Engineers usually answer to something like a city council who are elected representatives. If the community at large does not support a change, it is unlikely to go anywhere. I know many engineers in these sorts of roles who spend years bui

There is a quick list here: https://github.com/encode/httpx/?tab=readme-ov-file#features Of these, I use the ability to make requests directly to ASGI applications (i.e. FastAPI) extensively when writing tests. I

My guess: Canada? I knew a nurse that would smuggle bottles of it back to the USA from Canada. It has a fascinating history :)

I'd like to hear more about the hedgehog story. Is there a writeup you can link to?

The point is to make a ballpark estimate, or at least to estimate the order of magnitude. From the sibling comment: > Individual proteins are capable of basic computation which are then integrated into regulatory circuits, epigenetics, a

I softened my anti-Myna stance recently after I saw some of them devouring cockroaches that were escaping from the refuse shoot of an HDB.

If I understand your question correctly, the cell devision figure directly addresses it (the answer is yes).

It's interesting that mammal lungs are inefficient for the same reason two-stroke piston engines are.

Biometrics are effective at preventing snooping of your password. Before biometrics, I would eventually know everyone in my home's pin unless I made a conscious effort to always look away each time they unlocked their phone. I'd b

For me, autocorrect is just not worth it. I'd rather fix my own mistakes than supervise/fight a language model. To me, the latter takes much more effort. And once I disabled AI my typing accuracy (and spelling ability!) improved,

I always liked the Sublime Text model. You pay once, and keep your licence no matter where you work. Same with my keyboard. I like to own my tools.

It's an equitable system. Ideally there would be a clear indication as soon as each fine happens, perhaps a sign with your plate number. This way individuals can correct their dangerous behaviour immediately, rather than accidentally a

I like this argument, I just wonder if the bar rises over time. Do you think that in 5 years you will say you were barely sentient for the first ~30 years?

Huh I had not made that connection between the food and central heating. Maybe this is why every cold draft feels like an admonition to keep active. Wouldn't want to be slothful... Regardless, the heating situation has fostered an out

Taste is more than redundant. It's is a temptation towards gluttony. You wouldn't want your food tempting you to sin, would you?

Depends where. As you travel towards the south of the country or to the Canary Islands, tomatoes have a stronger tomato flavour.

It's a fair point, but, like other business owners (large or small), a farmer with a Tesla in the Netherlands is likely driving a company car and taking advantage of the tax incentives for company electric cars.

I tried WinGet out when it came out, but ended up sticking with scoop. What would you say are the advantages of WinGet over scoop?

That's a good point. I've definitely had that alarm experience before, but not in the context of dreams within dreams. I think the idea of each inner dream happening faster than the outer one is probably just an Inception thing. F

Can you elaborate more about the time dilation? I've had dreams about waking up in succession, but have not experienced a time dilation. Do you dream you are falling asleep, having an inner dream, and waking up again to the outer dream
