I have some odd GI issues so there's a clear impact there. The alternative treatment is some very nasty medication. Effective probiotics restore normality without the side effects the medications have. I'll spare you the details ;

I brew my own kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and occasionally kombucha. Of those kefir is the most demonstrably effective, all of them are cheap. The only effective probiotics I've found are very expensive, costing around $120/mo.

I've done something like this. It worked well with the caveat that even when working as FTEs most Eastern European devs still preferred to work like contractors, e.g. "tell me exactly what to build and I'll build it". It

Pretty much a non-starter. If you're selling a desktop app and your competitor is a browser-based SaaS you will lose every time. It's one of the rare things both end-users and IT will agree on.

I recently switched to an iPhone 12 for this reason. It's been almost a year and I still hate iOS. It's significantly dumber than Android and has some truly baffling UX choices. However, the phone is undeniably better than any And

Kind of. A lot of video game studios are looking to shoehorn NFTs into their games.

Whenever there's a pair of synonyms where one is fancier than the other it's almost always because one is French in origin (i.e. used by the Norman upper class) and the other German (i.e. used by the Anglo-Saxon peasantry). Think

It was 2,000 people. What are you referring to? My point is that the building was literally burned down and our country bounced back to the point where most people probably don't even know it happened. There's nothing sacred about

I earnestly cannot understand what a tiny minority of people trespassing could have done to destroy anything meaningful. Our country has survived much worse. Don't forget that same building was once burned down by a hostile invading fo

It always shocks me that the first proposed solution is to import young people from somewhere else rather than encourage existing citizens to have kids. Actually... I take that back. It's not shocking at all. Immigrants are free and su

I'm a very big fan of a game called Enderal [1] which is essentially a mod built upon Skyrim's engine. It's amazingly high quality considering it's a passion project by a small team of devs. They created an entirely new

I think the first point is so important. A good example is news sites. They aren't optimized for delivering news articles, if they were they'd look like FTP servers. News sites are instead built to track you, serve ads, and sell s

That's the dirty secret, isn't it? Many American industries are addicted to the cheap labor illegal immigration supplies. The media circus about the border wall was a distraction.

Ah, I glossed over that. But that just makes me more confused, not less. On a long lived project most changes to node_modules will require code changes... just not sure what the point is.
