The experience in India is markedly different, given just how many people are vegetarian there (for a ballpark figure: at any mealtime, about 1/3 the Indian population, or about 500 million people, eats a fully-vegetarian meal). Restaurants and chains proudly advertise that they only serve 'pure vegetarian' food, and people—even not-vegetarian people—flock to them in droves anyway.

Western veg(etari)an labelling has motifs of leaves, or plants, etc. Indian labels are a lot more subtle and abstract: a green dot in a green square for lacto-vegetarian, and a red/brown triangle in a red/brown square for non-lacto-vegetarian (ergo, egg products are in this group)[1]. The Indian labelling is also mandatory, so all food packaging and every menu item in Indian restaurants has to be accompanied by a green or red icon (this however leads to some mildly funny things like 'chicken tikka masala powder' being itself vegetarian, but the dish that it is used in being non-vegetarian).

I think this whole disdain for vegetarian labelling is entirely because vegetarian food has got a terrible rep in the West. This is likely due to poor experience in cooking vegetables (no one likes steamed broccoli), to narrow restaurant options, to simply not being exposed to other cuisines besides American, French, and English.

I've already given Indian cuisine as the gold standard for delicious vegetarian food; other alternatives (that may not necessarily be traditionally entirely vegetarian) include Indonesian, Tibetan, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Mexican, and Italian.

Final addendum: every study on vegan/vegetarian food should include a subsection or two containing a case study on India.

Yes, that's the one. I'm not going to go through all of the players, but take a look at Katana MRP. They have a very rigid way of defining what an order is, what a product is, etc. Very specifically, they only allow one layer of subassembly, whereas at least two manufacturers I know have at least 2 levels of subassemblies. They expect their users to adhere to their process, not the other way around.
This comment reduces several different concerns into a single opinion that long is clickbait and short is just right. At the end of the day, videos should be as long as they need to be to suit the type of content, the creator’s style, and their target audience’s taste, and it’s offensive for content platforms to assume or countermand your preferences or tastes.

The issue is that platforms are also forcing these reductive, drain-circling usage patterns motivated by competition and profitability, but it especially sucks when you do it to a well-established user base. Especially since it’s the easiest thing in the world to just let users decide if they want shorts or not.

You are in your right to think that long form videos are bloated click bait. I’m in mine to think that shorts are predominantly attention deficit trivialities for memes, influencer trash, and also clickbait. What sucks is that I can’t get away from shorts, and worse than that, shorts circumvent YouTube’s neutered, paltry search and recommendation algos and are constantly pushing even lower quality and uninteresting if not completely irrelevant (and sometimes inappropriate) rubbish higher than things I’m actually looking for.

You at least can go to TikTok. I will have to wait until a critical mass of my favorite content creators migrate to a less shitty platform.
Confessions of a Netflix DVD Dead-Ender
There are many languages where there is a single word for green and blue, but Greek was not one of those languages.

Since the earliest texts, Greek had distinct words for blue and green, even if many modern authors have confused them, because they did not compare enough texts to be able to understand the correspondences between words and colors.

Ancient Greek was not uniform, there were many dialects, so there are many authors who use different words for colors.

Blue was frequently described as the color of the pigment ultramarine blue or more rarely as the color of the sky. For green there were more words, some of whom have uncertain meaning, like "chloros", which is used in many modern terms for green, but which might have meant something else in Greek. The words whose meaning is certain describe green as the color of grass or as the color of emeralds or as the color of leek.

Well, I suppose the real news is that 70,000 people are stranded and the roads in/out are closed.
Farm trucks are a perfect case for electrification. You install solar panels at the farmhouse and the thing is sitting there with a full charge every time you go to use it without ever making you drive 100 miles away to buy fuel. Farmers often have a commercial driver's license or drive on private roads where one isn't necessary, so the thing can be big and heavy and have enough capacity to run whatever equipment you may need to run in the middle of a field.

But the point isn't about farmers in particular, it's anyone who lives in a rural or suburban area without enough density for mass transit. Plumbers and real estate agents in those areas are not going to find a bus there to take. And there are a lot of those.

There is no clear explanation of what it actually is, just a vague sentence saying "brings your editorial style guide to life" which can mean a lot of things. And the screenshot is a wall of text in the smallest font size across the entire page (even smaller than the labels of the logos that make up 50% of the area), so if it was intended as carrier of important information it wasn't the right choice.

Yes, picture edited that into their post after I replied to it.

I don't personally believe people when they say that anyway, so I'd have taken the same stance even if the post had said that originally. Collectivists like that are never happy if people can make their own personal choices. That's why we now have government mandated phase-outs of liquid fuel vehicles on the horizon whether individuals like it or not. They campaign and bully until they get what they want, which as picture states very clearly is bans on anything convenient in favor of non-private property (n.b. they're fine with swimming pools as long as they're shared pools, and already admitted their actual motivation is dislike of capitalism not a belief that restricting golf will actually achieve anything).
I disagree. Particularly in the "vegan versus vegetarian" debate, it's widely understood that what separates the former from the latter is milk and eggs.

And in this context specifically, it should be evident that regular mayonnaise isn't vegan, since vegans don't eat animal products. Which includes eggs!

Who said the "computer programmers [..] let people down"? "A computer failure" is the rallying cry of middling bureaucrats all over the world because to them it translates into "no one is to blame", used most prominently of course when something is their responsibility.

If you can't make payroll with the payroll software, start hand signing checks, but don't blame "the software" and "the computer programmers".
But then it gets into the ridiculous where white sugar is used. It's white by filtering it with bone char. At that point it's a religion more than a diet.
I've given your resume the once over. Take your lead out. That is not relevant and in fact diminishes your experience. If you want to address internship in a cover letter that is fine.

You talk a great deal about what you have accomplished but not how. What specific platforms and tools did you use on each project? For example, you mention PyTesseract here, but is it on your resume? Maybe it is but I missed it if it is.

Do you want a job related to LLM? If so this should be the first thing you reference, not after GIT.
How do you know all that will happen in your second paragraph? Is there a model making such a prediction for society in the 2-3° scenario? If skeptics of such societal projections are denialists, then are you a doomer?

There's another possibility. Society will adapt and things won't be nightmarish, because 2-3° warming isn't extreme enough to break down society, when people will have decades to adapt.

Better than castigating the HN readership, consider this your opportunity to frame and shape the discussion. An otherwise empty thread is an open opportunity.

Draw some item from the piece, or something you find missing from it. It helps as well to have some store of concepts or ideas that you'd like to see thrown into the discussion. Recent example of mine (first comment to the post it was submitted to at the time: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37267188>).

The other element of this story is that climate change is a difficult narrative to convey freshly. That's in part because the story is bog simple: humans have and are spewing far too much CO2 and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, the consequences will be absolutely catastrophic, they're showing now, and we must stop doing this as soon as possible. But it's also because the story is diffuse, slow, bound up in myriad details and specifics, and most of all, is a tremendously inconvenient truth to exceedingly powerful and recalcitrant interests.

Somewhere in that should be threads to spin a compelling tale, however. It tends to take time both to develop those and for someone who does have an interesting and insightful take to find and respond to a piece.

"Be the discussion you want to see on the Internet."
Normally you expect 2-3 deaths per day for a population that size. They are exceeding expectations.
Amazing.

I am skeptical of the number of trees. I can see how they would have plenty of them but that amount seems unrealistic. Was it some sort of agriculture?
Yes. The flag of Greece also suggests some fondness for blue (as does its architecture).

> There's nothing wrong with stories

I disagree. When there's pressure to piece together a story, it can easily become a search for facts to fit a narrative, motivated reasoning. Data that doesn't fit that narrative must just be outliers. New details not substantiated by facts enter the picture because they improve the story. Stories tend to lose some truth. That's dangerous.
> Realizing that I don’t have to work 8 hours every day was pretty groundbreaking. I still get work done, and have lots of personal time. I do occasionally take on an ambitious project and work overtime for a few weeks, but then I try to balance it with more rest so I don’t burn out.

Wait, how do you get to not working 8 hours per day?

They were splitting tickets to avoid being let go, not because they necessarily warranted it or comprised logically separate things. I'm pretty sure that's not how scrum is supposed to work, but if it is it doesn't sound good to me.
Working on a similar project[1] that its similar to a PLC but its low power, with a solar panel and it has plug and play modules (see link with animation). We are trialling it now with a few customers and planning to open-source it. Trying to get the OTA working and the manufacturing sorted..

If you're going to be installing anything in adverse environments or for any period of time PLCs are the go-to for a lot of one-off solutions. Some of them get pretty spendy quickly but Automation Direct has some reasonable($100-200) PLCs[1]. I ended up automating our entire greenhouse with one including a PID based water pump to drive a bunch of different downstream outputs that worked really well.

I've had cheap battery operated devices that react in the same way when a lighter clicks near them. Except they stay turned on because the first thing they do is latch their power on.

No, because after a month, there will be an automatic payment from my bank for the balance. In that time, the bank is giving me their money and they’re on the hook for any fraud.
I didn't ask for evidence because I know for a fact that he is lying or misinterpreting things to an extent to be considered lying.

Getting into the beta has nothing to do with being a good or bad programmer. It's not about Blow's ego or criticizing the language, it's about keeping a modicum of respect about a decade's worth of work and not being an ass.

PS. As a factual contradiction, documentation is provided with every compiler version and it currently stands at ~32K lines of very well commented example code touching almost every feature of the language.
Depending on the type of game, you can use stuff like a leverless arcade controller, such as the Flatbox or Frame1. Works well for fighting games, platformers, simpler 2D stuff. Anything that doesn't need two analog sticks or expect a mouse. Similar benefits to a keyboard, but less stuff in the way and can potentially have a more ergonomic layout. Games that need more inputs could benefit from custom controllers made for them. I heard a guy in passing talk about building a custom controller for American Truck Simulator.

The DIY controller scene is pretty healthy right now thanks to the RP2040, 3D printing, and certain firmware projects like GP2040-CE that have already done a lot of the work.

Reminds me a bit of the Cagot people who lived around the border region between France and Spain. These people where hated, discriminated and prosecuted for more then a thousand years while people had forgotten what they ever did to deserve this. Already in the 16th century the Pope published a edict saying let bygones-be-bygones and forgave them for whatever perceived crime. Historians don't believe they where ever responsible for this perceived crime and that the Pope probably knew this but forgave them anyway in a hopeless attempt to stop the discrimination.
> 4acoDMT is better, xan+LSD microdosing is safe, and DMT is, without a doubt, the safest, most intense, life-changing, one-shot attempt of a awakening, any mortal, experienced or not, will ever have the opportunity to exerience.

Benzos are associated with cognitive impairment (we have studies for medium and long term users showing cognitive impairment even 10 months after discontinuation) and are highly addictive. Acute use as you prescribe is "probably fine" insofar as we have data to support it but given the risk of addiction, no, Xanax is not safe.

Trying to get ahead of a bad trip by taking other drugs is generally a bad idea.

Yes, there's many other hallucinogens people could be taking that would give a better, kinder, more concretely messaged trip but they're simply not widely available and medical literature on health risks are scarce or in the negative.

We know LSD and psilocybin leads directly to neurogenesis and that the health risks are minimal, short of a psychotic break or delusion leading to the idea one can fly or some other risky belief.

In the past, I've:

- Saved a company $500k a year in CI infrastructure costs.
- Worked with several hundred engineer organizations to migrate from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.
- Introduced configuration as code and GitOps best practices to teams.
- Built dynamic review environments triggered on a pull request.

I’m offering 1 hour strategy consults at $300. We’ll hop on a call and discuss your current situation and we’ll work together to find the best path forward for your company.

If you feel like I didn’t provide enough value, I’ll refund you for the hour.

I just checked, it's still there.
I doubt the union “forced” them, cutting checks manually is the standard practice for payroll screwups like this. I’ve seen it happen in a handful of companies, all but one outside their control. Two of them offered to cover any resulting overdraft fees.

The Union stuff is backstory and fluff to fill out the article.
That doesn't mean that dairy is the singular word to refer to the difference between vegans and vegetarians. Dairy is widely understood to mean solely milk products. Vegetarian is vegan + dairy + eggs. Use a different word for dairy + eggs.
Maybe for the activity, but otherwise no. Twice as many people attend Disney World each day as go to burning man. Deaths are so rare (even from heart attack) there is a wikipedia of incidents.

I realize the parks are not open 24 hours, but given the age distribution I wouldn't expect a death without the unusual conditions and recreational drugs. Even sporting events, which are the same size and have lots of alcohol, rarely have deaths.
Delivering arbitrary points at a predictable rate, yeah, brilliant.
> in the 90s it was all like that, just amen break over really dark metal/industrial kind of sounds

There was actually a whole scene from the start of the 90s that focussed on melodic and atmospheric jungle and dnb. Check out Good Looking Records. In fact even Metalheadz pushed some this sound a lot. I personally see that as a fundamental part of jungle and dnb from the get go.
> Why not put some effort into making the use of small, lightweight, silent, clean vehicles possible?

It’s already possible. The effort you seem to be requesting is the effort I already described as dangerous to me and my pup. If I’m understanding correctly: that’s why. Because it’s dangerous to me and my pup.

If I’m not understanding correctly, please feel free to clarify what effort you think I should be making to better accommodate these vehicles by which I wish not to be hit.

I would find this piece more convincing if it had sampled stories from different sources in service of its thesis rather than focusing on a single work the author finds particularly galling, as there is no shortage of fictional narratives anywhere — look no further than US state-approved high-school history textbooks.

Given the narrowness of the material cited, this piece seems to me like unequal application of skepticism and status-quo gatekeeping.
