Most of the feed that cattle get on feedlots is waste from ethanol and biofuel production, aka distillers grains. We feed cattle very little fresh grain so all of the statistics about cropland use are extremely misleading. Several industries use that grain one after the other.

That feed along with the fresh hay is fed to cows at the end of their life to fatten them up for human consumption. Notice how the article you linked says 200 million acres of cropland used for beef and 325 million overall versus 900 million acres of total farmland? Most of the difference is marginal pasture that can’t grow anything for human consumption. We don’t fertilize or water it, it’s just grassland that grow by itself where we raise cows before sending them to feedlots. Without that cropland going to distillers and cows, over 60% of our farmland would be completely useless. Not only that but most of our cropland isn’t very useful either - 95% of the corn we grow is inedible dent corn. It’s one of the cheapest commodities on the planet that’s only worth growing as a last resort.

We make this tradeoff because those 600 million acres of otherwise unusable farmland are far more resilient than our cropland so we have a huge backup of calories incase of massive crop failure.
Thanks, seems like an amazing game. I am watching some videos and trying to understand the gameplay. If you don't mind elaborating on few thing:

* In the rules it says that whenever a voce completes its obsessions a test for control happens. Doesn't it mean that the voice needs to reveal what the obsessions is at that moment, before the end of the game?
* Same goes for skill, seems like for it to be used it needs to be revealed before the end of the game.
* Who determines the level of obsessions?
As someone who has far more reason to interact with ERs than the normal person, if you have a problem that needs to be seen within the next week by a specialist and not just a GP, you have to go to the ER to actually get it addressed. Otherwise you won't be seen for months.
Storing references in integer arrays is how people used to program data structures in BASIC. I still use this method with vectors in order to make data structures easy to serialize and inspect.
Thank you for breaking it down like this. As someone without an engineering background, your explanation (along with some Googling for terms and definitions) really helped me grasp what happened.

You got me wondering:

> the whole bridge failed because the impact didn't exceed the impact strength of the bridge's material

When I first read this, it initially threw me off. The cargo ship's impact not exceeding the strength of the bridge sounds like a positive thing, but upon closer reading of your comment, it sounds as if it was the catalyst to the entire bridge collapsing.

So, how do engineers balance these properties of impact strength and tensile strength, especially considering large ships channel through these bridges near their pylons frequently? How much engineering goes into the possibility of large structures hitting their pylons?

I was horrified to learn that PowerPC uses an "inverted page table", which is essentially just a TLB implemented as a hash table. If the requested page isn't resident in the inverted page table it delivers an interrupt, where the kernel is supposed to walk it's own internal internal page table data structure and populate the hash table entry for the missing page. It was a big surprise coming from x86 or ARM on personal computer kernels where they have a fully populated page table as the canonical source of mappings, and all walking in hardware!
Thanks for the correction for Mac!

But honestly, one of the *worst* things about Macs is that Command and Control are separate, and there are no good keys to remap them to (there is only one Caps Lock), so you have to contort your fingers for an oft used combination.

The GM would have final say on the level of the obsession, and would notify players about a test for control. Certainly this provides a hint about what the active player's obsession is, though perhaps not a precise answer.

I didn't ever really anticipate that people would get super intense about the competition element. It's a self-evidently fairly silly game.

They do. I would think that that bridge certainly did as well, it’s part of a busy port. It’s not exactly hard to imagine it happening.

My guess, and it is a total guess, is that the protection on the bridge was nowhere near sufficient for a ship of that tonnage.

I’m assuming it was built to whatever the correct standard was when constructed in the 70s. I’m also assuming the ship weighed far more, or perhaps traveled noticeably faster, than the cargo ships going into the port back then.

Basically I’m guessing it needed an upgrade in its protective barriers but it wasn’t recognized or hadn’t happed if it was.
I am also a native speaker. The context I hear it is when, for example, someone wins a game or finds loot within one – "Эх, какой счастливый!...." or "Счастливый человек!" Another example: "у него счастливая рука" (he has a lucky hand [at cards]) [1].

Most dictionaries will offer both happy and lucky side by side (with "happy" being the first definition, "lucky" the second). See the links for some textual examples.

In other households it could very well be that you use "везучий" or "удачливый" more often, but mine (grant it, very far from Moscow) never has.

It’s like how physically interactive Wii Sports felt 18 years ago, but even more so.

The interaction through VR game controllers takes that concept much further, playing Walkabout Mini Golf or Eleven Table Tennis feels practically like the real thing. Playing those games with thumb sticks and buttons would be basically pointless.
I always felt coding could be such a great fit for voice recognition, as you have a limited number of tokens in scope and know all the syntax in advance (so recognition accuracy should be pretty good). Never saw a solution that really capitalized on that, though.

Well, it doesnt work like that in reality. The reality is that people scarcely shell out money for premium plugins, and that is only after using their free version enough time and then needing things from the paid version. So the freemium format keeps working.
I think it's more than that. Big companies like this don't exist to provide solutions in the most efficient manner possible, nor do they (contrary to popular opinion) exist to create the most "shareholder value". Their real reason for existence is to provide employment. (True, the investors really only care about RoI, and would prefer more efficiency with a lower headcount, but the reality is that you need to hire people to actually build things and create solutions to sell, and for those people, including the top executives, the company's mission is not their priority, only their own personal career and bank account.)

So with a company full of people whose #1 concern is their paycheck and their resume, they'll make choices to optimize those, which means turning a trivial 20-minute shell script into a 3-month project requiring a whole team of devs.

It seems that there’s still unavoidable subjectivity in making the choice of prior distribution? I get how it’s objective for a fixed choice, but my understanding is that you need to first make that choice in order to be objective. Is it actually that making your choice of prior is obvious (or there is some objectively optimal way to pick a prior), which rules out any subjectivity in the choice of prior?

N64 had a 4KB texture cache while the Ps1 had a 2KB cache. But the N64's mip-mapping requirement meant that it essentially had 2KB + lower resolution maps.

The streaming helped it a lot but I think the cost of larger carts was a big drag on what developers could do. It is one thing to stream textures but if you cannot afford the cart size in the first place it becomes merely academic.

I strongly agree, but it needs to be balanced against being 14 on the open internet.

No, its not, but the US system is also an arcane disaster, so even if it was that wouldn’t be a counterargument.

Yes, it has been meaningfully reformed since the 18th Century. In many small ways in the 19th and 20th centuries, and with a couple whopping big ones, most notably early in the latter half of the 19th C.

> For example the US president is essentially just an elected George III.

Even if one decides not to quibble about the accuracy of that, the British still have an unelected monarch with vast estates, a real and practical veto over legislation which would effect them, and the ability to negotiate around the exercise of that power in complete unaccountable secrecy to influence legislation beyond that.

For me, the go-to solution for this problem is to avoid third-party dependencies as much as possible. This is probably not an option for rust project given how anemic the authors of Rust's standard library want their library to be, but it is definitely an option when using other languages with fully featured libraries.

I rarely use external libraries (other that database drivers) because I deliberately work with languages that have all the things I need built in.
Recently Sauraen on Youtube demonstrated their performance profiling on their F3DEX3 optimizations. One thing they could finally do was profile the memory latency and it is BAD!
