Any kernel module that's not required (wifi, graphics, sound, USB, etc depending on application), any security system like selinux, any unnecessary libraries, helper utilities, etc etc. Basically you rip out anything not strictly requi

Nobody is claiming Palau. The point is that China has effectively embargoed Palau, similar to the US embargo on Cuba following their revolution.

There's the principle of neutrality and objectivity which is extremely important in science, especially when lives are at stake. 1000 a month may indeed not be a huge sum for a doctor, but it is not nothing, and one has to wonder what

Please don't call it "ride sharing", which is when 2 or more people going to the same place share the cost of transportation. There is no profit motive involved. What Uber and others do is an unlicensed/subcontracted tax

Yeah, bad things tend to happen when Germany gets focused on their military. Let's not encourage them!

But not single payer health care, free education, modern transport infrastructure, parental leave, and renewable energy It's all about priorities.

You're quite right in the sense that the military invaded, but it was not so much an occupation with a puppet government and continuous guerilla warfare , like the Soviets in Afghanistan, the Nazis in France or the US in Iraq. It was m

There's also the fact that the Soviets over-extended themselves militarily at the same time, Afghanistan comes readily to mind. China has a large, powerful and I would assume expensive militarily, but has not deployed significant numbe

It's not uncommon in countries with comprehensive health care for veterans to receive additional benefits (even for non combat/service related injuries). But you're right that much of the VA could be replaced with a national

Hermits and recluses are not a 21st century media invention. Whatever the reason, spirituality, philosophy, art, to name a few, people have decided to live alone since at least recorded history...

What do you mean "ship" to production? Isn't the normal thing to do to modify the code directly on the production server using FileZilla on port 21?

At one point, this type of desperate act might have far reaching consequences in the US, it's a matter of how desperate society is as a whole. The Arab Spring revolutions were started by a suicide brought about by severe injustice and

No this is only for markdown, so will not have the same breadth of features and tooling as Sphinx or Doxygen.

Looks good but not seeing too many performance improvements unfortunately. Which is a shame, I much prefer Thunderbird to Kmail UI wise, but when processing thousands of messages (deleting, moving, filtering, etc) it slows to a crawl then f

Exactly. If you really care about being competitive, invest in education and social services. Then the locals can compete effectively for high value jobs.

Shutting out skilled, educated immigrants doesn't magically make natives more skilled nor better educated. Take a look at the UK and Brexit, they're having problems hiring enough health care professionals precisely because of thei

Many of the most densely populated areas of the world are coastal areas, and at risk of being completely flooded by sea level rise. Many of the world's best agricultural land is at risk of desertification. What happens when NYC, Miami,

Kill off the entire species, probably not. Kill off a good percentage of us, most likely if nothing is done. Thankfully there are enough people in the world that don't think like Scott Adams, and are trying to do something about it rig

Generally speaking there is no way I'm installing a compiler on production servers, so having a builder is needed. And rather than having a bunch of different machines for each stack, much cheaper and easier to have docker images. Then

Type hints are not taken into account by the Python interpreter. They do help an IDE like pycharm, but that won't catch all errors.

Does this run on Linux now? Honest question. I remember some years back toying around with C# on Linux using Mono. The language is nice, but the .net stuff quickly became limiting.

Nevermind what a bunch of drunk teenagers would do upon seeing that setup. I'm in the same situation, there's the option of renting a nearby garage but when I factor that into the cost of an already expensive vehicle, the economic

They're slowly making appearances in public parking lots, train stations, etc, even curbside spots in some cities. But yeah, nowhere near the number needed for the electric car revolution (tm). Although I've noticed most of said c

There's still the Golf GT-E which looks pretty sweet, shared platform with the Audi e-tron. Finally a mainstream plug in hybrid with good performance. Now, about the price...

I use both, but we choose Django for all new projects. For advantages of Django vs Symfony, there's first advantages of Python over PHP... In a web design context probably the biggest advantage is having things like asynchronous code w

I work with a designer that has something like 20+ years of print experience. We make web sites. It's true that some habits are hard to break, like wanting pixel perfect shapes and alignments, which of course doesn't work too well

My worry with toddlers and touch interfaces is precisely because at that age they should be exploring the world, touching, tasting, smelling, feeling... By exposing them to something that doesn't react to the laws of physics, I fear th
