The violence of McCarthy is so structural that to me it loses some of its luridness. I struggle through violence in other works, but with McCarthy it presents like a function of the landscape he's exploring. Not that it isn't shocking. Maybe to say that it is purposeful and worthwhile, rather than played for titillation?

Of course. It certainly depends on context. Maybe some children need a respite from safe places. Others, an invite into them

Maybe the world is dangerous, but maybe that doesn’t mean we have to be afraid. It’s dangerous business stepping out your front door after all

speed of sound changes with altitude right?

Others do not have language for absolute directions. The Murrinhpatha in Australia. https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/opli-2016-000... I think the Pirahã may only use directions relative to the river

Do individual stores have any autonomy over their pricing?

excalidraw is my go to for that in-between

just a series of tubes

I worked at a summer camp in college. We had some campers and staff build a fire near the river and neglect to fully douse the embers. Hours later there was an "all hands" call on the radio. The fire had spread in about a 10 foot radius by the time we got to it. Since the soil was so loose and sandy, it had caught the roots on fire. Took hours of digging to put it out. Could not have been controlled without a team, equipment, and a quick response.

Have you tried Vapor?

Currently building with Next/TRPC/Prisma/PG and would choose it again. I might be a little slower than starting with a full-featured MVC kit like Laravel or Rails, but having an e2e type system is so worth it to me. I do miss having a more mature ORM.

I'm constantly tempted by Phoenix but desuaded by the lack of a type system. Does elixir somehow make up for the lack of types as a functional language? Also, I can reuse a good deal from my current stack in a react-native app for mobile, which I'd miss out on in another framework.

Wish I could say Flutter, but have not been impressed by the web experience.

That latency was the deal breaker for me. Kind of defeats having your app running on metal near your customers if they're in Dallas and the DB's in Ohio

How comparable was getting an mRNA vaccine to market in a year to these type of geoengineering moonshots?

Think SEO spam is a problem now? Wait until "creators" are paid per their SERP
