> - saturated fats are generally bad and should be minimized in the human diet. Milk is full of them and they are direct causes of heart disease and other top killer health issues for people

Of course, that's why a human mother's milk is 50-60% saturated fat, right? Saturated fat consumption grams per capita has basically remained steady for the last 120 years or risen slightly, even 20 years before heart disease started to surge right around the time Crisco in the 1920s was introduced into the food supply.

Let's look at the data since 1900. We were told to replace saturated fat with polyunsaturated. Look let's see how that turned out:

Wow, would you look at that rise in heart disease deaths. Totally running in lock step with saturated fat consumption wasn't it? Whoops, nope!
There's some interest in interpreted C++ in the scientific community (e.g. ROOT), but C and C++ are just about the worst possible languages to run interpreted. Ugly as it may be, the "interpreted shell, compiled core" approach is the winning one.
> namely anybody can create FREELY a RISC-V microarchitecture AT WORLWIDE SCALE

The problem with this argument is that it ignores the cost of creating the microarchitecture. It’s almost certainly cheaper to license an Arm A series core than to create a comparable RISC-V core from scratch.

Sure we have a firm like SiFive that licenses RV cores to third parties but the existence of firms like Arm and SFive shouldn’t be taken for granted. If rumour has it SiFive were almost taken over by Intel. Thankfully Nvidia were stopped from buying Arm.

If you wish for Arm’s demise you may get the end of their business model and that probably isn’t a great outcome.

It really depends on the workload. Modern thoughts on the matter trend towards a design called "race to sleep" where even your efficiency cores are still pretty beefy relative to an A53. That model is focused on quickly turning the core on, running through all of the work, and going back to sleep, rather than staying on longer on a much weaker core. Doing this effectively requires OS support to coalesce timer deadlines to bunch up as much work as possible on each wakeup cycle.

But with software support the model is very effective which is why you see most e-cores these days being relatively beefy OoOE cores that can leave the A53 in the dust. Whether that's Icestorm in the M1, Goldmont on Intel, or A57s on big.LITTLE ARM SoCs.

I'm from the telnet generation. It's sad that Gemini got so popular while underdelivering [0] or missing the mark in some areas. That makes me sad because even if a project came along to 'do things right', I don't even have the bandwidth to adopt another protocol I'll hardly use, and then invest the time to build content and gather links.

> But why it isn't markdown? What does [Gemtext] add that markdown does not have?

I think that's the wrong question. Based on what I've read of Gemini, its focus is on simplification. The question the Gemini authors are interested in would be "What does Gemtext remove from Markdown?"

To which the most obvious answer, as you point out, is "HTML".

As for "Why not use markdown with the HTML elements taken out?" - does the world really need another markdown variant that's less capable than the current lowest common denominator?

I would argue it's actually a better idea to just call it a different format altogether, rather than attempting to fragment the markdown landscape even further. It also helps to forestall the question of "Why not add HTML support, like all other markdown renderers?" If adding HTML support is an anti-goal (which I believe it is) then making it so that adding that support requires someone to actually implement an HTML renderer puts up more of a barrier than leaving the door open for someone to just switch out the markdown engine for one that already does.

In Venice, the small local population amidst a substantial influx of tourists fosters a tighter community.

Actually, lots of extremely local communities gather around social hubs, typically squares featuring bars where people routinely visit for breakfast, brunch, and aperitifs. It doesn't take long to gain recognition and differentiate yourself from a tourist; alcohol often facilitates conversation, too :).

If you want to see this in action, there are a fair number of sagre (these are summer festivals typical of small towns and villages throughout Italy, but not so much in the cities) that unfold right in the heart of Venice each year!
(Try searching for Festa de san piero de casteo or Sagra di san giacomo dall'orio and look at some pictures)

Moreover, as Venice doesn't have cars (and boats just work in a different way), you're likely to follow the same few paths to and from work. This familiarity aids in establishing recognition on the street.

Being young can be beneficial when integrating with locals, thanks to the significant student population residing in the city (relative to the number of permanent residents). However, it's hardly an impediment; it's common to see people of all ages enjoying drinks during aperitivo. YMMV depending on your level of introversion or extroversion.

Nightlife after midnight is concentrated in a few places, and again it won't take long to recognize the same faces, nor to be recognized too.

Overall, as a single data-point, during my seven years there, I found Venice's social dynamics to touch a sweet spot in its unique blending of small-town camaraderie and large-scale artistic events.
> calling free(NULL) is well-defined and safe

Probably showing my age. SunOS 4, PalmOS, and 3BSD reputedly crashed. (There were also double free exploits back in 1996.)

This further illustrates my point, though: Removing the NULL check is a single conditional to remove, as opposed to littering the free + guard everywhere. In effect, by isolating duplicated pieces of logic, it keeps possibilities open.

How much of that lost is directly related to Intel and how they're soo behind in tech with thinkpads?
Time-sharing! It's back!
To me, this is kind of a good thing since it points to computers increasingly becoming akin to durable goods rather than "replace it every 2-3 years" electronics. Which they should be - your average (i.e. non-hardcore gamer and non-developer) computer buyer probably doesn't have needs that demand even last-gen hardware, let alone what will be available in another couple years. Now that the pandemic demand glut is satisfied, people hopefully won't need another computer for 5 years or more. Less turnover sales = less e-waste.

Also on a side note, Lenovo absolutely trashed the Thinkpad line and I hate them for it. My last three work computers assigned to me were all Thinkpads and they have consistently been absolute garbage compared to the IBM-era machines.

What do you service though ? EV's are so ridiculously simple compared to a modern ICE car. Timing belts, PCV valve, and O2 sensors; oh my! All that is gone. there's some trickiness to regenerative braking but that's simple in comparison. There's still tires and glass and bodyword to deal with and repair, but just such a huge chunk of auto maintenance just disappears on EVs it's not even funny. Never have to take your car in for an oil service again. There is the new situation of maintenance on the battery pack, and that's a good chunk of change for the labor on it, but that's still relatively rare compared to troubles on an ICE.

The corresponding magic phrase in liberal US school systems has become “equity issue.” I’m a pretty progressive guy but the number of times I’ve seen people “win” debates by declaring that their opponent’s ideas cause an “equity issue” with absolutely no rationale is unreal. And it can be applied no matter what position you’d like to support. Online work is an equity issue because poor kids don’t have computers. Giving all kids free laptops is an equity issue because poor kids don’t have professional parents who know how to help them use them. You can’t win.

And, related to the OP, I believe one reason this ends up being used as a weapon is that it’s so arbitrary, you can never predict when or how it might be sprung on you, so it behooves you to go on the offense and invent the equity issues, vague “discomfort”, and declare others witches in the interest of self-preservation.
The reason Stalker is so different from Roadside Picnic is very simply that Tarkovsky made the film twice, the second time without the original script.

He spent an entire summer filming the Strugatskys' original screenplay. But he was using American Kodak 5247 film stock that was found to be out of date. He tried several times to confirm the problem with the Soviet processing lab, but they were unfamiliar with the stock, and only by the time he was done shooting did they realize that the filmed footage was in fact unusable. Tarkovsky himself suspected it may have been sabotage. Apparently (I've never been able to confirm this) the sepia footage at the beginning of the film is from this footage.

Tarkovsky was at this point despondent, not just unhappy with the destruction of his footage, but also with the direction the film was taking, and with his cinematographer (Rerberg, who was critical of the film and the script), whom he fired shortly thereafter. While negotiating with the Soviet film board to get more money and time to reshoot the film, he had several workshops with the Strugatskys to try to develop a better screenplay. Eventually Boris gave up and flew back home, but Arkady persisted, and finally wrote Tarkovsky a short treatment that suggested reducing the entire film to a bare-bones, more philosophical story with nameless characters and very few overt scifi elements. He then encouraged Tarkovsky to go do his own thing.

This appears to have been the breakthrough that helped Tarkovsky find the direction and inspiration he needed, and he used the treatment as the basis for a new screenplay that ended up having very little to do with the book. He wrote enthuastically to Arkady that for the first time as a director he had a screenplay he could call his own. (His previous films had all been written by others, or collaborations, and mostly adaptations.)

Eventually, Tarkovsky was able to negotiate with the film board to shoot a two-part film instead. They would pretend his first shoot, which had already been financed, was the "first part", and he received the necessary funding to shoot the second half. The Strutgatskys, who were still credited, weren't very happy with the final film.

The whole story of Stalker is complicated. I recommend the book "The Films of Andrei Tarkovsky: A Visual Fugue", by Johnson and Petrie, for more information.

I had a short story idea where explorers come across a planet full of ancient ruins and gentle unintelligent beasts.

I have been machinating on this for a couple days and I think I've decided this is a good thing.

CCS Combo 1 and CCS Combo 2 are not interoperable and removing all the AC bits from both doesn't yield a compatible or smaller connector. So there's no real benefit to universal adoption of CCS if there's still two incompatible standards.

NACS however is very capable and a much smaller connector than CCS. It has a robust and hardened charging network. And any competing network supporting NCAS instantly expands it's customer base to every Tesla owner, and Teslas dwarf every other EV combined.

I have two EVs, one being a Model 3 and the other a Leaf. I initially wanted two EVSEs and had my home spec'd with two 240v outlets in the garage. One of those outlets remains unused because I found a Tesla to J1772 adapter for $100 that works perfectly to charge the Leaf. To add a J1772 charger to my house would cost me at least $500 for a breaker, outlet, and EVSE. I can stow this adapter in my Leaf's glove box and have access to every Tesla destination charger for free in addition to the J1772 network.

Yes. The difference between man-made EMFs and natural EMFs are that man made are polarized and natural EMFs or unpolarized.

Also, the wave lengths of man-made EMFs are nonexistent in the natural world, and for the majority of human evolution.

It should also be noted that not all dairy production is equal. New Zealand, for example, produces milk with a much lower carbon footprint (https://www.dairynz.co.nz/media/5794851/carbon-footprint-of-...). The formula isn't a secret. Grass fed cows produce less methane and CO2. There is also amazing research on reducing methane production by up to 98% by supplementing the diet of cows with seaweed (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-30/seaweed-a....).

The point being, advocating for abstention is rarely a winning strategy. Instead we should use technology and policy to improve our production methods. Then we can save the environment and continue to enjoy products we consider to be important to our lifestyles. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

The fact that the effect was minor (a talk getting downgraded) is not an excuse for the magnitude of the procedural problem. If a publicly voted decision by the Rust leadership committee can be undone by a single member, than that seriously calls into question that the committee has any real power.

Yep, this was also the case with my old phone. Opening apps took a while but after that, everything was more fluid afterwards and clearly indicated that storage played a part in the device's slowness. Though, the 1.5 GB ram and the quad-core Cortex-A7 still made the device pretty slow.

Awareness of the rules makes a difference too.

If a particular political group is frequently posting videos that flagrantly break the TOS (as might happen with particularly polarized members), they're much more likely to get reported and banned before they make much headway. It's creators that sit firmly within the rules or carefully run right up alongside their boundaries that do well in the long term.
