The west is not arid due to beaver hunting. It’s been arid for thousands of years due to tectonic plate activity and a cold deep ocean that flows clockwise bringing colder water down from the north. The cold water and tall mountains produce

There is already a biome living in the arid west. It’s hubris and vanity to remove and destroy that biome and replace it with our own.

Yuck, this would destroy the ecology of the area and require an insane amount of energy. If water is scarce, the most efficient thing to do is move the humans.

This feels a little like confusing early career learning with perfectionism. The stories involve their own junior career where they were learning what good code should be and trying to apply it. Later, as they write better code without need

Unrelated to what you are citing, but I believe a “factoid” is something that looks like a fact but is not. Like how a planetoid looks like a planet but isn’t one. I only realized this myself decades after using the term factoid due to page

Not sure this is very causative. The study seems like it spanned up to 17 years and required self reported diet details. There is little isolation in such a study and there’s no word on when/how long people kept this diet. I’m a little

Is the one making money the one making the art? The machine doesn’t make money, the owner of the machine does. Thus the owner is committing something closer to theft than creativity. Especially if the machine was trained on copyrighted art.

I also found that it was "closer" in and I couldn't see as many of the enemies. For casting, this was an issue.

I think I lost the lede when the author implied text editors were simple and easy. My understanding is that text editing uses sophisticated data structures and is actually a really difficult problem to solve. Especially when combined with l

Wouldn’t the “left-shift” be a compiler error instead of a panic?

UUIDs are 128-bits, not characters. The string representation is just for humans.

Early SQS basically did this. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not but it quickly taught me to respect redelivery.

So, the real problem isn’t noted until towards the end which is that these methods require keeping some state, thus making the requests more expensive. It’s a good trade off when throughput is low and the impact of lumpy traffic is high. At

I’ve personally opted to simply turn off my video in all calls and force them to be audio-only. I do this for the reasons in the OP but also to subtly encourage others to opt for audio-only and to make the space more equitable for all. Some

I understand what you mean but the vast majority of their structure is carbon based and that comes from gaseous CO2. Can’t survive without the dirt but can’t get big without CO2

I really hope that the corning portion of the company survives and continues to make pyrex, corelle, and corning products. They are some of my favorite ceramics and have been a staple for decades. I'm very sad to hear about this.
