Am I the only one reading it as Being a Coder May Be Good For Your Health?

The real shock is going to be the death of the PC.

If that happens to be true, it will be another piece of history that I was lucky to live through from the beginning - when it was really great - until the death. Along with software that I really own, computer games that work without network connection, media without DRM and Internet used to spread information rather then spam, collect personal data and distribute ads.

even today fucking NOBODY gets multi-monitor working right. Not nVidia, not AMD, not Microsoft, not Apple, and not Linux.

Can you be a bit more vague, please?

Piano Media does this: https://www.pianomedia.com/pre...

I think that I've watched this developing from the beginning. Some sites implemented it and keep using it. Some implemented it and then gave up. Some took the idea and implemented their own version. Some people just moved elsewhere. Some people keep bitching about it (which may indicate a success). It works better if you have one major media outlet and it locks news about local events in a small country. For anything global there is enough of independent sources.

Should I be somehow worried because f(x)=1/x is not defined for x=0 ??

I guess, I'll leave this to Betteridge's law.

I thought those will be the ones that will be regulated out of the market.

The parent post should not have mentioned earthquake. For earthquake prone zone you want wooden houses because they are more flexible. But I don't often see earthquake reports from US. On the other hand I see tornado reports from US several times a year. The houses are turned into a pile of debris every single time. Also the victims don't usually wander around saying - "Ah, it's cheap to re-build a wooden house". More likely they say "I've lost everything; I can't afford to build a new house". I don't say that a concrete/brick building will not suffer any damage. But surely it will be in better shape compared to a wooden house.

Been that way since FF started to support geolocation.

Each Ebola outbreak is a bit different. The current one does not have decades of scientific studies. It can also evolve and mutate in short time.

That said, I don't claim that Ebola is contagious before the symptoms are shown. I'm claiming that a dangerous thing does not stop being dangerous just because it is possible to handle it safely. An infected person may not know whether it has raised body temperature because it was exercising, got a cold, ate something stale or shook hands with someone at the airport. Symptoms are not discrete. Person may just not notice that something is wrong with them or may ascribe that to a different reason ...

If they aren't symptomatic they aren't contagious, period.

And carrying a flask of nitroglycerin with you is perfectly safe providing you handle it carefully. Sure thing.

Voters worry about irrelevant issues like

Or the NSA's mass surveillance, the TSA, the Patriot Act, DUI checkpoints, free speech zones, and the countless other things our government does that violates the constitution.

True on slasdhot. Not the case anywhere else as far as I can tell. If I asked 100 in a shopping center whether they are care about having their internet surfing monitored, text messages monitored, phone calls monitored - I would not find one person that cares. Try convincing a BFU to start using encryption in e-mail. Good l luck. All you get is a blank stare (or they report you to authorities). Do you think anybody stops and thinks about containers for bottles at airport security check? Nobody does. Claim "it's for the children" or "it helps to fight terrorism" and you get a free pass with anything. Absolutely anything. Gosh, don't you see that everywhere?

Systemd is modular: ...

Consisting of multiple binaries/libraries is not sufficient to call it modular. Not in my book anyway. What are the options to replace a specific "module" with a different implementation?
