tomstoms

Just trying to understand. In the case of a Java app, would this replace tomcat or jersey or similar?
«So John went back to the hospital and spent a month on powerful antibiotics pumped directly into a vein near his heart.»

This is not «extremely common».

And you would prefer the English flag then - not the flag of the UK?

> Every time someone asks you a question, they are highlighting a gap in the documentation.

This is a sensible statement assuming that the question is about the domain or system you’re an expert in. Not “what time is it” or anything like that.

> Take the chance to write the answer down

Perhaps the author should have qualified this advise with “take the chance to consider”, but I think the advise stands well on its own and I understand to apply common sense to it.

Re:Always Be Quitting on Thursday June 10, 2021 @12:56AM (#27456809)
I think you’re interpreting the advice way too literally. The author probably didn’t mean for you to document the answer to every single question you get, but questions you get about the system or domain you’re working, and where the answer isn’t readily available anywhere else.

> for Node, there's npm

True, NodeJS runtime comes with its own «standard library» but npm has nothing to do with it.

About 10% of calorie intake is the protein sweet spot. Incidentally about the average you would get from a divers whole foods plant based diet. Meat diets will struggle to get that low. In fact, the Norwegian government has stated that it would in fact recommend 10% because it would be the best nutritional advise, were it not for the fact that it would be hard to fit into the common meat based diets of Norwegians. I wish I could provide a source but have since been unable to locate the official document Were it was discussed.
Exactly how certain is it?
Sorry stopped reading at “ Meat provides far more nutritional value than any plant”

Edit: Vote it down all you want. The statement isn’t getting any less idiotic

Re:Why does an A note sound different across instruments? on Tuesday March 02, 2021 @12:54AM (#26312288)
Further, by producing spectrograms, you can see the dominant harmonics of vowels, they are called formants, and you can learn to differentiate vowels based on comparing spectrograms without hearing the sounds. It’s pretty cool.
Re:Why does an A note sound different across instruments? on Tuesday March 02, 2021 @12:48AM (#26312261)
Interestingly, exact same phenomenon occurs in speech. What is the difference between the sounds /a/ and /o/? Turns out it’s timbre and that our vocal cavities changing form changes the timbre while the vocal chords produce the same fundamental frequency.

Yes agree completely and the same counter argument can be made for more advanced frontend frameworks.

It’s interesting that proponents of a simpler web argue in favor of Jquery for a use case where jquery is in fact very easy to live without. One would almost think dogmatic thinking is involved.
Not fair. Upgrading java libs like spring is just as laboursome given enough major releases have lapsed. Backenders need need to get their oumf out of their oumfs, and realize this is all about what you’re used to. Upgrading spring if you know spring is not as hard as upgrading React when you have no clue about React. There’s no significant difference.

Well to address the point you are making about poor people. Looking at the current poor population of North America, the cheap meat based diet is nothing short of a disaster to general public health ridden with all sorts of dietary caused diseases such as obesity, diabetes, coronary diseases and so on. Surely, a shift towards plant based diets for this demographic couldn’t make things any worse than it already is.

The only supplements in our household are b12 and vitamin D. B12 is a supplement in everyone’s diet in the western world already, as I have argued, and vitamin D is universally recommended supplement in the northern region anyway due to lack of sun exposure in winter. Instead of getting it through fortified milk or fish oil, we take a pill, and we feel a lot better about it.
Re:How to lower the price of plant-based meat on Sunday February 07, 2021 @01:11AM (#26053060)
Our livestock is given chemically manufactured b12 supplements because the soil is being depleted of the microbiology that produces and leaves it on plant material which is the natural way to get it. So everyone, including meat eaters are consumers of b12 supplements, unless they live in regions where modern agriculture does not have a strong foothold.

Similarly, modern western foods is full of supplements via “fortification” so to say that vegan diet is unnatural because of the need for supplements is a mute argument, so long as those supplements are part of everyone’s diet, and meat is just a carrier.

My point is still that the debate over plant based diets are too simplistic and based on anecdotes (on both sides). If we spent all the tax money we now spend on meat and dairy subsidies instead on unbiased research and education on general nutrition, I am convinced a lot of people would be surprised at the outcome.

Re:How to lower the price of plant-based meat on Saturday February 06, 2021 @04:35PM (#26050179)
So we need research and educational efforts into plant based nutrition instead of pumping all tax money into marketing and subsidies for the meat and dairy industry. Big surprise.

I’m raising two perfectly healthy vegan kids. They are above average on most factors that matter and continue to amaze people around us when we tell them they are vegan.

There is so much misinformation out there, and extrapolating from cases where parents fuck up isn’t helpful. All kinds of people fuck up, vegans or not, be it due to ignorance, incompetence or negligence.

I don’t know about the US but at least in Norway it’s stated as a reason. Age, geography and diagnosis is sometimes enough to identify a person, and there are regulations governing that here.
