   I don’t think any of the approaches in this article are appropriate for the stated problem. Specifically, parsing data from an INI/JSON/text file (or TLV-like encoding, predefined format/protocol, etc.), the parser can prod

   I posted the following comment on a very similar Reuters article about asymptomatic rates on an aircraft carrier 8 days ago (on a Friday): - - IMHO, this article is intentionally misleading. The incubation period is currently estimated to b

   Ha! If only we could invent something to make pregnancy asymptomatic... :)

   IMHO, this article is intentionally misleading. The incubation period is currently estimated to be 2-14 days (mean is 5.6 days per CDC, similar per WHO). The article doesn’t mention any dates or time frames, but does mention: ”Roughly 60 pe

   The NEJM letter [1] this article is summarizing is only talking about their condition while in the hospital (that is, of the 215 tested, the 33 who tested positive didn’t show symptoms before being discharged (median length of stay is 2 day

   It may help to note that THC and CBD are two active components which can treat different symptoms. I find CBD extraordinarily effective at treating my essential tremor. CBD and THC combined provide mild help for my pain, but THC makes me an

   The title of this link is frustrating and misleading. The article clarifies a bit, but I take issue with Ars linking to the specific study with text stating the methodology is the gold standard. That doesn’t mean the conclusion will hold up

   Thanks -- I genuinely appreciate your sentiment. As Sontag said: "Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or l

   There are non-opioid choices. I've been through every prescription oral medication. Some are worse than opioids. Gabapentin and its class make me incredibly nauseous before relieving pain. Most just don't touch it (some even star

    Good question. I can only share my personal experience; I've seen 5, but only 2 seemed to understand my pain and gave me exercises tailored to my needs (using elastic bands, aqua exercises, stretching, etc.). The standard for back pain

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried various diets, including Keto, LCHF, etc. I try to stick with LCHF just to slow down my weight gain, but it doesn't impact my pain or neurological symptoms. For anybody else reading this I&#x2

    I could not agree more. I had a medical marijuana note in CA, and it turned my stabbing pain into more of a pins-and-needles feeling (sorry, pain is difficult to describe in words). It also drastically reduced the tremor in my right hand. B

    I'm one of these missing men. I'm currently 35, and have been working as a software engineer since I was 19. Two years ago, I started experiencing excruciating, unrelenting low back pain that eventually required me to leave my job

    Yeah... except it's not. It's about a single bug that's already been fixed upstream. Not a "design decision". Hopefully people will stop trolling like this. And hopefully I'll stop reading and relying to them -

    Because an operation may be a query for a single document by an indexed field, or it could be an FTS across billions of records, each with thousands of terms. In my experience, MongoDB and MySQL performance are usually on par. It's imp

    We're in agreement. I'm just offering another way to prevent the SIGTERMs, regardless of the cause of the slowdown.

    I partially agree here, but want to throw in the configuration aspect. In order for any database to be optimized of all workloads, it either has to adapt with minimal impact (something I haven't seen successfully implemented yet, but m

    Not quite; the author states the MongoS nodes were SIGGERM'd. This is unrelated to WiredTiger (which runs in MongoD), and more likely caused by the Linux OOM killer or another resource limit being exceeded (like the number of threads o

    Thanks for the info! I still don't see how an FPGA (with or without anti-fuse) is any better than fabricating a processor. The paper seems to state that FPGAs are a better option than x86, ARM implementations, etc. I'm starting to

    My point is not that it's difficult to design a peripheral device that loads its firmware over SPI (or whatever bus). My point is that firmware for all supported devices must be maintained on the proposed external device. What happens

    I'm probably missing something, but I don't see how this is feasible. Moving all firmware to a device that lives on an external bus means that you must either create a 'trustworthy' distribution channel for all supported
