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?

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.

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.

Why are you using PCPs?

For primary care. I believe that's where the name Primary Care Provider comes from.

The difference from urgent care is long term. Having the same PCP for long periods of time provides an opportunity for deep insight and developing a personal relationship.

There's a lot of chess configs, but there's a LOT of atoms in the observable universe. I suspect there's a few in the unobservable universe too.

Chess configs = 4.8 x 10^44, Atoms > 10^70

You might be able to pull off a low-resolution lookup table. Take some big but manageable number N (e.g 10^10) and calculate the maximally even distribution of those points over the total space of chessboard configurations. Then make a lookup table for those configs. In play, for configs not in the table, interpolate between nearest points in the table.
