   One big cheat meal per week can undo a lot of work. It's easy to blow through a entire day's worth of calories and macros at one sitting let alone four!

   That's going to break 3rd party websites that use platform.twitter.com, but whatever floats your boat.

   I haven't eaten a beef burger in long enough that I can't remember how the substitutes taste any different. Good enough for me, but tastes vary.

   I installed Linux Mint for my Linux-aversive, non-techie wife after her Windows machine died. It's been several weeks with no real complaints. I did have have some driver issues, but that would have been the same story with other distr

   I don't share the idea that seems pervasive in tech circles that technological development and use is inevitable. There are many, many cases where we have the technology to do a thing but have decided to forbid our institutions from us

   We can all think of something one president or the other has done that we each believe should have led to their removal from office, yet it hasn't once happened through impeachment.

   Impeachment as currently written has been proven over and over to be a paper tiger. We need real remedies, not theoretical ones.

   But your money is held in limbo until the dispute is resolved, right?

    With credit cards, it's the bank's money which is one reason Americans overwhelmingly use them over debit cards.

    The real productivity boost happens when you become fluent and it feels like a second language that describes actions on text objects. At this point I can do most things as fast as I can think what needs to be done. It's like being bil

    That's the intent of course, but it's just as easy to refuse to verify age for certain endpoints or provide incorrect verification. I'm trying to think how an authoritarian government would use this.

    Setting aside the feasibility of an amendment and whether an administration would follow it, even just the ability to say yea or nay to anyone accessing information is chilling.

    "Do you want to wreck your home because you hate its contents or because you hate that it has walls?" I've heard that in the context of other midlife crisis decisions, but it applies well enough here too.

    Don't know about you, but I definitely don't want the federal government intervening between me and my porn. So many opportunities for abuse of power!

    I think you're describing ELT, an approach that I agree with and try to implement as often as possible. I think that's orthogonal to the occasional need to use SQL to extract source data. And it's hard to beat the performance

    Mayor is a ceremonial position in a lot of places, so replacing a human mascot with an animal isn't far fetched.

    So you have never needed to write SQL in your ETLs? I guess it depends on whether you consider that code, but at least 50% of the time I have to use SQL for one reason or another rather than just pointing the tool at a source and target.

    I first heard the term Nice Guy from the dating world to describe guys who expect women to have sex with them, date them, etc. if they treat the women nicely. Like others have said, quid pro quo obligation. I haven't noticed this in th

    What's a viable alternative to distribute research funding? I don't think we should return to the day of gentleman scientists who fund their own research during their leisure time.

    I wonder how many of us there really are. Is it enough to make them change their ways? There are enough people with ad blocking software for them to make the effort to deploy countermeasures, but how far is each side willing to go?

    To each their own, of course, but there are lots of ways to modify bodyweight exercises to accommodate even the most sedentary. I wouldn't exercise half as much if I had to go to the gym. It's less convenient for my WFH lifestyle

    I use it the same way because I use it locally 100% of the time. I would probably care about persistence more if I used tmux on remote machines.

    Police budgets continue to rise despite movements calling for reductions. This wouldn't be an effect of police abolition that hasn't actually happened.

    I believe this works differently in the US than Europe, for example. PINs aren't required for my cards which all have contactless chips at this point. Aren't they required for European cards though?

    Even with coherent definitions, it may be impossible to test for sentience with any degree of certainty.

    Seems like an arbitrary criterion. Human beings' conscious experience is interrupted by deep sleep every night.
