If the choice is between inventing food picky people are willing to eat, and making people less picky, inventing food seems far easier. (See also: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/10/society-is-fixed-biolo...)
You might be surprised. For reasons I can't begin to fathom, a coffee shop near me used to have its wifi router set up to only permit connections to external sites over IPv6. I was legitimately surprised at how many sites I couldn't access from there, including sites from Fortune 50 companies and big tech firms, who you'd expect to be among those who'd be on top of this sort of thing.

Yeah, but that's a really challenging line to draw diachronically.

For example, clip = to fasten originates from Old English `clyppan` (to embrace/clasp/surround), while clip = to cut originates somewhere Scandanavian, as in Old Norse' `klippa` (to clip/shear). Are those still homographs? I think a fair number of the list items are the result of convergent evolution.

POV: Omnivore with a (previously) vegetarian spouse. We generally ate veg @ home

One of my biggest issues with modern veg diets is all of the veg food trying to masquerade as other food. Soy bacon does not taste like, or taste as good as, real bacon. Tofu and Boca burgers do not taste like actual meat. But tofu and the like can taste amazing on its own merit. It's an ingredient with it's own flavors and textures, so put it where it can do some good.

And don't get me started on veg patties. I have a (very) meat loving father who got completely hooked on Boca burgers while on Weight Watchers. He'll still eat them on a regular basis, even though he looooves regular burgers, just because they're delicious.

In my mind, you don't have to try to pretend to be something else to be good, especially veg sandwich patties. Latkes are amazing. Refried beans bound together with eggs, breaded and deep fried sounds amazing. Don't put yourself next to something else and force a comparison. Just be tasty.

I remember trying to explain this to a friend once, but was having a 'senior moment' and couldn't remember the word 'figuratively' to explain what 'literally' should have been in the context. Now it is used as an intensifier, but it seems to be 'sarcastic' when used in that way... there's some understanding that exaggeration is being used, and that the use of the word 'literal' isn't entirely correct.

There's some truth to that, but it depends.

Properly prepared meat/fish often has great own taste. It depends on (the part of) the animal, of course. You need the right amount of oil (or natural fat) and salt to bring out the flavor. Unfortunately, lots of people prefer boneless, skinless and fat-trimmed meat/fish.

Well, it's supposed to be fast because it's supposed to be done by a small team, of fie or six engineers. If you got fifteen people taking turns it doesn't really work. Even worse when the whole point is for middle management to check your progress, rather than an engineer-only meeting where you can discuss actual technical issues you're having so the more senior members can give you a pointer etc.
Well I think it's obvious why he cares... his children are trying to reach him. As for guaranteeing a specific number of children, no I don't believe they would be able to do that. However, I think the problem is not that they can not guarantee a specific number of children. The problem is that they guaranteed a specific number of woman who would be impregnated with his sperm but have gone well beyond the number they gave him.

I wouldn't. Why would you want to take errors that happen at compile time and create runtime errors? In dynamic languages you still have type invariants, it's just now they are invisible and can break your code at runtime.

Any loan that carries interest in its terms is, by definition, predatory.
I find they don't help with maintainability in most my business applications because they're solving the wrong problem. It's sort of like when someone spends a lot of time carefully optimizing a piece of code that doesn't have anything to do with the application's actual performance bottlenecks, just because that's the part that's more fun to optimize.

The part of the business applications I work on that's a problem is dealing with the outside world. The data is messy. It's inconsistent. The protocols I'm using to communicate are invariably something horrendously loosey-goosey like JSON or XML. Stuff like that. And so, an inordinate amount of time I spend doing business applications in static languages ends up being spent on taking the messy, messy outside world and trying to create a clean, well-typed, rigorous façade for it so that I can operate on it inside my blissfully statically typed fantasy world. And all that static typing never seems to save me in practice, because the software quality problems I run into almost never crop up in the bits that I can operate on in a Haskell-friendly way. It's invariably in some mismatch between the outside world and my domain model that I failed to deal with accurately, which means that it's in my mapping code. Worse, oftentimes it's because of my mapping code, because my statically typed domain model ends up accidentally placing requirements on the input that aren't strictly needed by the business logic; I just unwittingly introduced them in the course of my efforts to get the types to line up.

Totally. To put it in programmer terms a credit card is really just a queue that has a penalty for keeping items in the queue too long. You can pay it off as often as you want. The size of the queue in that case isn’t as important. But once you have a larger queue, you have more time/convenience to pay it down.

> And we don't want to give loans to poor people because that's clearly predatory lending.

Loans are not inherently predatory. Giving loans without interest is a noble thing to do. Of course, many people don't like that, and want to take advantage of the poor, which makes loans with interest predatory.

The point is that there's a huge difference between the statements:

This extends to individual meals too. Lots of meat eaters feel some desire to be vegetarian, but have a particular dish or two they “can’t live without.” The environmental and health impacts of even avoiding meat in 50% of meals would be enormous.

Breach of contract on location and number increases the possibility of accidental inbreeding for his children and those children concieved with his sperm without his knowledge. Very possible if those children go to the same school etc.
It's not hyperbole. When you say something was "so funny I died", that's exactly what 'figurative' means. I don't object to the use of the facetious/sarcastic/exaggerating use of 'literally', but when used in that way, people are literally (sorry!) being figurative. I think the problem arises when something in speech starts out being sarcastic or out of proportion consciously, but gets used so much that people forget this and start changing the actual meaning of the words being used. I think it often comes about because terms and phrases get re-used by people who don't actually understand them... like a small child repeating a pun or quip they've heard an adult use, but don't really understand, and then they grow up using some part of speech incorrectly.
I think the same person who writes unreadable code in Haskell would write unreadable code in most any other adult language.
I rode it ten years ago and it felt safe, I would be interested to know how safety would be for a 1000 mile trip where every inch of track couldn’t be controlled. An animal on the track, sabotage, ice, snow — there are a lot of factors that become very hard to control at those speeds and distances.
The way I see it is that free software is not designed to have these kinds of processes that makes commercial grade software good and widespread.

Of course, UI/UX is hard problem so does writing hardware drivers or optimise kernel code. Even if you use a command line tool, like GIT it has a good UX to it.

git: 'deff' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
diff

I really like this and it shows that free software developers care about UX as long as it's in their domain and expertise they can execute.

> I don't need a GUI for diff and patch. Some people prefer one, and that's fine.

You have a good attitude toward this, but then there's people like RMS who flat out wants to ban JavaScript in the browser because "proprietary software". That's not how you succeed with a mission like this. (but I also don't think the state of open source software is too bad either)

> most UX folks I meet are cripplingly dependent on a single technology stack

Then don't ask them to implement the UI part. It's also fine to ask for a prototype in JS/CSS that you can reimplement with the best tools you see fit.

> minimalist X with a minimal window manager without widgets or gadgets or whatever they call all those extra doodads these days good enough?

A good minimalist design is really hard to pull off, so it's good enough, but as hard as making something really shiny.

Tradeoffs are really there so aligning them with your goals is essential.

Maybe I'm wrong... I'm a vim old timer, and have been using it for years, but I really love the plugin community in Vim, and it has gotten better and better in the last several years.

Things like 'vim-tmux-navigator' saves me several keystrokes and makes vim splits work along side tmux panes. Tim Pope's 'vim-fugitive' really helps understanding the context of the changes in a git repo, or even navigate the history of changes in a particular file. Tim Pope's vim-sleuth automatically matches the formatting of a file you open.

Some modern plugins that attach languageserver features, like Coc.vim, or Ale, are really great for code completion, intellisense, automatic formatting, and linting.

Obviously vanilla vim is powerful enough to do most anything, but, it's really fun to tailor a vim environment.
The tool doesn't understand all lockless techniques, so there will be some false positives. For example, there are some cases where people have used the low-level primitives barrier() and cmpxchg(), which this tool (not possessing human-level intelligence) can analyze.

Also, not all data races can be exploited into serious bugs (in some cases, some stats might just be incorrect, for example).

That doesn't make the tool useless, of course! Just that one should take the numbers with a grain of salt.
It doesn't need to be unsafe or unoptimal, just use indices into flat memory instead of pointers.

Veggie “meat equivalent” foods weren’t created to feed people too picky for tofu or chickpeas.

They’re there because, pretty often, someone first decides to cook a traditionally meat-containing dish, and buys all the ingredients for it; and only then finds out (or only then considers) that some of the people they’re feeding are vegetarians; and so, to save the dish they’ve already planned, buying some veggie pseudo-meats to put in some of the food in place of the meat they were going to use, is the simplest way to ensure everyone can eat “the dish.” (Even though, if the dish is just meant to highlight or accent the flavour and texture of a meat, then what they’ve made the vegetarians is in essence an entirely different dish. The packaging on the meat-substitutes promises that it will try as hard as possible to not take your meat dish and turn it into a different dish, and many cooks believe them.)

> I do not understand how apple users put up with this.

The argument I typically see goes something like:

"I don't want to have to worry about whether I should trust an app or not, so I prefer everything be vetted by Apple. If we allow users to install their own software, then bypassing the app store will become commonplace."

I personally disagree with this notion. In fact, I wouldn't mind a law that says "if a device has an app store, then it must be able to load applications outside of the store".

I think the fears of everybody sideloading malware apps are a little overblown. Many Android phones can have apps sideloaded (and are even rootable), but how many people actually do it?

How did we go from Microsoft getting sued over internet explorer to the situation we're currently in?
I dont understand why he cares?

Two of the children contacted him first. That might have been just them innocuously looking for their biological parent, or it might have been a demand for parental support. If it's the latter then having 17 or more children potentially making a demand on him would make a big difference to his life.

Also how could a clinic guarantee a specific number?

They could count the number of successful children born with sperm from a donor and stop using that donation once there are 5 children.
