one thing that comes always to my mind is the possible reason of reaction to shitty work and work related stress that makes us crave for nature and nature contact I'm sure that's a…

How does it compare to iNaturalist or observation.org which are like the 'standard' ones?

does anybody relate to this grown interest to plants and bird distinction with age? I do, and I've seen it in others, but from the limited data points I've seen there's no causal r…

If your goal is eating mostly tofu, sure. But one could also eat 'normal' meals (think food pyramid) from a varied diet including tofu and there'd be no need for nutrient-infused t…

> They certainly can use many types of flowers Note there are various species who're oligolectic meaning they only collect pollen and nectar - and hence pollinate only - a single f…

I was talking message logs for example; is that trivial? I.e. what do you mean exactly? Do you notice the difference between 1 line of text being added every 16.6ms vs 3 lines ever…

Even without this performance hit, an often used way for implementing 'auto scroll to top/bottom' is to first check if there's no other stuff coming in before starting to actually …

If you haven't been thinking deeply about memory management and concurrency, you won't be able to understand, no offense meant I do think about that, when needed . My point is that…

and even std::map, std::unordered_map, even std::vector (!) suck It's really hard to take your comment serious because of generalization like this. Maybe they're not usable for you…

> Arguably, the void* does that as well? Sort of (I mean: seeing void* and a size probably means 'arbitrary sequence of bytes' or something like that, but well it's void* so it can…

> Why should people complexify and uglify their C++ code with the uint8_t pointer (or std::byte), when void* works just fine?? Fair point (although to be honest: 'complexify' feels…

Is 'frame drop' a common term for latency? Dropping frames means something else entirely to me. Anyway: you can calculate things for your particular rendering framework all you wan…

I get that completely. I hardly ever just listen to any EDM. Technical death metal on the other hand I probably enjoy more listening to at home than going to shows because often th…

There's a huge variety of electronic music styles. I'd really recommend trying some without the substances. Maybe the extremes are your thing? Or the highly melodic euphoric ones? …

Amongst the money and power seeking it definitely is but I'm not sure how prevailing that really is among the general population. I think for starters many don't even realize there…

both times absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. Saw them last year in Brussels. And while I agree with this and would go again and would recommend it to others, the side note fo…

Surprisingly, The Netherlands is missing on this map too. Very strange indeed. It's agricultural output is insane for a country with its surface area. Isn't that, just like in Belg…

And Soulseek is still known as the P2P source where you can find all kinds of obscure music. Wow, TIL. Do you happen to know if IRC file sharing of obscure music is still a thing?

So you supplement with non natives that provide something I get the sentiment but tend to I disagree. Maybe some very specific species might benefit somewhat, but in general the pr…

Pesticides form the backbone of crop protection. Without them, we're looking at at least a 40% reduction in global yield Such numbers might be ballpark correct, but I think the "wi…

This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPSm9gJkPxU Imo the explanation is also done better than in the article.

So people without children never become adults? Strange rule. Also not quite what the article is about.

Vegans are constantly using dog meat in a xenophobic way You apparently have never heard or seen the fairly widespread 'the only difference is your perception' line of vegan mercha…
