Whenever I see any gif with a recipe come by on my social media, it always seems to follow the same meta-recipe: hyperpalatable ingredient mixed with other hyperpalatable ingredient, the end result being something that has fat, sugar and salt in abundance.

I guess that it makes sense, producing the clickbait equivalent for taste (you watch it and think "oh that looks mouthwatering") but I don't recall ever watching these and thinking they look healthy.

EDIT: To clarify, I am specifically referring to adding a lot more sugar, salt and fat than we need; I do realise a lot of these recipes use vegetables, have plenty of fibres and essential nutrients, and so on, but hyperprocessed foods that lack those qualities is a different kind of unhealthy than what I'm talking about.

For the record, I never actively look online for recipes on any of these sites, so maybe that is also the reason I only see these recipes.

The Nano is pretty clearly going to be replaced by the Apple Watch for those uses.

I would expect future series Apple Watches to become more and more independent of the phone. And with wireless headphones like the AirPods the only annoying thing about that form factor is going to be taken care of.

Tasty is evil. Usually, their receipts waste half of the ingredients by making you overcooking them, or you will cover taste because they want to mix too many things together.
They have very good marketers, now they should hire a proper cook.

When I visited Mexico I stayed in a hotel where I needed to ask in my broken Spanish for a towel. The hotel employee told me "ahorita te las llevan" which she wrote on a piece of paper for me since I looked confused and didn't understand the response verbally.

I looked up ahorita in my dictionary which translated it as "soon", which clarified things instantly.

So I was a bit surprised that the author of this article made ahorita out to be such a complicated concept when in fact the word "soon" seems to be an apt translation, and is used in English in much the same nebulous way.

If only this poor fellow had had the same dictionary as I did he would have saved some time and frustration, but perhaps not had a good enough story to write a BBC article about.

The paper never once uses the term "air gap." It's only in the headline as submitted to HN.
Coal, gas, etc increased global warming - but we are talking about timescales of <100 years (sometimes <50) to reverse those changes with appropriate action. Nuclear is not like that, it takes thousands of years (plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24000 years) to undo or cleanup anything related to nuclear. When we started with coal/oil/gas/etc - we didn't know at that time about these side effects. Now the same could be said about nuclear as well. If radioactive material 10 times the size of chernobyl fallout [1] was released, would that mean the perpetual end of earth, possibly leading to a worse than climate-change kind of scenario? That's why countries like Germany have started shutting down nuclear power plants. Its like favoring a known evil rather than an unknown devil.

Note: I'm neither a proponent or opponent of nuclear energy.

Desertification of crop lands? Increasing pesticide use coupled with decreasing benefit? Depletion of groundwater tables because of land usage that encourages run-off? Substituting fertilizer made from non-renewable resources for a self sustaining form of agriculture?

Destruction of local habits for mono-culture crop development? Destroying complex ecosystems that are perfectly capable of supporting rich crops for humans and replacing them with mono-culture crops like soy/corn/sugarbeets that absolutely fuck the topsoil, deplete nutrients, and fail to support basically any animal life?

I'm not OP, but our current agricultural practices that came out of the world wars with cheap and easy access to "Chemicals" is absolutely a problem. Not because the chemicals are artificial (although that doesn't help with regards to price) but because we're using them in ways that don't create a renewing system. We're literally destroying our sources of water and topsoil to grow corn no one needs.
it has been submitted as such on both HN and reddit. i think it is reasonable to clear any misunderstanding.

I agree the central issue is the self/other tribalism that's gone out of control. But you shouldn't dismiss the lack of access to good data. It's the manipulation and bombardment of nonesense that is entrenching the divide to what I perceive as unprecedented levels.
They are not really a recipe site you find via your usual search engine use to cook something.

They just show up in your IG / FB feed all the time. From my experience people just "like" them because they look nice but never try to recreate them as the sped-up video format isn't great for that.
So saying (or possibly just feeling) we are all the same makes them try to be different by fighting with each other?

If this means someone is now generally targeting airlines with hacks, it may be a rough ride. Airlines have been using tech for a long time, so their websites are generally an entry point to a mess of legacy integration. And you only have to hack a couple of airlines to get lots of people's data. We're close to a billion passengers flown per year in the US across all airlines.

This resonate strongly with me but there doesn't seem to be any political platform that has been promoting this theory in the last 20 years. The left focus has been on promoting the distinction and multitude of groups and the strengthening of self-identity that members has towards such groupings. The right is in return focusing the distinction between self and other, making the combination of left and right a special volatile mix in current political environment.

Sadly the group that has changed in this formula is the left. They used to (ie, 30-40 years ago) spend a lot of focusing on eliminating and underplay difference between groups. Today I often see the modern left making fun of those times as naive experiment.

I'm glad that things "just work" for the most part and you don't have to think about them

But at the same time these are unnerving. It's not about "not knowing how to use computers" it's about NOT READING WHAT'S IN PLAIN SIGHT
When it comes to physical components SpaceX has a habit of selecting an off the shelf component and asking the vendor if they can get a modified version that includes some changes that make it capable of living in their application.

That's great for reducing cost (or increasing quality or buying time, they're all related) but in the long term it often leads to spaghetti.

Considering the time pressure they're perpetually under and how Elon is known to run his organizations I would suspect their software products are no different.

I don't see where it's clearly stated that it's a good design, and it's in a "darts" section, which seems to indicate it's a "bad" example, which I infer only from the thumbs-down icon. The main gallery page never explains the "laurels and darts" terms. Are these common? Why have separate laurels and darts sections if they are both to include both good and bad examples?

I've used some of these recipes as guidelines before. I think the format is extremely useful.

Most traditional recipes go into too much details, use unnecessarily complicated measurements and ratios, and aren't easy to visually memorize. These gifs or short clips are easy to skim through, easy to memorize and very accessible.

Are they the healthiest, most traditional or best tasting recipes out there? Probably not. Are they a great way to get people to start cooking? Absolutely.

The systems the parent cites are single-mode. You can run 160 wavelengths through a single-mode fiber. This is done in optical transport systems for "long haul". The wavelengths are close together just far enough apart to accommodate the bandwidth needed for each channel.

Multimode fiber is used for short distances after demultiplexing the wavelengths, typically in data centers.

Although I would not say that 100 Gb/s on a single wavelentgh is "basic" at this point in time.
That claim was true more than 10 years ago. Responding to the hypocrisy claims he's travelled Southwest for a long time & buys offset credits when he does.

> BARLOW [Day 2. 10:41 P.M.]: I live in a small town.

This is the key element here. In a small town, the tight social connections take care of this issue. I know because I grew up in one, just like you. We also did not lock our doors, nor our bikes for that matter. I even forgot my bike in town once as a kid, just before we went on holiday for two weeks, and when we came back my bike was on our driveway with a note from the butcher saying "Hey, you forgot your bike" - he apparently asked around and some people recognised it was my bike. That's how tight the social network is (which also has it's downsides, but that's another discussion).

But the Google Campus is not a small town, and arguably one of the fundamental aspect of being a large city is that many socially disconnected people live in the same space. And in that situation, you need a lock.

Our village started locking its doors because criminals from a nearby city realised that we didn't. Our area is very sparsely populated, so we don't have a large police force; just one or two vehicles. During work hours, when many people are at work, they would commit a distraction crime in one village, then rob a bunch of houses in another knowing the police was away.

Of course we should get those thieves behind bars, but at the same time: not locking the door leaves you vulnerable to anyone outside of the community who comes up with the same idea. And in a city, with it's many sub-societies stacked upon another, people like that will exist.

The original 3G was 384 kbps... I doubt there are many places left on the planet still running that.

VividWireless looks like it only exists near cities, no coverage at my parent's address. None of the other main wireless providers (Optus, Vodafone) have signals anywhere near them, only Telstra NextG. They're even lucky when it comes to geography since they live on the right side of the valley... 800m in the other direction and they'd be in radio shadow. Even Telstra's own coverage map doesn't actually show coverage for them!

Last time I was there I read that Telstra was building a 700 MHz LTE network. If that replaced the 850 MHz HSPA network and reached them they could get some really great speeds.

The irony is that the maths stays the same for a more modest 1.2x if you can get 80% of your investments to pay off.

...but when you have an 80% loss rate, you have to play the game more than a hundred times to reliably make your money back.

...but I doubt you're investing in hundreds of companies; which means, you're probably walking away with nothing.

Remeber, those numbers only work at scale; in small numbers 80% failure for 5x return = you get nothing. Just like the soundcloud investors will.

I have seen events like this occur with totally different projects on github because issues feels like a message board. A different way of handling it would be to open an issue in the Postage repo, put a link to the Postage issue in the PostgresApp issue and then close the PostgresApp issue.

I like how the Toccis were very proactive and communicating how they were working to resolve the issues but Jakob was right about how Github emails everyone with each comment.

I'm glad it was resolved here on HN.

I'm not surprised. Some of the early BuzzFeed people came from Demand Media, which if you remember brought you the seo spam machine that was eHow. BuzzFeed uses a lot of the same tactics we used, but they're more protected now because of social media. I can't imagine Facebook/Instagram/etc doing a "panda-esq" update to stop them.
Unless you can put the [little used] HTML5 FileSystem API into full-effect, by creating a full-blown Unix-like operating system (complete with a desktop environment) that runs inside of a browser tab (ie, is "just" a web page)... so that whatever music files are kept in this browser-sandboxed filesystem become your local music library.

They've got lots of fairly healthy recipes (as well as plenty of unhealthy ones, but nobody is pretending that brownies are healthy).

The problem isn't the nutritional content, it's that these videos are of recipes that just aren't very good to start with. They've nailed the ability to shoot something that looks incredibly tasty, but if you look at the recipes themselves, they lack flavour. Nothing has enough spices added, nothing is allowed to cook long enough, etc. Complexity and culinary sophistication is thrown out the window to make food-making look enticingly, deceptively simple and quick. They're not all bad, of course. You can sometimes make a good meal out of four ingredients.

In other words: The videos are designed to be addictive to watch, not to be realistic recipes.
Thanks! I've installed it on my tablet, and it seems good. :)

No, not really. It's not hard to write a graphics pipeline emulator. Those who believe a software rasterizer is difficult simply haven't spent much time trying to write one.

Making it correct is much more difficult than making it at all. I'd be shocked if their emulator got the basics correct in every detail. Example: Texture wrapping occurs by taking the UV texcood modulo the texture size. But since a texcoord can be negative, your modulo operation has to account for that at the boundary between positive and negative, or else you end up with truncated texels.

It doesn't sound like they were really writing a rasterizer, but it's the same concept.

Because it is simply too big and still growing.

End result is that unless you can get some deep pockets to fund your ongoing efforts on the fork, you are unlikely to overtake systemd any time soon.

Hell, Canonical and Debian tried for the longest time to maintain a shim that would enable systemd-dependent upstream projects to work without systemd. They simply could not keep up with the interface changes and feature creep.

Utilities are really expensive in a place like that. It is fairly easy to run a utility when you average 100 feet between each customer, and when you can have one hub station that covers a 1-mile radius and serves 5,000 people. It's really hard when the line from one house to the next costs a year's subscription fees, and one hub covers 50 people.

This is why fiber is currently only common in the cities right now. Costs haven't come down enough for it to get to suburban locations, much less rural.
