It sounds like you’re importing a lot of other information that the article simply doesn’t cover or even support.

Monads and functors are nothing new either, but that doesn’t mean giving them that name was a bad idea. Moreover, the term “unary” is used to distinguish from other, non-unary options: https://grpc.io/docs/what-is-grpc&

A lot of this kind of criticism rubs me the wrong way, especially complaining about having to use words or maths concepts, or having to learn new things. That's often not really a statement on the inherent virtue of a tool, and more of

I would say yes to both questions, in some sense. In many ways, they don't merely get attacked by immune cells, but also participate in immune function (and pathology). At the same time, intracellular components found outside the cell,

To be honest I'm not really sure what advice to give you. You're probably in a spot where your knowledge/perspective is advanced enough to make you impatient around the fundamentals, and at the same time I'm not sure tha

Isn't Helm typically described as a package manager for Kubernetes?[0][1][2] But more importantly, what I'm getting at is that with Terraform I get infrastructure as code. [0] "The package manager for Kubernetes" https:

My immediate question is whether/how this can be an improvement over using the terraform helm provider. If I need a better GUI anywhere, it’s probably in EKS, or something that makes working with EKS a bit less painful.

This is an incredible perspective coming from a 16 y/o. For what it’s worth, it took me spending 12+ years studying biochem and adjacent topics at university, to reach a very similar perspective. The one criticism I’d make here (and tb

That sounds rather dangerous. Free mitochondria provoke quite intense inflammatory reactions. I’m not saying there’s nothing to see there, but if there’s anything it’s not obvious.

Calling them a “prime suspect” is both true and the wrong way around. They are ubiquitous and necessary to maintain normal physiological conditions / normal function, across all cell types and in all systems. This is the reason why we

In your argument you fell right into the trap of confounding simplicity and familiarity. Familiarity is when you say “look, this is like that other thing that I already do, neat”.

Wet lab. It was horrible. 6 years of dishwashing and monotony. I write software now and am much happier. The numbers were very difficult to reproduce and sensitive to tiny variations in experimental conditions, to the point of mystery. My M

Beware the difference between familiarity and simplicity! To compare readability, you must first get used to the thing.

Under what definition of “hate crime” is this possibly remotely a hate crime? IMO we should not grant nonsense the courtesy of allowing it to frame the conversation. It’s important that words mean things.

Yeah it seems like a lot of totally meaningless words that overall suggests that she’s just feeling uncomfortable. Not to diminish her feelings, but as far as I’m concerned the words are rubbish.

In biochem sometimes there are a lot of skills involved, to the point where it's almost magic intangible qualities making an experiment succeed. Especially for more manual work. For my masters' research I spent 6 years refining a

Oh, perhaps. And I didn't mean to suggest that I was special in any way, but... When I discuss this with people in real life, it is very rare that I find someone who relates to this way of describing how I think. Most people are just s

I 100% do not think in words or sentences or language. It feels more like node-traversing a graph of concepts, but it's all completely abstract. While I am able to consciously play back my thoughts linguistically or visually with some

Before you can prove anything about consciousness, even "to your satisfaction" or in relation to yourself, you would need to propose a clear and unambiguous definition of it.

I haven't claimed that animals don't have it. In general, empathy can be either an evolved behaviour, a learned behaviour, or both. In humans this is largely-but-probably-not-exclusively socialized behaviour. Most cases of (human

You seem to think we're somehow "empathetic by default", but that's something I'd disagree with. Our primal instinct is one of tribalism and auto-centrism, but over long periods of time we've developed a (fragi
