I think I’m misunderstanding. The node relabeling seems backwards.
He says start with the highest order, which makes me think the neighborhood with order 3 would get the smaller node labels, and the neighborhoods with order 0 would get the highest.
Store bought varieties of the common fig are likely a self-pollinating variety but the wild variety of the common fig, as well as most of the rest of the 800+ species of figs, are not self-pollinating
The big bang isn't a creation myth, it doesn't say anything about what existed beforehand, and if come up with enough evidence, the "theory" would be invalidated and replaced with one that is less inconsistent with our observations. I am not aware of- but would love to learn of- creation myths which are continuously updated as new data is available.
Scientism is something that philosophers claim exists when they don't want to get in an argument with a scientist.
I’m more talking about the creation myths of science. One example being Copernicus having to break free from the suppression of the Church. The other being the Big Bang, which some claim usurps religion, when in fact it was originally devised by a Catholic priest.
What I’m driving at is that science is an awesome tool, not at all at odds with religion. It’s one, very effective method, but it’s not the end all be all for truth.
The scientism I’m driving at is people putting blind faith in science as a replacement for other forms of understanding. The argument is that religious or philosophical understanding come in when science has reached its absolute limit. The two are not competitive with each other.
So.. a little before Covid hit, some of our leaders decided ( so they were a little ahead of the curve ) to attempt to change names like blacklist to something more neutral in tone. What they quickly found out is that it would cost actual cash money as the change would reverberate throughout the system used. All of a sudden, the proposal was quietly dropped.
Sure... For a start I have my scratch buffer showing a few Unicode characters, one trailing spacing character on purpose (to be sure I can see it's highlighted), a zero-width-non-joiner 0x200C and an Hangul filler 0x3164 (may add some from TFA btw). This helps me quickly verify, upon startup, that my setup is working.
I configured all that literally years ago so I don't remember where's what but here's what I've got:
;; probably cargo-culted from somewhere
(update-glyphless-char-display 'glyphless-char-display-control '((format-control . empty-box) (no-font . empty-box)))
;; See https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/65108
(set-face-background 'glyphless-char "purple")
And then I've got this too (requires markchars.el):
(markchars-global-mode)
With:
(defface markchars-heavy
'((t :underline "magenta"))
"Heavy face for `markchars-mode' char marking."
:group 'markchars)
It should get you started.
(and, yup, I know it's overkill but I like it that way)
How do you protect your fig trees in the winter? I used to pack leaves and straw around them and wrap in plastic, but I didn’t like the resulting mold in the spring.
Last year I just used bubble wrap and plastic, but a lot of the smaller branches died.
Truthfully, I haven't had fig trees before. My neighbor (and uncle) has some that I love the fruit of, so I got some myself.
That said, I don't think he does anything. They need watered the first growing season, if there's not enough rain, and that's it. They grow well here with no insect pressure, climate issues, etc.
Our winters are mild, and we rarely get below-zero temps. Usually a couple overnights each year.
There’s a lot of tension over politics at the moment, I think people have been letting off steam here the past few days as a result, because I’ve noticed it too.
Good news is that a lot of us know how good the dialogue can be. Instead of despairing, why not jump in and raise the conversation?
As a Europerson...i don't really see much difference between this comment section and many others - over several years, at different times, let alone now.
One comment: "I really think this is pretty much solely about politics [etc]."...is what we would refer to as 'social stuff'.
He says start with the highest order, which makes me think the neighborhood with order 3 would get the smaller node labels, and the neighborhoods with order 0 would get the highest.
It looks like the opposite was done.
