I've tried render as well and so far it's working well.

Women haven't been too thrilled either about their career advancement being sacrificed because of workplace sexism.

Your 3rd point doesn't really stand up as nature has been genetically engineering plants for far longer than humans. The sweet potato for example has had DNA implanted from other species via the agrobacterium. There are other examples

I like meat a lot, but over the last year I've reduced my meat consumption to about once or twice a month. I can make a delicious chick pea and lentil soup, or a simple tomato pasta sauce and i don't feel the need for meat. Recipe

Literally in the first episode, one character has a nervous breakdown and I quote: "We can so far into the darkness. Why couldn't we have brought more light?"

That scene in the behemoth in s3e11 between camina and ashford is one my favourite. Their discussion of what it is that makes belters what they are in that situation, such great writing

The protomolecule is pretty much super advanced tech from a civilisation that had a billion year or so headstart. For me, a big part of the show is about how technology changes us and the protomolecule is an extreme example of that. Its not

Totally agree, it's a great show that gets a lot of the physics right (not totally but that's ok), but also biology. For example, people living in the belt going to Ganymede to conceive because it has a magnetic field that protect

Not an expert but it is possible to mix and match with the new automation api. The example below mixes typescript with go. https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/tree/main/...

Same here, at my previous work, they used python to generate terraform hcl. I told them you might as well use pulumi

no the youtubers, (metatron and skallagrim). They seem to specialize in historical swordfighting, so I think its worth listening to what they have to say on the subject

by 7sigma 6y ago
Also as metatron's video points out, a knight probably has battle experience, so he knows what works and what doesn't https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=622e3hBcb7s

The video you linked to is a basically a brawl in the street in the 20th century with non armed combat. Apple to Oranges. I also agree with you about martial arts movie where a single guy takes on 20 people, not very realistic. (however hav

Yeah it's cheesy but it's quite accurate that it shows how hard it is to kill someone clad in chain mail and full armour. The bandits are not very well trained although they do try to stab between the plates bit it's still ve

If you want to see what a fully trained knight in armour can do see this video. https://youtu.be/8vYFFx4whoE There's a reason why they used hammers in battle. Was more ffective to bash the armour than try to cut betwee

For me its the opposite, I prefer the youtube version. The gif was way too fast and had to pause it several times because I was like "Hang on! what happened at this step?"

1. lisp 2. realising that its more about delivering than dreaming up the perfect abstraction (get it done). 3. what you think the user wants vs what the user thinks they want vs what the user actually wants vs what the user actually needs.

Firstly, the milking you refer to is already happening, and has been happening for hundreds of years. Second, as i've already said, the way i see reparations is not a simple cash transfer. Its stopping the systemic injustices and havin

So you are assuming all black people are poorly educated and will suddenly be flushed with cash? I wasn't talking about wealth transfer. I was mainly talking about stopping discrimination and providing loans and scholarships to a secti

No, it is the case and is amply documented. Slavery helped propel the american economy to become an industrial powerhouse https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/8/16/20806069/slavery-ec... Even if it w
