One of the best airline meals I've had was with Korean Air: what you got was a bowl of plain steamed white rice, a bowl of vegetable soup, and a variety of cold pickles and sauces which you added to the rice (including a tube of really nice mild chili sauce which I've never been able to track down).

All of which, of course, worked fine on a plane --- there wasn't anything which could go... weird and crusty... the way a lot of airline food does. And it tasted good, too.

The worst meal I had was with Air 2000 in probably about 1990. It was a intra-European charter flight, from Glasgow to Cyprus, and the meal was hilarious. Everything that should have been dry was soggy, everything that should have been moist was dry. Teenage me was particularly impressed by the croissant, which was completely limp (and moist, and greasy).

It did come with a little pot of pink, though. I have a bit of a soft spot for airline pink, even though I have no idea what it was. You don't get it any more.

BTW, if you want to be able to eat on a plane without elbowing your neighbour in the ribs, take chopsticks.

With rear-wheel drive, acceleration transfers most of the vehicle weight to the rear wheels. That's why funny cars do wheelies. That doesn't work so well for front-wheel drive, so those vehicles can't accelerate as quickly as rear-wheel drive vehicles. With four-wheel drive, weight transfer cuts both ways, but more rubber on the road helps, for sure. Low center of gravity helps too, I think.
I flew a ten hour flight from Europe to LAX on Norwegian and no meals were served (you could buy food though). First time I've been on a flight that long with optional food.

If this were true than 99% of software wouldn't be such crap.
Manuals are better for fuel economy because they are more efficient. A torque converter loses more power as part of its design, it is unavoidable.

Manual transmissions are also typically lighter which also results in an efficiency gain.

If you prefer an auto that's fine, you're in a huge majority. But the idea that they are more efficient than manuals is factually wrong.

If you run across an individual model of car where the EPA estimates give an advantage to the auto that is because of gearing and nothing else. That tells you the manual transmission was given much more aggressive or "sporty" gearing, probably starting with the final drive ratio.

But that's a rare situation.

> Surely the same data that is used for automatic braking, lane assist etc could be used to improve timings on automatic gear shifts?

I don't think that data is very useful in city driving where most of the shifting happens. No radar or lane detector can detect my intention of taking the next exit on the left.

That being said, I remember reading a piece a while back about a car manufacturer working on linking the car's navigation/GPS to the automatic transmission. So as long as you enter the destination in the GPS it can make more informed decisions.

The only offsite you have is at your parents, and is only "uploaded" every 6 months.

Isn't it just better and easier (at least long term) to just use duplicity (or equivalent) and sync your NAS to any backend (Drive/Onedrive/Dropbox/Hubic/etc)? And then just use your NAS as your "true" storage? Then it'll just run until your configuration changes (NAS switch, service discontinued, etc) at which point you reconfigure it once.
I am big, so I dislike having a seat tray in my lap for an hour or more. Nowadays I just skip the airline meal and pack a sandwich in my carry-on. Bad airline food is just not worth the 5$ savings.

You most likely got Bibimbap, with Gochujang sauce (the chili sauce). Bibimbap is one of the Korean signature dishes, and Gochujang a staple ingredient of Korean food.

On flights to Korea with Korean Air, and other airlines, Bibimbap is pretty much guaranteed. I agree that it works very well.

>I was very surprised at how much torque the car had.

The torque curve on EVs is awesome for sure; I can't wait to own one. But I'll bet that most people have never driven a ICE car with any real power or an automatic transmission tuned for acceleration as opposed to gas mileage. They also "take off" with minimal lag.
Agreed, I recently flew a few trans-Pacific hops on non-American carriers in business class and service and food was excellent.

Ask HN: Is my project at a disadvantage for being hosted on a GitHub competitor?
I have a number of open source projects hosted on sites that I see as alternatives to Github (gitlab, bitbucket and others).

I sometimes feel that my projects are at a major disadvantage for not being on github where all the mindshare seems to be. Do you feel this is true? If so, can we break the github more-or-less-monopoly?

(for the record, I think github is awesome and they provide a great product free of charge. I just don't want them to be the only player in the market)
As an aside: Spinning-rust hard drives are rated in the hundreds of Gs. While the earth only pulls with 1G, if you drop the drive onto a hard surface, the sudden stop is an acceleration of hundreds of Gs, due to the very short time frame.
isn't it basically a microwave food unless business/1st class?
Yes, people talk about fuel efficiency but the differences are effectively negligible and more dependent on driving style than manual vs automatic transmission.

The reason lots of people drive manual by choice is simply because of the way it FEELS. The driving experience is more engaging and stimulating. I think people driving manual in the city pay more attention simply because they have to.
From trivial to apply app and OS updates to code signing and disabled sideloading, the mobile platforms (either one) make it really much harder to fall prey than on desktop OSes, by design.

I think the trick to good airline food in economy is to specify a dietary restriction. I have been doing this for a while now and the end result is that you typically get slightly better food and you definitely get it faster no matter where in the plan you sit.

Also it turns out that you can have asian style food on most routes in the world even if it's typically not offered otherwise.

Thanks for the link. This seems to be a mix of straight-out fakes, misunderstandings, inaccuracies, missing police reports (not necessarily a proof for anything) etc.

Is there an analyses that goes a bit further, maybe looking at the top X shared stories and counting how many of them turned out to be false vs. how many could be confirmed vs. how many we just can't proof or disproof? I think something like that would be needed to make a blanket statement like "those fake viral stories."

Most of Microsoft technologies customers are orthodox enterprise companies. They're still using VB and SourceSafe and will not be attracted by ML-like language. So Microsoft is marketing F# cautiously.

But unlike Java world where J2EE suits and Scala/Clojure hipsters coexist (but hugely separated), .NET is in just beginning of transition from Windows-only Visual Studio-only. It's hard to convince people outside of old Windows Server .NET camp to even try these technologies. Recently I tried F#: build process is still painful, involving msbuild files designed for IDE first, build system second, based on XML, with reverse slashes and absolute paths, reminded me of mix between Windows Registry and Apache Ant. MSDN is painful and enterprisey, with 5-10 second page load times.

F# is quite nice (much cleaner and simplier than Scala for example) but still not feels really great. I can't figure out how to do basic polymorphism in it: someone recommended to use classes and interfaces but I don't want OOP at all. Standard library has few polymorphism too: Seq.map, List.map, Set.map. Records are great but type inference behaves strangely.
Feel free to ask anything or provide feedback. Thanks
> Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Go's type system enforces you check and handle errors either

Go's type system doesn't, but the compiler will in a good number of cases. For example, this will produce a compile time error:

value, err := Foo()
fmt.Println(value)

It produces an error because `err` was declared and unused.

The following defeats this check though:

value, _ := Foo()
// Bar returns one value: an error
_ = Bar()
Bar()

The above list probably isn't exhaustive.
I had a similar experience with Asiana airlines, except they offered one authentic Korean and one American style dish as the entree. My girlfriend got one and I got the other to share and compare.

This is worthwhile. Often the vegetation option is some Indian curry with rice (dal, chickpea, etc), or something else simple that stands up to reheating a bit better than average.

This is no implementation detail and has nothing to do with overall memory use. It has to do with how much memory is copied (an operation that consumes time) per invocation. IL is the wrong level to look at this.

In the by-value case: a stack frame of 192 bytes is allocated (+ space for other locals). The values of the matrices are copied into it from the parent stack frame (128 bytes). The method does its work and then calls "new Matrix". This occupies the final 64 bytes. Immediately this value is copied out of the method to the parent stack frame.

In the by-ref case: a stack frame of 0 bytes is copied (+ space for other locals). The pointers to the two matrices are passed in, as well as a pointer to the memory for the result. The method does its work and then calls "new Matrix". The result of the .ctor is stored directly in the calling stack frame.

You might consider that this is nit-picking, but consider that this has to happen 60 times per second. Calculating an MVP matrix for 1000 objects 60 times per second, results in 32MB of memory copied around per second. That assumes you are doing no additional math (which is definitely not the case). The performance benefit is substantial enough that even XNA had these overloads (which is where I think the workaround originated)[1].

This works for me as well. If there's no option to preorder, usually there's a pasta option that's passable.
Why do they feel the need to serve full lunches anyway. Maybe its necessary for transocean flights, but i dislike food beyond snacks in shorter flights. Bad eating experience, smells etc. I didn't pay to fly on a packed moving restaurant. And the worst are people who drink a few glasses of wine.
The US is richer than Europe, excepting like Switzerland and such. When manuals became available they were a luxury. A luxury Americans could more easily afford. And so, like many other luxuries, they became common over time.
Hi Peter - I should have specified that this is for manual shift. What sort of car do you have if you don't mind me asking? (And is it Ruby Red? :) )
It's not uncommon for people to be in a rush to or from a flight, so having no food whatsoever wouldn't work for a lot of people. Leaving quality aside, eating on the plane is rather time efficient considering all the other tasks and stress involved in a long trip.

I think the comedy value of the shock on people's faces when you pay at a place with contactless (some bigger shops have it) with Apple Pay is brilliant, though.
Disengaging the clutch is not recommended, since it modifies the balance of the car. When you are accelerating, the rear wheels are supposed to be under more pressure, then have better grip. The opposite when using the brakes. Not having that balance (for which the car is designed/tested) can lead to dangerous situations in certain conditions. Also, the gain in gas consumption is very debatable.

Agree, calling Prius transimission a "CVT" is understatement, "electro-mechanical torque converter" would be more accurate term. Despite the Prius drivers having a reputation of being slow, the car is pretty quick, especially from red light start. Actually it makes you feel that other cars accelerate annoyingly slowly.

Slightly offtopic (although the title contains "portable"): it often saddens me that purely mathematical functions like these are so tightly coupled to implementation language (even though there are three different language bindings here). Shouldn't the programming community have advanced past that point by now?
I think the basic problem is simply that the food is "free". People choose flights on the basis of schedules and routes, and won't actually pay more for a better meal. Given the volumes of food involved, and the competition in the industry, shaving a few dollars or cents off each meal is always going to be an attractive option for airlines.

If it were like on the ground, where you could choose nothing for $0, something cheap but edible for $10, of something nice for $30, then the quality would probably be rather better.
Just have to hold your food on the brake?

It's a pain...and depending on the break, it really may become pain.

Oh, with an automatic you have the option of putting it in Park also. Certainly, it's a good idea to do that if you're stopped for more than a few seconds. You don't have to keep your foot on the brake, but doing so is enough to activate stop/start.

Controversial New UK ISP Internet Snooping Bill Becoming Law
I think it depends.

Last year, I went from Frankfurt to SF with United and food was bad. The plane was old, service was sloppy, no seat-back entertainment etc, almost everything was bad.

Went SF to Zurich to Istanbul in return with Swiss and food was quite good for my taste, Swiss also served quality chocolate twice which was a nice surprise. Along with presents to kids (books, coloring book, crayons etc.) it was more than OK IMO. Last month, went Istanbul - Bangkok with Turkish Airlines[1] and upgraded to business in return flight. Food was delicious both in economy and business.

I don't know Swiss, but Turkish Airlines' profitability fluctuates quarter to quarter and I know that they're heavily subsidized by government for political reasons, so the food they serve might not be of reasonable quality for a company totally moved by market forces.

I know about Fody but I don't think it would help with custom logic inside setter (not just PropertyChanged call).
A return means copying that value on the stack and depending on its size, it can be expensive. In this case we're talking about a matrix, so that's not just one 32 or 64 bytes pointer.
