So the local economy is thriving and people are getting rich? That kind of change really does ruin the charm of so many communities.

ACTUALLY it is not animal agriculture, but plant agriculture, which is responsible for this devastation among birds. It is the thousand-acre mono-crop soybeans and wheat and corn fields that destroy habitats and flood the world with pest

Have you guys considered the machines are reading your private repos all the time? Forget about LLMs -- what about your text editor? Also, it is likely that your browser has access to your private repo when you use your browser to browse

My dream car is a minivan -- it is literally the most practical kind of vehicle I can think of, so that is what I fantasize about getting. Why are you so impressed that the model Y is not a minivan? Wouldn't any car just be better if

I'm currently contracted on a greenfield Django REST framework app and if the decision had been up to me I probably would have gone with Supabase right off the bat. But honestly I'm absolutely loving Django REST framework over va

I have just begun playing with Supabase and have a habit of running `brew upgrade` several times per week. It bugs me that the Supabase CLI is updated every single time I run `brew upgrade`. I suspect that if I were to run `brew upgrade`

I completely agree -- it blows my mind that the BEAM/OTP is not more widely used. It is such a phenomenally well-designed system and it suits modern use cases perfectly.

We need to move away from agriculture as a means of food production and switch to becoming herders. Farming is an incredibly destructive practice. If we were all to switch to eating only meat, then we could get rid of farming entirely and

In the old days, there were flocks of birds so large that they would blot out the sun, and the herds of bison were so large that it would take a week for a herd to walk by your campsite.

By the way, you just keep demonstrating circular reasoning. For instance, you write: "I'm still confused how you'd go about proving something unprovable...", which tells me that you're starting with the assumption
