Renaming attributes propogates through these types. It makes refactoring better.

What does it mean? I fully expected to explain the semantics and yet I still don't know what that triangle squared means. Oh well.

Look up mutagenic breeding, the idea breeders are taking a more natural approach is nuts.

I do agree we should invest more heavily in tech like bug resistance to reduce necessary pesticides.

GMOs are the somewhat intentional introduction of genes from another organism while breeding approaches often involve radiation to expedite random mutations which may have less obvious changes that are not safe.

Isn't that profit for shareholders taxed as cap gains?

Edit: I mean, if I own a share I pay taxes when I sell it and make money

I like serverless because it scales to zero easily by default which keeps costs down for super low use personal apps.

That seems illegal in some places if true. The premise is that it proves we are not robots, and that's all.

Thanks for the good information! I hadn't read up on Qualified Immunity.

It always seems hopeless though when my prejudiced neighbors think the protestors are wrong and should be shot. These prejudiced people can be police, lawyers, and judges. Even outside the justice system they clearly perpetuate systemic issues.

So what can anyone actually do to fix this? Protesting has no lasting effect, and contacting my senator/politicians is a joke since I'm in the political minority.

The writer does not mention eliminating complex grammar, and uses pronouns a lot. I find using pronouns greatly dilutes meaning and efficiency for non-native English speakers and requires more attentive reading even for native English speakers. The writer is not using simple direct language in my opinion, and being both simple and direct are critical for useful writing.

This is something JavaScript does better than Rust. I like the JS community because it's way more sympathetic on average. They have lots of code quality issues to solve in some of the hardest ways... But people are working on that, and I think they will succeed eventually, if they haven't already fixed much with npm audit.

The new cloud based ARM cpus are new, and that's a reasonable motivator

Just use Cloudflare WARP since it's finally out. You're never really anymous unless it's a lifestyle anyways.
