Smoking cigarettes can be an effective treatment for mild cases of Tourette's. Of course, it's just the nicotine that does it, so vaping is equally effective.

3 hours from healthy looking to dead. That’s frankly kind of terrifying and must have been quite disturbing to observe in person.

Wrap a head of garlic in aluminum foil and stick in the oven for a while and I'll eat it by itself (or maybe spread on bread with a dash of salt). Garlic is delicious.

I stumbled upon stuff that was of a similar quality to 'Mexican dirt weed' (though we called it 'Mexican brick weed' back in the day) on smaller islands in the Bahamas and in a couple of places in Eastern Europe. I agree

If you don't feed a cat much, it'll go after just about anything rodent-like that it thinks it can sink its teeth into. [Edit: also bird-like, which is why a number of eco-friendly people aren't too fond of free range domesti

Good point - I guess it's more or less impossible to do this test on the public cloud, now (at least on the big three). It'd be fun to set up the hardware and do a full matrix benchmark of patched/unpatched host and patched&#

And this all seems in line with what the expected slowdown would be. Non-pipelined calls will have more syscalls and therefore a bigger slowdown. Glad antirez took the time to do the benchmarks.

> 1) You can't share it > 2) You can't back it up The number of photos of whiteboards I've taken over the years beg to differ. Point 3 is certainly valid. Whiteboards definitely don't work for remote teams.

I suspect that your feeling is incorrect - your word choice has significantly fallen out of favor for use in civilized discourse, at least in the United States. Beyond that it added very little to the discussion, which is often a reason for

I've always found using the unit seconds to be the easiest way to convey the scale of billions vs millions. 1 billion seconds =~ 32 years 1 million seconds =~ 12 days Edit: mikeash beat me to it ;)

As someone who's built a few sites that relied on "buying traffic" to increase user growth, we always called it "buying traffic" and I don't really think it sounds all that bad. The problem is when you're

It is just _so_ easy to make the whole thing public vs what it takes for more granular privileges (though I do agree that it's pretty straight forward if you understand how to set bucket policies, etc.). It's really just a couple
