From the "Crticial reception" section:

Criticism surrounding the book involved concern about statistical errors in the book and the alarmism it generated in some readers.[27] A review from Alexey Guzey, an independent researcher, criticized the book in an essay entitled Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep" Is Riddled with Scientific and Factual Errors.[28] The criticism was discussed on the BBC series More or Less.[29] Guzey's criticism was also discussed by Andrew Gelman, a statistician at Columbia University.[30] In a later post on Columbia's statistics blog, Gelman indicated that Walker's purported removal of a bar from a graph could be a "smoking gun," commenting that it entered "research misconduct" territory.[31] Walker posted his responses to these and other criticisms in 2019 on his own blog.

Not being a domain expert, I'd certainly want to see a handful of peer reviews for a book of this sort before subscribing to its conclusions. The fact that it's a best-seller and well-received by the mainstream press is largely irrelevant.

I'd guess they use .mod files - instruments and tracks, rather than digitized audio.

It should abort the program, logging the stack and whatever the context you pass into in, printf-style. If it doesn't abort, it just buries the issue of the program being in incorrect internal state. It should never be OK.

This was in '93 or thereabouts and they were really expensive and through that very sparse where I was.

The latter had a printer port output option that, combined with 10 resistors and 5 minutes of soldering, yielded proper sound on any standalone speaker. In the era of chip tunes and inaccessible SoundBlaster cards, it was nothing short of magic.

Fast forward to 5:50 and the "groovy" comment will click in.

Can't seem to find any info on this on their website.

That was the only practical thing I learned from my 23andme test results and it explained crappy night sleep quality when drinking coffee after 3 pm. Switching to decaf beans helped.

It's a perfectly valid concern, obviously. However in the current context of a blatantly corrupted government this might be a squeeze for money or just something done out of spite.
