Again, you don't have to convince me. I eat meat too.

I agree, meat calories are higher quality for a variety of reasons -- you don't need to argue this point to me.

My point is that these reasons are not essential reasons. You can survive without Taurine, Creatine, Carnosine because they are all synthesized by the body. Is it preferable to supplement with them in a diet? Yes. Are there more than a billion vegetarians on earth who don't supplement these? Also yes.

We can and should accept both of these facts:

1) Meat is a better calorie source.

2) Meat is less efficient in terms of energy consumption and this is a problem.

You can't disprove #2 by arguing about #1.

> What's the JS equivalent of "place an index.php file in a folder to deploy"?

My favorite way to do this is to add a custom script to package.json like:

"start": "pm2 start index.js --name myapp --watch"

Any file change will reload the application and if it crashes it will be restarted. So just scp/rsync files if that's your desired workflow.

In my experience, it's far easier and faster than setting up nginx, apache, fpm, etc, etc.
I love these types of techniques. Need a basic no nonsense queue? Postgres. Need a basic reporting infrastructure? Postgres. Need a document store? Postgres.

But every single time this comes up, people on the engineering teams Ive been on all throw their hands up and accuse folks of overengineering or underengineering. You need rabbit or kafka. We should move to mongo. Etc.

Thats the part thats hard.
There used to be a bug where bitlocker would rely on the firmware's encryption functionality if it was there, and there were cases of firmware with a literal "if checkpasswd () then"... overwrite that check to true and you're in.

Soif it concerned a disk with that vulnerability, maybe they did it like that.

A "bipartisan coalition cut from the same cloth" does not sound very "bi", nor very "partisan" to me, beyond the absolute barest colloquial use of the term to describe the fact that there are two choices of the flag you can raise in order to functionally participate.

What you are describing to me sounds a lot more like a single powerbase with a few disagreements of narcissism amongst its participants, with a dramatic hegemonic control over the broader citizenship.

The self interests of this neoliberal consensus include empire-building, and have since the cold war that spawned and shaped it. A program to spread that hegemony broader and broader to preserve the flow of resources into the imperial center.

I'm trying not to assign morality here per se; just give I think a better model with, I think, more explanatory power.
Yes, this is key to the entire premise of the book series in all its iterations. Seldon's psychohistory is able to predict the movements of people in aggregate, with the obvious allegory being the uncertainty principle. In the later novels - many the interesting problems the foundation run into arise from the failure of Seldon's model to account for changes in underlying humanity (e.g.: the psychic abilities of the Mule). Of course we also learn Seldon's predictions are being 'helped along' from behind the scenes by the Second Foundation. Which brings to mind some of Jaron Lanier's critiques of A.I., as dependent on human curated, reinforced and updated datasets.

Memorization is a trainable skill, and it's often overlooked in the US.

I closely followed your work while you were at Temporal. "React for Backend" resonated with what I experienced while building couple of systems in the backend!

It's been a year or two since then, and I'm frankly surprised that Temoporal-like services don't appear that mainstream. At least in my small circle friends, orchestration framework is still in the "early adopter" stage of innovation.

Any recent take on the adoption of Temporal-like frameworks? Do you still believe it will have a React like moment in the future?

> As draconian and litigious as Nintendo is about these things, previous projects of this type have managed to avoid the gaze of its lawyers so far. [...]
The reason is probably because projects like these don't really infringe on any of Nintendo's intellectual property. Coders like Roseman aren't just ripping Nintendo's assets (like textures) out of their games and slapping them onto the PC, instead, they're remaking the code themselves, which Nintendo has yet to find a way to crack down on.

How is this is even remotely legal. They have literally decompiled Nintendo's binary -- up to the point the decompiled sources build to a binary with the same checksum -- and are now redistributing it. There's absolutely no interoperability motivation or any other type of DMCA exemption that would apply here. It's like claiming that the art assets are subject to copyright but not the program.

If you don't redistribute the money directly to the people, that tax burden can fall disproportionately on the working class, and you get stuff like this:

I am surprised as well, especially considering that their compiler does little to actually no optimization. For instance, it won't remove dead code or unused variables. These seem like low hanging fruits that could save memory and cycles on low power devices.

Most people on modern engineering teams haven't built systems services themselves. I've seen this cause a lot of insecurity on making choices, because they don't have the experience in how to actually assess what will work or won't.

JSON5 parsing is unfortunately slower than JSON. Not intrinsically, but JSON.parse/stringify are both natively implemented and highly optimized. If browsers started supporting it, it would take off overnight. I can't tell you how often I've wanted to put comments or not worry about removing the last trailing comma from a list.

It would win for some of the same reasons HTML5 beat XHTML. Ease of use and implicit rules beat pedantic strictness any day of the week. "Programmers are lazy."

That's right. You can look for signs of what the piece of code does, or what the memory is used for. Functions will betray they purpose by doing calls to external libraries. Those libraries have functions with certain names and their arguments have names too. Then you have counters which you can recognize by looping and incrementing by a certain amount.

Some variables are easily guessed because they refer to a string that's stored in plain text. "%d:%s" is likely to be a printf format string, so you can follow that lead and find out which arguments correspond to %d and %s. Sometimes you get lucky and the debug message tells you directly something like "Invalid value of the coin counter: %d". This is a dead giveaway for what the argument corresponding to %d is.

Other kinds of variables can be guessed by using a debugger and looking at their values, or patching code to modify them and watching what happens.
Requiring anything is a job, but some people volunteer because they enjoy doing it as a break from their job.
This just seems like conjecture. There is already a mapping layer between the specific nerve activation and spatial information. A random mapping wouldn't be any more or less efficient in that regard.

I could see something like going from one to two eyes causing this. When having one eye, you'd have a random nerve mapping. It's advantageous to have two eyes over one, but if the optical inputs for two eyes were to be randomly remapped, then the evolutionary knowledge stored in the single-eye mapping would be lost. So it would advantageous to map the optical nerves from two eyes in a way that mostly fits the single-eye mapping. Obviously, this is just a random theory without any evidence. I offer it only as an example of a logical argument as to why the spatial orientation of an object would affect the spatial orientation of the nerve mapping.

No, with the work done by people actually observing and counting polar bear populations.

At any rate, going back to the original non-bear related claims that you're picking a fight with, those outlets were in both cases reporting measurements and claims made by scientists.

Indeed, you could argue that they aren't reliable and the reality was different, but then you'd have to concede that in the past "consensus climate science" has been wrong across the board and thus that this is also a possibility today.

I think in reality the claims made about basic weather stats back then were probably true, or at least as true as they could get at the time. Climatology was too new and too small to have been politicized in the same way it is today. And newspapers had a different ethos around trying to present facts neutrally, they also were less politicized than today. But by all means, argue that the global consensus of scientists (both US and Soviet no less) was wrong.
“Preserved” in the original state, like in museum - yes. Russian communities outside Russia rarely contributed anything new to it. Russian culture actively developed in last 30 years, against all odds and efforts of the state, which coincidentally wanted to freeze it or roll back in time too.

Pebble ran third party native apps (generally written in C) sandboxed via the ARM SVC/USR-mode privilege system, integrated with the onboard MPU.

Fitbit - after hiring many Pebble staff - supports third party apps written in JavaScript. These run on the pre-existing JerryScript engine, and are still sandboxed on the native side should the VM have holes. This made it much easier to get started as a developer, but imposed an upper limit on app performance vs. the native apps seen on Pebble.
My only hesitation with methods like this is it ends up splitting the business rules into two places, where one is sort of obscured.
