There’s something very Ender’s Game about all this…

Sarcsam aside, personally, I think the fact that our law reflects our prejudices is more racist than the actual means that we use to enforce them, which is a pretty high bar to clear.

Once you get to an 88 person polycule, I start to wonder about upper limits. Could all of humanity just be one big polycule? That actually might... be awesome?

It depends on what you mean by "on purpose." You didn't mean to hit that light pole, but there was a lot of intentionality around the decision to drive and the decision to build a car-based society that is very much "on purpose" and the effect of that is deaths due to cars.

Because it's illegal, duh. Once you enshrine your prejudices in law, they're no longer racism, they're just moral purity.

You gotta think the loons are not feeling great going in to the locker room right after a goal like that

I’m pretty sure computers do a better job of managing the clutch and the regenerative brakes and stuff, but we need to give more things to drivers to do to help keep them focused and engaged if we’re going to continue to allow them to operate automobiles.

Maybe eliminating cars would prevent cops from being able to fabricate traffic incidents to make ticket and arrest quotas?

Aw, I guess I’m getting old. I still think of him as the 15 year old he was when he played in ccl. Still, Busquets shouldn’t have hit him, regardless of how ineffectual the actual punch was.

 

Sorry, I don’t know why the graphic says swipe; I can only find sources that have a single image.

Oh, I guess ha ha you really owned me by pretending to care about sports so you can clown on me about etymology or whatever. I’m just super upset that I got to talk about my favorite sport in the context of its entrance into the English language and its place in 19th century British class structure on the internet.

 
 

Recognizing how costs can drop as investments are scaled up dramatically transforms assessments of costs in the longer run. Put simply, earlier investments make large-scale emission reductions easier to do over time because their unit costs drop.

 

I have a custom hook that I'm working on to make a fetch request to an api, and it is causing infinite re-renders. I'm struggling a bit to understand how the various parts of my application fit together -- in particular, my store (zustand) is using a middleware (immer) for immutable state, and I'm not certain why its drafting system isn't protecting me from changes in object identity. What tools can I use to try to track down what I've gotten wrong? I can't really leave the web page open very long because I'm making 1000s of requests per minute to the api I'm working against, so the Chrome dev tools are out, and the static analysis tools I set up (typescript and eslint) haven't identified any errors, like missing a dependency from the useEffect hook dependency array.

Why .7 and not .5? The world may never know.

 

ROCKS ARE IMMUTABLE

Rocks are immutable and hold No scope for self-aggrandizement, Each well-worn pebble churned and rolled Suffers a like predicament.

Gripped in what mesh of causal schemes Endures each casual atom what When one perchanced electron screams A stuttering signal, and is not?

Grant then a gamete, grant a score By crabbed environment beset, And man the instrument, no more, And where’s the credit? Where the debt?

Or grant pure chaos, flickering chance, And life’s defection near and soon, Then mark the shock of circumstance, The day from solid darkness hewn — Rock is a shivering miracle, Betrayed in sunlight, gleaming wet, And love cries out in chlorophyll To welcome truth in petals yet!

— From These Our Matins (1930) by Michael Roberts.
