Just trying to understand. In the case of a Java app, would this replace tomcat or jersey or similar?

It’s extremely common for young kids to receive antibiotics. In some countries, antibiotics are over the counter and many parents will give their kids antibiotics for nearly any infection. Antibiotic misuse is rampant in some countries where they aren’t gated behind prescriptions.
Any such link with autism would therefore be an extremely rare side effect. The rate of antibiotic use in children is far higher than the rate of autism.
I don’t think this case supports the antibiotic theory by itself at all. I think it’s confirmation bias because antibiotics are one of the current trending theories among mainstream discussion.
«So John went back to the hospital and spent a month on powerful antibiotics pumped directly into a vein near his heart.»
This is not «extremely common».

Curious to hear the reasoning behind using the US flag for English, given there's a country called England.
And you would prefer the English flag then - not the flag of the UK?
I don't disagree with you. If the question was about design decisions I'd made, I'd be in full agreement. But the article quite literally says 'every time.' You could rightly say I'm being pedantic, but if you're going to write life advice, it should be quite specific IMO. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but rightly (also IMO) pointing out flaws with the wording and tone.
> Every time someone asks you a question, they are highlighting a gap in the documentation.
This is a sensible statement assuming that the question is about the domain or system you’re an expert in. Not “what time is it” or anything like that.
> Take the chance to write the answer down
Perhaps the author should have qualified this advise with “take the chance to consider”, but I think the advise stands well on its own and I understand to apply common sense to it.
Point 1 specifically says to write things down every time someone asks you a question. Taking DNS as an example, 1034 1035/4034 4035, among some others, I don't see how that's helpful even if I make a linking FAQ. My notes would say 'DNS question, read these 4 RFCs' over and over and over.
I think you’re interpreting the advice way too literally. The author probably didn’t mean for you to document the answer to every single question you get, but questions you get about the system or domain you’re working, and where the answer isn’t readily available anywhere else.

Isn't that really a pattern that the runtime adopts (i.e. not the language itself)? For ES, the libraries are dependent on the runtime environment; for browsers, there are the web APIs, and for Node, there's npm. I'm not sure how you could have anything more standard given the nature of things.
> for Node, there's npm
True, NodeJS runtime comes with its own «standard library» but npm has nothing to do with it.
Lentils, tofu, peanuts, and seitan are 25%, 20%, 28%, and 80% protein by weight. Meat is about 26%, according to WolframAlpha. Not that you actually need very many grams of protein each day to be healthy.
About 10% of calorie intake is the protein sweet spot. Incidentally about the average you would get from a divers whole foods plant based diet. Meat diets will struggle to get that low. In fact, the Norwegian government has stated that it would in fact recommend 10% because it would be the best nutritional advise, were it not for the fact that it would be hard to fit into the common meat based diets of Norwegians. I wish I could provide a source but have since been unable to locate the official document Were it was discussed.
I'm a vegetarian, I think this is true when comparing meat with whole plant foods. But to be fair the the GP comment, meat substitute products are almost certainly considerably less nutritious (micronutrient wise) than actual meat.
Exactly how certain is it?
The popular crusade against meat is one of the more misguided. Meat provides far more nutritional value than any plant and the environmental impacts have been greatly exaggerated. See below:
Regarding carbon: "removal of livestock in the US would only lead to a net GHG reduction of 2.6% in national emissions. Similarly, removing all dairy would lead to a reduction of just 0.7%. At the same time, both transitions would create domestic deficiencies in critically limiting nutrients [White & Hall 2017; Liebe et al. 2020], which is not unexpected given that Animal Sourced Foods are valuable sources of essential nutrition [see elsewhere].
and methane: "As argued above, this is not wishful thinking as there is still ample potential for mitigation of biogenic methane in global food systems. Moreover, the global cattle population has not been increasing during the last decade, making its contribution to global warming debatable [Shahbandeh 2020]. It is, however, true that methane has nonetheless been suddenly increasing since 2007. Yet, this can be ascribed to a multitude of potential reasons, incl. geological and fossil fuel emissions, wetlands, rice farming, and landfills [Gramling 2016; Nisbet et al. 2016; Alvarez et al. 2018; Rasmussen 2018; Etiope & Schwietzke 2019; Malik 2021], or a decrease in hydroxyl radical levels, the main sink for atmospheric methane [Turner et al. 2017]

Sorry stopped reading at “ Meat provides far more nutritional value than any plant”
Edit: Vote it down all you want. The statement isn’t getting any less idiotic

Interestingly, exact same phenomenon occurs in speech. What is the difference between the sounds /a/ and /o/? Turns out it’s timbre and that our vocal cavities changing form changes the timbre while the vocal chords produce the same fundamental frequency.
Further, by producing spectrograms, you can see the dominant harmonics of vowels, they are called formants, and you can learn to differentiate vowels based on comparing spectrograms without hearing the sounds. It’s pretty cool.
