Obstructive sleep apnea increases cortisol levels which in turn decrease testosterone levels. Source: I have obstructive sleep apnea and low testosterone, both of which are being treated finally, and my income rose by... triple? quadruple?

So basically, Yishan left, he was the big proponent of it, and the rest of you are too chicken-shit or simply not knowledgeable enough about cryptocurrencies to deal with corporate risk concerns over it. Got it.

Have a test suite that is 95% unit tests. And structure it in a way that tests can run in parallel, across all cores. FROM THE BEGINNING. Because it's nearly impossible to make this change after the fact. Also, use a code profiler and

If you're that into math, I'm going to second the recommendation of the guy who recommended Haskell. Haskell is VERY math-y, in a way that most programming languages... aren't. ;) > the whole enterprise - just seems so stu

Yeah, I would fix all that. I'd run a fiber out there myself if that's what it took lol. And lag, lag is right out unacceptable. Of course, this is still merely a fantasy in my head at this time ;)

If it has a good Internet connection, and is well-ventilated, I bet half the people reading this would be OK with living there. I'd install a camera up top and hook it up to a large 4k display for a "window".

There's enough scientific studies out by now that show that marijuana use is not really a problem. The fact that an unjust law is still on the books just means that politics and law move too slowly. I don't know how anyone can sta

Saying it's so doesn't make it true. You can declare that an error is simply a special value returned and expect people to check for that value all over the place, or you can declare that errors are (literally) "exceptions&qu

I'm a little frustrated by posts like this because it tries to make me feel guilty about my natural and abundant curiosity. Which includes how he went. The same abundant curiosity that got me into Ruby early on in the first place.

DNA may or may not be one factor; gut flora may be another. The fact is that we now have proof that 2 mice can eat the same energy, burn the same energy and poop the same energy, and yet 1 will become fat and the other won't. Say what

The Internet was designed to withstand a nuclear attack and due to people intent on centralizing services, we have services taken down by nerds. I hope Tor ends up being resilient because it's also used by folks in oppressed countries.
