Well, the article’s focus is on asynchrony. Naturally then, it talks about closures within the context of asynchrony and to the extent that it is relevant.

The author could have made the topic about closures, but that’s not what they wanted to talk about.

You should read the article! The author goes into this in fascinating detail.

You write it on local media and kept it on-premises?

Cloud is the new thing, I hear.

Same here. You may also like “The Big Flower Fight” on Netflix.

Cool! If you do, I’d be curious to hear about your experience.

I know what you’re saying, but at some point you could argue we “ARE eating the wrong thing”, considering our population size.

Said differently, I hypothesize that it would be more practicable to create policies that influence what we eat and how that food is produced, compared to creating policies that try to reduce population size. If anything, it appears that more advanced countries are competing to gain population so that the machinery of their societies can keep chugging along in the name of growth.

EDIT: elsewhere in the thread I see people comment on multi-use of animals vs plants, and the consequent implication of increased use of undesirable synthetics/plastics if we raise fewer animals. Systems get complex, and their behavior can change drastically in surprising ways if you start fiddling. But fiddling we must.

Exactly. Representation, diversity is good for business.

Really? Give it a try for a month.

I would be highly surprised if you don’t get called names, ridiculed, or worse, physically attacked.

And that is if your employer even allows you to wear a dress in the office.

Tidal sound quality is unparalleled IMO.

I’ve got a good set of speakers, and coupled with Tidal’s Master[1] quality recordings, there’s just no way I can go back to something of lower sound fidelity.

> You can go also go full Rosetta: create an alias to your terminal, right-click enable "Run in Rosetta", open it, then everything you run from this terminal will also be Rosetta (amd64), and you run Rosetta homebrew, node, etc. You can confirm what is running under Rosetta in Activity Monitor.

Great tip! Didn’t know. Thanks.

Love the audacity of building back better multiple dimensions of our internet experience.

However:

> end the debate about search engine bias by turning search result output over to a community-run filtering system called Goggles

Not sure why something "community-run" would automatically/necessarily solve bias... So looking forward to deeper thinking by the Brave team.

The article you linked to is from 2016 so I found something more recent: https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-adoption-venezuela-research

The article I linked to is from crypto folks, so caveat emptor.

No, but anything you didn’t spend while you were alive goes to your heirs (or the state if you don’t have any, or other rules).

So, you do not have to spend everything while alive.

Which is why web apps shine. Near-universal reach.
