I think it’s worth pointing out that your impression of Mead might be shaped by a strong critic who worked hard to invalidate her work and erase her legacy. This section of her Wikipedia article sums it up pretty well. Essentially, more recent reviews of the research bears out Mead’s conclusions.

Another interesting tangent about Mead was her almost foray into LSD research which I learned about from this submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39328747

a little late now, but I wonder if https://github.com/DataBiosphere/toil might meet your requirements

The history and chemistry of rubber explained in a series of fun, interesting articles

Maybe I'm misunderstanding here, but it sounds like he's claiming they invented "interfaces". The Go interfaces seem like the same thing as a Haskell typeclass which predates them by a long shot. Either way a great invention that should be in more languages.

I feel like you might be miss the point of the parent comment. Synchronizing between databases is a notoriously difficult problem. It's really hard to do while avoiding race conditions. To be fair, I don't understand the "git rebase" technique your project uses, but I'm doubtful it solves these problems.

The underlying issue is that users of SQLsync are going to assume that consistency works, but in suble and unsuspecting ways it won't.

As far as I can tell, the only solutions that handle distributed consistency are those that use CRDTs.

in the video on the Kickstarter she show how you can hang pants

Also using light mode instead of dark mode helps with visibility on a dim screen

No comment on this actual product, but I found that turning the brightness as low as I can tolerate on my monitor significantly reduced my eye strain and discomfort. It takes a little getting used to, but I highly recommend giving it a try.

Personally I thought the article was informative and interesting, but I'm still curious; can you share some of these videos you're talking about?

Crazy to think about! Minor correction: 5 million reproduced, presumably more lived but died young, etc. but you point still stands

Maybe, but it's not obvious to me what the "another prefix" should be.

HA?

I learned about the plight of Sicilian immigrants in New Orleans at that time from Annie Proulx's historical fiction book "Accordion Crimes". She was inspired in a large part by a lynching of Italian immigrants which was depicted in the book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1891_New_Orleans_lynchings

>It does suck it is free-free, because it doesn't teach the foster kid important life lessons, but there is more merit to this.

What about the many countries with free university for everyone? Are those students missing out on important life lessons as well?

do you have a pic of the result?

Obviously this doesn't apply when speaking on the scale of millions of years, but I remember reading that there may not be enough easily accessible energy sources (ie fossil fuels) left to jump start another industrial civilization if our current one where to collapse.

What does IC mean? Doesn't seem to be very googleable

Now I'm getting a different hash consistently, but not the correct hash:

    shasum -a 256 djngo.com

071bca4e67bf52dabcd6ec9766189c98ae536c103247549f6801d55dbc0a53ee djngo.com

Does the sha256sum command return a different value? It doesn't seem to be installed on my Mac by default.

I don't anyone believes that calling it Django Unchained would condone slavery.

They're just saying they don't want to have to think about slavery when choosing software which seems not unreasonable to me.

I'm getting the wrong hash when I download the file (I tried a couple times).

I'm running

    curl -O https://djngo.com/djngo.com
    shasum -a 256 djngo.com

and I get

    6133a4f5c76af6ca6a2b2eba115783a78fc1721cd384539076884f640b801a26  djngo.com

I'm on a M1 Mac. Am I missing something obvious?

I tried running it anyway (smart I know) and it failed with

    zsh: exec format error: ./djngo.com

A great solution is a land value tax as per Henry George https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax

I was looking for their implementation of T9, but haven't found it yet. Would that be in here? Does anyone with more context or Google-foo know where it is?

Toil is pure Python, but I'm not sure how the feature set compares https://github.com/DataBiosphere/toil

Virtually all "vegetable oil" you see in stores in the US is soybean oil.

This sounds like how I prefer to code: slow, exploring, learning, etc. Hopefully that fits someone's business requirements.

Surely the ancient world was more common, with bandits, etc, but do you have any justification that murder was a 'personal thing'? I imagine most communities had was to prevent / punish this.

More about language, apparently, not all languages have that "ideas within ideas within ideas" property you were talking about. The Pirahã language of an indigenous people in Brazil is the counter example. This New Yorker article talks about it and the fascinating effects it had on the field of linguistics. Before its discovery most linguists, Led by Chomsky, believed having recursion in our grammars set humans apart from all other animals. Pirahã showed this might not be the case.

Anti-depressants aren't like a "happy pill". It's not like soma from a Brave New World.
