uuluon Scientists successfully breed corals to improve their heat tolerance

> Scientists "performing miracles" is humanity caring for the planet.

Scientists "performing miracles" is one of the ways humanity is caring for the planet.

uuluon The appendix is not, in fact, useless

> Pathologist ... returns 0 when the microenvironment variables ...

Wow, and also informative and funny. This is HN in its full glory!

Sorry for the off-topic.

Yes, you are right, this apparatus is invented. ... and banning it will "push a greater strain on the electric grid" (to use GP words) with the current level of adoption. :-) Really?

uuluon Plastic bag bans work

> ... going full electric leads to a non-redundancy in heating and cooling which pushes a greater strain on the electric grid ...

What else than electricity if used for cooling? Genuine question.

uuluon Making It Legal to Play Outside: “Reasonable Childhood Independence” Bills

> crosswalks go across 8 lanes of 60+mph traffic

Do such crosswalks really exist? Seriously. AFAIK, 60+mph speed is allowed usually (if not exclusively) on Controlled-access highways where pedestrians are not allowed at all. I highly doubt such crosswalks exist at all.

uuluon Canadians consider certain religions damaging to society: survey

Hmm ... isn't God a value, not a variable?

You know what "native american" means in (American) English, don't you?

uuluon Watermelons

What does it mean: "to eat something as vegetable"?

uuluon A New AWS SDK for Rust

> As good as rusoto is, an official SDK is a huge step forward.

Yes. It might not be "a huge step forward" in tech terms, but it would be definitely very positive for wider adoption, especially from "enterprises" where all is based on "standards".

uuluon Let's remove quaternions from every 3D engine (2018)

I got me intrigued. Thanks! Could you point to a source that explains geometric algebra from this angle? Book, article, web source, anything?

uuluon Novelty and Heresy

> But the Vatican at the time was seriously considering a number of models including some heliocentric models.

Could you point to publicly available source for this?

uuluon The Efficiency-Destroying Magic of Tidying Up

Strange, how did you come to the conclusion that this is a defense of "crap code"? For one thing - crappy code is most often less efficient than elegant code.
