Pro tip: If you go to touch.facebook.com and request a desktop site, it will let you access your messages on a mobile web browser without installing messenger. :D

The optimizer should remove that at compile time if it's not used.

Re:California ranks last in quality of life in new report

I feel like they should have done a better job of defining quality of life. A person who is born and grows old and dies in North Dakota does not have a better life than a person who does the same in California. If only for the education, career opportunities, weather, culture, and earning potential. Yea there are problems, but there are enormous benefits too.
Re:In Neanderthal DNA, Signs of a Mysterious Human Migration
on Tuesday July 04, 2017 @08:49PM (#14699274)
Neanderthalensis, like Sapien, is a species name. When we talk about these things in the context of evolutionary biology, those precise terms tend to work better than a more broad and abstract word like "Humans."
But, in articles like this, you see mixed jargons. One academic source may specialize in evolutionary biology and its particular jargon, and another source may specialize in anthropology. Their disparate perspectives and jargons are filtered through the lens of a journalist who specializes in neither field.
Each group assigns a different meaning to these words.
There is a precise and correct word in the academic context for each category of early hominids, but it probably isn't realistic to expect writers to use jargon from a field other than the one they specialize in.
Re:New Features Coming in PostgreSQL 10

I did read the article, but I can't find any mention of addressing the "Write amplification" issue as described by Uber when they moved away from postgres. https://eng.uber.com/mysql-migration/ I had heard talk on Software Engineering Daily that this new major revision was supposed to address that.
Is this issue resolved by the new "Logical replication" feature? It doesn't seem directly related, but it seems like maybe that is what he is referring to in this blog post?
