Cool project! Looking at starting a group of people to lobby my small city to invest in muni fiber. Would love to see what you have if it ends up on GitHub. Quick typo fix on the main page: neigbors is missing an “h” (neighbors).

This is possibly the best description of my development process I’ve ever seen. I’d add “staring into the distance” alongside the mumbles (yes, when pacing, that often means I run into corners of walls, couches, etc). I think of it as itera

Yep, pretty much this along with some guessing at the stuff that was obfuscated (mostly response structure and the meaning of some of the data).

Mostly recording and replaying the network request logs through Chrome and comparing diffs as I clicked around, looking at headers and URL params generated from clicking to get a high level picture for how it all fit together. They didn’t d

One of my favorite spa/hotels for a weekend retreat for my wife and I has absurd waitlists — takes a few months typically to reserve 2 nights. However, they have a 7 day cancellation policy that leads to a U shaped availability curve f

I’ve been developing in Crystal a lot lately, and it’s a very interesting middleground. You can still monkey patch, but having type safety and compilation gives you guarantees that you don’t get when you do the same thing in ruby. What you

Ironic that the current trials will take 5 years, given how many times T1s have been promised that a cure is “5 years away” (seriously, it’s a running joke) — but this does look promising. Looking toward to talking to my endo about his view

Same here. I’ve enjoyed many of his other books (including the sequel) as well, but Children of Time was an absolute masterpiece.

There are some interesting hypotheses around microtubules and their potential role in consciousness; this directly ties in with your comments around anesthesia - I've certainly had a similar subjective experience under anesthesia, when

I don't believe it was in bad faith; that said, it was very much an interpretation, and your use and perception of language differs from mine, so we may just have a different reading of the sentence "Why bring it up unless you do?

It’s not - it’s your responsibility (IMO) to be civil and constructive, which I’d argue your second sentence wasn’t. Your first sentence — while the subject isn’t hard to research for yourself — was fine as it added to the potential of the

There are numerous, due to the receptors it activates. Look into research on fenfen or if you’re just looking to take a quick but detailed survey of the info, there’s a lot here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DrugNerds/

LSD isn’t still fully understood there, but from what I gather Psilocybin is probably a greater concern (more agonism on HT2B than LSD). Neither show long term correlation with lower long term health outcomes (typically the reverse) but wit

It's the same as Novolog, not 70/30 though. Novolog 70/30 is a mix is a mix of two insulins - an intermediate acting & a faster acting insulin.

I think the "outside of mental illness" is a pretty important qualifier here. I've never hit the point personally where I'd prefer death to diabetes, but I've certainly been close, and were it not for a pretty fortu

Cheap insulin works. For long-term outcomes, I'd certainly argue that it doesn't work "fine." But it's definitely better than death.

You only covered the bolus requirements. You also need a basal insulin for Type-1 diabetes (unless you're on an insulin pump, which is an entirely different class of expense), so something like Tresiba ($505) ( https://www.go

For whatever it’s worth, anti mask movements were popular during the last global pandemic in 1918, so I don’t think it’s that people have changed. https://untappedcities.com/2020/07/15/the-anti-mask-league-o..

They aren’t toxic or poisonous, but psilocybin does have a nauseating effect on many people. The cell walls of the mushrooms can be hard for some to digest as well, which is why many people make a tea or tinctures. You’d have to consume an

I’m in the US, and all of the advice I’ve recovered from every doctor and nutritionist is to limit carbohydrates. You can “cover” as you put it, and you’re trained to be able to do that when the situation arises, but the baseline diet that

You’d be off base in questioning any of that, at least as the central premise that “X person didn’t have Y effects because they ate too much Z macro.” Keto, when strictly followed, provides a great reduction to bolus needs (in personal expe

Coronary heart disease. CVD (cardiovascular disease) may be more appropriate as it’s less specific but still covers the linkage between the two conditions. http://journal.diabetes.org/diabetesspectrum/99v12n2/pg81.

It’s not without tradeoffs. There’s a substantial overlap between T1 and CHD, and the impacts of keto on CHD in non-normal populations (hyper-responders, metabolic patients) are even more poorly understood than they are in the general popul

Same feelings as you on this one - not that it isn’t par for the course with most science journalism, but it’s especially frustrating for T1 news. Perpetually thankful that we’re only five years from a cure.

Curious if they have any clearer definition of what they mean by “recently diagnosed.” Based on the article, it looks like all patients were in their honeymoon period, which certainly makes for a substantial difference from what most would
