It's not remotely the same, there is no recognized consensus among any scientific community that individuals can personally identify with being born in a different year and that the dissonance they feel causes harm. On the flip side, there's endless research, studies, and articles detailing gender dysphoria and even references going back through ancient times and totally widespread across different cultures and geographies. Forcing trans women to get ids labeling them as male may not cause them any inherent harm, or it may, but imagine what's going to happen as this already vulnerable group gets pulled over or attempts to vote and they don't "look" the gender on their Id? Find something more important to care about.

is it so detrimental that it leads to a person never finding a mate and reproducing? Maybe for a totally extreme outlier, but probably not

and not even that, I'd narrow it further to not detrimental before and during the prime reproductive periods of a species. After that period, detrimental traits are totally fair game and more dependent on technology, culture, and family care dynamics. Heart disease later in life caused by genetic predisposition to high cholesterol isn't something people generally select for or against in a partner, but its effects happen later in life well after people have children so it passes on.

just popping in to say that it is 15° F in Nuuk right now and 1° F in Minneapolis. Currently 26° F in Anchorage. Minneapolis is often colder than the Alaskan Metro areas with Fairbanks being an exception.

DuckDB just added support for vortex in their last release using the Vortex Python package so hopefully other tools wont be too far behind

Have you tried out PyIceberg yet? It's a pure Python implementation and it works pretty well. It supports a SQL Catalog as well as an In-Memory Catalog via a baked in SQLite SQL Catalog.

I think its testing to see if someone can piece together some information based on a majority's reporting, in this case in the individual characters of the license plate. l'm pretty sure the correct choice is D.

I also use it, have been for about 6 months now and its been a joy to learn and work with. I really like the ability to use typescript and all its helpful bits and tooling for a domain as large as infrastructure on aws. I think it makes infrastructure more accessible to devs who have never had to look at a yaml file for weeks on end or had to learn some DSL that wasn't a general programming language.

Really hoping to see other cloud providers start creating their own constructs in the future
