Unfit people are more likely to contract the flu and spread it around.

If it does, you have an abusive employer.

I certainly think so.

Yes, it would work for your setup perfectly. Linux on the iGPU and windows on the nvidia.

You are proving GP's point for him:

> So I rather waste my time on Earth on platforms that value good UI/UX tooling.

The fact that that Glade was deprecated without a replacement being ready means exactly that GNOME does not "value good UI/UX tooling".

> On a carbon-per-person metric, private jets are literally the worst.

Depends what you consider a "jet". There are a lot of aicraft in GA aviation that consume fuel at the same amount/km as a car, while not contributing to carbon emissions by sitting in traffic. Many of them also burn regular gasoline as fuel.

Unfortunately, it doesn't support multiple formats/versions of the same song.

The irony of this comment on this article is underrated.

> You don’t need gut bacteria at all if you’re only eating food humans can efficiently metabolize on their own.

You don't know what you're talking about. See https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00726-017-2493-3 as an example (one of many).

Specifically:

Research has indicated that the profile of the gut microbiota is the key determinant of the levels of tryptophan catabolites (TRYCATs) in the systemic circulation. Consequently, the profile of the gut microbiota is an indirect contributor to the degree to which serotonin is present in the brain. As serotonin is a fundamental neuro-transmitter at every signaling terminus of the gut–brain axis (O’Mahony et al. 2015), this is a consequential fact. Aberrances regarding TRYCATs are known to play a role in the onset and progression of depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and somatoform disorder (Maes et al. 2007, 2011; Maes and Rief 2012), and aberrances in the levels of neurotoxic and immunomodulatory TRYCATs have been observed in several neurodegenerative and neuroimmune diseases (Morris et al. 2016).

As evidence regarding the impact of the human gut microbiota on the health of the gastrointestinal tract continues to grow, the significant correlation between these factors is becoming indisputable (Klose et al. 2010). Moreover, it is becoming clear that a highly responsive and mutual connection exists between the resident species of the gut microbiota and the host, primarily insofar as the host metabolome status is regulated by the microbiota locally and systemically (Zhang et al. 2015).

Disruptions to the human gut microbiota have widespread implications. For instance, they are associated with diseases external to the intestine, including the systemic immune system, the genital system, the central nervous system, and adipose tissues (Ciarlo et al. 2016)

Regardless of whether you have the responsibility to make that choice or not, you are still responsible for dealing with the consequences of whatever choice has been made for you.

How is that any better that being responsible for making the choice in the first place?

Fermentable fiber is food for lots of symbiotic bacteria in the gut. Our health depends on the health of many of those bacteria populations. They produce proteins for us for which we don't have the genes, modulate immune functions, etc.

This seems to be over. Shame, I would have applied.

Most people don't know about LAFs.

Why do you need to program at a higher level than assembly?

How would a software dev get into doing molecular biology?

What IDEs exist for Linux that are free and on par with Eclipse for Java?

> But ultimately, real women are upset by it.

I wouldn't call anyone (woman or man) that can't handle being upset "real". In fact it is the opposite of it. It shows a distinct lack of skills in dealing with reality, that is if you accept that real life is not just rainbows and sunshine, no matter how much we desire so.

I found no instance of the word "objective" in the GP's comment, so no pointing necessary.

What are the criteria for being a "massive creep"? Future board members, start taking notes!

To which kind of testimony were you referring in your GP comment?

Testimony happens in a court of law not on Twitter. Show us the testimony.

Don't go to latin america or you'd be in for a surprise. Or Japan.

I'm not sure what you mean. In people who sit for long periods of time the gluteus mucles (buttocks) become atrophied. Do you mean the ass fat is useful for sitting?

Maybe you're just making a joke and I'm not getting it.

Human beings didn't evolve to sit in a chair at a desk for 6+ hours daily. What's your point?

I like C# a lot (internal classes, yield, etc.) except for their async implementation. I believe Java's Project Loom will prove to be the superior solution.

A responsibility is an obligation to perform a task or know information (authoritatively). If an object performs two tasks, it has two responibilities, and so on.

For example, an Entity part of the persistence layer in the app, has the responsibility to persist the state of the Entity to the database, but the responsibility to know the information is with an object that is part of the business logic layer. The information that is stored in the Entity to be able to persist it to the DB is just a cache of the information in the Business Object, the Entity is not responsible for it, it just holds a cache. If the same object would be responsible for both holding the information and persisting it, it would have 2 responsibilities.

This might sound somewhat confusing and useless, but it isn't so. Imagine a future where computers have a form of RAM that is not volatile. There is no need for a database, in the classical sense – whatever is in RAM when the computer is powered off/rebooted will still be there when the program resumes running.

Indeed. Unfortunately, in some languages – like Java or C#, it is harder to do without incurring a significant cost (boxing/unboxing) than in languages that allow type aliases/typedefs.

Some of the points the author makes are good, but some are severely misguided. An example:

> The Single Responsibility Principle says that code should only do one thing. Another framing is that it should have “one reason to change”. I called this the “Pointlessly Vague Principle”. What is one thing anyway? [...]

If a change request comes in to change the format of the logs to include milliseconds and you're running a search and replace over the code base, you've broken the SRP. We can argue that is a good thing or a bad thing, but that's what it means. I think it's a bit of both, a trade-off, like most things.
