I think this post could have improved visibility by prepending "Tell HN" to the title. That's what my eyes were searching for on the front page.

It’s on a “per billion miles driven” basis so it is normalized.

This is specifically for APOEε4 carriers but it can offer insights into therapeutic targets.

Vagus nerve stimulation can help IBD

> The vagus nerve regulates inflammation and cytokine release through the inflammatory reflex. Recent pilot clinical trials using implantable bioelectronic devices have demonstrated the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in adult patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) as an alternative to drug treatments.

cachecrab··on Ask HN: Do You Use a Debugger?
Yes I do. Mostly when working with Python, JavaScript, and Ruby. If the project is running in docker then I’ll use print statements.
cachecrab··on Bioluminescent petunias now available for U.S. market
It's for the actual plant. This is from the FAQ (taken from another comment):

> The Firefly Petunia is shipped as a small plant rooted in a 4” pot. As flowers tend to suffer in shipment, the petunia will arrive with developing buds. It may contain a few newly opened flowers. With good growing conditions, it will quickly attain about 8 to 10 inches in size with abundant white flowers.

cachecrab··on Tai chi reduces blood pressure better than aerobic exercise
Not all yoga is like that. Yin yoga involves holding one position for longer periods of time (often 2 minutes or more) and is meant to be relaxing.

cachecrab··on Growing scientific interest in vagus nerve stimulation
I haven’t been diagnosed with EoE (and don’t think I have it) but I do think there is a connection between heart palpitations and the digestive system. I have SIBO and will sometimes get them from the trapped gas.

Some would consider this as Roemheld syndrome, which isn’t an official diagnosis but I see it as more of an explanation that your digestive system can cause these symptoms, rather than there being a problem with your heart.

I don’t have any thing else to offer you as I’m not as familiar with EoE but you could look through the related subreddit to see if others have suggestions. Wishing you the best!

I've watched this one several times and like how she presents it.

Lab leak != lab origination. It could have escaped the lab, but that doesn't mean it was created there.
cachecrab··on Show HN: A structured list of jobs from “Who is hiring?”, parsed with GPT
Seems the advantage is that OP didn't need to write any code to extract information from the unstructured data (e.g. job title, company name, remote/not, salary, location, etc.). It seems you can feed GPT all of this data and ask it to return these fields.
cachecrab··on Ask HN: Has anyone started over outside of tech?
Childcare is a pretty large expense. Whether you have two working parents and use daycare, or one stay at home parent (single income instead of double), there's a significant cost associated with each.

The average amount spent on a child per year is 17k [1]. It may not be that much if you're making $200k+/yr, but on the median household income of $71k/yr [2], it's a pretty significant chunk — about ~24% of your income for just one child.

Unfortunately it hasn't been much of a swing state since the orange man came on the scene. Not to say that Ohio deserved this though.
cachecrab··on On why I gave up drinking in my early twenties
Are you talking about the Sleep section of Apple's Health app? AutoSleep seems to track more data than that does. It estimates my deep sleep, takes into account my HRV and heart rate, and gives me a sleep rating for the night (e.g. 90 out of 100).

Apple's Health app just tracks total time spent asleep which ignores my heart rate. My heart rate is always much higher if I've drank alcohol or ate something too close to bedtime, which AutoSleep uses to determine that my sleep quality is lower.

cachecrab··on On why I gave up drinking in my early twenties
Tracking my sleep (via Apple Watch + AutoSleep app) has helped me drink a lot less. It's very noticeable if I have more than one drink.
cachecrab··on An Overview Of Upcoming Ruby on Rails 7.1 Features Part 1
Webpacker was a wrapper for webpack, which was an attempt to make webpack easy to use but instead added unnecessary complexity.

You can use Rails with React/Vue + TypeScript pretty easily by using something like rails-esbuild or vite_ruby.

I'm currently working on a project with Rails, React, TypeScript, Vite, and InertiaJS and have been very much enjoying it, especially now that Inertia supports SSR.

cachecrab··on Ask HN: How do you fall asleep?
Recently I've been doing some deep, slow breathing before I go to sleep which has worked for me.
