I’m about to hit 40, and I’ve had this exact same experience. Even a single beer, shot of whiskey or glass of wine will leave me feeling depressed for at least a day afterwards. For me it seems to correlate with having had COVID back in 202

Did you perhaps have H. Pylori and your antibiotics eliminated it? I was also diagnosed with EoE recently - my understanding is that it also causes symptoms that feel like reflux, but aren’t. Very occasionally I might actually have a bit of

Sounds to me a lot like Nietzsche’s prediction of the impact of the “death of God”. Solzhenitsyn primarily focuses in this speech, it seems to me, on there being a growing lack of subordination to a higher spiritual purpose in the West, sim

Were you supplementing with electrolytes while fasting? Don’t have any studies at hand right now, but fasting apparently causes you to quickly lose fluid and electrolytes. I recently started doing 5:2 fasting and noticed on the day after fa

Been using Alacritty daily for over a year now on Ubuntu for paid and unpaid (hobby) work and it’s exactly what I need: something that doesn’t get in my way, and it renders nicely. Performance on a ThinkPad with Nvidia graphics card is grea

I wonder whether any of that cash has actually made its way to the CBC. Promises of future revenue are often hard to turn into salaries today.

Has anyone quantified the financial impact on Canadian news outlets of Google and Meta’s blocking of news content due to Bill C-18? https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/google-canada-online-news-1...

We find that, while this deters birds, it seems to attract bees. They fly and land on many individual dots before eventually flying away. Has anyone else experienced this?

As someone who has been working on open source software for 5 years now, GitHub issues are my primary source of truth for what users want and how to go about prioritizing features. If people can’t be bothered to log an issue or thumbs-up&#x

Very cool! It blows my mind though how the moment that someone offers free stuff, the first comments are people asking for more free stuff. If I wasn't paid to work full time on open source software, I'd think very carefully about

My understanding of Jung’s hypothesis about this was that every facet of the dream (the scene, the characters, etc.) is you - your psyche. In other words, your subconscious is effectively using those images as puppets to act out a play of s

Odd that there’s no mention at all in the article of Carl Jung’s perspective on dreams - being one of Freud’s more prominent students and having spent an inordinate amount of his life analyzing his own and others’ dreams. EDIT: The reason I

Agreed. My understanding from someone I consider to be a very good clinical psychologist is that the only time you may need some psychotherapeutic intervention is when you are genuinely stuck with a problem you can’t figure out yourself _an

Doesn't seem like this dynamic's changed much since 2009 when the article was originally published. Taking the maker's schedule into consideration in small companies seems relatively easy - especially when the CEO's codi

Where’s a good place to find job listings, and where, geographically, is all the interesting biotech work currently happening? I’ve tried the standard places where I’d search for non-biotech jobs (and there are craploads of those types of j

Did you perhaps read the primary text of this submission? It seems like everyone commenting here is totally missing the point of why I submitted this question in the first place and is so fixated on the content of the links I originally sub

But also, if there was at least a reason tagged along with the flagging, that could be helpful to submitters, don’t you think? Making people guess as to the reason for flagging seems like poor UX to me, and increases the overall hostility o

I get none of those links on the first page. It took several pages of search results before I started seeing any of the links you’ve shared here.

Maybe just move on with your life and don’t engage with the content if you’re not interested?

I get literally nothing from the news search in DuckDuckGo when I search for “clintel” It still seems you assume I have a particular agenda here beyond wanting to have a conversation on the topic.

by mactavish88 4y ago
Who said you had to do the work? If this was a topic that was somehow discussed previously, should there not be some kind of mechanism to indicate this in the flagging process? (Ideally automated)

Don’t you think it’s at least be insightful for whoever’s submitting content to understand why it was flagged? If it’s content a submitter’s come across for the first time, and they don’t see it discussed here on HN, so they post it, and it
