OP here, and funnily enough: I completely agree with you. I write everything of substance on legal pad first, which I later “keyboard” (transcription of writing in pad + some editing ) onto a digital system.

For long stuff, I organize my legal pads into binders (pre-3-hole-punched).

Thattttt said, I love digital writing tools as a toy, and in this case I’m looking for a specific tool already. I think I literally referred to it as an indulgence in my text post.

Great points though, I appreciate the perspective. Happy writing to you as well.
A, the same story that appears once a year for 50+ years...

Like the Cold Fusion stories, it never not fails to dissapoint...
When I first started programming, I thought the description next to the folder / file name on github was actually describing the item - as you did above, and not just the message from the last commit that altered the file.

Many years later, I still believe that's how it should be.
> No. It was a 100% gender thing.

> Notice that the comment never mentioned that men shouldn't divorce because they are past their 20s when they should be finding a wife.

> Notice that the comment never mentions that high-quality women would never want to raise someone else's kid.

> GP's comment is less valid because it is from an era where women were less-than.

In what world do you live in where on average older women are considered more desirable partners than older men? By and large men are attracted to looks (or they prioritize looks a lot more than other qualities) while women are attracted to a set of qualities besides looks (or they prioritize other qualities a lot more than looks).

You can argue that's sexist and old-fashioned, but that's just how attraction works. Good luck changing the world!

Talk about taking a quote out of context. Best to just read the whole article, but right after he also says.

“We need to have some humility here,” he added. “We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent.”

Herd immunity is also a moving target based on a lot of factors. Hopefully it doesn't reach measles level requirement.

I assume it was meant to be a probabilistic statement, where the probability of finding a man who is economically resourceful and has the desired capacity and abilities to raise children, and is also willing to raise step children is so low as to be a material risk for women looking for said man.

Based on the actions of my male friends and accounts I’ve read about dating as a single mom in their 30s, I assume the above is true.
If the assumption is that the only source of change is internal to the relationship, sure. There are many sources of change that are external to two partners in a marriage, it’s not unreasonable to think one person may diverge from another to the point where a having a healthy, close, intimate relationship is unhealthy.
The discovery function of Tidal is by far my favorite. I've found so much new music - it's exciting. Takes me back to the Limewire days.

Not true. If you dig deeper, you’ll find Tesla was originally charging Model S and X owners $2500 to replace failed MCUs. Only under regulator scrutiny did they concede and issue a recall.

Owning both a Model S and X, I’ve seen Tesla first hand attempt to evade covering warranty work on these models.

Friendly reminder to opt out of arbitration when you buy your Tesla (when the VIN is issued).

Do you have a reliable source you can cite to back up your claims? If so, feel free to edit the Wikipedia article to correct any errors of fact (or statements not backed up by the sources they are citing) in the article.

Wikipedia is the article anyone can edit, and, yes, they will embrace any point of view which comes from a reliable source.

So far, no editors have come forward and been able to assert that Hunter Biden got a high paying job because of his father pulling strings using reliable (ideally, secondary) sources. Until such sources are found, the allegation remains a conspiracy theory.

Preprint of the paper described in the article: https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.14383
I find it fascinating that while we mostly understand each other, it seems like we still disagree on what sort of knowledge is useful. There is a weird gap here.

It seems like this is starting with something I basically knew? The visitor pattern in an object-oriented language is used for same things that a sum type and pattern-matching are used for in a functional language.

And then re-explaining it using a lot of mathematical jargon, which makes it considerably more obscure than the more hand-wavy explanation. And then saying "isn't that useful?"

But I was happy just informally knowing that they were equivalent, and I would be happier explaining this to someone else informally, using examples of the same code written in Java (say) and Haskell. I don't feel like the mathematical jargon helped? I guess it's sort of neat that you can explain it that way.
This makes no sense in light of what you said earlier:

If you claim this:

“I don’t have a choice for some things, I have to buy from a certain business.”

Then you claim that people can simply leave a job.

What if they also have no choice and have to work at a certain business?

> What I've seen over the past few years though, is a very efficient filtering of the internet of almost all content that isn't left learning from all major forums and a shutting down of those that could not be filtered.

No, you are mistaken. What is 'left leaning' in the United States would already be considered considerably right-of-center in most of the developed world, besides that, there is plenty of right leaning content out there. What has happened is that a bunch of companies decided to stop supporting some of the more batshit crazy outlets on the extreme rightwing part of the spectrum. But that doesn't mean you won't be able to read the Wall Street Journal, The American Spectator or a ton of other right leaning publications.

It's just going to be a little harder to organize the next insurrection or to spread outright lies. But that's fine.

Framing this as anything to do with censorship is very clever, but it really isn't. For many reasons.

I’m sorry for being condescending but I wasn’t referring to you in particular. It is indeed currently very trendy to be vegan.

I chose the other direction which is to eat very very good meat, but way way less, because that’s goddamn expensive and because we can’t produce it that much. Just like good wine.

The very big issue with meat is that you have a shit ton of farm raising some thousands animals in very precarious conditions for people eating garbage. That’s harsh, but that’s the sad truth.

The conclusion to this should not be to stop meat but to stop garbage. Just like everything in food by the way, you can eat 100% vegan 100% garbage 100% detrimental for the environment.

The issue with studies is that it’s basically impossible to just prove that we « could support at least a few more billion humans ». It’s just too big of a study. I’m actually pretty sure that with the way we live (independently of the question of meat) we should already be way less than we are. It’s quite obvious but I don’t have any « studies » at end, because it’s way easier for everywhere to just « prove » we can continue as we do (if we all become vegan of course, because that’s really the heart of our issue).

I’m not saying it’s a population problem and not a consumption problem. I think it’s both. And I think the vegan trend is absolutely part of the consumption problem because it’s hiding the source of the issue. You just have to look at how it’s so easier for people to tackle The source of the issue is that we should seek good instead of quantity or easiness.

We have replaced the supposedly old problem of meat by the new supposedly non-problem of food in a plastic bag with a vegan sticker on it.

Sorry about your situation, but no. It's healthier than some of the worst outcomes but it's far from the top.

A marriage is an enterprise two people join in together, and then go through life doing the really important work of raising children and supporting each other.

Ideally this is accompanied by deep love and passion etc. Short of that, it's done with deep mutual commitment and appreciation of the other person and the work you're doing together.

Way shittier down the line are relationships plagued with resentment and mistrust, that in my experience have more to do with what the people bring into the relationship than their partner (basically: if both people are sane and enter thoughtfully into the marriage, you should not end up here.)

Once you're in that mode, where you don't have it together to work it out and grow together, sure divorce is happier than eternal rancor and abuse, but it's super-down the line.

I think this is important to understand because once you do, you're much more thoughtful about what you're getting into in the first place. I guess it's easier said for me because I married in my later 30s and had the life experience and introspection to know what I want and need and to appreciate my wife (who is different than me in ways that a less mature version of me might resent rather than appreciate)
Oh cool, I'd never heard of those, funny enough. I'll have to look into those myself!

> Integrity of news and journalistic ethics have declined substantially from 2000's and have become very charged with political agendas, sensationalism and emotional pandering hit-pieces.

Depending on exactly what you want to know about, the integrity of the news and journalistic ethics have never existed as anything other than isolated incidents. The press has by and large always been subject to the truth of the powerful, whether the rich owners or the political elite. This is usually by construction - The Propaganda Model from Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman presents a very simple and compelling model of how this happens without any kind of conspiracy being involved.
Yet Linux is way more popular option both on the server and the desktop. Way way way more people and companies contribute. And it seems that BSD use is declining on servers? [1] MacOs is a unix but how does that help the BSD community, as most code is build upon it and the changes don't really trickle back. Companies just take, if you can do whatever you want with the code. You can wish that everybody shared back in a perfect world, reality proves this is simply not true. At least the company trying to influence development has to contribute to gain influence, and you can fork it (with their changes!) if you don't like that.

The GNU license at least somewhat protective. To each their own, but I would never release software under a permissive free license.

Presumably, but considering the fact that we're programmed to care more about our family than the rest of the world, it's unlikely he'll be as worried about the situation he's described than the opposite.
dude I snorted my coffee.
But someone somewhere actually sits behind their computer and dreams up this stuff that then gets seeded and passed on from one gullible mind to another. That's the heart of the problem, the initiators, and what their agendas are. It's not as though memes can be easily traced back to their sources.

In fact, that would be a very nice project: to trace back any kind of meme (positive, negative, disinformation, I don't care) to its origin.
One person's model:

People's tastes are largely driven by the foods they ate when they were young, which with notable exceptions, will prominently feature meat dishes. People on sites like this are likely to underestimate this effect, we are likely to be embedded in subcultures that are unusually high in openness to experience.

All else being equal, many people prefer doing the more ethical thing (or if you want to be cynical about it, the thing that makes them feel more ethical). Many people believe that plant based meat is more ethical.

Currently, all else isn't equal. Plant-based meat is more expensive to the consumer, and most find it to be less enjoyable to eat. Recent trends have been closing those gaps, producing more enjoyable plant-based meats at high but dropping prices.

As plant-based meat's quality/price ratio improves it will be increasingly common, and will displace a large amount of meat consumption that would be difficult to displace by other vegetarian dishes.
we're a rather small technically-focussed team, 80% of us with Asperger's (!). right now, we can either focus on making the site look pretty, or we can focus on "getting it done".

if you'd like to see what was done up until around Nov 2020, i've a video of the first boot of the litex BIOS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72QmWro9BSE for example.
however what would be really helpful would be offers of assistance. we've got funds available, so that's not a "we're looking exclusively for volunteers" thing

second answer: there appears not to be very much to show for it because we had to stop actual "development" work and do several months of planning on the Vectorisation system. however we couldn't start that unless we had a full and proper understanding of OpenPOWER, which was why we first had to do a basic OpenPOWER v3.0B core, and that's what's demo'd in the video.

hope that helps.
> the benefits aren’t particularly great while the risks are large.

Marriage brings specific legal and financial benefits, depending on the country (married couples tax allowances, spousal rights to pensions and inheritance etc, spousal privilege in court, visa/residency rights, child custody rights).

As these benefits have reduced over a few decades, the number of marriages has gone down (at least in the West?). I don't think that's a coincidence.

You don't need a legal marriage to share a loving and fulfilling life together with a partner. But, if you do share a loving and fulfilling life together, marriage might benefit you for one or more of the above reasons.

Tofu and wheat gluten have been used for centuries as meat analogues in many cultures (especially those that mostly eat vegetarian). It’s not a silly concept at all, and opens up a world of delicious culinary options to those of us who don’t eat animal flesh.
Completely agree. Why can't we all just eat regular, and not so highly processed vegetables if we want to make the switch to healthier diet..
There is an important aspect of writing architectural docs (or any docs for that matter) that is often overlooked.

Write simply and clearly.

Too much verbosity and detail is difficult to follow. That's what the code is for. It is almost a superpower to be able to write succinctly and clearly. This isn't some contest to showoff your deep knowledge of a particular niche. I've seen developers get 'nerdy' with their docs for a lack of a better term.
Yes I have, but it's normally obvious from the context that a fruit or nut is being referred to, usually by qualifing the workd with either 'fruit' or 'nut', or the person holding either.

If someone asked me to buy some meat and I returned with a few apples I'd receive a Merriam-Webster dictionary to the head!
Yeah give me the 80/20 ground chuck (80% insect-derived protein, 20% exoskeleton). Make sure the roaches were free-range, naturally sewer fed.
I would like to see comfortable lives and painless deaths for all our slaughtered animals. But is killing insects more humane than chickens etc? Do we really beleive that if BigPoultryCo determined it could make a profit raising and killing insects it would do so in a manner somehow more in tune with our sentimentalities?
True, but I think it was focusing on things under the control of the producers of this product... of course, I suppose spending more on lobbying to try to reduce subsidies or tax externalities for meat is under their control. It seems like a kind of unwinnable battle though doesn't it?

The OP does touch on the subsidies by suggesting the producers rely more on soy and corn, which are heavily subsidized, and as are used as animal feed and thereby constitute a pretty major source of the meat subsidy. While not about externalities, I think they could have pointed out the reasons corn and soy are so cheap compared to other plant sources are in large part a result of government policy.
Like any form of risk, avalanche risk is able to be mitigated with information and deliberate decision making. Teaching these skills is the primary objective of avalanche education.

It seems that your qualms with "off-piste" skiing are primarily as a result of an uneducated public, unable to make these risk-management decisions.

I can certainly understand that frustration. But, wouldn't you agree that the solution is in education, rather than judgement?
It’s interesting that the prices for meat quoted in the article are far lower than what I see in my major American city, with meat typically going for triple the quoted prices. Vegan alternatives are quite attractive because there’s not much of a price difference here.

That's as simple as explaining to someone the difference between 'climate' and 'weather'. You don't need to be a climate scientist and you don't need to trust the scientific community, you could simply look at the recorded average temperatures for the last 100 years or so and then you could make up your own mind about this.

There aren't many problems of that magnitude that would require so little in terms of evidence and understanding as that one. Once you agree on the basic terminology.
I read the first answer there, but it didn't answer the related question: why don't all cars have that weird setup now? Is there a modern design feature that we have nowadays that allows for normal threading on the left-side wheels that keeps them from coming loose?

I don't know J as well as k, but it seems to map less to trading/finance, my domain of expertise.

I like that k/q is a more traditional language in a sense, you can write code (if you have to) that looks like regular functional/imperative code. J is more obtuse and takes a more mathematical approach that can be confusing.

I do like forks and the point free style though.
