Because noobs can install Windows in 5 minutes?

First you need the drivers, how will you get them if you don't have a CD ROM and ethernet is not working?

Sometimes drivers suck, sometimes Realtek sound drivers mess up the Realtk network cards, will your noobs know what happened?

Then you have to install apps like VLC, good luck ending up on the official site and not some random download site

Other issue I personally have with windows as a disabled person is Windows did not allowed me to set custom keyboard shortcuts for the Magnifier app. In the worst case with an open source app I could edit the code and fix it but KDE allows me to set the shortcuts as I need

I have two systems with AMD GPUs: a desktop with a 2015 R9 Nano and a 2018 Thinkpad with a Ryzen APU. The amdgpu driver works perfectly on both of them. The Ryzen APU has one issue where you need to set `iommu=soft` in the kernel parameters to get it to boot, but that seems to be more related to the CPU than the GPU.

Maybe magic of department store. You put the same thing in Tokyu Store and the same in depaato, make sure to overprice it. People will buy from depaato. Probably for a gift. It just works like that in Japan.

Plenty of KitKats is in my local Tokyu Store - no one is buying them. I never saw anyone in my office eating KitKat even once. They eat plenty of other sweets, often local. Also no one ever brought it as a travel gift (omiyage.)
>A lot of Robonaut's actuator technology ended up in Baxter.

Well, not exactly. Both Robonaut and Baxter used series-elastic actuators. But Robonaut didn't invent them. This is kind of like saying that a lot of the tech from the lunar rover ended up in Tesla's. Sure, they both used electric motors and batteries. But Tesla's existence is in no way dependent on the lunar rover.

I started using this kind of supplement -among others- and never used to eat any pill itself: instead I dissolve its content and try not to drink the particles that do not dissolve in it (like coffee sediments). Anyway liver and kidneys health are to be taken with caution when using any supplement.
Vitamin D supplementation is also sketchy and hotly debated topic in. Everyone agrees that it is important, but the currently accepted lower limit and whether you need to supplement if you are below is disputed. That limit was set based on extrapolating observations that were not fully controlled. So that limit has limitations basically.
If you are healthy you shouldn’t bother with vit D suppl. If you have health concerns please do, but from a reliable source/brand. Supplements are not regulated.

This is why I think they should focus on exposing the dark mode setting in Javascript instead of CSS.

Sites that support dark mode should (and will almost always) have a toggle for it. It'd be better if this setting helped _inform_ the default initial state rather than _forcing_ a choice on you. To me, that's a lot easier done with a Javascript API than CSS.
> Also, most of the francophile countries are small former african colonies which may one day give up french as an official language and move to english or a native language.

That’s not happening outside of a war. It did in Rwanda because of a war where the side that eventually won spent long periods outside their home country and hated French as a symbol of the Belgians. Ditto for Algeria with the French though French is still a lingua franca so pervasive it might as well be official.

Why would an entire country that’s not undergoing a war or revolution stop speaking a language basically all educated people speak? Where is the political benefit in doing so?

A lot of people around me pretend they are working hard. They either stick around at work till late (taking 6 hours to do the thing that should've taken 3), keep replying to emails from clients/bosses/"ambitious" coworkers no matter the time, and schedule pointless meetings and phone calls. It's all about optics. These people are also the ones who constantly complain about work and how stressful it is.

Runs 5000 games run on Linux vs runs well on Linux. Unfortunately - Linux still has some way to go. Generally, you get lower FPS on Linux(could matter for competitive gaming). There are graphical glitches and artifacts even on well supported games(I am looking at you Dota2). It is far more likely for game to be entirely broken via an update on Linux than Windows and it can take quite awhile to get the fix.
Maybe so, but in some circles Macbooks are the most prevalent computer, and these Linux advances are thus hugely relevant.

I did this ten years ago and I've never looked back. When I see what Windows 10 is today I'm so glad I made the jump. Linux is easier to use than ever. It wasn't always this easy. I run Gentoo at home and everything just works and what's more is I understand why it works (well, mostly).
The removal of the <center> tag in place of CSS black magic is definitely not "easier" than it was 15 years ago. However I suspect this is going to be one of those debates that we have to agree to disagree on.

I should add that I don't disagree with the deprecation of <center> from a language purists perspective. However it was still a step backwards in terms of ease of development when centring stuff in CSS is so clunky in comparison.
You can train your voice to speak convincingly like a female. Transgender women do this all the time. The training does not take that long (a few months) and would be good for disguising your voice in a number of ways, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they did this.

> But what about when the transition takes effect? JS doesn't know when a style is actually updated and can then have a new property overwriting it to make the transition happen. If you do properties too quickly the transition won't happen. Such as if a user clicks on the bar to change the position, I have to hack in a 100ms setTimeout to set the new transition duration after stopping the transition with transition:none;

There's a slightly more reliable and less ugly hack than using a timeout, which I _think_ is applicable to the scenario you're describing: instead, force a reflow by reading the element's .offsetHeight. I wrote about this on Stack Overflow years ago: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16575811/1709587

Not disagreeing with the overall thesis of this post, just pointing out a slightly less annoying way to work around the problems from application-developer-land.
How do you, or actually how does the OP knows that it is the green tea part of the supplement, and not everything else not otherwise on the labeled that is killing is liver.

The green tea industry is massive user of pesticide, herbicides, fungicide. Extraction process can be sketchy too using re-used solvents. Water in the process can also be contaminated.

Competitive gamers lower graphics, especially on Dota2, and the game runs great on Linux - especially on good drivers like nVidia.

I am a native speaker. I have no idea what language you are describing.
1) Arabic is highly expressive, the number of ways a root word can be morphed is astonishing. In fact, I would guess it’s unmatched in expressiveness.
2) grammatically speaking, it’s very simple. A little kid can tell you when something is off in grammar. Why? Because Arabic is a language where the semi-vowels indicate the grammar. And because of this, a grammatically incorrect statement will just sound weird. This ease is why most (educated) native speakers have learned grammar at a young age. They will have poetry memorized and understand grammar in a fundamental way.

You know, and I don’t mean to question the veracity of your statement, I don’t think you are a native speaker at all. I think you grew up hearing enough Arabic to understand it and speak it. I would bet you speak and think in English and not in Arabic.
There are tons of edge cases where taking some supplements are much better than not taking them. Your argument about some gladiator is a laughable one - who knows what they ate 2000 years ago, what their actual health was? They needed to fight and often die, nobody cared if they have a healthy retirement.

I personally take multivitamin supplements, but the key to me is moderation - half a tablet on workout day, which has all the vitamins in 50% daily dose, and range of minerals of 15% daily dose, drank with lunch. No crazy doses of something specific. It helps with regeneration of muscles, joints and whatnot. Actually, my teeth got measurably harder according to my dentist after I started this regime.

The thing is, I work out these days 5x pretty hard during work week (weights, various running/cardio/intervals), mostly 1x climbing session on the evening, and 1-2 multihour hikes with 5-15kg backpack over weekend (or something similar). Those advices of daily dosages are for people smaller than me (188cm, 93kg), doing fraction of exercises compared to me. Could I do all of this without any supplement? Of course. But so far I haven't heard any solid reason why, because it measurably helps in many aspects of my health and wellbeing.
windows for docker & dev box? seems like perfect scenario for Linux here :) Fedora 29 is great tbh - u should give it a try.
For power users I would suggest Kubuntu LTS, try the live image, if your hardware works then install it and for a few years you should be good. KDE is more configurable then GNOME and it does not suffer by the GNOMEs architecture and memory issues(aggravated if you customize it with extensions)
I agree. It is extremely jarring to have light content in an otherwise intentionally dark-moded interface.

> But does that contribute in any way to your productivity?

It contributes to my happiness, which is ultimately what I care about - productivity is another means to the same end.

> In my experience I’d rather have the investment be prioritised towards more tangible things like additional training.

You talk about things being "prioritised" but I just don't think that matches how these decisions are made. It's not like they're taking money out of some fixed pool (again, at a practical-decision-making level); I see no reason to think that fruit baskets make training less likely. (Indeed I'd say that providing fruit baskets speaks to a willingness to offer cheap-but-effective things, and I'd rather work for somewhere that tried to offer cheap-but-effective training than somewhere that tried to offer expensive training).
I don't think he was trying to make them feel guilty, rather just pointing to the awkward fact that the situations and people he is talking about are the ones like those in the audience. I haven't read the book but I reckon he talks a lot about Google based on how many times he mentioned monopolies and anticompetitiveness.
I do eat quite a lot of broccoli but I still don't fancy eating 7 heads every day -- enough to cover two dinner plates.

So I take a magnesium tablet before bed. Less work to prepare and to digest.

The present moral aversion to supplements seems faddish to me. We've gone from one extreme in the 1960s where everyone looked forward to taking all food in pill form, like fictional astronauts, to another extreme where supplements of any kind are frowned upon by many including in the medical establishment. Some supplements don't absorb very well, it's true, and some consumers are irresponsible -- yet atoms are atoms and molecules are molecules regardless of the source.

Yep.

First rule of languages: Languages are not logic. If somebody tells you that their mother tongue is more logical than language X, it's in most cases just bias of the native speaker who is not aware of the difficulties.

Second rule of languages: There are no easy or hard languages. Whether a language is easy or difficult to learn, depends entirely on the languages you already speak (and, of course, the environment, e.g. whether you have access to learning material).

(edit) Big exception: Writing systems. Learning 5000 Chinese characters is objectively harder than learning how to read Spanish. Unfortunately, a difficult writing system has also a negative impact on speaking skills because it hinders you from quickly extending your vocabulary by reading books etc.

They’d have to extend it for Tesla and Nissan, as they are almost at the cap. That puts other manufacturers at a disadvantage who have not met the cap. Would be good in general, but shitty as well for those who are playing catch-up.
Hey Gregoire, that's a good question. Epics let you manage your portfolio of projects more efficiently and with less effort by tracking groups of issues that share a theme, across projects and milestones. On the other hand milestones are a way to track issues and merge requests created to achieve a broader goal in a certain period of time.

Anyway, please check this documentation for Epics https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/epics/ and Milestones https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/milestones/

>Say, if you are a vegan with a sedentary life style. You're simply not getting enough of the trace elements through the restricted type of food you eat.

I'm unsure what the sedentary life style has to due with not getting adequate nutrition. A balanced vegan diet generally will easily cover all your bases. The only worry is B12, and even that is easily overcome with fortified milk alternatives.

Just look at Jon's food plans for example.

Possibly what the grandparent was thinking of is land values. If a neighbourhood is rezoned to allow more density, one would be able to build a duplex or low-rise condo/apartment building where there used to be a single family home. This makes the underlying land more valuable, while probably also making the per-square-foot cost of housing go down. I also suspect as more SFHs get turned into more dense housing, the scarcity of SFHs would make their value jump up as well. One thing that could counteract this would be if property value assessments rose enough such that it became very expensive to own a SFH on land zoned for density, which would encourage most owners to turn them into more dense housing. Though possible one house in a 'hood of low-rise buildings would be less desirable and would only be sold as a teardown. Either way I figure more density would overall be a windfall for landowners (read: homeowners) even as housing prices drop.
We've been slowly moving from AWS to DO over the last 6 months due to cost, performance and ease of use. We haven't had any issues and the support has been far superior as well. We wrote up a benchmarking comparison with some reasoning behind the switch: https://goldfirestudios.com/blog/150/Benchmarking-AWS-Digita....
"Why did these all fail to reject the null hypothesis. That's a powerful question."

Because that's nearly always the outcome. By conventional statistical metrics, the null hypothesis isn't rejected >=95% of the time.

"The studies saying the five can't be reproduced, where are they."

They don't get published, because of the aforementioned statistical problem. The bias toward positive results isn't irrational; it's a natural response to the fact that the vast majority of what any scientist produces will be a "negative" result.

The way you learn what not to try is by studying under experienced scientists, and talking to other current practitioners. For any field, there's a vast shared experience that guides experimentation. As a new researcher, a good place to find this kind of information is in review articles and book chapters. But mostly you get it by working with experienced people.

Those with darker skin in high latitudes typically need more vitamin D in their diet/supplements.
Disclaimer: I work for Fitbit, but don't speak for Fitbit.

According to the article below, an estimated 52% of Apple Watch sales in 2017 were Series 2 or earlier. So in 2017 the most appealing feature of an Apple Watch was a lower price. This is not a sustainable business model. You could find older Apple Watches during the holidays for $200. What Apple is trying to do, and I dearly hope they succeed at it, is to create a product so appealing that people will buy the latest edition at full price. I think such a success would take pressure off Fitbit's market.

My personal opinion, though, is that Fitbit's product lineup in 2018 ia better positioned than ever to compete with deeply discounted Apple Watches. Of course there's the Fitbit Versa, but smart features are even getting into the basic tracker line with Charge 3 getting app notifications, and Charge 3 Special Edition getting NFC payments.
