It's also pretty typically a part of History Of Mathematics and Philosophy of Mathematics courses.

NixOS is nothing like that, there's limited docs, the docs are sometimes just RTFM that links to another RTFM and oh yeah don't be afraid of breaking userspace because userspace is doing something wrong. It's fine for some of us who can of course get shit done.

Ultimately, I think some subset of Arch users who really wanted to be Gentoo users but weren't because "drama" and then NixOS scratches that itch.

Its also not really magical, they didn't just add sugar, they added meat, sugar, grains and oil (replacing butter mostly) - all together it adds up to 720 kcal extra per day per capita.

Koreans eat about 1500 kcal less per day (they are also quite a bit smaller on average so it's not 1 ot 1 of course.) Japanese eat even less (like 200 kcal less) but are also even a bit smaller on average. Both countries happily eat terrible food just as much as Americans do these days, they just eat a lot less food in total.

There's an idea that American eat out more and that the calories at dining establishments about increased about 35%.

I always figured based on the code and the emails that it was an older Japanese developer. I've emailed 100s of them over the years and they do all typically write similar in English, they mix a lot of UK/US-ism, and often their English is really good, like I wouldn't know they weren't a native English-speaker until I just caught on to how they wrote. (Speaking is an entirely different issue, many of them cannot speak English in person very well or make obvious grammatical mistakes they don't make when typing.)

Windows is also very pervasive among developers.

They also found the molecule she was smelling which was expressed with sebum. This isn't entirely unfounded as they already knew about dogs smelling cancers and other various diseases.

The US is way worst about this than most other places though. Here they inspect your insulator, lead-in wires, meter, and distribution panel and then ask what if any problems you are having (they is the power company) every four years. Mostly the electrician/contractor does the work and there's no inspection of that.

On the subject of banning gas stoves specifically. I think 100% of everyone suspects that is going to happen at some point. Why not now?

Are we implying that gas stoves are safe? Surely this is just a straw that broke the camel's back for the CPSC and likely they didn't need much if any reason to ban them for safety reason, they do in fact pretty regularly kill people.

Cavendish is actually still fairly susceptible to Panama disease and the Cavendish grown in parts of SEA are being pretty handily wiped out.

The real problem is the want to transport unripen bananas with thick skins to market and have them look ripe and unbruised. Bananas don't seem to want to breed pretty and thick skins.

People have some expectations of privacy and it's not normally considered acceptable to violate this.

Sometimes this stuff is untried in court or falls into a definite legal grey area and usually the policy is to err on the side of caution and simply assume that if something is commonly expected to be private, then it's private and should be kept so.

If we were investigating a user for XYZ and came across a file named "Personal Diary 2019.txt" or whatever, I can assure you that HR would not want us to open that file. Possibly if HR found out they'd declare the investigation tainted and want to stop it right there.

I do understand that they have their "own" system that automatically reviews posts and removes them. Sadly that hasn't worked out fantastically at my employer, they mostly remove these 5 star reviews.

I have performance trending going back 1 year and honestly other than Postgres, the performance #s are like rounding errors. PostgreSQL is getting about a 7% hit on our databases that don't fit in memory.

We also run SAP and again we're not seeing anything. The SAP Database runs on POWER Servers, so obviously unaffected at least by Meltdown.

In our case, there was a major kernel version change, so we're just at the tail end of QC before I can release things to production to begin the rolling restarts tomorrow morning.

There's also Native Taiwanese - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austronesian_peoples, they even make up about 2% of the population, I think they all want the Hans to pickup and leave their lands.

The current high end chip in China is actually new arch based on the DEC Alpha.
