If thing A is important enough to declare a "code yellow" in order to ignore things B, C, and D to focus on A, then were B, C, and D really that important? Could you have focused your team on A from the start, making a "code

So there’s one factor that doesn’t get discussed much: adherence to a fairly draconian treatment regimen for “forever”. Our allergist screened us for whether they thought that as parents we had the resolve and diligence to figure out a way

My toddler is on oral immunotherapy for peanuts, and unless he outgrows it or chooses to stop treatment, or new research comes out, he is going to be doing oral immunotherapy for life. Fortunately, peanuts aren’t expensive. The expensive pa

In short, we don’t know. Egg albumin is also interesting because the vast majority of kids outgrow it. My toddler has a peanut allergy but has already outgrown his egg albumin allergy.

Age is a known factor for oral immunotherapy’s risk and effectiveness, and the commonly cited fuzzy threshold is starting before 2 years of age. The data isn’t that strong, but “start very young” basically has practitioners’ consensus. You

People mention this quite often to me because my toddler is on oral immunotherapy for peanuts, and there’s a small but important distinction here. It’s extra important when relatives start to think it’s okay to be casually leaving peanut pr

We did this for our son (peanuts and cashews) and it was also life changing. He’s on a daily maintenance dose for life, but we no longer fear the possibility of either allergen being near him in public places or cross contamination in food.

This goes against fairly general advice that I’ve received from early intervention specialists, including for my own child (not diagnosed as neurodivergent, just speech delayed). In our case the kid picked up signs we were teaching him (not

These days I’d probably describe “big” as “doesn’t make sense to use SQL anymore”. Qualitatively, I think it becomes “big” when you have to leave the space of generic “it just works” technologies and you have to start doing bespoke optimiza

Yes, you vest stock options, and given that risk for startups is very much front-loaded, vesting schedules that are back-loaded are a big red flag for incentive misalignment. And that's ignoring all of the problems with stock options a

It will run into the problem that the B2B world is small for any given operator, making transactions a repeated reputational game. Named reviewers will not criticize because it only hurts them for future partnerships, and anonymous reviews

Having worked with both, I think it's really much more about having someone (a team) dedicated to dev experience, maintaining good onboarding tooling, CI/CD, build infrastructure, security configurations, SOP's around package

The key is that you pay for the bandwidth, sampling, cardinality, and schema considerations somewhere in the system. Depending on the problem, you may be able to get away with dealing with those issues later vs. earlier, but at some point

Oral immunotherapy is currently the baseline treatment for things like peanut allergies, and it works, but it requires daily dosing. Also, for adults that start doing it, it often leads to feeling like you have perpetual digestive discomfor

I used to think this, but I’ve also worked on authentication/authorization in contexts where you’re not constrained to HTTP requests, and it doesn’t really get any less complex once federated identities, finer grained access control fe

For complex cases, use SSO providers and service-to-service connectors that hide the underlying protocol from you. If you must manage auth in a more custom way, use things like Azure Active Directory or other competitors. They probably use

Factorio's "circuits" mechanic could implement neural networks pretty directly since the components can do 32-bit logic and arithmetic (integer only). It'd be pretty straightforward to implement a multi-layered neural ne

The intuitive explanation is that the effect of a single sample on the average diminishes as you take more samples. So, hand-waving a bit, let's assume it's true that over a large number of trials you would expect the average to c
