Agree, subsidies should go only to calorie-rich foods that can lessen a widespread famine in case of big troubles. Not to the freshest cucumbers.

Your link is about a healthy diet, not surviving. Agricultural subsidies are to avoid or lessen famine, not to look rosy.

You're moving the goalpost from "prevent starving" to "fully self-sustaining". You don't need 99% variety of cuisine in case of a big war, you need calories. A lot of calories. UPDATE: and BTW, if world populat

Every country subsidies their agriculture for national security purpose. You don't want an enemy to starve you in case of a big war.

Not true. In early rocket days, soviets tried to use "move fast and break things" approach. They even put artillery generals in charge, who very much liked the approach. The problem became apparent with several failed launches of

I believe a clearer example would be: `async function f(): Foo` vs `function f(): Future<Foo>`. Isn't it how it works inside anyway?

No, the post doesn't say about hiding that, you can write "created by AI" or "helped by LLM". The post is about advertising for commercial products.

Well, that is literally it's definition: sense of the commons. In other words -- what masses feel. I know it changed its meaning over time, but that was the original meaning.

IDE (like IntelliJ) can already do syntax coloring, autocompletion a even schema checking for known .properties. I don't see a reason in short names if I don't type them anyway, it's all autocompletion.

Long time ago i thought .properties was bad, as it has no structure. But later I realized repeating full path to every config param is really good for readability, and code reviews. The only thing I wish it had is @import-s from a separate

IMO, networking is just hard, especially debugging -- how to observe some part when a path there is blocked by who knows what -- firewalls, incorrect routing, hardware port isolation etc. And honestly I think ubiquity makes it easier, not h

Why do you need Java four times in tests? They are all the same. The main, I would say, defining, feature of Java is "no of undefined behavior". Aka "write once, run everywhere".
