Another tip for quinoa is to be careful not to overcook it. It will turn really mushy if overcooked.

Keep an eye on your quinoa while cooking and turn off the heat as soon as the curly germ separates from the seed. At that point, ideally, there should be very little excess water left. Keep the cover on your cooking container on for a few more minutes while the quinoa soaks up the remaining water.

The result should be rather firm quinoa kernels that "pop" as you chew them, rather than the mushy goop you'd get if you overcooked. Quinoa is much tastier this way.

I also second the recommendation to rinse the quinoa. This is especially important for quinoa that hasn't been pre-rinsed, as quinoa naturally contains an outer coating of that acts much like soap (witness the foam coming out in your rinsing water) which can give you digestive problems if not thoroughly rinsed.

Mutually Human – Developers/Designers – Grand Rapids, MI & Columbus, OH (on-site, full time)

We're always looking for developers, but we're especially looking for a senior designer to join our team right now.

A little bit about us:

- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

- We aren't limited to any specific set of technologies, which is a great
opportunity to learn. In the past two years, I've worked with Python, iOS,
Angular.js, CoffeeScript, QT, Node, Ruby, Rails, and more.

- We practice a sustainable pace. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design. For example. last year I worked an average of 40.408 hours per
week.

- We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

- 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

- Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

- Low cost of living. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

A little bit about you:

- You love making software, and you have experience with a variety of technologies.

- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more.

- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

I'm a software developer on this awesome team. If you're interested, check out our website:

But one lesson of the fall and rise of HealthCare.gov has to be that the practice of awarding high-tech, high-stakes contracts to companies whose primary skill seems to be getting those contracts rather than delivering on them has to change.

If this happens the entire contracting landscape of DC would change dramatically.
Thanks so much Colin. I'll probably be switching my play linode over to ec2.
Just because a lot of "startup people" binge drink doesn't mean all of them do. Dress right? Startups have a much freer dress code (read: they don't) than basically all traditional jobs. Most jobs have actual dress codes.

Also, having a family doesn't mean they are excluded based on their background. It means they have decided to value something above starting a company, something they are free to do. You translated "welcome people of all backgrounds" into "allow people to get exactly the same lifestyle and compensation format while also working at a startup." Anyone can start a startup. That doesn't mean everyone should or will.
I gave the beta a try and it seems pretty nifty! Great job!

Since I'm an programmer who's an aspiring artist, I have a few questions:

1. Is there a way to turn off additive brush-layering (ie the opacity does not change when you stroke over the same place)[1]? I am used to Krita and Photoshop having an option to toggle this. The only way when the opacity increases is when the pressure increases.

2. Is there a way to create custom brushes? I'd love to be able to create my own. Also, Krita has some nice ways of "scripting" brushes which was nifty. The current ones are more than fine, but I usually make certain "helper" brushes to speed things up a little.

3. Do you plan to open-source certain parts of Leonardo? It'd be great if you open-sourced the specification for .leo and, the brush format, so it's easier to create conversion tools. I'm not a marketing expert, but I imagine having the ability to import brushes from Photoshop would be a huge benefit.

4. Do you intend to support plugins?

"""I've never been to a comics store where that's all they have"""

Ok. I’ve stopped.
The proposals I heard would keep the district but make it much smaller, creating the new state (where the majority of people live) around it; the theory being that the constitution only requires a district not to exceed a 10 mile square. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Admission_Act
Is apple getting into social media?
Yes, I clearly typed the wrong word. It is clearly a noun.
> even though the constitution says the legislatures set the rules,

The US Constitution, in Article II Section 1, says:

> Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct

You see the keywords "may direct"? That means that legislatures are empowered to delegate authority as they see fit in their statutes. So if the legislature says that the governor and officials can change some things, then the governor and officials have the authority to challenge them.

> there is no one who has any standing to challenge those rules

Where did I say that? I said that Texas does not have the right to object to Pennsylvania. A voter in their state can sue their own state in their own state courts if they believe their officials have violated their own state laws. And if you paid attention in the spring, summer, and fall of 2020, you will have found that several people did challenge the actions of their state governments in these regards, and those actions were sometimes successful.

What was not successful was other people (including the Texas v Pennsylvania suit) suing the officials in federal court, and waiting until well after the election to do so.

> Again, I am attempting to engage in good faith.

Then keep in mind that losing on standing doesn't mean no one can bring the suit, it only means that the plaintiff is not the right person to do so. There's a big difference between the two, and jumping straight to the former smacks of bad faith to me.

Since you added this after I wrote this comment:

> If the mayor of Portland chose electors for Oregon and the governor allowed that (using my state as an example here), you don't think anyone has the right to ask federal courts to answer the question of whether or not electors must be chosen by the legislature (as the constitution demands), and asking them to decertify the ones chosen by someone other than the legislature?

No. No one has the right to sue in federal court on that matter. You would sue the governor (assuming he's the one who is supposed to sign off on the electors in Oregon law) in the appropriate Oregon court. Alternatively, assuming this an executive order that is drawn up before the election, you would sue the governor and the mayor in Oregon court to enjoin from enacting the executive order, assuming that Oregon law prohibits such an executive order from being made.
The US is already a net oil exporter, and the EU mostly gets their fossil fuels from Russia. That's why anti-interventionist voices are so frustrated these days; it's increasingly rare to see any concrete justification for why regional conflicts in the Middle East are actually relevant to the US.
I dislike the will-change property and wish they’d left it at the obviously-a-hack `transform: translateZ(0)`, because the whole thing should simply not be necessary—everything should be rendered on the GPU, and that’s the clear way forward; formalising the will-change property legitimised the prevailing architecture at a time when Servo had already demonstrated with WebRender that it was possible to do better; and so Firefox now uses WebRender and does all rendering on the GPU (on most platforms), so that will-change is, I think, simply rendered obsolete (except for platforms that it can’t yet GPU-render on, because GPUs and their drivers are so awful). See https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/10/the-whole-web-at-maximum-f... for more info on the whole WebRender performance thing.

The binaryen toolkit comes with a wasm2js tool, you could translate the wasm back to js and see how performance compares ;)

It's possible that performance isn't all that different, because asm.js-style Javascript can be surprisingly fast (compared to "idiomatic" human-written Javascript).

Otherwise it's a completely pointless excercise of course, unless you need to support browsers without WASM support (which don't exist anymore AFAIK).

To be fair to Ruby I think it has a lot less WTFs than Python. The design of Ruby is a lot cleaner.
There is no interoperability between systems that use ideas from Signal Protocol and it is unlikely that there will ever be. There is no published standard. The best you can do is transiterate existing source code. It is a very complicated protocol with lots of state. It requires a server infrastructure to work. To be interoperable clients need access to information on the same server.

The protocol is simply not designed for interoperability...

Why do you advocate for CO2 pollution? Capturing that CO2 suffers from the exact same problem. You either pump it into sealed caverns and hope they don't leak or somehow extract the carbon and turn it into a solid. In the end you are "landfilling" the CO2 instead. Why not skip the middle man and just bury it directly?
It still seems like a valid metric, you just need to multiply the number of bitcoin transactions with some factor for the average number of outputs. That number will be pretty low and quite stable over time.

The term crap/shovel-ware usually denotes pre-installed garbage no one ever asked for or used except the completely uninitiated.

So it's not so much an indictment of the software itself but the way in which it was installed, which in turn made anyone with with any knowledge remove them ASAP without ever testing them like HP Games, which is still around today.

I remember this bonzii buddy my ex-fiancée's mother would keep installing on her computer and then complain it was infected and acting crazy. I would inform her about the toolbar she kept installing and how it would in turn install heaps of other garbage.

Her response? 'But I like it, he stays, just fix it.'

I still hate that stupid purple mokey to this day.

Why start by writing him? Emails are easy to ignore. Give him a friendly call. That'll kick it up a notch without seeming hostile.

You don't need to act like anything is amiss -- just say you're following up on the invoice you sent on April 30th. End the conversation with "Great, I'll look forward to receiving payment by June xxth. Thanks for the project, and if there's any more work I can do in the future, just let me know."

This (1) sets a firm date (even if his answer is "ah, well in the next week or two...") and (2) keeps it friendly. Personally, I wouldn't acknowledge that this is a significant financial issue for you. It doesn't matter. You're entitled to on-time payment whether you have one dollar or ten million.
Ignoring the fact that the hardware design is widely lauded as outpacing the competition, your argument is sort of like saying that two books are fundamentally the same if they're made of the same materials. Most users could care less if the computer's running on an x86 or PowerPC chip: everything is ultimately subordinate to user experience, cost, availability of desirable software, and interoperability. (At least two of those are highly contingent on the individual user: cost and availability of desirable software. If you're a heavy PC gamer, a Windows PC remains much more desirable than a Mac overall.)

Historically, Macs have owned user experience, but lost on everything else. These days, cost is still relatively high (although historically lower, given the drop in component prices), but the other things have gotten better. Growth of the web, cross-platform file formats, ability to run Windows on Mac hardware, shift in gaming from PCs to consoles, etc. have done a lot to mitigate the disadvantages of Macs.

This, by the way, is coming from someone who'd been using DOS and Windows up until a few years ago.
Wait, why does this strike you as a reasonable article? To me it seems like blatant pandering to the audience.

Sure, lay people want there to be life out there in other places. But this inference doesn't actually hold any water as far as I can see. In the Bayesian formalism, the question to ask is: why do you have such a high prior probability to there being life on titan that mere methane emissions are enough to make that the maximum-a-posteriori hypothesis? Isn't it more plausible that there is some other non-life chemical process generating methane? Sure, the article gives a token acknowledgment that "the authors of the latter paper provide a variety of ways to account for the acetylene shortage that don't involve an organism"... but the title of the article is pretty clearly engineered to pander to the prejudices of a scientifically clueless audience.

Indeed. The code is even simpler, and you're getting the shell out of the equation. Remember that bash bug from late last year?

Also the use of the phrase "bare metal" in reference to a ruby CGI script is pretty lulzy. I suppose thats the new normal. The embedded programmers of the world must feel pretty annoyed when people do that. I suppose they're too high on magic smoke to care.
As well as the extensively reviewed, recommended, and appraised "Code Complete" [0] by Steve McConnell

I'm working my way through it now (1+ year of professional experience) and it is a magnificent way to improve the quality of your code. I read it off and on, my goal is only 40 pages a week so that I'll make sure to find the time to do it (I'm doing a masters program and enjoy living in NYC too so setting huge goals doesn't work well for me).

Every time I crack it open, I find myself inspired to write better, clearer, and more concise code. Sometimes you just need a nudge to get back into doing things you already know you should be doing.

Finally, constantly learning, I think, is the best way to become a proficient, and then skillful professional software engineer. Many programmers become proficient and then level off. And that's good enough. But if you truly wanted to become one of the top 5% in your field you need to do something called deliberate practice. Reading 'Talent is Overrated' [1] really exposed me to the theory of constantly challenging yourself in order to grow. I really recommend it, I find myself trying to apply the theories to all areas of my life.

I'm having a hard time seeing how suborbitals would be any better for terrorists. It's only going so fast and high when it's in the earlier stages of the flight, and at that point it'll be computer-controlled just like any orbital rocket. Maybe as it comes in to land it'll be controlled by a pilot on board, but by then it's going a lot slower. It also won't have the large tanks full of fuel that made the 9/11 impacts so damaging.
Well, on the one hand, GWT and Angular 1.x both still work. They might not be new and shiny anymore, but they do still get the job done.

Something I've been noticing lately is the disappearance of the “power user”.
