I realize chrome is a sensitive subject here, but I'm just narrowing down the problem :)

Works fine for me on Chrome

I think you'd have to factor in the resource input required to create that mass of crickets vs beans/pulses/etc. I realize crickets are pretty efficient but they could end up being very similar. I also don't have good sources for this.

Is there an advantage of insects as a protein source over plants or fungi? What makes you dismiss the plant-based Beyond/Impossible meats?

the Apple website uses background blur and has giant scroll-animated images. The store page has drop shadows and CSS transitions.

sure, but if your rationale is that killing a plant causes suffering, then would damaging it not do the same?

can you explain further? In my experience other people's half-baked commit messages are just noise while the pull request is more carefully written, so the squash merge is more intelligible. Additionally, the PR is typically used as the "atomic" code change rather than the individual commits.

I agree about these videos not always being designed to get you to a complete understanding just by watching through the series.

For example, the 3b1b linear algebra series is great but I couldn't have used it to become proficient at _doing_ linear algebra. Even having taken a linear algebra class, I got more out of that series as a supplement to actually working out math problems on paper than as a primary source—and I definitely think that's what's intended.

I'm tired of hearing "living in fear" equated with taking basic precautions to prevent the spread of disease, on HN of all places. It's just a dog whistle.

It seems to me that Derek did several things right here:

- Choose a topic with which he has relevant experience

- Collect experimental data supporting his hypothesis

- Fairly address opposing viewpoints, in this case by providing a platform for a dissenting expert to present his evidence

Are there examples of similar videos being removed from youtube for misinformation?

I just don't buy this take. There's so much code; how can you be certain it will face sufficient scrutiny just by virtue of being available?

There are lots of URI schemes in use. Firefox removing support for FTP doesn't mean that you can no longer open FTP links from Firefox, it just means that they'll need to open in another client. I don't see how this breaks the web.

maybe they think that using high-level vocabulary is an indicator of intelligence. Fortunately, the article does that too.

> what happens if somebody puts a gun (or a knife) to your face?

Nothing. Either they mug you and leave or you get injured (or they didn't see the cop standing behind them.) Facial recognition is not going to solve that problem.

I'm not informed on the issue, but I'd imagine that preventing them from buying the technology is easier than tightly controlling its use.

It's still in early stages, but I'm excited for Intl.Segmenter[0], which will let you do locale-aware text segmentation. Maybe not useful for a typical webpage, but probably has some cool niche applications.

I think the point of the second part was that a lot of textiles are made of plastic fibers

And what if I'm disturbed seeing you walk around the neighborhood, and I call some big burly men to give you a talk about it? Even if most people are reasonable, this just invites the unreasonable people to power trip with private security forces.

I disagree, I think "check your spam" is fairly widely understood.

That makes sense in principle, but in practice I think this is a case where the technology is eventually going to have to meet the real world needs and not the other way around; email just doesn't match typical patterns of personal communication in my experience.

Recently, I sent a longer-form announcement email and I think it really benefited from simple formatting. Headers that were visually distinct made it easier to parse, and in one place I set an image to float right which I felt made it less disruptive. I even set a max-width on the whole email, which I think works far better than the hard-wrapped text that some people write.

Widely known as taro root.

Yeah, I guess if you don't use typescript? But isn't that a lot of the appeal of deno? The browser can't import a TS module.

Luckily almost every browser supports it these days

How do you actually go about writing isomorphic libraries for browser/deno? It seems like for frontend code you'll have some build system that resolves imports to node_modules, whereas deno code imports from e.g. deno.land. How do you write library code with dependencies that can support that and the other differences in the module systems?

a lot of pretty big business (including the cloud providers themselves) run very successful services on cloud servers. I don't see how it's fake.

Would be awesome if this supported SVG for better accessibility/making code copyable!

volatile organic compound

there's nothing wrong with sharing anecdotes, but it's not science until someone actually does the "proving/disproving" in a convincing way.

all of my Kroger brand cans state that they have BPA-free liners, so it ought to be possible to avoid this if you want to.

Hey dang, if you ever see this I just want to say I meant no offense to you or your efforts. Some people on hn frustrate me on occasion—I doubt you flagged it :)
