So you're just googling post hoc and haven't actually looked into it. How scientific. This study [1] is what got me interested, they claim gray matter loss compares to control group even in asymptomatic cases but they excluded vac

You're just being presumptive, overreaching in conclusions and overconfident in your narrative. I've seen two studies linked recently about long COVID. Neither included vaccination as a test variable. Since these two studies were

On one hand I'm being presented with avoiding long COVID sideffects as a reason to get vaccinated - on the other I get no proof that vaccination doesn't do similar harm and that it's actually protective of those effects. I do

I think this code is bad because it uses if/else (it should be if not abort) and it only tests/handles one error case and the log is not very valuable, would be much better to wrap the block in try catch and capture all exceptions

TypScript is sort of this. It's the best of both worlds, if it wasn't built on top of JS legacy garbage type system and core types it would be ideal. But a powerful structural type system built on a flexible object model is real

I've coded in Clojure enough to know that there are cases where it completely sucks (mostly when you have to do imperative low level code). I used to have a link to a standard library implementation of channels that was downright hideo

Money isn't everything, there's a status component related to those professions (especially if you are coming from poorer background) and a lot of people like the idea of being a doctor or a lawyer. TBH you have to be a certain ki

I mean if they can't get Apple to include them in this (like you said you can use BT magic keyboard so clearly there's a way built-in) they have no chance at getting touchid

To people saying this is caused by use - this is irrelevant - people are upset because they use other comparable cables this way and don't have these problems nearly as often. I've noticed Apple usually has thinner cables - maybe

Logitech can't even connect to the laptop via BT before you are logged in, I doubt it will get this integration.

My problem with laser combos (printer + scanner) is that they are >50% larger than an inkjet with same features. Inkjet is just the right height where you can use it on a shelf/desk and it won't be unbearable + you can stack so

I don't disagree, but I can see why they want high growth. But if you choose that path you need to actively manage the pathological cases, especially the ones you create.

I feel like investing in market pathologies has become too common and modern democratic governments are far too slow at doing there roles and curbing such behaviour. Bitcoin is the obvious example of something that should have been banned y

I've tried watching technical tutorial videos but I often found people making them aren't really experts in the domain, so I end up watching impressions of a mediocre developer trying to wade through some topic. There are good vid

People on this forum say EU - but they mean "rich parts of EU". Reality is EU has way more inequality between member states than the US, ironic given the propaganda.

Web "means" it's portable and sandboxed, so theoretically you can run untrusted from the web and it only has access to what you expose. This stacks with DOM sandboxed APIs so you get same level of isolation in the browser as

I disagree. I would not recommend flutter to anybody precisely because of how bad Dart is. It's such a productivity/maintenance drag that the framework is not worth it.

It's the worst of all worlds TBH. It has terrible reflection and metaprogramming capabilities which leads to ridiculous solutions like code generators at every step. Type system is super weak (eg. it just gives up on type checking tern

If you are building form apps and stuff where delivering something working is the main objective (most enterprise apps) web UI is by far the best choice - ecosystem is huge, plenty of developers and designers to hire, tools let you export s
