Who was at the Dupont Pavilion? Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?
gmcLooking for cool retro computing images (portrait) to print and hang on the wall of the retro room but all I get is AI slop. I need some human recommendations! Old ads that are mostly visual, artistic photography. I'd happily pay as well, as long as it doesn't involve sending money to the US etc...
Please boost for reach?
Fesshole 🧻I try to limit myself to speaking 250 words a day. If I go over that it takes me several days to recover. Last week was great and I had four days under 200 words.
trendlessA team led by researchers at Harvard Medical School examined records of blood and saliva samples from more than 917,000 people across three medical databases, looking at patterns in the amount of viral DNA circulating through people's bodies when those infections didn't progress to disease.
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), for example, became more prevalent with age, while the herpes virus HHV-7 declined from middle age. EBV viral load went up in the winter and down in the summer, while others were more consistent.
The team found that a high viral load for EBV was a direct risk factor for developing Hodgkin's lymphoma later in life. However, the same relationship was not found between EBV and multiple sclerosis (MS), even though EBV is a known trigger for MS. That's an interesting finding because it suggests the link between MS and EBV depends on how the immune system responds to the virus, rather than the amount of virus present.
It's worth bearing in mind that, due to the genome sequencing data they sourced, the researchers behind this study only looked at DNA viruses, which hide in and hijack DNA. Additional work could also investigate RNA viruses, such as coronaviruses, which operate differently.

I feel like we've been hearing this same thing for at least 5 years.

Paco HopeUgh, the hubris of n00bs.
I'm looking at tuning a #discourse server for performance, and I come across a thread. A senior guy who has migrated zillions of servers and runs a business hosting Discourse, counsels a person asking about tuning. The asker started by being worried about no available RAM. He had 8 unicorn workers (7 idle). He freed up some RAM by running fewer Unicorn workers and is happy that he has a couple gigs of free RAM.
The guy running the hosting company points out that making a bunch of RAM available is kind of a waste, since you're paying for it but not using it.
The n00b's reply? Available RAM is a good thing. His source? man free(1).
My dude. You think quoting a man page is going to school the guy who does this for a living?

The Onion“By naming the film The Mandalorian And Grogu, Disney is leaving money on the table from consumers who have no idea who Grogu is but would immediately take out their phones and buy a ticket for any movie of any genre with ‘Baby Yoda’ in its title,” said report author Heather Flynn
