To be fair, it applied in feudalism too, depending on how important you were.

The chef states are (from North to South) Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Those states, amongst others, grow a lot of food, Corn, wheat, rice, pork, beef, and soy, come immediately to mind. They’re certainly not the only ones, but they do a lot.

From 3rdish grade iirc, MIMAL (Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana) is a man in a chefs hat making lots of food for the whole country. MN being the hat, LA being the shoes.

Good ol MIMAL.

I have to eat 6 tablets if I eat ice cream. If I don’t, it’s three am vomiting for me. :/

Hoisted by my own petard!

In this case I’m referring specifically to the American tendency to retain pronunciation more closely to the language of origin, for “herb” even more specifically Latin -> French -> English.

I do enjoy the idea that the stigma of a lack of education could be applied in this case though.

They like to say that but ask them how to pronounce herb or tortilla.

Short answer: No, this guy is all the way up his own rear end.

Longer answer:

Author: “C is not ‘close to hardware’”

Also Author: “Successful one to one struct comparisons may require padding, which isn’t automatically applied!!!”

Like if you have an entire PhD on this stuff and you don’t understand how and why you need to pad, when you need to do it, and how to calculate the proper amount of padding, maybe somebody should’ve stopped you before you showed your whole ass on the Internet like that.

(Padding is applied to align chunks of data more closely to the size of memory writes possible in a given architecture, it is extremely system dependent and you use it in very specific circumstances that you, a beginner, do not need to understand right now other than to say that if the senior says thou shalt not fuck with my struct you better not)

I’m from there, here’s a cool fact that you Non-Free people won’t get: “lead tastes kinda sweet” so jokes on you, our water is better tasting than yours.

I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to get through this, but thanks for the link, this is really interesting.

Given the history of outside influences on Haiti, I’m not sure how much of this story I buy.

Could be “violent gangs” torching “civil society” for “their own benefit”.

Could be “revolutionaries” torching “an oppressive oligarchy” for “the benefit of working people”.

Both of them would be reported the same way in US, or European newspapers.

I’m just skeptical when I see “violent gangs” taking over public infrastructure and when one of the “first casualties” of a “bloody uprising” is the Prime Minister who is not in fact dead, just forced to resign and flee the country.

We no longer have humor, it’s been beaten out of us by code reviews and merge conflicts.

DATA ABORT

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Hey, we’re working on making this way more fair. Places like Kentucky are trying to repeal child labor laws so that they can at least pay these poor for profit lunch serving companies.

Just a short jog north (from Iowa) and all the kids get lunch. Even though mine still insist on a home lunch… Ugh.

My wife keeps hers this clean and until recently was going through an ounce or two a month?

They have these silicone plugs for the stem and the mouthpiece, you load it up with this orange clean stuff and shake for awhile. Comes out sparkling. The smojo never looks fresh again though.

Lots of reasons, mostly this

I caught a junior trying to reimplement an existing feature, poorly, in a way that would have affected every other consumer of the software I’m a code owner on a week or two ago. There’s good reason to keep them around.

PRs suck to do, but having a rotating team of owners helps, and linting + auto formatting helps with a lot of the ticky tacky stuff.

Honestly, the worst part is “newGuy has requested your review on a PR you requested changes on but he hasn’t addressed” that’ll get you in the ignored pile real quick.
