We should have a vote on what's the worst part of Linux

Probably hygiene.
My OpenVMS systems probably out-noise all possible Linux systems.

There's am mistake in the Linux one. Linux is written in C not C++
Linus Torvalds: C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot
of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much
easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if
the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out,
that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.

What's remarkable about that quote is it's exactly what C++ programmers say about VB.

and they recommended I also buy:
How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence
For the curious, the product I bought is Amazon.com : European Gourmet Bakery Organic Chocolate Icing Mix, 11 Ounce - 12 per case. : Pudding : Grocery & Gourmet Food and the reason I have to buy it online now is because the store that used to carry it no longer does! They've replaced their frostings with some crap-in-a-can.
Hate it when that happens. This stuff is great, and because it's dry, I can easily add vanilla or almond extract or cherry juice or other flavor enhancements.
Of course, I suppose I could pretty easily make my own frosting too. That's down the road some time.

Maybe other buyers have frequently bought syringes with their frosting mix?

So amazon gave you a book recommendation with your order. Seems like icing on the cake to me. No need to get all frosty over it. Ignoring it is as easy as pie.

Yes, what is the reason you have to buy it ? Icing is just an easy mix of ingredients, and I suppose that the powder you bought also had to be mixes with somehting, so I am not sure why the predone stuff is any better ?

So I looked up your link this morning. I am also listening to some music on youtube while working, and I already got not less than 3 video ads for Dr Oetker since then.
The Internet trying to drive my life choices, let them be small or big, is slowly driving me nuts...

Hello, Marc,
My name is Sheryl, and I can certainly help you with your question about Amazon recommendations.
But, first, let's verify your address, credit card number, number of pets in your house (or, if in the wild, you feed regularly).
Hello, Marc,
My name is David, and I can certainly help you with your question about Amazon recommendations.
Your question is about why you received a book recommendation after you purchased: European Gourmet Bakery Organic Chocolate Icing Mix, 11 Ounce - 12 per case ?
I understand that Sheryl spoke with you first, and I'm not surprised she escalated your issue: I know how disturbing it is to have someone question your sanity; it happens to me all the time. And, that Sheryl: well, she's into this "ketosis" thing that I think is a poor substitute for the lithium she really needs.
Marc, I'm not really supposed to reveal this, but, our personality-to-choices profile for you strongly suggests you resonate with a cluster we call "boundary pushers." That's associated with traits like: "question authority," "highly creative," "test the limits."
So, it doesn't surprise me that this book on psychedelics was recommended for you: in fact, nothing surprises me right now because I dropped 100mcg. of really great acid into my morning guava and goat-milk shake, and the moire patterns on my screen right now are turning into a picture of you, Marc.

A few years ago, Amazon got this idea that I would be interested in lots of proposals for gay movies. Well, I am not. I don't mind gay culture; I have both colleagues and friends who are openly homosexual, and that is fine with me. But I don't see that as a good reason for Amazon to suggest gay movies - and anyway, how would they know? I was just puzzled about their ideas about my preferences.
I took several months for me to make the connection. I had bought a sizable pile of DVDs in one big order, and didn't get to viewing the last one for quite a long time. That was an Italian black-and-white "artsy" movie from the early 1960s, the story based on some old Hellenic mythology, with gods and demigods. Those demigods visiting earth wasn't excessively dressed up - that is not the style of hellenic demigods. And they were male. There was nothing in the story in the direction of gay erotics, just that more male skin was visible than in a typical modern US movie. So, says the wisdom of Amazon: Anyone who sees demigods displaying their skin, do it because of the homoerotic attraction.
Here in Norway, homophobics are the outcasts, more or less. Being labeled as a homosexual won't give you big problems, whether it is correct or incorrect. But there are cultures where such a label would be very stigmatizing. It if came out, it could strongly affect the relationship to your neigbours, maybe your work and evening activities (especially if you are, say, a teacher or instructor in evening activities for kids), your spose, ...
If you go to amazon.com to order a new computer book, with your friend looking over your shoulder, and the first thing that comes up is Amazon's six proposals of the day, "These movies might be of interest to you...", in some societies you would try to get that off the screen as fast as possible, and it would certainly be too late.
So I am happy that I am not living in such a culture. Here, I can tell the story, with a laugh, and invite the listers home to watch the movie. Those interested in Hellenic history, or possibly in Italian art movies from the 1960, might accept the invitation, and we would probably have a nice evening together. Maybe enjoying a glass of Italian wine.

So I was wondering about Cosmos BD's Cassandra API and decided to check the Cassandra documentation as the Microsoft documentation is a bit sparse on Cassandra information.
Head over to the Cassandra website and find the documentation.
Getting started is all about installing and configuring, which I don't need as I'm using Cosmos DB.
So the next section is an overview of the architecture, sounds good!
Except that... Todo todo[^]
So maybe something about data modeling? Todo TODO[^]
And what the hell is this "Dynamo"? Todo todo Todo todo Todo todo[^]
Why do I have the Pink Panther theme stuck in my head?
