Everyone says germline editing would reduce diversity in the gene pool, and I can see validity to that argument. But, could it not do the opposite when people start altering their children to align with their own values? I could see the los

Same. Specifically I would want to be a pharmacologist. There are two major barriers that prevented me from considering this route: I'm a fairly terrible student and 8 years of school wasn't gonna happen. I can't stand blood&

hmmm. Wonder what would happen if you configured a zfs pool with this as the l2arc vdev.

Yeah docker is great and I've done the exact same as you for a few years. But, I don't think I even knew what a docker container was until 2018, and again, as an intern or college kid with a school/work windows workstation te

Ever try to install postgres on windows? On a school or work computer you may or may not have admin access on? That's the kind of enviroment a lot of people (including myself) started in. In that sort of enviroment, it's easier to

Ignore this, I was wrong. Django supports sqlite just fine. Last time I did anything with django I was an intern and just copied the setup from the readme which happened to include a mysql setup. I have not touched django since.

It's been at least 3 years since I did anything with django and that was with mysql.

SQLite has other advantages over larger db systems. - By far easiest db to install. - Really go to learn database fundamentals with. If you have no experience with databases and are just starting out programming, PG is going to steepen the

It would probably be harder to bend Django to use SQLite as a backend then it would be to just setup MySQL or PostGRES and use the existing Django tooling for it.

This project comes to mind https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite but I've never used it, and I'm not sure if it would count as "pure sqlite" like the op advocated anymore.

Also valid. I just use ISO8601 and bite the bullet because storage is cheap.

It's ok until you have to deal with loading a bunch of point cloud or geometry data based on associations and sort it out in memory. Then PostGRES becomes your friend.

Ok JSON maybe wasn't the best example. I wasn't aware that SQLite had those json features though, thanks for the advice.

Blocking can become an issue pretty quickly with SQLite unless you do what this guy does and make a different database for essentially every process writing to the db. This can crop up in all sorts of situations. For example today I was wri

I like sqlite as much as the next guy but it's built-in datatypes are limited. Things like arrays, UUIDs, geometry stuff, JSON, etc. Sure you can store more advanced stuff as blobs or text but then you have to mess around with deseri

Not directly. But it is directly correlated with disregard for others feelings, and general lack of social awareness. Which in the case of male EA nerds certainly seems to lead to a lot of situations in which women were disrespected to say

asprin + codiene sounds like a based painkiller combo. Who needs a liver tbh?

Of course these dipshits needed to be polyamorous their little community was like 70% dudes, their clearly wasn't enough pussy to go around. Of course, this would cause more problems than it solved - having been in a poly relationship

Based. Utilitarianism is cringe, these guys need to read Kant or something.

What? A bunch of autistic male nerds obsessed with how smart they are don't respect women? I'm so suprised. Anyway, I dismissed EA because I dismiss basically all forms of utilitarian ethics. When you try to use math and statistic

Exactly. And large scale pension systems and the financial vehicles are essentially the family unit scaled up to the size of a country. I do think there are advantages to doing it the social security way, as it puts less pressure on the in

Could something like epitalon reverse this effect?

Are you fucking stupid? You literally just built a porn reverse image search tool. Think about it, all you need is a screen shot of a single frame of porn and you can find links to other vids with that person. This is a godsend for coomers.

Even as a person that drinks sometimes, I find it annoying when people try to pressure me to drink if I don't want to. It's polite to offer but if someone says no than just ignore it.

You're really not missing anything skipping the booze. If the stuff was invented today it would be seen in the same light as huffing paint for fun. I definitely don't like when people sober-shame others for not partaking in the st

Wow I love these pop sci articles, lists 4 genes: - ESR1 - DRD2 - DCC - TRAF3 that everyone has, and no details on what variants of said genese are actually relevant. This is about as useful as saying "having a brain increases risks

The fact that vivitrol is both rare and stupidly expensive is a tradgedy. Like, if the goverment just forced pharma companies to supply the stuff for free or extremely cheap it would help addicts immensely. Also why not hit people with the
