Plenty of people in this thread give detailed comments on why individual points are quite dubious so I will spare you my take.

Same in Switzerland. The selection has grown considerably over the last years.
I can confirm. I found out that people who have "violently" strong opinions on how one tool is much worst are the ones who ... did not actually tried the other tool. In our company, people who never worked with Eclipse need to pick on it constantly, I dont know why.

People who actually switched from one to another (some forever some for at some time) are waaaay calmer in their opinions.
But the point is that if BD can make a robot that can jump, grab and throw, they can also make a robot that can just grab an item and throw it in a box.

Which is fine when building a complex CLI tool which requires other external libraries; but otherwise the compexity of argparse is simply not significant enough to justify the cost of adding external dependencies.
He wasn't investigated by the FBI. The FBI was investigating a hypothetical Japanese spy; since he wasn't a Japanese spy, any follow-up that led to him was merely incidental.

If the FBI investigates a spy seen driving a silver Honda Civic with license plate ABC-1234, and looks into an unrelated civilian who drives a silver Honda Civic with license plate ADC-1234 in case their witness misremembered the license place, that doesn't mean the unrelated civilian was "investigated by the FBI".
The only security hygiene that can stop your email from leaking is using a different address for literally every service you ever log into. This is of course possible with your own domain, but in practice totally infeasible for the vast majority of people.
This really depends on what you mean with "application". It is very popular to have the "backend" stateless, yes, but it is also popular that each service has their own dedicated database, and to consider the service/application to be the combination of the stateless backend and the dedicated stateful database.

The application is stateful even if the backend is stateless.
I am using this in prodution instead of Dink2PDF since recently, generating 30K PDF daily (in tens of minutes, with multiple threads). It works great, highly recommended.

Dink2PDF was crashing monthly in this scenario due to internal unmanaged memory problem so we had to replace it. Not to mention, HTML to PDF libraries are insecure, and dink is no exception - you can execute arbitrary code on the server. Not to mention that you need to have full browser engine in your app...
Hahaha yes!
If you care about environmentalism then you should resonate with the fact that 68% of the Amazon is Burnt for pastures for Cattle Farming. 28% is Burnt for Agriculture, of which 60% is for soybeans, of which 77% are shipped overseas for livestock feed.

That means at least 80% is burned for livestock or livestock feed. Since part of the palm oil and other plant produced is also used for livestock feed that number probably closer to 85%.

See:

https://www.fern.org/fileadmin/uploads/fern/Documents/Fern%2...

Your proposed solutions simply don't add up. Air Travel makes up 2.5-3.5% of all GHG emissions, Air Conditioning makes up 3.94%.
Livestock makes up a whopping 18%.

So even banning all air travel and air conditioning, would only give you the same reduction on GHG emissions as eating 40% less dairy and meat.

So cutting meat and dairy from your diet is one of the easiest ways to cut your CO2 footprint massively. And it's actually just a minor inconvenience once you get used to plant based cooking, calling vegan cooking "dark ages" is ridiculously overdramatic, considering that e.g. indian food is often vegan and delicious.

Wouldn't bad actors just push their fake email addressess to haveibeenpwned in fake leaks? Steps:

1- periodically set up a legitimate looking service, possibly proxying real services.
2- wait a year or two for your fake service to premiate throughout the www and for seach engines to index it.
3. Mix your bot email addresses with legitimate previously pwned addresses.
4- proclame "woe is me, for thyself hasth been pwned"

You can set up this process so that you can inject a couple 100k bot email addresses periodically every couple of months.

This is an incredibly shortsighted idea with the potential to hurt a lot of innocent people.
If I am given the time and resources I do this:

Phase 1. Code and test basic functions concerning any kind of arithmetic, mathematical distribution, state machines, file operations and datetimes. This documents any assumptions and makes a solid foundation.

Phase 2. Write a simulation for generating randomized inputs to test the whole system. Run it for hours. If I can't generate the inputs, find as big a variety of inputs as possible. Collect any bugs, fix, repeat. This reduces the chances of finding real time bugs by three orders of magnitude.

This has worked really well in the past whether I'm working on games, parsers or financial software. I don't conform to corporate whatever driven testing patterns because they are usually missing the crucial part 2 and time part 1 incorrectly.
How I explain US federalism to Germans: in 2014, an amount of marijuana that could be purchased in a nice, state-regulated shop in Colorado by anyone over 21 years old could have gotten you a $100 fine in New Mexico, and up to 6 months in jail and a $2000 fine in Texas.

I too make my own patties most of the time, instead of ready-mase fake meat. Just mash whatever beans/tofu I have. Maybe some dry falafel mix. Half an egg and some potato starch will help with keeping it together. A splash of soy sauce for colour. Just make sure that the mixture does not get too wet.

The short delay in a toggle switch turning on, as opposed to a checkbox, is also irritating.

Poor Old Chuggy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSqG7eU5Np8
Well much like a suspiciously cheap sausage, this opinion is clearly a load of old bollocks.

We often choose to eat meat substitutes. We like the texture and the taste.

Since the supermarkets in the UK are full of meat substitutes from the likes of Quorn, What The Cluck, etc. and have been for years, we can't be the only family of omnivores to enjoy it.

Meat alternatives don't have to 100% replicate meat to be enjoyable, they just have to be tasty.
One "easy" way of "writing" is to answer support emails / calls. It is almost the same as teaching stuff, only with a more relaxed timeline. I am currently supporting a system (and have been supporting other such systems in the past) about which I know very little. So each time a support request comes in I have to dig, understand, formulate an answer, scrap it, dig again deeper, ask around, etc.

In the end I don't even care if this takes a lot of time, I learn so much in the process that it is absolutely worth it. I would not be happy doing it 100% though, because writing code is really on a different level, but I find that these two complement each other very well.
Apparently mine has been pwned 29 times.

Good UX patterns are generally those which are recognisable and intuitive to the user.

Checkbox's in the real world are used more in confirmation, or a yes/no pattern. In the real world you can check a checkbox if it applies, but you don't uncheck a checkbox when something doesn't apply. You also don't expect some state change to occur from merely checking a checkbox.

Checkboxes are still used everywhere they make sense. "I accept these T&Cs" for example would almost certainly use a checkbox, not a slider for the reasons I mentioned.

For on / off patterns though checkboxes are less intuitive. When you slide a physical toggle switch in the real world you're typically switching a device from one state to another state - and you typically have the ability to switch back and forth. Checkboxes are not used in this way in the real world so it's less intuitive to use them like this in digital UIs.

I don't think the issue you have with sliders is universal. If you design a slider well it should be very clear what the state is. For on / off patterns changing the colour of the slider from green to red can provide a clear visual hint about the active state.
Crazy that the people who don't eat meat can't see the properties of meat that meat eaters like and look for.

It seems that they don't plan to "turn 100% plant based", but rather built a new factory that is 100% plant based.

The ≤5% estimate is just as inaccurate though.

Can't most of the "heavy lifting" be done by more specialized machine anyway? I mean besides electric beds and chairs there isn't much left. I'd rather give powered exosqueletons to caregivers if they need more power to lift an overweight person than use a robot for that application anyway.
A few tiny shakes out of a salt shaker isn't going to come close to 90mg. Figure about 40mg because I use a very small amount of it when I do use it. I'd have to eat 9 of mine to get the same salt content as a plant burger sold here.

But wait, there's more! National brands of everything here load their products up with salt. Buns, condiments, fries, drinks are all packed with sodium. Under the guise of eating healthy, one can eat a loaded up plant burger w/fries and a cola and consume a day' worth of salt in one sitting.

370mg of salt in a single patty is an absurd amount of salt.
Come on, no software project is ran with that level or "what if" foresight.

I love pandoc. With it's lua filters, I love using it for generating html and blog posts, one thing which always annoys me about most static website generating tools is they make you use some very limited templating language, when I just want to use a proper programming language.

My only irritation -- while I understand why one would want to do it for neatness, it's annoying that the "pandoc" package no longer provides the "pandoc" program! Maybe instead introducing "pandoc-core" and renaming "pandoc-cli" to "pandoc" would be better (it would certainly avoid breaking existing scripts, like mine).

Burning the planet? I assume you mean CO2 emissions.

Bitcoin has one of the highest % of renewables of any industry i.e. solar, wind, hydro etc.

As an absolute value the amount of energy it consumes is less than 0.1% of global energy consumption.

Those two things taken together mean that Bitcoin contributes what amounts to a rounding error in total global CO2 emissions.

And that's not even mentioning its GHG emissions reducing effects on the capture of methane, which could turn it CO2eq negative emissions.

On top of that it has an important role to play in balancing grids by consuming excess energy that the market doesn't want or need, or can't be stored.

And the utility of Bitcoin? Well, some people see value in a form of money that can't be arbitrarily debased, is open to all on a global and neutral network that can't be changed or controlled by any central or corrupt authority, and that is censorship resistant.

You might not see value in that, but many people do.

Maybe you see more value in Christmas lights which consumes more energy than Bitcoin.

Those numbers tracks with GDP per capita of the US and EU. I'm guessing it is going to be different if you look at certain segments of the market. Also in this case you probably need to look at tonnage per capita. You might also be right that it is too early to say, comments here can be up to a year ahead of statistics.

Huh. How?
Tremendous essay. As someone else pointed out, this was back when Virginia was still an apartheid state, in the process of getting desegregation imposed on it; racial categorization was an important weapon of the state against some of its citizens, and not one they were going to give up easily in the face of some guy (correctly) declaring it nonsensical.

There's so much Seeing Like A State in the punchcard incident as well. Having invented the categories, you must be made to fit them. These days plenty of people will say "well, of course he's right, you can't jam everyone into racial/ethnicity categories, and you shouldn't" then turn around and code gender as an immutable M/F binary in their database.
Is there any part of agriculture that isn't subsidised?
No, they exist because someone can see an opportunity to make the same or more money than they make on beef with something that is extremely cheap for them to manufacture.
Would you mind elaborating? Why would it not be okay to drive your own car once you find it? Sure you might get stopped by police, but should be able to explain and prove the ownership.
On the other hand, with many things which I had initial frustrations about and I always assumed it's because of something I don't know and certainly there must be a reason why it's popular so I didn't want to express opinions about it and let it go, because I didn't want to seem like an ignorant person ranting about something they don't know how to use, I have developed stronger and more hateful opinions about now that I have years of experience and confidence. And then I think many who use those tools have this Stockholm syndrome type of thing happening where they try to justify why something is bad.

Yes the concept is from Lauren Berlant, who is quite distinguished in her field, affect theory. She has a feminist viewpoint and tends to be blame neoliberalism for of everything awful, but for that genre - which is not usually my cup of tea. Anyway, I think she has written some interesting pieces.

I found interesting this paper which cites Berlant's concept of cruel optimism: "Disinformation as the weaponization of cruel optimism: A critical intervention in misinformation studies".

It discusses the state of disinformation studies with example such why academic interventions have failed to "correct" e.g. people who believe in QAnon.

> Why on earth would anyone listen to a vegetarian about what makes a good meat alternative.

Because most vegetarians have likely tried a lot more meat substitutes than a meat eater, and most of them have eaten meat at some point?

It seems that any story about meat-eating brings out all the reactionary commenters and switches off critical thinking skills on HN.

Right but that's more calorific, higher in fat, and requires preparation.

If you go for lean mince then you're at exactly the same price range: https://groceries.aldi.co.uk/en-GB/p-ashfields-british-extra...

That's lower calorie than the veggie burger, but you still have to do the prep yourself.

Or you can go for the quorn mince which is much leaner than all the above and costs less than the lean beef mince: https://groceries.aldi.co.uk/en-GB/p-quorn-mince-500g/501950...
My first take: it’s different so it sucks. The lack of visual separation between the main content and the menu on the left is atrocious.

Second take: oh wait, the menu in the left was completely useless and they replaced it with the table of contents for that particular entry. That’s actually a welcome change. I’ll get used to “different so it sucks” soon enough anyway, that’s my fault not theirs.

It’s kind of fascinating when you catch yourself having knee-jerk reactions and “watch” your brain correct them.

The atool suite is great but only supports well formatted files.

My favorite meat replacements are smoked tofu, and soy flakes.

Tofu I sometimes use to substitute meats (We are eating keto, so it’s very easy to eat a lot of meat, trying to lower that amount a bit), sometimes simply by itself. It excels in both of those.

Soy flakes are always a ground beef replacement (not in a burger, only when the meat is loose), when properly spicing them during rehydration (MSG is even more important than usual here), they come close to the real thing in some ways, better in others. If they weren’t so carby, and now sold out for several months, I’d completely replace ground beef ;)
I think you may have gotten that wrong. Airbags are worse if the seatbelt is not worn. The timing for it firing takes into account that a seatbelt restrains the forward movement of the person. No seatbelt means moving forward quicker which means getting the full brunt of the airbag. Best case whiplash, otherwise a broken neck or similar.

At least that is what I have learned and which sounds reasonable.
I feel exosqueletons are a more interesting approach anyway. Maybe robots would do less errors but I don't know, most of the times I tried an AI it would understand most of what I asked but if I would miss to precise some details but it would still do the job while an human would ask for more precision on the request.

I would hate my robot to break stuff or put stuff in shelve C while I wanted it in shelve A and have to ask him again. Sure sometimes human workers also assume things instead of asking for more precise direction but I have the feeling we are more easily puzzled while an AI seems to be trained to be overconfident in order to be useful.
