I have also found success with high repetition (15-30 reps) slow eccentric work for tendinopathy in my fingers and elbow. So far it's really the only thing that helps besides making sure the surrounding areas are not overly tight with soft tissue work. This guide and the linked research have been very helpful. https://stevenlow.org/overcoming-tendonitis/
It seems like a user side configurable app permission such as "allow this application to use PushKit for non VOIP related functions" would take care of this without breaking functionality. However if the author of this article is correct it seems like this is more a jab at Facebook messenger than anything.
Nitpick: I'd think it's significantly more than that, not because the number of users is large, but because .000000001% is mindbogglingly small. Remove a few zeros!
That doesn't work with average users. Basically Android did that - apps started to ask for admin permissions, accessibility features and other dangerous stuff and users just click Allow on anything.
This is exactly correct: because average users are dumb, it is our duty as software developers to make decisions for them, and to use whatever practical encryption or legal copyright means available to us to ensure that users do not have the ability--by any means that could plausibly be under the control of the user--to access and modify (or even see!) the behavior of the software running on the hardware they think they "own"... anything less would be devastating for security and is too scary to contemplate.
So, I really wonder if the reason I am getting so many downvotes (I am only at 0 right now, but I have been as high as 3, so this comment has been pretty controversial so far) is because people are somehow failing to get my over-the-top / so-exaggerated-it-hurts sarcasm (which is a bit sad), or if people so truly agree with the premise that upstream developers are smart and users are dumb that they are angry at my strong characterization of it as categorically evil (which is downright terrifying).
The problem is that users can’t meaningfully make that decision. It’s especially bad when the app says “you need this for message notifications”, but then uses it for tracking.
I feel like an API that let you provide an XPC service to handle incoming messages, but restricted that service’s access to any device info, would be the best solution.
I have no idea how feasible it would be to make such an API.
While I agree, if you randomize the number that needs to be pressed to get by the prompt it could become a serious roadblock for most autodialer systems.
I posted something similar in another thread about advice but take a programming terminology/vocabulary class, you probably know most of it after a few years experience but even a slight misunderstanding in diction can have serious implications down the line. I was surprised how much I learned and how beneficial it was to the conciseness of my code comments. This can be especially helpful with network stack and TCP/IP related work, remembering all the acronyms can save you a lot of time.
I wonder if they balanced the amino acid profile correctly, if this is not a complete protein then it wold detract from the main reason I eat meat, for simple exercise recovery. One of the problems I have with grain protein sources is they are rarely formulated in a way that allows for slow absorption and it forces me to look up what amino acids I need to supplement with.
My experience has been fine once I got some good noise canceling headphones, before that I had serious issues concentrating. My main issue is not having long uninterrupted blocks of time to complete projects that require a lot of focus.
For me headphones don’t help. The constant peripheral movement and people walking aroundbehind me are the biggest issues, just triggers a fight vs flight reflex to constantly check where people are around me.
Lighting and other environmental factors are second biggest issue.
The simple fact that Panasonic sees a (profitable) need for something like their Human Blinkers, it feels more like a cure for the symptom and not the cause.
This was a great read thanks, I found a good precursor study on brain-to-brain interface (BTBI) using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS), if you are not familiar with this research it's a good place to start: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep01319
This topic interests me, I have used indirect techniques to increase the rate at which I get into a lucid dream state, drugs are not necessary with the correct schedule. However like others here have noted sleep quality is reduced and REM does not seem to have the same restorative effect if you spend it lucid dreaming.
I was actually first taught how to do this by my Chinese martial arts teacher, he recommended I spend any time I had in lucid dreams shadowboxing and sparing with opponents and in situations (often against weapons) I fear the most. It has actually increased my ability to think objectively during stressful situations. Especially because when you get too excited in a dream it usually collapses (look up deepening techniques if this is a problem for you).
One way I have heard people use this technique outside of martial arts is practicing public speaking in the dream state to increase confidence and create a realistic practice environment. Of course the possibilities are wide, however I find it very difficult to do things I have not experienced in real life, for example I can jump really high like I would if I was on a trampoline but I can not fly around like superman.
