Yes, higher is better. The CPAP lowers HRV during use.

Hold my CPAP

Here's a fun fact, the CPAP machine lowers my Heart Rate Variability. HRV spikes when I sleep part of the night without it.

It's much heavier but a lot more powerful and flexible.

With great power comes great responsibility.

GELU really is like magic:

He addressed the "dad paid for everything" rumors in a recent video.

From memory he just worked for it, bought secondhand and then made a lot of money through YouTube.

Maybe they've updated it, but I found a Windows MSI link about halfway down the front page.

Streatham High Road still seems like a grey area that should be considered a high street.

It probably was a road (connecting 2 towns with no houses) when it was first named, but is more of a street (with housing either side) now, and is definitely the primary commercial street in Streatham.

I'm always exploring new graphing libraries. Are you happy to share a link to yours?

I was fitted for one, and was told that the lower jaw is held forward by using the upper teeth as an anchor. Over time they can cause upper and lower teeth to move.

New comment by go_prodev in "Don't use your ORM entities for everything – embrace the SQL"

go_prodev — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 16:51:29 +0000

As someone who always prefers native SQL over ORM queries, I'll add a couple of counterpoints.

Most IDEs provide intellisense/validation of ORM entities, vs treating SQL like a raw string.

ORM entities also make refactoring and impact analysis slightly easier.

Despite those benefits, I generally find ORMs a pain for anything besides the most basic queries.

Glad to see it mentioned here. I used it a few years ago and it worked really well.

It makes it especially easy to drag and drop file copies across computers.

Sorry I meant setting up an account in the FB ecosystem. Prior to that I didn't use FB, WhatsApp or Instagram.

WhatsApp is that middle ground in some parts of the world.

Upon moving to Europe we discovered that WhatsApp is the preferred way to connect with friends, employees, social groups and schools. It was actually the driving factor in me conceding and setting up a FB account.

Ah that makes more sense. I recall one of the studies saying that the worms couldn't reproduce, whereas the article on HN mentions millions of eggs causing an infestation.

The article paints hookworms as disease causing parasites, responsible for the poor health and economic circumstances in the South.

But this year hookworms were involved in a clinical trial on type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease with positive results, so maybe the south were onto something.

I'm not an Apple device user so I could be mistaken, but Apple devices must be collecting all of this information about their users if Facebook is able to access it.
