Not a vegetarian but I would bet in 100-200 years eating real meat will become taboo.

Look at the research.
> the Beyond Burger generates 90% less greenhouse gas emissions, requires 46% less energy, has >99% less impact on water scarcity and 93% less impact on land use than a ¼ pound of U.S. beef.

Do you think those are unhealthy too?
> Aspartame is one of the most rigorously tested food ingredients.[5] Reviews by over 100 governmental regulatory bodies found the ingredient safe for consumption at current levels.[6][7][8][9][10] As of 2018, several reviews of clinical trials showed that using aspartame in place of sugar reduces calorie intake and body weight in adults and children.
If zero-calorie sweeteners didn't exist I feel like we would view discovering one as a holy grail/miracle drug
I bet a ton of obesity has been prevented just due to diet soda
Imagine if the same thing existed for carbs
Being a frontend/backend dev after coming out of a CS degree in uni is insanely boring, I feel like I'm barely using my brain at this point.
But the opportunity cost is also crazy high in the current job market.
Masters I can see but PhD would really set you back considering time value of money.
Not saying it’s good/bad but I see this as inevitable given the tendency of increasing sensitivity of society
What determines that NFT "A" is the canonical NFT of artwork "X"?
As a user why would I even care about a real loading bar here?
I just care whether the page loads or not.
I had never taken a theory of computation class so reading this book was a good casual starting point to understand how mathematical logic and computing are related
Plus there’s some good history bits in there too
I feel like a lot of them are just people who see something getting praise and need to put it down to make themselves feel better.
Seeing other people be clever somehow threatens them.
It’s possible that Linux gaming is about to become huge
There’s an old (7 years?) Q&A interview with Linus Torvalds where someone asks him about "linux on the desktop". After ranting about the craziness of packaging apps for all the different distros he specifically says Valve could be the company that drives standardization for that.
Thought it was interesting that he forsaw valve getting so involved in Linux back then.
Excited to see the effect of SteamOS/SteamDeck on the Linux ecosystem in general
C + smart pointers and container types?
I'm not a fan of facebook either but this is simply not true.
< 30 is the _largest_ proportion of facebook users

Even putting Facebook aside Oculus is dominating the VR space due to cheap hardware, which I would bet is a ton of < 30 people.

My point here is consumers don't _actually_ care about company morals, despite the prevailing narrative.
Have they actually detailed this anywhere?
For example a most basic question: what 3D engine is this going to run on?
Is that engine open source?
What are the formats for assets/models/materials?
What blockchain is hosting the NFT assets?
But it is pretty amazing to have so much money and focus being thrown behind VR/AR
There are a ton of problems that need to be solved in that space: graphics/geometry algorithms, image processing, hardware, interface/IO, neural stuff
I do that every day on HN
Can someone explain how one used to “explore the internet?”
Is it too many full or empty containers?
If full is the root cause a lack of truckers?
If empty then why aren't boats picking up the empty containers when they leave?
A webpage is discoverable
And it behaves more like a wiki than Google docs
Don't you prefer accurate history?
