We can add a few more variables and draw different conclusions.

The quality of the meat is lowering because of intensive "meat factories". Also, the animals are given a lot of antibiotics, which eventually lowers microbial biodiversity also in the land, and, even worse, favours antibiotic resistance at every level, down to the consumer.

This is not even considering animal well-being...

> The wilderness land that's actually under attack is mostly in Third World countries where they practice "traditional", "organic" agriculture of the sort beloved by urban First World environmentalists.

That’s a really weird way of framing multinational agriculture’s impacts on indigenous land. Like, none of what you’re saying is specifically wrong at a sub-clause level, the wilderness land under attack is “where they…”, but it’s not under attack by them or what they might practice.

They’re not actually the ones rapidly deforesting or otherwise devastating mostly pristine ecosystems. Cattle farms serving the US and many first world countries certainly are. It’s not a testament to our better farming techniques, it’s a testament to our prowess externalizing the costs of our lifestyle and internalizing the benefits of that. We’ve effectively outsourced imperialism. That’s not yay us, that’s gig genocide.
Using wetware test oracles is underappreciated. You can't do it in a dumb way, of course, but with a basic grasp of statistics and hypothesis testing you can get very far with sprinkles of manual verification of test results.

I love the idea of GPD Micro PC - the ports the portability.

Having bought one two years ago I have used it twice. I think I was clouded by rosy memories of Toshiba Libretto from a long time ago.

GPD Micro PC is a lovely device but it is really not practical to type any serious amount of text. And my eyes are not getting any better so the tiny screen is only suited for emergencies not for daily use.

Unless you are in a profession where the serial port is actually needed on a daily basis you are better off using something like XPS13 (or Mac Air or whatever 13 incher).

I still think there is a room for nice light 9-11 inch device with decent keyboard.
I received the book today. I'm still not sure that it isn't a scam... The back cover is empty; otherwise, the quality is fine. I don't know if this is associated with Richard McElreath. Good luck to everyone.
So the counter argument you postulated(seemingly to undermine the validity of my argument with a tangential non-sequitur of math term application purism) fails on a principle basis upon further examination, yet we are persisting the thread with definitively unprovable practical application arguments that result from an (assumed) lack of objective related research and the reality that we are discussing forecasting probabilities using reason.

At this point I have to wonder, do you have any vested interest in the insect as food industry? I see you have accumulated many points over a decade and YC is running a few horses in this race.

And we are discussing public health and possible pandemic initiators predicated on nascent scientific research here, no? Dismissal through obfuscation and fallacious intellectual undermining leveraging local social clout?
Bacteriophages the Modern Way
Your comment is based on unfounded speculation (or at least you don't cite any sources) and I find it just a waste of time...
A couple of things that made a difference for me:

- I actually like vectorized code, I find it easier to read, but especially in python, vectorized code still has some fixed overhead that can be prohibitive for smallish vectors.

- Some of the numerical code I run is not easy to batch, so tools like tensorflow are cumbersome. With Julia it is easy to make fast non-allocating code while writing in easy to read style like in Python. In Python you need to use C/Cython/Numba to achieve this, but then you lose interoperability with other Python packages. E.g. auto-diff through fast cython code does not work, while autodiff through my equally fast non-batched Julia code is trivial.

- Ecosystem: I work with differential equations a lot. Julia's SciML library (and its DifferentialEquations.jl sub-library) is light years ahead compared to any other tool in Python/R/Mathematica/Matlab/Maple. Speaking of python, solving differential equations in python feels like I am using technology that is quarter of a century old.

- In python I might write a nice and legible slowish implementation of something and then piece by piece I will start replacing it with cython. That requires a lot of boilerplate. In Julia I just write the slowish implementation with the same ease with which I would do it in python, but then I need to perform extremely minimal profile-guided changes with zero boilerplate to achieve the cython/numba type of performance. And again, I do not lose interoperability with other parts of the ecosystem when I do that.

- It is trivial to inspect the actual machine code that was generated for every single function you write. It is trivial to inspect exactly where allocations happen. Most of the ecosystem is in pure Julia, so it is trivial to edit fairly foundational pieces of the ecosystem and submit patches. On the other hand, the levels of abstraction in something like Jax/Tensorflow/Numba makes it relatively difficult to contribute.

- It is wild how much code reuse you can have with the multiple dispatch paradigm. Say I find someone's pet project on performing a complicated linear algebra algorithm. That code was probably written just to work with Float64, but thanks to multiple dispatch the compiler can generate specializations for esoteric higher-precision real number representations, or real numbers with error bars, or unitful numbers. I still need to do some sanity checks, because hidden assumptions might be problematic, but this level of interoperability is possible only with multiple dispatch (thinking of it as one of the "standard solutions" for the Expression Problem[1] really helped; [2] was also informative). I think the GPU libraries for Julia are a good example of multiple dispatch working well in that sense.

> The problem I’ve run into is that when you’re iterating fast, writing code takes double the time when you also have to write the tests.

The times I have believed this myself, often turned out to be wrong when the full cost of development was taken into account. And I came back to the code later wishing I had tests around it. So you end up TDDing only the bug fix and exercising that part of the code with the failing test and then the code correction.
Not MOOCs but college courses open to audit. Hands down the 3 introduction courses at UC Berkeley: CS61A, CS61B, CS61C. It's CS50 on steroids, spread across 3 courses. Tried a lot of things before finding those, nothing comes close.
Except for the whole quantisation thing, and what happens in single-photon experiments.

This thread is very weird, there are a lot of people saying nonsense about photons not existing and absorption and re-emission (things that are detailed in any quantum physics textbook in existence). As if the fact that we can also explain the movement of planets around the sun somehow makes general relativity unnecessary or somewhat invalid. Quite disturbing.
Why did you leave out the fact that Kraken [0] delisted it in the UK, Bittrex also delisting it [1] and many [2] other exchanges [3] also delisting it? Even Litecoin has been delisted [4] due to a privacy feature upgrade and even Binance [5] is not supporting the Litecoin privacy extensions upgrade.

There is a reason why FTX, Coinbase and Binance.US never listed it in the first place and this reinforces my point that regulators do not want privacy coins to survive.

But agricultural land can also be pretty ok for the ecosystem. And many ways to get more out of less make that less likely.

Fortunately there are still some ways untapped of increasing efficiency without increasing impact, like more fine-grained control of chemicals application or replacing tractors with something like https://nexat.de/ that does the same work with less soil compaction, but those are minor optimizations, not game changers or silver bullets.
So many threads discussing with an engineering mind if 40 is half your life, a third, blah blah blah.

Truth is you don’t have tomorrow for granted. We could die today, tomorrow or in 90 years. Planning ahead so strictly is like wrapping a blanket around your head for safety in a firefight.

It's important to become versed in scamming techniques no matter who you are. There are a number of red flags that you would catch:

The email came from info@splunkcareers.us. The first thing to do when receiving such an email is search for the company home page (in this case: splunk.com). If the second and top level domains don't match, you have a scammer. Companies never use addresses outside of their domain.

They asked the person to buy things and then send them somewhere via UPS. This is THE hallmark of a scam.

Next is the linking of a "company" account to your personal card. This NEVER happens.

Finally, asking you to buy things on your personal card and expense them is almost never done before you've actually started work (I say "almost" because some very small 1-2 person startups who don't know any better might do this even though they shouldn't).
Just tax the hell out of that property and use that money to build more housing. Much like many countries charge foreign students more and use that money to educate their own citizens.
I vaguely recall the first time I read this story that Grace Hopper was not the person who found the moth.
PowerVR was especially funky. They used planes to ‘carve’ out polygons. It meant that they could genuinely draw convex polygons with arbitrary numbers of side by using ~N+1 planes. I found it kind of cool to try and read through the simulator code in their open source release [0]. I imagine there would be an interesting write up if someone sat down and really wanted to understand it.

Since I've moved to full time rust I'm finding it much harder to precede the code with tests (ignoring for a moment the maximalist/minimalist discussion). I think it's the because the abstractions can be so powerful that the development process is iterating over high level abstractions. The bit I worry about testing is the business logic, but that in my experience is not something you can test with a trivial unit test, and that test tends to iterate with the design to some extent. Essentially I end up with a series of behavioural tests and an implementation that as far as possible can't take inputs that can be mishandled (through e.g. the newtype pattern, static constraints etc).

I'm not quite sure what is right or wrong about my approach, but I do find the code tends to work and work reliably once it compiles and the tests pass.

> Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom (which is also a country).

Depending on how you define "country", of course. The definition that makes Scotland "a country" seems mostly historical and peculiarly British. (One would think that also makes Northern Ireland "a country". Is it? Or Cornwall? If not, why not?)

In ordinary day-to-day language, though, "a country" is mostly synonymous with "a sovereign nation", which Scotland isn't. As several comments in this discussion have shown, it seems mostly to be a question of recognition by others, mainly neighbours. Scotland's closest neighbour, the United Kingdom, certainly doesn't seem to recognise it as a sovereign nation. As for international consensus, the closest proxy seems to be membership of the United Nations. Which Scotland has as much as Sealand does. (Perhaps the easiest way to see the conflicting interpretations is that something can't by definition be sovereign if it's part of something else.)

So "Scotland is a country" is true for some values of "country", but not all. (And IMnshO, not the most pertinent ones.)

You need a job to support yourself so you can do your programming as a hobby/pleasure.
Yeah like kickbacks.

This naive view that incentives engineering could somehow fix the fact that a profit oriented creature means that any other value become subjugated to profit. Ppl are amazing at optimizing for stuff, especially stuff you can measure.
If you throw away the non tangible values of decency truth fairness freedom, in favor of the very tangible value of money you'll get corporations working hard to maximize their profit in any way imaginable, including twisted lobbying to rewrite the incentives and outright kickbacks.

We see this happen again and again and again, and still the "incentive engineers" want to try one more time.
You'd prefer it in (checks internets) Pounds, Shillings and Pence?
OK, but not very useful to the rest of us.
A few "small" problems with your statement:

1) Growing monocrop plants on a large scale is much more destructive to the environment as it completely destroys the ecosystem. You destroy all other plants and small animals that would regenerate the soil. Instead you just steal from the soil over and over again without regenerating it. Cows shitting provide fertilizer. But this obviously doesn't happen on monocrop land.

2) Most of the places where cows graze grass can NOT support human eatable plant food growing. Only grass can grow there, not eg corn or some grains. So that land can either do nothing or you can unleash cows onto that land to convert that grass into human food (cows).
But now you have the tests to be able to refactor the implementation and improve it.

I’ve been in too many projects where devs almost never write tests. They cut corners by neither writing tests nor documentation because of time pressure. Then the code breaks in production with simple edge cases like NullPointerException and they need to fix it, so they don’t have time to write unit tests for the next feature. And it’s definitely harder to write tests after you implemented something.
It’s apocrypha. I’m not sure that Grace Hopper ever actually claimed to invent the term “bug,” only that others have claimed that she did.
It’s funny that in your paragraph there I thought you were about to write… “for that reason alone, TDD is the only way that makes sense to me.”

The reason is, the tests and the code are symbiotic, your tests prove the code works and your code proves the tests are correct. TDD guarantees you always have both of those parts. But granted it is not the only way to get those 2 parts.

You can still throw into the mix times when a bug is present, and it is this symbiotic relationship that helps you find the bug fast, change the test to exercise the newly discovered desired behaviour, see the test go red for the correct reason and then make the code tweak to pass the test (and see all the other tests still pass).
It is this useful in real life?

You usually don’t actually need the best from an arbitrary sample, you need better than $threshold.

Aiming for best from sample when you have $threshold already could just result in opportunity cost.

Thank you for the correction. And indeed, "complex" would have been the right term. My bad.

When was the last time you ran a long distance to kill a deer? For the majority of people, it's mainly about long distance driving to the supermarket to pick up a cut of meat. The cognitive dissonance is pretty real here. There is no screaming to be heard at the supermarket checkout. If there were, I don't think we would be having this discussion.

> ... we can kill it humanely ...

That's some wishful thinking if I've ever seen it. I encourage you to actually look at how most animals are kept and slaughtered. Then again, after the "life" most of those animals have been living, death, in whatever form, is a relief.
I found a home to purchase by implementing this.

I visited two places to establish criteria, then built a simple search across Greater London on Rightmove using area searches with proximity to Waitrose. The results I then filtered again based on price per square foot and rejecting certain keywords (aiming for a price per sq ft between £500-600 without needing renovation, but looking for no chain + quick sale).

As soon as a high quality and low price to square foot came up I put in an offer without having viewed it (I did view it once before completion).

I live there now... It's a gorgeous apartment purchased about 15% below market rate in a nice area.

Implementing a basic solution to the secretary / optimal stopping problem meant that with criteria that took out the vast majority of average places, I stopped on the first one and committed to it.
Owning an XPS 13 2in1 from 2021, I get the impression that this issue started way before IPU6. At least my webcam never showed any signs of life, and the only thing I found about this is an ancient git repo [1] where other frustrated device owners shout their anger into the wind.

I think it's definitely a case of "worse is better", not because it's "good enough" but because man pages are just "plain text" without the ToC or hyperlink features of texinfo. There is no interface, it's just blasted into a pager and you use the familiar interface of less or more or whatever to navigate.

It's the difference between man/less showing '(press h for help or q to quit)' and Info showing 'Type H for help, h for tutorial.' I accept Info's technical superiority, but I've never intentionally used it because man/less works well enough without having to learn a new interface.

(the other elephant in the room is HTML/web browsers, which I think eclipse Info in reach and familiarity so much that no-one would want to learn a secondary rich-text hyperlinked document viewer)
