Processing multi-GB files in the browser is... fun. Doing that kind of thing on a server is easier.

*I'm not justifying doing it on the server, especially for an application like this where yes: it can be done in the client.* But I do sympathize because I know from experience why it's easier to do it server-side, without any conspiracies.

I wrote Papa Parse[0] about 10 years ago, and back then at least, it was extremely difficult to stream large files in an efficient, reliable way. Web Workers make things slightly better, but there's so many issues with large-scale local compute in a browser tab.

A few examples:

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24708649/why-does-web-wo... (the answer actually came from Google+ which is still linked to, but no longer available; fortunately I summarized it in my post)

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27081858/how-can-i-make-...

You get deep enough into the weeds and eventually you realize you can make it work cross-browser if you know which browser you're using (YES, User-Agent does matter for things like this) and call you crazy for trying to find out:

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27084036/how-can-i-relia...

Despite all this, I *100%* agree and local-only processing is also a hard-rule for me as well. (That's why JSON-to-Go[1] does it all client-side. `go fmt` event compiles to WASM and runs in the browser!)

the quantity of animals is way too high for them to be fed with grass, as that would turn into a logistical nightmare.

And you think you speak on behalf of all 'the most talented younger people'?

Talented or not, young or not, there are people who do and who do not want to work in an office.

Pretending all of one type of employees feel the same is detrimental to the conversation.
Owning a home takes a huge amount off of your taxes in the United States. This mainly applies to single people or people who don't file with dependents as they're taxed the most.

A home acts as a way to store and grow cash (mostly) securely. They also, generally, have higher than (stock) market rates of returns for the cash that you stuff in them. For instance, do a $50k kitchen renovation and that may entice a future buyer to buy at $100k more. There's a lot of examples like this throughout the housing renovation industry. Some home renovations are going to net you nothing, but defer something negative. For instance, I had to install a Radon system in my home because radioactive gas was leaking out of the crust deep beneath my basement. I won't get that $3k back but I won't live in a radioactive container and future buyers won't be scared off (rightfully so).

If you're renting (since you mentioned landlords) the economics change a bit. You need the house to look nice but you either need it super-durable or inexpensive to repair. What usually happens is that a rented home gets a makeover that will put it squarely in the price the landlord wants per month. This is done as cheap as possible because a fair amount of tenants are radioactive and will destroy everything not nailed down.

If you're selling your home after five years you may have some nominal value increase coupled with equity. For me, that amounted to about $35k on a $215k home. To replicate that in the markets you'd have to get involved in a life insurance plan that acts as a tax-free market account, which is significantly more complicated to manage. I know because I almost did it when I moved to California!

If you plan to stay in a house less than 5-8 years, I just wouldn't buy. You'll be somewhat upside down depending on your market.
Also god's not making any more land. So owning crap buildings on great locations is a great way to land bank for a payday in the future. Though climate change will redraw a lot of maps in this regard.

Agreed, I haven't had meat in a few years now but the key to cooking vegan and vegetarian is to let it be its own thing and not try to make it taste like some specific 'meat' flavor.

Unless the cook has a flame grill or knows their business very well I also find beyond/impossible 'meat' to taste worse than a decently prepared seitan or bean based patty.

Yep, I dated a 'pastatarian' for a couple years. I don't remember her ever eating a salad, despite being vegetarian. She made a mean potato pizza, though!
> The thing is, vegetarian food is incredible without needing to taste like meat.

This is something I always have to highlight to folks. In Australia, personally speaking, the best veggie burger is call the 'Not burger'. It doesn't taste like Meat, it just tastes good! There is a reason why they haven't changed it in almost 20 years I have known about it.
Same here. I’ve tried many veggy patties at restaurants and only ever had one that I liked, and even going back to that same restaurant is hit or miss. It is rare to find one that isn’t either very dry and flavorless or soggy, mushy and impossible to bite without squeezing out of the patty.

Beyond and Impossible aren’t amazing but they are decent and consistent.
So you seem to know what's complex on this products. Share your knowledge. I claim that this products are not complex or not more complex as meat based products

Impossible Burgers are the best-tasting non-meat burgers I've had.

Agreed. This sentence from the marketing copy killed my interest instantly:

"Contributors discuss a host of topics, such as how university databases were programmed long ago to accept only two genders, "
As if the following from the first paragraphs wasn't enough of an indicator: "technologists, historians, journalists, academics, and sometimes the coders themselves,” explaining “how code works" but it only gets better:

- A guy gets to present his theory of the racist software infrastructure, as "a Professor" while one has to scan his Twitter timeline to see him as the political hack that he is. Bosch should have pointed out he worked for the DNC (On a general note: Hey America, you do realize there are people outside of your country without the slightest interest in having their own history bent over your domestic infighting?).

- Of course our databases are racist, mysoginistic and transphobic - just as we are (“The next frontier in gender rights is inside databases.”)!

- Book title's like Sexist Apps, Biased Algorithms, and Other Threats of Toxic Tech are just slipped in, like they aren't the giant red flag of bias that they are.

- "I’ve been really interested over the past several years to watch the power of the tech activists and tech labor movements" is giving me straight up maoist vibes of the 1970s when upper-class academics in Western Europe larped as "working-class" in and around auto-manufacturing sites, but the working class wasn't having it.

Let's see whether that failure also repeats itself and how the outfall of this will look (the snubbed academics then turned to "the environment" as a new ward allwing them to more openly spite the "Lumpenproletariat")
It certainly sparked a multi-year hype and fraud cycle that caused some of the biggest crashes in history.

If you mean a finger is always adjacent to a finger, locally, but holistically, the model doesn't know to stop after 4 of them, and will happily generate 8 fingers, then yes.

If you mean locally as in the size of a hand being right while holistically the person is wrong, no.

The overall images "tend" to be right (once you grasp prompting) and elements, even appear right at first, but if you focus attention on those elements, they are often not quite right.

So perhaps it's the definition of local and holistic.
The goal was simplicity and cheapness, not being clever. Using a simple, existing tool is better than unnecessary complication, no?
Well C does allow "copying" an array if it's wrapped inside a struct, which does not make it O(1). gcc generates calls to memcpy in assembly for copying the array.

> your chump-change investments being lent out doesn't matter.

Who is to say my investments are chump-change? What's with the derision? I'm under no obligation to help broker-dealers make money off of lending out my shares, especially if those shares are being used to short the companies I'm invested in.

If retail investors DRS'd more of their long-term holdings, it absolutely would matter and have an effect on shares available to hedge funds to short.

Carrier-grade NAT. Generally rolled out due to IPv4 exhaustion.

Under CGNAT Your router does not get an externally reachable IP address from your ISP, as it sits behind ISP-level NAT router that assigns addresses to subscribers much like your home router assigns addresses to your home machines.

So you can’t run any sort of externally reachable service at all.
I didn't understand the difference between constinit and consteval. It appears that constinit is just consteval applied to global/static variables. Why two keywords then?
Not directly, sure. The low interest rates, and the overall increase in money in the system, made VC investing less risky compared to other options. Now that changes.

I'm vegan, but our numbers are so vanishingly small, we're a distraction in this conversation. Essentially the ~entire market for these products is meat eaters, and I don't believe meat eaters care about what they're eating even if they pay lip service to their health, the environment, or animal rights. Meat substitutes will win in the market because the food labs will (and I believe already have) succeeded in making them cheaper and tastier. You can't add extra salt, sugar, and MSG (not there is anything wrong with it) to a 100% beef patty.

I am 100% rooting for Impossible to win regulatory approval here in the EU, even though it's an uphill legal battle. The USA leads the world in junk food technology, and we need better junk food to get us through the energy transition.

You read that headline correctly and it's not click-bait - there is an actual true story here that is still unfolding. I'm the one who put the pieces together. I'm the one who alerted people during a time when I'm being accused of maliciousness and abuse. I'm also one of the primary caregivers for the desired target. This means, in my view, legally speaking I will be able to prove harm - know why I'm glad I have a great counselor / therapist / human being to discuss this stuff with? Times like these.

This post is crowded with responses from people explaining why they hate Beyond meat

FWIW, I've always liked Beyond Meat as a "good enough" substitution for a beef burger that's easy to prepare that is close in texture to a real burger - if you use a burger sauce and cheese like most recipes for non-vegans do, it tastes pretty close. I even liked it so much I'd order it at restaurants wherever available and bought a few shares since I figured they'd do well.

I've tried Impossible Burgers too (both prepared by others and myself), and I don't like that it has hemoglobin in it and for some reason it's more in the uncanny valley than Beyond meat is for me - Beyond Meat is just different enough that it doesn't taste to me like moldy beef the way Impossible Burgers seem to.

What _did_ eventually get me to stop making Beyond Burgers is that the fat and sodium content is as bad or worse than just plain regular beef. Reducing red meat consumption to once a month or so achieves basically the same benefits, and occasional red meat consumption + no more frequent beyond meat burgers is healthier in the long run than what I was doing before. I think an under-appreciated advantage to the veggie and black bean burger options out there is they tend to be way better w.r.t. fat and sodium, and taste just as good once you give up on the "almost beef" taste of these new-wave alternatives, but Beyond Meat _did_ work for a few people out there and just never tweaked their product enough to seriously compete with cheaper alternatives as inflation has gotten worse.
For some reason there is no reply button on the other replies.

Maybe the evidence for meat doesn't generalise, but the idea that fresh vegetables would retain some sort-lived structures that start to break down once processed seems plausible. I was just pointing out that GPs claim could do with some backup.
Also the fact that there are choices presented which I have never selected and never will.

I've seen that share-selection-reordering on numerous devices, including Onyx BOOX, which seem to otherwise mostly provide their own Android interface. So whatever's driving that seems to be deep in the environment.
Are there less private clients like SmartTubeNext that uses leanback framework so you can manage playlists? Works well on chromecast but no touch interface and would be nice to having something for android. That said didn't leanback get the the axe?

We haven’t had issues with stomach upset, but I’ve found that cooking impossible burgers leaves an oder lingering in the house for days. It smells good while cooking but over time becomes off putting and I loose my appetite to cook the rest of the pack through the week.

Beyond doesn’t have the same issue for me.

While I agree businesses have to mitigate against bots and hacking, I'd like to push back a bit. I'm an American living abroad. I have the same types of issues as OP, even with my reliable internet. The current methods of mitigation vary from annoying to outright discriminatory.

One example is that my home state's IRS portal(along with all the other state gov sites) straight up block access from the overseas democracy I live in. I assume they block almost all overseas access but I haven't tried to verify it. Like OP, I need to use a SOCKS proxy, or VPN to bypass this heavy handed tactic. While I'd love for it to not be so, Americans living abroad still have to file their taxes. An NPR article said there's probably close to 5 million of us expats.

Lastly with the Cloud VMs, it doesn't seem that this sort of ban is evenly distributed. I've proxied/tunneled through Linode, a well known Torrent VPN, and Digital Ocean, without raising any red flags, but Amazon, ViperVPN, and NordVPN have been flagged. I could go on and argue that with the learn to code movement I could see a cloud instance being the new geocities homepage, but that may never come to pass.
> There is no country that denies the existence of the concentration/"re-education" camps in Xinjiang.

Every. Single. Muslim. Majority. Country. Did. And they did it at the UN.

...

This is what happens if people keep getting their 'truth' from the machine that lied to them about nonexistent WMDs for years.

> You have no evidence that the people trapped in these concentation camps are "backed by NED

If they were backed by the NED, it would have been MUCH better. They are Islamist militants who returned from the CIA's botched Syrian affair, or the militants of the East Turkistan Islamic Movement, which is considered as a terrorist organization by the UN. ONLY the US got them out of its own terrorist list to be able to use them against China.

...

Look... The rest of the world does not expect the above level of awareness about geopolitics from your lot. They just expect you to stop feeding on the lies of the machine that has lied to you many times before. How many times do you need to be lied to until you stop believing lies...

That’s my major beef with this guy’s article. It has been shown repeatedly that picking stocks does not work.

Choosing Airbnb or Google or whatever because you think you know something about it or can predict the future is setting yourself up for failure.

Yahoo seemed like a great stock at one time. The market changed, the leadership was faulty etc.

> IMO, I think the "meat in a vat" system where animal tissue is grown in some kind of factory setting is a much better approach. When I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat.

for taste yes, for vegan and vegetarians it depends. that audience is so heavily diluted by a dozen different goals they want to represent or embody.

some don't like the inflammation (according to their sources) that a meat diet causes within humans, in which case this wouldn't satisfy them

some don't like harm to animals, in which case this would satisfy them

some don't like the environment impact, in which case, who knows? sustainability study and audits needed

others...?
Eh, it's gotten more complex sure, but in real world code most of this solves real problems, and even if it's technically adding to the language in practice most of the new stuff replaces old patterns. I don't think anyone that's used c++20 would want to go back to c++98, or c++11.

I mean west free to start propaganda campaign to claim PRC is underreporting GDP and overreporting population (so far only focused on latter), and conclude PRC is finally reached high-income status. Afterall, PRC's already pretty close to the threshold, with incentive to juke stats to continue being developing economy for the perks. But west would have to accept that CCP did good enough to avoid middle income trap.
That seems a fair summary of the content.

This pdf illustrates beautifully how a new medium is misunderstood before it is understood. It happened when oil paint was 'invented', it happened when the camera was invented, it is happening now with the introduction of AI. It takes quite a while for artists to 'grok' a new medium and this process of change cannot be rushed.

For a 1977 example of the creative nature of a computer being effectively understood, check out 'Personal Dynamic Media.' (Kay, A. and Goldberg, A., 1977. Computer, 10(3), pp.31-41.).

http://augmentingcognition.com/assets/Kay1977.pdf

In it they describe a computer as a 'metamedium': an layer that 'impersonates' non-digital media. Things have changed since then, but that understanding still holds true for 90% of how a digital artist uses a computer.
