Misleading title. The heading implies both Google and Meta are threatened, but the article discusses the emerging competition to Meta, like Snapchat, Tiktok, and Apple. There is no mention of a search competitor to Google. There is no menti

A few interesting tidbits: Bill Gates: "a really good programmer like you should be able to write at least a thousand lines of code per week". So the expectation for a really good programmer was around two hundred lines per day, a

Folklore has a lot of these amusing and insightful stories. Here is one which I found amusing (except for the condescending adjective to describe Bill's voice - which I don't agree with), involving both Steve and Bill: https:&#x2

Once the toxins appear, it is difficult to get rid of them. If not (which is what is true in most cases), soaking them and then using enough heat for enough time should be enough.

This is a possibility. The mere existence of gallstones does not necessitate the removal of gallstones[1]. In this case, it is likely the pain, because it was similar to the one experienced with those having gallstone issues, was wrongly li

Daily Harvest says their testing (done by third parties) has ruled out Aflatoxins[1]. Looks like they are testing their own existing samples (from their supply chain or from their stock), which may or may not be contaminated. I will place m

Thanks for the clarification. However, in that case, won't the querying of all the cache copies/replicas turn out to be the bottleneck at high volumes? Because you are going to have to check all the existing copies/replicas s

Yes, Github has recent history. http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/html2text/ has all the initial release notes. By the way, it is interesting that Aaron implemented most of his ideas in a single file. Like web.py.

I have seen rice stay without any problems for more than a year. It was dried under hot sun for hours before storing. Most likely, the extreme heat took care of the weevils and the lack of moisture had a protective effect on the rice. They

As an explanation: Several Firefox projects used to be newbie friendly and had excellent documentation to set up the development environment, and to contribute. (They still probably are.) Are there any projects out there that do this?
