> In general I don't quite understand the "meat-envy" displayed by many vegans.

In general I don't understand the desire to insert a comment of this kind into every discussion about vegetarian/vegan foods.

That people might be vegetarian but also like the taste of meat seems such an obvious reason I don't understand why it doesn't occur to people.
How many actual Buddhist teachers have you met?
Actually it was shipped. “Microsoft disabled the AARD code for the final release of Windows 3.1, but did not remove it, so that it could have become reactivated later by the change of a single byte in an installed system.” [1]

I can buy goat milk in the supermarket. I think nobody would assume that if they buy goat milk that it is the exact same as cow milk taste wise, or that it contains the same nutrients. Worst case: It takes somebody one time to figure out that goat milk in their hot chocolate milk was not a good idea.

Why is it so different with oat milk, almond milk, soy milk or whatever? You look at it in the supermarket and you can see the ingredients. Before consuming it you can see that it has a different colour than the milk you usually bought, different consistency and most importantly, different taste. But it is called milk, because for most things you can use it in a very very similar way as (cow) milk. You can put it into your tea, use it for your cereals, for cooking, whatever. Sure it tastes different and you need to give it a try if you like it and what kind of vegan milk you like.

But for me the milk is a hint about what ways I can consider using it; even when it is called "not milk". And I think that is the issue for the diary lobby. That might lower the barrier a bit for people to try it out, leading to some people potentially abandoning (fresh) animal milk altogether.
Perhaps the closest analogy is “method Champagnois” for sparkling white wine produced using champagne grape varieties and techniques, before the word champagne became protected, and “method Champagnois” thus became illegal.

Not making a judgement either way. Personally, I feel these alternatives work in the same place as milk (coffee, cereal, et cetera), but are nutritionally very different from milk so I can appreciate both sides of this argument.
NHS staff report 20k claims of patient sexual misconduct over five years
Lol I’m just ignoring all this, my team had WAY higher output and feedback was always extremely good (from team members and management) Still keep in touch with all my former team members and many requested to follow my to my next roles.

The truth and my point was that as a remote manager you have a lot more input requirements. Basically; you need constant touch points with every person. These comments also point out the challenges in that, don’t want to over do it either.
> In general I don't quite understand the "meat-envy" displayed by many vegans. As if there aren't tons of extremely delicious "vegan-original" foods

Because many vegans were meat eaters earlier in life. So they sometimes crave a tasty burger or sausage or salami, or a cheese-based dish for the same reason you do: they grew up eating those foods and learned to like them.
I have mixed feelings about this...

On one hand, if you're vegan and want white stuff to put into coffee, the closest word to that would be "milk".

On the other hand, if i bought a "cheese and ham sandwich", I'd expect actual cheese and actual ham inside, without looking on the back side, if there is a "vegan" label or looking at ingredients list.
So then prohibit misleading product packaging rather than prohibiting a specific phrase.
That's because they have done literally no research into Buddhism, they just have some kind of orientalist stereotype of it that they got from watching kungfu movies and expect reality to conform to that idea

It's high time we do so and we actually take the time to look back before jumping all-in on new ventures. Many fancy new projects that claimed, for example, to be so much faster/better than "oldschool" SQL databases learned the hard way what ACID means (or rather, their users did).

Infants should not really be drinking anything else besides breast milk or special milk in general. Like not even water... So I could see how militant vegan people could endanger their babys. But not because plant based milk is inherently bad.

> Maybe if you qualify that with “unusually good” therapist.

Not "unusually good", but a working match, sure. A thing not enough people realize is that therapy is like dating. Not every therapist is going to be a "good match" for you, so if things don't seem to click for some reason, just thank them and go look for another one.

> IME even Eliza in Emacs is better than most therapists. ChatGPT surely leaves them in the dust.

If limited to textual channel, maybe. But a real therapy will have at least the visual channel (if on Zoom), or full presence (if in person) - there's a lot of information relevant to therapy that gets communicated this way. Tone, cadence, uncontrolled reactions, body language, etc. That alone gives even a mediocre therapist a leg up in this comparison.

Is loneliness a disease?

It's an honest question. I never saw it as an issue. I tend to be a loner, but in a sense I was also never truly lonely.
Here’s almond milk referenced in a recipe in 1410:

“For to make blomanger. Nym rys & lese hem & washe hem clene, & do þereto god almande mylke & seþ hem tyl þey al tobrest; & þan lat hem kele.”

People have used the word milk to refer to some plant products for too long for this to confuse people now.
I don't have the statistics at hand but I remember a study about road degradation based on vehicle type. The difference between industrial vehicles and passenger vehicles (including pickup trucks) was enormously skewed so that industrial vehicles were responsible for 80% of the degradation, Pareto-like. Meaning that heavier passenger vehicles might not make a difference.
I believe this was the issue with replika, which encouraged people to develop emotional attachments with their 'AI partner' and then first put romantic chat responses behind a pay wall before removing them entirely a year or so later.

From the outside this could be seen as a good thing, but for someone involved in the relationship, someone who may struggle with a traditional relationship and may see this as the only available option, I'm lead to understand the event was remarkably traumatic.
That book is way more useful for techniques than the recipes in it. I wouldn't dream of trying their mapo tofu!

I'm not sure 'a doctor' is necessarily the right person to consult, but lack of it can induce lactose intolerance, and it's a good source of calcium which children have greater need of than adults (so a dairy-free diet that's been great for you for 20y isn't necessarily great for your child), and perhaps other vitamins, IANA expert.

And since GP said infants, if we're including (human) breast milk as 'dairy' then it probably is reasonable to ask doctor about it - IANA parent either but I think the standard powder or whatever substitutes are still (non-human) dairy products?

Speaking as someone who started working in the mid 90s, we're definitely well past The Internet's "Golden Hour".

These days we can see first hand just how much societal degeneracy it has helped facilitate. All the latest Culture Wars, malice, scams, cancellations, filter bubbles, misinformation madness etc would not be possible without the Internet.

This easily helps explain the point of looking backwards to when the tech was just just that, tech.

I mean, you're looking at the future of coding with that one file. Just because you can imagine different revisions of that file leading to different personalities leading to different products doesn't change that.

What would be the motivation for a company to do this though? Trickery is not the way to win over new customers. The people buying these products want “not” milk. They’re specifically seeking out a product that isn’t milk. These companies have every reason to highlight the “not” rather than to hide it.
Looks to me like they need to cache search result sets then before it's fair. I have to have an account anyway.

Not to mention incrementally refining a search by adding/removing/changing keywords.

Those limits start to look increasingly low to me. As in, not your main search engine but the option to use when all else fails.

Of course they don't mind because it's subscription pricing.

Not really. The structural members are indeed made of glass.

If you say "Robotic arm decorated with glass" I imagine a robotic arm which would function on its own and glass is glued or attached on it. Here if you remove the glass what you are left with is not a robotic arm without glass, but a pile of actuators.
V has flexible memory management. This is stated on their website and documentation:

1) Uses GC as a convenient default and is optional (can be turned off with -gc none)

2) Can use autofree (enabled with -autofree)

3) Can use arena allocation (enabled with -prealloc)

4) Can be managed manually (-gc none)
Except for one piece, all the structural parts are stained glass.
It's always been like that I think... I guess the only difference is that I've noticed I'm doing it too now. But I think that's only because I now have a past to be nostalgic about.

Perhaps the same is true of HN / tech communities more generally. Tech as a sector was much smaller a couple of decades ago. And many of us probably only got our first computers in the late 90s early 2000s. I'd argue it was until the 2010s that the internet really become ubiquitous. I'm guessing a large segment of us have only recently been able to talk about past technology in any meaningful way.
Video editing is a thing. Something that takes 30 minutes to cook can (and should!) be cut down to 10 minutes of video. You cut five onions, you film how you cut one and edit out the rest. If you stir for 10 minutes watching for certain signs to note when it's done - put in a 30 second show&tell for when it's close to done but not yet; and a 30 second show&tell for when it is ready; and edit out the other 9 minutes.

Of course. That was the plan and one of the reasons why the U.S. did not back down on Ukraine NATO membership in 2021, with the anticipated result (article is from before the war and there are plenty of other sources):

Well, openers are the hardest part and it sounds like you're doing that well without the bot. 10-20 messages is a lot! In my view, the goal of an online dating interaction is some light banter before setting up a date.

Once a match replies, ask some playful open ended questions and if you're telling a short story, leave some cliff-hangers to try to get a follow-up response and then segue into setting up a date. Looking at my last conversation, I asked my match out on a date in my 7th message. After that we moved over to SMS.
Measures of danger (at least in terms of fatality) does seem to scale with velocity squared.

I do not find info on various measures of danger may scale with mass. There is a huge connection between fatality and vehicle size, at least up to the size of today's giant trucks and SUVs (I do not find buses nor semis included). Of course size is correlated with mass. Though, what I read, the danger of today's trucks and SUVs is due to the high front end impacting human bodies where they are more vulnerable (torso instead of legs) and then dragging them under instead of allowing them to go over.

OTOH, stopping distance and reaction distance is linear with velocity.

I have seen a couple of TikTok creators do cooking videos in a very condensed way. They cut everything, but the important parts out of the video. For example no one wants to watch something in the oven for 20 Minutes, just say that it goes in the oven for 20 minutes and show the result after you took it out.

It would be better to say that because of preferential attachment in a networked world that the rich get a massively out sized share of the booty.

It is interesting to see this play out with NFL football podcasts. This use to be a space of random individuals but then former and even current players started podcasts.

Now the Kelce brothers and Taylor Lewan have podcasts. They don't just have the name recognition with football fans relative to the average person but the subject matter expertise too. They also have a cool factor with who wouldn't prefer to work with a current NFL player about football than you or I? Not to mention 50 million dollar contracts so they have so much more capital to make things work. The average person and Kelce/Lewan can both just have their friends on the podcasts as guests but the NFL players friends are also NFL players that the average person has to do a nearly infinite amount more work to get on.

This process applies to pretty much everything in every domain.

I think it’s both, but ageing plays a significant role. As I have grown older, I am able to both notice and ignore more things. Knowing more about the state of the world means you just hear more, from less. An article that required 10min read and 3 min looking up definitions now requires 3min skim and I can move on to another one.

This makes the present “more shrill”. Being able to more quickly identify content of value (or lack thereof) means you trawl more easily through large amounts.

Of course, it’s important to remember that we are not infallible and trusting yourself too much with these techniques is an easy way to become disconnected from the real world.

Being younger means more easily being able to narrow your focus, and less easily feel like the world is too loud.

This is probably true as well, but the internet editor map editors use are often very different than what they would offer the community, requiring a lot of polish compared to what's used internally (and we all know that the 20% last polish takes 80% of the time) Although there are some games that offer the very same experience, like what Crysis had (with the CryEngine Editor) and ARMA series.

"Veggie discs" gave me a chuckle.

As a vegetarian I don't actually care for meat substitutes anyway, I call them veggie junk food since most of them contain dubious amounts of actual vegetables but I just don't see consumers being confused or hurt by calling veggie burgers, burgers.

SPAs get flak because some people have strong opinions on what a website should be, completely ignoring that many if not most software companies make client-server applications where the browser just happens to be the software distribution method, and none of the big web ideas matter.
