I drink a fairly high amount of black tea (about 1.5L/day) and I had read about this before a bit, but couldn't find any clear answers - what's the risk of developing kidney stones and will I have fair warning signs before pe

Yeah, I drink 1.5L of black tea a day. Around 300mg of caffeine. Can confirm, I am definitely a caffeine addict. In fact, I switched to tea mostly because I was consuming a ridiculous amount of unneeded calories in sugar and cream in energy

Many applications don't even need to deal with concurrent access though. Or can deal with them in very abstracted way. Sure, in those cases where you're dealing with a lot of concurrency and especially with concurrent access to th

Curious how they screwed this one up - did they just have no proper random source? Nothing like modern operating systems use, like disk latency? If you're in the business of doing random numbers, you'd think you'd embed a che

You can definitely use languages that are just as safe, but higher level. You could make that argument with many functional languages like Scala or Clojure, you could even make an argument that even many imperative languages are also that s

It also has org-mode which seems fairly similar, but offers additional (optional) features for doing things like tables and due dates within the tree. I pretty much just use indented text trees for all but the most complex parts of software

I used Facebook for about a year or two - but when I did I made 2 separate accounts, one for friends I was close to and one for family, colleagues, etc. Fake name on the friends one. Is this not a more common way to get around this issue?

Well, I've seen a surprising number of people talk that way on Twitter and Facebook. Maybe they're just talking out their asses, but some of them seem to take it seriously, so it's not exactly a strawman. I've seen peopl

All of the pre-existing ones suffer from this exact problem though in my experience. They leave too much, often almost everything to be decided by the project leaders. Often times this amounts to "don't be racist" and similar

Good. I'm just glad there's still some serious competition for these very huge companies.

Not only that, but lack of ads on a page is truly corrupting. Once you've seen it you can't go back. I can't look at someone without an ad blocker's browser without going "uh, here, install this". I just don&#x

That's all well and good for most things, but something that commonly involves shunning people from your communities I don't think so. You need a higher standard - one which we don't have. Even HR people can be fired and are

There's a ton of possible interpretations here - could simply be that more women just generally have other things to do with free time than men. Or maybe it's that women are genuinely scared off of open source development due to p

I don't think "the answers are out there" so cut and dry. There's many political and social opinions that there isn't a clear resolution on. So unless we have a very good way to solve this concretely and provably I

The problem is it still needs to be up to project leaders to make a determination of whether or not the behavior violates those codes of conduct. And they might not be particularly well equipped for that. What's considered "harass

I hear you, I definitely agree with your premise, but my worry is that this will basically boil down to a political test to participate in many FOSS communities. At what point do you deem social behavior unacceptable? It's a fine line

Do you have such an example of an organization that claimed to be meritocratic but defied that in practice? There are plenty of such examples for communism of course, but I'm blanking on ones of meritocracy. Seems like it should at lea

Sorry, I'm not saying everywhere in society _is_ a meritocracy, simply that it should try to function like one. Meritocracy should be a respectable goal, not one to be shunned. The labor market would be a better place if it were a meri

by problems 10y ago
What's the deal with all this anti-meritocracy stuff? Can't we all just work on a level playing field and move past this junk? Seems like not doing so causes a lot more problems than it solves.

GitLab is a lot more feature packed than Gitea/Gogs. Gogs is lightweight, good for personal projects, but if you're looking for something to deploy company wide with integrated everything, Gitlab is the way to go.

Yikes, consider running that through callgrind or something and sending them the output.

With something like RethinkDB though, you're relying on it in production. With a compatibility layer or a game, you're just toying around, trying to make it run something. If it works - awesome, if it doesn't, you're not

Seriously? That's awesome, I'm really glad Apple's taken that step in the right direction. Question though, has it had a large impact on popularity of pirated apps if you no longer have to jailbreak to use them?

For the most part thought the Android solution matches the iOS solutions there though, devs use GCM. You're however missing the part where app devs have their own servers that have to talk to Apple or Google. You have to trust those 3r

Think about what you're saying more. Android solution: You own the server. Your server pushes directly to you. iOS solution: No ability to maintain SSH connections, instead you need to get a 3rd party app to open an SSH connection for

Yeah, the only solution is to test your backups - either automatically or manually through failure. My small business uses a global network of cheap servers to provide low latency to customers, so we have encountered significant lengthy fai

I'm not saying it's not constitutional, just that it is unrelated to civil liberties and should probably be outside their purview if they're to be a politically neutral organization.
