Just asked a friend about this:
> 1 egg, two slices whole wheat bread, one slice of cheddar, two.. leaves of lettuce ..
and he said it's wrong and useless (!) - giving me examples and numbers as:
protein assimilability from bread is 40% etc.
Is there a way to get correct answers from Wolfram regarding this ?
(assimilability of doesn't work)
Edit: Excuse me, what's wrong with you downvoters - it's a legit question. Or is there something wrong with assimilability? Are you happy being off with your answers by 60% - or jealous that a human can have better answers?
It might help to explain what your friend says is “wrong and useless” so others could provide feedback.
It also might help to avoid insinuating things about strangers online in order to promote discussion and not stifle it.
LordOfWolves commented on I write code 100 hours/week, here's why I probably won't stop devlog.hexops.com/2021/I-... · Posted by u/boyter
I worked nearly 100 hrs per week at the beginning of my twenties. Between an undergraduate engineering program, business school minors, a busy college life, running a boutique software agency for small-to-medium sized businesses, and creating & building startups of my own, it took its toll.
A couple years later, I was completely burnt without knowing it. I only realized it after talking with others about the not-so-admirable things I had been feeling, something many like myself hesitate to do when trying to grow into the leaders we aspire to be. It was at that point that my situation became clear.
I ended up taking almost two years away from any form of work in order to bring balance back to not only my mind, but my life as well. Suffice it to say this process was not as simple as it sounds.
I implore anyone caught in the “just keep going with everything despite the stress, you’re almost there” mentality to consider what is driving you and if it is healthy for you in the long run. Being healthy and happy, with loved ones abound, is tremendously underrated by types like myself.
Started watching the show, it is way too dramatized but still interesting.
The actual demo of Terravision is indeed mind blowing if you remember how powerful computers in 1994 were: http://www.joachimsauter.com/img/big693.mp4
This is quite impressive for ‘94, thank you for sharing.
I found it funny - in a “how ridiculous/silly” kind of way - that at 4:40 we get to look inside a building by entering through its windows, but here we are in the 21st century with that exact capability. Individuals providing photos and/or footage of the interior of their commercial space does not seem so silly these days.

Unregulated anticheat software retaining user clipboard contents, sending/uploading arbitrary files, all window titles, all processes and computer and username, and any other IPs on LAN and ARP cache, sending in plaintext across country borders, ignoring GDPR/CCPA/etc.
In the meantime, most users with that anticheat software installed presume that it is simply looking out for them, in terms of eliminating cheaters in __ video game, and could not possibly be doing the nefarious things you mention. Yet, all of us working in software know this is not a far stretch, given the application is already designed to gather information about the environment surrounding the running game. We have a long way to go with software, put simply..
I can understand the copyright stuff because Google can’t possibly afford the fight against the MPAA/RIAA. Why wade into politics though? What gain does Google obtain through political censorship?
I’m going to take a guess that perhaps it has to do with Google’s ability to continue to commercially operate in China.
Perhaps X leadership from Google spoke with Y leadership from China and reached this compromise in order to avoid a potential all-out ban of Google’s services in China, similar to - though nowhere close to the same reasoning behind - the US’ ban of Huawei telecommunications equipment.
PLEASE NOTE that this is purely conjecture. I am not affiliated with Google or China, in any way, shape, or form. This should not be taken as fact.

So this blog is about 500k lines of code and an entire business built around some proprietary Git GUI? That's kind of terrible
Proprietary and Git don’t really go well together. Anyone can use Git and you certainly don’t have to use this or any additional software with it. I’ve never used Tower, as everything I’ve wanted to do in Git has been accomplishable via the command line.
The necessity of this article is debatable however. As with the majority (all?) of software products (excluding games), there’s often always that “this tool solves a problem we had ourselves” component. A somewhat shallow piece of content marketing is what this appears to be.

As much as European cars have a favorable reputation among American consumers: They are awful!
If you do benchmarking, you are going to find European cars have lots of appearance parts that are high quality, but the actual components are poor.
A more realistic comparison would be to compare Tesla vs Ford or GM. These are 3 companies that have similar tech/culture standards. This video is like comparing AMD to Apple.
