Servo 2025 Stats 6 months ago

Maybe that was explained in Rego's September talk [1] but went over my head, but how does Igalia steer Servo? I can understand that when the project was under Mozilla, there were people primarily from, or tied to Mozilla keeping it afloat. Since Igalia is a _consulting_ agency, I don't suppose they work on code themselves, so what do they do to, well, attract new people and keep existing contributors in the loop?

Scientists: Protein IL-17 fights infection, acts on the brain, inducing anxiety 1 year ago

In my opinion, yes. Echoing the sibling comment, having a large amount of distributed skin lesions, or any joint pain at all makes one reconsider their options. Surface-level treatments might be very uncomfortable to apply and wear and provide only temporary and unstable relief, as well as UV sessions. Unless you live by the seaside or would like to go there several times a year to keep the skin clean, it's infeasible as a long-term solution. On the other hand, the quality of life improves immensely with injections - the symptoms _just_ disappear, which no diet, or lifestyle change, or application, or alternative medicine, or other supportive care can achieve in the majority of patients.

It goes without saying that your situation may be different, but most people I know opt for them meds, choosing Bimzelx, or a similar treatment (Taltz (ixekizumab) or Skyrizi (risankizumab)). The only downside is the cost, but it may be very well possible to wring it out of your insurance, especially in Europe.

Surprisingly enough, this partially exposes the link between depression and some of the autoimmunal diseases. One example is how patients with psoriasis have significantly elevated levels of proteins from the IL-17 family (namely, IL-17A, IL-17C, and IL-17F) - up to 4 to 8 times above nominal values.

At the same time, bimekizumab, one of the bleeding-edge psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis treatments, suppresses production of IL-17A and IL-17F (methotrexate does that, too, albeit to a much smaller degree). As a result, people receiving IL-17 suppressors become happier over the course of years, and not only due to months-long remission - I had a chance to see this in one of the experimental treatment programs.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked 2 years ago

I have upvoted this, but on a second thought, this is probably what I would do as well if I had the possibility to observe the victim, yet all the chances to have not been caught. Makes for an exhilarating complaint and report as well (evidence: this thread).

... VS feels like a big, bloated IDE where you have to memorise the location of 4e6 different GUI positions and take your hands continually off the keyboard to do anything.

it sounds like you are completely ignoring the command palette, which allows for a quick, keyboard-only way of interacting with VS Code. have you given it a chance?

How I Experience Web Today 5 years ago

Very bitter and to the point. I regularly wonder, do the people who want features like these installed — feedback form, "support chat" windows of various degrees of fakeness, subscription offer popups jumping in your face, and other absolutely baffling obstacles — really use their own web sites? Have they ever had to?
