I just discovered swish and it makes window management such a joy that it is unbelievable: https://highlyopinionated.co/swish/

It is beyond me how this snail pace of changing the economy to be more sustainable can be interpreted as break neck speed. What was break neck speed was maybe the corona response, which was a good thing and could be happening on climate front more…

Besides this being an extremely utilitarian way to view of humans that obfuscates inherent value of human beings, it is a general problem with wage labour under capitalism, where only capital earns proportional to its “value”.

I think we should focus our energy more on the question how we can provide everyone according to their needs than how utilizable they are, if we want to live in a more healthy and thriving society than we currently do! At the end there is really no need to give some people 10 times more just because they are productive in a certain way. And this calculation already fails as soon as we add more dimension to it, e.g. someone might not be producing 10 times more productive code but maybe they do offer a lot of social skills that make everyone in the team have a better time during work hours.

This exists on linux (PopOS). I think it’s called compose key under GNOME settings.

So that they will turn into a mega company with nothing but PR, capital and marketing? I think the fact that they are so focused on medicine and science should rather be the norm in medicine.

The fact that Pfizer can spin this story on their name is disturbing and dangeruous behaviour that should not be the norm.

> Customers buying multiple flavours of a product with the same price but different UPCs, which the cashier rings up by scanning the first product then hitting "times 10"

I worked at retail (Uniqlo to be specific) and it was definetely a rule to not do this. They wanted us to scan everything one by one even if they were the same color and size. This allowed for a pretty accurate information on stock, e.g. we could see how many of a given sweater in given size and color is still in storage etc.

Probably this is too tedius for some retail (groceries with very small unit price) but very smart rule in general.

the parent was probably talking about NumPy/SciPy/Tensorflow/PyTorch, which I would also label as flagship libraries...

Society can change such laws only when there is an open discussion that is exactly doing that, not-respecting the laws and rights in contracts.

Yeah, lets not have them have the same luxuries as us so that they do not repeat our mistakes. \s

A lot especially how the police went around to make those allegations. I recommend reading: https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikilea...

Yes, the same guy thinks sleep is a competitor of Netflix. So no, I do not think he has the best interest of other humans.

edit for possible misunderstanding that I'm critisizing the OP

I am not a native English speaker, but queer is repurposed by the LGBT community to include everyone, under a single name [1]. It can even include heterosexuality [2]. I definitely do not read it in any derogatory way, and would identify myself as queer.

Well you can’t assume a fair playing field between USA and any other country, let alone a developing one. They needed protectionist measures to be able to industrialize as well as they did.

Page loading speed is not the only concern the users have.

Can someone please share a source on how it is more of a spyware than facebook, instagram, etc.

Edit: grammar

True, but if we continue on our current trajectory (climate change, social inequality), we won’t make it to that future. While I understand, we have enough curious people to invest many long-term possibilities and theories, I do think we should focus more on current pressing concerns when we decide on such a costly project. I can’t help but think of the possibilities of building renewable energy, sanitization for the parts of the world that has been historically and systematically left behind.

As the looks of it, US is pretty non-free when it comes to peacefully protesting. So I guess this feature is very timely and directed towards users there ;)

There are people committing suicide, being harassed and not being accepted as they are so using wrong gender is pretty fucked up thing to do especially because it is so easy to do right.

You can’t refuse to use someone’s preferred pronoun just because you want to. If someone wants to be called he, using them is insulting and demeaning. You would be literally not accepting how he is. Obviously this is not the case in generic writing. But I don’t think that is how 2 people want to communicate.

I recommend the chunkwm for tiling windows on macOS! It is super-fast and configurable.

Yes, living in Berlin I feel spoiled. When I was in South Korea, most of the time there was nothing vegetarian on the menu, in Berlin you have multiple vegan options and even more vegetarian options.

I believe restaurant options are very important since people learn from those and mimic them at home. We need restaurants to offer more vegetarian and vegan dishes for people to see that they can have a rich (IMHO richer) diet without meat.

I don’t know how to nudge the restaurants though. Lower tax on organic/sustainable food can be one thing, or even better subventions for such restaurants and produce. But most importantly the meat and dairy industry needs to get under real supervision. Governments all around the world have been looking away for far too long.

We can’t conclude that this is the only way, especially with advanced automation or subsidies for ecological and sustainable agriculture. Furthermore animal farming must be the least efficient way to provide calories. So I don’t understand how you can talk down solid alternatives like tempeh or tofu.

(BTW in the link i posted above it says human products take up 6% of soybean production.)

The fact that we have so much monoculture soybean fields is that they make up the feed for the animals in Factory farming.

Here is one link I just found that point out to the fact ‚70-75% of the world’s soy ends up as feed for chickens, pigs, cows, and farmed fish.‘: https://www.ucsusa.org/global-warming/stop-deforestation/dri...

I recommend you try it. Even if it’s just for the comfort and ergonomics. You can try the ratatype. It’s a free online course that teaches to type without moving your hands.

I have recently watched an analyse of the film, which really made me appreciate it much more and made me want to watch it again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-URy_Smyyk

The way we have been increasing life expectancy is incremental improvements to treatments of diseases. Trying to fix symptoms of aging one by one ends up expensive: We find better treatment which not only extends life span but paves the way for diseases that are harder/more expensive to treat.

The research I am excited about is to fight the aging process itself, which is the root cause of many costly/rough health problems old people have to live through. So if we find a novel way to extend life span and maybe in turn put a limit to the biological age, it would bring down the costs due to less cancer, dementia, etc.

So I’m really excited about the research in life extension. Although even if it works, it won't be easy to apply it 'correctly'.

Your response simplifies a pretty specialized occupation. Translating a paragraph is not simple math. Most of the time ‘understanding’ natural language is AI complete. Translation is not just looking up words but also considering culture and history. So maybe don’t be so sure that with the correct ‘magical’ technique we can achieve human level translation...
