US-origin crayfish only look like shrimp-sized lobsters, they don't taste as good as either. They're more like if you boiled a lobster for too long and smeared it with river-bottom mud instead of butter. And at that size, the shells are a real pain.

As a vegan myself, I find it laughable that someone could somehow elude the notion that the vegan "lifestyle" is "restrictive and bland" until they fortuitously discover this GitHub repo, or a tool that uses it. People are aware. They seldom miss a chance to let me know.

I believe the saying goes "eat food, not too much, mostly plants".

Having been in a relationship with a wonderful German woman for a while now, I've found out that Germany has a very solid history of vegetarian cooking. Not necessarily for ethical reasons, but because of the periods in history where meat was too expensive or simply unavailable for most people. So they had to come up with a bunch of great (primarily) vegetarian dishes.

You'll probably never get me to give up my lemon chicken or shawarma completely, but you would have just as much trouble getting me to give up my portobellos or brussel sprouts.
Running a 400+ Node Elasticsearch Cluster
If you really wanted to, I imagine you could write a proprietary compiler that generated some serialisation of one of GCC's IRs (GENERIC or GIMPLE), and you could write a deserialiser for GCC that reads in that IR. Release the deserialiser under GPL, then you can legally use GCC as the backend for your proprietary compiler.

This sort of IPC-like hackery often seems to happen when someone is looking to work around copyleft - they can then break the spirit of the GPL without breaking the legal obligations.

I tend to believe this, too - and am amazed at how Minecraft knowledge spreads. I don't believe there is any documentation, it all seems to be peer-to-peer over the web.

I'd love to figure out how to generate the interest that drives the amount of time and effort kids spend reading and watching about playing the game, outside of actually playing the game.

> The overhead signs that report arrival time estimates and delays are not always visible from the turnstile.

I would say that visibility-from-the-turnstile is the exception rather than the rule. Sometimes it's not even obvious where one of the two (you're lucky if there are two) overhead signs are, and you just have to wander down the platform until you see it.

My favorite overhead sign position is either on the 81st or 86th stop on the BC line - it's the only one, and it's positioned right in front of the exit-only turnstile in the middle of the platform, and is completely invisible from the entrances.
Chances of adopting a universal timezone are pretty much nonexistent for political reasons, and the switch itself would probably be a bit of a logistical nightmare. However, claiming universal timezone in itself would be any difficult to use does seem a bit disingenuous.

Consider: in a world with timezones, all you need to know is what time’s in Melbourne right now, and what time Steve’s typically awake these days. In a world without timezones, all you need to know is what time Steve’s typically awake these days.

What about 0000 hitting in the middle of the day? Well, a bar I recently went to is open “Thu–Sat 8pm to 4am, Sun 8pm to 2am, Mon–Wed off”. In a world without timezones I don’t think anyone would be confused by a sign like “Sun–Fri 2300 to 0500” at a post office or barber shop.

We have tools to deal with timezones, so that complexity is pretty much hidden these days. That said, I can’t help but notice every now and then how leaky the abstraction is. Humans are not machines—more and more people work independently or on flexible office hours, many businesses are routinely open different times depending on the season even if the country uses DST, and so on.
Reason targets JS programmers. OCaml's toolchain is great honestly, it just seems like ~85% of Reason users are more focused on the JS parts of the language, so what happens is the new users from Reason don't really do much to contribute to the native toolchain (though any libraries they write can mostly be used with the native toolchain, which is really nice!). The other thing is, most of the compiler programmers came to OCaml because it was an ML, and I think for the most part this group will continue to use the ML syntax and self-selects for the group that prefers it. So in reality, it's a little bit crazy to expect the Reason users to be the ones rapidly changing the toolchain. That said, this will continue to bring more attention to OCaml and hopefully more funding that can help solidify things like multicore, modular implicits, and everything else making its way through the compiler development pipeline at 2mph.

I guess it depends when and where one studied.

Actually, I ran both through voiceover on the mac and they fared decently well.

The first example only had a slight issue that you couldn't get to any text to describe the images. Only because the alt tags are empty.

The second example, the bootstrap one, was ok as well. Except for the usual odd ul inside a nav example. Well, I find it odd. Voiceover sees that as a group nested inside a group. Just a nav with children works just fine. For instance, if I remove the ul and change the list items to divs then voiceover is much clearer of what's going on.

But the thing is, screen readers would love something like this. Simply because screenreaders love very basic and simple html. This thing generates very basic and simple html. Accessibility gets challenging when start considering a more modern single page app type of website.
Another nice thing about Grammarly is that the plugin just blindly detect contentEditable inputs and start screwing with their content. This very much breaks modern WYSIWYG web editors, which typically expect to have control over the editable content. Which more or less comes down to "move over page scripts, I'm a browser plugin, this is _my_ webpage now".
I don’t know when those halcyon days were (see: Dropbox), but I like the sentiment.

You likely prefer infix because it is familiar. It is amazing how much familiarity influences preference.

And yes, tooling can help. For either case. I'm leaning towards simpler tooling, which means me towards s-exps. Mainly because a lot of time has passed, and evidence is structured editing just doesn't take off in other languages. And I don't see requiring tooling as an improvement.

This whole thread should review Clarke's Three Laws[0]

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, they are almost certainly right. When they state that something is impossible, they are very probably wrong.

2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Harvard's endowment is over $37 billion. Is that enough to be self-sustaining?

What number is enough?
Of course, the trusted third party can also be decentralized and spread among multiple trusted parties (some of which could even turn out to be adversarial, as long as you use some Byzantine consensus algorithms). I think that weakens the case for full trustlessness further, since most real world applications require some level of trust anyway - but it would still not make you dependent on a single trusted entity.
All three are different laws, yes, but the latter two also make it clear that service providers are immune from liability for third party content in those contexts if they aren't actively participating in its selection or alteration, excepting justified deletions.

You said it's completely false that exercising control over content on one's network diminishes a provider's ability to claim safe harbor. I've given you two laws on the books in the US that say otherwise. What are you basing your claims on?

Variations of vegetarian? Vegetarianism seems to be solely about diet, whereas veganism is abstaining from animal products in general.
We need portable data for everyone and everything, but we also need to be careful to do it in a way that doesn't become oppressive and centralized or inflexible. So there should be some compatibility but not a single system or rating.
I'm always interested to see that almonds are acceptable to vegans. Perhaps people should look into commercial beekeeping and how most farmed almonds are pollinated. I'd say that a colony of bees is much more intelligent than a typical cow or chicken.

I'm not vegan btw, so perhaps I'm not entitled to an opinion on this - that said, I do keep bees.
One annoying thing you'll need to add before this is production-ready is configurable environment config, so that you can deploy the same container for your staging vs. production version of the app.

I use a `patch.sh` as the ENTRYPOINT, which says something like

echo $API_URL >> /usr/local/nginx/html/config.js
echo $OTHER_CONFIG > /usr/local/nginx/html/config.js
...
exec nginx

Though there may be other ways to achieve this as well.
Find somebody else that already has the possible use case for blockchain and sell the basic tech and support to ensure all their relevant operations systems interface with the blockchain. The same basic business model used by various companies that were building e-commerce platforms in the nineties and have been winning massive contracts using "cloud" in their presentation more than their competitors ever since, often without any server space or software IP of their own. Works better if there actually is a real sweet spot for those client(s) to share data with blockchains, but even using the word as a buzzword enough might seal the deal.

This model isn't as exciting as "disrupting X with blockchain" but it's certainly possible to build a profitable business with it.

Restrictive? It has to be, by definition.

Bland? Only if you define your meals primarily by the meat they contain, which is still very ingrained in the western approach to food.

So a lot of people think of vegetarian food as "leaving something out" or "taking something away", and imagine a steak dinner where you've simply removed the steak. That is obviously a bad approach.

Focus on what you can make instead.

Disclaimer: I like cooking and eating all kinds of tasty food, and I don't mind at all if it's vegetarian or vegan.

For me, the answer to this is that it stops being a bubble once I see a compelling (to me) analysis of the link between the price and some underlying utility. I've heard one compelling (to me) use case for bitcoin - removing big banks from large long-distance cash transfers - but I strongly doubt there is enough value in that to support the current price.

Another meta-metric I'm watching is for mainstream media and word of mouth to lose interest, ie. once this no longer comes up at all get-togethers with friends and family, it will seem a lot less bubbly to me.

While I'd argue that stopping to consume meat/dairy/eggs has more impact on animal lives and the planet than stopping almonds because bee are used in pollination, I'm still interested in how these bees a exploited/harmed.

It’s impossible for a task backlog to start forming. Every day is a clean slate. It also makes the end of the day a stronger finish line than if it only marked tasks overdue.
You somewhat skip my point. You agree that you know it was over by parsing the structure. Which you have to do in both cases. In one, though, the parser rules are more than, scan for last paren. Gets more complicated once you have stuff like the <* symbols resetting indentation and blank line rules. Or the $.

Not to say it can't be done. But I could easily argue the brain is bad at juggling rules. The more rules, the more likely mistakes. Since I am typically building rules in the logic, having extra rules in parsing seems to require more of where I will likely make mistakes.

To be clear, I am presenting my preference. I am not trying to claim superiority.
Additional trivia: "Coordinated Universal Time" is called UTC because the French wanted to call it TUC (Temps Universel Coordonné) and UTC is the compromise.

The difficulty would adjust down, but only when the next milestone is reached. The argument seems to be that if enough miners drop out, the next milestone might never be reached.

Ooh awesome that looks really good, I'll have to go through those.
The colors are a reconstruction. As far as I remember, no camera on Galileo had a set of color filters that would approximate human vision. They each had a set of selectable color filters on a wheel, which had very narrow spectral ranges, some even outside the human visual range. These filters were selected for scientific reasons (e.g. exploit spectral bands where certain materials have a particularly low or high reflectivity to help identify them). Any color images you see from this and similar missions are reconstructions: a full color image would need to be taken with the whole spectrum from about 400nm to 700nm, which is much wider than the color filers that are available. So what you see is based on some kind of reconstruction of the parts of the visual spectrum that is missing in the source data.

I do not know how far you can take the reconstruction in practice. If you know the source illumination (it's the sun - easy), identify all the materials that are in the images successfully (hard) and know their reflection spectra (possible), you can in theory create realistic color impressions.
Hence the pondering about the meaning of "mutant species".

Electronic voting is hard enough as it is, I sure hope people wait a long time before trying to use a fairly fragile system such as distributed ledgers for it. There are so many more subtle issues that could emerge and threaten the legitimacy of the election process (which is just as dangerous as actually manipulating the election).

Despite being so simple, the paper ballot is quite hard to improve upon without making mistakes. Moreover, a democracy should probably have the requirement that the voting process is transparent and understandable for all citizens.

The first attempts at electronic voting (if at all) should probably be made in countries like Estonia where all citizens have e-ID cards with cryptographic key pairs you can use for some oldschool cryptographic voting schemes.
Thoughts in no particular order...

- creates pressure to actually do the things on the list

- often things that end up on TODO lists shouldn't have been there. Natural pruning saves wasted time later

- add items to TODO lists is sometimes just a form of procrastinating - better just do the things than put them on a list. This is a nice middle ground for keeping track on a busy day

- long term goals aside, there's a lot of value in starting a day with "what do I want to get done today" and this would be a nice aide
Algolia doesn't even have to (intentionally) abuse their service. Request logs can be leaked through software bugs, malicious actors can gain access to their servers, etc.

Trying to find matches for URL hashes would be a much nicer approach, but you would need a database of hashed URLs for that, so it's not a trivial fix.
