I used Blender for years in Uni and when I was trying to get my own little game studio going. It was an awesome tool, but (at least at the time) a little overwhelming. Just the amount of things you could do was amazing. And how you could extend it was awesome.

So it makes me very happy to see Apple help fund it.
I’ve been playing with Godot and building small games. Web programming is boring for me.
Which is generally why in other areas a corporation may have its own verification/validation processes, but bring in a 3rd party to audit them. It's a common accounting process.

Although, as we saw with Arthur Anderson, that 3rd party isn't always so neutral. And, by virtue of getting paid by the company, may deliver the results wanted instead of the results that are accurate.
"Aviation Disasters" did a much better episode on it than Frontline.
This is nothing but conjecture, but my suspicion is that neurotically conscientious people are more likely to become vegan, and also more likely to be depressed and anxious.
There are so many jobs right now they wont get filled, so people will have to pay more just to get anyone. Plus people are quitting their jobs to move to new roles and those spaces will need filling.

OTOH there could be a lot of people out of the job market right now which could start looking for work in the new year. And the market could crash.
I do not know if these discussions happened in WA, but WA had one party consent audio recording laws instead of all party consent, then executives would be more wary of instructing underlings to do something illegal.
For my part, I prefer NixOS, too, and it works just fine on a laptop.

However: do-release-upgrade is really conservative about shutting everything down and reversing as much as possible if anything goes wrong. But if you know your way around apt and dpkg and you know how to mount a borked system and chroot it, you don't really need do-release-upgrade. Just manually hack up your apt sources to the next LTS release and use your favorite apt frontend (aptitude is probably best for this) to upgrade and full-upgrade your way through it. Use dpkg with some --force flags if the state of things gets really messed up.
It looks like this is a meta-analysis, and the line "Twenty studies met the selection criteria representing 171,802 participants with 157,778 meat consumers and 13,259 meat abstainers." suggests that this is a post hoc analysis so we can't rule out the most obvious confounding variable: are people who care more about externalities (e.g., as they pertain to meat eating, more likely to be depressed or anxious?
Seems like this has a lot more to do with the type of people who abstain from meat vs those who do--rather than the effects of eating meat.

People who abstain from eating meat due to animal compassion (empathy) might be more susceptible to depression due to their empathetic disposition.
Just to nitpick, you probably mean 'oral'
> A driver's license isn't proof of residence, as you might have moved since you got it.

Slightly tangential, but you are required by law to get a new license when you move to a new state. And the DMV will take your old license when they give you the new one. You can move around within a state and have a stale address on your license pretty easily, though.
Hah I always imagine this is what we will finally determine DNA to mostly be.
I am curious whether it implies causation or just correlation. I can easily explain it away with correlation. Most likely vegans will be people who are quite attuned to somebody else's (including animal) suffering. And the same empathy my guess would cause a higher level of anxiety. (All of this obviously, my guesses and I don't have any data to prove it)
Why do you wish to have 100s of billions of the same species, when its development obviously thwarts the development of all others?
Don't think there is a consensus. We talk to HR / Compensation analysts at companies every week and the consensus is noone knows what's going on / what to do anymore. Companies are scrambling to figure out how much more to pay people so that they can attract the talent they want. Keep in mind the tech industry is supply side constrained (particularly for mid-senior+ talent). As long as that's the case, wages will always go up. The huge immediate increase is due to several macro factors (covid, remote, great resignation, capital flowing into public markets, etc). As those cool, increases may cool down but still trend up likely.
I eat a lot of meat and still suffer from depression and anxiety.
You can eat/use non-vegan vegetarian food and things without hurting animals.

What you describe is more related to industrial production rather than vegetarianism - although I have to admit that it's still on point in this particular discussion.
I like the idea. I get why it initially seems like buying jobs, but it is really just you being allowed to offer a guarantee that your word is backed up by something.
I'd say the first big thing to highlight is that correlation is not causation - you wouldn't want someone to take this study as proof that eating meat makes you less depressed. I would imagine that vegans (in particular vegans who chose their diet on ethical grounds) are overall more concerned about the state of the world around them - or are at least subjected to more of an echo-chamber effect from their peers - which would contribute to anxiety and depression?
I rarely have to think about deserialisation in c# or java either...
This reminds me of why I don't use reddit. I can see not liking this idea, but a subreddit dedicated to recognizing how terrible hiring is should also recognize people working to improve it - even if they aren't at a workable solution yet. Instead, it's just toxic insults, dunks, and preaching to the choir.

On top of this, the criticism from reddit is mostly unfounded and suggests they didn't even bother to read the company's landing page. Multiple redditors say things like "I'd never pay fifty dollars to refer a colleague. What's in it for me?" The landing page clearly states you double your money if they get hired.

Another complaint is that it's racist because black people have black friends and apparently black people can't afford to refer their friends. This complaint relies on a racist argument "black people in general have less money, therefore the black software engineers doing the referrals will have less money." I don't think that's how it works. In the company's model you'd need referrals not from your random friends and acquaintances, but from coworkers who knew you and would be willing to be on you. Presumably your coworkers can come up with fifty dollars.

I think this is a poor idea because it would be awkward to bet on people like this. I'd have to tell my colleagues I didn't think they were good enough to bet on, or bet the minimum, or would I get mad at them if they blew an interview? It's not a good system, but the idea that referrals are broken because they cost nothing to give seems right and it's worthwhile to try and fix important things that are broken.
No, you're putting too much emphasis on Hadley cells. The air patterns are only one part of a very much more complex cycle. As the poster above you noted, for any given amount of water, the amount going into the air in a particular place is influenced by the density of plants. Plants pull water from underground and help evaporate it in one particular place. The evaporated air can then condense and become rain again. Therefore, very dense masses of plants can increase the rate with which water is pulled from the ground and then evaporate and then condenses into rain and then returns to the ground, starting the cycle over again. Remove the trees and you still have Hadley cells, but you won't have a rainforest anymore, if the density of the plants falls below some threshold -- you won't have as much rain, even though the Hadley cell is still there -- you might have the same amount of water, but the speed at which it evaporates, and therefore becomes rain, will be lessened.
He’s taking the tail end of a distribution in one geolocation and translating it to another geolocation, but then associating it with the median of that location. This is a mistake and his estimates are inflated. Of course it’s always easy to sell “you’re underpaid” because everyone likes to hear it. If you’re feeling inadequate, realize this is likely way off the mark.
Yes, a Gibbs/Heaviside “pseudovector” (a.k.a. “axial vector”) is actually a bivector – a magnitude with a planar orientation, rather than linear orientation. Quantities representing a rotation are naturally oriented with a plane of rotation; there is only a unique perpendicular linear “axis” of rotation in 3d space (e.g. in 4D, the subspace fixed under a simple plane-oriented rotation is a perpendicular plane).

When you properly treat bivectors as bivectors instead of cramming both bivectors and vectors down into one type of object, all of the trickiness about sign flips under reflection etc. go away.

Almost every time you see a cross product in a formula, you should really have a wedge product, and the result should be a bivector.

In GA, vector identities all generalize cleanly to any dimension (the trick of representing bivectors as vectors only works in 3D).

Makes me concerned about the pressure to abstain from eating meat that I've been seeing recently. I wonder if, as a species, the trend away from meat eating will be to our collective detriment.
lock out culture and cancel culture divides nations. Segregate, divide, and conquer.
Will see if we can include that in the annual report!
I'm a meat eater but I find these kind of research bound to find such result from the start.

The vast majority of Vegan and vegos people (citation needed) would naturally be more conscious and sensitive than your burger munching to no-tomorrow typical guy/gal.

This kind of caring for the world and information seeking mammal would be naturally more exposed to anxiety. It's bliss to be a chicken nugget munching idiot, not caring about the environment. Other opposite side of the scale, the information seeking sensitive, often misunderstood vegan is very likely to be more sensitive and overwhelmed, leading to anxiety and depression.
exactly. airBnB and Uber are all great on paper.

carpool, but let's call it ride share, because you go there anyway. 5 seconds later it's a billion dollar machine fighting labor laws. while the other one was supposed to be a bit better couch surfing, while you are on a longer vacation, you let someone to vacation at your place, brilliant. 5 minu5 later cities' housing markets are in flames due to tourists due to the induced demand of cheap apartments.

what the fuck.

yeah, hotels and taxi services were awful (both due to fucking NIMBYism of ossified cities that are unable to zone for high density and build transit networks), but the solution should have been something human centered, not startupization of that awfulness and appification of selfishness.

(yes, I used both services.)
I agree with some of the quoted unions/groups: implementation details are too vague.

Pilots and aircrew are not federal employees, do they need to be vaccinated? (I know the answer, but it's addressed poorly by this policy.

There was talk about very strict medical exemptions, which is great as it is otherwise a path ripe for abuse, but I'm hearing that religious exemptions are still being considered.

The unions I've heard about are encouraging religious exemptions and a "take your word for it" proof policy, where your supervisor can ask for evidence but is not required to.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

> as long as there is sunlight and tons of water, they should be fine.

That's completely ridiculous. Plants don't fit your magical conception of them. Talk to any farmer or someone with a degree in forestry. Every species has its preferred temperate zones, moisture, and sunlight requirements. Heck, a gardner will tell you that. Plants need to be pollinated. The pollinators die, the plants die. Plants don't break down dead plants. Fungus, insects, and herbivores do. Those parts of the ecosystem die, plants die too. Throw in invasive species, pests like bark beetles that won't die in winter, and you can absolutely expect forests to collapse. Everything is connected. It's a system with millions of parts. It's already showing signs of abuse. Collapse is starting. Forests are weakening, tree lines are changing, some whole regions are showing signs they may die off. I've seen it with my own eyes in SW Utah. Biologists see climate change happening everywhere. We're looking at vast loss of biodiversity and collapse of ecosystems as things speed up.

> Most people under 50 are not at high risk from COVID

And they're still capable of transmitting COVID to other people at high risk, which will eventually happen with reproduction rate higher than 1. Do you have any suggestions for keeping the reproduction rate lower than 1 other than vaccination? I'm interested.

> The people advocating for mandates are themselves offensive and I think history will prove them to be utter monsters.

Those people are trying to save the community as whole, not just protecting themselves. To give you a data point, Portugal has fully opened the country without any mandates while controlling the disease, thanks to 85% vaccination rate.
Deism?

So how much of this is correlation with people who eat meat a lot having the money to eat meat a lot?
There’s intuitively a link between people who go vegan and are more conscientious leading to higher risks of general anxiety, but that’s my conjecture.
Perhaps if they were to remove the concept of nil in golang, but since they are all about backwards compatibility (which is nice to be fair), I don't think there's much change of seeing mainstream adoption because of how many existing projects will rely on default value in certain circumstances

I'd love to be proven wrong, but even with generics if you start using option types, it's going to be like JS and TypeScript where you'll have some parts nicely typed and others are the wild west
I have no idea what "culturally appropriate food" has to do with this. Food sovereignty means a nation is not dependent on foreign entities for their food supply (or if they are for some elements, e.g. tractors, they can easily find someone else to buy them from). It has nothing to do with culture, and does not prevent India from growing non-local crops - or trading for them.

As for banning (foreign-made) GMOs trapping people in poverty, that's debatable at best. There's considerable evidence that unrestricted free trade hinders economic development [1], by keeping countries from developing their own industries. Every country that has climbed out of poverty so far, has done so without GMOs (granted because they were not widespread at the time, but the same should still be possible today) - and without unrestricted free trade [2].

The comparison with pharmaceuticals is apt. For one, pharmaceuticals don't displace anything, so there is no existing local industry harmed by their import (prior to developing local pharma industry). And if India developed their own GMO industry, you are correct, using those GMOs would not harm their food sovereignty. Of course issues with loss of crop biodiversity and farmers becoming dependent on a single giant (albeit Indian) corporation would remain, but at least viewed on a national level, sovereignty would not be harmed, even if individual farmers would still lose some independence. But at least the entities they became dependent on would be within their democratic reach.

And regarding how natural GMOs vs. pharmaceuticals are - I was not making an appeal to nature, so that is irrelevant. For the sake of argument, lets say they are equally unnatural.

Because they can also vote in their state of residency. You can't be eligible to vote in two places.

The fact that MA will conscript nonresidents for jury duty is morally wrong, but besides the point.
I was initially concerned that you were comparing a single well to an entire industry, but I did the math and while it does add up, the emissions are still small by comparison. 80,000 (possible wells) * 10.02 (grams per hour) * 8,766 (hours in a year) = 7,026,826,600 grams per year from uncapped wells, which is 0.006% of 17 trillion.

That said... the difference to me is that in exchange for those livestock emissions, we get, well, food! I totally respect vegans, but personally, I do quite like milk and cheese.

By contrast, what good is coming from these spent oil wells?!

To be fair, I'm ok acknowledging that it is complicated. And I wouldn't have been shocked to be wrong.
It was your “civic duty” to rat out your neighbors, too. Your framing something as the moral position does absolutely nothing to make it so
It unbalances access to jobs by family wealth and creates yet another:tm: skip annoying thing if you are rich enough and/or have enough friends who are rich enough.
Somebody coming out of a life hiccup like family issues or health issues is gonna have a harder time skipping the interview while also having a harder time interviewing.

The return on investment aspect could just get gamed by companies being excessively selective on which candidates they allow to stay past 2 months.

And finally it extends the worse thing that exists in our society: "It's easier to make money if you have money."

This is what creates and enforces our class system, this is what makes it harder for historically disadvantaged groups to get ahead, and such a product would just extend this.
Interesting suspicion. What atypical mind states are associated with meat eating?

It would have to be a very large effect given 95‰ of the US eats meat. I think the opposite is more likely. Atypical mind states are associated with veganism and the mood disorders.
I type f, see Facebook, hit enter, and by the time I hit enter, Firefox swapped the history result with some search autocomplete that's not helpful at all.
Not to boil down a technical topic into something small, but...

IMO eating meat is something that is considered a societal norm, where it is the abnormal to not eat meat at all. Generally, doing things that the rest of society also does would lead to greater outcomes in terms of fitting in and following the herd.

That's not to say that doing things that society normally does won't lead to mental health impacts.

But eating food is such a social aspect of our lives that we do every day, having to consider dietary impacts each time you eat with other people would surely push my anxiety up. Especially if it was driven based on principle.
Your options for being able to exit Canada now are severely restricted if you are unvaccinated, particularly if you cannot enter the US. It appears you will need to charter a private plane or ship to emigrate. I suspect the right to emigrate (a human right according to the UN) will be further restricted by authoritarian regimes around the world such as the one running Canada.
DevTools Protocol Changes
The critical difference is that an Option<T> is not a T, but a nil pointer is still a pointer.

The stylistic difference is that the Rust type is semantic: your optional values are Options. The Go type is silly: why does being a pointer (which is allowed to be nil) imply required?
As a job candidate I would consider doing this.

As a former colleague I would consider staking somebody.

As a hiring manager, I would not do this. It’s just too weird. Hiring is hard enough.

Seems like there’s opportunity for tighter integration with the compiler where serde moves into the compiler or there are acceleration primitives rather than doing the AST macros thing. This sounds similar to the problems of c++ template bloat.
> If you want to run an Ubuntu LTS system then I suggest that you do your hacking inside containers (whether system containers like lxd, or app containers like Docker). Then you won't need to hack up your system itself, and then upgrades will generally work fine.

Configuring additional apt sources isn't hacking anything up. It's utilizing the normal functionality of your operating system's package manager. It's part of the point of using an operating system with uniform and sane tools for managing software.

ctrl+k and I know I'll be searching in a web search engine
ctrl+l and I know I'll be opening an URL and if the domain doesn't exist it will fail

I can't really count anymore how often omnibar just searched for some local domain I tried to type in, in a search engine, instead of just telling me that domain doesn't exist because I made a typo or whatever.

Having to type https:// in front of every URL is also not very pleasant, especially on mobile phones.

Also browsers assuming that anything outside of PSL is to be searched in a search engine right away instead of resolved as a domain, is another annoyance for this user. At least the browser could be less stupid and consider local search domains part of PSL, but no.

So whether omnibar is more of a hindrance than help depends on the user/use case.

I also kinda like the distinction that ctrl+l is only searching locally in bookmarks/history and ctrl+k is public search.
One thing worth noting is this appears to be entirely correlation, not causation.

It's possible that it is not diet, but an additional factor. For example, perhaps people who are worried about their impact on the world are more likely to be depressed and also more likely to be vegetarian/vegan.

If that were the case, it's plausible that the same person, even if they ate meat, would have an identical chance of being depressed.

Another thing to note is that they did not control for anything except sex. My, not totally scientific, observation is that depression and anxiety is more prevalent in people under a certain age, as is concern about the environment, as is veganism. I'd be curious if controlling for age made any difference. Maybe it's just millennials are just a both more-depressed and more-vegetarian cohort.

Levels of meat consumption are also linked to location, and I think depression might be too. I'd be curious if controlling for location made any difference. Maybe people living in big cities are both more likely to be vegetarian (due to restaurants catering to more dietary preferences due to mass of people) and more likely to be depressed.

I personally like the original theory I proposed. Someone who is self-conscious about their existence is more likely to be worried about the environment (especially their personal impact), is more likely to be vegetarian, and also is more likely to be depressed.

I think we need either a proposed nutritional link / mechanism, or a controlled study in which people's diets were changed, to draw the conclusion the title implies.
