To add to the other replies, my own grandparents sound similar to yours in that they were happily married for 52 years. But my grandfather passed away 5 years ago, and while I know she still misses him deeply, I don't think my grandmot

Wouldn't this just incentivize people to put things in the compost / recycling that don't belong there? I believe this is already a problem even in places that don't have such systems.

How far do you take that logic, though? A huge variety of medical issues could be argued to be "your fault" to some extent.

I had a combinatorics prof who taught this way, and I found it really effective. There's usually some key insight, and then you can just follow you nose through the rest of the proof.

If you're referring to Patrick O. Brown, you might be thinking of Impossible Foods, not Beyond Meat.

In bash I can type, for example, "git <tab><tab>" and it will list out all of the git commands. Not quite as nice as a menu, I suppose, but still helpful for discoverability.

This looks really cool. From the description is sounds a bit like DarkRP in Garry's Mod. I remember having a lot of fun with that mode.

It already has a pretty strong association with illegal activity, doesn't it? After speculation I'd wager buying drugs is the most common use-case.

OTOH shifting away from meat consumption would probably force more species diversity in our food production. I think corn and soybeans account for most of the crops grown for livestock feed, but humans eat a more varied diet. I image that w

Law enforcement has been failing to take the threat of right-wing extremism seriously for a long time. I think that's what we should be focused on addressing instead of clamping down on speech. The situation at the capitol should never

Apparently it's not running anymore, but https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditSimulator/ is sort of apropos. It's an entirely bot-generated subreddit. You can still read through the old posts.

Would cognitive empathy not be prerequisite to affective empathy? How can you share in another person's emotions if you're not able to recognize them in the first place?

Similarly, a gentle reminder when one's dick accidentally slips out of one's trousers is also appreciated.

Haven't seen it mentioned, Paradigms of AI Programming by Peter Norvig is another good introduction to Common Lisp. It focuses on classic AI algorithms which showcase the strengths of the language well. It's available online here

Interesting, in Canada we have Mars Bars and 3 Musketeers. I don't think I've ever seen a Milky Way.

NVIDIA's EGLDevice / EGLOutput / EGLStream API isn't too bad in and of itself. The annoying thing is trying to have backends for both it and DRM / GBM in the same application. The programming models are just so diff

I don't think satellites stay in orbit for very long - like a few decades at the very most.

"ECC released its implementation of Halo 2 under the TGPPL license." This had me confused and excited for a second. Alas, it's hot the Halo 2 I was thinking of.

Page rank is a funny one, it's named after one of its creators, but also describes what the algorithm does. Kinda like Baker's chocolate (named after Walter Baker, but is popular for baking). I wonder if there are other examples.
