I assume pets are mostly getting the parts of the animal that humans don't want to eat, so this doesn't necessarily imply that pets increase the scale of animal agriculture.

I love SQLite's software model (embeddable library rather than a separate binary), but I often sorely miss the rich data model provided by postgres. I miss things like strong type checking, special types to represent times/coordin

No, I have zero problem detecting sarcasm or irony in text. If you think about it for 5 seconds it's usually pretty clear.

I think only morons, autistics, etc have a habitually hard time identifying sarcasm. These are not the people we should optimize the web experience for.

Attributing colon cancer to meat is, it turns out, complete bullshit, just like most other nonsense anti-meat fear-mongering (uric acid, cholesterol, etc.).

One of several motte-and-bailey tactics used by vegans is going from “Veganism is healthy” To “Veganism can be healthy if you exercise an impressive amount of restraint, discipline, and judgement in your vegan diet”

The only good Star Wars movie of the last umpteen years was Rogue One, where they weren’t trying to sell toys to children.

I don’t think there’s any complicated explanation; if you are never exposed to a particular state of being (e.g. public nudity) while growing up, it will probably be uncomfortable as an adult if you only have a normal level of openness to n

See LiquidHaskell for probably the most mature SMT-based refinement types implementation.

This is pretty funny. It sounds like some governing bodies the author of this document is familiar with have inappropriately used this forecasting procedure as a governance procedure. This is totally something I can imagine some bright-eyed

I'm always really impressed how he can make a video that sounds like clickbait, but usually go into pretty interesting (and accurate) scientific detail.

Why not just use Haskell? You don't get OTP/Beam, but the GHC runtime provides almost all the same functionality (plus a lot more), to the point where the Cloud Haskell library is basically a full clone of Erlang's actor func

I'm skeptical that duck typing can really be considered a full "solution", but at the very least it seems like a good bet.

One problem with CAS systems in general is that they either make restrictive assumptions about the types of algebraic objects, or they require you to provide extremely detailed type information yourself, beyond that which most people are ca

The preponderance of research suggests that modern humans in high-IQ societies are substantially K-overselected. That is, we are investing an irrational amount of resources into a small number of average children when by basically any ratio

Obviously it's an oversimplification, but the point is that marriage nicely handles (among other things) the allocation of child-rearing externalities.

Medical outcomes rapidly become much worse and more expensive for both mother and child as mothers age, as well as precipitously falling birth rates partially attributable to the increased difficulty of having marginal children as one ge

It's clear that, on so many levels, the gradual deferral of child-bearing to the 30s (even 40s!) has been incredibly costly and destructive to society. We need to figure out a way to reconcile having children starting in the late tee

"Women have different needs" is both extremely accurate and extremely predictive. Taking issue with the statement because it's not perfectly correct 100% of the time is, at best, exceedingly pedantic.
