I bought the 2019 one and ended up selling it for this reason.
Have never had CEC compatibility issues with anything else. I've rotated through Samsung and TCL TVs, Roku Boxes, Google TV Boxes, Chromecasts, Switches, Xboxes, Yamaha and Denon Amps, and Vizio Sound Bars, but the only showstopping CEC issue I've ever had was with the shield.
Yeah, you can kind of tell, I think Chromecast Audios are the same thing.
Either one of the Google founders / board members still use them and love them and won't let the company discontinue them, or one of the original engineers / PMs has risen up to the point where they can keep allocating support budget to it.
I mean, in that case, this just feels like adulthood. I don't sleep to stay healthy (even though I probably should), I have so much stuff to do that I sleep just enough so that I have enough energy to get everything done.
The original Copilot is GitHub Copilot which is a coding assistant and it's very popular and useful for developers. I think most of the paying copilot customers and usage are coming from there.
GitHub Copilot (the original copilot) is wildly popular amongst professional software developers, and is used more and more as it gets more powerful.
I suspect most of the original paying customer base are developers and they're seeing a 3x usage, primarily amongst them, with a small bump from users of all the other copilots.
If so, this has to be the craziest opinion I've ever heard. You're trading 8 hours of time for the feeling of curling up in a bed, and for the feeling of waking up in the morning?
You can get that with a 15m nap, and I'd do that like once or twice a week. Life I way too short and there's so much other shit I would do with an extra 8 hours in the day.
Most major languages these days are multi-paradigm languages that can do procedural, functional, or object oriented coding.
C#, Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Python, Swift, etc all fall into this bucket.
Java has made a lot of efforts to support functional programming, but it's still not first class.
I would argue that these languages adopting functional coding as a first class citizen has made dedicated functional languages somewhat more obsolete, but they also paved the way and set the standards for the general languages that came after.
On the web side of things, the most popular JavaScript / TypeScript frameworks these days are often fundamentally functional though, from React on the front-end to Express on the back end.
Functional languages are inherently built on non-functional ones, for the same reason that object oriented languages are built on non object oriented ones, because cpus are fundamentally not object oriented or functional.
They are computational machines with specific instructions around moving values in memory and performing certain operations on them.
Assembly / machine code is always, at a fundamental level, procedural programming because at a the most fundamental level, cpus are designed as procedural machines, so all higher ordered languages, from C, all the way up through Python and Lisp, have to translate down to assembly, which maps to the machine's instruction set, which is procedural and imperative.
However, there is an OS that tries to be functional as much as possible though, and that's a Linux distribution called NixOS, based on the functional language Nix.
Lol I know, but they were essentially making the point that beans are just an overall better protein source.
Now, don't get me wrong, beans are a great and nutritious food, and a good source of protein, but if you're analyzing them just as a protein source, then they're just objectively not as good as most meats, or like you pointed out, eggs.
I do agree that you should want to eat a healthy and balanced diet with a large variety, but at the end of the day macros do still matter, especially if you need to gain or maintain muscle mass. That can be because you're an athlete, or because you're over /under weight, or because you're elderly and need to prevent muscle mass loss to maintain the rest of your health, or if it's because your sick or recovering from an injury. In all those situations, where macros do actually matter, then it's perfectly possible to gain muscle while eating vegetarian or vegan, but just normal beans are not the protein source to do it. You're either going to want to eat quite a decent number of eggs on the reg, or supplement with a concentrate like whey or pea protein powder.
My point is just that beans are not an equivalent protein source to meat, and there's no point pretending like they are. No one is going to fall for it and suddenly convert. You'll have more success convincing people to go meat free by actually giving them viable alternatives, not gas lighting them.
The standard Daily Recommended Allowance for protein intake is ~0.83g / kg body weight. I.e. that is the minimum amount of protein you need to eat every day to maintain your basic nutrition, which for a 180lb person is about 70g of protein per day, at minimum.
You need more it you're an older adult, and you need close to double that if you're an athlete trying to gain muscle.
You are precisely wrong here, echoes require open space to proliferate.
Go out to a field and try to produce an echo. They literally require walls to bounce off of.
Isn't the reason you are invoking a contortion of scale to shift our focus to inside one of these smaller bubbles/cells motivated by a desire to induce a sense of some small degree of open space around us? In a sense, aren't you arguably still invoking the idea that space is what allows echoes rather than density and enclosure?
You need some space yes, ideally the inside of your chamber needs to be mostly empty and insubstantive.
However, echo chambers can not be filled with too much space, because echoes don't work at infinite scale. Sound dissipates and loses energy as it travels through air, so for an echo to occur and you to hear it, you need to be a relatively short distance away from a wall. To be truly echoey and hear multiple echoes of the same sound bouncing back and forth on the walls in front of and behind you, you need those walls even closer together, for not just the extra distance travelled, but also how much energy is lost during each reflection.
An echo chamber is inherently a closed space because open spaces don't echo because there's nothing to bounce off of.
Echo Chambers's defining characteristics are walls that cut them off from the outside world, being large voids with little substance inside, and hearing what you say repeated back to you.
Plus, if you shrank down to the size where you could fit inside one of the bubbles of acoustic foam, it may very well be echoey in there.
