Past generations of my family used to name animals that they raised for meat after dishes they could end up in. There are practices people can engage in to distance themselves from the animals they interact with. But also some people who ra

I used to get tipped in eggs by this wonderful human at a bar I worked at and while I'm not sure I could tell them apart in a blind taste test I can say that the variety of pretty colors the egg shells came in and the richness of the y

I wonder how likely that is? I suspect their understanding of their diagnostic technique is flawed, but beyond that, would a small enough group have a similarly small pool of common afflictions such that you could develop a useful body of m

I think I like what you're getting at (placing blame on the human not the object), but could you tone the attitude down? This read to me as an almost snide correction, I genuinely think you'd convince people if you 'invited&#

I think its different - you're keeping track of something, whereas some creatures can evidently just feel the earths magnetic field.

Foxes can, and a brief search suggests cats may also?

Based on a first hand account I read (but cannot source offhand) Rust's slow compiles are because anytime there was a tradeoff involving compile time at the expense of something else they'd always choose that something else. Not c

Uhm, yes, is this where the line for the beta test starts?

I think they are talking about times where you realize a mistake as you are making it as opposed to hindsight, given that 100ms seems pretty reasonable.

No. The article is talking about things we think of as being easy because they are easy for a human to perform but that are actually very difficult to formalize/reproduce artificially. The person you are responding to is instead compar

I think in the JSON case its because you can't have true comments, any comments are intrinsically part of the data structure, and you invite problems by including irrelevant information

This topic appears to have sparked some furor, maybe your comment got caught in the crossfire?

Honestly you're coming off a bit shit here, I don't read the other person's responses as defensive or insecure at all, so I suspect you're saying that to be rude.

Maybe try reposting at a different hour of the day? This was interesting, a little surprised it received no substantive commentary.

Yes, this seems possible. I only wonder if it is too fragile to be self perpetuating. But we're here after all, and this place used to be just a wet rock.

I suspect its more about how much national information you're exposed to today than any sort of time based moral failing.

Harry Potter isnt typically considered scifi because it doesn't critically examine its own premise and because the rules of the universe are yoked to the needs of the plot.

A common refrain in american homes and schools is about american superiority over all other countries, especially their rivals like china.

A simple example is clock timing in chess, you have to trust the client about when it received and when it sent if you want to avoid treating everyone as a cheater and penalizing genuine latency. If I remember right an anecdote from someone

You gotta think about surface area and risk when comparing apples to oranges here.
