Isn't reproduction the point? The roots exist to obtain water, nutrients, minerals; leaves gather energy from the sun; this is used to grow fruit, or whatever is used for reproduction

Just keep reading TFA

it was discovered by Jia Zhou et. al. in 2011, and it’s far more efficient than our naïve method. (You generate a five character string where one character is a dash – YouTube will autocomplete those URLs and spit out a matching video if one exists.)

Forbidden? Some people don't like it, bit its certainly not forbidden. This gross hyperbole doesn't help the situation, I think it makes the topic all the more polarized. People who are overweight or obese to the point of being unhealthy are of course going to be defensive about it, and sure part of the current culture may be growing to support them in this with the growing number or overweight or obese people, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about it, just that we need to consider this defensiveness in our approach.

This was not my experience at all. School libraries provided a wide variety of content, books spanning many genres, time periods, etc. I read a little bit of everything and am grateful to have been able to experience that, instead of being constrained to whatever some adults may have thought would have been "good for me".

It's true that I had access to public libraries with this same variety, so what happens when those are the next target? I couldn't afford to buy books on Amazon. Would I just have been forced to read e.g whatever religious or political media that's been approved for my consumption?

There's gotta be somebody you can pay to help you develop social skills. Kind of like etiquette schools or something, maybe with opportunities to practice. It's like a personal trainer of sorts. I'd charge, what, maybe $60/hr to take somebody with me to the dog park and help them engage in conversation, give them feedback and ideas, etc.

Postgres WASM 4 years ago

Stephen Grider made a cool website[0] that allows people to make and use databases using PostgreSQL statements for his udemy course[1] about SQL. It's great for learning and testing and has been around a while so I feel like he should get some attention/credit too

I think they're not as well-known, and there's increasing amounts of competition. I wish some restaurants would pick them up as chicken substitutes like they've done for Beyond and Impossible. The KFC Beyond chicken sucks

This is excellent and I greatly appreciate the write-up as it encourages and helps others see how they might accomplish the same in their own cities or districts. I'm literally listening to gas leaf blowers outside my apartment right now while I work from home; it's something I've never quite gotten used to, and this article is great motivation for trying to bring about change and improvement

Writers put significant amounts of work into these articles. They post them onto a website that requires funds to host and maintain and run. And you're calling it garbage because they ask for come compensation for this work that many people enjoy or find interesting? People don't consume food for free, why should they consume entertainment for free? If you don't want to pay, fine, but that doesn't mean the food is garbage, or this website either

For option A, how do you put the requirements in the repo? Another user mentioned the possibility of having a "req" folder at the same level of e.g. "src" and "test". Maybe the file structure would match that of the other directories? And what do you use - excel files, word docs, .md files, something else?

Many types of fashions or styles have appeared dorky at some point in time and cool at another point. Maybe you can be part of the group that helps transition these bikes from dorky to cool!

Personally, I have a folding bike with small-ish wheels; yeah, it looks quirky, but it works well and fits in my closet, trunk, etc. so I don't care. I'd maybe buy the kwiggle too if I could afford it

Some of these are habits I do even as a Christian-turned-atheist. I've read that gratitude is good for you, and I always want to be a better person, and prayer has been a good way of thinking about these things habitually, even if I'm not praying towards anyone/anything in particular.

The author mentions this as the biggest drawback, understandably so - if getting a job depends on knowledge and confidence, which it usually does, you really need to be careful with how you come off

I don't understand why they're not fining the developers/manufacturers/sellers of products that harm the insects. Isn't it easiest to stop this at the source? How likely is it that individual farmers will make their own? I guess there's such thing as moonshine but I don't know how similar this case is...

Regardless, this seems like another instance of putting the responsibility on consumers/individuals, and not on companies that introduce these products with no regard to the potential downstream side effects. Guess it maybe ties into to "regulation" and "individual rights", like how instead of regulating fast food companies, it's been decided that it's the consumer's choice whether to eat fast food. I'm getting off on tangents that maybe aren't related, and I'd be interested to hear other perspectives.
