We need to stop using the term “junk” DNA - it’s an outmoded term based on the wrongheaded assumption that DNA directly encoding proteins was the be all end all.

> Yes, exactly. Even architecture astronauts are well intentioned, and if you understand the conditions under which they worked then it is quite easy to follow what they've done. It only becomes difficult when that context is lost.

I think who you’re replying to is being sarcastic (a clue is using a pejorative - “architecture astronaut”). FWIW, I agree with their sentiment and disagree with yours.

Of all the criticisms I’ve heard hurled at Java, compile time isn’t one of them. Have you actually used any of these things you comment on?

Nilfs baseline (write throughput especially) is slow as shit compared to other filesystems including f2fs. So just because you have this feature that doesn’t make it even slower isn’t that interesting - you pay for it one way or the other.

15 to 20 extra strength Tylenol can kill most children - and it’s used quite frequently in intentional attempts - literally 100s of times more often than sodium nitrite. Your argument has no merit.

10 grams of Tylenol (so 20 extra strength, or just 15 arthritis strength pills) can cause enough liver toxicity to kill. Tylenol overdoses both intentional and unintentional dwarf this sodium nitrite nonsense scare bullshit by 1000s.

Did you? It doesn’t contradict anything I stated. I don’t think the GPs informal synopsis characterizes the gist of that paper in any meaningful way.

This doesn’t pass the smell test for an in vivo result. If they spiked insulin in a physiological meaningful way without actual glucose you’d expect hypoglycemia. It’s not like insulin resistance is an acute process.

Show me a professional soldering station that goes anywhere near 900C - I think most max out at 500. I doubt the tip alloys could withstand that heat very long. Sounds ridiculous. 700C is excessive for just about anything.

I didn’t necessarily think of that as an oddity though. There’s a lot of stigma associated with dropping out of something like medicine combined with very few people out of medicine knowing any details of the training and licensure process.

This is getting more irrelevant to the thread, but it’s highly unlikely “inability” to pass a step exam was the reason for exiting medicine. The first pass rate for US MDs is 95-97%. American medical school is designed to make it highly unl

Git internally doesn’t deal in diffs - the conceptual objects are blobs, trees and commits. A tree is like a directory structure of blobs (basically whole files) and commits link trees in a graph. It’s a graph of filesystem like trees basic

There isn’t really a thing called a memory namespace, in Linux or the BSDs at least. In Linux there are cgroups that deal with accounting and you can share VM space among cloned processes (which we then typically refer to as threads). Neith

How is pointing out 1. That the SNR of the answers here isn’t the best and there may be venues with better expertise (with a specific example) and 2. Pointing out the potential scope of work in any way actively discouraging?

This is an extremely poor venue for this type of question - the answers are all over the place and mostly unhelpful (printer drivers in Linux almost never involve a custom kernel driver). You might have better luck on Arch Linux forums of a
