Depends if it evolves into wide ranging paid bundles. Probably not something to worry about if you can pay 250/year for updates of all crates.io for instance. It would help the package contributors, not hinder observability, and not be

Would you bother to check something you distrust? I wouldn't, it would be a waste of time.

Have there been double blind studies on long COVID? Every time I hear about it sounds like nocebo.

Do you really need a burner account for this conversation?

Areligious, atheist, etc. Presupposes that religion, dogmas, sects are the default state of being. It isn't. Urban is, I think, a more accurate description when it is defined as anti-sectarian. I agree with you the year's got to b

Natus sum anno 2745. I like to think myself as urban, meaning anti-sectarian. Every sect is based on dogma, if we let those lead our lives again we're gonna be in for another thousand years of dark ages. I don't want to let this h

Since I presume steel is a more or less uniform substance compared to biological processes, why is metallurgical research still more or less experiment first? Shouldn't it possible nowadays to bruteforce a search for an alloy of any gi

someone should get funding to check links between antiperspirant use and depression/effects of dark thoughts. Anecdata: My mood improved gradually after I stopped using retail antiperspirants. At some point (aka 12-18 months later) I g

Is there a stated goal for this list? There's around 1k names in the list but over 400k homicides worldwide every year. I assume there's lots more hate and misc. crimes every year, so what's the usefulness of having only 1k u

I don't understand the comment you replied to either. To my naive mind it sounds like a lot of words put together to make it look like something deep, but that doesn't actually mean something. It'd be happy to be showed wrong

Is there ongoing research looking at adapting cancer fighting mechanisms of large mamals like elephants and whales? I read somewhere they had the lowest occurrence of cancers of all mamals.

I've seen 8 billion-dollar-in-revenues corps from the inside, they all have the same problems, just different flavors, instances of the same class. I've started to think, maybe wrongly, that the mistake made is stopping ourselves

I love this. The future will have more of this I hope. No more teams to fulfill requirements. Everything properly abstracted and useable by trained SMEs to assemble in days what takes months now.

There are very little consequences. Until states start doing s/sea/internet/g on their old-school maritime piracy laws[0] I don't think anything is going to change, except attacks are gonna get bigger and bigger. Under c
