They are fundamentally different cooking techniques. Immersion cooking, "sous vide", is cooking food in a sealed bag in a water bath.

"instant pot" are more like smart cockpot/pressure cookers where the food is contained a pressurized (sometimes) vessel in air.

Which is better depends on the type of food and cooking technique you wish to utilize.

This is one of the major issues with laws requiring password disclosure.

First of all, a truly careful criminal can use this method to comply with the law while still hiding what they are really after -- negating the usefulness to some extent.

Secondly, once law enforcement catches on to this, they can then claim that someone that does disclose a password actually gave them a plausible deniability or duress key, and they haven't actually given up the real key, and thus the innocent person could potentially be convicted for not giving up a password that doesn't even exist.

agreed. what exactly is the message here?
Oh, I misunderstood what you were suggesting --- I thought you were proposing a new packaging for "sous vide" style cooking.

I get what I can do with a pressure cooker that I can't do with a circulator.

I do not get what I can do with an unpressurized "smart crock pot" that I can't do with a circulator.
Damn, I've just re-watched it, like a dozen times before...

But a question: all those TV cooks trade convenience in front of the camera for hygiene, do they?

Jamie Oliver is my favorite offender, always mixing all kinds of dressings and sauces with his bare hands, then, without even touching a towel, grabbng the refridgerator door.

Here in that video Pépin has just been handling chicken, his hands are covered in grease, and he picks up a pinch of salt from a bowl where the rest theoretically remains for the next five days.

Am I just too extreme?

"They run the OLDEST nuclear reactor of the world"

This is prudent and a wise financial choice, and it might be a hint why they are one of the richest countries in the world. No need to replace this simply because it is old: Rather, that an upgrade would pay for itself or mechanical reasoning. However, I'd assume there is regular testing and maintenance done to avoid some of the mechanical reasoning.

Already working on making an small goat cheese operation. Goats are amazingly cost efficient and reliable.

To all the other jaded developers: I intend to create an small haven of freedom, but need smart people to do it. Something self-organized, self-sustainable and anarchic.

Who is up for it?
This is a misguided rebuttal. Fixated against the a sub-set of users that are clearly and unanimously voice a complaint, when the problems here is apple.

PROs can work with anything, not matter how bad, and get results done.

However, that not mean we are so STUPID to not know when a tool is made for us or not.

Is about a specific spec? NO!.

Is about the trend that Apple have in the whole ecosystem.

Just now, after years waiting for a refresh, what is given is a stronger confirmation that the trend not only is unstoppable but the trade-off is not good enough.
You are mostly too extreme. Home cooks are way more squeamish about proteins than professional cooks and butchers are.

But no part of his technique depends on how casual he is with his proteins. I'm pretty careful about chicken and cross-contamination, and I can execute Pepin's deboning technique in under a minute. I use paper towels, for instance, instead of side towels when breaking down birds.
That's fair. I don't think I've really seen readmes on the github projects people list on their resumes, let alone seeing their stuff published to maven.

I do think the original article suggests that if employers put a lot of stock in github, the coding academy people would quickly have the "best" github pages.

My point is, words are only labels - pointers to concepts. You can't prove facts about objects from just their labels, nor do the labels have causal power over reality. Universe being derived from "uni" doesn't force the concept of universe to be a singleton.

Proliferation of homonyms is another topic altogether; it is an issue, but it's about creating barriers to communication.
I think everyone is missing the point of AMP. Google could have just as easily SEO punished slow sites and had the same effect as amp. If a site was slow you wouldn't see it in search results anyway. Nothing inherent in AMP makes the web any faster than an optimized site.

The whole point of AMP is so that nobody ever really leaves Google. Anyone who thinks otherwise is naïve, and it's pretty fucking obvious with how the AMP UI is setup. People are saying "oh it's okay they'll change the UI when they improve AMP, V2". I doubt it, the UI was built the way it is intentionally to see if they can get away with it. "making the web faster" is just their marketing to get everyone to buy in.

Look, Google made my phone and my web browser. They are my main source of email, news, videos, and content. I spend most of my day using google devices and Google software on Google sites. Now google wants to host every site in the search results for "speed". Seem like a disturbing pattern? The internet needs to push back or be owned by Google. AMP has gone too far.

A sound type system is one that enforces certain runtime behaviors at compile-time.

Using a null reference is not a behavior ether the Java or Scala type systems promise to prevent, just as Rust's type system does not promise to prevent panic!.

Java's type system is unsound if, say, without casting or other "unsafe" operations, we could have a compile-time Integer that is actually a runtime String.

Until it's tested in court on a gray area case, it's hard to know for sure, but I'm pretty confident that UK courts would apply the "reasonable doubt" criterion to the fact that the defendant indeed posesses an encrypted volume they have not provided the keys to.

I.e. if the defendant can reasonably claim that there are no further encrypted volumes on their device, I don't believe they would be imprisoned under this rule.
I found where they hang out in person via meetup and industry associations. I've also looked on Reddit.

The most important difference is the parliamentary sovereignty of the UK. The biggest protector of privacy here in Germany is the constitution, and the Constitutional court rules fairly assertively on issues of privacy and civil rights, so what PM's do or don't do is not that important.

The UK has no such safeguard due to governmental structure.
That's fine, but your argument is effectively that you are screwed no matter what.

If you are truly innocent, the prosecution might claim "oh they have extra keys that they haven't given up", and there is nothing you can do to prove them wrong.

I've had all kinds of problem with outlook.com and other Microsoft related email recipients marking my email as spam. I use Fastmail. Fine with Gmail though.
I've been a Mac user for over ten years, drawn to the platform due to the combination of OS X and solid hardware. Since the disappointing MacBook Pro announcement, I've been preparing to transition myself back to the world of Windows and *nix. I bought myself a refurbished ThinkPad T430 to get myself used to Windows 10 and modern Linux desktop environments, as well as the software running on them. I'm trying to wean myself off OS X and the Mac ecosystem. If it turns out that I'll be able to transition to either Windows or Linux/BSD without too much pain, then sometime next year I plan to buy something like a ThinkPad P50, which has options for Xeon processors and 64 GB RAM. Apple sadly makes nothing like this.

I love OS X and I still believe it's the best desktop OS out there, but I'm very disappointed in Apple's direction, and this experience has made me realized the dangers of being locked to a specific hardware platform: if Apple doesn't make the hardware you want, then there are no alternatives if you want to stay on OS X legally. It was a fun ride while Apple made the hardware I wanted. But Apple started changing direction from powerful, expandable, upgradeable Macs to non-upgradeable, disposable computers for those whose computational needs aren't very intensive. I considered jumping ship back in 2013, but due to the controversies of Windows 8, GNOME 3, and KDE 4 at the time, I held my nose and bought a MacBook Air despite its non-upgradeability. This time I plan to jump ship. I learned my lesson regarding relying on closed platforms for my computing needs; you're at the mercy of the provider of the platform. For this reason alone I'm interested in returning to Windows and Linux/BSD, although I wish they one day will have the same level of polish as OS X.
Full Restart — Figuring out what’s next
OK I understand what you mean. I've never found that to be a problem for me but I'm glad you were able to come up with a solution.
Currently an 8.

Worked at an 8 or 9 a few years ago, architecting large parts of a startup's backend and really enjoyed the creative freedom. Then changed jobs and hopped on the new technology hype train and burned myself out down to probably a 2 or 3. As other people are mentioning, that can be a quick way to kill happiness. I'm all for learning new things, but in balance with productive, creative work, not as my primary job.

Just recently changed jobs and the new company has gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome, which really contributes to job happiness. And it's a better blend of established and newer tech, so less turmoil.

For context, I'm a senior web engineer.
Define improper language. Does your improper-language dictionary cover every possible translation of every possible "improper" word?
Not necessarily. A company can't just magic the best or even good/adequate "engineering resources", AKA human beings, out of thin air, as anyone who's tried to start a startup even with serious cash in hand can attest.

Apple's corporate culture has a variety of things that I would find hard to imagine not suppressing their ability to hire and retain the best; I'm sure others have a better idea than I, but the #1 thing staring us in the face is that software is not respected.

I'm an Android Developer. 2 years in this job. Absolutely love it as over time I've expanded from just core coding all the way to being the bridge between design teams, business interests and server/backend/api teams.

10 Solutions for Climate Change
Even if all glaciers on Earth melted and went into the ocean, sea level would "only" grow by about 65 meters.

The issue with climate change is that higher temperature means more energy and thus more extreme climate. Plus there's desertification but that is, to some extent, a different issue.
Yes exactly. It seems that no matter what you know math majors don't care. You need to walk the walk and talk the talk.

If you read through my comment history you will find me arguing with many mathematicians who think that math is just inherently harder and I must not understand it because I'm not smart enough. I think that the concepts and basic building blocks seem simple when explained outside the context of the current notation used.

You can see a perfectly prime example of this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12991581

Read through my comments to see how I feel.

I'd also like to be clear. I'm not saying math is easy, I'm just saying that it can't be impossible for my peasant brain to not be smart enough to understand the concepts of what's going on. I mean it's not Greek.... well... it currently is but it doesn't need to be!

It Came from Bell Labs
It was unsound from the first version with respect to arrays. If B is a subtype of A, then Java allows you to pass as an argument (or return) an array of B where an array of A is specified in the type signature.

To see why this is broken, consider a method that takes an array of Animal and sets the first element to be a Cat instance. Java's type system will allow you to call this method with an array of Dog which will blow up at runtime on the assignment to the array element.

I noticed this immediately when I first started using Java (version 1.0.4!) as I had just read the classic 1985 OO type systems paper by Cardelli. I didn't have an OO background and was surprised that a "modern" language like Java would have this flaw in its type system given that the problem was well known years before.
Faced with the reality of living in a mine for the rest of their lives, no-one who is keen on colonising Mars would actually then sign up for it.

Yeah. Unless you're doing something hideous, salt is a great disinfectant. There's a reason you preserve things in salt, it remains fresh for ages.

It's actually really hard to get any sort of biological contamination going in salt, as long as you have enough salt. Oddly enough, sugar has the same properties.

Technique is a good point, and the one I'm actually really interested in.

I thought I had already learned that lesson: Proper tool and good technique is important. Obviously not.

Selling McDonald’s in China: an ad exec reflects on food porn and consumerism
I work at media company, we have a lot of traffic from both search engines and social media. We have implemented both AMP and Instant articles from day 1 they were introduced.

I love Facebook instant articles because it solves the real problem in very efficient manner - no markup on publishers side, semantics only. And it delivers really great user experience - zero loading time for all articles with a "bolt" sign in my Facebook Feed.

I don't see real value in AMP for two reasons:

1. The top banner plague from google makes my experience reading articles much worse. It consumes a large part of my phones really small screen. Is there single reason why do we need it. I doubt people engineering AMP implementation in Google use it daily.

2. You still can make AMP pages which will consume tons of bandwidth, drain my battery and make me hate web developers (see ability to include external fonts). And for developers who care for their users it's not helping much, even making it harder (see other thread in this HN page). Okay, preferching might help, but what else?

I hoped Google makes things better, instead all I see is just defensive rhetorics about open web. I don't care much about how open or free software is. User experience matters. And I see that Facebook cares about it much more than Google. So sad.
