> A few of the brighter bulbs in sustainable agriculture treat their animals more like you might an intern.

> Except for the whole bad day at the end.

It's about animal exploitation as a whole. Any commoditization of sentient beings is a bad thing. We don't need to, when it comes to a choice (especially in this forum), we can choose to not be a part of that system.

> Most of these fad diet folks have this stuff all wrong. We didn't eat all fruits and nuts. We didn't eat all meat. We ate a steady diet of opportunistic foods, and meat was a supplement to our nutrition.

Stopping exploitation isn't a diet fad. Some people might confuse it though. We don't need to be opportunistic now.

> To be a vegan requires you to use a global supply system for your food, which has its own carbon footprint problems.

Sure, and we can do better on many fronts. But animal exploitation is one of the main contributors to climate change. We're already using a global supply chain for animals, which includes all the growth of food in other countries to ship to them.

> It has been asserted, sometimes as a throwaway line, in a number of historical documentaries I've seen, that part of structural classism in the middle ages was denying meat to the working class, leading to developmental delays. Malnutrition made them dumber. Easier to control. 'Course, they gave themselves gout in the process...

Historically what we have done should not impact our current ability of choices. We can live on a healthy vegan diet. Structural classism also includes the current worker in the meat industry.

In terms of malnutrition people can live on a healthy diet while vegan.

There's a lot of information here https://www.cowspiracy.com/facts

There are plenty of videos explaining stuff about exploitation. Dominion is free on youtube. In terms of youtubers Earthling Ed is a good watch.

Most importantly, it's easy and one of the single most impactful decisions we can individually make on a daily basis
WSDL, JSON-WSP[1], now protobuf, and many more formats abound on the web.

In the spirit of 'choose the boring technology', which of these[2] is common enough / flexible enough to be worth learning to use and use well for non-fad web development / homestyle programming?

I'd default to WSDL since I happened to grow up learning that in school, but I'm sure that's my baby duck syndrome since CORBA etc came before that.

> I feel strongly like this law was pushed by people who want Uber to be a full-time job. It’s not.

According to you. It's clearly a full time job for most drivers. The fact that you think it shouldn't be doesn't change that.

What do you expect full time taxi drivers to do exactly? Go back to working for local taxi companies and get zero customers?
> It's guilty until proven innocent and either way you lose.

One could say it's guilty until proven guilty.
We should let the market evolve on its own as long as no one is forcing someone else to do the job. How the hell is a lawmaker in charge of the definition of a job? Uber just wanted to define it for themselves. Someone else that hates that model can try and do something different, or run marketing ads against people becoming drivers if it's that dangerous.
> I'd love to have some sinophiles explain Xi's strategy, what motivated him and his cohort to accelerate their time line.

The timer on him is still ticking. He himself may well secured an n-th term, and party's temporary obedience at gunpoint..., but I feel he is very desperate, and have sleepless nights in anticipation of 2022.

Any fault of him, whether it is flagging economy, or any concession on the foreign front, or him not scoring just enough of political capital on that, would be 1000% used to undermine his position by whomever wanting to unseat him.

Unlike the oligarchates of ex-Union, CPC has very real internal conflicts. CPC's size ensures that there will never be enough posts, titles, and entitlements for every member of the establishment.
> Unless you directly witnessed these events (which few people did, even amongst Seattleites), then you're getting your information second-hand just like everyone else.

I live here. I've spent weeks going to sleep to the sound of police grenades going off. I've been to CHAZ. I've watched, in bafflement, for weeks, at how news coverage - particularly national, but also local has painted an entirely different picture from what I've seen with my own two eyes.

The events he cites have taken place - but because of the superficial level of knowledge he has of the situation, he is omitting vital context.

I will absolutely gatekeep on this. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but it's quite clear that _iyig has no first-hand knowledge, and only superficial second-hand knowledge of what he's talking about.

At least, that's my most charitable interpretation of the situation.
Bet on the Election
Absolutely. And it is strictly security theater. We're delusional to think that checking the boxes on these arbitrary lists is making us "more secure." It's very frustrating to have a role in this game and find yourself completely unable to combat the bureaucracy.
I think it has to be because I've heard small dogs age more slowly. Maybe there's a way to adjust for weight/breed that I could find if I were willing to dig through the original research paper.

We don’t know if this is the 7 or 8 core M1 GPU, nor whether this is the actively cooled MacBook Pro/Mac Mini or the passively cooled Air.

So this seems pretty useless.
There are only-partially-understood immune processes that go by the names 'trained immunity' or 'bystander immunity' - where encountering one infectious agent (including just an immunogenic vaccine) can "rev up" the immune system to be more ready for other infections – even those of very-different types.

For example, there are preliminary indications that flu vaccines, Tuberculosis vaccines ("BCG"), & Measles-Mumps-Reubella vaccine ("MMR") may each decrease Covid-19 infection rates or severity-of-cases.

Given that, letting usual immunization practices decay under Covid-19 disruptions is double-destructive. If anything, other vaccination schedules should accelerate, even towards a point of over-vaccination.
yeah, but in the end, choice of OS is secondary to choice of application. I'm staying on Mojave for the foreseeable future, but I'll stay with Mac because Logic Pro is not available on any other platform. Sometimes applications are fungible, or you're lucky and your critical application is available on multiple platforms, but sometimes there are only certain applications that can do what you want. I run a MacOS System 7 for software to edit my Yamaha VL-1. I run MacOS 9.2.8 due to hardware drivers for a Korg OasysPCI. I run MacOS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard because is is the last OS that runs rosetta and keeps numerous PowerPC apps that never made the jump to Intel. I'll keep Mojave running when eventually I have to jump to Arm because I'm sure a lot of the software I run won't make the jump to Arm. I'd LOVE to drop any of those systems, but each exists because there are applications that do not have replacement on modern OS'es.

Objective fact, someone was willing to pay Uber for the right to sell to their customers. Uber seems to have some amount of control.
Taiwan "locked down immediately" but the Taipei metro was never below 2/3rds usual ridership. Right. It's not your garden variety lock down.

While the US government authorities were telling people "Masks don't work" and armies of conformists were busy shaming mask wearers for not thinking about 'our frontline workers' and nonsense like that, Taiwan just built sufficient capacity to make a mask for each person every 3 days. "Don't hoard your masks. Give them away to our precious medical personnel". Total fucking bullshit.

There are lots of people who went around telling people that masks don't work unless they're N95, that N95 don't work unless you're trained, that N95 don't work if you reuse. All total bullshit.

Don't try to rewrite history. I was there.
Is it even really telemetry as we'd consider it? It's OCSP digital signature verification... to check if an app signature wasn't revoked. (or a website cert, or anything really)
> the fact that these devices now run close to current gen discrete GPUs is a big jump.

The 1050 Ti (4 years old) has about the same performance as a GTX 680. A card from 2012.

This comparison makes absolutely no sense. You'd want to compare the M1 against either the current generation integrated, such as the Vega 8 or 11 in the Ryzen 4xxx mobile CPUs or the Intel Xe-LP in the current tiger lake CPUs, or you'd want to compare it against last gen integrated.

Comparing it against a discreet card from 4 years ago with the performance of a card from 8 years ago is just... weird?
Sounds perfectly reasonable.

Why are you afraid of updates then?
I ran a game company.

There are lots of occasions where we made a change the players didn't like, or we screwed up in a way that led to economic damage to some players, or just had an operational issue that led to a bunch of downtime.

Here is a random example of onee of these.

A few seconds here and a few seconds there - it's death by a thousand papercuts.

There's no community consensus - that keeps Python from advancing to where it needs to be.

I said it once and I'll say it again - Python lacks mature tooling.
That appears to be a Windows-only game using a fairly pricey subscription model. Looking at gameplay of it, it seems to have potential, but it also looks very janky and unfinished. Maybe after a few more years of development.
There are driveways everywhere there. People will put them accessible to the driveways, from the garage. In normal parts of the world, people would actually be parking inside of their garages rather than using them as storage space or living space, as happens in the Bay Area.

But as somebody who also lives in a Bay Area suburban hell that is trying desperately to pretend it can get by with bad planning of suburban sprawl, this are is not a problem at all. People in my neighborhood work around that just fine! I see many electric cars on my street, mostly charging close to the house. Some people run wires to the sidewalk for curbside charging, but not many.

The harder areas are places like SF where there's even more limited driveway access. That's where streetlights come in.

If your neighborhood isn't dense enough to have streetlight, no problem.

Edit: one key piece to charging from a garage 220V outlet is that you don't need to charge every single day. Charging every other day or every four days is just fine. So if you have 4 single people living in a 4 bedroom house, each with cars, that's just enough to get by in one charger.
You opted in to enabling Siri and they are simply validating the signatures on the apps.
Money can't buy you everything in politics. MA had ballot question #2, where the proponents raised an estimated $10M and the opponents raised an estimated $3500. (opponents were out-raised 3000:1)

The ballot initiative failed around 55%-45%, despite a massive difference in fundraising (and presumably associated spending).
With schema-driven protocols, it's possible for linters to automatically detect many kinds of breaking changes and flag them, to stop developers from creating a breaking change by accident.

Of course, it's still possible to make breaking changes without changing the schema. But being able to detect and prevent some kinds of bugs is better than not.
I'm not the one bending backwards here, bud.
Apple has stated they will not support running alternative operating systems on Macs with Apple Silicon.
Not exactly breaking news unless you've been living in closet since widescreen panels came out.

It is nice that some manufacturers (especially Microsoft) are putting out great aspect ratios for productivity.

For productivity, I've found that the sweet spot seems to be either ultra widescreen (side by side applications), or multiple screens with 3:2 / 4:3 / 5:4.

16:10 is much better than 16:9 though, especially on a small device.
I can understand people want more vertical real estate, but for me the opposite is actually more useful. The thinkpad screen at 14" is wide enough for me to have two things side by side, often a command line and a file or two files, or (shocker) code beside documentation.

Whilst vertical space is appreciated, the fact is that practically everything is taller than your screen. You are going to be scrolling vertically and everything supports that as an essential feature. Horizontal scroll is a nighmare however.

It's also worth noting that Lenovo's 4k screen on the 15.6inch actually fits more pickels vertically than Apple's 16inch despite physically being shorter. Obviously YMMV with regards to what actually gets represented on your screen.

On media, the NYT predicament seems clear:
>“Philosophy schmosiphy,” wrote a researcher at the Times whose Slack avatar was the logo for the hamburger chain Jack in the Box. “We’re at a barricades moment in our history. You decide: which side are you on?”

The Times has always been liberal. But among liberals, employees at the Times think norms have eroded to a "barricades" moment, and perceive the old "he kept the paper straight" neutrality as a betrayal of progress.

"Satisfactory" is also really good for people who like this kind of game and are looking to lose 80+ hours.
Your point is extremely relevant, whether building the ultimate society, or simply meeting immediate needs. Thinking it through, we find that following the leader has trifle benefits but great potential for harm. Thinking it through further, we find following the leader valuable only to help build, and to never degrade, our personal autonomy.

Maybe where you live. Everybody wears one here.

You probably missed the part where I said we would only outlaw knives if we had a safer way of cutting things (reliably).
Point out where I said people should never apologise, do it now.

That's obviously wrong. You're probably thinking of TeX which is bug-free, due to a combination of (a) Donald Knuth being a genius, (b) extreme scrutiny of the code base (in part because of the reward cheques) and (c) Knuth having defined it as bug-free years ago.

>This is rarely about the apology itself, but about establishing that something wrong has happened to begin with

Feh, don't even give these struggle sessions and the petty tyrants that perpetrate them that much credit. It's about establishing that something ideologically condemned by those demanding an apology has occurred, and nothing more. Morality is secondary to ideological purity among the types demanding apologies.

Fuck 'em, I say.
I honestly can't understand why on earth would a sane minded person spend all that money on apple hardware and then on top of that spend a a lot of time fighting a losing fight against the software.

Just switch to something else.
If they had an 8% margin, or expected to have one soon, it would be a great business. But you only get to those numbers using their non-GAAP metrics. None of that really matters/is surprising though, obviously investors know this but speculate that future growth and the changing market will one day result in real margins. Food delivery has been profitable on a small scale since forever, it definitely seems plausible that you could do it on a large scale and makes loads of money.
I don't think LaTeX is that bad but...

As a community (programming, engineering, science - whatever) we should probably be louder that the one thing any man or woman with the raw cash can do to help the scientific community is funding LaTeX-2030. The problem is oh-so-difficult but having a modern statically typed (for reflection mainly) well-designed programming language for typesetting could save huge amounts of time for researchers and the like.

That and the real agenda which is to kill word.

The degrees of separation from the HN readers stereotype of a HN reader to a billionaire can't be that high, right?
> One donut takes like 3 hours to burn off at a good clip on a treadmill

I don't know where you get this idea but I see this meme really often in defeatist "it's impossible to lose weight" discussions. It's so easy to research, I don't know why it spreads so easily.

A Krispy Kreme caramel glazed doughnut is about 220 kcal[0] and a very light treadmill session (30 minute, 5% incline, 3 mph) will probably burn in the 220 range[1].

> unless you’re a professional athlete, your voluntary physical activity is a rounding error in terms of weight management

Absolutely not. It's true that for somebody that eats/burns ~2000 kcal in a day, about 1500 of that is for just existing (the resting metabolic rate[2]). But even small amounts of exercise are significant: that 30-minute speedwalk is 10% of your calorie intake! Turning it up to a jog can easily be twice that.

You might be thinking of TeX (and even there it requires special definition), LaTeX's issue list is a bit more active: https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/issues
You can disable this behaviour by listing terminal under Dev tools, and launching from there.
If that is $20/year app, even if they finally approve it, expect to have this debate over and over again each year whenever the management gets another $20 invoice.

Then there is another piece of software that costs $200,000 but that's okay because someone more important than John decided they need it. Probably some website where you can upload PowerPoint presentations.

Snack foods do tend to be calorie dense.

And preparing meals certainly puts oneself in better control over what goes in.

It's just been my experience that as a bachelor preparing meals for individual consumption, particularly as the ability to make tasty meals improves, weight gain is still a problem. It's challenging to make single servings from scratch without going even a little overboard, and for me at least, it's all getting eaten in one sitting.

Cooking for me has become viewed more as just a DIY form of JIT-processed food. It tends to be healthier than food processed by someone else, for lack of preservatives and less salt/sugars, and higher quality ingredients, but the cooking process still tends to produce something more calorically dense and unnaturally delicious I have difficulty resisting overeating.

Exactly. This whole discussion about China suppressing Jack Ma is nonsense. It seems nobody here even knows what Ant was doing. And they’re all typically ignorant about whatever happens in China, and will just superimpose their biased views on them.

Ant was running some really shady and risky lending practices. They were not relevant when they were a private company, but once they became public, it instantly became a serious matter. The risk of failure is very high, and it risks bringing the whole system down.

What the government told Ant to do, was to have more collateral on their books. To increase it from 2% to 30%. Plain and simple. Then they can go forward with their IPO.
Bugs are not critiques. Working in software development, you learn extremely quickly that everyone writes bugs, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. The openness of issue trackers even helps elevate that.

On the other hand, it's not normal and not often practiced to go digging to see whose mistake introduced a bug and call them out in public on it - that would be what shouldn't be done at all.
It’s designed to unify the Mac and iOS experiences.
