I'm going to disagree with you on that first sentence.

It's likely that cats can sense your superior attitude toward them. As a result, they avoid bond-forming behaviors that require trust and vulnerability and mutual respect. Which in turn has reinforced your false idea that all cats are indifferent.

I've been very close with two cats. They followed me around everywhere in our house wherever I went, sat next to/on me at every opportunity, cuddled with me in bed every night, scratched furniture if I ignored them, waited for me at the door, called out when I wasn't home by a usual hour, and became visibly depressed (eating less, losing interest in play) when I would away on holiday for more than a day.

I would not stay away from someone because he was bullied or poor growing up. I find it wrong that someone would choose to further ostracise or marginalise or push away such person. You was bullied therefore I stay away? Wtf.

If such person would harming me or my kids, I would stay away. But not just because their life was tougher then mine.

In calculus f(x) = x/x - 1 is not continuous at 1 based on the initial definitions. Moving to fixed-point arithmetic the idea of limits gets odd, but the function still needs a definition for that input.
TI-83 Plus OS Signing Key Cracked (2009)
I guess the Unicode output is nice but I feel like my biggest issue is one with input. One thing that is annoying is you get half way through your line and realise you need an opening paren several terms ago. It can take a load of time to find the place to put it and a load of effort to make sure things are correctly balanced. I feel like the operator I wish I had is something like “extend the left operand leftwards” e.g. go from this (with cursor represented by a bar):

a + b * x + c /|
to this:
a + (b * x + c) /|
And apply again to get this:
(a + b * x + c) /|

It (e.g.) let’s you write fractions without needing to use loads of parens (which have a cost as they must be balanced) or needing to think about whether the numerator will have more than one term.

I guess with rich input I’d also want to see the output in “big” mode.

Another way to try to make input easier is to use rpn. This has advantages and disadvantages.

Currently the calculator I most use is gnu Calc (I also use R occasionally for calculating quantiles). GNU Calc is the calculator built into emacs. It has an rpn interface and an algebraic one. A nice feature of the algebraic interface is that you can use $ to mean “the top entry on the stack” and so you can incrementally build up an equation. A second feature is selections. Their internal implementation is weird (based on hidden “functions” and rewrite rules) but they work fantastically well for modifying and manipulating the inside of a formula or equation. It also has a “big” display format which looks a bit like this one except that it predates Unicode symbols being common and so is pure ascii. (It also has tex output and emacs has image support but no one has put the two together yet)

Mainly I use Calc because I’m in emacs anyway and it has a ton of features that are easy to access (eg arbitrary precision floats, bignums, modular arithmetic support, complex numbers, interval arithmetic, vectors, matrices, algebra, curve plotting/fitting, unit conversions, ...). I feel like the variable support isn’t great. I feel like I want to eg have some set of variables, defined to be various input numbers, and write formulae in terms of them and then get the formula on the left without variables substituted and it’s numeric evaluation (with them substituted) on the right. There’s something weakly like this using => but it doesn’t compose well. If you add a => 1 to b => 3, you don’t get a + b => 4, you get (a => 1) + (b => 3). (I think. My memory is a bit rusty for the last example).

"The medium is the message" is one of my favourite cliches. It always punctuates the same recurring insight.

Socrates' had famous thoughts on the importance of medium choices in his day: reading, writing and libraries or people in gardens trading questions and answers and using memory.

The choice of medium isn't neutral. Imagine 5 people in a garden talking about their feelings, political views, or whatever. Alternatively, imagine them writing essays, making youtube videos or discussing on a HN thread or creating a wiki... same topic, same people.

The content would be totally different. The thoughts that people shared (or even had) would be different. The perspectives, emphasis and everything else about the content would be different.

The internet is like a queen-medium. It spawns an endless brood of different mediums, digital and otherwise. Twitter, Tinder, Meetup, Youtube... and thousands of smaller ones. Not one of them is a good "replacement" for another type of medium, but they do replace them.

I agree with the jist of this article, I think.

Where internet "mediums" replace important personal ones, we're at risk of replacing "home-cooking" with "junk food," and the results will be the same.

Of course I understand the propensity for corporations to lie about their products. But words are supposed to mean things. You shouldn't be able to just make shit mean whatever you want it to mean.

The propensity to lie in marketing is why there are rules against such behaviour in many jurisdictions. For example, in the US the term "ice cream" is reserved for frozen dairy desserts with a minimum fat content of 10%. Any less and you can't use the word "ice cream".

Similarly, in the EU one would have to call the abomination you call "oat milk", oat drink or something similar, since "milk" is a protected denomination reserved only for mammary secretions.

Is that a lot? I can't imagine a better use for power than sustaining the basic necessity of life.
Problem is that states usually have constitutional safeguards that keep a safe balance of power between citizen and state.

Not so with these companies. Step out of line and they can unperson you like that, and you can't vote on their leadership. And increasingly entire livelihoods and social existences are tied into them.

This is why you're seeing states start to get so aggressive with them. The EU fining billions out of them on an ongoing basis. Dragging them before Congress. Etc.

They're not only starting to rival them in power, they're starting to flex power over them -- playing a kingmaker role as they form the platforms on which elections are being won and lost.

If the tech giants win, we lose. They've already shown willingness to coordinate with each other. The non-poaching agreements and the Alex Jones case.

Our defences from power have always been the existence of multiple states (e.g. refugees) and democracy. They would be beholden to neither. Able to destroy social lives and livelihoods at the click of a button, with no defence and no safeguards.

In a certain perspective, by quitting this conversation you too „don’t care“ about what latchkey thinks about this topic, though „someone somewhere“ (most likely their employer) definitely cares that they would tolerate the behavior your coworker displayed. You are doing what they propose, just at another perimeter of tolerance.

I don’t think that you „fundamentally disagree“, but that you have different understandings on when the time has come to quit caring. And given the limited amount of things we can care about during our lifetime I find it certainly helpful to reevaluate from time to time what I decide to care about.

I agree that your coworkers behavior is harmful to a team’s productivity and I would seek the conversation to resolve the disagreement in a professional manner. But if there is no path of a resolution, I would escalate the problem, stop caring and get on with my life, because there is nothing more I could’ve done.

It differs a lot per country. As you said southern Europe has a tradition to eat late, so things are open late. UK / Ireland has a tradition (although not really a law anymore) that bars close early.

Cities in at least North Western Europe that have the size of something like Hong Kong are just as 24x7 as Hong Kong, and the same for the major US cities.

The library here for example is open 24x7, cinemas usually until something like 2am etc. But in smaller cities everything is closed much earlier.
I wouldn't say it's because of the hardship, but usually the side-effects of said hardship, i.e untreated emotional problems, poor mindsets towards people and relationships, very closed off emotionally -- "guarded" and feeling like they constantly need to "defend" themselves in every relationship.

After being close with a multitude of people that were improperly socialzed -- and a multitude of people that were propeely socialized -- I'm not going to put myself in lower quality relationships "out of the goodness of my heart and soul" anymore.

It is dependent on the hardship though, and if the person recieved social support from his support system (f.e combat service in the military, growing up poor but very good family and values, etc.). Barring that, I'm more than likely going to be scarred emotionally by people that didn't learn how proper, healthy relationships look like, and it's a "we" not a "you vs. me."

This! No teacher, professor, peer reviewer worth their weight would accept WP as a source. WP is great for getting a summary of a topic and a quick start list of possible sources. However if one wants to cite something, one should ready WPs citations. Often those are actual sources (though sometimes those aren’t even original sources).

I feel like this is something that I was taught in 6th or 7th grade that all literate adults should learn.

This same argument holds true for most “news” sources too. I would not call many of the well known “News” sources legitimate “sources”. Just because Fox/CNN/Wikipedia says something doesn’t mean it’s true. Check the citation! If there is no citation/can’t be verified, then the trustworthiness is close to 0 regardless of the person/agency/organization stating it.
The same company also has exactly those barriers at major polluting rivers.
Let's keep in mind that prevention -- less production -- reduces pollution more than cleaning after it's there.

Regulation can help, which results from popular support. Bans and other legislation in cities and nations around the world are resulting from people voicing and acting against plastic and pollution, but we're barely started.

When enough of us act as consumers not to buy polluting products, producers will respond to products not selling by producing less.

I would have thought I couldn't do much until I started avoiding packaged food.

Those in food deserts or who had less time asked me to teach them to do it since it helped them.

Food packaging is only one source of plastic. We can avoid other junk too, particularly relevant after Christmas. Anecdotally, here in Manhattan, piles of garbage around discarded pine trees look larger, overflowing with packaging.

> cats can trust and respect?

I think you're doing the reverse of anthropomorphizing - assuming that because humans have an experience, then that experience must be unique to humans.

Cats have all kinds of trust signals: showing their belly to you, slowly blinking at you, circling you with tail up, fully grooming themselves where you can see them.

You won't see these signals if you don't treat the cat with respect, i.e.: invade their space without "asking" (letting them sniff your hand from a safe distance first), pick them up when their body language indicates they are just fine where they are, pet them on places that are vulnerable (belly, throat), touch their fur when your hands have lotions or other scents.

> milk isn’t even particularly good for you

Well, it's not like the healthiness of foods is what guides the average American. With that said, I think it's not particularly relevant if anything is good for your or not, since a lot of what and how we eat is driven by culture, and not rooted into any underlying science or reason - e.g. three meals a day, cereal in the morning, milk for strong bones and so on. So yeah, drinking milk in the US is just a part of culture now, and I am convinced that all countries have similar quirks.

Oh man. This seems to have spawned an anecdota war.

I think the main issue/benefit with arch linux is that it wont try to do anything for you, except give you extra instructions for when a package change requires "manual intervention".

I put that in quotes because I don't think of that as breakage, I think of that as normal upkeep. We'll, as long as it's listed.

Anyway, the implications are that things can be stable longer on arch because there is no magic under the hood. But there will be times (though I haven't experienced it myself), where something unexpectedly breaks, and it'll be hard to recover unless you know what your doing... though maybe it's actually easy with the rolling back packages? The package manage does keep copies of old versions of packages, I've just never needed them.

As an example if this, my co worker and I have very similar thinkpad laptops. His graphics start doing wierd things that hes has to go fix after every update (Fedora or Ubuntu, can't remember). I took 4+ hours to get mine working how I want, with research and experimentation, but nothing has broke it since.

The problem isn't so much that Debian packages or the ecosystem "breaks" as such, but that you run in to bugs (sometimes already fixed ones), and that you're then basically stuck with that unless you, the maintainer, or someone else decides to backport the fix, and they frequently don't get backported especially not for "minor" bugs.
