EEN is a well-described and effective therapy for Crohn's. Used less in adults, and much less common in North America for whatever reason (awareness is probably kinda low). The trials establishing it happened back in the 1980s IIRC.

Decreasing microbes is posited as one of the possible mechanisms of action IIRC. See the CD-TREAT diet

I couldn't think of any so I asked why people use exercise trackers. If the goal is exercise then I've managed to do without them so if you know what their purpose is then you can just answer. But if you don't know then I don't get why you're even commenting.
What you describe in your original comment is that you write code at night with the intent of it being used by your company the next morning. I can't see how that doesn't "relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business".
Bitcoin maximalists believe that PoS is definitionally centralized and therefore pointless. This does not make much sense, especially since PoW has always devolved into a small number of large mining pools.
I like this idea a LOT. However, the potential for abuse is, forgive me, too damn high. The extension owner can extort sites to not be attacked or attacked less. (a la AdBlock Plus, ghostery(?), etc).
I know a few people who have successfully “cured” themselves of it, despite the naysayers. I don’t know if it is technically a cure or remission but the net impact to their quality of life speaks for itself. This is not medical advice and I don’t know the details, unfortunately, but it basically came down to finding the right diet and avoiding industrial oils, highly processed food, etc.

It's suspected (not proven) that the majority of the trade is actually wash trading to pump the price of Bitcoin. Additionally, an exchange trading in USD will be exposed to US regulation as a result of that, even if not situated in the US--if you're trying to evade US financial regulations (or sanctions), you really don't want to touch any USD whatsoever.
Not just news sites, either. A lot of fandom wikis run on the same platform, fandom.com. That site is a pain in the absolute fucking ass to use on any mobile device, specifically because of the autoplaying video that takes up half the screen on every page load. Weirdly, desktop is fine; no autoplaying videos or any such nonsense. It's only on mobile that Fandom has seemingly made a deliberate effort to make the user experience as frustrating as possible. And not once has the video had even a tangential relationship to the article being viewed.

The worst part is that uBlock Origin's element picker doesn't work on Firefox for Android (or if it does, I haven't figured out how to use it), so on the one platform where it's maximally annoying I can't do anything to block it.

Without US involvement, those never would've even been around long enough to become conflicts.

If we had pulled out twenty, thirty years ago, they would've been much smaller conflicts. They only get to these proportions because they have strategic value to US hegemony and so we keep arming them and escalating tensions.

> After a hypothetical Taiwan annexation, Okinawa is next. The PRC have made their claims clear. This is the bloodshed the US is preventing.

Taiwan would've surrendered without much of a fight, long ago, if not for US involvement. Taiwanese presidents would not have gotten so bold if not for their big US brother waving carrier groups around. I spent two decades there witnessed firsthand how the culture and anti-Chinese sentiment grew louder as US-China relations continued to deteriorate and Taiwan felt increasingly safe hiding behind the US.

I get your point, that sometimes MAD can be a deterrent, but in this case, we created those flashpoints ourselves, it's only a matter of time before they destabilize. The longer we wait, the worse it's going to get, as the weapons on both sides continue to get more lethal and resource conflicts escalate. Conversely, Hong Kong and Tibet fell without much of a fight because the Chinese army saw no real resistance.

The US can't prevent bloodshed indefinitely, merely postpone it until some future boiling point. The same thing we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. We suck at nation building and "peace"keeping. We defend places only until they are no longer strategically important to us, and then we let them implode, former allies be damned.

> You may be fine with the idea of millions dying because you hate America or whatever. I'm not.

"Millions dying" is probably an inevitability of the new world order, at this point. What I'm not OK with is the US pretending like we can still control the world the same we did in the post-WW2 years, forevermore, with no repercussion. We can't even govern our own country anymore, and we expect to safeguard the world? Who are we kidding?

> Also the fact you think I was alluding to the US allies nuking each other following an American withdrawal shows you really don't understand the situation there at all.

Well, I did ask. I'm still asking. I really don't know what you're referring to. I think regional spheres of influence, vs a failed US global hegemony, would still be the long-term, big-picture, less-lethal route with fewer overall casualties.

This is exactly the reasoning that my gastroenterologist used. There's no placebo controlled, double blind studies that support "diet" as a treatment for Crohn's disease.

Well, you know what: The same is true for open heart surgeries. (One of the most incredibly invasive procedures possible.)

Actually, there are studies that support diet as an effective means of treatment.

No, there aren't enough of the "right" studies that are as "high quality" as the ones supporting the efficacy of various drugs. However, "evidence" doesn't change reality, instead, it simply reflects it.

You asked about success: For me, success means no active inflammation, at all. Which was achieved through a combination of drugs and diet.

For others, success means no longer going to the bathroom twenty times a day. Having "regular" bowel movements. No obvious symptoms.

Your comment brushed off "symptoms" as something unimportant. But, for people who are really debilitated by the disease, a change in diet that eliminates the symptoms is life changing. No need for "evidence" on that.

You're right that there's no "one" diet that works for everyone, as I mentioned in my original comment. It's a learning process. However, it's also my observation that everyone with Crohn's disease gets very aware, and very specific about what they eat. (Or, they eventually face the consequences.)
That’s exactly what I’m saying. Open source software often struggles to provide the same functionality. The nature of open source makes it harder.

Have you checked out the wiki? There is a 'Getting Started' guide: https://wiki.veloren.net/wiki/Getting_Started

The game is extremely open-ended: there is no overarching objective, and you are free to interact with the world as you please. For most players, this means a combination of exploring, crafting, conquering challenges (dungeons, caves, etc.), finding rare items, and socialising with other players.

The game is 100% free so you have no reason not to jump in and give it a go if you're curious!

> How is it similar to Dwarf Fortress?

Veloren has an open procedural world with a history generation system. Although work on the history simulation is still very much ongoing, the world already more cohesive than those of many other voxel games. Our end goal is a world that feels as rich and as complex as that of Dwarf Fortress. Whether we end up succeeding is still to be determined!

> How is it similar to Minecraft?

Veloren is a voxel game, so... cubes and open-world exploration. Not much more to say about this one.

Cannabis found on Judahite temple altar (2020)
I dislike the term "immutable data structure", because it has two widely used conflicting meanings:

1. Read-only data structures, which are used by everyone in every language all the time.

2. Persistent data structures, which make the underlying immutable structures kind of mutable by creating new versions and reusing parts from the old versions of the structure.
There is a thing called "nominative determinism", that says that your name is more likely to match your occupation.

You are also open to smart contract risk in Uniswap from your other comment, but they also have been around a very long time.

I wouldn’t worry about USDC, I would worry about everything surrounding it in the defi ecosystem.
Thirded, I would never knowingly work for a company with a clause like that. Whenever I see it, I strike it out and return the signed contract. Usually it's easier for them to just sign and get it over with than to go into a whole thing with legal.

This is startups, though. YMMV with big companies. Still, no way I'd accept them owning my considerable volume of (FOSS) side-projects.
> Really? Workers have less wealth than rich people so it's OK to steal their wages via inflation.

No, workers have less wealth than rich people (no wealth, in the case of a sizeable fraction of the population)so it's not OK for rich people to steal their wages by getting "positive inflation adjusted returns without taking on market risk". I mean, where do you think "risk adjusted returns without taking on market risk" come from? They come from other people doing more work for the same cash payment.

I have Crohn’s as well and agree with the sentiment in this post. Mine mostly affects me due to strictures and the diet part most definitely appears to be correlated with foods producing greater amounts of gas/discomfort. Only two things that have worked for me are prednisone and Inflectra. For others, Budesonide or other biologics work for them. For the unfortunate, surgery is one of their only options and many times is temporary. Crohn’s definitely sucks and I would do you best to find a good GI and be extremely persistent. It took me over a year to find something that works and a lot of really tough days/nights/weeks/months in between.

As a parent myself, I can’t imagine how helpless you must feel watching your own child struggle with it. Wishing you guys the best of luck and thoughts are with you!

Ah; so that was a sort of elemental diet (if you've heard of them) for you. How much credit would you assign to those courses in helping overcome your disease?
Overeating, bigger meals, more processed foods, less veg, more chemicals used to grow food? I wouldnt look for one solution, I would look for many solutions. Its too simplistic now a days to look for one cause and one solution.

So omega 3 can cause inflammation yet its a popular supplement. What about gut bacteria, some ulcers can be caused by gut bacteria which a course of antibiotics can treat, but most people dont know penicillin based antibiotics get broken down into penicillamine which helps remove copper from the liver used for Wilsons. Now Heme and Chlorophyll are identical except Heme has an iron ion and Chlorophyll has a copper ion, but I've never heard a doctor tell me or anyone else to eat more greens or take a chelated copper supplement when prescribing a course of penicillin antibiotics, do they want the infection to clear up?

Its also worth noting, that when Alexander Flemming discovered antibiotics he said antibiotics need to keep being taken until the infection has cleared up. Now GP's issue standard fixed length courses and tell us to come back if its not cleared up and we wonder why we have antibiotic resistance!?!

If anything the gold standard is to use antibiotics initially whilst phages are being developed to target the infection and then go onto the phages. Phages are expensive but mass use could bring the price down.

And with antibiotics, its worth bearing in mind that bacteria can go dormant in the body and lie in wait until conditions are good enough for them to go active and breed again and like Covid they can evolve. Bacterial strains can be used to work out who has come into contact with others (sexually) who have the same strain infection.

And if you visit planet earth's deep freeze, ie polar regions, you might be able to find some ancient strains of bacteria.

Anyway I'd look for a multitude of solutions and be ruthless with failure if you want results. You only live once, demand the best, help drive up standards in every part of life!
In my experience, no. Quite the opposite.

Lambdas can be cost effective for bursty loads, but if you can push sustained CPU utilization, as this example does, EC2 is cheaper.

For example, an ARM-based Lambda with 2 GB of RAM running for 1 hour is $0.09. An a1.medium is $0.025/hr on-demand or $0.0084/hr spot.

Part of this is that Lambda scales your CPU performance with your memory usage. So even if your code can run in 128 MB of RAM, there's no cost benefit to you if it's CPU-constrained, because it will run 16x slower than if you allocated it 2048 MB of RAM.
Hi there, the other article author chiming in here! You can perform side effects in Unison via abilities (our name for algebraic effects) - they're described here: https://www.unisonweb.org/docs/abilities/

Breaking the Behavioral Seal
We mention it because:

1) The player community and the dev community are not distinct: we involve players in the development process and actively encourage them to become contributors.

2) There are many people that are interested in working with Rust, and it's often a big pull factor for new contributors.

3) Veloren is by far the biggest public domain game written in Rust: it's a good demonstration of what the language can do and how it performs at scale (Veloren's game server scaled up to a 48-thread machine with 181 players online in the same world during the last release party: not many games, let alone voxel games, can manage these numbers). We want to encourage other game developers to consider using it too.

I beg to differ.
I think that in the current era, where there is a lot of live footage of people and uncurated writings like twitter, the stature of 'the genius' will inevitably be reduced. Consider someone like Newton where everything we know is very filtered, and compare to say Richard Dawkins' twitter feed where he says random stuff that is sometimes ill-considered and posts pictures of his broken windscreen. Elon Musk is probably another example.

This is probably a good thing overall, seeing this juxtaposition of the sacred and the profane.

I/O perf is usually a measure of throughput, and while concurrent connections are certainly part of that calculus other factors tend to dominate.
Also if it works it works. I think people worry too much about a solution being a placebo.

Yes, it may be that your solution only worked because you believed it would work. But take the win!

Certainly solutions backed by double blind controlled studied are way better. But those often aren't an option, so use what is.
