Is this the Long COVID breakthrough we've been waiting for? Early treatment with metformin leads to a relative 42% reduction in Long COVID incidence according to a new study (RCT).
An enormous effect for a drug that has been in use for decades and costs a few dollars.
Still in peer review, but very promising: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4375620
Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace
If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.
@marick I’ve long said that there should be a freshman-level CS class that covers basic IDE usage, bash, git, and unit testing.
I dropped out of school senior year, got a job which taught me these things, and then went back a year later. It was like I had developed superpowers compared to all of my classmates and I was able to get my assignments done at more than twice the speed. I taught some of them to a friend and he also sped up considerably.
I’m not a person who thinks that CS degrees should be job prep, but IMO learning basic practical skills early on could make the rest of the degree more effective. I spent so much of my first three years wasting time on repeatedly breaking and debugging fragile code which could have instead be spent focusing on more course material.
Anyone know if Li HaoYi is alright?
Seems like his GH activity dropped off quite a bit with no activity on his blog either (http://lihaoyi.com)
Inspired by this, I asked DALL-E 2 for an early 2000s magazine photo of John Mastodon, founder of the Mastodon social network.
Attached: 2 images I put "John Mastodon, CEO of Mastodon" into DALL-E 2 and this is what it spat out. The second photo is him founding the company in the late 1990s in his college dorm room. #JohnMastodon
