I'm seeing this too. I've worked with devs that would previously push PRs that wouldn't work or run correctly. Those PRs wouldn't get merged in. Now they're putting up PRs which seem to work at first glance, but have hidden problems. For example, one guy introduced a huge PR for a visualization and it seemed to work fine, though another dev mentioned to me that we already use recharts and it does 90% of what this guy's PR does (his code does all the drawing logic itself). Maybe AI will get good enough to clean up these kinds of messes, but in the near term I imagine there will be a lot of code bases that will be filling up with dragons.

There's something called a "lean mass hyper responder", it's a type of person with high LDL but they're still healthy. You may fall into that category. However, high apob is more correlated to heart disease than high LDL. A lot of the online doctors who say high LDL isn't bad are saying that because some people have large LDL particles, and it's apparently the number of particles that's the problem, not the amount of LDL cholesterol.

I've dug into this topic a lot sense there's a lot of heart disease in my family. I've found that eating a bowl of oatmeal once a day reduces my LDL under 130 (I've been taking quarterly cholesterol blood tests to keep an eye on things). It's probably the fiber content that's doing the work, but I haven't tried other high fiber foods yet. However, I'm not a doctor so make of this what you will.

I've heard people say you don't need to rinse, but from experience this just doesn't seem to be true, or at least it's based on the dishwasher you have. I had a dishwasher 15 years ago where I tested the idea of not rinsing vs rising, and if I didn't rinse, I would sometimes have dishes that weren't completely clean (ie, hot chocolate residue in a mug, cheese from mac n cheese on silverware, etc).

For a few days I was getting the prompts and finally the 3 video warning. I went without youtube for a few days, when I tried yesterday my AdBlocker was working fine on it. I watched several videos and got no warnings. It's unclear to me if they gave up, or if they're testing this in waves to see what happens.

I've had tinnitus for around 15 years now. I've followed the research pretty closely. One thing to be especially weary about is the placebo effect. For some reason it's especially bad when it comes to tinnitus. I think that's how so many snake oil products can thrive in this area.

Back when they were doing the OTO-313 study a year or so ago, I read several reports from people who were in the study the drug had made their tinnitus go away (one on the TinniusTalk forums, and a few in a tinnitus Facebook group). However, when the results came back, the drug did not beat placebo. A similar thing happened with the FX-322 drug (that one was for hearing restoration but people were hopeful it could address tinnitus too).

I second this resource. Lots of good threads and discussion here. The forums are full of threads where people talk about things they've tried.

As an intern 20 years ago I wrote a lot of VBScript code to automate the generation of a bunch of Excel reports. I ran into my old boss 10-12 years ago and he said the scripts were still humming along. I've sometimes wondered how long those scripts would last, I guess they're end of life is coming up (if they haven't been rewritten by a new intern already).

I don't understand why some people feel the need to be so snarky in their summary messages:

> I'll bet this clown got paid to write this article and they did a poor job of it, too.

It's really turned me off from contributing. Years ago I got into a spat where someone didn't like something I added to an article and said my sources weren't valid since they were blog posts. I went and found a mainstream magazine article on the topic and they still balked - but eventually relented since they really didn't have a leg to stand on. They silently removed the addition a few months later. However, at that point I was over it and didn't care. The fact eventually made it back into the article a few years later when someone else added it in.

I wonder if the submitted link should be changed to your link. I can access your link fine but I get an error when I try to access the submitted link.

The first book I ever bought in a computer store was Tricks of the Doom Programming Gurus. Back in the mid-90's I saw it randomly while walking by the games section and thought it almost too good to be true. I ended up spending countless hours making my own levels. I was never any good though, and I definitely preferred playing what other people came up with. Every couple of years I'll go back and revisit some of those levels and see if there's anything new. It's definitely awesome that people have kept this scene alive.

It sounds like you did the right thing, you were concerned and kept an eye on things. Calling the police would have been overkill and maybe wrecked this kids' family life (like what happened in the article). Other than that, I see no problem with approaching the kid and saying something like "hey, you can get hurt playing in the street, please take this to your backyard", or something like that. As long as you don't try and start a conversation it's not going to be weird. If you have a kid he may even know who you are already. All of the kids in my neighborhood know me as "Edward's dad", even though I wouldn't be able to pick most of them out of a lineup.
