Don't stop there: fungi and beetles are some other stressors that could be modeled alongside caterpillars using similar techniques. Like lepidopterans, they are very host-specific, though they have somewhat different transmission vectors, so you could see the defoliation (or other foliage impacts like leaf curling and yellowing) spread / not spread depending on factors such as proximity, moisture, wind and the parasite's lifecycle.

In my cheesy work-friends jam band, I (the drummer) tried using a click track when we'd record just the drums, and it never went well. I would invariably get frustrated that I wasn't keeping up with it and we'd end up with jagged skippy parts where I was trying to get back on track. I'm sure it was just an experience thing, but ultimately I ended up just recording my part first (sans click track), and the other members just used in-ear monitors of my part while they were recording theirs, and it worked out just fine

That seems dubious, trophically. Whatever the prolific bristlemouth species eats would then likely be the greater biomass species

Someone asked me on reddit a few days ago for recommendations on places to eat in the town I live in, said they were going to be traveling here soon and wanted some ideas. So I took 30min out of my day to give some good thoughtful suggestions, clicked submit, and _then_ decided to go check out their post/comment history. It was all perfect grammar and oddly short and specific statements.

Now I'm just annoyed and slightly embarrassed

To nit 1: "totally unrelated" could reasonably mean "not in the same genus", but even relaxing that to "not in the same family" holds true for the word "cedars". The author's point about "common names" seems pretty salient

To nit 2: I fail to see what you're actually nitpicking here... How evolutionary related things are and how they evolved _are_ pretty well illustrated by taxonomic ranking. Some organisms (in a stable ecology) don't change much over time and some things do, and taxonomy gives us a good way to discuss that.

I had the same thought, but then I realized that everyone on my team actually _does_ have experience with JavaScript async, so I just rolled with it. Not sure what that's about

Could really use a post-mortem to set the story straight. The apparently-hallucinated support response copied-pasted by the submitter showing up in the github issue thread is very misleading without scrutiny

That assumption feeds into the moral of the post and its followup

Specifically this type of modifier is called a "noun adjunct"

Really great book (and series). Though it's not "hard sci-fi" by any means, the technology feels real enough to keep my brain from focusing on the holes and enjoy the fun philosophical and ethical problems that Scalzi comes up with

The other side to the localizers is the communication / mesh networking, and the extremely effective security partitioning. Even Anne couldn't crack them! It's certainly a lot to package in such a small form

Well, Deepness is set a few thousand years in the future, so we've got some time to work on it.
