What Stackoverflow brings is definitely something that is needed and replaces the forums we had before well. But the balance between allowing badly formulated questions and multiple routes to an answer need to be supported better. I am not quite sure what the right solution is to this but its not putting the power to shut down questions into high reputation mods hands. Reddit posts survive despite mod power trips and I think there is a lesson in that. It may be the right way to do this is to have employed staff that check questions and point to existing solutions if they think it fits. Maybe the answer is just letting the user say an existing Q/A doesn't answer it is enough to allow the quesiton to proceed. Whatever happens Stackoverflow is a useful site ruined by policy and the community it built.

While the first finding of this particular type there have been numerous studies finding neural inflammation including glial cells as well as continued infection of the brain well after the acute infection has passed. Many have been much larger and more compelling than this small study. There are about 550,000 papers on Covid harms and Long Covid now, it's one of the most studied viruses of all time and it does a wide range of damage I know of no papers saying Covid is just a cold.

Nerve and brain damage, it comes from Covid travelling up the nerves to get into your brain. Was a series of papers on it in 2022.

Because it improves performance by saving drive reads and writes. For example we have a program in memory and its doing nothing sat idle consuming half of all our memory. But we are using another program which is reading lots of files in and writing out updates. The second program if given more RAM for caching the file contents its reading would run considerably faster, the NVMe SSD might read at a few 1GB/s but RAM is going to be 100x faster. If the OS pushes the unused programs memory out onto the swap we can that memory for file cache and get better performance for the current program doing work. We can also cache writes into files and only push completed large groups of blocks back to the drive allowing bigger sequential writes which results in less IO overhead and sequential access. If you have ever run CrystalDisk you will know is substantially faster to do this than apparently random writing or individual blocks of 4k.

Linux uses swap even when RAM isn't full. VM_Swappiness means that it will push pages of programs memory use out if it thinks it can get more performance with the memory for file caching.

Ideally people are already wearing N95/FFP3/KN95 masks to avoid catching this virus due to the high chance of Long Covid and other concerning consequences like Diabetes, cancer and death. It's always circulating and prior mild infections unfortunately doesn't mean the next one won't be the one that permanently disables you. There is no cure for Long Covid, no treatments and no funding for research. Many countries don't even recognise it as a disability which is why so many with Long Covid loose the ability to work and then end up homeless. So mask up, it's the only defence that actually works because unfortunately the vaccine does not stop Long Covid from happening.

A lot of European countries have been reducing their Carbon emissions for electricity, industry and cars for over a decade at this point. Some countries are already at the point of almost completely eliminating CO2 production on these elements such as Norway where most car sales are electric and electricity is most geothermal and hydro power. Its good to see China finally turn the tide and start reducing its impact a bit but its got a long way to go for net zero as does the USA.

After I found out about the issue I moved over to the F Droid version of the app and its working as its meant to again. I don't see any reason to switch back, once the eye of the press is off this Google will probably break it again because it directly competes with their products.

Huge amounts of their research is already open and the general public pays no attention to it whatsoever. Forcing all of it open wont make much difference but I for one would be happy that the few papers that currently are locked down wont be in the future.

This happens with every sale like this. The incoming company promises that it will keep all the employees hired and the culture wont change and all the data the company has will be handled in the same way under the terms it was collected. Then once everybody, including the regulators, has moved on they start cutting the staff and moving the operations into their existing business and then once all the prior culture is gone and all the distinction in the data is disappeared the data is now successfully embezzled and is now being sold openly. We have seen this happen so many times now, everyone knows its just a show that appears at least to comply for a few years at most.

There is a lot of Long Covid patients hanging on by a thread using remote work to stay in work who are unable to go into the office. The numbers now suffering are truly ridiculous and only getting worse. We were talking 400million in 2023 but its only grown since then and most of the studies in the past year are absurd numbers. This is going to cause a lot of disability issues for people who need that remote work as an accommodation. So far every company that has tried to force this has backtracked because the consequences have been severe in loss of staff to competitors and ultimately widespread ignoring of the policy.

Alcohol intolerance is one of the consequences of Long Covid which is a condition at least 400 million people now suffer from. That will be a life time aversion to alcohol due to a very widespread chronic condition and will have a marked impact on the industry going forward especially as the numbers continue to increase with further Covid infections.

We have done nothing and are all out of ideas. No wait we increased the amount of pesiticides and mass farming and for some reason all the small wildlife is dying, its very confusing (or not).

Its probably for creating a lab model so they can test various treatments to see if they work. You can induce pain and test drug impacts a lot easier on an analogue model like this without hurting patients. Trials costs a lot of money and often they use mouse models or other animals to do the tests first to have some confidence the drug is going to work and at what dose. But if you can get it in a Petri dish you can build an assay where you test hundreds of options at once and this is often one of the critical steps to rapid progress and an effective medicine.

Saying anything is a bit dangerous until we know their intentions. Evolution and the process of smarter cultivates dumber for food will continue throughout space. We could well become another cattle ranch in the universe. Its best to say nothing at all because its doggy dog out there in the universe.
