a stable experience that isn’t buggy

Stable has a particular meaning with distros but I think the context here is using the plain English definition of the word.

Was fully prepared for the answer to this to be that a couple extra molecules evaporating don’t make a big difference, but:

Under the optimum conditions of color, angle, and polarization, Lv says, “the evaporation rate is four times the thermal limit.”

That sounds legitimately exciting!

This change would also be bad for anything that scans for keywords, which includes most applicant tracking software.

A car already must be classified as finishing the race to get any points, so this isn’t likely to be an issue.

I once spent a few days sketching out what sort of video game I would make, if I ever did. More as an exercise for myself (a developer nowhere near the game industry) rather than an actual plan. At the end of it, I had a sci fi setting with a handful of roguelike and deckbuilder elements. Shortly after, I discovered Breachway, and it felt like someone had been reading my mind. I love that they have a proper demo, and now I’m really excited to see the game approach its release!

I didn’t get scammed, I just bought a perfect emerald cap at slightly above market rate 😭

This is an excellent summary of your future if you pursue this job listing.

The README lacks a description of why I would choose this over rm. The name makes me think it might replace shred but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

I can't disagree, except to the extent that I don't personally view the CI as a means to reaching some objective, universally "good" set of actions. I think Kant was way off the mark with a lot of that pursuit. I do think, however, that an action which fails to satisfy the CI (meaning as I see it, "I want to do this but I don't think others should") is often one that should be re-evaluated.

But also I took like 3 philosophy courses so I'm officially in way over my head now but enjoy the discussion!

I think the CI is far from a universal law that solves all problems. But I do think it can be among a set of useful tests to judge an action. I'm not sure the surgeon example is in good faith - a reasonable interpretation might be "Help others to the extent that you are trained and able to", which gets you pretty close to most Good Samaritan laws.

Most imperatives taken literally and expected to fit every situation and interpretation will fall apart quickly, I think this one is no better or worse than others. Probably the way I've internalized it is different from how it was originally intended, too!

Something that’s weirdly stuck with me (even though he’s not my favorite philosopher) is Kant’s Categorical Imperative which says, briefly, do only the things that would still be okay if everyone did them.

I think it fills in a nice gap left by the golden rule (treat others as you’d like to be treated) in drawing attention to how some things which don’t seem to do much harm would be a major problem if broadly adopted.

Brb strapping in for the wildest 2 years, 11 months of my life.

Thanks for posting this though. Remember folks, even the super safe drugs are only safe for their intended purpose and dose.
