> Are there any HN readers here that use MINIX or possibly another OS that does not have the Linux kernel?

I have both macOS and Ubuntu on my MacBook. I have always predominantly used macOS for all my day-to-day uses and only use Ubuntu to test software that needs to run on Linux before releasing.

I have known many people who use FreeBSD or OpenBSD daily and I have even heard some people installing Haiku as a secondary OS because they have now found it 'very interesting' to use.

I don't know anyone using MINIX though, but I believe that Fuchsia looks like one of the most technically interesting new OSes to be developed in terms of OS design paradigms.
I often choose the vegetarian option when eating out simply because I know how to grill a steak or roast some chicken at home— I can make those meals just as well as they can, and for half the cost or less.

When I see multiple vegetarian meal options, that's a signal that the chef isn't just doing a low effort protein swap-out but is actually offering something tasty and interesting, and I'm interested to try it.

Actually one should provide exactly that, because otherwise the concept can be used to justify bullying.

"I don't like what you're doing" can become "That's toxic male behaviour" - which immediately politicises and amplifies something that may be a trivial personal/domestic disagreement.

As for toxic femininity - it seems it cannot exist. See e.g.

https://geekfeminism.wikia.org/wiki/Toxic_femininity

...which explicitly states that toxic femininity doesn't exist as a political phenomenon, and where toxic behaviour does happen (hardly ever...) it's the fault of patriarchy.

In this view all toxic gender behaviour is caused by masculinity.

The line between that and "Masculine behaviour is inherently toxic (unless controlled and directed by women)" is a very thin one.

These definitions concentrate on tribal/political stereotyping, not on the behaviours themselves.

The idea that some behaviours are toxic - and it doesn't matter who is doing them - seems to be a conceptual leap too far in these contexts.
I'm sorry about the stress you must have been under.

I am, however, looking forward to the absolute crud an org like that will have to eat when they have managers like that. No org can last long with such levels of incompetence... Chapman's In Search of Stupidity is a chronicling of that.

If a menu switches from 80% meat to 20% meat, I (as a meat eater) would find somewhere else to eat. On the other hand vegetarians might start to come to this place. This place might sell more vegetarian food, yet nobody will have to convert to vegetarianism.

Similarly, this is about cafeterias. Sometimes food runs out. Hell, the meat option always runs out on airplanes until food gets to me. If they reduce the meat even more, no wonder that more people will eat vegetarian dishes. There's no meat left.
I actually like them both a lot for someone who is a developer who has spend hours fixing/optimizing large queries. As someone mentioned in another comment good syntax highlighting is often not available for sql (if any) so having the keywords separated is very helpful. When fixing and improving things I mostly care about 10% of the query, the JOINS and WHERE clause and CAPS keyword make those much easier to grasp. And the comma at the line start is very helpful (even though it looks odd for me) when you are adding/removing columns and sections on the fly. If the comma is at the start of the line you can simply comment, if it's at line end you need to edit two lines when removing a particular line from the query.

It's not obvious to me, please elaborate with reasoning.

> Still, if you’re talking about running arbitrary software then try loading “Uncharted: The Lost Legacy” on your PC or laptop. It’s not going to work, because you’re always limited to a subset of software on any platform PC or otherwise.

This is due to Sony trying to push sales for PS4 by developing games exclusive to PS4. It's not the same thing at all. If Sony wanted to support Windows as a platform, they are free to do so.

I was given a ridiculous PIP once (two weeks after a receiving an outstanding annual review -- politics, eh), and actually completed it successfully (driven by rage, I knew I was going to be let go regardless).

Boss acknowledged I completed the PIP and then fired me for my "bad attitude during the process."

Well, he wasn't wrong about the attitude, I suppose.
The parent comment doesn't say the non-technical people wrote the scripts, but that they were shown the scripts.

Think of it this way: Writing iambic pentameter is hard. Without practice, you're almost certainly going to get the meter wrong at some point. However, reading it is easy, because it's just English.

The same can be true for scripts. You don't need to be able to have business people write them, but it's nice (and in some domains critical) to be able to have them read and validate them.
Yeah, that's the difference I don't think they really looked at. if the quality of the vegetarian food is better than the meat offerings, that would definitely help drive sales.
Not implying anything, but perhaps they wanted to fire you or wanted you to resign for whatever reason (including those that have nothing to do with you personally).
They seem fine doing so when it makes them money. Granted, they find a 'technically not illegal' way to do so, such as setting metrics that can only be met by the majority of workers by breaking the law and then firing those who don't meet it, but without explicitly saying to break the law.

We're getting quite off topic from antonyms, but:

> “I could care less” is a bastardization of couldn’t care less.

I've come to the conclusion that this bastardization came from the way "--dn't c--" feels in the mouth. Lots of consonant sounds in a row. Drop the "n't" and it feels much better to say, even though the phrase becomes nonsense. You even get a little bonus alliteration.
Speaking from personal experience, I've been eating a lot more plant-based meals now that Beyond and Impossible Beef are available in grocery stores. I wouldn't say I'm completely vegetarian but I'm 60% there.

There's never been a better (ie. easier) time to be a vegetarian.

I switched a little while ago, and was expecting restaurant meals to be a huge pain. In actuality I rarely have to worry about it, and even though I'm a picky eater most decent restaurants now have enough options that I can find something that I like.

On top of that, the increased diversity of vegetarian options that restaurants are offering has been really helpful in expanding my pallet in general. It's more likely when eating out that something I've never tried before catches my eye and I discover that I really like it when prepared a certain way. Eating out more (within reason) can be an effective way to get yourself to try new foods -- there are a lot of vegetables that I've gotten accustomed to that I used to heavily avoid.

Re-reading it it sounds like it swung from fastcgi because Apache didn't have PHP support, to mod_php, and back to fastcgi (FPM) because Apache had poor concurrency support. It no longer does, but from someone who has to deal with this at their day job I can tell you that the current PHP ops wisdom is still stuck on not using mod_php.
Fair enough, maybe that's the wrong term to use, after all just after the leave vote UKIP got an eighth of the national vote and no seats in parliament, so from the right wing point of view that's a poor term to use as well.

Fair point regarding the house of lords, though I was under the impression they were more veto holders/policy checkers vs actual writers of law. Though I'm no expert.

Thanks for your replies.
Anecdote: a friend (vegetarian) studied abroad and had a scholarship that included housing and food at the canteen. Being a vegetarian made it pretty lacking in variety because the lunchs consisted of a bowl of rice or pasta, depending on which of these was the side-dish to meat that day. There was different fruit yoghurts for dessert at least ;)

I don't know how I feel about this. IPv6 is the obvious answer, but maybe some kind of NAT is warranted for devices that tend not to have firewalls?

If each LTE terminal has a publicly routable IP, unless it's statefully firewalled, any random Internet user who can figure out my IP can run up my data bill, or packet me and inflict a Denial of Service. I remember long ago, some mobile operators in the U.S. were assigning public (non-firewalled) public IPv4 IPs to mobile devices... Attackers were literally scanning Sprint's mobile IP ranges for open port 22 and logging in over SSH as root/aspen to hack jailbroken iPhones!
I mean yes... but recall that the entire point of the system was that it would make data entry slow. I think that whoever set it up probably felt that the clunky form was enough of a rate limiter and nothing further was needed on the back end.
Wikipedia is a good place to start but I would not consider it authoritative. Lot of dogs in the fight over the history of Iran, specially the past couple of centuries.

You assume every race is a bug.

My best idea is to reform voting to get rid of first past the post. I think a lot of the nastiness is because we've become so polarized politically that we see ourselves as enemies. Doing something like ranked choice voting would hopefully result in more moderate candidates that more people actually like instead of the "lesser of two evils" bull we have now.

And I think we just need more centrism to ensure these fringe groups don't get more attention than they deserve.

Even Wikipedia says it's not always a bug

> A race condition or race hazard is the condition of an electronics, software, or other system where the system's substantive behavior is dependent on the sequence or timing of other uncontrollable events. It becomes a bug when one or more of the possible behaviors is undesirable.

Or read the canonical Encyclopaedia of Parallel Computing page 1693

My aunt had a terrible job in an office building downtown Chicago. One of those jobs where the boss was a maniac and made them work crunch time month after month.

The first vegetarian meal I've had where I didn't feel hungry afterwards was in an Indian vegetarian restaurant. It also tasted amazingly good.

Parts of India are vegetarian, so they have had plenty of time to refine the offering and see what works together.

> But it's not an incremental step. The French government already had that database. This is just using the data they already had in a new way.

Yes, it is a new, small, incremental step!

This is introducing a new procedure, a procedure they can change later to move the needle forward.

This is the whole point, doing small incremental steps. Each of which appears rather banal and unobjectionable.

I think Elm gets old after a couple weeks when you realize how handicapped it is as a language. Personally, I think something like Reason/OCaml is a great place to start. Haskell is a good choice too but laziness adds an additional hurdle. The core of Haskell is actually pretty simple; it's algebraic data types, parametric polymorphism, and typeclasses.

The Arab invasion of Persia is overblown. What seems to have happened is some Buffer states between Byzantine and Persia revolted and took some land in Iran.

Most of Islam's early history is forged. For example take the location of their holy city of Mecca. Muhammed never stepped into Mecca and he was from Petra. Dan Gibson has done an excellent documentary on it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOnGvzVceVo)

As for the name Muhammed goes, it means "chosen one". It was name used to refer to Jesus initially. Half the christians claimed he was the son of god while the other half believed he was just a normal human who was chosen by god. They started calling him Muhammed instead implying he was not the son of god.

> but with a much more familiar syntax.

This is actually one of my main two beefs with Haskell:

. The language is really interesting from a feature point of view, but the syntax, oh man. Looking at Haskell code when you switch back and forth from a more conventional language (C/C++/JS/Java/C#/Python/etc...) is a major headache. I can switch from C++ to Python without a second thought. Not so with Haskell.

. You can't really predict how something will actually execute, that's left to the language to decide. While in some situations this is a desirable feature, in many, it isn't at all, especially if you're writing performance critical code.
Not obvious.

Look, you've already fucked yourself by needing a 4am custom fix. That isn't a language problem.

It's extending while still using the Surface screen, and it does automatically get the DPI correct. Used to have issues with specific programs, some bits comically large and some comically small. That seems to have stopped, but the latest bug I've been dealing with involves a white bar along the top of one of the external monitors (always the left one, oddly) about an inch thick that renders that part of the screen unusual. Custom DPI of 100% for all monitors is the only thing that makes that stop. Seen it for two or three users out of ~35 so far.

I'll say that the scaling problems have overall improved and most of the time it works. But it still breaks randomly and often enough that I notice.
There are surely many valid ones.
