Hey HN: I’d like to read a compelling counter to the above versus seeing it turn grey without any meaningful discussion via drive by downvoting.

That said, mc32, with regards to food and consumption as you’ve put it, and in this specific context-I wonder if “post-consumerism” is a turn of phrase that you would consider apt? Rather than being against the machinations of excess known to be associated with industrial meat production, it seems to be moved beyond, and dispassionate towards “fixing” these machinations in favor of entirely different ethical choices.

Curious to hear your thoughts.

I had a high bandwidth use case that SL filled when I was a kid - but we went through resellers 10TB/UK2, later 100TB after that was a thing, then they dropped SL and every one of SL's products became AWS-priced levels of insane per GB bandwidth.

The odd thing is, for half the price I could get SL service w/10TB from a reseller, while at list price I only got 1-2TB bandwidth, and sales absolutely would not budge on that. I wonder why.
That is fair. I would be lying if I said I never installed potentially dodgy software from the internet. My primary problem here is the motivation behind the software.

The reason this software exists is fundamentally about a lack of trust. We don't trust Microsoft with the level of data that Windows 10 collects. That is a perfectly reasonable position to have. However if that is your opinion, it seems frankly bizarre to trust these nameless developers who have zero accountability for this software. Microsoft is at least accountable to the law, the stock market, and their customers. There is hundreds of billions on the line if they screw you over. If Barnacle screws you over, the only thing on the line is their copy of Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Understandability here is more of an umbrella term for the system as a whole, cyclomatic complexity is generally only useful for much more isolated chunks of code. Reducing CC can also make the the system as a whole less understandable, moving an inner loop into it's own function for a simple example will reduce the cyclomatic complexity of the outer function yet the complexity hasn't really changed and now there is more indirection for the developer to deal with. It's a good tool for telling you how complicated a piece of code is, but generally there aren't many options to reduce it other than hacking the metric and making the system as a whole more complicated and less understandable.

From the article:

> Importantly it should be noted that 93% of Beyond Meat’s consumers are in actual fact meat–eaters, not vegetarian or vegans as popularly perceived.

From their website:

> We hope our plant-based meats allow you and your family to eat more, not less,of the traditional dishes you love, while feeling great about the health, sustainability, and animal welfare benefits of plant protein.

Doesn't sound like their value proposition is really built around vegetrains/vegans at all.
> Only, we're not building them. Because coal is better or whatever.

No, we're not building them because they are more expensive than ordinary LWRs, uranium is cheap, and separated plutonium from spent fuel has negative value.
Presumably you can abort mission with a drone and have it return home. Not sure you can do that with a cruise missile.
Honestly, I dont think so. I think they mostly use our code. If you look on github, there are a bunch of chinnese repos. But there arent state of the art implementations of things like distributed queues that are better than what we have
The price will come down. We've had beyond for about a year and at least two other competitors (that taste basically the same) have hit the market in that time, and the price seems to be drifting down. So far it's down to not much more than a good organic / free range burger patty, and when you buy it at a fast food place it's the same price as a normal burger.
Simple non-AI solution: Require all meeting participants to use push-to-talk. Support foot-pedals, mouse buttons, phone volume up button, and bluetooth play button.

For large meetings, organizers can enable a single-talker mode. Holding the talk button puts you in a queue. Your screen indicates when it's your turn to talk. This prevents folks from talking over each other. This eliminates echo by muting the talker's speakers while recording their voice. Also, attendees see the current talker, not the person whose dog just barked.
While it's most definitely true that most people who want to fight back will get legal counsel, I am talking more about giving faith to fight to those who yield at the sight of the first letter.

Who wants to use GNOME applications on a touchscreen? On what hardware?

Aside from that, I think it’s a pipe dream for anything but the simplest applications to have one single UI implementation that works well for both touch and non touch. It didn’t work well for Windows. It’s not working well for GNOME. I think the needs of touch vs non touch users are just too different, and considerable developer time is being wasted trying to magically support both with a unified front end.

Of course other people are free to spend their time on whatever they want, whether it’s useful or not. But I haven’t seen a single application come out of GNOME’s efforts to unify desktop and mobile that I would actively prefer to the alternative.

So yes, I guess they “make a ton of sense” if you want to support a use case nobody has, on hardware that doesn't exist, and end up with an inferior experience for either or both sets of users for your trouble.
No, because it could cancel and go back home.
Mine too at UIUC almost 20 years ago! We had to design a working CPU for the instruction set in verilog or VHDL, then run a program in the simulator.

I still vaguely remember that exactly one instruction needed 2 passes through the core pipeline. During decode, we would inject the reserved word into the instruction pipeline to represent the 2nd pass. We were pretty proud of that "innovation".
We use Restream.io and Solar Winds Papertrail, both were down today, my guess is they use IBM Cloud itself or some rackspace that IBM's rented to other clouds, which is apparently typical at the edge of the major public cloud regions

Now now, that is a very charitable comment about its taste. As usual in food, more processing -> cheaper and lower quality. Sure, it might have similar macronutrients but real health is in getting enough micros.
Yes absolutely, if sudo can make su, there is no more safety or audit in place...to go back to gun's...glock, you pull or you don't, no switch just 'sudo su'

I hope so too. This seems like one of the most important things to tackle, but how safe is it? What's the chance that 50 years down the line we figure out that this has some damaging effect on the human body?

@jim The issue is it's in Adalo which is a nocode platform currently without the ability to execute scripts and with no concept of a "cron-like" process that can run periodically and do garbage collection. It's also not possible to expose Adalo collections externally and run this logic via external process so he's left with the prospect of doing a kludgy hack trying to imitate wp-cron in his app to make something that will delete old photos periodically. It's just easier to have a VA do this once per month instead.

Firstly - good catch. I updated the link.

Secondly - I wish I could get ScrollToTextFragment to work reliably. I've tried integrating this into Quotebacks and every time it just works so sporadically that I roll it back. Somehow Google thinks this is robust and stable enough to put into production but my experience is very hit/miss.
GNOME does pop up a virtual keyboard when needed. You're not seeing it here because a physical keyboard is attached. The video is actually quite compelling, the actions only look unnatural because of how they're being demonstrated. To me at least, this is what "touch first" should look like.
The materials science development going into hypersonic vehicles is going to pay dividend in future space travel. Seems like that’s still the most dicey part of building five digit cycle reusable spacecraft.
The article claims that "93% of Beyond Meat's customers are meat-eaters", but also acknowledges that "no ethically aligned solutions immediately spring to mind".
>include a carbon and water tax on food.

Um ok. People who subscribe to this theory can calculate the proper offset and donate to their cause of choice or, you know, moderate their food consumption to adequately reflect their opinions on food production.

The implication is that eating meat is not ethical, something most don't agree with.

My take: beyond as a company is long-term worthless. Not because this isn't where people's diets are headed - fully convinced that's going to happen. But there are at least two competitors in my area and they taste essentially the same as name-brand beyond.

But, I Am Not A Capitalist, so... maybe they'll manage to entrench themselves thru brand recognition or supply chain monopolies.
Are you not worried about security vulnerabilities? Otherwise I love your idea here.
There are two languages, “rust” and “unsafe rust”. All code in unsafe blocks is not safe.
I don't like touchscreen devices and prefer desktop computers, too.

But I'm not most consumers, apparently. Because mobile is where people are spending most of their time.

And they're spending it on linux.
Nope, we'll have to wait a while for people like you to clue in how an optimized renewable-only grid is cheaper than one including nuclear (with everyone being charged for their capital cost.)
Yeah, as a reducetarian I feel like these products are aimed squarely at me and even if they're more expensive right now I feel like I'm helping with the learning curve for reducing their price when I buy them.
I'm not a vegetarian, but I had some recent comments on this, as someone who's currently using Beyond Meat as their primary protein source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/gtrcm5/comment/...

tl;dr:

* It's potentially safer than meat during the pandemic

* I support any advancements that may enable humanity to phase out killing animals over the long term, such as clean meat (lab-grown meat) and plant-based meat

* It's one of a very small number of high-quality (high-PDCAAS and low-carbohydrate) protein sources that I'm aware of

* Enjoyment-wise, it's a close enough substitute for my taste

* I'm somewhat concerned about it being a heavily processed food as well as reportedly having its pea protein isolate sourced from China, and I wish they would reduce (or eliminate) the canola oil in favor of more coconut oil, but afaict there's nothing obviously terrible in it
Yes, many more than those two.
The message of "Slaughterbots" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CO6M2HsoIA) seems both more prescient and more urgent than ever given this news. Our continued reckless development and deployment of autonomous weaponry without thought to the consequences is deplorable, and its consequences could be staggering.
So you don't need to turn on dev mode and use crouton to install a chroot for Linux anymore?
- vim, grep, regex, cli (i.e. fundamental text tools, no “ide” plugins)

- no “intellisense“, only word completion

- write down my operative “what do I do now” stack on paper (helps to not lose yourself in a forest of thoughts and fixes)

The second one I found very effective, because instead of guessing what function or method does or how many of them are there, you go to man/html docs and read on what it really is, how it works, and what its error modes are. This way I learn much more about APIs that I use, read rationales, caveats and more.

Also, intellisense when done wrong (and it often is) gets in your way and creates non-deterministic time-dependent modes for your input, even worse than vim-anxious people usually criticize it for.
Like many other things in our economy, you're not paying for externalities.

Others bear the cost. This is not ethical.
I3 is a terrible wm for floating windows. Floating functionality is very primitive. No snapping. Resizing relies on hitting a small target unless you also know you can do super+shift+right click and drag. Directional bindings to switch windows doesn't work between floating windows or between floating windows and tiled ones. You have to hit a binding to go between tiled/floating. No alt tabbing between floating windows. No minimize. Scratchpad can be used for something LIKE minimize but it isn't minimize because a minimized window remains available to be recalled via an icon or label in the taskbar whereas a scratchpad window requires you to recall it by its criteria programmically or by cycling through candidates. Floating windows always overlap tiled windows so that if you have both you must relocate floating windows if you want to access tiled ones.

Floating windows in i3 are for dialog windows not applications. If you try to use it as a floating wm you would be disappointed.
I guess it won't hurt to explain the joke.

The Mac has what is sometimes called a "BSD userland" with the result that cp, rm, ls, grep, etc work basically like they do on FreeBSD. But some Mac users prefer the GNU versions of those commands. To avoid breaking scripts that depend on the BSD behavior, when Homebrew installs the GNU versions, it names them gcp, grm, gls, ggrep, etc.

As you can see, unsafe blocks are required for the assembly block. If you see "unsafe" itself as a problem, you should perhaps read a bit about Rust's philosophy about the matter: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch19-01-unsafe-rust.html

But I imagine as a continue to post, this won’t scale well. So I’m curious to hear what everyone else does for their website?

Everything out of PARC in the 70s were solutions looking for a problem. Fuchsia, in my mind, has always been a research project.

Fuchsia could have datacenter impacts for Google internally.

I wonder if there's value there for in-IDE snippets. I need to make some changes to some Java code, I know how I'd say it in Python, and this'll do the translation for me?
For me I get the most benefits from using FP features. I can write one-liners that are easy to read, and replace 10's to 100's of lines of my code.

For a simple example,
val newList list.map(function Call(_))

Instead of
val1 = functionCall(1)
valN = functionCall(N)
The point of taxes is that they force people to pay for things whether they want to or not. This is nice because most people wouldn't want to voluntarily pay for negative externalities.

I know that there's no way I would want to pay for the ecological effects caused by my lifestyle choices for example. A tax doesn't give me the option to not pay.
1) Emacs. Still the king of text editors, with even the latest challengers (e.g., Visual Studio Code) proving unworthy. Nothing beats an editor you modify for the task at hand live as you edit.

2) Scheme. It started with writing plugins for GIMP in its embedded Scheme in the 90s, then I moved on to Guile -- but Scheme not only made programming fun, it put solving a greater class of problems within my reach, especially when I had to solve them quickly. When I need to explore an algorithm or rough out a prototype for how a system might work, I reach for Scheme -- and even when I'm not working in Scheme or another Lisp, I bring its lessons with me.

3) Darcs. This was my first DVCS, before git, and it enabled me to more easily use version control on my own independent projects and prepared me for a git workflow.

4) Linux, and open source in general -- for providing me with a free OS, free tools, and lots of code to examine for ideas and inspiration. Back when I was faffing about with Windows programming as a teenager, this was a real game changer.
This was a revelation for me as well. I also didn't realize that if you haven't configured vi keybindings, the default is Emacs (in bash or anything using readline). Even though Vim's my main editor, I found modal editing a bit too heavyweight on the commandline, so I prefer the default Emacs (most useful by far: C-b to go back one word and C-k to delete everything right of cursor).

Post-consumer(ist) would reframe it such that we evaluate it as something existing after transcending consumerism. We may get there, some day.

I’m against calling something that’s basic to human sustenance “consumerist”. We might disagree with peoples choices of food or the source of those foods or whether it’s a small farmer or BigAg.

I remain opposed to calling basic foods (contrasted with luxury foods) part of consumerism. Meats and such have been part of human nutrition for quite some time. Unlike clothing (and other things) you don’t typically buy unnecessary excess for the sake of it or to fulfill some non essential need that’s already been met.

As I admit we can reproach people for unwise choices in food but I can’t consider it consumerism (I would allow some narrow exceptions).
You are probably right, but the original article is more of a "freestyle". It is entertaining and engaging. Conflating (deliberate or not) of cousins and ancestors is a small price to pay to keep the reader on the subject. [pardon my English, I am sure you will find enough to critisize]
