This. First of all, I don’t think there is a “critical” period for learning programming like there is for languages, or motor skills (try learning to skateboard as an adult). My school curriculum, a foreign language and, yes, skateboarding have all been a lot more challenging than programming. I’d say that learning network administration is probably a lot harder too b/c stuff like that isn’t as logical as a programming language.

My dad had MS, they knew that MS was caused by demyelination years ago. Is this study important because they found the gene (or a gene?) that corresponds to that?

MS is not inherited, but it looks like they’ve already identified genes as well that increase risk, and risk increases if a family member has it.

This isn’t 2010. There are now female and middle aged redditors as well

I’ve been asking myself since Trump’s Twitter ban - is it a violation of free speech if the banner is a private corp? To me the obvious answer is no, but I could see how a private Corp could be pressured by the state.

I don’t have the details but I’m pretty sure passage of time is due to a tendency for entropy to increase, and that if I go back in time a second by, say, walking backwards, it is no more a violation of the cons of energy as if I walk forward.

I recently had blood work done bc I thought I might be low T and mine was actually over the high band. I am a pretty serious hobby jogger. I run every day and I try and follow something close to what a serious HS runner would do. Is that why, or enough to explain it? Idk, but I do know if I didn’t exercise to compensate for screen-life, everything would be fucked

Well we were all thinking it

I have a super snotty nose and live in a cold place so I don’t wear it outside. I walk away or cover mouth when someone gets close. But I’ve read articles that give numbers ie. x% chance of getting it if you are within y feet for z minutes in an enclosed room, so I think me walking outside without a mask is not an issue, despite the dirty looks from lots of people.
