Half the entropy is trying to figure out which pieces of this article's text are supposed to be the silly falsehoods being corrected, and which pieces are just the second or third paragraph of a preceding 'Fact'. Deadpool is easier to follow.
Hm, no, non-24 is not just a severe version of DSPS. Or rather he seems to be saying DSPS is really just a less severe version of non-24.
I have it. What I've learned from my doc (a researcher in the field):
It's primarily a specific genetic mutation that affects many of they body's cyclic timers, but relevant here is that the circadian feedback loop is no longer able to lock to a 24 hour day/night cycle at all. The timer technically works. You're perfectly sensitive to light/dark, but you're hitting a PLL with inputs faster than its ability to make meaningful adjustments. That's not the case with DSPS.
Sleep apnea diagnosis is relevant here, it also breaks the breathing reflex timer. Imagine finding out at age 40 that you've not, in fact, slept more than a few minutes at a time your entire life, because you wake up just enough to take a breath every 3 minutes or so when a secondary suffocation reflex goes off.
I'm still mostly without words; I just hear Ralph's voice in my head when I think about his passing. He was a force of warm, kind, friendly enthusiasm. We miss you, rillian.
Q, more than any other glyph, is the letter that never fails to look weird in every typeface when I spend too much time looking at it/re-re-re-re-designing it.
Waiting for the Derek Lowe post, but... if this is legit, it's a 'holy flipping s**' moment. That kind of success in Phase I human trials is incredibly rare.
This is actually some wonderful work that succinctly explains a lot of my experience. Much of how I was formally taught to program is counterproductive to the big picture the second someone else has to understand the code. It's part of the reason that I hate dealing with Rust and C++, and breathe a sigh of relief when the codebase I need to suck into my head is good old C. C offers fewer ways to hide all the working code in six layers of templates.
Short answer is 'bugs', possibly even in the reviewer's own software. Opus (and I would fully expect AAC-LC) preserves time alignment. Something unknown, somewhere unknown, in an unknown part of the unknown software chain caused an unknown shift, and it's not necessarily by an integer number of samples. You can't use this 'enh, whatever, good enough' approach and expect to do meaningful null analysis, even if you're using it inappropriately.
In all seriousness, every aspect of this comparison is somewhere between deeply flawed and invalid. No point dwelling on just one part.
While it's clear exercise is good for everyone, this statement is not well informed.
For example, oxygen saturation monitoring revealed my at-rest breathing reflex is completely broken due to a known genetic flaw. You know the memes about 'your breathing is now under conscious control'? Mine actually is.
That led to a sleep study-- and, yup, I don't breathe when I'm asleep. I wake every two or three minutes, all night, take a few breaths, and go back to sleep. And have all my life. The mystery of why I'm 'such a light sleeper' also revealed.
Doc I saw about it remarked the mutation is probably more widespread then we know because 'no one is looking for it'. It also completely freaked out a few anesthesiologists.
[There are other reflexes around breathing, and no, I can't just hold me breath as long as I want. The physiological reminders to breathe are pretty strong! But I routinely see my SP02 at rest drop below 70.]
In fact, the 'does what I want, does it well, and does little else" is very much the reason I like it. Whatever you think of it under the hood (and I have opinions, both positive and negative here), I do like using it.
It's the first 'desktop' I wanted to use, and have used for more than a few weeks, approximately 10 years now. I've generally liked the changes and improvements over time. It finally budged me off of (wait for it) vtwm.gamma.
