real simple googling points out what I've read in several preservation books. Per wikipedia: "In the process of food preservation, potassium nitrate has been a common ingredient of salted meat since the Middle Ages"

SaltPeter has been around for a long time. Given that nitrates/nitrites help with botulism and the age of discovery & uses, I'd be surprised if it was a modern (post 1800's) thing, and wiki backs me up. For sure by the time Europeans were heavily in north america it would be in wide spread use. I mean they were using it for gunpowder too :)

When using them, you don't use much, but you use it. It also means you can use less regular salt.
> You're right about "hate speech" as a legal term, but I don't think the CEO of a non-profit speaking to his employees requires that level of scrutiny.

When you're talking about firing someone over a thing, it's a good idea to be precise IMO. FWIW I'd be totally fine if he had said that he intends to fire that employee for claiming represent Mozilla the organization (or at least its employees) in a public forum. But calling it "hate speech" dilutes the term.

To my mind "Hate speech" != "hateful speech" - no?
As I understand, they aren't seeking venture capital backing, so progress is slow. I know they have (had) plans to implement a Mill on an FPGA, but even going to a usable ASIC will probably be a challenge.

It's a major architectural change as well. Most existing systems rely on virtual memory, which the Mill doesn't support.

Well I have a mix of their free licenses (for open source projects) and paid licenses. I did pay for PyCharm and PHPStorm (and upgrades). Needless to say I do use commercial versions of all of them on an almost daily basis and I couldn't use anything else.

I could be wrong - but the way I understand IntelliJ language plugins is just really code autocomplete/syntax highlighting. PyCharm and PHPstorm have strong integration with the languages (debugging, inspectors, etc).

As an aside - for an individual license for IntelliJ $200 isn't a lot. Totally not rubbing it in but I've spent thousands of dollars on Visual Studio subscriptions (and I think they gave me a lifetime subscription of $50/month to Azure...). Check out bizspark - I definitely recommend it. Microsoft even waived the graduation fee for me.

Depends on the recruiter. I've got one recruiter who's a former engineer that's been great (Noah of ScopusIT). I'd also second the FILD "devops" team for good work, although they have less background. I've also worked with some car salesmen types like Talend, which I've been disappointed by (Talend has been especially bad due to their failure to keep good notes)

Most likely depending on your experience. If you find yourself having trouble getting interviews start talking to recruiters. I will say that almost every recruiter I've worked with has gotten me into interviews quickly (within 2 weeks). They may also help you in interview prep. If you're getting interviews by yourself you probably don't need them

Definitely not going to be a medal in Rio, that's now less than 1 year away and he's totalling just under 300kg, when the bronze in 2012 took a total of 332kg alone, and everyone who's lifting in the 330 range is about 20 years old. He'll make gains but I think it'll be too early for him at 16 to win a medal. (like his trainer said).

In 2016, very possible. He's definitely well on his way. I think the main thing to know is that he's not just a US nationals champ at his age (a country who won 0 WL medals at the olympics in 2012, i.e. not super significant). But rather that at his age, he is the nr 1 ranked in the world by the international weightlifting federation. 20 people lift more than he does, but they're all older by at least 1 full year (and others well into their 30s by now). One can wonder if he has what it takes to increase by 35-40kg in the next 5 years. He added as much over the last 12 months, but of course it gets exponentially more difficult as you go up. On paper it looks like he can do it but 5 years of dedication is a long time, and it's likely that he'll have to jump a weight division as he grows into an adolescent body. We'll have to see!
Kale was in heavy use in the 19th century (re Wikipedia and other sources). Kale and Chard are also heartier plants and can be grown late in the year, giving you those fresh leafy greens way after other stuff gives up. Given that Kale gets it's name from the Scott's Irish... and that That area was 57% english, 25% scott, 9% irish... yeah they very likely ate kale. Fatback too. Probbably whole parts of the hog. The corn for the cornbread, however, most likely went into whiskey depending on the age of your great^3 as up until prohibition, thanks to Andrew Jackson, it was one of the most efficient ways to move corn around (in barrels of distillate), as ~10 bushels -> 1Bbl of Whiskey.

Quinoa, however, was much later, coming not from europe, but peru.

> Most existing systems rely on virtual memory, which the Mill doesn't support.

I believe you're mistaken. The Mill does support virtual memory; the main differences to most systems are that its caches use virtual addresses (the TLB is between the L2 cache and the DRAM), and that it's a single-address-space architecture.

It's still a nonsense idea, and panders to the myth that people from a hundred years ago knew how to do things "right", and we've somehow forgotten. In actuality, food quality now is better than ever before, regardless of the fear mongering. People are healthier, live longer, and are larger of frame because of the better nutrition. In great-grandmother's time things like rickets were much more prevalent than today. Ye Olde Folks got things wrong left, right, and centre, and we get fewer things wrong today.

Far better than the throwaway "What Would Granny Do?" is "Understand How Food Works". Not to mention staples of alternative cuisines - for example, my great-grandmother would not recognise tofu as a food, yet would recognise Spam.
The political factors that led to the adoption of Linux as a defacto standard are endlessly interesting to me. As programmers we like to think of ourselves as objective to the hilt, but the reality is that at some point the pragmatic choice is to capitulate to a common standard for the sake of higher-level efforts. In many ways this is purely a political decision because we don't yet see the fallout from the tradeoffs made, and by the time we do it's too late to go back and rebuild the foundations.

We can't go back now and replace UNIX because we've too much invested in it and there's work to be done.
For us, it started on OpenWRT blogs, scouring Alibaba and seeing who got back to us. Later it was email lists and the network of our accelerator.

If I was going to custom design, i'd be going to maker meetups in your city, or applying to something like Hxlr8. There are also supplier/customer places that do matchmaking with additional services for a fee (HWTrek for example). I didn't use any.

Audio streaming with powerful tools
Audio Streaming is not just the uploading of files and hitting play to send the stream to end listeners. Krad Radio has taken the front march to make it possible for music creators and online DJs to stream audio and make the use of powerful tools such as the ability to do mixing live, the use of specials effects and adjusting with an Equalizer, and the creations of multiple playlists for the audio streamer operator to use. The ability to launch an audio stream from any where with just a simple browser and to reach audiences world wide is powerful.
"The problem is not figuring out what sizes things are, but the routing"

Aha! Thanks.

"Given the instructions are disjoint and they only need synchronization at jumps"

But they are (AFAIK) executing a single thread of execution, so creating those disjoint streams in general will be far from easy, won't it? if it were possible to do that, we would see a 2x speed up of single-threaded code on CPUs with two cores.

The authors worry that the ideas in Plan 9 will be lost if more people don't take it up, but I wonder if that is true if many of the original authors are still alive, creating software and teaching others? Only Dennis Ritchie has left us.

The Plan 9 team was initially led by Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, Dave Presotto and Phil Winterbottom, with support from Dennis Ritchie as head of the Computing Techniques Research Department. Over the years, many notable developers have contributed to the project including Brian Kernighan, Tom Duff, Doug McIlroy, Bjarne Stroustrup and Bruce Ellis. [Wikipedia]
Its also interesting the on-device readout for the new alloy does not show a tungsten peak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChUsy8gWwvo&feature=youtu.be...

The printout shows it, but is ~.08% off from 100%, which I assume is the Mg peak. But its a pretty big swing to go from no Tungsten to .106% Tungsten. I'm inclined to believe its a misread due to sandpaper or the coating (tungsten carbide coating on aluminum is very much a thing).

I know metallography is expensive, but its weird to me to have such cool gizmo for XRF and to have a lab do such analysis and not do something simple like hardness testing. That is cheap and fast. Well, fast anyway. I can't comment on lab larbor costs.

Instead of a lab, hitting up your local university materials lab for a grad student to do a quick hardness test and tensile testing would give very nice information and a basic guess as to type of material. XRD would also be more accurate than XRF I think, with proper preparation. Also, you would never test the cases as-is. The structural variable is small but important. A flat sample is better.
To paraphrase Mark Rippetoe, when you say these foreign athletes are better because they take PEDs, what you're saying is that they are stronger than American weightlifters. One of the problems with American weightlifting training, as Rip argues, anyway, is an overemphasize on technique, and not enough work on basic strength.
To be fair, Japanese strawberries are heaps better since they actually allow the damn things to ripen before they try to sell them. Same goes for tomatoes. Most tomatoes and strawberries sold in the US taste like cold diarrhea in comparison.

Judges already do this and they do it quite well. Have you ever read a court case? They even do it within the social concerns of the time. Look at gay marriage. The major problems with the courts are mandatory sentencing, plea bargains, over the top laws (like some drug laws) and access for the poor. None of these bar the last one would really benefit with technology.

You can do the same at McD's or any major resturant chain. It's not quite as easy as chipolte but it just takes asking. All major chains know their ingredient prices down to the serving and so will sell them that way. McD's just get side of lettuce and a chicken breast or get burgers sans katsup/bun. Rock Bottom will sell a blackened chicken breast and 2 sides of steamed veggies (broccoli/cauliflower) with or without butter for around $5. Slice and dice it. They've been doing this since 2000 at least when I lost a ton of weight on a low carb diet.

Too bad you can't get yogurt at McD's that doesn't have strawberry syrup laced through it and the fruit, or a salad dressing that isn't insane for calories (it's what happens when you add flour and sugar to ranch).

Which is a nice earner for some supermarkets.

For example Sainsbury levy a bag fee on orders delivered to your home, even though the groceries come in crates which you hand back to the driver. It's only 40 pence or thereabouts but cumulatively must be considerable.

This annoyed my wife considerably as she always specifies "no bags". When she complained to Sainsbury they said that this was an averaged fee as their system couldn't charge specific customers for the bags they received.

So she switched to their rivals Tesco who only charge a fee if you request bags.
I think it would be easier to get all these LP's, make a big fund and make follow-on investiment in all of companies portfolio.

better than a LP investing direct in a early-stage startup. This is bad for both, the startups gets an unexperienced investor and the LP don't get to manage portfolio the right way.
After college in America, I went to study in Sweden where education is free. So if money is an issue you can just look outside your comfort zone and try a new studying in a new country. Problem solved.
On the other hand, when you say "most efficient", I'll ask naively -- "most efficient at doing what, exactly?".

If the answer is "generating profit within the current economy" then that clearly isn't always a positive thing. In many cases there are some very negative effects.

I think there is arguably more value in having an additional well-educated poorly-paid person reflecting upon society and suggesting alternative objectives (provided that this can eventually be translated into public debate) - who perhaps never earns very much, and never pays off their student loans - than an additional highly profitable person who is (at best) making us all incrementally more efficient at doing whatever it is precisely that we're already doing (and at worst just reallocating wealth to themselves).

Usually in industrial design when you select a material you do so based off a constraint selection process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_selection

Typically you have material specific constraints (workability, cost, ease of sourcing) and application constraints (for a phone case this would be weight, stiffness, min/max dimensions things like that).

Once you have determined the constraints you can solve for the objective function using numerical methods i.e. Solve all the simultaneous equations.

That will identify the materials which are most suited to the chosen application. And will eliminate materials with drawbacks that cause them to fail to meet the constraints (so you don't end up with a iphone case made from diamond which costs a fortune or from ceramics which weigh a tonne).
In retrospect, I was at an agency for two years before moving to my most recent job at a product – I agree with you that being at a product gets you back to your core engineering skills, however, in the right environment, an agency can expose you to a lot of things you would not otherwise explore in a very short amount of time.

You're entirely right that you get used to delivering working solutions that are ultimately one-off fixes, but at the same time you also discover how to use technologies that speed up your production in a more pragmatic fashion. It's definitely not a product lifecycle, it's a project lifecycle – different but not any less valuable.

Although, it is unfortunate you have no coworkers. The thing I miss most about working at an agency is being able to poll my many developer colleagues to research and discover different approaches to problems. The fast pace of an agency often means that you aren't the first to discover a problem that occurs on a project, and your colleagues are a highly valuable commodity that you don't necessarily get at a product.
Technically speaking nepotism means family but people generally use the term to mean friends and colleagues.

On one hand hiring people you know over people you don't know is bad and corrupt. On the other hand it's literally what everyone does because it's the logical, sane, smart decision to make. The #1 way to hire good people for any company is for employees to recommend friends and past co-workers.
