7sigma

They should take a cue from the Expanse. Like the wire, they just made the characters epic, male or female (having amazing actresses helped)

Try pulumi

Really? I can move the cursor around the input field just fine and backspace from there

I just checked the calculator app on my android and there definitely is a parenthesis button. On Android 10

I've tried render as well and so far it's working well.

Women haven't been too thrilled either about their career advancement being sacrificed because of workplace sexism.

Your 3rd point doesn't really stand up as nature has been genetically engineering plants for far longer than humans. The sweet potato for example has had DNA implanted from other species via the agrobacterium. There are other examples out there.

Also nearly every vegetable has been modified via breeding as the wild counterpart is a lot less edible. For example bananas and watermelons used to have a lot more seeds.

I like meat a lot, but over the last year I've reduced my meat consumption to about once or twice a month. I can make a delicious chick pea and lentil soup, or a simple tomato pasta sauce and i don't feel the need for meat.

Recipes like yotam otolenghis courgette terrine with tomato chutney is simply awesome. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/sep/26/yotam-ottolengh...

I also replaced steak burgers with beyond burgers or similar and I don't notice the difference. I still miss meat sometimes but I eat for special occasions or barbeques.

Literally in the first episode, one character has a nervous breakdown and I quote: "We can so far into the darkness. Why couldn't we have brought more light?"

That scene in the behemoth in s3e11 between camina and ashford is one my favourite. Their discussion of what it is that makes belters what they are in that situation, such great writing

The protomolecule is pretty much super advanced tech from a civilisation that had a billion year or so headstart. For me, a big part of the show is about how technology changes us and the protomolecule is an extreme example of that.

Its not backed up by science and thats not the point. The point is how humans react to it and how the story progresses after that is really great, one of the best series overall i've ever watched.

Totally agree, it's a great show that gets a lot of the physics right (not totally but that's ok), but also biology. For example, people living in the belt going to Ganymede to conceive because it has a magnetic field that protects them from harmful radiation is one of those small nice touches.

The two culprits were GRU officers according to this investigation

I remember watching that show as a teen, always a pleasure to watch.

Fun fact, the presenter played the Baldrick character in Blackadder

Not an expert but it is possible to mix and match with the new automation api. The example below mixes typescript with go.

Same here, at my previous work, they used python to generate terraform hcl. I told them you might as well use pulumi

no the youtubers, (metatron and skallagrim). They seem to specialize in historical swordfighting, so I think its worth listening to what they have to say on the subject

Also as metatron's video points out, a knight probably has battle experience, so he knows what works and what doesn't

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=622e3hBcb7s

Adding a link to the skallagrim reaction

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x80hOR42szg

The video you linked to is a basically a brawl in the street in the 20th century with non armed combat. Apple to Oranges. I also agree with you about martial arts movie where a single guy takes on 20 people, not very realistic. (however have a look at how a guy can hold off multiple opponents in non armed combat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8_zWBQXZj4)

Here we are talking about a fully trained knight in his peak condition with really good armor and sword. The bandits/peasants in the video are not very well protected and don't seem to take advantage of their numbers due to inexperience/fear factor. Also in the video he does fight 3 or 4 people at once and they do try and make him fall to the ground, but again he is trained and knows how to keep his distance and stay upright and he also takes damage.

You could argue that it might be not 100% realistic, but I think it does show the effectiveness of knights. I mean think about it, if a knight could be taken down by a bunch of peasants, why did invest so much time and money on knights and armour.

Here is the video review by Skallagrim

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x80hOR42szg

Yeah it's cheesy but it's quite accurate that it shows how hard it is to kill someone clad in chain mail and full armour. The bandits are not very well trained although they do try to stab between the plates bit it's still very difficult to do.

Also the guys doing the videos are re enactment pros and yes what they do is a bit theatrical, but other YouTubers specialising in this area have said it's quite legit. I'll link to video when I have a chance

If you want to see what a fully trained knight in armour can do see this video.

https://youtu.be/8vYFFx4whoE

There's a reason why they used hammers in battle. Was more ffective to bash the armour than try to cut between the plates

For me its the opposite, I prefer the youtube version. The gif was way too fast and had to pause it several times because I was like "Hang on! what happened at this step?"

This blog has an excellent breakdown on the Spartan myths

https://acoup.blog/2019/08/16/collections-this-isnt-sparta-p...

1. lisp

2. realising that its more about delivering than dreaming up the perfect abstraction (get it done).

3. what you think the user wants vs what the user thinks they want vs what the user actually wants vs what the user actually needs.

4. that there are always tradeoffs

5. building a product by yourself (whether on the side or starting up) will give you invaluable experience.

Still would dwarfed by those those linked in emails

Firstly, the milking you refer to is already happening, and has been happening for hundreds of years. Second, as i've already said, the way i see reparations is not a simple cash transfer. Its stopping the systemic injustices and having programes in place to help black communities in terms of loans, grants and educational scholarship.

If you agree that the New Deal and GI bill helped spur economic development (though they were not perfect) and lifted poor white people out of poverty, why not do that today for black people? Black people were systematically left out of that help, so time to give them the help they are owed.

So you are assuming all black people are poorly educated and will suddenly be flushed with cash?

I wasn't talking about wealth transfer. I was mainly talking about stopping discrimination and providing loans and scholarships to a section of the population that has been discriminated against to redress centuries of oppression.

No, it is the case and is amply documented. Slavery helped propel the american economy to become an industrial powerhouse

https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/8/16/20806069/slavery-ec...

Even if it was the case that the civil war wiped out the gains from slavery, it doesn't change the case for reparations as well as the other injustices that were being committed are are still being committed to this day

Its not just slavery, its jim crow, segregation, black people being systematically disadvantaged through racist policies like getting higher rates on loans despite having the same risk. Also:

- the New Deal excluded black people

- The GI Bill excluded black people

etc...

Slaves built a huge part of the economy for free and americans benefit from that work for which they were not compensated, so yes there absolutely should be reparations. I think this should be done in several ways:

- monetarily: by funding scholarships and other projects to remedy the injustices perpetrated and help black americans accumulate some of the generational wealth they have been denied. Although at the end of the day, no amount of money will ever compensate for the hurt, death and atrocities, its a start.

- education: teaching kids at school what slavery was really like, instead of what some of the schoolbooks teach (that slavery wasn't that bad for example). Teaching kids about systemic racism that persists to this day.

- policing, housing, prisons: watch 13th documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krfcq5pF8u8) its free on netflix
