I've never looked in to importing cats, but requiring cats to be registered is a fairly common discussion topic here. Dogs must be registered and microchipped (and aren't allowed in national parks, nature reserves, or wildlife sanctuaries). It's more expensive to register dogs that aren't neutered, so I believe the vast majority of pet dogs are.

On the other hand, cats are commonly seen as a lower cost and lower responsibility option, and as a result there are loads of them loose outdoors. I help maintain pest (mainly possum, and rat) traps in a forest at the edge of a small city, our traps include some self-resetting rat traps [1]. This isn't something we've kept close track of, but I'd estimate 1 in 15-20 rats killed overnight in those traps will still be left the morning after, because a cat has cleared the dead rat overnight.

An outright ban on cats is a political non-starter, but if we could at least require registration then pest control folks would have some chance of eliminating feral cats outside of special conservation areas. And, hopefully that change would shift the discourse a bit so a ban could be feasible down the track.

Then you can check for N = 0 to return Current, and do N - 1 in the iteration. One less value to pass in each recursion should make it faster, and it's less to think about.

I'm worried that there might be regulatory hurdles. The article says:

> nobody has to convince regulators that the foods are fit for human consumption, because they are made using microorganisms and processes that are already “generally recognised as safe”.

But the only mention of the "food industry" is FDA, which is specific to the USA:

> When Perfect Day asked the FDA to approve its whey protein in 2020, the agency said yes right away.
Is that really the case? I thought Github is actually thriving under M$.
> What is uninformed about this, in your opinion?

Nothing, that's not the part I (personally) had a problem with.

> Is it "uninformed" to point out that the M1 is a closed system that limits us, compared to Intel / AMD alternatives available? Or that the efforts of the developers will be a waste when Apple can, at any time, thwart or derail such reverse engineering attempts on the M1 by updating its firmware?

You just described reverse engineering. That's what it always looks like. It's not in Apple's best interest to thwart those efforts, and if they do, it becomes a game of whack-a-mole.

What I believe is uninformed about your posts, or at least your arguments, is the lack of understanding of both how we got to this point, and how progress can happen.

We are not at a point in the world where open hardware is winning. Not just CPUs, just open hardware in general. This won't change by ignoring the progress in closed systems. Reverse engineering for compatibility makes the progress more public and more accessible to the open systems. There are fundamental issues that need to be addressed before we can start on relying on open-by-default progress in hardware.

To answer your question about what is "uninformed" about it: Maybe a better world would be pointlessly idealistic. You won't address the issues above with a boycott, and it doesn't matter because a boycott won't happen anyway (if you can't convince a die-hard supporter of open source like me, you won't convince the general public). So it's all a bit of a waste of time; I like progress to not just be theoretical. Reverse engineering for compatibility is a practical way of progressing.

> Do you think I am wrong in concluding that AMD / Intel will not catch up, or even overtake, Apple ARM processors?

I think it's a good bet, but I don't think any of us can say so with certainty and definitely not "when" it will happen. Intel has been spiraling lately, who knows if they will catch up at all?
It's not that nerds do not respond to marketing -- everyone does -- it's that they respond to a different type of marketing than those who don't consider themselves nerds.

Some here say that the difference lies in rational vs emotional appeal, with nerds being presumed to be more "rational." But I think the difference is somewhere else. I don't think nerds are any less emotional.

A lot of traditional marketing relies on a thing where the marketer tries to sell the consumer some feature of a product in a way that does not involve delving into details of the product (this avoidance is seen as good thing -- often the fewer details are specified, the more polished the marketer considers the message to be). To a nerd, that avoidance is a very bad thing, because a nerd prides himself on knowing the details. So the marketing message that avoids details and tries to sell some "powers" that work "out of the box" hurts the ego of the nerd. This feeling of hurt is certainly an emotion, so I wouldn't say nerds are less emotional!

There are services which do that, but it doesn't work in every situation. It can't (for example) cope with SPF macros, which is where the server looking up the record can replace parts of the record it is requesting with variables from the SMTP session (for example, by inserting the connecting IP address into the record lookup domain).

On top of what others said, creating a copy of an existing directory isn’t trivial. You have to copy

- owner and group,
- rwx flags,
- OS-specific flags such as the FreeBSD immutable ones,
- ACLs,
- extended file attributes
- possibly stuff I forgot

Some of these you should set before copying in the files for security reasons, some of these you can only set after doing that.

If the directory isn’t writable, for example, you can’t simply create it writable, copy in the files, and make the directory read only, as that opens a hole where others can write files to the directory.

I think the only safe way is to create a directory that’s only readable and writable by you, copy in the files, then set the attributes right.

Nowhere near the same level, but one of my proudest moments in gaming as a teenager was being able to complete a single mission in Search and Rescue 4. It took many, many hours of futzing with the game interface, and even more hours reading up on helicopter controls on the Internet. Without the latter, I couldn't really understand what's going on with the controls.

I know it's just a videogame, but it gave me a deep respect for helicopters, in a way that normal flight sims didn't give me for jet planes.

In the process, I've also learned a bit about the mechanics surrounding the drive train and the main rotor blade, and to this day I'm impressed by how it was made to work. You have a couple tons of metal, + fuel and people, hanging from the sky off a spinning rod with lots of tiny, rotating parts. The more I think about it, the more I realize I still don't have a good intuition for strength and wear-resistance of materials involved.

I wish I could fly one for real. Maybe in another life, when I'm someone with more time, money and risk tolerance. For now, I'll just wait for someone to build a nice VR simulator, and maybe my friend and I can resume our high-school competition in autorotating after simulated engine failure in bad weather.
i can't say why webgl took over, as well as threejs, but i like how close to the metal they are. i would also much rather have a lower level representation underneath instead of starting outright with a markup language. i think that's why vrml eventually faded. i generally don't see why 3d should be represented in html.

as for react, it merely expresses threejs, and adds something which three doesn't have: self contained components that are now sharable. something like this: https://twitter.com/0xca0a/status/1394697847556149250 just didn't exist in the web previously.

DKIM and DMARC can be CNAMEs, but not SPF, since SPF lives at the apex domain name, which can not be a CNAME. (Of course, if your email address is on a subdomain, then that can be a CNAME. But then the MX records will also have to be moved to the CNAME target.)

I use NextDNS, so in the configuration for my LAN devices i have rewrites that maps host.somewhere.com to 192.168.x.x.
The external DNS maintains a single host record for VPN access, and since NextDNS also handles external requests, i have to set different hostnames for internal/external access.

It's (probably not) optimal, but it works.
It was pretty much the same approach i used with PiHole/AdGuard Home.

Edit: To allow multiple hostnames i use a wildcard certificate from LetsEncrypt, though once i'm connected through VPN it doesn't matter much as it will resolve the internal hostname just fine.

> Milk is substitutable. You loose the taste for it in a year or so. Cheese? I have tried many vegan cheeses. They all suck.

I think there's also a marketing issue with these things. This reminds of two anecdotes.

A few months ago, I got curious and tried one of those "alternative milks". As "milk", they all tasted terribly. Some tried to mimic the taste more than others. Some had tons of seed oils, which, I've heard, aren't all that great for the body. But one of these, I actually liked. It didn't really taste like milk, and it had next to nothing aside from oats and water.

A few years ago, I was out at a bar in Paris and caught a discussion between three people, one French, one Italian and one Wisconsinite. The subject was the cheese brought from the US. And the part that stuck with me was along the lines of: "This doesn't taste like Parmigiano at all. / But it's still very, very good cheese. / I think you'd have much more success selling it as its own name".

My point is that maybe instead of trying to recreate "vegan steaks" or "vegan cheese" or whatever, call it something new and let it stand on its own. It will probably never be the same as "the real thing", and that's OK. Even better if it can forego all those weird, highly processed ingredients needed to try to give it a semblance of texture, etc.

Not entirely false. Taliban was initially formed by Pushtun students of Pakistan Medrese. By coincidence, they were the core of resistance to the Soviet army.

So, not entirely a time travel case.
I have been involved with plant-based cheese making for the last year or so, and here's my opinion:

This is interesting research, but lab-made cheese is far away from being in the shelves. Producing casein with yeast is one thing, but that doesn't mean you can just make cheese out of it. In cow or goat milk (or sheep milk), there are 4 different casein proteins arranged in micelles together with other molecules. That exact set up is important, because when you add rennet (i.e. mostly the enzyme chymosin) to it for coagulation, it cuts the kappa caseins (which are on the outside of the micelles) at a specific position. That's key to the process that is set in motion after that, leading to the texture, taste and function we know from different cheeses.

Other challenges include the mass production of casein in this way. Cheeses contain typcially between 10-15% protein per weight, so you need to produce a lot of it. This is unlike e.g., Impossible Foods, which also produce heme with yeast, but of course they need much less of it per kg of meat.

We're looking at ways of directly make cheese from plant proteins by finding an enzyme that works similarly how chymosin works with casein. It's not clear if this will work - but if does, it will be a cheaper and simpler process than trying to produce milk synthetically.

That doesn't mean that I dismiss the synthetic casein approach - I think it can work, it's just important to understand that it's not as simple it sounds. In the future, we might see cheeses made with both approaches, maybe each with their pros and cons.
