After hearing Andrew Huberman talk about the relationship between vision and our dopamine system, I would not be surprised if we start finding more correlations of mental health with vision. But there's also the recent findings inverse

I've used Rails AR and Django/SQL Alchemy orms, and the more I use it, the more I wish for a fusion of both. Django ORM is amazing for Schema management and migrations, but I dislike their query interfaces (using "filter&quot

I'm a bit baffled by the focus on SEO on the latest frontend libraries. Sure it makes sense if you're building a store or marketplace that needs to be publicly indexed, but for most web applications SEO is only important for landi

It's frustrating that the post does not provide any solution for some of the problems like declinations and gender. I internationalised a couple of applications, and it's incredible how i18n frameworks are still so limited in ling

I mean, there are incidents in refineries and plants. It's just hard to know how common they are because many go unreported or just don't reach wide public knowledge. Eg. Y12 criticality incident - https://youtu.be&#x2F

I've felt this, and I agree. It really pays of to do some work on technical discovery, make all the mistakes, see where all the design issues will be, validate as much as possible, and then start again. And the best way to really scope

Do you know why doesn't the Oxalic acid bind with the calcium of the Rhubarb, and turns into a problem if consumed? Is there enough calcium to bind with the Oxalic acid? Is the calcium in Rhubarb bioavailable? Genuine questions here, b

I'm living in Finland, and that is where I got that knowledge from. So yes, unfortunately my source is also empirical knowledge. But knowing how certain African cultures learned to neutralize Cassava, and that knowledge passed through

I'm skeptical about calling it a disability, because a lot of these mechanisms and dark patterns are made to prey on everyone's nature. Some people may more susceptible to those stimuli, but I don't see it a disability, but a

That is why so many rhubarb dishes (rhubarb pies, and desserts) are so often served with ice cream and vanilla sauce based on milk products. The calcium in those neutralize any potential issues of the oxalic acid.

I got a bit this feeling when I tried to run the app locally offline during a flight and couldn't, because the client could not call home. Turns out the client needs an --offline flag to so so, and I got a bit creeped out to have such

If the wealthy would pay taxes proportionally to their wealth, and not evade taxes like many do, this would be an easy answer for me.

The numbers are not bad, and in many cases they might even be totally natural (eg. e330 citric acid, the acid present on citrus fruits). I worry more about what's not in the labels (like pesticides used, antibiotics in meats, packaging

I think it's thrice: Acquiring price, usage price, and disposal price. I've recently discovered how large the price of getting rid of something can be. Usually these costs are hidden because you just throw something into the trash

The author both says that we will find a solution to excess energy (eg. Hydrogen generation), and at the same time says we don't have space for baseload. It feels a bit of cognitive dissonance. I still feel that these articles massivel

Comparing the suicide rate of those groups with middle aged white men (adjusted for the population size) is a bit silly. Some sources point to 40% of trans people having attempted suicide, and I don't think 40% of middle aged men have

I'm going to assume you are building mostly in English, or in languages that maps simply to English (eg. With the same number of plurals). If you have 3 or more plural cases, plus gender (including neutral) you already have a multitude

The most important caveat that the author mentions: this advice may not apply to Django Rest Framework. Class based views for DRF are awesome because they represent a resource. It has been a great experience writing REST APIs with class bas

I share the sentiment, that many calls to pause AI development come from fear of market disruption and fear of competition, not from genuine concerns over safety. Especially coming from the people who created attention machines that have ch

This lacks context of organization size. When you're building a product from the ground up, user stories are super useful to organize and priorize flows and features. They are a super lightweight tool to communicate scope and requireme

As someone who today has to maintain a database with a lot of denormalised data, do this only if your database is pretty much write once (the author's use case). For anything else you might feel that it's saving you time and perfo

See, they are debatable after all - we are debating them. There is data, there are some correlations that are statistically significant, and some raise even more questions — like why performance lowers at 1200ppm, but goes back up at higher

Yes they are debatable. There are cognitive performance tests that show statistically significant decline in many tasks above 1500ppm, especially on planning tasks. That's independently of the feeling of "stuffiness". If thes

In the same paragraph the author acknowledges the dangers or relying on a foreign entity for energy supply, and ends up proposing the exact same thing. I'm all in for renewable when it makes sense, but I think it's time we stop pr
