I made my statement as a BDD/TDD practitioner.
The code goal of software engineering is not to deliver said code, but to deliver it in a framework that lets others—and consequently me in a week’s time—to contribute easily. This makes both future improvements and bug fixes easier.
Dumping a ~25000 lines changeset with a git history that’s almost designed to confuse is antithetical to both engineering and open source.
The size of that changeset means that it’s inherently unreviewable.
The commit history is something I’ve seen only in the PRs that even the most dysfunctional companies would demand a rewrite for.
Also, 2-3 weeks review? PostgreSQL support could be added in that time without the need for a damn „vibe check”. Hell, it would probably take less time than that.
Let’s face it the only reason you’re saying “coding is a practical use case” is because you yourself don’t code, and don’t understand it.
Usually only the last statement is true.
Any feature relying on a willing cooperation of every node in the network is impossible to enforce.
Sure, it should be attempted, but don’t expect it to actually matter against actors that just don’t give a fuck.
But how could you possibly know anything about things you and your family personally suffered through? Silly little barbarian…
we age due to our telemere buffer shortening
Telomere shortening is a marker and there is a correlation, but aging is a process that happens on multiple levels and many of those aren’t fixable by DNA restoration.
We experience wear and tear, we accumulate damage, we accumulate waste, we lose body parts, we constantly fuse our bones together, we have body parts that grow surrounded by tissues capable of maintaining them but then operate outside of them, the list goes on.
But most importantly, death is such a beneficial feature, that it outcompeted everything else. Producing new generation of individuals regularly is a simple and terrifyingly effective solution to a vast array of problems. Many aspects of aging can be seen as adaptations to inevitability of procreation and death.
That aside, I like pointing people at professor Michael Levin’s work. Be very skeptical, as it’s a small field in a world that goes through reproducibility crisis, but it does fill me with a cautious hope.
Why the fuck is the very first sentence not a link to the goddamn proposal being discussed? Are they trying to look sketchy to anyone with a habit of informational hygiene?

His death was the moment when Russian state dropped any pretense of being civilized.
It’s also roughly the time when Russia has pivoted from “let’s trade” narrative towards “don’t encroach on our turf” threats. Prior to that there was at least an effort to put on makeup on the Europe facing ass cheek.
You spelled November 16, 2009 wrong.
Well, IIRC it’s not indirectly. Sam Altman negotiated pre-purchase of massive chunk of wafer supply, which OpenAI backs up with its virtual money.
So DRAM manufacturers are facing a wafer shortage in near future. Which translates into prices now.
Using single vim.pack.add() call to load all necessary plugins at once and later configure in a series of require() calls
How about not using require for configuration at all? Although I wouldn’t expect it from this particular author - he shoves require().setup even into plugins that literally have nothing to configure and should just work.
The whole thing is a remnant of an old misinformed plugin template repository made by someone with no knowledge of vim startup sequence.
Cue sheets are important.
Heracleum sosnowskyi in Ukraine. Fucking commies decided to start seeding it en-masse for cow feed without even checking whether it would work.
It bitters the milk, making it unusable as feed. It is poisonous and hybridizes with native edible species. Skin contact results in horrible blisters that tend to not heal cleanly. Its juice is toxic and mutagenic.
A war crime in plant wrapping.
Oh, they just didn’t realize that they are easy targets themselves. Early days are always like this.
Soviet development that was driven purely by economic considerations tends to have all the issues of modern development. Well, except car centric planning, but we know why that wasn’t a consideration ever.
Apartment complexes that didn’t focus just on economy, tended to be way better. And that is missing from modern considerations almost always.
Still, there’s a reason pre-Soviet areas to this day remain some of the most sought out ones.
Relations with China will now be approached through “strength, not confrontation”, the report says.
The fuck does that mean?
