Security through obscurity. Not the best practice.

7% of emergency department visits were for kids that took melatonin?

What kind of bull is this?

(Bad reporting or proofreading, 7% of pediatric ingestions)

People need programmers to make boring things. Often boring things make more money than programming stuff for science.

We need both. Programming is a tool.

I use Bitwarden for passwords. Just works so well.

KeepassXC and KeePassium for TOTP codes. I keep the database in the cloud but sync a key with Syncthing that’s needed to unlock the database on the devices themselves.

It’s not a controversial decision… it’s a dumb as fuck decision not based in medicine or science.

AFAIK Libreoffice only uses Java for limited things and isn’t a requirement.

Pretty sure it’s mostly C++

Please do.

Yeah they’re all in on snaps. Vote with your distro choice.

Disagree. Libreoffice is pretty capable for most use cases nowadays.

Compatibility is also pretty good with Microsoft formats despite Microsoft‘s best efforts.

OpenOffice is dead.

Audiologist here.

We treat it like a medical emergency. Reason being if it is a sudden sensorineural loss then they would start you on Prednisone asap. It may help to preserve your hearing.

We think it needs started within a few weeks (at the very most) but earlier is probably better.

That being said, it might not be a sudden sensorineural loss. A hearing test would tell you.

In my experience having seen many actual sudden sensorineural losses over the years, the treatment doesn’t necessarily help in many cases. It’s a last ditch effort really to preserve what we can. Personally, I would probably just wait for morning, but I would tell a patient to go immediately.

Yep. Why I use Linux now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m just wondering if someone can generate me a hawk-camel hybrid.

My toddler really wants camels to be a type of hawk.
