I wish the Vitamin D science was more nailed down. I am currently taking 7000 UI daily, because medic told me to do so, thing is... even the same medic, sometimes told me to take another dose, because he forgot I was already taking it, when

I think he refers to the fact that those categories have their inflation higher than CPI. CPI weights changed in 1980, and seemly when using old weights the CPI is 10% instead. I've read (I didn't checked with all details, I don&#

FED changed the weightings in 1980, notably if I remember correctly they greatly reduced the importance of housing prices (not what they call "housing" category, but the price of the shelter itself) There was some article coming o

I still use CRT, and I own a Radeon R9 380X. I am worried with the fact that this card is the final one with a RAMDAC, any newer one doesn't have, but any monitor better than mine is ludicrously expensive. I dunno what to do now.

When I looked at that chair my reaction was... Hey, I saw this on HN some days ago! Yep, another guy made a "lay down desk", and explained his reasons that the only way to make it work right was with a scorpion-like design. The sc

I saw some old mainframes in a junkyard... considered buying them only to be told that someone that knew they were going to be sent there, purchased them before they even arrived... I think it would be hell cool to have a mainframe at home

Can someone explain to me what exactly IBM is splitting here? What the spun-off company does that main IBM won't do? Seemly IBM will focus on "hybrid cloud" that is mixing cloud services with mainframes... And the spun-off co

I am from Brazil, from what I heard unions in Brazil, US and Europe all work wildly differently from each other. In US in particular unions seemly often have power not only to defend workers but also to define workplace rules and even to ve

I am currently trying to fix a program that was made by a person that didn't knew those details of MySQL... Most weirdly, the fact that the default collation is SWEDISH. It is a complete freak show, the users kinda got used to it, butc

Very good that article. A point not mentioned there but that is a major reason for me to use CRT: Contrast. The contrast in most flat screens I tried is just terrible, a classic example I use is trying to play Superhot and then watch Game o

I have a 4690K and my RAM is a 32GB EVGA DDR3 ram that I suspect was made by hynix or the other manufacturer of fast rams, that runs at speed up to par with the slowest DDR4 but with DDR3 latency, it is very awesome. I wonder if DDR5 will b

Problem is, how? When I went to university I ended in deep debt. Took me years, to pay off that debt, it felt like literal slavery, since I would just take whatever job that could pay the debt that was offered (I had to decline many jobs be

Symbian in Brazil was rapidily climbing in popularity when MS killed it. It had 60% of phone market share and it was RISING despite the launch of iPhone and Android. The reason is that: 1. It worked great. 2. Brazil had a vibrant dev

Kinda. Dark Station shutdown is still a problem in some senses. They were indeed, doing an experiment, not just to pass a certification, but they were testing a theory, that in fact makes perfect sense, just the execution of the test was ex

Aside from other stuff others already mentioned, I would also want to add: Windows Vista and onwards, MS, while claiming it was for technical and stability reasons, nixed a lot of features that were annoying to movie studios, basically they

Although I understand the worry, I am getting more and more annoying with people painting all populist leaders as anti-democratic, even when they are trying to make institutions more democratic. I am from Brazil, and media (both local and i

That was exactly his point. In USA (I dunno where you are from), sometimes the union is company-specific, as in: the union forms inside the company and has only that company workers and has some say on the company management. In Holywood th

Well... exactly. Thing is, since I am a game-dev: it would be cool to have a cheap console or portable console that runs at quite high speeds. For example what would be possible if I had a Z80 that ran at 2ghz?

I am from Brazil and because of that I never get online-only singleplayer games. For example I never played Diablo 3, not even in a friend house or a demo (if there is one, I never checked). Ditto for Sim City 5, despite me being a huge fan

The problem is exactly those exclusivity contracts and how they were made. Epic literally bribed devs to do deals that went back on promises, people are not just upset about exclusivity, they are upset about exclusivity of stuff they PAID F

Alright, so it is ONE mode, of ONE game that requires this... that was a (poor in my opinion) decision of the gamedev, nothing to do with GoG Galaxy itself. It is similar to Diablo 3, SimCity 5 and Anno 2070 that have single-player features

What game requires GoG Galaxy? EDIT: even googled it, found out Darkest Dungeon by default install a version that does need GoG Galaxy, but the DRM-free version is available on GoG site too, just need to choose that downloader instead. But
