  • Pretty confident in my solve. The only ones I didn't get myself were 20-down, 29-down (obvious in retrospect), and 21-across (inferred the word, but didn't know the tool).

  • Rust takes a lot of inspiration from functional languages, but I wouldn't call it a functional language itself. But yeah, not suited to every application.

    Simples.
  • The idea that the use of the term "Man" is at all related to chromosomes, as opposed to how you interact with society. If you were talking about biological sex that'd be a cogent view, but even there there's a ton of nuance.

    Is second/third home ownership ethical in this economy?
  • That seems weird, the opposite position makes more sense to me. You can't think of any possible economy where you could morally have two houses, and in this situation it's somehow necessary? Could you elaborate further, because it seems reasonably plausible that there could be an economy with significantly more houses than households, to the point of warranting multiple ownership. And of all the things to call second house ownership (convenient, luxurious, smart, excessive, warranted), necessary isn't the one that comes to mind.

    Zed on Linux is out!
  • I'm probably more of a git noob than you, but I do usually use the cli. I figured if I'm going to give a gui editor an honest shake I should try to do things the inbuilt, gui, way. And more to the point, I do appreciate a good user interface with information at a glance or click instead of having to type out a command each time.

    Zed on Linux is out!
  • Very first impressions since I literally just downloaded before writing this, and haven't read the manual, I may change my mind with more experience.

    • It's incredibly snappy, to my eyes as fast as Helix.
    • A lot of stuff that took me a while to figure out in VS Code was immediately obvious. How to toggle inlay hints for Rust? Parameter Icon > Inlay Hints (with the keyboard shortcut there for easy toggling).
    • Interactive is generally intuitive because it seems pretty permissive. Tab vs Enter to autocomplete? Either! ctrl-shift-Z vs ctrl-Y to redo? Same thing!
    • After being so used to Helix I often reach for keybinds that don't exist. I might have to learn Vim keybinds because I'm definitely going to keep trying Zed.
    • Not sure how I feel about what seems to be an inline discord-like chat/voice-call feature.

    Going to check out if there's git integration, because I couldn't easily find it.

  • It's not on the border. The specturm line is under each trait. Though it's absolutely ridiculous that they're connected instead of being bars.

    Cost by Protein Source
  • Is that extra soft tofu? It usually has more protein than that. A pack of extra-soft I have is 8g / 100g, and some other varieties seem to be 10-15 from online sources.

    Cost by Protein Source
  • That seems reasonable, given they presumably use the price for dried beans as well. When you care about price (and therefore about about a price/protein graph) you buy beans dried.

    Cost by Protein Source
  • Probably somewhere around the legume cluster. They're really pulling their weight there, as expected, though peanuts are quite the dark horse.

    If you can't make a single sincere counter-argument to your own belief, your stance is driven by emotion rather than logic
  • It's not controversial to accept that all reasoning requires making some basic assumptions. You do understand that I'm just pointing out that a counter-argument exists and I don't actually take it to be damning. It is the same as in all fields; there are assumptions. We assume non-contradiction and an excluded middle. This is reasonable because we can't do much without the assumption. You can call it a properly basic belief. But that doesn't make it objectively true. A person who doesn't make these assumptions—if one exists—could be ridiculed, called less than nothing, even. Such a person could form no coherent views. So? I agree that all useful though must make these presupposition. But perceived utility does not a truth make.

    Listing philosophers doesn't do much. I'll freely admit to not having read much of theirs, and I certainly won't consume their corpora for an internet discussion. However I would be delighted to learn the mistake I've made, because I'm certainly no expert philosopher. If you don't wish to continue, have a great day. If you do, I look forward to it.

  • Oh sure, you can believe things without a sound proof (especially since even those must rely on assumptions). I was mostly trying to demonstrate that there are sincere counter-arguments to even such an uncontroversial belief. Would love to see your rigorous proof if you think you have one though.

  • I mean there is technically no sound way to prove causality (at least to my knowledge). It all goes back to "It's been that way before" which is fair enough, but not rigorous.

    Why do we say, "when I look in the mirror" instead of "when I look in a mirror?"
  • Maybe there's a cultural idea about mirrors being somehow "the same". After all, a mirror shows the same thing regardless of which one it is. Or related in cultural mythology to a singular adjoining world that contains your doppelganger (in such media, you don't usually have a separate mirror-self for every mirror, but one that can be accessed from any mirror). Also could be a turn of phrase that stuck without a good reason.

    Using any DE be like:
  • What do you find not great about mouse/keyboard GNOME? All the gestures I know have pretty simple mouse and keyboard equivalents. So far I just gesture three fingers up/down/left/right, which I can do on a keyboard with super/alt-super-left/alt-super-right or on a mouse with hot-corner/corner-click/corner-scroll. If there's a gesture I'm missing out on please let me know, I always like to learn new tricks.

  • I'm looking to reduce my dependence on Google services as much as possible, and Proton seems to offer the most comprehensive private suite. A number of things seemed to be missing, but most of my information is from reviews that could be out of date. So I wanted to ask which of these features Proton can replicate.

    • Thunderbird mail syncing (without paid plan?)
    • Thunderbird calendar syncing
    • Calendar sharing
    • Easy move from google drive to proton drive
    • Sync android photos like google photos
    • Offline file saving for specific files in proton drive on android
    • Sync with folder or mount on linux (smb or similar)

    I have a number of services I'd like to host, and an old laptop with some of them set up and working on my network.

    But I currently have a Google router, and the Google home app doesn't seem to let you port forward. The "Port Management" option in Advanced Settings redirects to privacy settings.

    There's one port I forwarded before the app broke a few years ago, but I don't suppose it's viable to run multiple services through a single port.

    Is there a workaround, or am I stuck until I can get a new router?

    Update: After more troubleshooting it seems like this is caused by the more fundamental issue of the app not communicating with the network at all. If anyone has ideas for troubleshooting that problem, advice would be very appreciated.
