My dictionary says ”industrially produced food”, i.e. frozen and ready to eat meals, snacks, confections, etc.

The issue is that the plastics and non-stick coatings leach off plasticizers and forever-chemicals which cause hormone and neurotransmitter disruption in humans, which cause obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, cancer and other serious disease.

Slap them into entity-normalized subgraphs and now you can compose all your databases, indexes, queues, etc. into one supergraph where you can seamlessly resolve entity fields across all your data stores.

Last I saw epidemiological data, cannabis smokers had a slightly lower odds ratio for lung cancer (<1.0) than non-anything-smokers (=1.0), while tobacco smokers had an OR in the high single digits (>8.0)

”Some risk factors during adolescence and adulthood have also been described, such as having an occupation as a fire-fighter, working with aircraft maintenance and marijuana smoking”

Firefighters and aircraft mechanics get exposed to high levels of PFAS, but what is the devil’s lettuce doing here?

”although the possible association with psychotic symptomatology seems clear, the scientific community is far from being able to provide conclusive evidence on this topic”

You need to read the actual text and not just the title.

Anything happening under the influence is not classified as a psychosis, mind you.

Alcohol is more likely to cause psychosis than any drugs.

File reading excluded, CSV to array is like two generator functions and a main, even with rudimentary schema support. No reason to add a dependency at all.

The web has always been inherently complex, so it is only logical that frameworks for building things on the web have evolved to tackle all the possible complexity. Of course also the introduction of handheld devices and duplex multimedia features has made the web more complex, but mostly we just didn’t care 20 years ago, because we could get away with less. Now, more and more things are exposed to us every day, requiring us to grok it all to be able to make day-to-day decisions.

No wonder so many people turn to magical thinking, cargo cult coding or Uncle Bob -like messiahs.

The short version: have your harmony or bassline go down when your lead melody goes up, or vice versa.

(It’s not that easy in theory but that is the gist of it.)

Even if there is artistical merit to his performance, it is in poor taste, as using another artist’s work as-is as a part of a new artwork is generally frowned upon.

Minting NFTs off the original is straight up thievery.

It’s the plasticizers and non-stick forever chemicals that are causing obesity and illness. The more processed the food, the more residues there are.
