I used to get acid reflux, it was really noticeable while trying to sleep, but that changed after I drank some water (by accident) from inside a cave of a small island near Vanuatu. This led to the worst throat infection I've ever had, after treating it with antibiotics, I stopped having acid reflux altogether. It's been 5 years now without any acid reflux. However, I've now been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Honestly I wonder how much of acid reflux is connected to the gut bacteria.


Did you perhaps have H. Pylori and your antibiotics eliminated it?

I was also diagnosed with EoE recently - my understanding is that it also causes symptoms that feel like reflux, but aren’t. Very occasionally I might actually have a bit of reflux (evidenced by a bit of regurgitation), but the burning sensation that I used to attribute to reflux I now attribute to EoE instead.

Seems worse when I’ve recently been eating my trigger foods (mostly dairy). Sucks not being able to eat cheese :(


I suspect thats the case, but EoE became a thing for me within months of that ordeal so I suspect there is a connection. My EoE symptoms are difficulty swallowing and esophageal spasms. I have access to oral budesonide which does stop it however it elevates my heart rate.

I am diagnosed with EoE as a result of celiac disease. I've had a lot of success with Dupixent as a treatment--just wanted to put that out for HN should anyone be looking for new options.

There's almost literaly an unexplored world in our gut, related to the most unexpected things.-


When it comes to our mental and physical health, gut bacteria is our second soul.

Great way to put it, really.-

What is the first?

Where's the first would also be an interesting question:)

(And, "who's on second" ...)


Or when a car behind you tries to double dip on the overtake so you are forced to commit with them barreling up behind you.


Clock sync issues also sucked, we had a recurring issue which would cause the cluster to become unstable due to clock syncs and support would throw it in the to hard basket.


Old search was better for global searches, I find the new search great for searching within an org.


I picked up a 7900X3D last week, I wanted the X3D cache for Rust (the game). Since upgrading from a 5900 I have gone from 90ish FPS to 200FPS, no graphics card upgrade just CPU. I've seen some media/youtube reviews that don't recommend these CPU's because of the whole CCU debacle, but this is easily the best CPU I have had in years. I wanted 12 cores as a minimum for running VM's compiling PostgreSQL etc, only reason I didn't get the 7950X3D is they were out of stock.


Worked for 5 years old a ColdFusion codebase that is still in use for a large SaaS. 1 Big monolith, no tests, all procedural code and changing any code would break something somewhere else.

But honestly now I work on a typescript monolith thats moving to microservices and its probably worse than the ColdFusion code base. I'd rather work on the ColdFusion codebase.


Modern bots use reflection on the client itself, including faking the MouseEvent to the canvas/applet. Some bots use typical autohotkey style automation of just moving the mouse around and using color pickers/opencv to validate actions. Packet bots are rare but still do exist, AutoRune was one of them and it was used to duplicate items etc.


Haven’t been laid off but I see it coming in the next few months. I do DBA/performance tuning on MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server (and recently Cockroach). Being remote in Australia makes it hard to get another job so I’m thinking to learn a trade and exit tech as a career.

Recently I got into using mono.Cecil to rewrite c# assemblies (specifically assemblies created by IKVM). I haven’t had a personal project in years but this has definitely reignited a spark, so I’m going to try for a remote software engineering job first.


Funnily enough, Cyberduck (the FTP, SSH, s3 mounting software for Mac/Windows) uses IKVM for their windows release.


That's awesome, I did a similar thing with J# to port a basic Java library to C# a while ago.
