It's much more likely that those taking such drunks, are at a much higher disposition of developing such complications. I started taking such a drug again after developing stomach issues. I had a scare a couple of years ago, and it was

How is this news? I'd be surprised if they didn't. “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer

You may find this a fascinating read. It's regarding how SQL Server has it's own threading scheduler to bypass the Windows scheduler. When ran on a machine with HyperThreading enabled it will only use 50% of the CPU, I guess they&

It's a shame you can't get a cable to link computers via PCIe (supports cables over 3m[0]). Multiple x16 connections that would lead to some decent bandwidth while being low-latency, without the network overhead or shelling out fo

I only skimmed their website, but I didn't see user aliasing[edit: they do aliasing & wildcards], or shared accounts. In fact any real mailbox features? I am becoming concerned about the power Google has over my life (have been for

Whenever I see a charity ad that tugs on my heart strings, I check their directors salaries* and my conscience is pretty clear. I have no issue with capitalism, but for people who do want a high salary (many don't), then perhaps the ch

The same week I read about the Gett-Blackcab bus partnership (woohoo one route, that will make a difference..). £20 for a hour's drive in a Mercedes E class (with a driver) is hurting the protection racket? Other news, the government i

In theory it could happen.. but something like this is strengthened through password stretching. I think this is good practice anyway as it makes them much harder to brute force/ dictionary attack if the data compromised.

You have to wonder how they got through a billion of VC money and couldn't make their company a success? I'm sure more food delivery and taxi startups will fail in the next few years. Such aggressive markets, hoping that they can

The reason more females have it is because of blood loss from periods (Iron is needed to make up Red-blood cells). I had IDA for over a year. My doctor tried to fix/ mask it with iron supplements, turns out was a coeliac. Which explain

Thank you, but Biggie & Tupac brought the East/ West coast divide to attention 20 years ago. It does annoy that here in the UK, the only licensed use for medical Marijuana (Sativex) is to treat MS. This has to be a better option th

It seems insane having a Judge prescribe treatment options. Addicts who wish to give up are definitely a medical case and should be treated likewise. Tapering off Opiates does work. Let's not forget that it was prescription meds being

TDD is a nice idea, however TDD can add quite a bit of overhead. Upfront overhead, before writing any code. This isn't a problem if it is justified/ needed. Plus the tests can become more cumbersome when code changes, more baggage

I forgot the Q6600 was dual-die, probably the best bang for buck CPU I've ever purchased (first popular quad-core & huge overclocking potential). I think AMD reusing the same dies is quite elegant (everything* scales as you add mor

True, it's kind of a shame that more of the features from Bred Victor's demos haven't made it into mainstream IDE's, such as:- Inventing on Principle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUv66718DII (He has

I think the main benefit of a graphical language, as opposed to text-based is the rapid feedback loop. You see the response after every click. This is the same reason so many people can build complex spreadsheets, yet wouldn't know whe

This is one of the most overlooked topics in computing. I've developed an in-memory database, naturally with it's own programming language. I disagree that you have to have an application in mind to design your language (sorry GP)

Thanks! I guess I should have said that LINQ is a bit of a mine-field; it can generate some very arcane code/ expression trees from relatively simple predicates. I would have loved to have used it (would have saved me writing a query e

While the GC will run under load, the JIT is treated as a luxury and as far as I'm aware, it will only run when there's spare CPU (it makes sense to not interrupt the program while it's busy). If you follow the Build -> Te

So say a 4000m launchpad is feasible, that's 2% of the needed altitude. While gravity will be roughly the same (yeah it's higher altitute, but there's the mass from the mountain). There is much less atmosphere* (~50% less pre

A little off topic.. I've always wondered why NASA lunched rockets from Cape Canaveral (only 3 meters above sea level). Granted, it's a little tricky to transport rockets, but surely it would have made more sense to move the opera

Reflection is fine, just never use it inside a tight loop/ hot code path. I've written a database engine in C#/ .net and I quickly learnt what you can and can't use. Using the dynamic/ expando parts have insane memo

A few times, and it did help. I can see it working better than opiates for many patients. It seems the reason it isn't prescribed in the UK (I believe it's only available to some MS patients), is for political reasons. Maybe if th

If you look at it from a business perspective, it's much more efficient to smuggle stronger drugs. The problem is that Illegal drugs do not have the same quality control as regulated medicine, when one is 50 times stronger small mistak
