Probably in contrast to the embedded hardware development the OP does...

They did this themselves. Fauci, CDC and WHO constantly have gone back and forth between each other and themselves.

I like the meta joke

132k is not that much for a US salary. And besides, I'd rather see the engineers of such an important project be well paid.

You can even perceive it from the vernacular of how you refer to "crunch" - it has a feeling of something often talked about, a term used in the industry.

If you're into other sources of caffeine, matcha can almost be described as instant green tea.

Speaking just on the design of the article, Firefox Reader mode is very useful here

Do you think that accounting is always correct, accurate and not rigged?

Feel good virtue signaling

Thank you, somebody with some sense

That would be horrible! Data collection and sharing should be off by default, and I never want to see a "Premium Internet" experience.

This article restricts its focus to borders, but I wonder if the author is also extending that to include internal lockdowns, for which there is a great amount of evidence that they're unproductive and destructive - see r/LockdownSkepticism for further reading.

Perhaps you meant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ ?

I'm having trouble understanding how 100 miles from the border covers 90% of the US population?

Edit: I see - I was thinking only in terms of e.g. the Arizona southern border, however looking up the Constitution Free Zone shows that it means the entire US - California, all states connected to Cananda etc.

Eidt 2: Would this mean ALL of Hawaii is in this Constitution Free Zone?

I think he does and I think he's found a way to make money in crypto, even though he previously stated he thinks it will end badly

Certainly not all of them. Edit - do you not consider Warren Buffet a conservative investor?

I like your version of Foo and Bar - Fribblers and Borgles

I think that they're pretty directly related, though maybe that's because I associate the smell with the resultant feeling of being caffeinated. However, I do recall smelling coffee brewing that both did not smell good and then did not taste good either.

> Keep in mind (I think) that it's increasingly difficult to pull off a full career of any kind of programming.

Can you expound on that?

I'm tired of this laziness. I don't care about vegan cheese - I am vegan because it's better for me, the planet, and animals. Boohoo if I can't find some cheese that tastes exactly like cultured milk from a suffering animal.

Looks like you may be shadow banned - I vouched for this comment and see all your recent previous comments are dead

Pineapples get successively smaller each harvest. But commercial growers don't sell them so you're used to only seeing one size if you don't live in a country that grows them. I have harvested pineapples as small as an apple.

> We can make monocrop farming more efficient and environmentally friendly (eliminate pesticides)

More efficient and environmentally friendly are contradictory in terms of monocrop

> Fanatical monocropists don't exist.

Uh what? What about the almost 100 million acres of corn in the US?

> Yeah, this robot is an example of tech being utilized to extract value. The ML, CV, and robotic tech tickles my inner geek, but tech was not designed or deployed in a regenerative way. There are many things we can do to have more resilient, restorative, regenerative agriculture ... that often don't involve much high tech at all.

I have this struggle often. Before software engineering, I was working on permaculture farms and apprenticed as a natural builder (cob mostly).

That was my thought as well. Thanks for sharing the interesting article

Thank you, I was looking for something like this!

> I find myself missing lousy office coffee

What do you miss about it? It sounds very contradictory :)

Tell him about coc.vim - it uses the same language server plugins that VS Code uses so jump to definition, hover etc are all possible. Coc.vim is really popular and becoming quite robust and easy to set up. There's no need for VS Code with it.

I use it and develop in Typescript, TSX, etc. I've never found it lacking when compared to VS Code

From a Hindu perspective, consciousness begins associating with the body at the moment of conception. Though it does not fully inhabit it yet.
