> Soft drinks 2005: 51.5 gallons per person Wow, no wonder Diabetes has skyrocketed. 51.5 gallons is almost 900 ml a day. That is about 100 grams of sugar per day. This is like a epidemic of sugar addiction.

Current fads that come to mind - Gatorade and similar stuff - A movement to drink water (HydroHomies) - High caffeine energy drinks (Red bull and the likes) - Healthy alternatives (juices, smoothies, etc)

I am a fanatic of embedded stuff and home automation. I love the RPi to death but am wary of wanting it to run its programs from an SD card. Any pointers to alternatives?

Hitting quarterly numbers, amassing wealth and power is difficult to do if he is not doing what he does. Human greed has no limits. And once someone gets a taste of that amount of wealth and power, it is difficult to not get morally and eth

I think it has more to do with alternatives (except perhaps in case of cigarettes which have direct measurable health effects) availability rather than society starting to unplug from addictive substances. Peak coffee is in 1946, but what h

Ohh ok. Got it. That seems fair. Similar to a Satellite TV antenna. I get good tv reception even in cloudy conditions. I have lost reception in very heavy rainy conditions only. So I guess the same is true for Starlink too.

The site says it requires a clear sky to connect. So, in cloudy or rainy conditions, is there no connection or is there reduced speed?

As a manager of the guy, yes. How reliable or accurate do you think those notes are? How secure is having someone outside your company writing code that runs inside your servers?

As an Indian, this absolutely amuses me. There are a lot of gullible rural bumpkins out there. It is entirely possible that some recruiter made this guy do this, under the condition that once he is accepted to the job, he will have to pay 1

I am building a web application (FastAPI+PostgreSQL+Angular) that includes some user scripting. Any suggestions for libraries that do this sort of thing, but have an option to be integrated into existing apps?

WinForms is still available and has the same productivity. dotnet has successfully transformed itself and is quite popular. XAML is ok, I guess. They have stumbled in the Mobile app dev frameworks, focusing on Xamarin, but seem to be moving

I always felt Azure was costlier than AWS. My perspective is of a solo developer. Does Azure justify its higher prices in the enterprise space with other value adds? Or is it the "no one gets fired for using IBM" thing?

How scalable do you think your system is? Can it handle 10k req/sec? My usage is much lower than that but I want to target that number.

There is a reason for it. A picture goes very far than any words. A lot of new schemes are introduced by this govt, and there is a tendency in Indian politics to show or lap up to those currently in power. So its not like this person is dem

I was always taught (by extensive reading on SO) that implementing a queue system on top of PGSQL is bad. So, for small (but critical nonetheless) use cases, do any of you use your own custom built queues on top of a database?
