I imagine that living in a place with such high population density causes behavior that seems rude and pushy to us in America.
Another interesting thing that I do: I use uBlock Origin to gimp websites and hide recommendations to limit my browsing, without limiting my use of the actual website.
I want all my actions to be purposeful, no aimless browsing, no recommendations.

Email: brainn /at/ gmail.comI found this issue where they're discussing rewriting the Windows implementation using the library `wepoll`.

What would be the advantages of supporting AIO on Linux?
(P.s. I'm not trying to start a debate, just trying to answer the question.)
If you have been programming for 35 years, you'll probably be appalled by how easy it is. Look it up.
The reason for this is simply because of evolution. Our bodies evolved eating natural plants and animals. Our bodies have never before been exposed to the huge number of food additives that have been invented in recent years.
You probably hate that we have to talk in generalities. But food studies are expensive and hard to get right, and there's a LOT that we don't fully understand about nutrition. We're nowhere close to understanding all the different ways that all the different food additives are affecting our bodies.
Also, what happens when unsafe C++ is converted to v, for example, code with iterator invalidation?
There are so many unanswered questions.
And this was just some small coffee plantation.
You'll get a lot of different opinions.
Unfortunately, frontpage extensions required files to exist in people Linux home directories, and people would often mess them up or delete them. People would need their frontpage extension files "reset" to fix the problem. Fortunately, Microsoft provided a Linux binary to reset a users frontpage extension files.
Unfortunately, it required root access to run. Also unfortunately, I discovered that a user could set up symlinks in their home directory to trick the binary into overwriting files like /etc/passwd.
We ended up actually releasing a code change that would overwrite getuid with LD_PRELOAD so that the Microsoft binary would think it was running as root, just to prevent it from being a security hazard.
Basically, one day, I started getting pressure and pain and ringing in my ear. It was really bad about every other day. I went to an ENT and he diagnosed me with meniere's disease and told me that I had permanent hearing loss. I kept going to doctors. One of them diagnosed me with endolymphatic hydrops.
I spent a month or so obsessively reading research papers, and internet sites seemed to basically be support groups for people whose lives are ruined and can never think straight again.
I had good reason to suspect it was an autoimmune disease, because steroids cured my symptoms. I also had my personal suspicions that wheat was involved but I couldn't correlate anything.
So I started eliminating foods and keeping a food diary. Long story short, about a year later, I was very confident that wheat was my biggest trigger. If I eat a large amount of wheat, my symptoms come back 36 hours later, and last for at least 2 days.
I struggled with the fact that I have no doctor suggestions, or diagnosis, or study of what problem I have, what it is, or any way to prove to anyone else that wheat is causing my problem. Most people think that I'm just jumping on a gluten free fad bandwagon. Oh well. I've tested it about 8 times, including blind tests where I accidentally ate wheat. I've been almost symptom free for like 2 years now.
I of course am more mindful of what she looks at, but she was hiding it and I can't monitor everything.
It's hard to balance my love of free speech with the responsibilities of myself, these bs Tumblr pages, and the app suggestions.
From what I've seen, Tumblr can be a very toxic place and I could understand why advertisers would have problems with the content that ends up next to their ads.
I wish them luck trying to figure out this mess.
It seems unlikely to me that the answer is going to be ATS, or "we burned down x86".
I think the only way to have high assurances is to program under a system that doesn't have these classes of errors. I don't care if it's a c static checker or a new language or what.
Unfortunately the long term solution to these problems in system programming seems to be rust. But it's going to take decades for it to be established and I'm going to look like a language hipster member of the rust evangelism strike force every time I bring it up.
But seriously, it's been decades and decades and we're still writing buffer overflows. What is the long term final nail in the coffin for buffer overflows?
TODOs in comments end up getting forgotten about. Bug ticketing systems are too much work for the kind of notes I write to myself. I've tried using paper, but as I turn pages, notes on previous pages get lost forever. Staying in the text editor helps me not lose my flow.
