OK. Prove me wrong? How about at least an attempt at offering a counterpoint with cited sources? EDIT: (added all this word soup) In my non-scientific opinion, which is purely anecdotal, a while ago, back when ivermectin was a thing, ther

1. It's just a pilot study, and outpatient at that. 2. N = 42 is .. small.. but see: #1 3. Holy crap that's fascinating results!! Wow! Can't wait to see what happens in a Real study (RCT) with higher N. 4. I'm smirking

I see no contradiction here. :) My weeks are possibly in a similar range as yours, now that I'm no longer avoiding it, I haven't used the site in months. This lines up with my understanding that it's endemic, and at a high le

TL;DR: I'm Strongly In Favor of therapeutics, just not disproven fake-therapeutics. Firstly a heartfelt thanks for your reply, I appreciate it when people say helpful things like this. But to nitpick on your nitpick, I am just as aggr

(I strongly agree with what you've said re: "But this study... fluke... not correctly measured") At the risk of offering un-asked for advice, I have no problem settling that debate! I think we share similar enough opinions re

Thank you so much for this! Such a wonderful story about my favorite movie!

The equation is on the second page, and if you know enough to know what correlation is , you know enough to implement from the equation given. Takes N*Log(N) to run though, if implemented naively. (because you have to sort your data)

(Yay signal processing!) Skimming it now, this looks wild. Using the variance of the rank of the dataset (for a given point, how many are less than that point) seems... weird, and throwing out some information. The author seems legit t

YES, Agree. To be honest, after I posted the comment I was unsure if I ought to edit to add that I don't mean it as a diss or with any ill intent... to any human. Just an amusing "isn't this cute" parallel. And also I s

Interesting question. I have no idea if it's still relevant, though I imagine it is, and with the magical bytes being siloed in some file far, far away from VLC and libaacs. It always strikes me as amusing that here we are, in the 21s

I'm honestly kinda surprised. The policy seems willfully ignorant of the Streisand effect. I get the reasons behind it, I'm just surprised it wasn't laughed down at some internal Github planning meeting. "No, that&#x2

Or just, ya know, a $5 linode holds my git repos just fine. :) The problem is the centralization/SPOF itself, not whatever platform or SPOF used.

Finding information that is "censored" or restricted by going to a Chinese source ... gobsmacking levels of irony. :D

(am I the GP?) No, not all embedded systems run an OS. Linux is not an OS, it's a kernel. Ubuntu is an OS. Kubernetes is application software that runs on several operating systems, primarily ones based on the Linux kernel.

Simple. It only runs one what you think of as a "program". I've written for bare metal on several platforms. Operating systems exist for a specific use case: when you want to run potentially multiple programs on the same p

I understand "bare-metal" to mean without an operating system. More recently, the definition has confusingly expanded to sometimes include an operating system, but without a hypervisor. This is a tutorial on installing Ubuntu, th

But think of the epic problems they needed to solve to get the protocol implemented using websockets in javascript so it can run in the iframe on the mobile browsers! Such engineering prowess! </sarcastic>

Really stupid question: I thought I've used a 24bit DAC, on some high end sound equipment. Why is this special/noteworthy?
