I think you have very different idea of what "change in laws of physics" means.

I am using "Switching Power Supply Design" from Pressman, Billings and Morey and "Switmode Power Supply Handbook" from Billings and Morey. Both are excellent resources and look at design from a bit different point of vie

Yeah. I use a lot of linear regulators. And they have even more advantages. For example, they are simple. They do exactly what you think they do. They don't leak. They don't create noise. They convert voltage right away and you do

What you say doesn't make much sense. AFAIK there exists no popular belief that physics was different in early universe. The physics was the same, the only thing that was different was physical conditions . Meaning everything was dens

Contrary to some opinions here, I think this is very good advice. I am always giving as much notice as I can. And also try to finish my projects and accommodate my employer/client as much as I can at the end of the project. Regardless

No. That's far beyond our capabilities. Somebody calculated that LHC would have to be over 1000 light years in diameter to do this (and then still we would have to wait for thousands of years for particles to get accelerated).

I am not a huge fan of AI but I cannot deny this is probably biggest game changer since smartphones came out. I find it a bit strange (although entirely predictable) that some people would try to forget about whole matter and hide from it a

It is interesting but my data is useless. I lost over 70 pounds since July last year but I don't have any good record of blood sugar measurements. I did measurements whenever I liked either to confirm I am in ketosis or just to check m

My blood sugar goes below 60 but I am not hypoglycemic and no, the alerts are not useful. And yes, the measurements are correct -- I have more than one way to measure blood sugar level. Hypoglycemic means your body is dependant on sugar, ca

Can confirm. Just at this moment I have a Dexcom G7 attached to my arm and I don't even have diabetes. Just using it to learn a little bit about my blood glucose patterns. But these devices are not really built for non-diabetics. There

I can make good tasting beef broth but I usually don't even bother. I make a huge, 15L pot of broth. I use various pieces of meat, especially ones that have a lot of collagen. If I think I have too little cartilage I will add achilles

You are right. Just because food is fatty doesn't mean it is healthy. I did not want to make the comment too long but there is the concern for the quality of fats which is pretty complicated problem. There are some simple rules -- for

And this is meant to be proof of what exactly? Somehow doing one thing right is supposed to prevent obesity in every single case? That all obesity must necessarily be because of people eating multiple meals?

by twawaaay 3y ago
Next level is removing most or all carbs from your diet and restricting your eating window to a short time every day, no more than 4 hours. Which is what I do besides longer fasts. I now don't even need to eat every day -- I had situat

Causal link requires an investigation to understand what is the nature of the link. Is it possible that people who are likely to be more obese are also likely to eat garbage food delivered in low quality plastic packaging? And more healthy

It is called fasting. It has been practiced for entirety of human history in all societies except for last couple of decades. Fasting is an opportunity for the body to burn stored fats. Insulin is a hormone that tells every cell in the body

None? There is nothing actionable here. We already know PFAS are dangerous for other reasons and the war against them is warming up. And policy is not/should not be made based on just one study. Sadly, there are too many contradicting

Again. Missing big fat disclaimer. "Correlation does not imply causation". It is wrong to jump from "Weight loss relapse associated with exposure to perfluoroalkylate substances" to "Obesogenic PFASs may cause weigh

Do you assume engineers who build these things and point cameras at other satellites are unable to plan to make in-focus images?

Dunno... most people I meet seem to be put off by my software development ideas. I stick to them because they seem to work very well even if it initially creates a lot of friction between me, the team and the management. Where to start... I

I don't. There simply isn't any tooling or literature to speak of. I have some experience using control engineering in my electronics projects and that's how I came up with the idea to use it for backend systems. I have resea

Yep. For example, I use control theory to keep my services at just single percents below maximum throughput achievable on the server. Then I use other tricks (like batching processing) to make the application MORE efficient as the traffic
