Increase the quality of live for the working class and you get healthier people right?

It is great to se people trying to get hard evidence of these thing to argue in favor of it but I can only see dark times ahead and the misogyny will not decrease in the next decade.

Taxes of importation would be to protect the internal market of the taxed good. Taxes on raw materials that the country does not extract/produce enough somehow pointless and the consumers will pay for it.

Eventually your president will step back (as always).

Your president just want to take the news with these hot topics and bypass quietly worse things that will not appear in the big journals. It is not necessary to be a communist to see it.

I am not from Asia so I would trust more what our wife has to say than me. But I would argue that it is common for people living in a country with different language from they native language to forget how to write or even say some simple words. There's a good active effort to learn a new language.

If you consider that a lot of people using the Latin alphabet does use the cellphone autocomplete to check how to write a word used infrequently...

So I would say this text is biased by the "western" view of the writer, something that could be categorized as "Orientalism". A study about this phenomenon is valid, is important. But this post is not a good study.

'without ideological bias' is a ideology bias my dear.

US tried very hard after ww2 to make japan to be "the future" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_economic_miracle). But as it is said in this article (not with these words), the neoliberalism is not compatible. The youngs are literaly dying of too much work and what it wants to summarize is 'the old are still in power', 'samurais that surrended'. It all is just neoliberal ideology. All these contradictions are roting its society.

It's looking like PostgreSQL vs MongoDB...

RabbitMQ has implemented Streams and "Super Streams":

> Super streams are a way to scale out by partitioning a large stream into smaller streams. They integrate with single active consumer to preserve message order within a partition. Super streams are available starting with RabbitMQ 3.11.

Do you have any studies that prove this statement?

I can raise the hypothesis here that, the cat being a small animal, it is also prey and the development of low frequency communication between mother and kittens can be quite beneficial in hostile environments. Of course, I can't claim this to be true.

garou | 4 years ago | on: What happened to Russias Air Force? U.S. officials, experts stumped

Would be possible that their objective was to start by invading easily the Ukraine and Moldova then with close base to NATO old soviet nations start the "real" war to conquer all their "territories" back?

If so, their plan just completely blew up now with their destroyed economy and wasting a lot more of their planned resources to capture only the first step… And Putin don't want to admit/face defeat so is trying to win the Ukraine even with the fact that he already lost.

It all is so insane, it is freaking hard to understand these maniacs…

Slava Ukraini!

garou | 5 years ago | on: Re-Thinking the Desktop OS

I think that we should have a third DE with the same level of UX for configuration and simple customization as Gnome and KDE. But focused in Tiling WM. Pick something like Awesome or Sway and creating the whole ecosystem. Pick a OS that suits it like Manjaro (look to the logo, its tiling wm for sure!) and offers the DE as an initial option in the installation.

But considering the "natural selection" that happens here, it may be the way that is because only technical people care about this kind of thing… Idk…
