I improvised a pan "pizza" that the whole family likes that's non-traditional but delicious... Dice 1/2lb of thick bacon or pancetta. Dice a few yellow potatoes. While the meat bits brown in a pan, parboil the potatoes. Chop a bunch of rinsed kale. Drain the potatoes. Set aside the meat, reserving the fat in two portions. Cook chopped garlic with a dash of salt in one portion of fat, about a minute, then cook down the kale until it softens and reduces in size, a few minutes. Get a second pan very hot, add the second portion of fat, and fry the potatoes until golden. Before removing the potatoes from the heat, toss with garlic, rosemary, oregano, and a little salt, cooking a minute. Now use these to top a dough and sprinkle with just a couple of ounces of shredded mozzarella and fresh grated romano.
> a caveat should follow advice like using unwrap and expect, perhaps a small blurb about how they should eschewed for better error handling when you want to catch the errors and make decisions because of them.

That is literally the definition of hypocrisy; the behavior of people who do things that they tell other people not to do.

"When you do this, do it like this, but properly with error handling." :P

Anyhow, as I said its my oppinion that unwrap() is lazy, and `?`, `expect` and `assert!` cover the same functionality in more explicit and meaningful way.

TV usage may / may not be declining but I find no reason why brands would move away from TV advertising that easily. The internet hasn't yet established any immersive equivalent of traditional media ads. Irrespective of how loathsome they might be, they work. I doubt if a distracting banner ad can be as influential as the one you see on the TV. My TV viewing time is absolutely zero and personally, it has created an interesting dynamic in terms of brand recognition. As I walk into any supermarket store, I can barely recall any ads of products I see displayed.

Youtube is the only product that brings anything comparable to the table. But, then again, the number of advertisements I see there is exquisitely low in contrast to the old TV days. Maybe because Youtube is throughly vigilant about not damaging the UX but for the major part, my internet time is mostly spent on other content websites.

I think Internet has a huge advertising problem. Even though it offers every advantage in terms of distribution, there isn't any contender that can replace TV ads.

The only people I've heard say the opposite are people who profit from TV programs being popular, mostly because of ads.

Actually, the stronger case is that the feature should be removed from bash. While it's hard to point at a specific security guarantee that UNIX makes that bash violates by making TCP available via the psuedo-file system, it is a non-trivial ambient contribution to general insecurity for UNIX systems. (People itching to reply to that sentence, please parse it carefully first; I chose the adjectives quite carefully. In particular, I did not just call UNIX "generally insecure".)

Live TV is different from TV - just like LiveStreaming is different from Streaming ... let's just get that out of the way.

Young marketers, like myself, if they are good professionals should be media agnostic, and just choose the best media channels for the target audience they are aiming to reach, depending of course of the objectives of the campaign.

Again, depending on the target, the consumer journey makes their attention shift to alot of media touchpoints - the reality is that the media landscape still includes outdoor 8x6, newspappers, etc.

Yet you can't dismiss that what we call ivideo is a cost effective medium. It doesn't depend on huge agency groups deals, with massive minimum investment requirements influenced by rapel. And lately it has become even more expensive... it's not that the audience isn't there - it's the cost of the GRPs.

tl;dr - TV is just another medium. The most expensive one, and marketers sometimes question it's cost effectiveness and shift investment to online video.
The only thing I suspect that is dying (or should be) is packaging of TV channels. This day and age with the customization available for nearly every product you buy, being forced to spend hundreds of dollars to get the content you want, usually Sports content, is fucking absurd.

* Not even a sports fan, friends tell me how much their cable packages cost when literally the only thing they watch is ESPN and the like. They're getting robbed but there's no way around it.

Not only is Excel functional programming, it's lazy, pure functional programming: each cell (variable) can only define itself, and so cannot change the content of other cells. Evaluation is controlled by the Excel runtime system, which doesn't evaluate cell expressions unless they're scrolled into view, or needed to evaluate a cell that's scrolled into view.

Exactly like Haskell. If Excel were impure, it would mean an expression in one cell would have the power to alter the value of another cell. So, in effect, a cell becomes a synonym for the expression it contains, rather than a -- possibly mutable -- reference to the value its expression evaluates to.

While such jobs require indeed people working on weekends, it doesn't mean that the workers themselves need to be present 7 days a week. It's possible to uniformly distribute 2 free days per week among workers and still guaranteeing 24/7 service.

> Those that lament its passing as some sort of societal shift show thier colours.

Not sure what "their colours" mean. Why should we lower our expectations to the lowest working conditions? Instead, why don't we all aspire to redistributing our working ours to ensure a fair share of free time.
We straight up call ours the "data swamp" because no upfront effort was put into governance.

> Unlike people living in Western nations, residents of Japan have not benefited from an increase in the value of the nation’s housing stock. Houses here last only about 30 years on average, effectively making them a durable consumer good, whereas in Western countries a house is a capital good that will retain its value almost in perpetuity as long as it is properly maintained. The market value of Japanese houses falls even faster than they can be depreciated for tax purposes; after 15 years the typical house is worth nothing.

A big part of my net worth is the equity in my house. I'd be much poorer if my home depreciated to zero after 15 years.

I was probably projecting, but I'd say day care, in a home or a centre, is a financial necessity, and a nanny is when you have too much money or too many children :)

But the larger point I was trying to make is that most people who need child care are looking for someone to make sure it doesn't die while they're away, not provide some special level of care.

I don't think they'll forbid people to die. It will simply become optional.

In my early 20s, I used to meet girls at a country swing dancing place. I was really nerdy and this gave me a chance to practice interacting with women and I got quite a few dates off of it.

Some of my fellow nerds tried to do the same thing but they made this big mistake: they'd think just because the girl danced with them, they could try for a phone number. It would make the girls really uncomfortable. Other people would see that, and it made it harder to get another girl to dance with.

I took a different strategy: I danced with any girl, made them smile (I was good at dancing with beginners and I recycled the same few jokes over and over), and then move on. Sometimes the girl would show interest and that's when I'd go for a phone number.

And if the girl wasn't interested (vast majority of the time), they'd still tell their friends how fun I am, or other people would see the whole interaction and I'd quickly feel like a rockstar.
The real history of the "golden age of piracy" is pretty fascinating. Basically you had Spain trying to claim the entire known world and everyone else fighting back by any means available.

This blatantly seemed like an advertisement for HR 1902, so I pulled up the bill, full text here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1902...

While I was able to pull out some really key bits
- Personal SS tax/employer SS tax up from 6.2-7.4%
- Self employed up from 12.4-14.8%

so much of the text is just.... noise. There are useful bits in there but I feel like I'd need to whiteboard out a fucking diagram just to make sense of it. Since I assume this is intentional I'd be curious if anyone with a better nose for things can elucidate what the key points I'm missing are, since at this point (at the risk of taking an opposing point to what is ostensibly a "nice ideal") it seems to be just another push to supplement elderly benefits at the cost of the existing worker, rather than a more holistic strategy.

(as an aside; the whole CPI-* index choice thing seems like its own sort of P-hacking. Perhaps not in this case since E->elderly->relevant, but having read up on how much these indices are shifted/restructured/how many there are, it speaks to the data engineer in me to the end of "I can pick an index to say whatever I want it to, and I'm sure the index writers are doing the same")
Measuring TV viewership has been going on for 50 years. They're not so dumb as to just measure the time the TV spends emitting photons.

Today Neilsen uses multiple techniques. In addition to self-reporting via diaries, local people meters are deployed in measured homes. When a person sits in front of the TV they identify themselves to the LPM by pressing their ID button in order to indicate someone is in front of the TV.

Yes there may be error in this since it's just-in-time self-reporting, but viewership numbers have been robust and consistent for a very long time.

> Rails 1.x to 2.x or 2.x to 3.x

Yep. I stopped choosing Rails for new projects after 2.0 but inherited a few codebases with newer Rails subsequently.

The problem is not necessarily just with Rails, it's that gem authors don't necessarily have the bandwidth to support high quality versions of a gem for both versions. So if a gem is coupled to Rails' inner workings (as many are -- some unnecessarily) there is added downside to not upgrading even if the older version is working fine.

It does look like the APIs are finally stabilizing. I'd like to see Rails gravitate more toward a series of conventions defined by contracts, not abstracted away into implicit behaviors.

Ryzen 5 review: AMD muscles in on Intel’s i5 sweet spot
Feel good piece. When you see consolidation as orchestrated by Tribune and Sinclair, that's a natural step in the evolution of any dinosaur business that is declining. In the immortal words of Danny Devito in the movie "Other People's Money," "Increasing share of a shrinking market. Down the tubes."
This is the pre-contraception pre-sexual revolution era we're talking about. Maybe people aren't familiar with Pride and Prejudice? Dances of this form are a key part of the social structure that novel revels in.

It's an environment where primogeniture and inheritance are extremely important, where women can have no income independent of a man (and may have their ability to own property independently curtailed as well). Marriage in that context requires virginity. Sleeping around is potentially life-ruining for a woman. (Not quite so much for a man, although still indecorous; more sexism)

Nobody in that context is going to be exploring the search space though any means other than polite conversation. Men might be sleeping around, but only with women of lower social status who can be paid off or can't refuse (or have their refusal taken seriously: "rape culture").

Women could only acquire agency in this context because the risk of pregnancy was mitigated, so the lifetime costs and medical risks (4% maternal fatality rate!) of a child would not fall on them. In that environment, unmarried wombs were treated like barrels of gunpowder: keep away from naked flames.

TV is just another medium. The most expensive one, and marketers sometimes question it's cost effectiveness and shift investment to online video.

And then shift it back again.

The stories are legion of advertisers transitioning to online advertising and back again when they discover it's less effective.

Combine that with increasing awareness of impression fraud, and the difficulty of controlling where media is placed (resulting in brands appearing on... Questionable sites), and it seems the internet advertising hype is deflating a bit.

And rightly so. As you say, it's a weapon in the arsenal, not a wholesale replacement for traditional TV advertising.

this guy reminds me of Ken Forkish whose book "Flour Water Salt Yeast" is a James Beard award winner (like J Kenji's "The Food Lab") and is considered one of the bibles of bread making. he also owns a bakery in Portland that is supposed to be very good (never tried, can't say).

also reminds me of the microsoft solitaire guy who eventually left software and started an apple farm and a cider brewery.

i am personally quite into bread baking, which is apparently quite a curiousity among my friends. "oh, computer guys don't bake do they?" but i think i'm personally attracted to music or cooking or baking or programming in the same way because they all involve creating something new. The process of getting from nothing to something is miraculous. creating both bread and software gives me the same sense of satisfaction. maybe bread moreso because of how tactile the process is.
This isn't new. I remember reading about this years ago. I suppose the new contribution is offering an actual model to do this.
