There are many possible reasons for being vegetarian or vegan.

If the reasons are specifically ethical in nature (i.e. not limited to environmental or health reasons etc. but based on a concern for the possibility that animals have a rich inner experience and have the moral standing of humans), then it's definitely ghoulish for all the same reasons treating humans as livestock is ghoulish.

When I was a kid, I simply didn't think about it. I also simply didn't think about how some people ate species that I considered pets.

(Tune begins with a rising, powerful melody)

Verse 1: From the shores of the Danes to Britannia's realm, Where the sea meets the sky in a watery helm, There's a thread made of power, so silent and sleek, A marvel of might that the ancients would seek.

Chorus: Oh, Viking Link, your cables enfold, Uniting the lands as the sagas once told. Electric currents, like legends of old, Viking Link, forging futures so bold.

Verse 2: Beneath the North Sea where the mermaids do sing, Lies a path of pure energy, a power-bringing string, Connecting the heart of the emerald isles, With wind-harnessed force that covers the miles.

Chorus: Oh, Viking Link, your currents so free, Dance 'cross the depths of the deep, briny sea. Blending the watts as the mead-masters would, Viking Link, for the greater world's good.

Bridge: Hark! As the turbines spin round and round, A whisper of Odin, in kilowatts found. Thor might have thundered with fierce, mighty sound, But our silent giant lies under the ground.

Verse 3: From the fjords where the Vikings once launched their great fleets, Comes a new age of conquest, where technology meets. And the UK replies with welcoming hands, Together they stand, where power demands.

Final Chorus: Oh, Viking Link, your saga's begun, Tales of electrons, from dusk until dawn. May your current flow steady and strong, Viking Link, in our hearts, your song lingers on.

(End with a triumphant harmony)

> "We're using tools like crime-gun intelligence, the ability to trace the gun and the spent shell casing from a crime scene to identify who's that shooter, how many violent crimes have they been involved with," she said in the interview.

I don't think that prevents enough crime to account for the drop, though I would believe it helps catch criminals after the fact. I'm basing this on the assumption that the average number of homicide incidents per murderer is somewhere around one, and that most people who are likely to commit murder wouldn't decide to do it or not based on the state of this year's gun-crime intelligence analysis packages.

If you already have an iOS app, it’s straightforward to build a macOS port that runs on Apple Silicon, and would provide a substantially better user experience than Electron. And then on the other side, there’s Windows Subsystem for Android.

OTOH, if these mobile apps would be worse than running a bundled browser, then I’d have to question their overall utility.

> This refers to the load at a point of time which cannot be delivered by renewables at that time. This can also vary between 0 and 100%.

If you had a predominantly renewable grid, this would generally be 80-100%, because low generation could coincide with peak load. Which is extremely bad, because then you have to duplicate that proportion of generation capacity via some alternative even though it's only rarely needed. Or worse, it's needed a lot but it's fossil fuels.

Meanwhile you want some degree of energy storage, because if you have times when renewable generation is more than 100% of the load, you want to be able to use that power later and not just throw it away.

But then you're back to base load sources making sense. They reduce the amount of storage or peaker plants you need at night and the amount of renewable generation you need during the day.

They just don't make sense as more of the grid than there is "base load" for the same reason as always. Otherwise you'd have times where there is surplus "base load" generation and have to put that into energy storage, when it'd have been cheaper for that part of generation capacity to be renewables.
The other crimes have been declining dramatically for decades, too. American perception of crime doesn't match the reality; it's a 24/7 cable news phenomenon.

The idea that vendors should be responsible under the law for all of what they release is good.

I concur that the long term likely outcome for the late adopter crowd is "certified lts editions, supported by BlahCorp" and the long tail of decay. I don't envy anyone in that system.

The early adopter crowd probably won't notice, they will steam ahead and keep their own patchset on upstream with regular contribute-back and CI. Sure, they are liable, but they will staff to certify their own systems.
> Any document language with a foreach-loop must somehow flatten the node list to one dimension; the key design question is where in the pipeline this should happen.

Or —and hear me out— if one uses streams (monoids) instead of lists (trees) as the basic semantics, one has associativity for free:

(s; t); u == s; (t; u)

and need not kludge up unquote-splicing or other flattening schemes.

(the brave who proceed to use streams instead of lists not just on the right hand side, but also on the left hand side of the application operator, may discover that all their "monad law" proof obligations become trivial)

America has started to have the appearance of griefing their own enlisted. I'm not sure if America actually cares about those types of war and military considerations any longer. Have you looked at ship construction times lately?

On the materials side. Totally agree. However the issue there, is that's not what corporations tend to optimize. The story itself really spells it out pretty clearly (it may be biased, never worked at US Steel personally). However, the article's description is:

US Steel became a monopoly, and immediately acted like a monopoly. Innovation ceased. Money extraction began. Commanding obedience was the norm. Convincing themselves all competitors would fail was the norm. And US Steel did not want to invest in anything outside its own sunk costs.

> Here's a crazy idea, maybe that person should be the consumer?

OK, so let's say you bought a special computer monitor that had screen reading technology built in so it could read out or describe anything displayed on it regardless of operating system, even a raw video feed. And one day it catches fire and burns your house down.

Most people would think it was acceptable to sue the manufacturer of the hardware device. But if using NVDA somehow ended up making your laptop catch fire and your house burned down, in that case, oh well, it's just tough luck, caveat downloador etc?

What if it came out in discovery that the author was previously made aware via numerous emails that their application had a tendency to cause laptops to dangerously overheat, and they chose to disregard the problem? Is that still the consumer's financial and legal responsibility?

(Not saying there's any right answer, just wondering if I understand your position properly.)

EDIT: Just read other comments that clarified that OSS isn't subject to this new directive, so this a moot issue I suppose.
DRM can get much more restrictive, such as being locked down to only special purpose devices produced by the publisher or distributor / streaming service. So imagine requiring a Netflix dongle to watch Netflix, etc. Without the DMCA these things would just get built like Yubikeys with internal HSMs that require clean room practices to unlock. That'll be combined with watermarking so if you do pirate it and leak it they sue you by tracing it back to you.

My real point is the second part: quality media of any kind is very expensive and labor intensive to produce. Piracy can result in only two possible things: (1) even more restrictive and arcane DRM, or (2) the media you like just stops getting produced at all.

If people flatly refuse to pay and insist on pirating, option (2) is the final endpoint. You just won't get the product because nobody will make it.

Free is a lie. When you insist that things must be free, you're lying to yourself. When companies tell you it's free, they are lying to you (usually to get you hooked for surveillance or later monetization).
Individual rights vs. societal responsibilities.

Jobs are touted as necessary as being part of modern society. Judges, legislators, and commmunity leaders expect you to have a job and consider whether or not you have one as judgement of your character. The health of society and a community are measured by the percentage of adults that have jobs. As long as this is true, then strict freedom of association should have lower priority than making sure everyone is employed.

An alternative is UBI.

> Does EA offer a specific idea that we should adopt in our thinking?

The specific idea is that while people at large may have the best intentions about charity and social good, the impact of their money and effort could be greatly magnified if they deployed it better.

For example most donations happen to already overfunded causes (say cancer research) where your dollar is getting lost among executive bonuses and generally not having the kind of impact you think. There are tons of more neglected areas where you can do much more immediate, quantifiable good.

Another example from their website is that governments worldwide spend $280B per year on counterterrorism and $8B on preventing public health crises. If you look at the relative human impact from the two, those numbers are laughable.

There are many, many such examples of obvious inefficiency in the system that can be solved with a better thought framework and more research.

> Debian, the so-called "universal operating system" just dropped 32-bit x86 support.

This is imprecise at best. There was a meeting where the release team concluded that most likely, there will be no _installer_ and _kernel_ support for 32-bit x86 at some unspecified point in the future. (At the current point in time, both are still delivered and fully supported.) In particular, you can still run multi-arch 32-bit/64-bit, allowing you to run 32-bit x86 software.
You're right, "We can't have infinite growth" meaning "We can't grow more sustainably/We should stop growth in order sustainable existence of human population" would make much more sense 50 years ago. We're far past sustainable thresholds at this point.

> I don't see why we can't have tech ...

The article I linked ("Overshoot: Why It's Already Too Late To Save Civilization") explains why we can't, there simply isn't enough resources on planet Earth now. If the humanity were to follow the platonic utopian ideal of strictly sustainable development of technology over past centuries, sure, why not? We could mine the asteroids and whatnot. There was enough resources and a sufficiently intact biosphere, atmosphere etc. to allow it. But the Earth-system at this point is simply fucked up beyond repair. Reread this last sentence. For a person who sees his purpose in this world and has hopes to achieve something in this world (read: most people in the West), this is the most depressing and hopeless thing he can ever think of, even more depressing than "I am mentally/physically fucked up beyond repair."

I am a Muslim, so everything I do is ultimately oriented for my afterlife, and all deeds (and sins) of mine are recorded and will be carried with me to the day of Judgement, where I will face God's absolute justice and hopefully mercy for all what I did. This world is no longer than a blink of an eye relative to my eternal life. Thus I am not depressed by the situation the world is in. What matters is what I do here in my time. YMMV based on your faith/beliefs/lack of them.

The article is a long but enlightening read, I even translated it to my native lang and published it even though I am no writer or translator.

If you get ghosted it usually means that you were almost good enough, or it was something unrelated to you.

The bad candidates get an immediate rejection.

The best candidates get offers quickly.

Candidates that are kind of good enough, but not amazing are the ones who get ghosted. The employer doesn’t want to say yes in case they find someone better. They also don’t want to say no because you are “good enough” and if the next 3 candidates suck then you’ll get the job. Then they forget to tell you when they hire #3.

The other ghosting is when the whole project gets cancelled mid interview. Often people involved aren’t sure if the project will be cancelled so they don’t tell the candidates early. Then when the cancellation is in full swing everyone has forgotten about the candidates.
You probably still have a >50% chance that it's going to be over water since that's the direction it was initially moving. Yes, if flight termination fails and by chance it vectors backwards towards land somehow without just spinning like out of control rockets normally do then it may fly far enough to wind up on someone else's property but that's why launch sites are located at a reasonable distance from inhabited areas. The point is that it's very different to take all of those precautions vs. just flying your rockets over inhabited areas as a matter of course and not giving a fuck if they land on someone.
An equivalent period of time in the past would pre-date decipherable writing, possibly the invention of writing altogether.

The zip files contain the complete data in various formats.

For the WNDB (WordNet DataBase) format, you could use the WordNet viewer or any WordNet compatible software. This will not be able to view all the Open English WordNet data, as it has parts of speech and relationship types not in the original WordNet.

For the RDF/Turtle (Resource Description Framework) format, you could use any RDF visualization tool. I don't have any specific recommendations.

For the LMF/XML (Lexical Markup Framework XML) format, you would need an XSLT stylesheet to convert the data to something else like HTML.

You could also run https://github.com/jmccrae/wordnet-angular locally, which is the project used to run the https://en-word.net website. That takes the LMF/XML data, creates a SQLite database for it, and runs a web server on that database.

Like a lot of things, I expect the only difference is time and space. There are adult generations where large swaths don’t remember Saturday morning cartoons now. If you’re a millennial with tech savvy parents you may have grown up with streaming entertainment only.

> CDC? EPA? FBI? CIA? NSA? All of them do good

What do you think is the good? Maybe the FBI to some extend (my point was quite a hyperbole I know). But under the line they mostly do bad imho. And they spin their own "findings", that's how we got into this conversation.

I the plan was to invade Vietnam/Iraq, and the attack are propped up to "allow" then to invade. If you think they govt was deceived by it's own speakers, that to my is quite a stretch... The plan was to invade, and the story was made to match. That is a conspiracy in and of itself.
Yep! My mistake, nice catch.
I’m sure there were organizational, business, and technical failures, too, but it seems to me like Apple’s disastrous ~decade attempting to put the Macintosh on a modern foundation was primarily a product failure.

They wanted to do the right thing and synchronize the OS kernel switchover with the PowerPC transition, but chose to pursue a radical software compatibility break alongside the hardware swap.

When that failed for what should have been predictable reasons, they had no choice but to fall back to a pure emulation strategy with no OS architectural changes, and the opportunity to put the MacOS on a new path was lost.
> Personally, I just read a lot.

What books would you recommend? I find it hard to learn real world patterns and codebases.

Smaller patterns like inheritance, composition, traits, functional monads, async coroutines, RAII, MVVM, dependency injection, and semaphore synchronization, are easy to learn, but seemingly unhelpful in the grander scheme. Nobody seems to completely adhere to the rules. As a result, these small patterns never seem to lead to clean code.

I loved coding as a child and pursued CompSci in college. But having worked a few years in the industry, I really think I do not know how to solve anything. At one point I felt as if everyone is gaslighting me. But if multiple people from different companies say I need to learn, then I should.

Right now I want to read to know what exactly I am missing in my knowledge about how code works in large codebases

One of the ideas that seems to be missed from the study of history and economy, was the effect on the total destruction of the Japanese and German industrial base - during WWII.
Britain and USA, were left with their archaic industrial systems.
After WWII, the Japanese and the German steel industry had to be completely reborn.
(At the cost of primarily USA financing.)
Those two countries had no more relics of the past, and started over, necessarily, with the most modern technology and science.
North American industry was in a slow evolution from the 1900's, but Germany and Japan, had a hot start from the 1950-60's. No wonder everyone was impressed by their modern approach to construction, design, manufacturing, which more or less started to out perform USA and Britain in the 70's.
China, started it's industrial rebirth even later.
