What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Sleep is so you can move the transactions from RAM to long term storage.
And reindex, also to throw random shit together and see if any meaningful connections come of it - well that's my explanation of dreams anyway.
I think you might be onto something. There's been so many times where I've had a technical issue I can't resolve, and sleeping on it results in an answer in the morning. Or often even a Eureka moment in the middle of the night. I'm certain that sleep helps you dredge up missing connections between ideas.
I used to really feel this when. I was younger. Sometimes I would wake up and be able to do the thing I was trying to do yesterday but couldn't.
It does.
Thanks, very cool!
Well, damn, they stole my idea from 1975!!
Thanks for the link.
Regression testing
I always thought that too. Or maybe like cold storage as there is a thing about short term memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_memory and working memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_memory#Capacity. Seems like we have very littel ram but maybe that is cache. im not sure.
