I’m assuming you mean that purely on semantic grounds. Due to plasticity, regeneration or periodic cycles, in biology there is seldom irreversible change in the absolute sense; some kind of cut off point is implied. Another example is “irre

“More important” is completely meaningless without also indicating what the reference priorities are assumed to be. In many “important” contexts, this title is very wrong. Prolonged caloric deficits often trigger an (irreversible) drop in t

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the irony. It really devalues the whole thing. The next phase in online consumer culture will certainly be the commodification of the old web: reduced to a performative aesthetic, divorced from

Yes, because neutropenia is a limiting factor in how far you can go with certain chemotherapeutic agents, such CDK inhibitors.

Perhaps google’s long-term contribution to the internet was definitively proving the importance of self-hosted and free, open source software — by epitomising what can go horribly wrong with the alternative. Hopefully in a generation from n

Completely unrelated but I saw an interesting analogy recently: forks make it a lot easier to gain weight.

This sounds similar to the phd student in anthropology I had as a friend nearly two decades ago. It’s been the dominant view in social sciences for a long time and it comes out of critical theory [0], which stipulates that truth is a functi

I know right? Telegram is one of my favourite iPhone apps, hands down, purely on the basis of the interface. It’s also incredibly performant, which means a lot considering I use a 6S model from 2015. In comparison, the last discord update b

Exactly, I literally can’t remember accessing any content on Facebook in the past year; nor did I really think about it.

Just imagine how annoying the past year was for those of us who had figured this out quicker.

Yeah, i think it’s tragic that they’re pivoting to the AI fever dream pushed by VCs.

I think it’s wonderful that their official website doesn’t even work in iOS 14.3 Safari, which is only 3 years old (it crashes completely with “500 internal server error”). I encourage everyone who genuinely cares about the web to stop upda

The physiological adaptations to caloric restriction in general are extremely broad and not all are related to the tradeoff in thermogenesis. But to answer your question, you basically get cold much more easily, basically all the time. As f

Well fasting is hardly a consumerist conspiracy, as that would be a contradiction. It’s likely that the downsides are a necessary trade off for a longer lifespan. The body reduces its metabolism in order to conserve resources and survive lo

The issue here is the version of the webkit engine, which ships with iOS and that is 3 years old. Anyway a docs page is basic, it should be compatible regardless.

by xk_id 3y ago
Whatever it requires to hide the menu, that a 3 years old browser doesn’t have, can’t possibly be essential for just a documentation page.
