There are different fields of science. In my field (water resources), any scientist that is reasonable knows the climate change is happening, you can see it in any data that spans for last 50 years. We’re focused on how to deal with it, given it’ll get worse. All the future scenarios (from simulations) are worse than history, there’s less worse and more worse depending on how people will act. But I think even the worst case did not have “world war” into consideration. So we might have wayy worse than our predictions. But again, predicting future is hard, there could be effects that we’re not expecting. Specially the current geopolitical scenario when climate change (and greed) is making life hard leading into authoritative regimes which is making it worse on top of previous policies. Which exceeds the linear growth pattern used in the simulations.

Like, I don’t think a lot of simulation took into account “what if we get rid of all the environmental protection policies?”, maybe a little because they are looking at a lot of different scenarios, but not to this degree, because we didn’t expect this to happen 10 years ago.

This is one of the things I don’t understand about west, Grandparents and family are a big part of raising children in Asia. Anyone with their first baby will be confused, and won’t know what to do if they have never done it before.

How it works in Asia (at least my culture),

• Grandparents teach and take care of baby, letting the mother rest and breastfeed. They have seen and gone through multiple baby raising themselves,
• other siblings help, even younger siblings, that means when it’s their turn they also have some idea and experience on the matter,
• you also help with cousins and other people occasionally, so even the eldest children have some experience with babies,
• many communities have volunteers that help with new moms on new suggestions from government. Like when we changed from carrying baby on the back, to carrying them in the front for warmth and safety. So this balances tradition with new knowledge on what is best.

This is the knowledge transfer part. There is the whole part where this support means a lot for recovering mothers.

Perfectly reasonable for you to ask that.

Even with IUD you can get pregnant. And yes STDs and things, if you were in a long term relationship then it’s probably fine, but if you’re hooking up for the first time and they’re fussy about it, then yeah, they’re not good.

Lol, I just made one of my friend try mint…

Definitely happy I learned it. But I think it also helped I was introduced to it when I just started on Linux.

Most people that use Linux already has editor of choice, and emacs in windows doesn’t feel the same. I’ve had friends show interest in emacs because of how I use it, but it’s always such a hassle to set things up in windows.

Good luck with everything. Go at your own pace, hosting is just leaving a computer on. Add more things as you need and that’s all there is in my opinion. But of course you’ll learn security, backups, and other things as you need.

It is really good when I’m already using something, so I contribute to it because there’s something I wanna fix or add.

But when I’m feeling an itch to make something, then contributing can’t help because I don’t wanna go search for similar projects. I just wanna build.

Emacs is hard to refer to new users (unless they have the passion and time for these things), but I feel lucky I learned it while I had free time.

I feel like projects like these are the only ones that won’t betray us.

Could be fuck ups from AI, i saw several openings from them about integrated AI

During Superbowl I was talking with a software guy working for a big shopping ( data) company, he was telling us how every interaction on their website is recorded for data analysis, and his own wife was shocked. It came up after I prompted for that conversation, talking about the license plate tracking in parking lots (which she didn’t know about).

I like radishes, raw and pickled. And it used to be very cheap food. But in US it’s really expensive. I wish we could just grow stuffs freely. Radishes are ready in 2-3 months if grown.

Greed and overconsumption is the main problem. Even if we find the cheapest and environmental friendly fuel source, they’ll increase the use all the way up and make new problems. We need to replace previous fuel use by new ones, not just add new ones and still keep old ones and use far more power than before.

So basically,

I want other people to work hard, get in trouble, and all that, so that I can just enjoy my own life not having to worry about those stuffs.

Works great, until everyone starts thinking the same, and then noone works towards making your life better. It just gets worse and worse, because only people focusing on politics are doing it for their benefits. And then you start blaming anyone and everyone except yourself for making it worse for you.

In that case you can probably find someone for $100-200 that’ll check your excel logic and make sure it works on libre office. Or python script

How much do you pay? Maybe you can pay someone to write you a custom program to do those things. Maybe in libre office, or python, or some other language with gui and plots.

Mostly wing it based on my memory. But in some occasions, there’s a list of important stuffs. It’s mostly just 2,3 items like “we’re out of potatoes/onions/salt”, then wing the rest.

I think except for important and constant stuffs like spices, it’s better to just buy what’s available cheap and make your food from that. But that could be just me

Historically the countries where that happened, if they were in this US situation they’d have done that decades ago. The spirit of not tolerating manufactured hardship, that is present in those population, does not seem to be present here.

I don’t know a lot about other fields but stat people are hired a lot by research institutions. A good statistician can reduce the number of experiments you need to do, being able to test a drug/treatment with 7 people instead of 100 means a lot. They save a lot of money.

Also being able to make inference from past data, incomplete data, use correct math (there is always different ways to solve things) so they don’t make mistakes.

And a lot of people with stat degree join either academia, or other fields that have actual problems and use their background to solve issues.

I’m not that knowledgeable about the events. But did he name the cult?

If someone else named the cult, and someone else wrote the Bible. And the book did not exist in his time. Then even if he was a real person that wanted good in the world, he was never a part of the religion/cult that was started in his name, right?

Was Jesus ever Cristian?
