I've been vegan for a couple of decades now and during that period I've had that time to observe meat eating people get all upset about veganism at various dinner parties during even though I don't advertise it or even talk about it.

What I've concluded is there's just NO WAY the world is going to do the right thing until the entire Amazon rainforest (and forests in general) have been converted to food production for food animals, dusty fattening lots for slaughter stretch to the horizon and all fresh water sources are drained.

So sensitive is the subject of what one consumes!

Maybe once climate disasters become more common and the price of meat becomes far too expensive for value menus will we start to change course. But I doubt it, we'll probably build meat factories in space before that.

In the meantime, those precious ag jobs are probably more threatened by automation than impossible burgers.

Yeah I adopted it after exploring other languages after learning to program in Turbo Pascal 5. Bit later I started using it for mail and news (Gnus) and other things.

It’s a life time tool that grows with you.

What's the reasons for that?

I’m not sure what that means exactly, but no one is using Rails only for building out micro services. They’re using Rails to go from nothing to a production ready web application, with all the incidental complexity taken care of, in a very short time.

It’s been a few years since I was involved with Clojure ecosystem - what is the Clojure experience equivalent to say, the original Rails demo from back in 2005? The last I tried, all the parts seemed to be there, but much painful assembly/“composing” was required and not all the parts fitted which ended up producing a lot of awkward complexity needing desperate decomplecting.

This might be what happens when the community seems to follow “composable libraries over frameworks”. You still have to do the composing, and it’s not obvious how to do that.

Should have put it into fundamental STEM education

I use an 8 foot, iron digging bar ahead of the post hole digger.

There’s also a pretty active Forth channel on Discord

Of course you don’t have to switch, since you can brew install bash 5 or whatever the latest is and then chsh to it, but if you want to use it as an opportunity to change shells, consider checking out some of the newer interactive shells like nushell, elvish, xonsh, oil etc. Some of them are even based on actual general purpose, fairly common programming languages.

There must be an interesting story behind Apache’s dogged insistence on OpenOffice.

What’s the difference between internal and external valuation?

Well, we take a distributed approach where I work currently. Some of it is in an Excel or a Google Calc spreadsheet, some in Confluence, the project README.md, random Git comments. Sometimes we annotate the classes in the code with documentation and sometimes even generate the documentation from that. It’s all a little confusing TBH. Some of our models are cross domain and have meaning depending on context.
