I love comments like these, it keeps reminding me how misinformed the dogmatic folks are in the nutrition community. I'll let you reconsider your question, and also link to you (one of) the double blind, randomized, controlled studies that shows replacing saturated fat with vegetable oil significantly reduced CVD outcomes https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01.CIR.40.1S2.II-1 .
I love pompous comments like these. I'm not part of a "nutrition community" and I'm actually pretty open minded to these things. Hence why I asked. But you seem to be unable to have a civil conversation without being an asshole. Congrats.
Tell me again which seed oils have meaningful amounts of trans fat in them?
> I'm not part of a "nutrition community"
Your comment implies you're comfortable enough to give other people advice, eg "don't eat seed oils because the contain trans fat," even though they don't. I don't mind so much that people believe whatever they want, it's a problem when you misinform others about it.
The highly processed ones that are hydrogenated, such as cottonseed. Trans fat forms from that process.
I think the more worrying thing about vegetable/seed oils is the omega 6. A small amount is not an issue from my understanding. And in fact omega 6 can be healthy for some specific situations. But it’s the fact that these oils are used in just about all processed foods and restaurant cooking to the point where people are consuming more omega 6 than they should be and we’re seeing negative health effects as a result.
There’s also increased cost on businesses to stay open in high crime areas as crime rises, the insurance rates go up and it costs them more and more to recover from property destruction and theft.
In theory yes, you want a 1:1 partition to consumer ratio, that would give you the most optimal throughput, but it’s okay if you have less consumers than partitions, you’ll just have consumers doing more work.
Keep in mind you shouldn’t really go over 20k partitions in a Kafka cluster (recommended by Confluent), as that’s when things will start to get unstable. 10k is a lot of partitions, we have a hundred topics in our main cluster and only are at 15k partitions total. But if your running a high scale low latency environment then that sounds like what you’d need.
My wife is a UX Researcher and what I see going on in the UI/UX industry through her eyes makes this unsurprising to me. Most of the time her research is completely ignored by developers and PMs, her step in their overall process is just a nuisance to them because it delays them shipping features, or it’s insulting to their ego. Now there’s a trend with developers and UI designers calling themselves “UX engineers” to take control of this process and they do a bad job at actually understanding UX Research and mock up horrible designs because they don’t do studies with participants, and simply think it’s a check list of do’s and don’ts.
The whole UI/UX space seems like a mess to me and needs a reboot.
I use it everyday! I work in a highly regulated industry and for some reason it's the only "validated" distribution that we could get approved to run internal web apps. I'm pretty sure that's false, but I'll take any Linux I can get over Windows, and its tools for system management are actually pretty great.
"Does anyone have any anecdata where they've seen it most heavily used?"
In germany. It's quite widespread there in companies and public institutions. I prefer SLES over red hat/centos, but that, of course, is just a matter of personal taste.
I hear it is used quite a lot in Europe. My experience is similar to yours, RHEL or Ubuntu, but I am based in the US.
I played a bit with Open SUSE on my home machine, I wouldn't use it a work simply because there aren't as many repos for the package mangager, for instance if you want to install kubeadm you would have to build from source.
I’ve found many yum repos that aren’t specifically opensuse repos still work. Add in the OBS repos and I have been impressed by the available software.
While this may be true, I've also never needed as few third party repositories as I do with openSUSE (particularly Tumbleweed). Virtually everything I've needed is in the official repos in modern versions. (Arch + AUR is a similar story, but honestly I prefer my experience with openSUSE.)
When I was there, my laptop was a ridiculously overspec'd Windows system (with a high end Nvidia Quadro for unknown reasons), and they had us run a SUSE VM with IntelliJ for our dev environment.
Way back, SUSE had something like 90% of the Linux marketshare on IBM mainframes. IBM's initial Linux work on the platform was done in Germany (Bohlingen I believe.) That eroded over time as Linux on the mainframe went more mainstream and Red Hat added similar mainframe support features to what SUSE had.
Bohlingen? I have never heard about such an IBM location.
Maybe you meant Böblingen. That used to be a big research and development site since the days of punched cards until its shutdown was announced 2 years ago. They did a lot of zSystem stuff, no idea whether anything with SUSE.
Disclaimer: I was a trainee at another IBM research site long before Linux was invented. So I cannot reveal any internals about the topic.
What I meant was that it was really all about SUSE originally. Red Hat came later and AFAIK Ubuntu has never really been a material presence on IBM mainframes. No one else has ever mattered with respect to commercial Linux distributions that would run on a mainframe.
This is happening in all professions I'd imagine. Everyone is so scared that they are violating some social framework - which is constantly shifting in what is acceptable or not acceptable.
To me I think it really slows down progress we could be making in multiple areas. It's kind of like a mental brake being applied to any freedom of thought. Almost like working in an old fashioned company where there's weeks worth of meetings and bureaucracy in order to get a change deployed to production to make sure everyone is okay with it, even those of whom it doesn't even impact.
