So, a better calendar than ours :(
choosing what you grow would be incredibly important. I've calculated the yield of most vegetables and fruits per square foot and I can tell you there's quite a bit of variability. At the top of the list you have Cassava, Yuca, Sweet potatoes, potatoes and surprisingly: Sunflowers. Dont forget about sunflowers. first of all, sunflowers grow up and thus take up vertical space instead of horizontal space. what makes them so incredibly high yield is this one thing most gardeners overlook: Most vegetables and fruits have a caloric density of about 0.2 to 0.8 with potatoes being 0.8. Sunflowers, as a seed are 5.7 cals per gram because their mostly fat! So, you get 10 times the yield per gram for sunflower seeds than fruits and veggies. And, even better, sunflowers are actually very dense with minerals and vitamins. And, not only that, but sunflowers can pass mustard with even the most greedy HOAs as most people consider sunflowers decoration and not food.

Another way to calculate yield would be based on the amount of time or water it takes to grow each thing.

Also, don't overestimate protein. People don't know because it's never marketed but actually, the vast majority of plant based foods already contain quite a bit of protein in them, much more than you need to survive. I've done a bunch of calculations already about the amount of protein per 200 cals or 3000 cals: https://kale.world/very-highest-protein-foods-from-each-food...
I responded to the other comment too, but:

> Yes MicroG is open source, but they probably had to reverse engineer something.

MicroG being open source is irrelevant. The relevant point is that google play services is not, so MicroG devs could not have copied source from it. Besides the fact that the API used by other programs to interact with play services is public and that the team had no access to the play services source code US law also has a specific carve out for "interoperability" which might (I'm guessing) apply here. Google has already spent many years and many millions in court arguing that an API is not copyrightable.

IANAL but it seems hard to argue that this would be an easy legal case.
As the parent of a child who is gifted at math this is wrong on so many levels, I’ll just state one. My kid only has so much time he can genuinely focus on “school work” in a day, why should he be forced to spend “school” time on things wildly beneath his level and then come home and spend his own time on additional “school” type work?
A reflection of the electorate. There are enough dummies in California who feel the need to cry out through political power.
You just reminded me, the other day I learned that Bill Gates, a man who could presumably have any watch in the world he wanted, has (or had recently) a $50 quartz diver made by Casio on his wrist. It’s actually a pretty nice-looking watch, too (Casio Duro)
I think that's likely a very rosey interpretation of history. In times of strife, and war, "protecting each other" and "fighting the enemy" are synonymous. Warrior cultures, past and present, generally have a fairly well defined escalation of force, which includes the time to fight and de-escalation.
They are not out of practice, they were just/are in Syria etc.

They are out-gunned, because Ukraine is being helped by NATO.

Russia was robbed by Putin, and the military was casualty of this corruption.
I work at a company with a large Ruby monolith and it’s a disaster.

If you’re face deep in the Ruby ecosystem then I’m sure it makes sense, but trying to build services alongside it is truly awful.

You want a scalable system that’s easy to write and will grow with you? Write basic Go services.
>to dumb down math in high school?

There's a lot of competing / strange interests in school systems that can have well intended but BIZARRE outcomes.

My wife works in early childhood education. At one point it was recognized that the early childhood department should be more involved in helping students with learning disabilities as soon as possible. There was lots of outreach to parents to get them into free classes and education, and most importantly screening so they could get free services if they qualified / needed them.

However, it was noticed at some point by some very vocal parents that some students with specific backgrounds were refereed to these services more than others. These services were provided in and out of school, the kids weren't moved to another school or anything like that, but despite all their efforts... The result was deemed to be some sort of bias, or outright racism.

Therefore it was made very clear that they could not disproportionately "single out" students of some backgrounds for these services, that are free, to help them learn.
This is not correct, we do not track our users. This post refers to a privacy feature that actually prevents your searches from leaking to the sites you click on, generally in very old browsers that need to use our non-JavaScript site (http://duckduckgo.com/html). See https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/rd.... From the page:

**

When you click on a link in our results page, your search terms are not sent to the site that you click on, which can be the case on other search engines due to something called HTTP "referers".

On modern browsers we accomplish this by adding a small piece of code to our page called Meta referrer. Some browsers (especially older ones) do not support this standard, however. For those browsers, and also in situations where meta referrer doesn't work, we send the request back to our servers to remove search terms. This redirect goes through r.duckduckgo.com.

You can disable this privacy feature. To do that, go to the settings page, select Privacy, and change the option Redirect to Off.

My personal experience (myself and my social group) suggests there's serious brain drain.

All my peers who started their careers with Rails that know it like the back of their hands have zero desire to ever work with it again professionally. They're all exceptional engineers who had no problems picking up/migrating to Scala/Rust without productivity loss.

On the other side, I see all the upcoming engineers that missed the initial Rails popularity wave. To them, Rails is often times much more frustrating than TS/Python offerings. There's very little freely available quality onboarding materials, getting the environment set up is incredibly frustrating with how fickle bundler has become, and deployments are still complicated.

My take is Rails is good for those who already know Rails, since the stability of it lets seasoned Rails developers carry forward all their experience. But for someone without that history, TS/Python frameworks offer a much faster/smoother onboarding process, especially with the massive familiarity advantage devs already have with Python/JS from schooling/web.

If you're going to go out of the way to learn a new language, why would you learn one that occupies the same space as one you already know?
D should worry less how great language it is, focus on fixing long standing DIPs and compiler bugs, and actually have an ecosystem that makes it worthwhile using in the industries where C++ is the first choice.

A famous example of this that absolutely blew my mind is Uğur Şahin.

For those not familiar, he is the founder of BioNTech, the German researchers who developed Pfizer's SARS-COV2 mRNA vaccine.

Uğur moved from Turkey to Germany at age 4. At the end of primary school his teacher had assigned him to 'hauptschule'. It was only because of a neighbour's intervention that he was later put through 'Gymnasium' i.e. on track to study 'higher' studies.

The rest is history, after med school he did a doctorate in Imunotherapy, he founded a 18billion revenue biotech company and saved countless lives with what we now call the Pfizer mRNA covid vaccine.

Had that primary teacher's decision been held it really would have been a 'butterfly effect' of catastrophic proportions for Humanity.
None of the companies he's run have been tech companies, much less ad-revenue social media platforms: they are manufacturing companies with tech valuations. And the software from them is not good.
> To make a random graph, take a biased coin — one that lands on heads with a probability of 1%, or 30%, or any other percentage between zero and 100 — and flip it

Nooooo!!!! This is impossible. You can bias dice but not coin to flip.
I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. The job that the administrator is hired for is “make Black and White test scores identical.” With only the leverage of the school, and no broader socioeconomic levers, the only way to make this happen is to reduce all assessment to 1+1=? (Multiple choice)
Homebrew isn't any better on macOS. Why people use it instead of MacPorts is beyond me.
No good deed goes unpunished. So it probably wouldn’t work. America already helped Africa with so much aide, but didn’t market the help nearly as much as China did, so it is already forgotten.

Because the litigation and antitrust lawsuits were to do with the bundling of IE and the coercion Microsoft applied against OEMs.

> 1. [All humans are of equal ability] is a founding principle of the country, so...

curious to learn how you arrived at this conclusion?
This bit us in a recent project where we have very long ongoing downloads, where even a very high grace period wouldn't really help.

I wonder whether it's technically generally feasible (possibly depends on net/http2's capabilities) to handover the connection from the old to the new server instance, comparable to what systemd does in terms of FD passing for socket-activated services.
I would assume the main use would be to see people you know, not to enhance yourself, but, I guess there would be a market for that too. Especially for content producers.
What people call watchmaking is actually usually watch assembling/repairing. As you say, you would need to be a good part of an entire supply chain to be able to make a watch in any real sense.

> (and having their teachers be afraid of math)

This is a huge part of the issue I feel. I know way too many elementary school teachers who are afraid of math themselves and struggle to understand it. Is it any wonder the kids they teach don't? It causes big problems when they get to me for mathematics in high school.
I 100% agree with your first part, but offer a slightly different conclusion - Ruby on Rails heavily skews to small startups (for various reasons not worth getting into here). Startups also tend towards Senior engineers, because they don't have the bandwidth to train junior engineers. So those recruiters are often looking for "Senior Rails" engineers which is even harder to find.

If the above is correct, it presents an interesting question to junior engineers: is it worth it to learn Ruby on Rails as a junior engineer? While there are advantages to learning Rails (it's heavily opinionated, what you learn maps very well to what professional projects look like), there is more job supply in the "python + LeetCode" path (how that relates to competition - who knows).
You can just take it into a shop and have it regulated, won't take more than a few minutes and it will be good as new again.
Exactly, as a society, we should be glad sacrificial optimists exist for the benefit their sacrifice randomly provides to society. But we also shouldn't scorn the pessimist for the simple fact that they understand how randomness works.
1. This is kind of a founding principle of the country, so...

Is it? Saying "all mean are created equal" has a lot of interpretations, of which many valid ones do not include "all men are born of equal ability in every regard." Given that some people are born to grow up to be 5'4 and weigh 100lbs and others are born to grow up to 6'7 and 320lbs, it should be clear that not everyone is "equal" at least in terms of their physical abilities. I'm pretty sure the Founders were aware of this, making it highly unlikely that their version of "created equal" meant "exactly equal in all terms of ability."
What's the market share for Firefox ?

I think that should answer the question about whether it's FUD or not.

That is pretty insulting to those of us with autism who manage not to be giant tools. Probably because we weren't born rich & don't get to live consequence-free.
1. Appreciate your perspective on this. We're really giving people credits to write services. A number of people have already done so. I'm trying to get more and more people to help us build. Always looking for better ways to introduce that to people.

2. Paragraph above mentions. Rapidapi has thousands of APIs. Often duplication across many of them. We're very much focused on curation and one of each building block. Hopefully less choice means more productivity since you don't have to spend so much time figuring out which API to use. We also define our own APIs and client libraries whereas rapidapi is more of a proxy.

Brain Drain:

Set aside any issues with employees not wanting to work for a Musk-run Twitter if they believe would be more toxic. I would still expect a lot of employees to look for the exit right now.

First is simply the uncertainty involved: Large restructuring, reassignments, or layoffs could occur and it's always nicer to find a new job before you begin to hate your old one or lose it all together.

Second is compensation: Equity via stock options or awards boosts total compensation, but it's much more complicated in private companies. There's been a commitment to the same benefit plan for the next year, but beyond that no new ones can be issued after the deal closes until Musk decides what they will look like. If he doesn't commit to keeping a similar vesting & award schedule then it will be a problem. Then there's liquidity. You can't sell private equity the same way you can with a public company. Again, if Musk doesn't commit to preserving the same liquidity as employees would have in a public company by allowing stock sales back to the company at-will then it will be a downgrade in compensation.

SpaceX uses an internal market to provide liquidity to employees for this, but Twitter will be more uncertain. It will depending on how many current investors decide to stick around & their appetite for increasing their shares. SpaceX is also on a strong growth track, giving awards & options a likely increased value in the future while Twitter is on much more uncertain footing, especially with Musk emphasizing that it's not an economic investment for him. A stock grant equal to $50k today at SpaceX might grow to $100k by the time an employee wants to sell, whereas the same grant at Twitter may not have the same expected growth.

It will also be difficult to hire new people until this is settled. Anyone accepting a job right now will have no idea when or how they'll be able to cash in any stock compensation promised in the benefits package.

As for the ideological issues, that may balance out. People leaving for such reasons by could be offset by new employees seeking jobs because they like the new content direction, although the extra churn will still make operations more turbulent for some time.
This is untrue: I regularly deal with companies forcing people and other companies to use Chrome on Windows and such. Your lack of experiencing it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

But you're also missing the point: Without Safari, there's no longer further incentive for Google to participate in the web standards process, over just forcing people to use Chrome.
Apple is building a web browser engine, Google is building a sandboxed application runtime - that happens to be a web browser engine superset.
As a software engineer, I wish I had learned stats instead of calculus. Some exposure would have been great, but the high school & university requirements were way off target wrt its usefulness in computer science. It was a painful process of learning, failing, and re-taking calculus, squeaking by, only to never use it again. I was a straight-A student otherwise.
Calculus is critically essential for learning many later math fields, and many important topics. Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Aerospace, etc. There is a lot of very critical fields to modern society that requires knowledge of calculus. You can't build a modern bridge without calculus.
MCAP: A container file format for pub/sub messages with arbitrary serialization
It's a system for automating learning.

You have thirty books. Instead of taking a month for each book, getting value sequentially, you read all thirty books at the same time, with the software splitting it up for you into tiny pieces, so you can soak them all in and get lots of knowledge simultaneously, rather than the sort of limited, controlled drip of knowledge from an individual work.

It's surprisingly useful for things like language learning, where you don't really start with much understanding but books intend for your ability to change while reading; that said, the author uses it for everything he consumes, even email.

It's pretty interesting, if you're of the belief that knowledge compounds, or if you just don't really have the patience or attention span for individual works. Certainly isn't for everyone, and if you aren't willing to make your own tooling, the existing tooling is pretty bad.
I'm in the US, and advocate for regulation in the US. I do not care about marketshare in the rest of the world, and neither does the FTC. The only statistic that matters in this case is that iOS has 60% of the marketshare in the US, and what happens in other countries is irrelevant.

1. So the country is founded on a lie or you misread that founding principle.

Those compound advantages you're talking about are good things that we want people to have because they help them do more good for society. You seem to want to handicap them in the name of fairness. Where does that thinking end when you realize that the founding assumption (1. above) is false? Disfiguring beautiful people to prevent them accumulating the compounding advantages that come with beauty? Brain damaging intelligent people?

As in will you find plenty of recruiters hunting for Rails developers? Absolutely. I've seen plenty of startups locally (Salt Lake/Provo) that are green-fielding with Rails. I've also seen later-stage startups that are transitioning their Rails monoliths to Elixir - and they're trying to hire folks that are willing to work on 4 year old Rails monoliths. That's not a bad thing is Rails is your thing.

I enjoyed Ruby as a language quite a bit. Having experienced some of Rails' scaling issues, I doubt I'd personally pick it for my next startup. I know time to market is vastly more important than scale, but it's also not hard to pick a different tech that DOES scale easier.

So, yes, there will be plenty of Rails projects to work on for the foreseeable future. The only concern I'd have is if you're being asked to work on a very old code base. That can get really hairy, really quickly. But that's the case with any language/stack.
