> We're literally growing food to feed to animals that we bred ourselves, while losing ~90% of the calories in the process instead of eating crops directly when meat isn't required to be healthy.

Most animal feed is the byproduct of things we are not eating[1]. This same study also address the land use concern. Most of it is not fit to grow crops with. I agree that people should reduce meat consumption but I find the general framing around this topic to be dishonest.

If I recall this is written by 1 guy in Japan. Tried it a while back and it was very nice although I wouldn't subscribe at that price I tried it at and would rather just buy Sublime. Seems it went down from $10ish to $5 which is more reasonable. The dev also maintains a blog that I find pretty neat https://blog.inkdrop.app/

Anyone who knows anything about Casey Muratori knows that nice and humble are not usually words associated with him. That is not to say the devs he is calling out are in the right. Frankly, I just see a bunch of combative assholes arguing with each other.

I hate to break this to you but that's all documentaries in general. Every documentary has the goal of convincing you of something.

Honestly I'd love to switch to systems programming from web CRUD. I just don't know how to get into that field.

They aren't calming when I can't see shit when pulling out into an intersection and turning.

The problem with making cities green, like the problem with everything else, is terrible city design. There is quite a bit of greenery where I live and it is all anxiety inducing because it is planted near intersections and cutting off line of sight so you can't see pedestrians well or oncoming traffic. There are certain areas that have these wonderful bushes, too bad they opted for those bushes instead of sidewalks but hey, who cares about pedestrians am I right?

What's the catch with them writing your resume for free? Seems like a pretty involved thing to offer for free.

Citation for this?

> Google Smart Shellac

No idea what this is and searching yields nail polish as the result.

Not only is the product better, manga scanlators have a "code of honor." If a manga is licensed in English they will typically drop the manga no longer scanlating because there is now a provider in English. Of course, not all of them do this but more often than not it is adhered to.

> NOTE: I do use an Android phone --- but only after it has been thoroughly de-Googled --- starting from a stripped down, bare metal device that won't even power up.

You're going to have to explain to me. Particularly the "starting from a stripped down, bare metal device that won't even power up. Because this sounds excessive and a bit over the top.

I agree with the general idea here but there are some opinions here I can't get behind.

> Individuals blessed with high degrees of industriousness and orderliness will build sophisticated media diets, note-taking systems, and automated archiving pipelines much more effectively than those less blessed with these traits.

I can tell you by nature I am not a smart organized person but implementing certain systems in my life has made this easier. I don't think what I'm saying necessarily contradicts this quote but this quote seems like it is reducing the argument to "the haves and have nots."

If we are talking about women in tech I wanna throw in a recommendation for Julia Evans https://jvns.ca/. She's awesome.

I don't think you can strip DRM any more. At least I can't with my Kindle Paperwhite and Calibre.

You're right I'm thinking of the Fire tablets. Allegedly if you jailbreak your Kindle you can manage your library and collections with Calibre.

IIRC it means you can install the Play Store instead of just having Amazon's terrible Fire store.

OCaml is a language that I'd really like to use more in my day to day but can't find a use for.

What if I don't have an iPhone?

You can pump brine water back but if I recall you can't just dump it all back at once because it's so highly concentrated. Ideally you would be able to find an alternate use for it.

> However I can strongly agree that their needs to be tax simplification and the current state of affairs is a mess.

Very much worth mentioning that companies like Intuit spend money hand over fist each year to keep the tax code complicated.

I'd argue that it is less about practicality and more about learning a language by recreating a CLI tool.

Nielsen ratings would disagree with this.

I've been heavily considering getting an iPhone because of how terrible the Android experience but my problem with Apple is that you are either fully in their ecosystem of you aren't a worthy enough customer in their mind. I have no desire to use iCloud or Apple mail or have an AppleID. I just want a small phone that gets updates, has maps, and has a decent music app.

As an artist, Dall-E makes a pit in my stomach I can't quite explain.

This story is very interesting to me because I don't believe for a second that Disney couldn't step on DeSantis if they wanted to so I'm just wondering what line he has to cross.

If you are in a position that you need blood donation, getting PFAS in your blood is the least of your concerns

Thanks for the kind words. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get involved in robotics without a degree?

Still early in my career. 3-4 years.
