No, he's not saying every fat person drinks big gulps. But you would be an idiot to think that the consumption of non-nutritious, calorie-laden soda doesn't lead to obesity. Especially when a 64-oz Coke is 750 calories which is around 1/2 to 1/3 of what a person should be taking in in calories and a high number of people drink more than one of them in a day combined with probably some high calorie meals. Excess caloric intake is what leads to weight gain unless you would like to present some evidence to the contrary.

Linus htes GitHub pull requests.->

An anonymous reader writes "In a rant that caused heated argument Linus extolls his reasoning for not accepting GitHub pull requests:

github throws away all the relevant information, like having even a valid email address for the person asking me to pull. The diffstat is also deficient and useless.
Git comes with a nice pull-request generation module, but github instead decided to replace it with their own totally inferior version. As a result, I consider github useless for these kinds of things. It's fine for *hosting*, but the pull requests and the online commit editing, are just pure garbage.

You had me going to you posted this nonsense:

Government was also far, far more responsive. Your leaders weren't strangers you saw on TV, they were your neighbors, and people you ran into in the grocery store.

Sorry, but politicians during that time were just as corrupt if not MORE corrupt than today. To claim they were "more responsive" is fucking hilarious. Yes, they were "more responsive" to the party bosses who had a stranglehold on politics.

There was a reason that 17th amendment was passed and it wasn't because politicians were "more responsive" it was due to massive corruption.

To understand a program you must become both the machine and the program.
