Can confirm. This was daily routine in children's hospitals and some kindergartens. Aimed to prevent rickets. As were contrast foot baths.

I believe the Long Peace and technological progress put us at the dawn of the Golden Age, and we're living it right now, setbacks like COVID notwithstanding. Steven Pinker puts forward a powerful argument to that effect in "Enligh

I wish I could quote some paper or otherwise confirm this for you, but when I was at Google, Google itself has disproven this by hiring a cohort irrespective of their interview outcome (you can imagine what this did to googlers' impos

"Doctor, if I do this, it hurts." "Don't do it, then!" I mean, seriously, it's not like COVID19 doesn't have "side effects".

I've seen people argue _against vitamin D supplementation_. WTF? I mean, sure, it's not "proven" to work, and there haven't been any "gold standard" studies. But why not just have everyone take 5000IU a da

I think you're onto something here. AMD is likely seeing the end of the road for their CPU business within the next decade, since it will run up against physics and truly insane cost structures that will come after 5nm. At the same tim

I don't see how it's a "myth" that "whiteboard interviews suck". You never write code on a whiteboard in the course of your day job. The obsession with whiteboard interviews is absolutely idiotic IMO, as is the

The FBI agent was "plotting". Others were just along for the ride it sounds like. This will fall apart and embarrass the FBI.

Come on, Texas. Roll out the gibs. I was going to move anyway, the least you can do is cover my moving expenses. It's either that or FL, and on paper I like TX more.

Nothing beats 32 cores with a 32 inch 4K IPS monitor, and a proper mechanical keyboard. Also, wired internet, not subject to radio interference. The very pinnacle of computing experience.

I tried Wayland last year. It was nowhere near ready for prime time. Perceptibly slower, and I had video tearing when watching video in the browser. This is with bog standard Intel iGPU in a laptop a couple years old. In its present state i

This point was driven home for me when I was at Google. Googlers being flush with money, we had a local solar installer stop by a few times. I attended one of the presentations. This was in WA, by the way, which turns into Mordor for 6 mont

We've seen this show before though. It'll start with "Biden has 97% chance of winning" and end with Rachel Maddow and Chunk Yogurt crying on live TV. In fact, they could probably re-use this video to save money, and nobo

You can't really make that calculation with truly open ended, fundamental research. Both the potential benefits, and the complexity/cost of obtaining these benefits (or finding out they can't be obtained) can be enormous. At

Would be interesting to see a more detailed breakdown, as in STEM vs "underwater basketweaving" faculty. Could be that schools are trying to shed some dead weight and using COVID as an excuse to do so.

Don't be dense. What I described is the _official_ and _correct_ way to make milkshakes that you will find in any decent cookbook. You've responded with false equivalence.

I mean, the OP is literally right - ice cream + milk in a blender results in a better milkshake. Try it sometime. That's how milkshakes are made at a lot of the other restaurants.
