At 14 I started my working life manning a deep fryer. I retired a couple of years ago at age 54. In between I waited tables, operated a fork lift, managed a framing shop, installed cabling plants, worked as a sysadmin, network engineer, sol

I think it is pretty clear from this interview that Linus has no intention to get involved as some Rust developers had hoped. Rust kernel developers will have to sink or swim on their own. And Linus seems ok with either outcome.

I first used Excel on Windows 3.1 and over the decades since have opened countless CSV files with it. I have never observed this behavior.

Trampling it to me implies that Excel was somehow modifying the contents of the file. Which it doesn't do by double clicking on the file and just viewing it. Do you mean that the data shown in Excel wasn't what was expected becaus

Excel doesn't change CSV files when it imports them. If the imported file was being changed then the user was saving back to the same file they imported from.

I worked in corporate environments for decades. The original comment I responded to said they regularly imported large data sets and the in the case of the genetists they also are regularly importing data into Excel. In other words Excel is

Expecting you to learn the basics about the tools you're using is not expecting too much. And if you are too lazy to spend a few seconds specifying data types then you get what you deserve.

The specific import process isn't some sort of esoteric process. It is the data import wizard. Also as I said if you are regularly importing data from a file with the same format writing some VBA to do so is pretty quick and simple tas

by tssva 2y ago
Is there a reason you don't specify the data type when importing or if it is a frequently used data file format automate the import using VBA specifying the correct data type?

Or you just discovered you personally prefer that coffee. Just because that is your preference doesn't make someone else's preference bad.

Or maybe they have tried it and don't like it. Maybe it is your taste that is screwed up and that is why you like light roast espresso. But either way even if Neapresso isn't the best coffee it isn't horrible.

That comment definitely makes me lean towards you just liking to feel superior.

Or you just have different tastes. Your taste isn't necessarily any better. It is just different. I like brussel sprouts and many find them disgusting. Doesn't mean my taste is better than theirs.

For a lot of people it is a difference without a distinction. Different strokes for different folks. I myself make my morning coffee in a moka pot and prefer it over for example a pour over coffee. I recently got a Ninja Luxe Cafe machine w

Plenty of people find them to be quite tasty and many people don't particularly like what you are calling good coffee. Coffee snobbery is like most snobbery it says more about the person being snobby.

If it tastes good to them then it is good coffee. Could it just be case of different strokes for different folks and some wanting to feel superior?

People wouldn't use Nespresso pods if they found them to be horrible tasting, as you claim they are, no matter how convenient they are. They use them because they both enjoy the taste and find them convenient. Most people like the tast

Based upon the sales of Nespresso machines and pods a lot of people seem to disagree with you regarding the taste.

Transatlantic cruises tend to be re-positioning cruises. The cruise companies are moving the ships to or from the European market at the beginning or end of the European cruising season. This usually means April, early May, late October or

This is incorrect. Most cruises from the US are closed loop cruises meaning they depart and arrive back at the same port. CBP only requires a birth certificate and government issued id in these circumstances. In addition almost all countrie

That reads to me that you have lost weight due to a combination of diet and exercise. Not necessarily metformin.

Metformin has been the 1st choice for treatment of type 2 diabetes for decades. Countless millions have taken it daily for many years. Although I’m sure some lose weight taking the impact is not near as significant or wide spread as glp-1s.
