Hasn't the last 50 years of attempting these shown that they're uneconomic in the extreme, and probably will continue to be even if China puts its admittedly heavily state-subsidized rail-building prowess behind it?
Did it say they cut the meat options?

It seems they simply increased the number of vegie options from the cursory single 'meatloaf', and that did the trick.

I've recently become "much more vegie", and honestly I look forward to many of the vegie meals more than those with meat. I think meat should be reserved for meals where it can really shine; steak, ribs, bacon, etc.

Pies, curries, soups, casseroles, etc can often do without meat entirely, or with much less, or just with added meat stock.

I think this is the first step to the future of food.

Yes, the analogy is valid. Hence why fingerprints are "good"/"very good" at making sure the person presenting the fingerprint is who they claim they are, but for other purposes, not so much.

Keep the majority of the rendering server side and it isn't a problem at all. Jquery for some UI enhancement.
Agreed, this is a great resource, and the more of those "no data" end points that are filled in, the better.

Would be great to drill down and specifically see who gets paid what, for doing which jobs, how much money is going to which initiative, etc.

Would probably quite the undertaking, with the amount of beuraucracy in the British government.
Semiweekly is explicit. Biweekly is ambiguous.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/on-biweekly-an...

Biweekly and bimonthly can mean the same thing because of the prefix bi-, which here can mean “occurring every two” or “occurring twice in.”
> No Conservative government has served an entire term with an outright majority since Thatcher in the 1980s

I don't understand what you're saying about John Major.

Here's the 1992 election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_United_Kingdom_general_el...

336 seats, out of 651, with 326 needed for a majority.

Current conservatives have 288 seats out of 650.
> not to share all of my contacts with google

You can do this even using the Google Contacts app. Just go into the account settings and turn off contacts sync. To be extra sure, just use a different contacts app.

> not have my privacy completely invaded.

Android has strictly less privacy invasion than iOS, even on Google phones. You can set an offline maps app to be your default. Getting your GPS location doesn't have to send it to Google, while doing the same thing on iOS always sends it to Apple, no matter which app asked. You can install your own apps usably without telling Google who you are.
That doesn't add up. I've been using PG for over 15 years and it was around before that.

I 100% agree. Haskell is a very sad story in that regard: the language brings tons of cool features to the table only to turn away most of its potential customers because of how ugly and weird it looks.

Interesting, this could allow purely in memory or columnar tables. A combination of postgres JSON features with an in memory or columnar table would be a great alternative to some nosql use cases.

I've always loved the lifestreams metaphor, mental model.

I spoke to Gelernter at a conference, ages ago. His wares were being compared to JavaSpaces. IIRC, maybe because he had done some work on Linda, or his lifestreams was implemented using same, or something like that. No one really grokked what lifestreams was about or how you'd use it. (Jini and JXTA suffered similar befuddlement.)

Any way, I over enthusiastically encouraged him to repurpose lifestreams into a PIM (personal information manager, shows how old I am) unifying all one's communication and activities. To Gelernter's credit, he listened seriously and pondered.

I'm still waiting. :)

There's a classic Amelia Bedelia story about how she's instructed to "dust" a room and sprinkles dust over everything.

It’s like any other modern movement, really. In the West, Christianity defined every aspect of life for over a thousand years. That has slowly eroded away over the last few centuries.

In the contemporary absence of a cohesive worldview, people look toward communities and philosophies like veganism, atheism, political affiliations, and so on for a sense of identity.

> Therapy examines your past and helps you diagnose your problems, she told me. Coaching focuses on the present and future — and helps you get from where you are to where you want to be.

And this is where I stopped taking it seriously. Modern therapy hardly examines your past. A good therapist these days will quickly find the actual problem you're having (which is generally not the problem you think you're having) and then steer you towards cognitive behavioural therapy(CBT) which is all about the present and the future.

This article smells like new age woo trying to present itself as better than actual therapy, with it meanwhile being strictly less effective.

Please, if you feel like therapy could help you (and basically anyone would be helped by therapy) don't fall for this sort of nonsense, but find an actual good therapist.

Mass market internet capable consumer devices, with significant compute hardware used to run a wide range of software. That’s a rather narrow list of device categories.

Malware for one thing. But, also things like driver compatibility, it’s simpler to develop software for well defined ecosystems which consoles provide. Many non exclusive ports don’t happen because it’s surprisingly expensive to port triple A games the PC.

If you want to nitpick that then fine, Red Dead Redemption is on PS4 and XBox box, but never made the PC jump. Porting AAA games to PC is surprisingly expensive, even if getting it to almost work is cheap.

An advantage of REINDEX CONCURRENTLY is that it becomes much easier to handle dependencies of a rebuilt index with constraints, as what the feature roughly does it to add a swapping phase between the creation and the drop portions which switches the dependencies from the old index to the new fresh one. Table-level reindex also makes life easier.

The feature is equivalent to external tools like pg_repack (formerly pg_reorg) in more performant, and has a couple of limitations to be aware of:

I'm definitely part of this trend.

My favorite carhop burger joint (Hire's Big H, SLC) makes their own veggie patty that to me is their best thing on their menu. It's really crafted to be a flavorful/textural experience without being "fake meat". I'm not even vegetarian and it's been my go to there for a while now.

What people choose to identify with/as is pretty fundamental psychology and it's fascinating.

He does it, in part, with his diet.

Well throw out the entire meat/non-meat idea. And instead replace meat with expensive dish and non-meat with inexpensive dish. They went from offering 1 inexpensive dish to 4 inexpensive dishes. Its really not surprising when you quadruple the number of inexpensive dishes you will see an increase in the number of inexpensive dishes sold.

Now if the meat dishes were the same price as non-meat dishes you would probably still see a small spike in sale of non-meat dishes when you quadruple the number of options, but the price is to big of a variable to ignore, especially with University students.

I'm kind of a food snob. I don't eat burgers. They're horrible. I don't eat hotdogs. They're horrible.

Reading this article tempts me to want to say "Newsflash: Tasty food sells!" but I'm sure that would be flagged to death as low content snark. Also, it's possibly stupid saying anything at all because people who eat stuff like burgers and hot dogs will get all mad when you give your honest opinion that it isn't exactly gourmet health food.

I often go with, say, French fries and apple pie because it's the least worst option on a burger-based menu. When they offer chicken as an alternative to burgers, it's typically also deep fried etc. It's only very recently that some burger joints genuinely offer tasty, healthy alternatives to their bland and unhealthy ground beef patty on nasty circular white bread staple food item.

People shouldn't downvote you: the sarcasm bit is funny, and it does actually point out to one of the major reason Haskell is not gaining more acceptance in spite of its many great features:

. the syntax is completely alien (to the point of turning quasi APL-ish in some cases) and scares away potential users.

. the community is so focused on esoteric stuff that the "how do I do X that's super easy to do in traditional languages" is completely missing from the conversation.

yep, I mean technically you could directly write the UI directly to IP packets and cut out the whole stack, but it's a step in the wrong direction, abstraction allows people to specialize and focus on their domain.

For a non technical example we could communicate via math for all human interaction, it would be more efficient, and truthful, it would also limit though and transfer of knowledge as it puts difficult constraints on expression.

Stacks are good, the web got screwed up by SUN, IBM, and Oracle's insistent vision of a thin client world, that needed lots of servers.
I'm a meat eater myself but have I have 4 vegan family members.

Pretty people has labeled all masculine traits as toxic, maybe not the same individuals but as a group they have. That is the problem with ill defined concepts, "toxic masculinity" is not a scientific term since people can interpret whatever they want as toxic.

A men's rights advocate could say that chivalry and self sacrifice is toxic masculinity since it puts a lot of unfair pressure on men.

A female feminist could say that locker room talk and objectification of women in games is toxic masculinity since it is hostile to women.

A male feminist could say that boys rough play is toxic masculinity since it hurts or leaves out those who want to do calmer things.

A pacifist could say that action games and contact sports are toxic masculinity since they promote violence.

A body image advocate could argue that huge muscles, strength and body building is toxic masculinity since it hurts the self esteem of overweight or scrawny men.

Divorced fathers could argue that traditional fatherhood as a money provider who aren't allowed to complain is toxic masculinity.

Extroverted people could argue that the male geek culture which avoid social contact toxic masculinity since they ruin the social atmosphere.

Introverted people could argue that male initiative taking for relationships is toxic masculinity since it bothers a lot of people who aren't interested.

Politicians could argue that male intellectual stubbornness and bias for action is toxic masculinity since it leads to shootings and terrorism.

So let me ask you, what part of masculinity can't be labeled toxic? I have seen all of the examples above in the wild. What are the examples of positive masculinity? Everyone has their own version of that as well. For example, many feminists thinks that positive masculinity is men helping women. But it is not healthy for men to be pressured to help women, so that masculine image is not very positive for men. Also I am pretty sure that there you can find people who would label any one of the above as positive masculinity. In other words, the term is meaningless as it is formulated today.
