ChatGPT made me think of blindsight too. Great read.

I don’t think this is true? Anecdotal (would love to see actual studies) but many of my friends and I are vegetarian, and we’d jump at the chance to try this. I miss meat.

I take your point, but this is not a language design problem -- it's a library design problem. These are just function names.

You sound like me, 5 years ago, at age 21. I only realized I am actually an extroverted person a few months ago.

It's not very clear from your comment where exactly you are, but in The Netherlands credit cards are quite common — almost everyone I know has one, and I was raised here.

Agreed, and, in addition, having every single student explain their program would be a significant burden on teaching resources.

The scrolljacking on this site is awful. Why do people keep doing this?

Don't forget about Javascript! I wouldn't be surprised if React and Redux and new-ish JS features like `map`, `reduce`, etc. have contributed significantly as well.

Why, then, do most US states have such laughably low sales tax rates, compared to e.g. the EU?

Maybe is a monad cause you can wrap something in a Maybe (that’s ‘return’) and you can also bind a ‘Maybe a’ to an action that takes an ‘a’ (that’s ‘bind’ or ‘>>=‘).

I doubt there are many users who still want a headphone jack.

This is true, and it’s why I said “as much as you think”. There seems to exist a narrative that these farmers are producing “our” food, which is incorrect.

What do you mean by “‘low-food’ (anti-meat) regimes”?
232.
by niek_pas 4y ago
Maybe. People are going to drown if we do not act to reduce nitrogen emissions (And eating less meat would significantly reduce emissions, but that seems unlikely to happen on a large scale)

Claiming that this is garbage based on a single trailer seems a little premature.

As I said in another comment, most of the food produced by these farmers is destined for export.
235.
by niek_pas 4y ago
It’s important to note that much of the food produced by these farms is exported, so national food prices may not be affected as much as you would think.

Fair, although I think we need to understand git’s shortcomings to understand what product needs to be built next. I’d argue that’s what this author is doing.
