Git submodules have a comically bad user interface imho but they work really well so I use them despite this. As with git in general the core functionality is solid. There is also something to be said for making as much of core functionalit

That’s a bit of a stretch though... jtag for ice/debug at that point just becomes another serial bus interface with a high level protocol controller.. you’re not literally extending any scan chain in most cases. The jtag port was coopt

Or just maybe the poster has bad memory or other faulty hardware... oh but of course much more likely there’s a kernel more bug in Windows.

My point is there is you’re providing very little of substance to show that IBS and IBD are related diseases. Just because we know little about either doesn’t mean much. IBS is unfortunately by its nature typically a diagnosis of exclusion

While I empathize with ibs sufferers, this is nonsense. Nobody with ibs poops large quantities of blood, needs their colon removed in many cases, or surgery because their bladder and bowel are now suddenly connected. We don’t fully understa

I haven’t seen any quality evidence that dishwasher dry cycles effectively “sanitize” anything. Really not trying to be a “but actually” dick, but without this information it’s just marketing mumbo jumbo.

No. If anyone is going to serve the subprime market effectively and profitably, it is someone that can scale it out. That’s the whole point.

There’s a market for everything. The “shit customer” would have hired someone. Sure things could have gone to shit and they wouldn’t be paid, but they didn’t, and there is a living to be had serving this market segment. Every contracting bu

I think you might be conflating these (or maybe I should say the gp is). Nevertheless. Do you have a reference to the history of key combos like ctrl f, b, n, p and a and e? Those are typically referred to as emacs style navigation and I am

That’s pseudoscience. Regardless of any minor variability in metabolism, you literally cannot get fat from things you don’t put in. This is like high school or middle school physics. This is by far the biggest factor in obesity (consumption

Disagree with most of these. Marrying for a high level of intimacy and partnership is by itself often enough — and if followed seriously often more solid - business plans fall through. Having outsized expectations of children is often a rec

Have seen those videos (quite good) and very familiar with the downfall of RCA, but not sure I agree with this take. RCA basically set up an unworkable scenario and management did not heed the sunk cost fallacy to realize they were down the

But this is nothing new. Better public schools, lower crime, lower taxes (or at least better perceived value), an improved quality of life for a particular lifestyle have always been motivators. It’s harder to establish a career in the subu

You are mistaken. You can have pretty much any diagnosis and there is no “definitional” reason you must be symptomatic. Pneumonia is a diagnosis (well, class of), not a symptom nor a sign, which are distinct terms of art. You can have pneum

An Pulse Ox and ABG are not interchangeable exams, with the ABG giving a lot more data about respiratory and metabolic derangements. A pulse ox can also be outright fooled such as in cases of carbon monoxide poisoning or essentially wrong i

There’s plenty of newer “boutique” buildings in Manhattan/Brooklyn with the elevator direct to apartment without a doorman. It’s not necessarily more expensive to do it this way if you think about it. You don’t need a lobby or halls on

I think the underlying stupidity is that no matter how good or bad the indicator is, that’s is fundamentally different than blocking the camera altogether. This is like telling you to not use a lock if you have an alarm.

I’ve been very happy with a dell premier wireless (717 not the 616 or whatever) scissor keyboard and mouse combo purchased 3 years ago. I don’t care for the mouse at all (don’t use it). I like the key feel much better than HPs offering that

I think that’s my point. I get that JIT can produce faster code, I get that java is good enough for most things. But if you’re already in the performance critical regime there are other things you have to do where just having JIT available

Not entirely sure your analysis passes muster. While it is true pigs like chrome and slack are the norm, computers still have many orders of magnitude more memory than 20 years ago and even if a large GUI app keeps state on disk most of it
