Comment Re:So what is the proposed mechanism? (Score 1) 130

The proposed mechanisms are discussed in a cited paper from 2011: https://www.bmj.com/content/34..., which, itself, cites a paper from 2000: https://www.ahajournals.org/do...

TL;DR: "Possibly caused by an increase in the transport rates (TR) of highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) apolipoproteins apoA-I and -II" (De Oliveira e Silva, et al., 2000), but "The mechanisms by which alcohol influences high density lipoprotein cholesterol...are not fully understood" (Brien, et al., 2011).

Comment What About Indemnified Code Assistants? (Score 2) 64

"If you commit code that was not written by yourself, double check that the license on that code permits import into the NetBSD source repository, and permits free distribution,"

Seems like the major concern is copyright, which is valid. That would seem to imply that code assistants that indemnify users against copyright issues with whatever is generated would be ok? e.g., IBM's Code Assistants?

(Full disclosure: I currently work for IBM)

Comment Now do CTRL-SHIFT-V for Plain Text Paste in Excel (Score 2) 80

Never, in my decades of using spreadsheets, have I ever wanted HTML formatting to follow what I copy and paste across cells. I don't even care that it's the default behaviour! For the love of $deity just put a $FSCKing keyboard shortcut for plain text paste in Excel. You'll save folks CENTURIES in time vs. all the clicks to do it with the stupid icons on the stupid right-click menu. Folks have written VS Scripts that break every few versions of Excel just to do this. Why is this so hard? OO.org had this two decades ago! While you're at it, make this the default for all MS applications!
