    It could become a new storage engine for MySql, so applications that benefit from a column store can use it instead of one of the other available storage engines.

    Color code? Then the red and the green mark could be accidentally put in the wrong place. And nobody would bother to look at the gears and see the misplaced gear, because the green marks indicate it is placed correctly.

  23. Sleep and addiction on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1

    Here is a snippet about sleep and addiction.
    Sleep and addiction

    The most important long-term problem is the effect that caffeine has on sleep.The half-life of caffeine in your body is about 6 hours. That means that if you consume a big cup of coffee with 200 mg of caffeine in it at 3:00 PM, by 9:00 PM about 100 mg of that caffeine is still in your system. You may be able to fall asleep, but your body probably will miss out on the benefits of deep sleep. That deficit adds up fast. The next day you feel worse, so you need caffeine as soon as you get out of bed. The cycle continues day after day. This is why 90% of Americans consume caffeine every day. Once you get in the cycle, you have to keep taking the drug. Even worse, if you try to stop taking caffeine, you get very tired and depressed and you get a terrible, splitting headache as blood vessels in the brain dilate. These negative effects force you to run back to caffeine even if you want to stop.

  24. Blue lighted toilet. on On NTSC Video, Blue Blurring, Chroma Subsampling · · Score: 1

    I once went to a public toilet in city, and noticed it was lighted with blue light.
