Readit NewsI suppose only time will tell if that effort succeeds. But the intent is promising.
Dance vs basketball or some other high coordination/skill activity might have less disparity than say dance vs. exercise bike.
If one is overeating, or eating garbage all the time, then I'd hypothesize fasting to be beneficial by giving the biological system a break to try and bring itself back to a better steady-state without so much forced external input.
I almost didn't comment because I hate to take a cool thing the author did and turn it into a negative, but I've been thinking a lot about this complexity lately because of a recent foray back into the Vim world.
I've been moderately Vim proficient for most of my career, and decided to give things another try now that Neovim and Lua-based configuration is so popular. I was astounded by how simple and straightforward it was to get an LSP + Treesitter + DAP + Telescope, etc setup working, and with a clean and relatively compact amount of code.
It just felt so uncomplicated, and everything just worked. No using temporary bridge packages for treesitter modes, while still needing to copy over your mode hooks and set parent keymaps. Fuzzy completion that is consistent and doesn't depend on which company backend is in use. DAP mode layouts that consistently work as well as e.g. VS Code (I still cannot get Python's Rich library progress bars to show up in dap-mode output on emacs).
I still prefer Emacs, but am glad I went around the block with Neovim. It's inspired me to start a ground up rewrite of my Emacs configuration in the quest for simplicity, so maybe there's hope for my config yet.
Changes in thickness have been found even when comparing people scanned in the morning and in the evening [1]. Any drug intervention could be expected to cause physiological changes that could act as confounds. Also, in the discussion one reads: "Interestingly, no lasting effects of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) use were detected when comparing the four groups." This suggests that the changes could be driven by physiological changes instead of permanent changes in brain circuitry.
It would be great to see a follow up study controlling for potential confounding effects (for example, measuring baseline perfusion, blood pressure and controlling for time of day effects and usage of other drugs), and expanding the study with functional tests that involve fear regulation.

I've heard of propane burners called 'mosquito magnets', I've heard of chemicals you spread or leave out in traps, I've heard of sprays and tape. Obviously different things work for different pests. I've seen people wearing face nets and hoodies.
Anyone got any real experience and recommendations?
I remember reading a computing magazine in the early 1990s that promised a future where we would decompose applications and the OS would only really worry about a file, and you would bring functionality to the file.
You would in essence be able to build your own perfect word processing environment (for example), by bringing Company X's editing tools, Company Y's grammar checking and spelling tools, perhaps some embedded spreadsheet tables from Company Z if you were writing business reports, and so on.
We kind of have this a little today with browser extensions, in that we can extend functionality onto a webpage we're viewing, but our environments are still very application-centric and not workflow or content-centric at all.
This article shows an application that _might_ be interesting (and the CRDT is a mandatory requirement in today's environment), but while the OSes we use require us to do this sort of work in a windowed application, it won't quite appeal to me as having the full potential.
I often think back to that article as it made me quite excited about the future of user interfaces and how operating systems could support workflows tailored to the individual and the task they wanted to achieve. This was all in a time when we had moderately novel ideas in OSes popping up (Windows NT, OS/2 Warp, NeXT, etc.), and just before the web was starting to get popular.
