HARD disagree. Watch “the business of being born”. We’ve turned a fairly routine extremely biologically conserved process into this insanely traumatic experience.

The actual study doesn’t compare between generations. So I’ve know way of knowing if GenZs attitudes are much different comparatively.

Interesting results regardless when they compare the shift of 2025 to 2026

Seems like an opportunity to form a coop. I guess I’m being naive though. I just don’t know how

Acts of service.

I was at a Gurudwara (Sikh house of Worship) yesterday for a wake and everyone who enters the cafeteria perform shevas, that is, you take a turn serving everyone else food. It was very nice to do.

Just getting back here, didn't expect all these replies.

I meant supply-side.

My understanding is that a large portion of Scandinavian socialism is paid for by sovereign wealth funds, ultimately backed in their oil production and reserves.

I know they’ve gotten a lot else right of course

Not trying to be overly flippant... who cares?

The paper opens with "to feed a growing population" without asking is that what we need? want? where we are actually heading to?

Is feeding the world a real problem? I've yet to see compelling evidence that it really is except as a secondary effect of logistics, energy supply, and war.

edit: I understand the environmental impacts. I think we should solve our energy problems first.

He seemed like a kind and gentle man. I looked up to him. RIP

* work from the gym, if there is a lounge area * work from the library * join social clubs pertaining to your interest * change your job to be in-office, the commute and errands that occur incidentally result in more interactions

I'm sorry you're going through this.

I see so much creativity coming from young developers I just can’t agree. Yes most developers in the past 20 years who were only chasing big tech money were useless. Good riddance

He introduced me and many others to Sarah Paine. I think that helped launch him. Maybe that was already after he had an audience though.

The funny thing is his questions to her were terrible. But she rescued it anyway.

But I think he has improved markedly as an interviewer I will say

Some people are colorblind. Some people have more or less cones and rods. Our interpretation of colors is certainly not the same

I used cursor over the past three weeks to update a 12 year-old Ruby on rails project. While it has been slightly updated throughout the years, this was my first proper modernization of the code base.

It’s been a real pleasure getting back into Ruby after so many years in typescript, python, and rust.

Happy to see the update. Real shame about the haters here, the Ruby community is a supportive and positive bunch that has shipped real products while others seem to worship at the altar of computer science alone… that’s about as counter snarky as I want to be here

I compound tirz with glycine and B12. I honestly think these are miracle drugs.

I’ve never been extremely overweight but I hit a point where I had 30 pounds to lose, despite my height, and I can’t deal with the hunger amidst all my other life stresses.
