I think what we actually need is a recipe site that sticks to just a few curated recipes like this:

- low downtime, meaning personal time prep/etc were you are unable to do anything else.

- healthy, obv. (I note the above recipes seem to have quite a bit of salt and fat..)

- easily obtained ingredients. special consideration for those that need to be fresh, or go off quickly (vs pantry), and those that are hard to obtain in meal-size quantities. (as a side-note, Asian markets are treasure troves, if you can figure out what things are, and if they're healthy).

- Not too difficult to wash up after. If it uses 5 different pans, 10 different utensils etc, and I have to spend 30 minutes washing up, then that needs to be considered as part of the "downtime".

- Another possible consideration, other than ingredient price: energy price. Ovens can use a fair bit of electricity. If you use it for 45 min every day for your evening meal, could the costs add up? I say this because I'm currently trying to reduce my monthly energy bill (my last one was 50 EUR), and the immersion heater is the first suspect. Generating heat tends to use a lot of electricity, although the high heat capacity of water probably means water heating is more costly, consider that one you are finished with the oven, all that excess heat is just wasted (unless it happens to be winter).

Plus, it might seem basic, but an app or something that can A) produce possible meals-to-make based on what you have, and present a choice (or even choose at random) B) produce a shopping list in advance for future meals. An "Who's turn is it to cook" tracker would be nice too.
Exactly. Each avatar is made up of 6 features, hair, hair color, skin color, eyes and mouth. No nose, because who needs them! So each part has a code, and I can store a face as a simple 6 character string. Then I just compared against the ids of the eyes, hair and smile. I actually allowed any glasses and any smile because I wasn't absolutely sure which one he'd used :)

I agree. But I still think it is all more sensitive in children. They have less self control and it is easier to discourage them. As adult, I was more able to distinguish between "the topic is uninteresting" and "the class was badly taught".

Then again, children can learn by themselves when it is all framed as game they are freely exploring - adults learn much less that way.

Then there is a factor of developing brain - your students all have already brains fully developped. So it won't happen that someone does not possess abstract thinking yet, but still may suddenly click 6 month later on.

Basically, adults are more able to overcome obstacles and be independent in learning while children depend on teacher much more - both for motivation and actual content.

If you're interested in something that's not strictly real-time a good book is physically based rendering http://www.pbrt.org/ . It uses a literate-programming style which is neat. It's about path-tracing which is similar to ray-tracing but can give an unbiased approximation to the rendering equation (which is a reasonably accurate model of "everyday" optics.) Here is a JS+WebGL (mostly WebGL ;) ) interactive path-tracer: http://madebyevan.com/webgl-path-tracing/

Vulkan is pretty boring to be honest. I'm very doubtful that you want to bother with it if you're just starting. Using these APIs is like filling out tax forms, but Vulkan is a lot more effort than OpenGL (but, OpenGL is weird...) Learning shaders in OpenGL will be pretty transferable knowledge. Vulkan uses a lower-level assembly-like language, SPIR-V that doesn't pretend to be C (like GLSL) but there are GLSL to SPIR-V compilers. I can't comment on DX (I haven't used it.)

Here's a tutorial on drawing you first triangle: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/api-without-secret... . Note that there is a lottttt of code to do this (this is part 3...) I really think you could learn more about modern graphics with glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES) and writing GLSL shaders than boring yourself with Vulkan.

If you do want to play with Vulkan there is this book (piggy-backing off the rep from the old "OpenGL Bible") https://www.amazon.com/Vulkan-Programming-Guide-Official-Lea... . I can't give it an honest review because I got bored; I plan to pick it up again later...
True, though I feel compelled to post the standard rebuttal:

> "On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."
We could have gone with a better JS replacement adopted by all players -- with ints, typing (or gradual typing), more optimisable, better memory management options (e.g. buffers, "value objects", etc)...

With the current speed of replacement of evergreen browsers it would take 2-3 years and we could start using it (some immediately if they only targeted specific newer browser versions e.g. for their enterprise apps).

Instead we got exactly what you describe + piling on stuff on top of JS.
Yeah, this was not so much marketing as luck and wanting to make a cool easter egg.
The thing is, at the end of the day, the language used to develop the site should be completely irrelevant for the user. You're not using Java or .NET to run your site, you're running WebAssembly. The tools used to generate that should be as irrelevant as whether someone used Gimp or Photoshop to create the images on the site that you're using.

Bloat is always a concern, but I don't see how WebAssembly materially changes things - as it stands right now, you're downloading the "runtime" for virtually every site you use in the form of a javascript bundle packaging up every library used to make a site function.
systemd is not "just" init, it's a suite of various tools, most of which (including systemd-resolved) don't run as PID 1. It's a monolith by the fact that this project decided to take over a variety of normal system daemons and make it as difficult as possible to use many of them without using the rest - it's not a monolith in the sense of everything running in the same process.

I believe systemd-resolved, however, is one of those components that is entirely optional, and which nothing explicitly depends on... which makes it weird that Ubuntu chose to use it by default.
On Debian, and I assume its derivates, Unbound will by default only listen to localhost. What distribution has changed this, because I think that is also the upstream default?
> "Cleaner than ever" still ain't clean.

Ok, less dirty. Happy?

> "I murdered fewer people last year!" would be a terrible defense for Jack The Ripper.

By that logic, solar & wind are not clean either. You still have to mine for & process rare earth minerals for solar cells & batteries. Not to mention the poor Chinese workers who process the electronics in poor working conditions. How about the extra infrastructure needed to support solar cells & wind turbines everywhere, as you have power loss with power transmission over a distance.

Neither is fission clean. Perhaps Thorium is relatively clean?

> China and India burn a lot of coal... because they have a lot of inhabitants. But they have also got much more renewables than the US.

China & India are also building infrastructure, which uses steel. I don't think there's any qualms about using renewables in the US. It's a matter of letting the technology mature in the free market & reducing the Federal Budget & lowering taxes. When renewables are more mature, the US will adopt them more.

Note that there are several alternative technologies being developed. Thorium, Biogas, Fusion, etc. When these technologies mature, we can use them all in combination; taking "the right tool for the right job" approach.
That's right. But when your employer will ask to shift infrastructure because old one is no more maintained, and to be as productive as before, you'll be very slow at development and get fired.
If the employee is paying for the infrastructure, this is because SE are not solidary to open source projects.

This is not about being "tired". It's about resetting your nervous system which for different people works differently. I often think about it as about a distinction between sprinters vs. marathon runners. Some people have biological predispositions to perform better in one of those.

I don't think that making any type of generalisations (eg. "people shouldn't be that tired") makes much sense.
> Someone would ask this sooner or later, so.. why is this written in C, really?

When systemd was started, Rust barely had a working compiler and go had been announced for about one year.

Right now we have a dozen languages that transpile to JS. What WASM proposes is that we replace that with WASM. Then we will have several dozen languages with JS in first place that have critical bits compiled to WASM. We still have frameworks and other fragmentation but It promises performance.

What you say may happen but what the primary purpose of WASM is to replace JS as the target of compilation as it is now. They want a more robust and lower level language which can give higher performance as the base kinda like LLVM except for browsers. So languages like Typescript, Dart, Elm don't have to transpile to JS but to WASM which is less work and more performance.
This is like saying "I don't like running multiple native programs on my computing device because the machine instructions were compiled by different programming languages".
Good sci-fi extrapolates.

One reason I like Star Trek is that it had some aspects of sci-fi in the social realm. Like the fact that people had culturally evolved a little bit. TNG episode "The Neutral Zone" underlines the cultural differences between Star Trek utopia and the real world.

Too much sci-fi in TV is just projecting current cultural zeitgeist into the future or space. It becomes interesting only afterwards as bottled representation of the past. For example, BSG 2004-2009 stores forever the mental landscape of United States after 9/11.
And we'd still be stuck with a "one-size-fits-all" mentality for the browser. The desktop and server environments have amply demonstrated that different languages have different strengths, and it's a good thing in my mind that we can have solutions tailored for different sorts of problems and applications.

It should be noticed that there were the times when Mark Hamill was incredibly pissed off that people only see Luke in him and his acting career was actually ruined by this role. But now he is older and it looks like he is just fine with it. Or may be it's just prozac that makes it look this way.
I don't think that the complexity is unbounded. The Java standard libraries and the .NET BCL are really big, true, but you don't need to use all of them to use them. They're quite neatly segmented.

The fact that we have both libraries is due to reasons mostly outside of software development and computer science concerns (licensing, politics, etc.).

I don't see why for any non-vertical domain, in theory, we couldn't manage the complexity of having just one huge standard library available to Java, C#, Python, Ruby, etc.

Verticals are another story, that's where things get scary. But I wouldn't put medical imaging libraries in the standard libraries, anyway :)
But that is exactly the point: the brain draws its cognitive power from the number of inputs and not from mass.

Just think of the human hand or the mimicry we can express and how many muscles and associated sensoric feeds our brain continuously. Mass is relevant, but up to a certain degree.
Well I guess it is closer to what "media influencers" are pushing. Painting leadership in the worst possible lights, that for the good of the main characters to come out things need to end (zombie apocalypse or similar doomsdays), and/or having entire rigged systems against characters.

That being said bigger fans than me have sane claims that Star trek has been about American political counter points (peace and noninterference in cold war, and similar). So if characters are constantly compromising, and actually working on hard problems it might be able to keep those themes (opposed to political deadlock, separation, and short-term gains in reality).

How the vegan movement broke out of its echo chamber
I contend that your formula is still incomplete. Yes, we absolutely should count the damage companies cause in pursuit of profit. We should also count the non-financial good they do. The spread of "fake news" is a bad thing. Connecting with other people who have the same disease, as another commenter mentioned, is a good thing. Count both. I'm not trying to say whether the net for Facebook or anyone else is positive or negative. I'm just saying that we should apply the same standard for every company, and it should be standard that includes all relevant data. Too often, I see different and/or incomplete standards used to praise some companies and condemn others.

Depends on if you like what you are shopping for. I love browsing e.g. watches, or computer parts. I hate shoe shopping - even the shops themselves - I'm immediately brought back to the times as a kid I had to shop for shoes, and my brain just goes "nope" and switches off.

I hear some people, women in particular, quite like shopping for shoes. It's possible there are people that dislike shopping for computer parts?

Of course shops can play up to the dopamine hit through promotion, fantasy-encouragement and packaging etc, but if you like a type of product, you'll probably like seeing what's available.

They're also incentivized to provide a high quality program and have their grads land high paying jobs. Essentially they're invested in their students success in a way most educational programs aren't.
I think it will be much worse. Want to bet that there will be checklists and sales pitches on development tools websites where the likes of Microsoft, Oracle, Borland (Embarcadero?) will sell developers the possibility to build apps for the web using their runtimes, which will be 100% forklifted to the Web?

As-in, share-nothing, just their existing libraries cross compiled to WebAssembly.

And we will have to use those apps because we will need them for specific purposes (the typical example is enterprise apps, but also government sites, educational sites, etc.)
A classic example of how broken our system is when interest groups can control competition.
> I don't see why for any non-vertical domain, in theory, we couldn't manage the complexity of having just one huge standard library available to Java, C#, Python, Ruby, etc.

I think you can look to pre-existing multi-language ecosystems like the JVM, .NET, etc. that show that this isn't always the greatest idea. Languages have different idioms and ways of approaching problems, and using a standard library geared towards a stateful, OOP language is going to feel out of place and awkward in a functional language (and vice versa).

If they work in high level language that hides all that behind "number", who cares. How floating point numbers are represented is interesting trivia, but hardly useful in most situations.

The rest is fluff and hidden cultural test: "Do you have the same history as I do?"

Presumably that's to cover their liability for the flights not connecting properly?

If you have a connection, you need flight 1 to arrive x minutes before flight 2 departs. If that doesn't happen you start asking things of the airline (at cost to them). If you purchased the tickets separately, it was your fault that you missed the connecting flight.

I'm a cofounder of Futurenda, we're building a task scheduler that can plan your day by itself just by telling it how much time is needed for each task and when they are due. It divides your tasks into sessions and fill them into your calendar where there's time available (Not occupied by events). Besides being a task scheduler it's also a time tracker & task timer (like a pomodoro timer)
We've just launched Google Calendar Sync, so you don't have to manually add events if they're already in your Google Calendar.
Why're we buildling this? As university students with lots of projects and deadlines we wanted something that can just plan it out for us: follow a schedule and rest assured that everything will be completed before deadlines. Besides, it should tell us how much free time is available each day at a glance.

I'm sure that there's going to be inefficient, bloated libraries out there. That's really no different than the Javascript world today. But as time goes on, I believe the more efficient libraries, frameworks and tools will win out. No one uses jQuery UI or Sproutcore these days. The same will be true of any bloated monstrosity that is compiled to WebAssembly.

You're missing the point by bringing up irrelevant things like "fun." The legality is also irrelevant as that is a government thing that's outside the scope of the conversation.

The point is, water is healthier than alcohol. This is just common sense. The silly fun argument you're making has nothing to do with alcohol unless you're making the stupid assumption that you can't have fun and drink water.

The reality is this: alcohol is worse than water and alcohol is bad for you. That being said, it's not necessary to do only things that are good for you, but let's just rationalize things.

Juice is also worse than water, by the way. You can absolutely live a little, but don't try to overrationalize bad behavior. I eat candy, which is bad, and I won't argue candy is healthier than say, fruit, but it is what it is. people need facts and the fact is: candy is bad, and alcohol is bad in terms of your health. if it makes you happy, go for it, but it's not inherent in the substance.

yeesh. the fact that you're posting silly poems instead of constructing a solid argument is proof enough.

p.s. the fact that alcohol has water in it is irrelevant. if that is your argument, then i counter: why not just drink the water alone.

Diclaimer: I drink alcohol and drink various fruit juices and eat meat. Most of the evidence shows these have healthier alternatives, but I like variety for irrational reasons.
