My dad was a veterinarian for 30 years and always recommended dry cat food. He doesn’t have a cat any more, and I doubt that he has kept up with the latest research, so it’s possible this is outdated.

For popular stuff I stop seeding when I’ve uploaded 10x the download size. For other stuff I keep it uploading forever.

I’m curious why you think Python is unsuitable. Both of my kids picked up Python pretty easily.

What? I assume they work at a lab?

Meh. I lose power every 3 or 4 years on average. A UPS just doesn’t make sense for me. (When I lived in Virginia it was once a month on average, so for sure it made sense…)

So, we meet at last, Florida Man!

I wanted to buy music, but a CD that I got in the 00’s had some “protection” so that I couldn’t rip it and listen to it on my MP3 player.

Now, I ripped it from a Linux computer and had no problems, but was so upset that the record companies tried this. I realized that it’s not about right or wrong, but just about power and money.

New Zealand stopped subsidizing farmers, and survives. So we have at least one data point showing that it is possible.

Godzilla was from 1954!

Definitely worth watching.

I understood that reference!

Funny but diseases usually become less virulent over time. A successful disease generally doesn’t harm the host too much.

Ebola doesn’t spread far because it quickly kills the carrier. The COVID-19 pandemic was basically ended because it mutated into a less dangerous variant.

I visited Prague, and this painting is just up at a cafe. I ordered the absinthe with my tour guide, a Czech schoolteacher who gave city walking tours to make ends meet. She had never had it, which I thought a kind of minor sin. Anyway, we didn’t know that its like 90% alcohol. Great experience, terrible drink. 😆

That was a wild ride!

I suppose it is possible to have two PR that have changes that depend on each other. In general this just requires refactoring… typically making a third PR removing the circular dependency.

It sounds like your policy is to keep PR around a long time, maybe? Generally we try to have ours merged within a few days, before bitrot sets in.

You can make a PR against your feature branch and have that reviewed. Then the final PR against your man branch is indeed huge, but all the changes have already been reviewed, so it’s just LGTM and merge that bad boy!

How is this different from creating a feature branch and making your PR against them until everything is done, then merging that into the main branch?

I mean, I guess it depends on what you mean by “directly detect”. We measure neutrinos by having photoreceptors in huge tanks of very pure water deep under old salt mines… which hardly seems more direct than looking at where galaxies and stars are moving and calculating the gravitational pull and noticing that something is missing…

I reboot every box monthly to flush out such issues. It’s not perfect, since it won’t catch things like circular dependencies or clusters failing to start if every member is down, but it gets lots of stuff.

Emacs was the first bloated IDE!
