The FAO (The Food and Agriculture Organization agency of the United Nations) doesn't quite agree with you on http://www.fao.org/edible-insects/en/:

"Edible insects contain high quality protein, vitamins and amino acids for humans. Insects have a high food conversion rate, e.g. crickets need six times less feed than cattle, four times less than sheep, and twice less than pigs and broiler chickens to produce the same amount of protein. Besides, they emit less greenhouse gases and ammonia than conventional livestock."


"Protein" is not meat.

Otherwise beans would be meat too.


Therefore, Impossible Burger is not meat. But it tastes close enough right?


The processed meat alternatives don't really taste close enough. On the contrary, many prefer actual grilled mushrooms or vegetables in their burgers.

Personally, I think fried crickets taste much better than Impossible Burger and the ilk.


No


No


How much estrogen does it have though?


>twice less than pigs and broiler chickens

I'm astounded that pigs and chickens are that efficient compared to crickets. I was thinking efficiency and body mass would have a close-to-linear negative correlation.


On https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet you can see:

"It was not until the Middle Ages that the letter ⟨W⟩ (originally a ligature of two ⟨V⟩s) was added to the Latin alphabet, to represent sounds from the Germanic languages which did not exist in medieval Latin, and only after the Renaissance did the convention of treating ⟨I⟩ and ⟨U⟩ as vowels, and ⟨J⟩ and ⟨V⟩ as consonants, become established. Prior to that, the former had been merely allographs of the latter."

So at Julius Caesar's time, I and J were the same letter that you could write either way.

You can use push options to automatically create a pull request and set it up when you push:

Had no idea that existed, super cool, thanks!


There is already an "engineering" category:

I work for GitLab on low level things in Git, for example:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23029

which is requested by Drupal (among others):

Yeah, GitLab has been on a monthly release schedule since October 2011: https://about.gitlab.com/2015/12/17/gitlab-release-process/


Here is the related thread on the Git mailing list:

libgit2 has had bugs related to file locking (for example when you make some ref changes while garbage collecting) and libgit2 does not implement all the git features, so you cannot do everything using libgit2 anyway.


Git refs can be packed (see https://git-scm.com/docs/git-pack-refs) so it's not just about checking if a file exists.


The article on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_calculator, looks like a much better link to me.

The following other mechanical calculator also seems to be an important step: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmometer
