Maybe lead with the question instead of the feigned insult?

Ethical treatment of hens doesn't exist in the egg industry.

Let's point out the absurdity that saying "all information must be accessible" is synonymous with "all information must be disclosed". These are not congruent statements.

If it has nothing to do with children, then why is it named the KIDS Act? Are we being bamboozled? And you are IN SUPPORT OF that? Am I taking crazy pills?

You could make any flag out of non-vegan materials, sure. But that this flag was designed with the basis of cruelty (silk) makes it also conceptually non-vegan.

What a great way to unite the world in a practice of cruelty to its inhabitants

- 1worldforhumansonlyflag - 1worldindifferenttosufferingflag

The whole idea falls flat on its face because of this for me.

Again, you are truly blessed. I've lived in multiple places (California) where the rent increases by the maximum allowed amount every year ($100-$200). None of your friends refer to their houses as "units", do they? You can't compare your situation with theirs lol

Walking into a hotel lobby to get a map printed seems like a much greater surveillance risk than looking up directions on my phone. The cameras, the printer, the hotel staff, the other hotel guests; they’re all third party to your private information. Is that really any better than Apple or Google telemetry?

One important note I didn’t see here:

- For league play, the scoring hands change every year!

I don’t see how. Have you ever tried calling one of these lines in a suicide emergency? Things I’ve learned in California:

- an ambulance will not be dispatched unless you physically witness someone trying to kill themselves

- otherwise, they send the police

- the police arrive without training and severely escalate the situation

- the person having an emergency will be taken into custody and stripped of rights until being medically evaluated (not arrested)

This is the program of an allegedly progressive state. After 2 experiences like this, adding trauma to already traumatic situations, I would never recommend these hotlines.

Mame Sama - A free Android/iOS app for finding vegan resources (primarily within, but not limited to, Japan). Essentially it's Instagram with a location requirement. While not-yet-open-source, that is the plan. I wanted to build something without any intention to monetize it, while relying on the community to contribute to its success and maintenance.

Backend is zig, frontend is in Flutter. First foray into zig and I'm really enjoying it.

Not only drug costs. I’m being charged 1300$ for an STD test because my insurance company and my doctor can’t agree on a “code”.

It’s totally fucked.

The claim is anecdotal and thus insufficient for statistical analysis, as expressed by the previous response. What did they miss exactly?

I really appreciated this little topography lesson; ty friend

I've noticed something else particular to my native tongue. It lacks emotion. I just don't really know how to express myself in English. I can speak very technically and logically, but I'm stumped when it comes to matters of the heart.

My Japanese, on the other hand, isn't fluent, but I'm able to tap into way more emotion. It feels as if I'm singing when I nail a great sentence in nihongo. It really lands with the listener and I feel emotionally connected in that moment.

Could this be related to the increased brain activity required for foreign language?

I use maybe functions a lot for things like "maybeShowReminderDialog". The conditions for displaying the reminder are wrapped in this maybe function.

Surely that's simpler than specifying those conditions before every call to show this dialog, resulting in plenty of duplicated code. And if those conditions change, there is only one place I need to update it.

Of course I can make a single operation to check those conditions like "shouldShowReminder", but that too is doubling the surface area of this code.

I see the merit of the argument here but disagree with the absolutist stance against "maybe" functions.

Can you list some of those shops? I'm hard pressed to find one that isn't selling items that were drop-shipped to them from Aliexpress/baba and then marked up. It may not be direct from the manufacturer, but going from N-middlemen to 1-middleman is about the best you can do right now.

Anna wasn’t a birder though. She was royalty given tribute by Rene Lesson. Anne d'Essling‘s only connection to ornithology is through marriage. So why does she get a bird?

This is the only example referenced of which I know its origins. However it illustrates an issue with names that have no connection to the science of birds. The naming as tribute was surely transactional in some way (to curry favor perhaps) and really should be replaced.

And yet, the clinical standard has been to use the "with" terminology for a long time now. For exactly the general reason that you present, just with your grammatical paradigm inverted.

If that's the clinical standard, why didn't the cited paper use it that way? From the research paper:

autistic individuals

autistic employees

autistic participants

The peer reviewed research paper uses this standard. Only using "with" in reference to diagnoses.

It is "Science Daily", a news site, who skirts the standard by changing the paper's wording.

Your community may not be the problem. There are other communities (such as Autism Speaks) which do view it as a disease. And the popularity of this viewpoint is evident by the number of jigsaw puzzle piece bumper stickers around.

That’s a totally false comparison. Brown hair is something you physically have.

“With autism”

A large portion of the autistic community is very against this phrasing. Autism is not a disease you carry, or something you “have”.

It should be used as an adjective to describe a person:

“Autistic people less likely to succumb to bystander effect”

Edit: If you follow through to the actual paper referenced you can see they use the correct phrasing.

"risk of firearms being diverted to entities or activities that promote regional instability, violate human rights, or fuel criminal activities."

The hypocrisy of the United States government saying this...

Very cool! As a novice painter who can’t mix colors to save their life, I’m very excited about trying this out next time I’m in front of the canvas.

10 years ago that was fairly accurate, and I've been using that conversion ever since visiting around that time. Surprising to see the conversion rate move so much.

Exact same boat. I found this behavior to be really user hostile as a default. Recently switched to Orion (browser from Kagi), and they’ve got a much more agreeable flow for this.

When a link in Orion takes you into another app, there is a popup available when you return to Orion, allowing you to disable opening in the external app. Additionally, long-pressing always provides an “Open in…” option to purposefully choose the GitHub app.

This is pure privilege to be able to open an account so quickly. Not everyone is so well off.

A diagnosis is just a label someone else gives you. If you trust modern psychology, maybe it’s a useful label. In my context, however, it’s just as relevant as lone wolf.

My point being anything you label yourself or others is purely a function of your ego. The whole framework you describe above exists purely in your own mind. If I met you, I may walk away with a completely different idea about you, a function of my own ego.

If a diagnosis helps you, that’s fantastic. Making it part of your identity is a trap that will narrow your perspective of the universe.

I had this really nice bike once. Bought it in Japan, shipped it home — it really meant a lot to me.

It was chained to the back of our camper, as we toured the country living on the road. My now deceased dog and I put a lot of miles on that bike across the USA, him running alongside bursting with joy.

It was 2017, and we were camped in Santa Paula. Dec. 4th the Thomas Fire exploded as the largest wildfire in California. We had to evacuate for over a month. They let us into the area after 2-weeks to get some belongings.

Bike thieves had come through and stolen everyone’s bikes. Someone took advantage of a catastrophe to steal one of my most precious belongings…

I have zero sympathy for bike thieves. One of the lowest things you can do is steal someone’s bike.

(Edit: profanity removed after calming down)

That’s a fair assesment of Swing; Java really held it back.

It’s definitely not easy to nail the target platform, and that may be Flutter’s downfall. Even without those native-lookalikes, Flutter still has a very robust rendering engine, and easy to write ffi for native binaries. It can survive on its own.

I can tell you’re just hating because Swing was awesome, and the de-facto standard for university HCI in my day (a day when HCI was the term for UX).

What’s an app *supposed* to look like?
