Eating meat is essential but airplanes and AC aren't?

There are parts of the world that are uninhabitable without AC, and I know tons of people who don't eat meat, but virtually everybody in developed countries flies. My partner's family lives at the other side of the planet so banning airplanes means she would never get to see her sisters again.
I wanted to post almost the same comment.

While it might sometimes be true, since a practitioner has an easier time to identify a fellow sinner, it's terribly wrong at other times: most upright individuals strongly dislike corruption for instance.

I'm wondering what the author is generalizing from himself.
>Your comment is at the core of why QA is a total mess. Everyone is confused about what "test" means in different contexts.

Particularly the important differences between unit, integration, and e2e testing. Many people use the words interchangeably when they are completely different concerns.

Unit test your library code that has no external dependencies, integration test your classes that implement those libraries, and e2e test your application that is built with those classes. There are varying philosophies to which are more useful, but it's an important distinction to maintain in terminology.

> It is true that the FBI found the person they were looking for, and that person was the terminus of their investigation. It is not true that the article author was investigated by the FBI; he wasn't

To me, these are the same, so I guess that's probably just my layman's view then.
Looks like it's right there in the title: "high-concurrency".
In this writeup [1] about adding Rust to Chromium there is a note on the architecture shared state in the architure which may explain the difficulty

"... Chrome is built on foundational but really wide C++ APIs, such as the //content/public layer. We examined what it would mean for us to build Rust components against these types of APIs. At a high level what we found was that because C++ and Rust play by different rules, things can go sideways very easily.

For example, Rust guarantees temporal memory safety with static analysis that relies on two inputs: lifetimes (inferred or explicitly written) and exclusive mutability. The latter is incompatible with how the majority of Chromium’s C++ is written. We hold redundant mutable pointers throughout the system, and pointers that provide multiple paths to reach mutable pointers. ..."

I never understood that obsession and unwillingless to give up that broken concept of race/ethnicity in the USA.
The point everyone is making is this is not an IT forum. It’s tech (which includes machinery) and business. You can avoid IT entirely and still work a tech job. I’d dare say the vast majority of tech jobs are in no way similar to IT.
I did get a rather funny look one time when I ordered an Impossible Burger, with bacon on top. I wanted to try it out, and to see whether it could replace some of my meat consumption. However, this didn’t fit into the usual categories of “vegetarian” or “non-vegetarian”.
Sure, I want ads that are useful to me. That doesn't mean I want a million companies to stalk me online, finding ways to sell me things I don't need.

Tracking ads are almost always trying to sell you something you don't need in ways that you specifically are considered susceptible to. I'm sure there are normal ads out there, but the ones I see are almost always A/B tested and designed to exploit one of my supposed weaknesses. I don't want your psychological warfare but that's what the modern ad landscape has become about.

If I read an article about TVs, I expect ads about TVs. If someone writes a social media post about fridges, I expect ads about fridges. Content-based ad libraries are out there for the people that are interested in the products that are being advertised. On the few websites that use them, I've actually clicked on a few.

Sadly, most of them were stopped by my adblocker anyway because the redirect the ads led to still tried to track me, but in a few cases the system just worked.

If you need to know who I am, where I live, what my gender and age are, how many kids I have, how many pets I have, where I work and where I'm going on holiday this summer in order to sell me something, you don't have anything I want.
My totally user/curious 2 sats experience:

I've recently tried to play with Stable Diffusion. I have an RTX 3060, a base M1 MBP and a laptop with an AMD RX6800m.

- The RTX 3060 just works. Setup was straightforward, performance is good.

- The M1 has those neural engine thingies but it's not compatible with SD. It can run SD on CPU but if you want to make use of the NE you need coreml specific programs and models. Issue here is that it's just not the same stuff. Prompt structure is also different. It doesn't recognize weights and put a lot more emphasis on prompt order. Most of the time it seems to ignore most of what you wrote. On the positive side running stuff on the NE is very fast and doesn't seem to be taxing to the system.

- Finally the 6800M. It should be the powerhouse of the bunch considering its gaming performance ahead of the 3060. Problem is AMD toolkit kinda sucks. They have this obscure ROCm HIP stuff that acts as some kind of translation layer to the CUDA API. It's complicated, it simply doesn't work without a bunch of obscure environment variables and only works on fp32 mode, which means it uses twice amount of video RAM for the same thing. Support is iffy as they seem to only support workstation cards. Using it often throws lots of obscure compilation errors. Bugs celebrating anniversary.

To sum things up, Nvidia is far ahead of the curve in both usability and performance. Apple is trying to do its thing but it's too early yet while AMD is in a messy situation. Hope it helps.
Then it must be you didn't read my reply.

You asked

> how do you explain the European people supporting their governments assisting Ukrainians, when continuing the conflict is causing themselves direct discomfort and expense?

I replied

> we've all been subjected to unprecedented levels of propaganda. It's not a surprise that many feel more concerned about what's happening in Ukraine than in Yemen.

Everything else I wrote is what I think about the concept of "sacrifice" that the elites fill their mouths with knowing it won't really affect them.

Whether my argument is dubious or not to you, it is still an argument and a valid answer to your question.

You might want to explain why my answer doesn't convince you, rather than simply dismissing it as "beside the point" when it isn't.
I worked with a guy who was close to a 10x developer on my previous team and we hired him at another gig. Yeah ... he was pretty burned out.

But the guy I mentioned initially ... he's still going strong 20 years later.
Aldi has a great chicken replacement and the meatballs packaged with a pack of ketchup are excellent. I would wish for them to be available in a larger version without the ketchup.

Another problem I have with all of this is the plastic packaging for everything. Getting something like that at a veggie butcher would be cool.
I do not believe that is the type of information being referenced. most people love to share their education knowledge, it is practically showing off. The point of people not understanding the value of information refers to organizational knowledge about how this collection of persons actually accomplish goals, rather than the official story - that's the valuable information referenced, not what one was taught in their schooling.

> The problem to me of naming types is that a lot of the time there is no meaningful name to give, and so it becomes noise.

Do you have examples? That's not my experience.

Of course, we may simply be working on very different types of code :)
I'm vegetarian and I love the fake meat products.

I like vegetables too, obviously, but sometimes I just want a burger.
> Most vegetarians were not born vegetarians, though.

I’m not sure about that. Internationally, this definitely isn’t true as most Hindu were born Hindu and vegetarian.

And in the US, I’d say that about 1/3 of non-Hindu/ cultural vegetarians friends and acquaintances were born into families that are vegetarian.
I'm convinced they're bad UI based on how I've seen my parents try to use them on touch devices. They try to slide them horizontally, not realizing you're just meant to tap them. And the slide motion ends up doing something to the page or menu they're part of. At best it's a no-op, at worst the slide causes a transition to a different screen and they get confused.

They're antiskeumorphic. The design actively sabotages user understanding.
I can relate (as a man) and can say it was only when I started hanging around other dudes who would relentlessly mock each other that my feelings improved.

> My original comment was that the notion that Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe leading up to the current events is not supported by either the article used as a reference nor the underlying data source that the article itself used.

The articles and arguments were plenty in the Western press in the years following 2014. All of them disappeared suddenly when the war started and Ukraine ended up on the side that West supports. Then again that's no surprise 'They are bastards but they are our bastards' have been de facto modus operandi of the Angloamerican West since Truman.

> Regardless, it would hopefully be part of the TI's job to calibrate these cultural norms out in order to compare across the world.

Unfortunately it won't, because it has another job - to publicize whomever supplies its funding wants. Its the same thing with the funding bias in science.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funding_bias

You can see the same thing in the 'university rankings'. These are generally done and publicized by mainly Angloamerican institutions, who, not surprisingly, rank a lot of Angloamerican universities at the top. Most of those universities also tend to be private ones. Its both advertising and catering to those universities - these rankings attract international students to those private universities, who then support these institutions in direct or indirect ways with funding. This is why non-Angloamerican, especially non-private universities have scarce spots in these rankings as well. Its just business.

> Randian biases in the corruption metric. That's a completely valid point, but my reference of the Nordic countries was just to illustrate that I do not think that is quite the case here

I would say that its more a 'world view' that does not permit anything else to filter into the perspective than a mere bias, but yes. However as I said, the presence of the Nordic countries in the index does not validate the index.

We more or less agree, yes. However you still give some credibility to these indexes whereas I see them as mere extensions of the PR machine of their own establishment.
What brand do you mean? I've never tried a vegan schnitzel I think but all the nuggets and such I tried didn't taste good to me. And yeah, you're absolutely right that it makes sense to start with sausages/cold cuts because they're easier to imitate. Depending on where you live, there is a lot of choice now and they've gotten really good. I also had vegan cheese the other day that I'd assumed was real cheese until I found out.

The next step will be cultured meat (precision fermentation and similar methods). If you're in Singapore or Israel you can already try it in restaurants.
Slightly different product, but there's a wireless quad speaker system from Sony (HT-A9) that even supports adding a wireless subwoofer that probably provides a much better cinematic experience with full immersion (review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHcjvdGbaa0).
>The brain, or parts of it, are great at producing "explanations". I think that it was part of the more established and reproducible results of psychology that our brain first decides and acts, and only then produces some (often bullshit) "reason" when/if our conscious self asks for one? Does anybody remember if this is true and has a link?

Relevant are Sperry & Gazzaniga's split brain experiments. Participants of these experiments had had their corpus callosum (one of the major "information" pathways between our brain's two halves) cut. This was an operation performed to keep epileptic seizures in check.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-brain

In these participants, specific brain "functions" such as speech were highly lateralized, meaning only one half of the brain was able to perform it to a satisfying degree.

Note that these were already not neuro-typical people prior to the experiments (given the regular, debilitating epileptic seizures), so reaching general conclusions from these experiments is hard.

Remember also that, like our brains, our bodies are also highly lateralized, such that the right-half of our brain controls the left-side of our body, and the left-half of the brain controls the right-side of our body. If you ever wanted proof against intelligent design, the way our brain connects to our eyes & body is one very strong argument..

Anyway, one experiment stands to mind where one half of the brain was instructed to perform some action (move the left arm, or something similar). Then the other half would be asked _why_ that arm was just moved. It would confabulate, on the spot, totally legit, but obviously bullshit, sounding reasoning. E.g. "I felt cold so I wanted to put on a coat", rather than "the experimenter instructed me to move it".

So, rather than claiming "I don't know", it would just make up a plausible reasoning. It is really unimaginable to _not_ know why you moved your arm..
Whole chicken, stick it on a tray, whack it in the oven, chop some onions if you fancy it. Bam, not far off 1kg of meat for 5 GBP.

Healthy, tasty, keeps in the fridge for a good amount of time, can be used for sandwiches, roast dinners, snacking cold or hot, whatever.

Without excusing Joe specifically, lying is not seen by nearly everyone as intrinsically wrong in the same way rape is. Lying in response to an unjust question can be seen as just, e.g. answering "What's the code to the door? Tell me or I'll shoot" with a duress code, or more controversially answering "Where did you go to school?" in such a way that you appear to be wealthier during a job interview where candidates from poorer backgrounds are discriminated against.

I don't think this absolves Joe because I don't think anyone would have discriminated against him on the basis of where his kids went to school, or that he could have reasonably expected them to.
Hopefully, soon we'll be able to get the exact pleasure that comes from animal fats and proteins without slaughtering cows or plant-based imitations — cultured meat is already a thing, it's a matter of time before it becomes affordable:

This sounds like the "trough of disillusionment", I'd say that means things only increase from there.
I love fable mushrooms and mushrooms in general. They are not steak substitutes. I’m surprised by people who make this claim.

100/100 if a good chef cooks fable mushroom and a filet or ribeye or sirloin and blind taste tests they are distinguishable.

And that’s ok. Mushrooms and steak are different. The textures are a little similar but definitely different. Things can be different, that’s ok.
I came back to the comments to say this!
I'm quite tolerant (perhaps overly so) but I can't stand bullies, un-professional people or unpolite people in the workenvironment.
I'm 100% not on one of those.

What the author is ON to this statement is when people say "I can't stand X" it really means "I don't know how to deal with X", and that's 75% true for me.
Code as documentation feels like a good idea because code is the only reliable source of truth. But it also assumes that code can comprehensively express all assumptions and other info, which sounds more like wishful thinking.

Auto-generated API docs combined with handwritten documentation that covers what can't be expressed in code and includes some useful examples seems like the right approach to me. In practice that's the kind of doc I tend to have the best experience with. For example the Rust stdlib docs are auto-generated but the language also supports notes and (automatically unit-tested) examples in docstrings which means the API docs are filled with explanations & examples and mentions what assumptions are made about inputs.

For me the perfect setup would be about 25 hours of work per week. Something like 4 days, 6 hours each day. Or 6 days with 4 hours of work.
"Getting something like that at a veggie butcher would be cool."

Wouldn't it just be shipped in plastic and repacked in plastic?
In the 90s I used 3 different desktop OSes where the UI followed a style guide, and that style guide evolved gradually over years, allowing you to glance at a control and be familiar with its possibilities. Now even on one device, the user sees 10 kinds of different controls and new ones that are thrown at them all the time. The problem is surely that you can't rely on the user _recognising_ the control you've built. You have to design as if every user might be parsing it for the first time.
Your question in the title seems to be the opposite of what you write (you appear to ask: why is UDP DNS faster on the Mac)

>If it turned out to be a known code that (say) Canada used for low-security consular messages, that'd quickly narrow down or close the case.

It was made up by the two kids, so maybe they did that but it didn’t narrow down their case…
Of course you're right about apples-to-apples but a guy like CR7 has scored quite a lot more goals than your average striker, surely? Keep in mind he also has had a longer career with more games, due to being really good. It's hard to say who is median because the not-top guys don't get that many games before they get sold to a lower standard team, or just benched.

Isn't it normal in basketball to have one guy dominating the points?
Pandoc is written in Haskell.
I've avoided it because of the push. A tech-adjacent company that's pushing a "disruption" that hard makes me very suspicious.

In principle I'm all for it ethically, and it's probably no "worse" then any other ready meal/processed food à la Unilever that I sometimes eat. But I'd rather just eat tofu (which I do very much like anyway) than whatever some "founder" is pushing on me so he can get another funding round in.
In Germany they introduced the McVegan a couple years ago. It wasn't great with a weird patty.

They changed that to Veganburger TS sometime ago https://www.mcdonalds.com/de/de-de/product/veganburger-ts-25...

The Veganburger is really good. The patty has a nice bite to it and the sauce tastes great. Great alternative.
People like variety.
Also, people may still like eating meat, but want to eat less of it - not for health reasons, but for the environment and to kill less animals.

Paying too high can often lead to more extortion. There are people who worked as domestic helpers from Philippines or Indonesia at other countries. They are paid about US$500 a month, which is 5-10x of average salary in their home country. The bad news is that you would need take huge loan, with multiple family members as guaranteers, to pay for the “training fees”.
How does IRS or USPS find your whereabouts if you move then?
Yup, things where the texture is very removed from the original food definitely make sense.
So are they robots if we throw an app frontend and some IoT thing at it so there's a computer involved?
Could you expand a bit on what the self-work entailed?
Metric is easier. How does the humanity count? By using powers of 10. The usability it's right there. Just keep adding zeros.
I would prefer unprocessed food as well but it sounds like cost is a major driver in this case.
I don't know why but I just can't keep myself from laughing at the name of McPlant.
(I do think plant based meat is a great thing though, it's just a hilarious name.)
The oil-ness is not pleasant.
Indeed. Impossible meat etc are also different, and that's OK too.

I'm confounded by folks hammering on about how close they are to 'meat'. Hey, chicken, pork, beef are all different too! So what's the problem? Are they good? Do you know a good recipe? That's all that counts.
Vegan chicken nuggets are similar easy food than processing vegetables yourself.

For me, I love meat, makes it easier to buy the 'better' processed food having this option.

If your supermarket doesn't have a vegi option than I can't buy it, try it etc.
They could ship a lot of them in less plastic to a vendor where you could get them in a paper bag.
I wonder how many pwned email and password pair still match. Crooks can take control of these pwned accounts and pretend to be trustworthy.
I can't think of any project I've worked on where external test suites even make sense. I suppose it would work when you have a very clear spec or compliance document you could write independent tests, or if you're rewriting a system and need the public API to be bug-for-bug compatible with the old one, but other than those niche use cases I wouldn't want to keep those tests external at all.

Even if you do have external tests, you still need internal ones for the surface area your external tests don't check for. Unit tests and such don't make sense at all combined with a separate test repo.
It took my lokal German supermarket ages to even offer something.

I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time parsing this paper. It looks like even calculating "partial partitions" is exponential. Have they found a nice polynomial time algorithm to find determinants or is this just an exponential algorithm but with fewer components than what is "traditional"?

FYI, The Bareiss algorithm can calculate the determinant in polynomial time, including bounding the bit complexity to polynomial space [0].
