I admit I don't use Twitter or Mastodon very much, but Mastodon's UX seems pretty decent these days. At least 50% of the time when I click on a Twitter link something breaks. Either the page doesn't load or a video won't

There's a lot of articles recently on how we're "rethinking" Alzheimer's, and what is utterly baffling to me is the way none of them seem to mention that it has recently come to light that much of the foundational r

From what I understand, there is somewhat of a threshold in terms of how much fructose can be digested in your gut vs requiring your liver to get involved. It depends on a lot of factors (body size obviously, your overall calorie intake, so

You're conflating accuracy with engine correlation. Having a perfectly accurate game means you didn't make any moves that caused a centipawn loss. Having 100% engine correlation means you're making the exact moves the engine

Love it. My only complaint so far after playing around is that the "last paragraph" it picks seems a little bit arbitrary. Often enough it seems to pick the one I just finished rather than the one I should be reading next. Maybe t

Hey that's awesome to hear! I saw the redesign but haven't really poked around much yet. If that's the direction examine is pivoting though I am very, very excited for it. Will definitely be checking it out.

Examine.com is the closest analogue to what this site is trying to do, and as far as I know, it works. It takes a while, but if people develop trust in a product or website they value that deeply, and are even willing to throw money at it.

After having the same WTF reaction I came across this mouse study: Probiotic Microbes Sustain Youthful Serum Testosterone Levels and Testicular Size in Aging Mice. Sounds like the L. reuteri supplement made a pretty dramatic difference in p

What you're describing is what tiling window managers do (or at least very close to what you're describing). Neither Spectacle or Rectangle are actually tiling window managers; they're just window snapping tools. I have never

He makes some great points and I can relate to most of them, but my god do I love my tiling window manager. There is nothing on earth that would convince me to go back to stacking. IMO, the key thing about tiling window managers is that if

Navidrome is far and away the best self hosted streaming music server. I set up half a dozen and wasn't happy until I tried that one. The developer is very friendly and responsive too. https://github.com/navidrome/

Try adding `-row-mt 1 -tiles 2x2`. That will essentially tile the video into parallel streams that can be encoded on different threads. You should get better CPU utilization that way. I don't think AV1 will ever get to the encoding spe

With ffmpeg 5 using libaom it's actually reasonable. Obviously it depends on quality and whatnot, but I'm able to get about .25X of realtime playback speed with AV1 encoding. The magic switch is setting -cpu-used to something high

Those numbers are wrong by an order of magnitude, because the original estimation was based on faulty math. The actual dose needed to bring serum levels up for most people would be far higher. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pm

Not that I've ever come across, but Blizzard RTSs would have to be the gold standard. Age of Empires being second. Looking at those franchises would cover the majority of player expectations, at least in terms of basic mechanics like a

This is awesome, but I do have a nitpick. Using left click to select as well as move feels really unnatural to somebody coming from other RTS games. I probably have over 5k hours in StarCraft 2 and WC3, and that's a lot of muscle mem

Ah thank you, that makes much more sense to me now. The other answers weren't quite was I was looking for. I really hope the CGM and "artificial pancreas" technology continues to progress. It really sounds like a very difficu

Awesome write up, but one thing I still don't understand; why is hypoglycemia such a big part of the problem? If insulin is your body's way of moving glucose out of your bloodstream and T1D means that lever is broken, why do you s

My understanding is that melatonin is a threshold kind of thing, so it makes sense to dial in a specific dose. For me I found that 1mg gave me as much "get to sleep" effect as 10mg, so I would just use 1. I wasn't able to fin

For me it really depends on what I'm reading, and I do agree that sometimes it can be too stimulating. I don't think there's a hard and fast rule here of reading == good, TV == bad or anything like that. For example I can wat

I've struggled with sleep for as long as I can remember. I have improved it considerably in the past year (still not perfect). Out of the dozens upon dozens of things I've tried, here's what I think made the most difference,
