Nice to see someone like me! I'm 33 and haven't been to the dentist since I was around 21.

I have no pain. So we'll see how long it lasts.

Last time I went, at 21, everything at the dental office felt like a scam, as if they were trying to find problems to fix. And I was a student and couldn't really afford any treatment anyway at the time. I lost trust in dentists after that and never went again.

This is to solve such issues that I am using and running StableBuild.

It is a managed service that keeps a cached copy of your dependencies at a specific time. You can pin your dependencies within a Dockerfile and have reproducible docker images.

It should be noted that only Modern Standard Arabic (the modern common Arabic language based on the language used in the Qur'an) still has dual. Most (if not all?) spoken dialects, which evolved from this form of Arabic have already lost dual.

It's interesting that we notice a similar pattern of losing the dual in many languages. And it would be very interesting to find the opposite pattern: a language where the dual newly develops out of nowhere. However, I do not know of such language.

This is exactly to avoid this kind of issue that I decided to work on StableBuild. StableBuild pins and hosts a copy of your dependencies at a specific freeze date, so that your supply chain is never contaminated. This way, a compromised version published after your freeze date (even with the same version number!) would never reach your build.

Such issues is what brought us to keep native honeybee species where I live, and not the domestic Western bees. The productivity may not be as high as the domestic bee, but we still get honey and it's very good! You would also notice the difference in taste. Apis mellifera honey is usually sweeter than the Asian honeybee, and not as prone to fermentation. A slightly fermented honey is also super good!

I did not know the existence of this manual. It was a very interesting read! Especially after page 28 (General Interference with Organizations and Production).

I encountered a similar situation in my career. The work looked good, the team looked good, money was good.

Then when the work contract came up, there were some unusual clauses about my salary that I was not comfortable with. They first said that it was OK to ignore the clause as they would pay my salary as explained orally. I insisted that they write the work contract as they plan to pay me. After about 1 week of back and forth, they admitted that the clause was indeed unusual, was there for historical reasons and that they plan to change it in the future. However, they said no clause in the contract could be changed as of now, as it was the same contract for every employee, and no past had employee ever complained about it.

Unfortunately, I ended up declining the offer, as I considered the risk was not worth it.

I've never smelled cannabis before in my life and don't know what it's supposed to smell like. I live in an area of the world where it's illegal and I guess not many people are smoking it. I may also have had a quite sheltered education.

This year, I went to British Columbia, and there was this weird scent everywhere that I could not describe. My wife said it was cannabis. I'm still not used to it so I don't know if I'll be able to recognize it next time I travel to North America.

I know companies that are posting vacancies that currently don't exist in order to keep good candidates on the hook. They tell the candidate that we should keep in touch for when the company is ready to hire them.

I am not sure if it's bad or not. It's true that it kinda wastes the candidate's time. In some cases though, the candidate is so good that the company will create a position just for them.

Is there anything I can do at a small scale on my own to sequestrate carbon dioxide? For example, I could install solar panels and use them to power a machine that sequestrate carbon dioxide. Does such technology exist?

After trying to reduce our emissions as much as possible, what kind of "best" choice to we have next?
