Being Exposed to Light During Sleep is Linked to Depression March 8, 2018, 12:05 p.m.

The researchers measured nighttime light levels in the bedrooms of 863 elderly Japanese adults by placing ceiling-facing light meters at the heads of everyone’s beds for two nights, to approximate as accurately as possible the light they would see while going to sleep. People who saw more than five lux of light at night were much more likely to develop symptoms of depression than those who slept in a completely dark room.

What are the differences between Windows Event Log, Event Tracing for Windows (ETW), and Windows Software Tracing Pre-Processor March 2, 2018, 11:39 a.m.

Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) is a high-speed tracing facility provided by the Windows Operating System. ETW is the core tracing facility in Windows on top of which both the Event Log and WPP are built.

Windows Event Log is a management-focused event system, designed for system administrators and IT professionals to easily consume events. Tools such as the Event Viewer and Windows PowerShell interact with the Event Log to receive and display events to users.

Windows Software Trace Pre-Processing (WPP) events are primarily for debugging applications and drivers. WPP does not use the same APIs to log events as ETW and Windows Event Log providers.

Ten Things I Wish I’d Known About bash Jan. 9, 2018, 12:17 p.m.

You don’t have to look hard on the internet to find plenty of useful one-liners in bash, or scripts. And there are guides to bash that seem somewhat intimidating through either their thoroughness or their focus on esoteric detail.

Here I’ve focussed on the things that either confused me or increased my power and productivity in bash significantly, and tried to communicate them in a way that emphasises getting the understanding right.
