This is a little outside my bubble - what specifically are you worried about?

I have a couple acquaintances that are trans and they seem like normal happy people that aren't overtly oppressed. I'm under the impression that the state of trans rights is more or less equivalent to black rights, is that not the case?

Yeah, you could do that with a hobby garden, let alone a real farm.

If you want a real 'farmers box', look into Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). I've never seen those programs not be local seasonally-appropriate food. The change in produce over the year is part if the fun.

I've come around to that conclusion on other verboten words, if other people don't like them it's not a big deal for me to stop using them. And I suppose it's less typing to push to main than it is to push to master.

It's funny, and common, to hear new-learners complain that git's too complex. It's so much better than all the alternatives, and 99% of the time it's incredibly simple to interact with.

Definitely feels a little weird to be the one saying 'back in my day, we had to walk 2 miles up hill, both ways, to commit our code. and lord help you if you needed to submit a patch.'

Do any modern cars have OBD readers integrated into the infotainment system?

It seems like a no brainer to show the error code w/ a description. Though that might decrease the number of dealer visits compared to a non-descriptive check engine light.

If the display appears at infinite focal depth it might be better for eyes than traditional screens that require focusing on something close.

I love being a C developer. I'll still be using it when I retire, though hopefully mixed with Rust instead of C++.

People often lament the cost of the aircraft in situations like this.

The pilot is also super expensive. Maybe moreso than the plane.

You don't have to sign into browsers. You don't even need an apple ID, I use a local account on my macbook.

It's not the happy path though. We need a tech a company that prioritizes local-first designs.

Part of the problem is the nuance. There's only a few forms of sugar - sucrose, fructose, lactose. There's a lot of forms of fat - different combos of length of the chain (omega #), amount of saturation, hydrogenation, triglycerides.

I could eat a diet with no sugar and be healthy. I don't think that's true for fat.

There's a conspiracy theory that some types of phenomena are lost in the Heaviside formulation of Maxwell's equations, but describable with the original form that used quaternions. e.g. 'scalar waves' that are used for wireless power transmission and death rays.

Is anyone able to make an informed comment on that? I can barely handle the Heaviside formulation, the original quaternions are was over my head.

If I had a network, I wouldn't need a dating app.
