I keep reading this. However I rarely, if ever, see someone using posh for interactive usage on a daily basis. In fact I know more wsl users.

Arc<> does exist though, and is used quite extensively in the rust ecosystem.

I’d say it’s 99% open source. Do you have any significant example of non open source red hat software ?

AGPL v3 is proper open source.

Thanks for taking the time to explain the rationale. I guess there are always subjective motives when moderating.

I often see anti-Christian rants here. I suggest you become more supportive of free speech.

By the way I’m just paraphrasing a problematic verse. Go and check yourself. Is it ok to link to hateful content?

Your rules though, noted.

As a French man, I discovered him a couple of weeks ago and binge watched his material on YouTube.

At French school we a were taught wrong takes when it comes to history (less so, of course)

It’s mainly the history from a « républicain » point of view. Also served with a blatant pro European federalism take.

Nothing wrong per se, but we should have a critical view on what we were fed with.

Should we then force people to eat less with a « eat pass »?

Obesity is even more wasteful of hospital resources.

I never dismissed him, I’m Christian. However historians tend to be a bit more cautious with the different Christian sources.
We should not consider the US to be a good sample, given the sky-high obesity rates.

Historical Jesus is just a few sentences by Flavius Joseph, a couple of references in the Talmud of Jerusalem. All the other sources are Christian.

So we lack sources to say if he was considered a magician or not to be honest.

It has this effect only on roughly a quarter of the population though.
But you have the right to invite people into buildings you own, right ?
In France the forest covers a bigger part of the territory than before the industrial revolution. I think it’s the case in several western countries.

Who shall I believe?

> I’ll immediately point out that literally every religion when taken verbatim is incompatible with our constitution. That’s why we have separation of church and state

“Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's”

“My kingdom is not of this world”

These quotes from Jesus, along with the pages of Paul arguing for faith over religious law have created this separation between church and state.

It is believed by Christians all over the world that the religious laws died with Jesus on the cross.

In this regard, not all religions are created equal. Islam is an orthopraxy as the Koran, supposedly the world of god, directly dictates laws.

Of course for databases you should use a decimal.

I’m still reluctant on using appliances based on a niche OS like illuminos.

It takes a huge amount of manpower to maintain a kernel, and this effort is not shared much.

I guess that zfs is the selling point here, but still...
