Counter example: Hawaii
Hawaii was mosquito free until recent history and had a perfectly viable food web.
Not one single species is *dependent* on mosquitoes for food, hence they are not an essential part of the food web.

Ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

AFAIK mainline ZFS is working on 5.4

Knee jerk food web bunk being regurgitated from kindergarten.
There is no need for mosquitoes in the food web as there is no species even marginally dependent on mosquitoes as a food source.

There are plenty of Class 3 medical devices running Linux so I call B.S.
Windows gets used in Medical devices only because of inertia and incompetence.

As is always the case when dealing with immigration .. don't lie.
The current situation is that bringing a child equates to get-out-of-jail-free so children are being sold at the border, probably not something to be encouraged.

Dual 27in 1440p gives me the height for editing code and enough for multiple 1up pages of documentation, code references and such at reasonable resolution (4K on 27in is too tiny for these old eyes) and FullHD on 24" feels cramped to go back to.

I also find multi-monitor preferable to a larger single display as I run a log of VMs and like to bring the VMs full screen (aka take over a single monitor) while leaving the rest of my workflow unchanged.

So returning -1 can be used to indicate an error?
Also time_t is already defined as a long in the linux kernel so its 64 bits on a 64 bit arch kernel and 32 for a 32 bit arch.
I think this set of syscalls is mainly for 32 bit architectures to be able to be explicit about 64 time_t values
Meaning that the implicit time_t is now the same as the explicit time64_t on 64 bit architectures while (if you care) about portability and correctness across 32/64 architectures you would start using time64_t.

Here are the 2 explicit sized time_t typedefs:

typedef __s64 time64_t;
typedef __u64 timeu64_t;

So the humorous OP was actually just wrong anyway :P

Also note that with GCC on Linux and most UNIX platforms, a long is 64 bits on a 64 bit arch, on Windows the long type is 32 bits on a 64 bit arch (LLP64).

And the Wikipedia article:

Real Academia Española

So the 'mule' origin seems a bit of made-up-after-the-fact-bs to me (I will take the language's official authority as the ... well ... authority on the language).

Wikipedia also notes that the term may also have come from the arabic 'Muwallad'.

Finally there also appears to be quite a bit if disagreement as to if/when it become a derogatory and where in the world you see/hear it seems to tell a different story.

In short I had heard it used before (from someone who identified themselves as that) and I had no clue it was considered offensive so I am glad to not be in the habit of describing people by their skin tone.

Mosquitoes are *not* a required part of the food web. If all mosquitoes went extinct today there would be no impact at all on the food web.

I read it thus:

So the end result is no CCR5 == no HIV == not smarter.
If you can't get HIV because you don't have CCR5 you also don't have the 'smart' gene ...

SPARC (the Sun/Oracle version) hasn't been clock-for-clock competitive for 20 years. I don't have experience with the Fujitsu line.
POWER still has an edge on floating point over the Intel/AMD ... however the cost to deploy makes it pretty hard for non IBM shops to justify.

And AMD sells AMD chips produced from manufactures that were contracted to manufacture those chips.

ARM sells 0 chips.
There are 0 'motherboards' ready to be populated by various vendors that make CPUs and Micro-controllers based on ARM reference designs.

Selling an ARM processor is a lot closer to rolling a (Linux or BSD) software distribution:
  - Are you going for performance or power efficiency
  - What 'drivers' are you going to support (3rd party IP like USB, Ethernet controllers, Video processors and crypto offload processoring)
  - What is your target boot address .. reference design etc.

The ARM customer will most typically work within the above to build the board and break out whatever peripherals are useful for their application.

There must be at least a dozen well know ARM CPUs out there ... Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, Freescale, Allwinner, TI, Broadcom, ...

Well AIX does have a reputation .. and it isn't perfectly good :P

Interesting question ... it there any reason to believe that HRC or anyone else in that seat would *do* any different? We know HRC was tight with Saudi and knew Saudi was sending the weapons the were buying (under here okay as US Sec Of State) to support ISIS in Syria. We know Obama was tight with Saudi, we know the Bushes were all best fiends with the Saudi and investment partners with the 'bin Laden' family.

So what new crazy outsider do you image sitting the the hot seat will do it differently?

IMO there is no candidate that can make it through to the ballet that would do any different ... sure they would use different words or demand some slap on the wrist but nobody gets there without being co-opted ... except for the current guy .. because we all laughed at the SOB ... and then he won.

It's the same as 'pre-Snowden' and 'pre-wikileaks' dump of diplomatic cables.
Everyone who is dealing with Saudi knows they are an open enemy of the US, but until Turkey called foul and claimed to have evidence the world could play pretend.

Before wikileaks dumped the diplomatic cables *everyone* know about CryptoAG and that the US was listening in.... but embassy's could pretend and hope that it wasn't as bad ... or perhaps the the leaks were overblown, or ... but the cable dump removed all doubt and nobody could pretend it away.

Before Snowden *everyone* knew the NSA was hoovering up data and recording phone calls all over the world, including us domestic calls of us citizens that were illegal according to their mandate, but Snowden's document dump with the help of some US frenemies was enough to remove all reasonable doubt that the NSA was in fact going far beyond it's mandate routinely illegally collecting data.

So post Kashoggi all doubt about the fate of people disappeared has been removed and there is no pretending that they voluntarily disappeared or went into hiding.

To be frank Islam as practiced throughout the middle east is a problem. Islam has many problems .. principally it is resistant to ideological reformation that would make it compatible with modern western civilization. In contract pre-1700 Christianity [after multiple reformations] was itself ill suited to modern western civilization. Core Islamic doctrine still presents a strict divide between 'Muslim' and 'Non-Muslim' where the 'Non-Muslim' is of strictly lesser value https://www.answering-islam.or...
In contract a Muslim living in a western society is still afforded fully equal status.
