> you're right, this is greenwashing ... plus, if your beef is grass fed for its whole life like ours, it's carbon neutral, as all the carbon that goes into the animal came from the atmosphere

Sounds like you might be doing a bit of greenwashing yourself. The carbon came from the atmosphere, but the cows make methane, which is much worse. Also they spoil the land and water. And also you're not counting the carbon used to actually raise them, like the gas in the equipment and the transport.

Just because it's official, doesn't mean it's good documentation. The other results are significant better for this specific query. They are more elaborated, have better readability, offer examples, and don't force you to search through a long text to find the 3 lines which are relevant for you. Some even have a live-test.

The only real benefit python.org offers here is to offer more documentation about the language itself. Which is interesting for beginners, but not necessarily for everyone else.
This seems like a global phenomenon. What is happening? Is this related to globalization? It feels wrong to blame any countries internal policies when it seems to be happening in every country simultaneously.

The rind can definitely be eaten, and it’s delicious. If you put it in soup like you said it becomes soft and chewy, but you can also grill it or eat it raw on its own (I do sometimes, after cleaning the surface with a knife). My grandma used to say it’s good for your teeth, which is probably not true.

There are a few available at retailers. I just traded my iPhone 12 mini for a 13 mini for 0 cost at Verizon but my only color choices were pink or red. My 12 mini was working just fine but I had been considering a battery replacement. And besides being cheaper than a new battery a new model will hopefully hold out a bit longer.

It’s why you can’t get a paper bag at many grocery stores today. Those bags cost them a lot of money that’s now going into their pockets while you are forced to buy bag after bag (because who always has a bag on them?!) that only becomes a net positive after thousands of uses. Which it never will come close to.

It depends a lot on what you're trying to do. If have a focused use case of the type of fine-tuning you want, you can probably get away with one of the smaller models.

Another thing to look out for is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). I don't see it in wide use yet, but it may turn out to more useful than fine tuning for a lot of situations.

magsafe (the one apple call in iphone) is wireless charging and yeah it charges slower. But this magnetic charging with adapter is still wired connection and fast charges (20W) so it's faster and probably safer for battery. This more behaves as magsafe macbook connector (which is wired).
This PR article doesn’t do a good job explaining but it seems the severity was treated as an independent variable and controlled for, so with that assumption the article actually does imply vaccinated individuals shed less - yes the same amount when controlled for severity - but the cases are less severe.

Why I say that is because of the two paragraphs:

“”“ Mild and moderately symptomatic patients with COVID still exhale large amounts of virus, though severely symptomatic cases exhale higher levels on average, the study reports.

Vaccinated and unvaccinated patients exhale similar levels of virus over the course of infection, the research shows.”””

Edit: the actual preprint states “ We further found that levels of exhaled viral RNA increased with self-rated symptom-severity” so some of these statements in the PR article and article aren’t all squaring together.
Oh yes, because writing a strongly worded 5-page letter to devs to support the insignificant minority of linux users will work. That's totally how you get people with profit motives to "make different decisions."

"Talking with people" has has been a disaster for the FSF for going on 20 years. They had much more success when they DID STUFF, like say, implemented a clone of unix from scratch in the 80's.

Here's VALVe (and the WINE project) doing stuff. they've implemented a very capable clone of the windows ABI, creating a massive market for tens of thousands of games on linux out of thin air.

Do you really think devs would even give enough of a shit to talk about about linux without those 10,000 windows games that run on the steam deck?
Ah steam. I remember getting into the beta and playing some of the first games on Steam instead of WON [1]. I suppose I was in on the first day, it says my account was created Sept 12, 2003! I've used this piece of software from 14 to 34.

Oh nice! I didn't know about that and I was thinking about this exact use case.
I can see the conflict here. Thunderbolt 3/4 cables are not cheap, as they're often active cables[0]. And I don't mean how Thunderbolt cables have a chip at one end, I mean properly active, with chips at each end.

At that point, the cable becomes a major cost of the phone, and I think a relatively small number of people will really want/need the high speeds from Thunderbolt 3/4, hence the USB-2.0 cable being included in the box.

I'd argue the opposite! The segment is a minority, but the need within that segment is strong. It is not a 1 size fits all product, and 2-3% of your customer base might leave if a competitor fulfills that need. For your main revenue generator, that's not insignificant.

Maybe this is just the reality of having a product that sells as many units as the iPhone does every single year.
Eh, most rural folks I know have wood heaters or fireplace inserts, even in the south. If the power is out, they can still manage to keep a room toasty warm and the pipes from freezing.

Hello and thanks for your comment.

1. All online key generators should be approached with caution, however they can be a practical solution for users who may not be comfortable with offline key generation or lack technical expertise.

2. The code is run on the client-side. I do not have any third party code running - I have removed the Google Analytics code. This setup provides a reasonable level of security for many users. If you are that hardcore you can still use offline key generation but don't discourage users with blanket statements like 'do not use online services'.
0% interest isn’t $0/m. When you live paycheck to paycheck, as most Americans do, that’s a very important detail. Most people don’t have disposable income.

But even that do they don’t value phone upgrades. When I see their ancient phones I sometimes remark they can get a phone with monthly terms and they just shrug and say the sad device with cracked screens and ancient cameras and crap display resolution and brightness is good enough for them. It baffles me, but most people just use their phone for texting, occasionally a map, and a crappy camera. Only in my tech friend circle do people keep up.
Yes, yes they did. They promised the lightning connector would be used for 10 years and they fulfilled that promise. Meanwhile, people have been making fun of/complaining about Apple using USB C for the rest of their product line for two to three years now and how hard that's been to work with the iPhone.

> why can't the US produce sparkling wine or sweet red wine without calling it Champagne or Port wine?

Anybody could do that. Rather problem is it won't be successful since people recognize "champagne" and they will order that. Even if they know that sparkling wine could be the same type of beverage they will immediately assume it is inferior regardless of the actual quality.

It's a nigh-insurmountable obstacle to overcome centuries of advertising, legal entrenchment, and habit for any new start up company that just wants to make a high quality good.

The status quo only helps the large corporations that have been advertising and lobbying for the last century.
I can't find any reference to this on Apple's website. They simply they a USB3 cable is required to get USB3 speeds, which I assume they don't ship in the box.
The hardware on those 300 euro phones are awful. iPhones last longer in both software support and actual usability.

> How can one justify paying 3x the cost if not just to continue keeping myself tied into Apple?

It's not rocket science. The experience you get using an iPhone vs a cheap Android for 5 years is not even close to comparable, and while you do pay a ridiculous premium for an iPhone, there are obvious reasons why someone would want to.

And this is coming from a long time Pixel user.
> A company might make a single product less carbon-intensive, for example. But if it winds up selling more of that product than it used to, it might end up pumping out as much or even more greenhouse gas emissions than it used to.

But if it's carbon neutral, it doesn't really matter does it? The increased greenhouse gas emissions are offset by some carbon capture.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case

One of the main purposes of a tractor, compared to other farm vehicles, is that it has a power take-off [0] to enable the engine to drive other farm implements like combines.

IMO, it's not mature if the battery life is one day. The product it is seeking to replace (a "watch") can last for years on a single battery. Most people wouldn't mind charging once every week or two, but a "watch" that has to be charged every day is not a mature product in my book. It's especially embarrassing because Garmin and various Chinese companies (Amazfit) have sleeker watches that run for weeks.

Apple could sell a lot more watches if they upped their battery life game. I guess they want a watch that can do a zillion things, one day at a time. I prefer a watch that can do a few things, for a couple weeks at a time.
One of the reasons developers 'let it crash' is because no one wants to pay for error recovery, and I mean the whole design (including system level), testing, and long-term maintenance of barely used code.

THAT SAID isolation of the decoding code and data structures, having a way back to either checkpoint/restore or wipe out bad state (or, proving the absence of side effects, as SPARK dataflow contracts allow, for example) is better design, I wish would be taught more often. I really dislike how often exception propagation is taught without showing the handling of side effects...
Well for now it's likely just the IP blocks (the non-pros uses the A16 which was certainly designed without since none of the 14s was shipped with support).

When the non-pros get the A17 we'll see if they disable the USB3 controller and it's market seg. I'd assume so but...

Huh the Nick Mason credited with being a McLaren F1 owner is the drummer from Pink Floyd.
the average is skewed by games like Genshin Impact with gross exploitative monetization, not to mention literal casino games. So smaller developers with more reasonable monetization are not getting anywhere close to those averages and will be punished hard by these fees, especially because it's per-install not per-user.

If a user installs your F2P mobile game on 2-3 devices (not uncommon), you now owe 40-60 cents, not 20. Hope your average revenue is good enough that you can afford that after Apple/Google take their 30%.

> I think the data was clear enough that the vaccines are worth getting. However, this seems to shatter any thoughts folks may have that they are safer to others when they are vaccinated?

That's not the correct conclusion from this statement though. Taking the vaccine increases the likelihood that your immune system will be able to get kill the virus almost immediately after exposure, so that you don't start exhibiting symptoms at all. You can still get COVID and thus exhibit symptoms after being vaccinated, it's just less likely.

However, this statement is concerning those who got infected and then started exhibiting symptoms. Of those, i.e. when your immune system wasn't able to immediately deal with the virus and needs to learn how to do it, the viral load expelled was roughly the same in every case, peaking at 8 days. That's probably not too unexpected really, but it does seem to indicate that the immunity given by the vaccine is probably all or nothing for any particular variant you're exposed to - it either works immediately and stops you getting ill, or the immune system still has to start from scratch in figuring it out.

The decline of Unity is sad. Unity got so many things very right in their pre-IPO years. They made rapid prototyping and development of 3D games much easier than anything that came before. Being able to develop in C# was a huge win, especially for small teams and solo indie, and it made developing for multiple platforms easy, and took away a lot of the pain of native mobile development for Android/iOS.

But Unity has been declared dead/dying before, I suspect it'll have a long future ahead in some form even if it's no longer the obvious go-to engine choice for indies and mobile developers. A lot of people have invested a lot of years into their Unity skills as well as projects/codebases.
Nothing went wrong, smart phones are mostly a done product. There simply aren't new killer features that are going to feel as magical as things like combining an iPod and a phone. There are limits to the form factor and what can be shoved in there so there's likely only going to be marginal improvements.

In product management is there a term for this? I feel like in the software/SaaS world one will encounter a product that is generally in a really good spot but people are getting paid to do <something> so they come up with <something> and it leads to feature bloat or at a minimum it appears like there is "no clear vision".
I remember Steam launching with counter-strike 1.6 and I was livid at the time as an avid 1.5 player. I straight up refused to play counter-strike until Source launched when I got it with the Orange Box.

Those early days of Steam were still rough but getting better over time. I think Valve still isn't perfect, but the options for a PC leader could be a lot worse (and absolutely were).

It always amazes me that features that Steam has figured out still haven't found their way to other digital game storefronts. It's not a perfect platform, but it's likely the best we got for now. Just glad that there are other places to go if Steam isn't your jam.

That would have happened regardless because of companies like Adobe. There are way too many non-game-related services that were going to become online-only or even also subscription-only very quickly as the internet improved.

And honestly...what does it matter? I get the philosophical argument, but in all practicality you're playing the same games either way. Steam (at least in my experience) has never prevented me from playing something I wanted to.

I'm curious about people's take on leather from a sustainability, climate, and a morality (animal product) point of views.

On one hand, cattle production is not great on the above points. On the other hand, I heard that leather is a by-product of the meat industry - i.e. the cattle would be raised either way.

Counterpoint: Pareto principle. For 20% of effort you get 80% of results, so you are better of 1/5ing-assing 2 things for a total of less than half the effort and more than 50% more gains.

Your grandfathers advice might have been sane back in the day when you could only do one or two things and so quickly hit diminishing returns, but today it does not matter greatly.
