as long as you take vitamins B12, D and some iron, you should be fine.

but having been meat eaters for 2.4 million years will be hard to shake off.

if anything eating beef will increase in the future as more and more people rise to the “middle class”. we should probably take this into consideration and it’s implications, no matter how you feel about the subject.

I think this is one of those "YMMV" things. For us, in an 60-ish year-old 4br house, we'd get occasional drop-outs, as well as relatively poor (~25MBps) performance.

For my BIL, in a newer house with his Xbox and the router on the same circuit, it's rock solid.

Snap is horrible.

The software required for running a Snap Store instance is proprietary [0], and there are no free software implementations as far as I know. Also, the default client code hardcodes [1] Canonical snap store, so you have to patch and maintain your own version of snapd if you want to self-host.

Snapd also hardcodes auto-updates that are also impossible to turn off without patching and maintaining your own version of snapd / blocking the outgoing connections to Canonical servers, so snapd is also horrible for server environments. To top that, the developers have this "I know what's good for you, you don't" attitude [2] that so much reminds me of You Know Who.

Ask HN: Should I fake a blog posts published date/time?
I’ve been meaning to create a tech blog for a long time. Would it be unethical to fudge the published date on some blog posts I wrote but never publishe ( because I had no blog ). For example I wrote a post about my presentation at Oracle Open World in 2018…. But it would seem weird if I wrote about my 2018 presentation in 2022. What’s everyone’s thoughts on fudging the date on my blog ( IE say the post was written in 2018 )?

Re: the remark in the bracket

The analogy is a bit stretched, but I think it's due to both being described by systems of equations, in a sense.
Yes. And if someone is curious why are we using solid fueled rockets in this application:

The big benefit of solid fueled rockets is that they are very reliable, and require no maintenance. They are basically a big “candle” composed of a mix of fuel and oxidizer. You can lit it a day after it was made or twenty years later it will work the same.

The liquid fueled options have valves and other moving parts which can jam, corrode and degrade with time. So it would require frequent maintenance and would still be likely less reliable than the solid fueled variety.
I didn't even read the article. The reason is that it depends what you need to do, from there you should decide what's the best tool to solve something. Recently I've started to automate all the package installations and configurations for some of the machines I have. I can't even imagine doing that in Python despite I've been using Python for a long time. I don't know that much about bash, but I got everything I needed and expected from bash scripts for the task I needed to do.

Yes, there are moments when you try to solve something in bash that you think is trivial in other languages but with bash is painful. Few days ago tried to test if a value is present in a bash array using a function. Couldn't get it working after trying few things. Then I realized I could perform a very similar (and good enough) check just seeing if a directory and a file do exist in my relative path to the script I was running: `if [-d DIR ] && [ -f FILE ]; then ...`.

So I needed to change my mindset a bit. Another example of where bash is really good is for tiny small tasks: I wrote a small script to increase/decrease volume that is coupled in i3 and calls the `mixer` command in FreeBSD. Works perfectly and never touched once it was working. Another one: I get an acoustic alert when my battery drops down below certain percentage. And a couple more: set a random background every time I log in to i3, download a page for offline reading.

Again, doing any of these things (or similar ones) with something different than bash (or maybe your favorite shell lang) seems like picking up the wrong tool for the job. There was a time when I cursed shell scripting a lot and that was because I couldn't see when to use shell scripting.

EDIT: Paragraph spacing.
I think we are agreeing here. I was pointing out that baby cows don't immediately die after drinking from their mothers teat, so the same would probably hold for humans.

I'm not naive, I've actually built IntelliJ plugins. I know engineers that work on the product, and I have an extremely good idea what it's doing under the hood. A lot of it is important to me and doesn't exist in VSCode, though that's also a great product for some languages.
As the parent said, if Crypto ever became a threat to government control of their economies it will be regulated. In fact the blockchain protocol provides the audit trail to enable the regulation.

Any anonymous chains like Monero will be blacklisted and only exist in an island where its economy is limited to certain illegal commodities, with the off ramp to wash it clean complex.

I don't want some unknown group of Crypto Bros completely outside my control running the economy of my country. At least in a democracy the people have some control.

But some analogies aren't relevant. :)

Taking a retrospective look could in fact be argued to be optimistic. It means we can learn from our past mistakes and do better in the future. In other words, take the idea that we have the capacity to change for the better and not the capacity to get worse. I view the "whelp, this is the best we could do" approach to be pessimistic. A retrospective isn't trivializing anything. It should be: we did something bad, we've corrected for it, don't over congratulate and act like our hands are fully clean, ask ourselves how we can prevent this in the future in other endeavors. We will never be proactive problem solvers of downstream problems created by our immediate solutions as a species if we don't address these ideas and perspectives. We'll just keep rinsing and repeating.

Do you view team retrospectives in industry as "negative reinforcers"?

> If enough voices sound like yours, that leads to doing less.

I highly disagree because you seem to continue to be misinterpreting the "voicing". It isn't about being negative. It's about being honest.

Anyway, this is gone down a diversion. Just trying to provide a perspective of reframing in that we have the capacity, at least I hope we do, to prevent the need for these scrambles in the future. For the third time, it's really great this is being done and hopefully propagates to other areas that likely desperately need them.

Edit: It should be clear, but I'm referring to we as a collective. And it's almost always more expensive and difficult to retroactively fix things. I'm saying take this good development, which it is, and proactively apply its ideas to new projects.
> It's helpful architecturally to have a distinction between on-disk structures (which you're careful about either not changing or migrating) and in-memory structures (which don't) rather than trying to freeze or migrate everything.

That's true, but syncing between the database and in memory data structures is tedious. Imagine building an application and never having to worry about storage. Just instantiate and reference objects and you're set. When working with lots of data, the OS would just swap things in on demand. That would save a lot of development time for many types of applications.

But yes, there would be some big challenges regarding application updates and how not to destroy all data with a trivial bug. (A misplaced `customers = []` might be all it takes to permanently wipe all data. Perhaps this idea should be combined with immutable data structures and versioning.)

[Edit] After some more consideration: what I'm talking about feels more like a language feature than something the operating system can/should do.
Yeah, vm options tweaks still don't cut it for me on my projects, and I've optimized pretty hard. Threading is the killer, esp. when connecting to other processes it can get all tangled up.
Are you sure that is raw milk in the machines? In my country "fresh milk" is pasteurized. Note that pasteurized milk tastes better than sterilized milk and still needs to be refrigerated.
This is my takeaway too. Want to do business at a country where this is normal? You either play this game, or do do business there with a serious disadvantage. In this regard, it's not that different from visiting places like this as a tourist. Where bribes are common with border guards, cops stopping you in the middle of nowhere, etc you either go there and pay the bribes, or don't visit at all.
Your sentence is illogical and reveals a lack of understand for the underlying biological processes.

There is no such natural hormonal cycle for men, that regulates their fertility.

Yes, it often also boils down to giving it just a bit more of "care" (time, money) when producing and consuming.

This extends to other related topics as well. For example I had a colleague who went vegan and this meant she actually started to cook and care about the meals. This opened up a whole new dimension to life. I guess much depends also on where you happen the live and/or be brought up, and how strong the food culture is.
As an IT OS Coach, it just irks me when people don't understand how to use their OS properly and blame the 'system'; people forget how the before-times were, when you had an OS thrown on your hands and had to waste precious time learning to use it.
No, there is no mesh. A NeRF is a neural network trained to work as a function f(x, y, z, θ, φ). You put in your viewing position (x, y, z) in 3D space and the direction (θ, φ) you're looking into (where θ and φ are the angles for up/down and left/right, respectively), and the function will output a tuple (r, g, b, σ) of the colour (r, g, b) and the material density (σ) of whatever you see at the pixel in that direction and from that position.

You can generate a mesh from the density information this function gives you, but for that you need to discretise the continuous densities you get out.

People bring this up, but like, is eating dog okay? Even if you say yes, is factory farming them okay? Is eating human okay? No - just because we may have had meat in our diet for millions of years doesn't mean we have to choose the most advanced life to factory farm and eat. We certainly have more reservations against eating certain kinds of meat than can be explained purely from an evolutionary perspective - and that aspect should be expanded to cover more species. Plenty of Westerners will be outraged when the Japanese slaughter a whale but seem fine with the immense suffering in the farms in their own country. I don't think this can be reconciled if people knew just what actually went on.

I'll note that personally I don't shame people for eating meat - that's just not a nice way to live and leads to immense resentment. I do think people are making the wrong choice here though.

yeah python (and before perl with cpan) had these issues that maintaining a consistent system is more effort than writing the damn thing in the first place. I loved Perl but tried to avoid modules like the plague. And python is almost worse because the same mentality (avoid modules) was abandoned by most of the community so now you get incompatibilities with what the OS provides and what gets installed via pip.

Perhaps it's unfair to pick at python for this when many of these issues are not the language but because people picking python when they should have just used shell script.
The key difference is that this TensoRF is discrete (like a JPG) whereas NeRFs are continuous (like vector graphics).

it’s 4 years behind schedule, 2 of those were covid. not bad, not good.

crossrail was the biggest european construction project. huge undertaking, and with only 4 years behind schedule. for a western project this is pretty good actually.
