the ruby code: ``` cat = Cat.new cat.meow ```

As a non-Ruby user, this confuses me. Why can't `Cat.new` be a function reference? Does Ruby explicitly disallow this (i.e. passing around a function)?

To my dismay, a lot of projects with anti-AI sentiment are accepting security patches found with AI. Take a look at `ffmpeg` for example.

The hypocrisy is puzzling.

You know why. I know why.

The people who care about this disproportionately collect distasteful media and would be in criminal proceedings if their material was uncovered.

He comments on this in the Hackernews post text:

Effect-TS is the full-featured option in this space and has a large ecosystem. Pure Effect offers a different tradeoff. It covers the 80% case: testable pipelines, dependency injection, retry, and OpenTelemetry hooks, all in under 1 KB with zero dependencies and no new vocabulary to learn. Effect-TS is a framework you build around. Pure Effect, on the other hand, is a pattern you drop into existing code.

Unfortunately, sun exposure (specifically UV exposure) is heavily tied to skin cancers and aging. I haven't researched it myself, but my feeling is that, ultimately, there is a calculation where sun exposure / skin risk needs be balanced on your specific genetic makeup.

We really need to drill down into ethnic and racial boundaries to really make sense of how much sun exposure helps us.

Will It Mythos? 29 days ago

I'm convinced if Mythos/Fable comes back at this point, it will be guardrailed into lobotomy.

It won't be as good.

To me, social web == social media.

I don't use Facebook but use it for auth when I have no other option.

Even worse, I don't want an external service federating my identity when I can avoid it. We have all heard of people getting locked out in cases where Google decided to ban a user from their platform.

I'm never trusting an external provider again.

There's a difference between consistency and efficiency.

I read efficiency as "Energy inputted to accomplish a task", in which case, biological systems are far more efficient than current-day mechanical ones. It's a tradeoff.
