That's outrageous. What you are suggesting is gategate!

Pottery! I'd love to have (even just access to) a small studio where I could make things and fire the clay.

Speak for yourself, I absolutely do not hate it. If someone says they are "vegan+something" or "I am mostly vegan" etc, it means they are trying, and doing vastly better than most people on the planet. And to me that is far more valuable than some minor inconvenience I might encounter due to mislabels.

I suspect they might be referring to the thing they replied to, the sentiment "I love murder"

I just want to point out that something being "natural" does not inherently make it ok. Killing other creatures of the same species (murder) is "natural", rape is "natural", stealing is "natural".

The entire point of ethics/morality is to distinguish between the natural things which we find good, and the natural things we find bad and want ourselves and others to stop doing.

My point being that if you want to defend eating meat as morally ok, you should do so without the "appeal to nature".

I highly agree with the sentiment. Learning languages of different paradigms is sort of like travelling to visit other cultures to make you a more rounded, better person. Learn a functional language (lisp/Haskell). Learn a concatenative language (forth/Factor). Learn a logical language (Prolog/?). Heck even learn an assembly! (I suggest RISC-V).

A few good reasons, the first being that brand new operating systems don't get written all that often. But even if they were, functional languages focus a lot on abstractions, making them generally higher level languages and so not fast enough to compete with C.

Having said that, Rust's design is quite inspired by functional languages in many ways, and it is indeed being used in operating systems.

But is it ever 100% hot outside? No matter how hot it feels, it can always get hotter.

[–] Kacarott@aussie.zone 4 points 5 days ago

SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT.

A fuzzy search tool is literally the best use of AI since that's literally what it's trained to do!

Sorry for replying to an old comment, but do you have some source to support this? I am searching online but finding nothing :(
