It's coming from a place of realism and facts. A place seemingly lost in the current zeitgeist.

> Quorn makes chik'n nuggets made of mycoprotein with similar nutrients to a chicken nugget,

Wrong again.

https://www.checkyourfood.com/ingredients/ingredient/1916/qu... https://www.checkyourfood.com/ingredients/ingredient/220/chi...

Half the protein, the nutrient profile is completely different (because it's mushroom and not chicken). No B12.

Where you getting your facts from man? It takes me actual time to refute your bullshit, the least you could do is provide evidence yourself.

Finally, Quorn is not rice is it, which is the original argument, so stop moving the goalposts and argue my original point if that's what you want to argue. If not, then you are contributing nothing of value and wasting everyone's time.

> I ate some chicken nuggets made out of rice

Do other people not see how ridiculous this is?

I partially agree with Italy's decision, at least to the naming of food.

You didn't eat chicken nuggets made out of rice. You ate deep-fried rice balls trying to simulate the taste of chicken nuggets, and they might have tasted similar to chicken nuggets, but that is an incredibly low bar to set in terms of taste (mostly spices) and texture (terrible).

The nutrient profile wouldn't have had nearly the amount of protein, vitamins or other nutrients an actual chicken nugget would have had, either.

Very cool! Hacker ethos (make a fake account to leverage sending photos), short and simple demo. Nice job

I wouldn't worry about it, we take cheap shots at French food and French people too ;)

> Now if you do inherit a larger project that you don't like, well, you either work on it or you switch jobs.

Which you wouldn't have to contemplate if your predescessor had simply used the right tool for the right job, right? Such as not using an over-engineered framework for a problem that didn't need to use one. :)

Cheers!

As you get more experienced in programming you'll inevitably inherit projects that you didn't have any say over, when that time comes come back to this comment, I'd be interested to hear if you still feel the same way.

> When you're writing a specific program, e.g. it's never going to be anything more than "Hello, world!", why would you use the fattest framework when you can write it in plain HTML?

Emphasised the parts I think you should re-read

Historically, Islamic philosophers (as they were then called) took works from the greek philosophers before them and expanded upon it. Then a few other philosphers who did not like people learning from non-muslims leaned hard into fundamentalism and you now have the kind of Islam (Salafist/Wahhabism) that exists today, e.g. Saudi Arabia

The Mongols opened the door to fundamentalism, but it didn't have to go that way. The sack of Baghdad is a simplification

Read up on Al Ghazali, it is eye-opening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ghazali

And yet they are routinely used to solve "simple hello world" apps. Riddle me that.

"You don't agree with me so I'll throw my toys out of the pram"

Come off it, debate is debate, you're trying to come to a conclusion, but for that to happen your mind needs to be open to the possibility that you are wrong, can you do that? If not, then yes, debating is not worth the effort.

Yes, it really is odd, I couldn't figure it out so switched back to zsh.

The specific issue was to do with a script we had to run to gain ssh access to an internal network. I can't post the script, but it was related to openssh.

Even logging into bash and running the script didn't work, I had to remove all fish binaries, symlinks, etc and set my shell to bash/zsh. Maybe it was an issue with how I installed fish, but yeah like I said, very strange, but I can vouch that I've encountered a similar issue before

It's a real shame because I think the fish syntax alone is worth the switch, for my personal machine(s) I use it.

Edit: this was years ago now, about 4 years, maybe the issue doesn't exist anymore but it caused me a bit of grief at the time (beacuse I didn't know it was related to using fish!), I've not since tried it again. I might try again and get back to this thread

Yeah I would have thought so too, but I have personally ran into this issue running fish-shell on my mac. There are some scripts I need to run that do not work even when I shebang the script to run in bash.

These responses are hard-coded by developers, we know this because it's the same stock response every time. It is personal because it's not the model, it's a wrapper around the model enforcing US-centric cultural censorship norms onto the rest of the world.

I understand the optics around why FB/OpenAI/etc do this, (as a sibling user posted), but make no mistake, it is no accident that it talks to you in a condescending way.

For example, why can't the response just be "I am not allowed to answer that request"? Why does it have to give you this condescending spiel about "offensiveness" or some other subjective reason?

> In 2022, around 16,000 Albanian citizens applied for asylum in the UK, making up 16% of all asylum applicants.

https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/commentaries...

What's that?

Let's be real, there is no reason for any country to be granting Albanian citizens asylum. There isn't a genocide going on, it's a (relatively) free country:

This is my experience with any linux distro I've used, I'd prefer a smaller, regularly updated repository instead of my (2023) distro being shipped with ancient versions of, e.g. node, python, openssl, etc...

I honestly find the "holier-than-thou" speech of anyone offensive, but when it's coming from a program I genuinely find it rage-inducing. I can't be the only one, facebook devs, what you guys playing at? You guys speak to each other like this in work? I doubt it!

Thanks, that actually makes a lot of sense. So I've been using them wrong, whoops! I guess I should get myself a little bin to compost stuff in

"I'm ok with having my freedoms restricted so you should too"

Sand is cheaper per kilo than used coffee grounds.

"Building-grade sand" is sharp sand. It is the cheapest sand you can buy. Roman's built things out of their concrete which was full of random bits of rubble, and some of these structures still stand today.

I keep my grounds but I've found whenever I use them on indoor plants it grows mould on it within a day of watering the soil. Outside plants / veg don't have this issue -- have you come across this before? I keep my used grounds in a conservatory, they're very dry when I use them, although I guess not dry enough...

The angle about "reducing waste" seems a bit moot. Sand is plenty and coffee is organic.

Interesting, I only ever see wild solitary bees in my (UK) garden.

> This particular green revolution is going to be privatized and inegalitarian.

It's never good enough for some people is it? :)

The buzzing would happen whether or not I look at my device. It only annoys you if I don't look at it?

I almost recommended this to a friend for his children.

I'm glad I explored all the pages.

Not really a fan of rug-pulling behaviour.

We are humans, the greatest species on the planet. Even before industrialisation we lived on almost every continent ranging from scorching deserts to blizzard-filled snowlands.

Humans are the greatest adaptors to a given environment, even if the climate catastrophising ends up being true, we will survive.

How to be really optimistic?

Get away from the news, social media. Spend more time on hobbbies, family and friends. Do something for your community.

These things will make you happier

Is it the same? There are gamification tactics I'm not a fan of (voting system), but I find the level of discourse on HN to generally be a much higher quality than say, twitter, facebook, instagram (e.g. what we mean when we say social network).

It's clearly not cheaper, is it! Energy prices are higher than they have ever been! What are yuo talking about? Do you know anyone that lives in poverty? I do, I help them financially. These people are struggling, and NetZero is not helpful.

Wind is not cheap. We can do better than this

Edit: Seriously, I'm willing to be convinced but I am at a loss whenever I see people deny that increased inflation hurts people with less money than it does people like you. If you need me to explain how it works (that as a % of your income, poorer people will pay FAR MORE in energy, housing, food, and other inflation-related costs, which, you know, is in part fueled by chasing NetZero) I'll happily sacrifice my time to help you understand.

These things can happen suddenly and without warning. When I was 18 I was in a nightclub, my mate shouted a bit too loud into my ear (because the music was loud) and permanently damaged my hearing in my right ear, it hurts to hear certain frequencies in that ear now, and sounds like water stuck in there when it happens.

I'm sorry to hear you have it (or something worse) in both

Take care of your ears, folks.

The addition of China data would make the legend useless, but it still goes to show out sized some things are, while the UK continues to chase Net Zero at the expense of its citizen's wealth, other countries (India, China, the US) prioritise their economy.

Heading towards a clean energy future is great, but it's costing our poorer citizens unequally more than our wealthier ones. See: ULEZ.
