I don't need a bulletproof definition of race to oppose discrimination on its basis

I don't think the people opposing this realize how ridiculous they sound

Unfortunately, "figure out how to get rid of food waste" does not mean point out solutions, it means figure out how to implement them.

I'm very passionate about food waste, and I agree with your assessment. But "educating people at scale" is not a problem that humanity has solved yet.

True, but at the same time, if your grandma's identity was stolen you'd be more likely to be willing to discard some freedom for the sake of security. There's a general willingness to trade incremental freedom for security in

My understanding is that a particles, like photons, don't have wave shifts. That's an emergent property of many particles

Experience teaches me that the worst time to use a new design pattern or technique is _right after you learn about it_. The problem in your code base you thought about while learning the pattern was a useful proxy for where it could be appl

Its been on my back burner for a decade. I think we can do a lot better than the ones on the market. I wrote up an idea I had for it (permissive license, I just want the thing to exist) https://koubaa.github.io/refreshable-b

This seems to be the shop that developed the loki physics simulation interface. I'm looking for that and don't see it here, just seems like they're throwing that brand name around for general purpose animation tools.

I wouldn't assume this particular arrowhead was used as a weapon

Vacuum tubes were quaint tools for labs, but then someone figured out how to program logic on them. You can't a priori plan out a path to new technology, it's usually surprising. This new category of materials can be a platform fo

And alternative C APIs are being proposed, which is as exciting as all of the above

Might be a good time to write concurrency first C extension to compete with the legacy ones

I would add that interface design is so hard you have to assume you will get it wrong, and think about adaptability as a design goal.

Technically I agree but I think my point still roughly stands

PSA: try to enjoy it. It's likely the coolest summer of the rest of your life

Yeah but the fact that you didn't have to learn English the same way they did to get to the point that you are now _was_ an advantage

What the UK has going for it is that its population speaks the technology and science lingua franca, by default.
