We could test that assumption by synthesizing biological molecules with a different chirality, and dumping them into a soup of "normal" life, and see how much of it remains.
>I don't buy a lifestyle from them, I buy fucking good milk from animals that are loved like family, and I'm proud to be helping them make a living doing something that is good for everyone(including the cows). It's not a lifestyle, it's just supporting people who aren't shitting on everyone's future.

The things you say here seem like you are ABSOLUTELY buying a lifestyle here. ie. values for how animals should be treated, values for supporting families and values for "not shitting on everyones future" are very much lifestyle choices imo.
For each integer n >= 3, we can create a perfect n-sided polygon in two dimensions. That polygon will have some nonzero spacing between the points, roughly a distance like 2pi/n.

Okay, now that is true for every n >= 3. This means that there are an infinite number of n for which it is true, i.e. an infinite number of polygons. However, each particular polygon has a nonzero length between points. However again, by picking n as large as you want, you can find polygons where this length is as small as you want, as long as it's strictly greater than 0. None of them are zero.

I imagine it's because there are tax advantages but anecdotally in the Silicon Valley suburbs (Los Altos Hills/Portola Valley/Atherton) there are a high number of one to three acre farms and vineyards.
Lifestyle is your interests, opinions, and behaviour.

Words you are using: proud , helping, doing good, supporting. These are all values that form the basis for your lifestyle.

This is not a substantive statement.
My objection is just that: genetic drift != speciation. They are still completely interfertile with Europeans after 1000 generstions! Yet here we have a breathless article reporting noting more than an existing male from a "separate species", which is in fact interfertile and had viable offspring, as being proof of "evolution"!

We don't know how speciation happens, and many people including scientists use a lot of unscientific "just so" stories.

To claim we know that every instance of speciation happens through 1. random mutation and 2. "natural selection", a catch-all term which is not well-defined and signifies very little, is not very scientific. But worse than that, it is then conflated with the theory of common descent, and the emergent sociological result is that many scientists and non-scientists constantly co-opt the word "evolution" to say "evolution is true and creationism is therefore false" or whatever. There have been different theories such as punctuated equilibria but we don't actually KNOW how speciation happens. It's all posturing and catch-all terms.
That’s very surprising. Did you specify -march? If the compilers have to support ALL x64 then they can’t use it, since it’s a 2004-ish addition.

Maybe the title should be "The Western Elite from a Chinese Elite Perspective". Surely sending kids to school to UK as plan B is not in the average Chinese family's abilities. Doesn't mean we should discount the article or its ideas but it's useful to keep the author's background in mind.

People have been doing this for at least a decade and a half. There's one particularly notorious one that always used to refuse to tell you how you got on their blacklist, and refused to remove you from their list without you paying them money. They used to be popular enough that being on their list was a pain in the neck.

It's extortion, plain and simple.
If you look back, many successful SV types become part time or full time farmers, starting with perhaps David Packard. Seems like that connection with the land is ingrained in us somewhere no matter who you are.
there was a time when birds and bats were hard to distinguish in the sense that both their ancestors were first one, then very closely related, and now very distinct and separate. And it's hard to tell where to draw the line in this process of separation.
You say you don't buy for lifestyle reasons but then go on to describe lifestyle reasons for your purchase:

"animals that are loved like family"

"helping [small farmers] make a living doing something that is good for everyone"

"supporting people who aren't shitting on everyone's future."

These are all lifestyle choices. You make your purchase not just because of the product but because of your identity, feelings, and values. If there were an identical product produced by a big company using factory farming methods it would be less appealing to you. That's not a bad thing and I don't make a judgment about it, everyone has lifestyle reasons for some of their purchases, it's just a fact.

Just like how probably half (or more) of the beer I consume is from the brewery down the street. If they are releasing a new beer I'm going to be there, either on release day or the day after if I'm busy. This is not only because the beer is good, the prices are on par with similar beers, and the location convenient but:

-I like supporting local independently owned business. I believe that to be virtuous in and of itself.

-The owners and staff are really nice and they all know me by name.

-The owners and brewer take time to come up front and say hi and chat when they see me. We talk about what's new in life.

-Their presence helps keep my property value high and my neighborhood characteristic.

My purchase makes me feel good and feel like I'm helping a friend out rather than just consuming a product I enjoy.

If those lifestyle factors weren't there I'd probably vary my purchases more and buy their beer only a couple times a year.

Goose can be! Especially Hungarian goose. It is a tough call though. There is also squab, but that is so different in flavor and preparation that it's really a bad comparison.
Cows as a species are probably as safe as humans. Plenty other cases to worry about, assuming it’s feasible to fight extinction on a per-species basis.
I don't see how it's controversial to say that we should strive for a world and economy where people can easily afford healthy food for themselves. I already suggested that the best route is probably to avoid cows altogether for this, and I didn't say anything about pounds of meat.
Please don't use allcaps for emphasis: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
My point is not out of date.

You can use techniques like type erasure to reduce bloat, and compilers and linkers do combine identical code sequences in many cases, but the point remains that templates work by replicating code for each instantiation. If you blindly trust the toolchain to clean up for you (as your first link suggests), you're going to run into problems. Size problems are insidious because they don't show up until they're hard to fix.

I'm not suggesting that you never use templates, but I am insisting that you understand what they do instead of trusting the compiler to sweep everything under the rug.

As someone who grew up on a farm: yes, there is a real difference in taste between fresh milk and processed milk.

IIRC My dad told me it was more about the homogenization part than a the pasteurization part (which is good because it means you can get milk that tastes well totally without risk.)

That said: I'd drink fresh unprocessed milk again without hesitation as long as I know the farmer.

I can't provide a counterpoint for why you might consider a proprietary NAS, but I can tell you that I'm 90% sold on FreeNAS. I've built two servers running them from commodity hardware and never once had a problem with it.

I use rsync to backup to my older NAS no functioning specifically for that purpose. It's a ReadyNAS x86. I moved away from that because I wanted more functionality and redundancy.

I've had 2 drive failures on 5-disk setup. Live rebuild in degraded status worked as well as it should have. I also use the SSD caching feature which sped things up a bit for frequently used files.

My only qualm about the product is that whole versioning fiasco. I actually almost got bit by it while building a server for my parents, but the install wouldn't take so we used the older version. But by the grace of luck we didn't use the bad version.

I use separate hardware for my service host which talks over NAS. I just use the FreeNAS boxen for storage. Learned that lesson!

I agree with your statement, but if you turn around that logic, it is meaningless. Will you read about a blue collar worker's view on Chinese society? Probably not, since they are unlikely to have experienced it. Only Western elites will have been likely to experience Chinese society. Obviously someone who will be published in a magazine is elite. I am willing to wager than all the other writers are 'elites' in some way. As societies, we don't really want to read about some Cantonese kid working after school at his parents restaurant for 6 hours a day. We want to see success! That is why we tunnel so heavily on Cambridge, Stanford, and Goldman Sachs. Do you really think he would have been given a voice on this magazine if he was not affiliated with those institutions?
That's a lifestyle.

I've been using Typora to make my todo lists recently. It's a markdown editor. Super simple to type, and you can really got some professional looking layout, with headings and titles quickly too. Recently they built in a file browser. Open one file in a directory, and it will show you all the files in side panel. Which in my case are just todo lists for day of the week. But it could be any type of notes. Highly recommend it. For Example typing ###Title would give a large title typing - [ ] will give you a checkbox, and so on.﻿
It's so bad that I literally no longer take calls on my cell phone. Silent mode forever.

I started with making todo lists. It was easy to mark each row as TODO or DONE. I was able to indent underneath each todo to make sub tasks, and fold each section up and move it around easily. Then I found a way to add due dates to each item, and then view them all in a calendar view. I also found that I could add tags to each item, and then filter by tags. So if I had a question for my coworker I would tag that todo under his name and I could retrieve that later.

Between tags and dates, you can stop worrying about the order of your todo list items and just throw new ones in there, and still easily find them because they're now structured by date and tag. You can also export your calendar and do other exports as well.

I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of what org mode is capable of, but that's how I was able to dip my toe into it and pick up new functionality over time.

If any org-mode wizards want to point out some other big use-cases that I've missed then I'd love to hear about that. I think some people even outline and publish books using org-mode so it's quite a deep system!

Edit: I should also add that I came over from tmux+vim by using spacemacs, which is a vim-mode oriented distribution of emacs which comes with its own opinionated set of plugins and "layers" that you can easily add. It's worth a look if you're emacs-curious
By the way, because it's helpful to have a name if you want to do a literature dive, the optimisation problem this is solving is called the Thomson problem. It was originally formulated in the context of the lowest energy configuration of electrons restricted to a sphere under electrostatic repulsion.

There's at least a third explanation as well, which is the fact that eggs from farmer Tom down the road are likely to taste 1000x better than the egg-inspired food product in a McGriddle.

I can't imagine many people are thinking "Screw local farmers, I want Tyson Chicken Nuggets!". That might be a bad example but the point is that cost is probably the bigger factor here, not politics or lifestyle or even taste.
Partially agree.

2 things though:

- taste. The difference is real

- and while I think this is a lifestyle thing I'd say that word has different connotations

That change would be a good start. I enjoyed the article very much, but not at all because I thought it gave a balanced "Chinese perspective" on the Western elite. It read it as a story about a smart Chinese guy who was very focused on success in a narrow career track offering reflections about his awareness of limited experience. The part about the heart rate monitoring of his feelings serves as a good example... this is not a "Chinese" thing to do or even an elite Chinese thing. This guy is different ️.

Fair enough

Another thing I was going to point out is that farms smaller than 10 acres are actually the norm in many parts of the world. High intensity plots using walk-behind tractors and hand labour are common in Asia and in some parts of Europe. Much of Europe's vegetable production happens on 2-3 hectare properties.

So I'm just objecting to you characterizing these small operations as "not farms" -- IMHO they're farms. But they don't conform to the typical NA cash crop / livestock farm that's common here.
Two things - a.) the scientific hypothesis that heart rate is elevated via uncontrolled nervous system response in the human body is well accepted versus most economic hypothesis appearing to be post hoc explanations rather than theories that can actually predict the future as he clearly writes the second thing out when critiquing some things his professors said b.) the over stated diagnosis - maybe he's slightly psychopathic or so unfamiliar with Western centric interpersonal culture it doesn't affect him. :)

I think he means that he is buying "the cow's lifestyle", instead of his.

I applaud the sentiment, but do small farm cows, loved like they are part of the family actually do less damage to the environment? Is factory farming doing something that makes factory cows produce more methane?

I also disagree he is not buying a lifestyle for himself. Non pasteurized milk is ABSOLUTELY better tasting. So he is purchasing a luxury item, which is the definition of lifestyle buying. It may be ethical, and but its still tasty.
