Did you ever go and eat a bag of pure sugar? Or rather a bag of sweets, which usually contain other stuff, not just sugar. We're not addicted to sugar, the "sugar cravings" are mostly to combos of carbs and fats. Eating enoug

Romanian here: the tomato quality varies by a lot. All stores have crappy "plastic" tasting tomatoes. It's not that easy to find really good tomatoes (in summer you can find them at local markets, in winter... Fancy imports I

Take a look at Michael Levin's work: he's been able to get animals to grow eyes on their legs (or something similar), without gene manipulation, but just by messing with bioelectrical fields. Paper: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm

First, I agree with tptacek that Ghostty is a work of craftsmanship. Mitchell is a very talented dev and he says he greatly benefits from using AI. On the other hand I understand your point that some people got into coding because of coding

I think people have been selling things that they don't know how they work for a long time. Think herbalists selling medicinal plants, I'm pretty sure Romans didn't know how or why concrete works, but they still used it.

If they need the expertise only once every ten years? Then it makes no sense to have in house expertise. Or the company expands to a new market and they need new expertise. They can hire, but they don't know who to hire, so consultants

Brain don't work (comment written at 8AM my time). I'm not a morning person either. Coffee doesn't really help. For me it not 4-6 hours, but 2 is common.

There are some folks (like Donald Hoffman) that believe that consciousness is what creates reality. He believes consciousness is the base layer of reality and then we make up physical reality.

Paul Krugman (Nobel laureate in economy) said in 1998 that the internet is no biggie. Many companies needed convincing to adopt the internet (heck, some still need convincing). Would you say the same thing ("If it helped as much as its

I think it's implying that it gives an incentive to make things more expensive, because then they can make more money. If that profit cap didn't exist, they could make more money in other ways, such as lowering costs but keeping p

Unfortunately calories out is a function of calories in. You eat less calories, your body might start consuming less calories. Also, there are two different pathways for using glucose in the body: aerobic and anaerobic. The aerobic one prod

Glucose can be converted into ATP via two pathways in the mitochondria: one produces 30 something ATP, the other produces 2. Yeah, sure the 1st law of thermodynamics is valid (the rest of the energy goes into heat), but for your cells, they

Yes, PyCharm has settings, but I've barely touched them. In 99% of the cases, the out of the box experience just works. Can't exactly say that about vim (or emacs).

I was a hardcore vim user 10 years ago, but now I just use PyCharm to work. I'm paid to solve problems, not to futz around with vim configs. Can you make vim work roughly the same way? Probably you can get pretty close. But how many ho
