> How many times a day / week / month do you launch your browser from scratch ?

Personally, around 5 times per day, every day. When I don't browse, I close the browser


Unless you are regularly using all your RAM, there is a very good chance the browser's files are going to stay in disk cache and be effectively instant to load. 100MB is an imperceptible load time difference on a modern system where memory speed is 50-100GB/s or more.


There's a popular saying about correlation and causation


Where did you get these facts? Some are extremely cherrypicked, and some are outright false.

> The Titanic was built for that purpose.

It was built to compete with Cunard's Lusitania/Mauretania. While immigrants did board it, elite travel was prioritized.

> The US middle class and upper middle class and the wealthy came from those poor people

False. Those in the top one percent of wealth holders, approximately 3% are European and Canadian immigrants [1].

> The uniforms of Civil War soldiers look teen sized. You can see them for yourself in the Gettysburg museum.

Exagarated at best. Many of those who fought in the war were as young ar 14 [2].

> In WW1 when the US Army arrived on the scene, the Germans were shocked at their height and high quality plentiful food, and then knew they had lost the war.

Do you have a verified source for this? In Erich Ludendorff's memoirs he attributes defeat to logistics / shortages, but does not note the physical stature of US soldiers.

Totally unrelated, but awesome username!


> If you let your kids run around in giant parking lots I would argue you are a bad parent.

> Ever heard of parks?

I remember being bored as hell when my parents used to take me to the city park. Many other kids thought the same, too. I couldn't wait to run around with my friends wherever else in the city afterwards. I'm thankful for my "bad parents" for letting me roam around anywhere I wanted, as was the norm back then for kids where I grew up in Europe


> You shouldn't be running in crowded areas like food courts (or indoor areas not specifically created for athletics)

I guess this is a cultural thing, i.e. what is expected of kids. Among my age-group in Eastern Europe (25-30 y/o), we joke around that our parents didn't let us stay in home, which has a lot of truth to it. Once we were out in the city, they didn't even have a idea where we went, and we didn't have mobile phones either. We used to run around everywhere without exception - malls, forests - you name it. That is still expected of kids nowadays, but the kids themselves are far more drawn to the digital world nowadays


And in Eastern Europe 25-30 years ago, other adults would have no problem yelling at you to behave in their own language/words.

Very much different than today where people mostly mind their own business and judge in silence.

I'm good with the former, it's inline with "It takes a village".


> And in Eastern Europe 25-30 years ago, other adults would have no problem yelling at you to behave in their own language/words.

Nobody yelled at us then or even thought that we were doing something wrong. If you would yell at a kid in a shopping mall for running around like crazy - people would look at your weirdly. It was expected of kids to behave this way in my culture, and still is to this day. This may not be the case elsewhere, hence why I think that there is a heavy cultural aspect.


You're right it is cultural, I was thinking more Slavic where bad behavior from other kids isn't tolerated by adults and they have no fear expressing it.


> what is meant or added with the comment

They just want to discuss their interpretation of the blog post. I don't think that there's anything wrong with that


> US government has lesser capability to compell otherwise independent developers to do their bidding.

Are you sure about this? The US, like most countries with extensive intelligence capabilities, does not have a good track record of convincing their citizens of doing shady things [1].

> At some point we needed a monitoring solution, and Zabbix didn’t fit well into the new and declarative world of containers and Docker.

I wonder why they think that is the case, as Zabbix has native support for monitoring VMs and Docker containers, including support for discovering newly spawned ones and all that jazz
