"In 2001, a researcher from pesticide manufacturer Syngenta noticed that newborn rats moved less after their mother had been given glyphosate, which is widely used in agriculture. European authorities only saw the study[1] last year."

Unfortunately I only see media coverage about this in Dutch, so here is a Dutch article with a translated version.

Ah good old Soldat. Modded this into oblivion using notepad and mspaint.

Yeah I'd be interested to hear others experience regarding keeping the react-native dependency hell up to date. This has been nothing but constant refactors in our app, react-native and other third party libs.

Might a bit coloured by my small amount of experience with it.

Drink from my flesh chalice sister.

10-15 years ago (when I started using paypal) most Europeans didn't have a credit card and most US-based services (and things like Ebay and Dealextreme) didn't accept anything but credit cards and paypal. And this sometimes is still the case.

> distros don’t follow upstream as fast as possible

Well yes, the testing is of course part of the 'as fast as possible' part. But I could've made that more clear indeed.

> many buggy patches or issues that never got a backported

I have yet to see those in CentOS. But I guess we won't be seeing a lot of CentOS at all in the foreseeable future :p

> many buggy patches or issues that never got a backported

I feel like thats mostly on them. There is a huge temporal overlap between LTS versions and you should have plenty of time to test. I think I'd rather dedicate one month every year to fully test and then roll out a new LTS version than be interupted by unexpected updates at random intervals.

That being said: What a boring job it must be to backport security patches all day.

Because in most enterprise environments it's a welcome property to keep security updates separate from feature updates, which is not something rolling distro's provide, as they just follow upstream as fast as possible.

Say my enterprise application is built upon the API (in an abstract sense, if you will) of package xyz, version 1.0. And then xyz, version 2.0 comes out.

I would have to rebuild my enterprise application to be compatible with API 2 and I don't have the resources nor the incentive for that because I don't need API 2. Then a vulnerability gets reported in both xyz version 1.0 and 2.0 but xyz's maintainers only patch 2.0 (as 2.0.1).

In that case I am very happy that non-rolling (enterprisey) distro's like Ubuntu, CentOS, Redhat etc backport that security patch so I can keep running xyz version 1 (or rather 1.0.0-1 or something like that). Where most rolling distro's would just 'force' you to upgrade to 2.0.1.

Hope my explanation makes sense.

You are not. Only when you start using motions, macro's, jumps (with relative line numbers) etc things got interesting (for me).

The $ and ^ probably come from regex but I agree they feel a bit unergonomic on a standard keyboard. You can remap them if you're really bothered by it.

Personally I tend to use 'A' and 'I' a lot more because I tend to want to insert/append directly after moving anyway. And if I don't: just press escape. A bit of a hack but at this point it's just muscle memory.

And maybe in the end it all just doesn't work for you, and that's fine too! Vim is about ergonomics for a big part, and that is just a very personal thing.

Wrong thread?

which is unfortunately becoming harder and harder with artists only releasing their media through DRM-locked platforms like Spotify/not on physical media that can be ripped/bandcamp.

Thanks for giving some insight into this. Grooveshark was absolutely great!

That's just an inside joke and has been a default error page for Google/GCP for as long as I can remember.
