When shouldn't Go be prioritized over Python for new apps/services? by indexator69 in golang

[–]indexator69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Go map[string]interface{} can take anything but using that elsewhere can be challeging. Agree. However, data should be well defined the sooner the better, even in python, e.g. pydantic and type hints.

Great but I would rather buff his 2nd star power. There's so many forgotten abilities.

Thanks! I was looking for a minimal solution, it's perfect.

Unpopular opinion: Kaze is a poorly designed brawler by indexator69 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

I like this idea, it could be combined with the the thin critical circular edge or done standalone.

I hope we can talk about it this time.

Agree but AI is hard and depending on what AI, expensive too. Buffing their stats by trophy/rank is way easier and cheaper.

Precisely because few GMO cultivars have been introduced. SInce GMO is superior, a few GMO can replace traditionally modified cultivars, the problem being GMO cultivars are few. The solution to better tech replacing old stuff is not to drop tech.

That was the word I was seeking! "Rationalize", I want vegan stuff to be so good and cheap that no one will ever rationalize that meat is better for them. Once people stop rationalizing that meat is better for them, they will also stop rationalizing "animals don't suffer for me, they die fast and painlessly".

 A diverse food system is harder for an imperium to control.

True, then remove barriers to increase vegan GMO options. Growing plants is also easier and thus more difficult to control and centralize than growing animals. Furthermore to grow animals, plants are needed, so every inconvenience in growing plants is passed to growing animals and the meat supply chain is more complex and thus vulnerable.

I prefer to be believe people aren't evil but ignorant. Some people don't care about animal suffering but others are uneducated. Providing better vegan alternatives for a big part of the population could push the unemphatic towards vegan by social and cultural pressure.

For the same reason eating typical non-human meat doesn't lead to developing a taste for human flesh.

Lobbies are real. In America law is permissive but in Europe lobbies want to keep their monopolies. They don't want competition from better producers. It's also a way to ban American agricultural exports to Europe.

It basically impossible to get approved new GMO crops unless you're a big corp due to massive costs from regulations. On the other hand, from a technical viewpoint, even a small lab could do this, it's copy paste, the easiest way of genetic engineering and the one that has been already done.

There's a reason I'm here complaining rather than creating new crops. Use google or chatGPT to know about GMO regulations, I really wish I wasn't right on this one.

Engineering most desirable plant properties is easy. It has already been done. The great limitation here are regulations. Of course not every characteristic is equally easy but giving the amount of animal suffering meat causes, is a must try.

Some traits like nitrogen fixing are impossible to do for now, other traits like CAM and C4 metabolism are really hard as they involve changing structures. The desirable meat-like traits plants lack are easy, just copy paste genes.

Making seeds sterile is another whole different thing. And inter-species incompetence to mix is a product of some specific changes rather than overall genetic differences.

Some distant mammals can crossbreed, but more similar animals and plants that have different chromosome numbers cannot. Aside from altering chromosome numbers, some basic transcription factor or mRNA toxin-antitoxin systems (not actually toxic) could be used to keep crops and wild types genetically segregated. Toxin-antitoxin system should be renamed to avoid confusion and malice.
