I’m still bullish on AR once Apple launch Glass in early ‘22. Having a real-life videogame HUD with a blue marker showing my next destination sounds fantastic.
Functional programming language where the canonical representation is a content-addressed directed acyclic graph.
Solves all kinds of problems from dependencies to deployment and moving code between nodes in a principled way.
The language itself is inspired by haskell, but has a principled and clean solution to the coloured function problem of async programming, and a simpler way to compose effects than monad stacks.

Why does everyone have to become vegetarian? When everyone stops eating meat and turns to "healthy" meals like corn based vegetarian burgers I think we are all worse off. Variety, locally grown produce, locally raised animals is the best way to keep diversity and quality. The vegetarian food available now is good because it's not as mass produced.
The point of ethical vegetarianism is not keeping diversity and quality of foods, it's preventing bad life of animals. It's also not the point of ecological vegetarianism: it's preserving the diversity of natural ecosystems, as opposed to food farms.

I certainly do like eating meat and I don’t think there is any ethical problem with eating meat. The problem with trying to use ethics to justify a position is there is little agreement on what is ethical or not.
Some people are not comfortable killing an animal to eat it. To them it's not an ethical choice. I have no problem killing an animal for food. I also have no problem with someone else finding it unethical. Each person has their own beliefs that govern their ethics. As long as we all find a way to live peacefully together there is nothing wrong with that.

It is no more nonsense that the OP’s argument. If you do an analysis on animals killed per calorie, grains kill many more animals than say grass fed cattle. I think many people are unaware how many rodents are killed every year growing and harvesting grains. I don’t think this is a very good reason to eat or not eat meat.

As an ethical vegetarian for the past five years, I've very interested in cultured (lab-grown) meat technology[1]. FWIW, I'm very happy with my diet and probably wouldn't switch back even if this does become affordable, but I'm 100% supportive of the concept of cruelty-free meat.

30 year pescetarian here. I mean, mainly vegetarian but some fish every so often. I gave up meat at 17 on the basis of no reason whatsoever, I was just a contrary teen who liked giving things up. Down the line a few years I find so many compelling reasons to not eat meat. Each individually may be argued out of the room but collectively it's pretty compelling. Ethically: there's no arguing meat eating is better. None.…
> Ethically: there's no arguing meat eating is better. None. However well you treat animals you're still ultimately going to kill them.
Ultimately every animal is going to die. If the moral hangup for you is the certainty of death, then wouldn't you consider any form of reproduction immoral? 'However good and rewarding their life may be, children are still going to die eventually, ergo noone should reproduce'.
Unless it's the act of killing with the intention to consume that's the issue?

Do you know how many animals die growing grains and other vegetables? Or do you consider the the life of a rodent ethically less than that of a cow?
Take that number and at minimum ADD the cows to it. It's not like they feed of thin air while they live. In addition to that, every step up the food chain requires 10x the amount of energy so for every kg of beef produced you need equivalent of 10kg plants just to raise the cows. It's not like the cows feed freely in the grass and carefully avoid stomping on insects all the time, this is often also harvested with mac…
Not many insects are killed by cattle stomping on them out on some grassland compared to how many are killed by insecticides sprayed on crop land.
