The best trick is to batch it. Fill your freezer with tasty, quality foods which can be made in nice big batches: stew, casserole, bolognaise (which can be quickly converted to chilli), curry, dal, etc.

All of the above foods can be reheated quickly, can be eaten in a variety of ways (various carb-staples & veg), and you can tweak the recipe each time if you like.

If you don't have much money, or don't want to eat much meat, you can add as much beans/potatoes to the basic dish as you like, and/or eat small portions combined with whatever staples you prefer.

Every week cook a big batch of something. Soon you'll have a freezer full of a variety of tasty, nurtitious goodness.
It'll be interesting to see if Steve's pragmatism regarding the pointlessness of music DRM extends to potentially sacrificing Pixar profits when the next order-of-magnitude increase in home broadband puts video DRM in exactly the same position as music DRM is today...

It's not like you can walk into a Starbucks and use their restroom

Why not? And anyway, they could at least try to do it in semi-privacy - maybe behind a building, or in the bushes, or something. No, it seems almost deliberate to me, or alternatively so zonked out on drugs/malice that they just couldn't give a damn. Either way it's not just a lack of facilities. We've all been in a strange part of the city we don't know well, no toilets anywhere and busting to go. We all somehow found some kind of semi-acceptable solution that didn't involve shitting on someone's fence.

I have no idea why it's different in SF but these things just don't happen elsewhere, so there must be some reason for it.

Cheap and fast: PASTA

Base for the pasta:
- boil the water and salt it
- add pasta (but please, don't overcook it, just stick to the box instruction. Barilla is an excellent brand and decently priced)

Sauces for the pasta

Tuna Pasta
- In a small pot add a spoon of olive oil and diced onion, crushed red pepper, and stir-fry it.
- When the onion looks "gold" add a can of tuna (drain the water from the can first) and a can of tomato sauce.
- let cook for 15 minutes medium heat

Pasta Carbonara
- on a small pan stir-fry some cured bacon
- in a bowl beat 1 egg, a spoon of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of parmigiano cheese.
- when the pasta is ready add first the bacon with its oil and then the mix from the bowl
Why does this matter? Use different readers. Voila, you can read what you buy. Worry less. Be happy more.
I agree with you - my experience has been the same. In the past you'd have had to work out a patch by hand and then perhaps publish it somewhere, which was a pain to do and so didn't happen often.

Now the tools have improved making this much easier and so is happening much more everywhere. I have personal branches of the Linux kernel and a dozen or more libraries, and can keep them up to date easily.

But the process remains the same. Your fork is no doubt invaluable to you, but unless the original maintainer pulls your patch, your fork is likely to be a dead end in terms of development - except perhaps for the odd person who needs to fix the same bug and finds your patch.

My point is that the development model has not changed. The maintainer can still optionally pull in your patch, or not. Most users will continue using the maintainer's releases. If the maintainer drops the ball then there will be a fork - but that would have happened in the past anyway.

Distributed version control has been a revolution - but a revolution in tooling, not of the centralised release model.
What exactly does cleaning rice consist of? I thought that just meant "run some water over it."
Yeah - especially metals like Fe, Co, and Ni where the conduction electrons are derived from the atom's d-orbitals. The hopping is one of the key elements of the "hubbard" model. This viewpoint doesn't add very much if you want to calculate the conductivity or optical properties, but it is essential for understanding the magnetism of these materials.

What bugged me about this article was that without doing a quantitative analysis of a model and comparing it's predictions to experiments - physical interpretations like whether the electrons are hopping or not are so ambiguous that they are effectively meaningless.
Blueberries are one of the cheapest foods that prevent the genesis of new blood vessels (and therefore is a good cancer fighting food). Carrots taste much less good than blueberries. Frozen blueberries are only slightly less tasty than ice cream and are nutritious as hell.
Even if there is a negative trend, it will "bottom out": it's impossible to not have open computers somewhere, as something has to run the SDKs for all the consumer electronics platforms!
He acknowledges that Doctorow, Pilgrim, and Payne have a point and then fails to address the real issue

Except the "real issue" isn't actually an argument either. There is a tradeoff happening here: for the average non-programmer, devices which have at least a certain level of "no user-serviceable parts inside" can be made to be much simpler, much easier to use and at least slightly more secure (in that attacks which depend on duping a user into installing/executing malware will fail) then devices which are completely "tinkerable".

The problem lies in failing to acknowledge that this tradeoff exists or that it should be considered on its merits rather than ideologically rejected out of hand; this takes it from the level of rational argument down to the level of blindly applying dogma.

Most of the rest of the "argument" is merely a classic slippery slope (allowing just a few devices to have just a little bit of control built in is assumed to lead automatically to all devices having total control built in), and as such doesn't really stand up on its own.

Protein powder is great. It's so easy to make and filling. Add a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and you're good to go.
i think we both know that the particular 13 year old mention in this article is rare

I think most of the commentaries have overlooked the fact that the people who fondly remember typing in programs from the back pages of magazines are themselves extreme outliers, and only become more so with the passage of time. Many more programmers today get their start playing around with web technologies, for example, or through simply deciding to take some classes in college and learn how to do stuff.
We need to talk ASAP. j@cloudomatic.com (Normally I'd email, but there isn't a direct one in your profile).
Yep, keyword bookmarks have had a significant impact on the way I search with a web browser. Their use eliminates the layer of complexity of visiting search hub services (like DuckDuckGo or YubNub) and feels more responsive than using a separate search box in the browser.

I've done DuckDuckGo searches with "d" for a little while now.
I do have both, although I usually use the fridge.

I picked up this habit in China, where it seemed to be common to cook food and leave it out, covered with a net to keep mosquitos out. So I think whether or not you get really sick from this depends on your immune system.

That being said, you're right there can still be significant bacterial growth in a fridge.
Learn to Bake
Required Hardware: The best food hack ever is as older than the origins of the word "hack" and almost every one has one: its called an oven.

The best part of baking is all the wonderful things that can be hacked together to improve your daily caffeine supply. From biscuits/cookies, cakes, coffee cake, yummy biscotties, and so so much more.

--BAKING HACK README--

Dependencies: Than on to ready-to-raise flour, eggs, water, and butter. With those four ingredients you can begin an template for many baking projects.

Recommended Ingredients: Sugar, Salt, Cinnamon, and Milk.

Optional Ingredients: Fruits, Veggies, Meats, and just about about any thing.

Optional Hardware: Aluminum foil and any of many various baking pans, e.g.: Cookie Sheets, Pie pans, Muffin pans, Bread pans, Pie pans, and etc.

To prove your "leet skillz": try replacing any said pan with an aluminum foil struct of a similar thickness & shape. Though for reasons of taste & safety this may also prove your absolute stupidity as well. But who care's cause you're leet: right? :-)

Now: go get baked!

Growth of Unpaid Internships May Be Illegal, Officials Say
I've consistently enjoyed a can of fat-free refried beans, salsa, corn or flour tortillas, and (optionally) some shredded cheese.
My list is similar. Healthy, cheap, and dead easy to prepare.

1. Cereal and milk

2. Oatmeal

3. Rice and beans

- You have to soak the beans overnight before you cook them
- After that, you cook them with rice in a rice cooker
- After they're cooked, mix in some frozen vegetables and cook for a while longer to thaw the vegetables
- Some kind of sweet and sour sauce is good with this

4. Noodles (all kinds)

- You can also cook pasta in a rice cooker
- Add frozen vegetables to this too
- And tomato sauce (of course)

5. Chips

- The baked variety are healthier and taste better (imo)

6. Fish

- Buy frozen filets, cook in microwave

7. Melons

- Cut off the rind with a big knife
- Cut the flesh up into chunks
- Stick the chunks in tupperware and refrigerate

8. Peanut Butter

9. Whole-grain bread

10. Mixed Nuts

11. Carrots

- Baby carrots are good snacks

12. Apples, oranges, and bananas

13. Cookies

14. Deli cheese

- My favorite is gouda

Ok, those last two aren't so healthy, but they're delicious enough to be worth it imho.

(Also, I'm pescatarian if you couldn't tell.)
Alternate day fasting. Cut your work in half, drop your food budget by 2/3 or so.

Cook lentil + onion + carrot + split pea soup in a pot on the weekend, then freeze it in portion sized boxes for the coming week. Buy bread with very high fiber content to go with it. That makes for one meal a day that's so easy no-one can mess it up, and doesn't take more than two hours a week to arrange in advance.
I normally stay out of Apple related discussions, because no matter how often people say the contrary, they reek of Fanboy. Tonight, I've just had my share to drink and want to give my peace.

Apple is releasing a new device. With this, they are continuing a quite recent trend of hand(ish) held devices that oppose what we generally think of when it comes to computers.

On one hand, we don't look at most phones and wonder why we can't hack them to pieces. On the other hand, Apple can't stop touting Computer Revolution XYZ as the most incredible thing the technologically inclined have ever laid eyes upon.

The problem is they don't market their items toward us. They tell us these incredible things about how it does XYZ and does it so well... then they air commercials about how you can find a restaurant, or get directions to a movie theater, or (for the love of God) check your e-mail as you talk to someone.

As complete and utter nerds, we grok this device as a leap in handheld, touch-it-till-it-loves-you computing. Apple tells us it is... then they turn around and tell the rest of the world they can read books and download new ones for $10.
That's been my experience as well. Also, searching for information on a very specific phrase (e.g. an error or an API method) doesn't yield best results for me.

That's why I was happy to discover !g , as it allows me to google when I need to, but still use DDG in the searchbox.
That man is clearly not from the future.

I, on the other hand, am from the future. And in that future, I am the only man. Since it was not me that was arrested at the LHC, it follows logically that he was not from the future. I, however, will soon be taking a long and much needed vacation back to the future, and when I return from vacation, back to the present time, I will make it a point to appear back at the LHC, a few seconds before that other man appears, and I will trip that man as he walks by.

And then I will take his wallet.
What it looks like is a virus

Because it happens to use a base64-encoded string to obscure some of what it's doing? Yes, there's malware which does that, but this is also such an ancient trick in humorous code obfuscation that it seems silly to jump to the level of paranoia you're displaying (especially given that A) it's by a well-known member of the Python community and B) it was published April 1).

This is good advice. Programmers and writers need to fall in love with language, learn to think logically, and come to terms with classical rhetoric. Dick Gabriel is a master of all three. Read his essays at http://www.dreamsongs.com. Read his book Patterns of Software book, inspired by the work of Christopher Alexander.
A friend of mine runs a blog called BrokeAss Gourmet, which focuses on cheap and easy to make meals http://www.brokeassgourmet.com/

It's not exactly $1 per meal cooking, but you can make a good meal for not all that much (especially because, if you're single, one recipe will yield multiple servings)
The SMS and C64 were 8 bit systems, though too, solidly from the same generation as the NES. They don't strongly outclass the NES, just enough that the music is more enjoyable.

Compare Skate or Die on NES to the C64 version - the title song is so much more rockin'. Or any NES RPG to Phantasy Star or Ys for the SMS... the difference is profound.
How is it a special right, the settlement basically grants them a special license. The reason they had to go to court is because no one would give them a license for free publication so they played the 'orphan' card and got the other party to the table for a settlement.

Please don't argue the naive copyright shouldn't exist because my-head-is-stuck-so-far-in-the-sand-I-hit-rock-and-forgot-common-sense angle. With hollywood virtually cloning every successful movie that has ever existed, do we really want to give them a free pass to actually clone every successful movie that has ever existed? As for every successful book/movie/TV franchise to ever exist, well they'd be gone out the window with masses of meaningless fan-wank shot out by every publisher known to man trying to make a dollar. Copyright has an important clause in it of preventing derivative works by unauthorised people, this means that Harry Potter remains being written by Rowling and actually ends in a way fans are likely to actually enjoy rather than see a Harry Potter: Failed To Graduate Again - New Mystery Edition!

By removing copyright you negatively effect the common person more than you positively affect them. For all I know you could be a fantastic photographer, I myself have worked as a reviewer and have sold my work, you as a photographer have all the rights to sell your photographs no matter where you've posted them. Do you really want to give any company permission to take your photographs from your Flickr account and use them in a national campaign without your permission? Or would you prefer to get the $20,000 check that those license purchases usually come with?

The RIAA and MPAA are the problem, not copyright. The better way to resolve this problem is to reform copyright to limit actions taken on the copyright holders behalf without the copyright holders permission. Legally speaking the copyright holder has to be the person to file the claim, however due to the licensing agreements musicians sign with their label they're actually giving license authority to the MPAA too, which they actually don't agree too.
Its not a good solution but my plan is to purchase only fiction or items I don't plan on reading again. Unfortantly my local library will miss out as I typically give it the books I no longer need to keep as a reference.
Just dropped you a line!
Isn't that a bit like driving a nail with a tactical nuke?

If you want a government program to deliver mail to obscure locations at a loss, create a program to do that. There's no reason for the government to assume responsibility for delivering all mail, and especially no reason for it to make it illegal for others to deliver mail!

And especially, especially no reason to protect the program from being cut as mail slowly becomes obsolete.

Must government insist on solving 100% of the problem when it doesn't trust the free market to handle that 0.5% case?
I echo your choice of "green smoothies" - they're an outstanding solution to the cheap, fast, and healthy requirements. Though like you, the reactions I get from people generally involve disgust, even when those same people will happily pay $4 or $5 for essentially the same concept/drink at a health food store, for a quarter of the quantity and quality. Hell, half the drink may be ground-up ice and they only get half a banana too.

Most people are not rational, especially when it comes to food.
The openness issue is that Apple does not allow installs of apps outside of the app store, period. (yes, I know about ad-hoc distribution, and the enterprise program, those are very limited and still tightly controlled by Apple).

Contrast with Android, which has a market with the same advantages you list (infrastructure, payment processing, search for apps, etc.), but also allows users to install apps from other sources if they so choose, at their own risk.

Note that I'm comparing the two models, not the execution - I think Apple still has superior execution, even if I don't like the model they chose.
Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, has a video titled 'Sugar: The Bitter Truth' where he talks about how fructose (sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose via sucrase) shuts down the signal to stop eating.

If you eat a diet with less fructose, you will eat less.

You can do a search on 'fructose intolerance diet' which is used by people who cannot metabolize fructose. It shows you how to reduce the amount of fructose you consume.

To make bread without using sugar, you can do a search on 'The Minimalist' and 'no knead bread'. Making bread yourself is cheaper than buying it.
No problem, register the internships as training courses and charge the little idiots/candidates for working there
Exactly. There are more than a million natives of Haiti living outside their country, many presumably with potentially decent internet access.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_diaspora

And even people who don't have internet access at home can go to an internet shop, translate and print a bunch of documents, and take them home to read offline. So Google is potentially benefitting millions of people by providing this service.
There's a whole lot of "why I like/don't like the iPad" stories that seem to poke holes in your theory. Even in niche communities, the (relative) junk can worm its way to the top.

EDIT: Didn't notice axod's post deeper in the thread with the same point. Upvoted him.
Well, that's less than 3 months away. Not so bad.

1.9.2 release plan, for those who missed it:

- 31 Mar. freeze the spec
- 30 Apr. freeze the code
- 31 May. release 1.9.2-preview2
- 30 Jun. release 1.9.2-rc
- 31 Jul. release 1.9.2-p0
Put it in a bowl. Cover with water. Swish it around until the water is cloudy. Drain. Add more water. Repeat until water stays clear.

On the other hand, I kind of like all of that excess starch or whatever.
Steaming frozen veggies is faster and tastes better than boiling. You can do it in the same pot, just use about 1/4 as much water.

If we really want to get idealogical about it any generic x86 machine isn't going to pass the freedom test. None of Intel's x86 chips are open designs. They probably ship with a closed source BIOS and maybe even with a closed source operating system by default. I suppose I could buy it and install Linux BIOS + Linux OS but ideologically I can't justify supporting these tyrannical companies. So clearly if you buy any x86 computer you are hurting children. To truly be free you must build your own computer from scratch.
Maybe. Even though the travel time by public transportation might mistakenly be perceived to be longer than it is doesn't imply that the actual travel time is acceptable.

Government to Require In-School Repayment of Federal Student Loans
It would be more expensive, not less. The post office currently operates as efficiently as it does because of the economies of scale, and as such is close to break even.

It's not like the free market doesn't compete. UPS and FedEx are still around, for example, just not on bulk mail and first class. It also connects with other postal services in other countries, and reciprocity agreements are governed by treaties, making a true free market solution incongruous with the rest of the world.

PS -- the post office is the second oldest institution in the US, and government-controlled postal services go back to (at least) Darius I in Persia. There's more precedent for a privatized military.
Really that entire site is wonderful, and quite varied. But note that it's largely not solid reference material (aside from perhaps portions of the electricity stuff), it's more fun and interesting things to play with / think about, that often require some knowledge of science to understand or make work or show why they can't work. And a little bit of crackpottery, some of which is even explicitly labeled as such.
