Just as a discussion point: how do you think these effects would translate (if at all) to regularly practicing hot yoga, say around 100-105F? Intuitively, it would combine the effort + recovery, but probably not enough time elapsed in the same session for the sweat benefit during muscle repair?

I can’t quite read this without feeling there some significant over-generalizations and assumptions being made. My experience with people of various races, cultures, and backgrounds has not exhibited any unilateral caste system mentality. I’ve spent plenty of time in academia and, while it certainly has issues, has not been quite so dystopian.

In the end, if we’re just comparing anecdata, this isn’t going to be productive.

Is your example here a bit oblique to the point? I see this more of a failing of the people to properly appreciate and discuss/process the contents of the book, and as well as, in my opinion, socially overcompensating for the diversity in the room?

I definitely see your point around a lot of people trying to be so inclusive, they end up being somewhat racist. But I see this more of a lack of proper cultural empathy/education -- go figure, Dunning-Kruger is everywhere all the time. But as you said,

> This law is about what books are in public libraries.

So why would we ban the books, rather than encourage reading them and having the more meaningful discussions focusing on heritage rather than identity?

As a slightly more abstract aside, identity anything to me is a slippery slope because it will always automatically encourage one to make assumptions; it's a mental shortcut to say Person A == Person B iff PersonA.identity == PersonB.identity. Given that education is hard, learning is hard, and life is hard, I think we need to at least emphathize and appreciate that teachers and the the education system in general need to often fall back on these sorts of mental shortcuts. But that's we need to really invoke our right, privilege, and duty of grassroots participation. Why not walk into that book club that's overcompensating and help them learn what is making you uncomfortable? You might be surprised at how ignorant they were of their own mistakes and that they're willing to learn from your perspective.

Got it, this is very interesting and informative. I look forward to learning more about Ditto as I experiment for my migrations away from Realm.

Thanks for the reply! Will definitely be looking into Ditto as a migration option. What would you say the main benefits are of going schema-less? In this context does it more mean that the client is responsible for serializing/de-serializing into the correct data structures? I'm browsing the docs already but any extra information would be helpful, particularly around handling evolving data needs, import/export, client sync, etc.

Brutal :') As Firebase is a Google product it's pretty far down my list in terms of reliable alternatives. But I may check it out as well after I see how a migration to Ditto looks.

Anybody else here using this actively? What are your migration plans?
