According to the USDA, not only won't it kill bacteria, it'll incubate them. Anything less that 140F is in the "danger zone" for rapid bacterial growth and food poisoning, and recommend a cooking temp of 145F for fish.

I initially suspected some Celsius-Fahrenheit confusion, but other sources corroborate these temperatures. Color me perplexed.

For what it's worth, I had fish last night. Cooked it 20 minutes at 180C. Was not shrunken or dry. Guess I'm doing it wrong?
Of course a lot of it is Java-specific, but there's enough advice that seems relevant to $BOG_STD_OO_LANG that it's probably worthwhile for this purpose.
Copyright worries notwithstanding, it is a great resource. The first thing I do unpacking anything new is searching the internet for a manual (usually PDF) and saving it to my Dropbox. I keep paper manuals around for a while but recycle them after the end of warranty period to reduce clutter.

But nobody is talking about why this is in fact the case or what are the reasons why it is so attractive to some people.

I think a lot of people are talking about that, and have been for some years. There's certainly a lot of articles to be found about it going back a few years, and many of the intervention and prevention programmes discuss the appeal of jihadi ideology to European youth.

> overt exclusion

Low turnout does not imply someone is being excluded.

Different groups of people tend to have different interests.

> everyone agrees that such overt exclusion, if it exists, is racist or sexist.

> So you can argue about whether that exclusion exists, but you can't shut down the argument by claiming that it's somehow racist/sexist against white men.

I don't even know what kind of fallacy this is, but it's definitely out there.

"If this hypothetical thing we made up does exist, that would make your argument wrong, so you can't use that argument."

Whatever pie-in-the-sky claims you want to make, the direct, practical, and real-world effect of these policies is subverting meritocracy and discriminating against groups of people who are political targets (white and Asian men). It is absolutely both racist and sexist in any sane, non-doublespeak sense of the words.

The office component is such b.s. that it throws the rest of the report into doubt. While solar panels and shuttles are small gestures in the right direction, Google continues to make the wrong large decisions by putting their offices in the middle of nowhere, miles from any real place, surrounded by acres of parking. The sustainable thing would be to put their buildings in cities and adjacent to mass transit so employees can walk and ride to work from their nearby homes.
They already tried that.

The fact that most people don't really know they have their own Android version with their own weird Android "app store" shows you how successful they were. Not much.

i was expecting benchmarks of actual code, not just known performance killers

it'd probably be more representative of overall performance that way

if you select and use an engine here based on how fast it can leak arguments objects or some other weird case, you won't know if it's actually faster at running real code

and anyway i don't think choosing an engine is that important when they're all fairly decent, and if you want speed you should be optimizing your program's logic instead of only relying of how well the engine runs it

Jesus, the debate is long over. All that are left are people who can't seem to reset their brains to realize the food pyramid was wrong all along.

This is like some slow moving comedic parade of ignorance or something. Do your research people and move on, the debate is over, fat doesn't make you fat and all the truly controlled scientific studies show the way forward.

It's been painful over the years watching the big brains here snail their way slowly slowly slowly crawling towards what is long proven reality on the subject.

I read the second edition of Code Complete when I started my first job. Very good book to transition from fresh grad to professional. It has some very dry sections (eg. a chapter on how to name variables) but these are the little things that make a big difference and allows you to 'level up' as an engineer.
Nothing in this silly post doesn't also apply to Google. Google datacenters are connected to the grid as well. It's not feasible for Apple stores in cities and shopping malls to be connected to solar or wind farms. It's still all renewable energy.
One of the meaningful disadvantages to being African American is having a substantially lower IQ on average compared to most other population groups. I would wager that IQ correlates strongly with performance in any scientific or technical field. And no, this difference is not only due to cultural influence. Up to 80% is genetic. I'm sorry, but I think people on this site prefer to discuss true facts, how politically sensitive they might be.

I'm sorry, the research I reviewed on animal infertility was a long time ago. The studies that were from the first half of the 20th century in which this result was demonstrated on just about every domestic farmed species. I don't have time at the moment to track those down. But I don't believe this is 'broscience'.

The first place I'd look if you're searching for studies, esp. more modern ones, is actually the Weston A. Price Foundation. While they have an agenda for sure (e.g. they are currently suing the US prison system for malnourishing inmates, just to name one example of activism/ideology) I think they are generally good folks. They have sponsored some top-notch researchers, such as Chris Masterjohn, in the past.

Here is their scary soy page, which starts with a few citations. I think you'd find more in some of the linked articles.

https://www.westonaprice.org/soy-alert/

Price was a fascinating bro, BTW.

Please feel free to post here anything that you may find to be of particular interest.

I should add that most of these results probably don't apply to traditionally fermented soy (like natto or traditionally made soy sauce -- but not the mass produced stuff nowadays); as I understand it there is no traditional culture which ate soy in an unfermented form.)
ISIS has explicitly stated that it plans to infiltrate the US through lax border security. I think it is more than fair to take that threat seriously.

This is a huge, spirited discussion. There was a very similar discussion with many of the same points when child labor was outlawed and education was made mandatory a bit over 100 years ago.

All the points against college education made here...they just as easily apply to that case as well. So we should stop funding public schools, invest it in the S&P 500 and start letting 12 year olds maximize lifetime income by beginning professional life early?

Interesting. Never heard of it. The main safe language from that time was Ada. It's been updated regularly. The neat thing about it is how it was systematically designed to mitigate errors in about every operation.

There's also a variant called SPARK that can automatically prove the absence of errors like buffer overflow in a way that would normally take a theorem prover.

"whiteness" has changed

Maybe we should change the meaning of tptacek to Osama bin Laden -- and argue that you are dead?

Yes, the meaning of "whiteness" has evolved -- for sinister political reasons: equating "whiteness" with "successful" serves no useful purpose, other than covering up inconvenient facts like immigrants/Asians doing extremely well, which doesn't fit the left's convenient narratives. Twisting the meaning of "whiteness" really is an incendiary political mobilisation strategy, and you know it. It is a well-worn strategy of political mobilisation going back -- like almost everything on the contemporary political left -- to Lenin. I recommend you reflect on this moral failure of yours: Why not use something like "successful" instead of "white" from now on, otherwise you will continue to be part of the problem. In order to solve a problem, one needs a clear understanding of what causes the problem in the first place.

Yes, so? The success of Asian in SV (many of them immigrants from poor countries) shows clearly that the convenient narrative "blame whitey" is not helpful. If you want to help, why not start with a correct analysis of the problem's root-cause?

The features that they mention...SMB Direct, large memory, more sockets, REFS...are great, but I think that they should only have one client SKU.

Also, it should have a telemetry manager that applications have to use for sending telemetry data to Microsoft. It should have UI and PowerShell cmdlets that help people see the data that's being collected. It should have a global off switch for people that are concerned about it.

I tend to think that things like telemetry or "swarm" downloading of updates and patches are good things. I know that's not popular. I think that they need to be far more transparent about that stuff to make privacy concerned people happy.

Also, there are some people that are never going to like Microsoft, Windows, or anything that they do. I kind of wish those people were less involved in the conversation. If you aren't going to use their stuff, why should they listen to your feedback?
I've been thoroughly enjoying "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" by Martin Kleppmann. It primarily deals with the current state of storing data (databases, etc) starting with storing data on one machine and expanding to distributed architectures...but most importantly it goes over the trade-offs between the various approaches. It is at a high level because of the amount of ground it covers, but it contains a ton of references to dig in deeper if you want to know more about a specific topic.

Think the OP still had it the right way around, even if it's their second bite of the cherry.

They failed with the Fire Phone to really make inroads as the value proposition wasn't there - they went too hard into their walled garden and priced themselves out of developing markets. Now this time they're trying a softer, longer term approach, especially in places where they don't have the reach at the moment to get lock in from day one. They have the Android development chops, the vision for where they want to get to, and the infra to start devolving phone features to the cloud, now all they need to do is get some dedicated users.

It's resetting their starting point for sure, but not sure it's an admittance their vision is wrong.

It's also silly to argue that since white and Asian men are overrepresented in tech, that somehow means that impoverished white boys in Appalachia, Khazakstan, or Lithuania get labelled "privileged" and "not diverse".

Honestly, the failure to address that concern is one of the big reasons why nationalist and populist arguments are so persuasive.

It's "one of those credit things." They sign power purchase agreements, typically 20-year terms with a fixed price per MWh, with generators of renewable power. Both entities are typically attached to the grid, without a direct line between them. The buyer contracts to buy an equal amount of power from the grid that the seller puts onto the grid. The actual timing of generation and consumption does not need to be aligned.

Some interesting questions arise from these observations.

* Other comments in this thread rightly point out that US higher education loan policy is largely the cause of unsustainable growth of college tuition. However, instead of bloated bureaucracies and buildings that are unmaintainable at lower budgets, why didn't at least some colleges invest the proceeds into index funds to directly defray the costs to students, like at Yale? Or allocate to competitively recruit and retain proven professors with observable education outcomes (or invest in establishing metrics to identify such outcomes)? Is there a herd effect at work in how colleges decide to spend the largesse, and if so, where did it roughly originate from?

* I find it interesting that the standard investment is effectively an S&P 500 index fund. If your slow collective consciousness meme is on point, then pointing more working and middle class towards indexing with big life goals like children's higher education could have big ramifications for the financial industry, as one of the large institutions supporting the industry---pensions---starts eroding away in the future, and now another source of funding in 529 plans might open up more to indexing. How likely is indexing going to replace pensions, and when will most 529 plans shift to indexing?

* It is common for US employers to note that colleges are producing graduates that do not hit the road running at the workplace. There are quantified lists of skills that are observed missing in the graduates [1] [2]. Why aren't there "finishing schools" set up to teach these skills?

The UK has the concept, at least for televised news, of "Due Impartiality and Due Accuracy and Undue Prominence of Views and Opinions" [1]. I know the US loves its first amendment, but such a law could really help to have better televised debates and opinion programs on cable news (I'm obviously thinking of Fox News, but the problem exists for the other news channels). Other European-inspired laws like no political ads or limited amount of money spent during the campaign [2] would also help to have a better political environment.

How much of it do you think deals particularly around security updates? Samsung is getting a lot of flack for the OS they use in embedded devices being notoriously behind on security updates(think TV's, Fridges, appliances etc), that it may not be worth the potential headache of being the one to roll their own android and not patch security updates promptly. It seems to me a logical step to momentarily disband the competitive aspect of this market in an aim for higher security for all devices. It also is a nice easy PR win for Amazon, reduces overall costs for them, and just have to accept Google possibly getting to double dip their feet in data that Amazon is actively collecting.
