throughout the centuries. It's remarkably similar to the philosophy of Spinoza, particularly embodied in his seminal work, the

Even better, looks like there are a few programmers (CPP and HTML) >60 years old, though the graph shows n=0 for those data points, so do those guys actually exist? If so, the oldest programmer is 86.4, now that's impressive.

It's troubling the way this article presents the issue. Treating chronic pain is an enormously complex problem that clinicians have to deal with, especially as it gets bound up with collateral pitfalls of drug dependence, politics of

Yes but can we say human memory is not also (at least in part) a product of timing? Conceivably memory is mediated by synchronizing activity of certain neurons, after all, phase coupled neuronal signaling[0] is an element of brain function

As a clinician research showing cognitive abilities varying with age is unsurprising. Unfortunately the full report is hidden behind a paywall. The article mentions a plan to make the datasets used in the study publicly accessible. That&

Actually I don't. According to Firefox help, "private" browsing avoids saving history of pages visited, searches, cookies, etc. It also activates tracking protection, but otherwise doesn't stop ads which is the point of

Of course it's a valid choice to go along with turning off ad blockers, that's always up to the individual. It might well be better, and less hazardous, to pay for content than be subject to ads. This issue comes up re: science j

Seems like the time for each of us to create a policy re: websites that try to coerce us into turning off the ad blocker. Personally, I strongly dislike such attempts to manipulate me, when a site makes demands of this kind, accordingly my

Curiously the list of supported platforms includes NetBSD and OpenBSD but not FreeBSD. Since FBSD can run gambit, and install it as a package, it would seem LambdaNative should work on FBSD. Haven't looked into the question yet so ma

Strangely enough, this PDF appears to be a completely empty document. All I get is a blank, 1/1 page. Have to regard it as, well, not informative... (Let's hope whatever the error, it gets fixed.)
