Apple isn’t an EU company so they get regulated hard.

Volkswagen was pumping tons of NOx into the air in EU cities for years and regulators there rolled over and looked the other way the whole time. But in the US they got regulated hard.
Normally it comes out of grass. But the public here seem to assume the only option is to put animals in a building and feed them corn.

In this case, you might as well stop eating animal protein, if you can't make it work for you.

The markets can't solve problems due to lack of critical resources. Market theory rests on the assumption that all needed resources are readily available. Demand can be met my using capital to create more manufacturing facilities. Remove that assumption and market theory essentially collapses.

Where market theory can still save the day is finding alternatives. If a key resource needed for the production and distribution of goods is missing then market forces will tend to produce an alternative. That works so long as an actual replacement exists and the cost of the replacement is in line with the original. Water is an irreplaceable resource - if you don't have water and you need it for production then you're pretty much screwed. The market won't "solve" that problem for you. If, as in this case, you need fertilizer then there may be an alternative but it may take several years to ramp up the production of that alternative and that alternative may be considerably more expensive than the original. This scenario leads to food shortages, food insecurity, and spiraling food costs. The market can't prevent these realities.

In short, markets are just a tool and like all tools you need to understand their usefulness and limitations.
CRPG video games are also having a bit of a renaissance right now.

Between Obsidian (Pillars of Eternity), Larian (Divinity Original Sin, Baldurs Gate 3), and Owlcat (Pathfinder WOTR) it's a good time to be a CRPG fan and the genre seems quite popular.
Weird how this Donbas includes parts that are very much pro Ukrainian. Russia doesn't leave room for neutrality on it's border. Especially not if you can't leverage another power like China or aren't willing to militarise completely.

Also I'd suggest you don't use independent. They went away from claiming that and it's not like the veneer of it in Transnistria and South-Ossetia was much better. The ethnic cleansing projects there went a lot smoother for Putin tho. Do they care so much about Armenia independence too?

And yeah let northern Ireland have it's independence if a vote goes that way imo.

By looking like you're not "gaming" your profile, you're gaming your profile. This is like saying you don't like people who care so much about how they look, yet you bathe, don't wear rags, etc. It's human nature to care about presentation and optimize for how we present ourselves.

Whether consciously or not, you're still playing the game if you're out dating. You're trying to get the best mate you possibly can while others are doing the same. You're not dating the ugliest, stupidest, most boring, low-status people you can find, even though that would be easiest. Welcome to the game.
CIA Launches Tor Site (2019)
>Another 14% come from grains and other food that could have been eaten by people. But altogether this less than a quarter of the calories livestock consume.

Are you wholly unfamiliar with feedlots? 50% + of the bodyweight of the bulk of cattle in the world comes when they live on a feedlot, where they get 5.5 to 6.5 pounds of feed, via trough, to raise them from 600-900 pounds up to the slaughter weight of 1250-1350 pounds.

Corn (dent, which is still usable for human foodstuffs but is mostly just grown for animal feed) is widely used on the feed lot because you don't need 5.5-6.5 pounds per pound of beef, you only need 2.07-2.24 pounds per pound of slaughter weight. Each pound of dent corn yields about 1,566 kcals so you're trading 3241+ kcal of (fertilized) corn crop for 800-1250 kcals of beef.

So for 1 acre of corn you need 40 to 50 pounds of nitrogen, 1 acre of corn. For the 2020 crop year, USDA estimates U.S. corn yield to be 181.8 bushels per acre. 1 bushel is 56 pounds. So to finish 1 cow to slaughter weight, assuming it's pasture fed to 600 pounds, you're looking at roughly 2.9 pounds of nitrogen fertilizer.

So roughly 2.9 pounds of nitrogen, 1345 pounds of corn, and then factor in the water which is 1-2 gallons per 100 pounds of of bodyweight per day times 12-36 months depending on what fat content is desired in the meat.

Again, we can use less fertilizer, reduce water usage, and better use some current cropland (75+ million acres in the United States alone) for crops intended for human consumption, drastically reduce the risk of new diseases by eliminating hundreds of millions of chronically stressed animal hosts, and to simply restore of them to native species in an area and reduce all of the negative environmental impacts of farming in those areas (runoff, soil depletion, loss of native habitats).
Do you have any evidence to support that claim?

These are just rough estimates and can be wildly inaccurate (just like in the OSX post we're discussing). AFAIK there's no facility for actual measurement.

Are you certain these are actual meters and not just estimates done in software?

I personally think this is probably the right decision, however I hope banks still offer both Apple Pay and their own option. Being able to switch cards from within the wallet app is a much better experience than having to open another banking app (and potentially having to sign in to that app), or having to change the default system payments app to use the card I want.

Although I live in the UK so this probably won't affect me.
College was 30+ years ago for me. I have one tight friend still from those days. That's it.

In my first 10 years post-college I was way tighter with four or five more college friends. But like so many others have noted here, they all moved to distant corners, got into their careers, and started families. All of our lives got full and we became less connected with time.
So far at posting time I don't see a whole lot of signal to gain from the noise here if I were legitimately someone who had zero agriculture experience and was trying to gain understanding.

This is the blind leading the blind, and if you gleaned much from the top comments you'd be worse informed than not reading this entire thread. Half of the posts are just political using couched language to pretend they aren't.

Ag is definitely one of HNs blind spots, usually the topics are simply amusing (e.g. urban food production startups burning millions of VC) - but this is the first actually "substantive to humanity topic" I've read through and the results are a little scary.

And heck, I'm probably contributing to this noise since I also haven't stepped foot on a farm or market garden in well over a decade.
> It still has its own totally esoteric custom language, it still discourages globbing source files and requires re-running upon adding any file

We use cmake, with Windows as our main (but not the only) target platform. We found that not globbing is slow and impractical for us.

1. We generate VS project files, which then guides the build process. When you add source files using the IDE, the generated project(s) will be updated, no regenerate is triggered, the build system will do the correct thing: only the added file, not everything is (re-)built.

2. If we didn't glob, then given the nice local workflow above, people would often forget to update the cmake files and get CI failures.

3. When injecting cmake regeneration into the build process, then for some strange reason we found a bad serialization of build steps, which slows everything down.

4. The slow part on Windows seems to be that cmake has to use some system call to figure out if source file name casing is correct, which is very slow (for us the slowest part of the generation process by far). I don't recall the details here, but I think globbing somewhat reduces this issue.

All in all, I can say: figure out what works best for you and don't trust experts that discourage globbing altogether.
On some fronts. Im envious of their out of the box experience for beginners. Eg Their docs are nicer, and DrRacket seems very cool. (Emacs + Sly/Slime are nice, but very alien to the uninitiated)

Obviously CL is going to win wrt perf. and interactivity.
Perhaps the question you should ask is: What would exist instead if Apple didn't exist. If you are imagining no tech companies at all, then obviously this is worse. If the answer is a lot of smaller tech companies all competing with each other, then this may be a much better situation.

There’s someone in Pittsburgh on L3 (entry level) at Google, earning $158K total compensation. https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Pittsburgh...

That’s substantially below what Google usually pay for entry level, $195K but that’s the joy of living in the Midwest, right?

I have zero friends from my university courses. Also have a PhD. My friends I made during that time were my neighbors in my ghetto and my online friends and punk rockers. I have no nostalgia for my university days. Part of why I was not so popular in uni is because I was incredibly poor but also refused to take loans. Anyone else like me?
We need the transcontinental pipeline to push water to where it needs to be.

Or agriculture needs to move to where the water is.
Ah... On the "men...want..." part, are you interested in what actual individual human men really want? Or just in a very simplistic, macho stereotype - which few men are likely to voice disagreement with, when it is repeatedly and forcefully voiced, in the context of a society where men often face harsh punishments (social and/or physical) for having non-conformist feeling on subjects like sex. And generally worse if they actually try to voice those feelings.
Me too. On my systems, running Debian with dwm, a Kitty terminal appears instantly. It’s the fastest terminal I’ve ever used, by a big margin, including xterm. The fact that I can do things such as ssh into a remote machine and see an image in that machine’s filesystem displayed in the terminal are bonuses. I mainly use it because of its speed and Unicode support.
You can delete the name/directory entry, but the file remains allocated and in use as long as any program holds it open. So how useful the POSIX behavior is, is debatable.
I use to play some games with classmates in free-time between classrooms and we use a free online leaderboard app https://trackscore.online where we keep track of our score and results but the tool doesn't give us the hand to edit the leaderboard columns in order to add some extra detail and metric that should be tracked during the game!
However, I mostly enjoy using it and it serves almost all our need for the matter and it's free ^^
This seems like a good reason to strongly regulate big companies in general. If that discourages there from being big companies then that seems like it might be a good thing.
You don't need pandas to do chaining. It's a one-liner in pure python: https://github.com/tpapastylianou/chain-ops-python

Not to mention, it's a lot more debuggable this way (which is generally the biggest downside to most specialised chaining approaches).
> For the purpose of this comment here and now, green beans are hand-selected directly from each farm after traveling there to sample and source.

This is critical value add. I looked for an “about” section or a blog to describe the selection process. I realize “About Us” or “blog” pages are too often drafted mostly for SEO, but I use them a lot to make buying decisions. I’m not in a position to visit coffee farms - lucky you! - but for $16+ a pound I’m buying the story and the selection and roasting process, not just the (really nicely executed) nerd dad jokes. That said, I’ve still bookmarked this for holiday stocking stuffers for my programming friends…

It’s war time there. The Russians may call it by other words, but hopefully we’d know better.

He may have been responsible for helping target and kill many civilians. He was asked to stop and he didn’t. Why didn’t they politely ask again, while maybe offering a cup of tea or something? It would be nice if they would have, but like we said it’s war time there.
And that's why it's good to have competition and good to have multiple powers regulating each other.
Thinking Clearly About Correlations and Causation (2018)
>> It still amazes people when you can do it, and even taking 90 seconds to do it, but with hardly any pauses, still makes people think you're a wizard or something.

I find this to be quite true. I learned a fairly slow method back in the 80's and can't remember all of the details so I have to figure it out. I don't run across a cube more than say once a year, so it may take 2-3 minutes to solve it. But part of the time I'm doing memorized sequences which allow looking up at a person while solving. You have a little conversation while doing it, and at the end you just put it down like it's not a big deal. The person looks at you not quite sure if there's any significance to what just happened and then you move on as if you were timing your nails or something. It's just a fun little thing to do from time to time.
they do this because its most efficient/profitable, not because of a technical limitation. Those economic incentivizes could be changed rapidly given the proper political capital.
I've used it for figures, posters, etc for many years. For the most part, no one cares too much about what you use, more about the final figure. If you're working so closely with someone that you're sharing raw files (e.g. they're using illustrator and want you to share a .ai file), you're going to hit issues, certainly.

However, most work will focus on the end result -- i.e. a paper with static exported figures.

At any rate, there's nothing wrong with the proprietary tools either -- they're great. It's just a matter of what you can get access to and what's best for the use case at hand.

If it helps to have some examples, pretty much every figure in my dissertation was made with a combination of matplotlib, QGIS, and Inkscape: http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/YHJWFVKMNVZGN8S E.g. see fig 2.12 for a cartoon made purely in Inkscape and things like fig 2.4 or 2.6 are a combination of matplotlib and Inkscape.
> Instead of providing high paying job's like apple does...

Is this a joke? You do know that people living outside the US are actual human beings right? Because the people that were building the actual $1500+ iphones were literally jumping from the factory windows to their deaths due to terrible working conditions, pay and psychological torment.

I said that they lacked the trappings of what present-day humans think of as civilization, not that they didn't exist or have civilization, which I know they did - but they died out due to drought. Much of the time, they lacked resources for widespread access to fire, clothing materials, or sedentary farming, because there was so little water and so little arable land, and they learned to live without those things.

I once made something similar for my project as an excercise - it parsed the source code for #includes and figured out automatically what needs to be compiled. It was OKayish for my self-contained project which only used the standard library but it wouldn't work if you had to add third-party dependencies. Today I'd rather just use CMake.
The feedback I refer to above was given by other people who saw my cv.

I have been told by people who rejected me without an interview that they were looking for people with "more experience", and "experience with particular technologies". I have also been told that my master's degree didn't matter in the decision. I had a 1 year long contract where I built a custom AutoML system during BSc, a 3 month FT internship after BSc, a 6 month PT internship during BSc.

I have been frequently asked during interviews whether I feel any attachment or have any issues working with a different stack/language, and I don't understand why that question is asked since a language or some tech are just tools that can easily be learned.
Yes, of course? It's ridiculously wasteful (both economically and ecologically) that you have to buy what's basically the same computer 4 times to access the full library of "current" releases.
Anecdata of 1, but I've (in hindsight) realized that certain feminine smells seem to skip my nose and hit buttons directly in my brain, so to speak.
With the same validity I can ask why are you against security and ease of use?

Ppl buy Apple products and KNOW AND ACCEPT the limitations when making that purchase.

There are alternatives- get an android phone, there are plenty of brands there.

I buy Apple products ESPECIALLY for the locked down OS.

Why are you against my consumer choice? If any alternative store, payment, in app purchase is introduced - I’m deprived of my choice. And now there isn’t a closed OS I can use.

There are actual reasons I want that OS. My parents had android devices and they got scammed at least once a month to share their details and their cards got stolen as they would download apps and those app would “guide” them how install apps from untrusted sources while promising “enabling free bank transactions access”. After moving to iOS none of that happened. I get the odd subscription I need to cancel but I do that from the phone - not another system.
Yes, people who tell you that you can blindly buy any Lenovo laptop for Linux are lying. You have to do some googling first. Or check the inofficial Thinkpad Wiki. But other than that, if you pick a device that's recommended for use with Linux, it's as good as it gets regarding Linux on laptops if you ask me. Saying that your next Laptop isn't a Lenovo because your random purchase sucked is a little :rolleyes:

Oh and yes, avoid nvidia if you do Linux. Some people say it "works for them", but I for one would recommend just completely staying away from Linux if you want nvidia.

The truth is, and will probably always be, that you have to do some research before buying HW if you're using Linux and don't feel lucky.
Ok, the Atari ST may have been cheaper than the Amiga 500, but to make music with it, you had to connect a MIDI keyboard/synthesizer/etc., whereas with the Amiga you could get by just with its built-in capabilities. This is true for the original STs, apparently the "STE" models released in 1989 also had the ability to play sampled audio, but I don't know if that was ever used as intensively as on the Amiga...

It certainly can affect reading. As the other commenter stated, it can affect people in may different ways. It affects my reading differently based on the content. Ask me to read a textbook for a history class and I won't make it more than a few sentences without serious distraction. If I somehow actually "finish" reading a chapter I still won't be able to tell you much if any of the content. But give me a good sci-fi book and I will burn through it in a matter of hours. And good luck getting anything else out of me during that time.
That's nice. This will be the last question, how long is your flight? My flight will be 10 hours.
