For "spiced" we also have the word "seasoned." It has a handful of meanings, but if you're using it to describe a flavor it should be clear that's the meaning you're using.

I've also heard foods described as having "bite" to indicate that they have a strong, spicy flavor, but not necessarily a "hot" one.
I take it that you are also a fan of Mister Truong's?

If you have not been, you're missing out on the best pork roll the city has to offer. I wasn't a fan of banh mi, and to be honest I don't really like Vietnamese cuisine in general, but a few minutes sitting in sweltering heat on shitty outdoor furniture on a table that rocks back and forth on a crack in the pavement by about 30 degrees and I finally understood why people might like it.

I still don't like pho though.
The back-end is getting thinner, the front-end is where all the business logic happens these days. So yeah, you might have a PHP back-end, but you also have a mountain of view logic in JavaScript (TypeScript, CoffeeScript, etc.) that utterly buries it.

There's also Node.js which is catching on really fast because it fits that role of "JSON over REST/GraphQL provider" really well.

All thrift stores I know of and have donated to exist to raise money for a charity. They should be thrilled to move stock.

I realize this is likely to be the most likely way native WASM apps are implemented because it's the most obvious to web developers, but I also think it's the wrong approach.

Webassembly.org's own docs mention that it's intended to be agnostic about its runtime environment[0]. Electron is for packaging HTML, CSS and JS into a "native" application, but WASM doesn't actually need that if it's running outside the web.

Why not a native runtime on top of a cross-platform library like SDL? Just because it's "Web Assembly" doesn't mean it has to be limited to webdev paradigms.

How many minutes before the flight do you usually arrive to the airport? If not 15, why?
I would agree. For subaru, the Impreza wagon would qualify. Audi A3 hatch, VW golf/GTI/R, hyundai veloster, ford fiesta, arguably the newer civics, etc.
You're not answering the question of how people from Fresno can easily get to SF or LA.

Traveling from city center to city center is also a far less stressful way to travel, and you can do things like work on a train that make TAXI -> AIRPORT LINES -> TERMINAL WAITING -> PLANE -> BAGGAGE CLAIM -> TAXI annoying.

Not everything has to be utilitarian; some things can just be beautiful.
I read and solved most of the problems from Walter Rudin's Real and Complex Analysis, Stephen Willard's General Topology, and a small collection of other books I bought with my limited funds and had shipped to me. I mostly bought from Dover, which has a very nice collection of quality math texts for very low prices, I will say.

My learning method was to try to get up to three texts on the same subject, so I could compare different treatments of the material. This was beneficial because if one text was unclear, I could compare with how the other texts explained this concept and it would hopefully dawn upon me what is right and makes sense. Other than that, I can say that I was at it 8 to 10 hours a day and in many respects, it was my one form of entertainment. I solved PDE's or proved theorems like other people did sudoku or crosswords. I looked at the problems as puzzles and tried very hard to solve them because it was all I had that was amusing. I also became very aware of how beautiful mathematics is and I truly began to love it. That passion helped a lot.

> The data you present does not explain anything.

Not when you look at it subjectively and only focus on the specific subset that supports your argument. I believe that's called 'selection bias'.

> without any understanding of why women are not interested in technology jobs, there is no way to understand the gender disparity in technology.

The scientific understanding is there. It's just not the answer you want it to be and hence you ignore it.

> This is very unpleasant. First you assume I'm "ignoring the data" when I actually discussed what the data means. Then you assign a motive to me, that I'm "trying to drag you into an argument". Please don't do that.

>> that is a very intellectually dishonest passage.

>> You can't just stop the ball rolling wherever you like.

Of course it's okay if you do it. To a quoted article, no less, not even my own words. But when I point out what you did then I'm the bad person. This is why I had no desire to get dragged into this kind of discussion.

For the sake of the argument, I presume you are a woman (personally I don't care if you are male, female, a tree, or whatever else). You think that, just because you are interested in tech, every other woman must also be. That is false. The fact alone that you are a woman in tech means you are part of a minority. It doesn't matter how vocal that minority is, it still is just a minority that does not represent the interests of the majority. Just because you chose a career in tech, while most other females did not, does not inherently mean that there is a problem and that that problem needs fixing. Vegans aren't "sick" just because they chose to eat no meat. Salafists aren't bad people just because of their choice of religion. Cat owners don't hate birds just because they have cats. Most women just have no interest in a technical career. Be that (software) engineers, mechanics or truck drivers. It is a choice they made based on their interests (you can prove that yourself by just asking random women on the street) and it is on you to accept that you are part of a minority and that isn't going to change.

I myself am part of a minority too, being autistic. Unlike you, I have to deal with it no matter what I do and where I go. Would it be nice not to have to live in a world tailored to neuro-typicals and not having to face (extreme) prejudice everywhere I go? Hell yeah. But that is wishful thinking and not reality. Just like gender equality in tech is wishful thinking, but not more. The sooner you accept reality instead of chasing a dream based on wishful thinking, the sooner you can start making a difference for the women that made the same choice you did.

Now have a nice day. I have nothing further to add and won't answer you again.

Does it really say it somewhere? As far as I know when you train TensorFlow models they are stored in gs, I thought this would be similar. Otherwise I don't know how they are planning to integrate this with the api they have to upload your models and make requests.

Maybe I’m projecting, but it seems obvious to me that the author’s root problem is that he isn’t producing any music.

Of course, I’m assuming he isn’t based on no mention of it in the article.

The natural result of observing and loving something is the desire to copy it. That’s what humans do.

Such a lopsided preference for consumption over production suggests to me that the author has some extreme repression, fear, etc. around making music, and that energy is being channeled into this weird need to consume and judge other people’s music.

I’d probably be this way if I didn’t make anything too.

Just my 2 cents.
> Are American auto makers once again going to be behind the curve when gas prices shoot up again?

They don't believe so. The article discusses this -- "Today’s (SUVs and Crossovers) get mileage close to the equivalent cars."

“The fuel economy trade-off is not nearly as much of a trade-off as it used to be,” Raj Nair, head of Ford’s North American operations, said. (snip) Even if gas prices soar (snip) consumers are more likely now to switch to a smaller, more fuel efficient SUV, than abandon their beloved bigger rigs, Schuster said.
I'd call it a legitimate interest (site development and debugging tools) and skip the consent. Simply say you must allow cookies and our debugging tool or don't use the site. Particularly with SPA or js framework heavy sites where more bugs occur only in the browser, this is simply a development tool. Now, if you were primarily a rails site that uses very little javascript, this would be a much more questionable call.

There's no possible way to keep an app that can reconstruct screen state anonymous. The app, by necessity, records all info the user enters.

I'd be more concerned about PCI.
Yeah, but we’re not talking about total budget, not even the total military budget; that’s $7 trilllion just on two losing wars. You need to lose another decimal place, and remember that you also print your own money and can levy taxes.
I don't agree with the author, IMO bugs are coding error, the crash or the bad behaviour coming out of it is just a symptom. Not having any symptom does not mean that I do not have any defect/disease, with the appropriate set of tests the doctor could find that I have a disease but with no symptoms.
To come back to the auth example on simcity, the software had a coding error and the proof of it is that when the symptoms were visible (with the windows 3.1 malloc version) we needed a change in the code to fix the error.
The other only category that do not fell under coding error for me is design/architecture error and Hawaii issue fell into that category and it's not bug because it do not prevent us from use the software as intendant it just make the user more error prone or not able to add feature easily or wait too long or worst, no symptom at all until you want to modify expand the software.
Companies create demand by creating new products or services that people want.

You are correct that people have to want them (specifically, want them enough to spend money on them) in order for jobs to be created. But the order of operation is pretty clear from the observable evidence.

For example, there weren't crowds of people lined up outside Apple Stores demanding the iPhone in May of 2004. But after Apple invested in the product development and manufacturing of the iPhone, there were crowds of people outside Apple Stores in June 2007, waiting to pay $600 per item or more. Apple created a lot of jobs to meet that demand, but Apple had also created that demand in the first place.
People do not commit crimes expecting to be caught. If the death penalty is not a deterrent, how could you expect anything less to be?
Base64 on the web is such an unbelievably terrible solution to such a trivial problem that it beggars belief. The idea that parsing CSS somehow blocks on decompressing string delimited, massively inefficient, nonlinearly encoded blobs of potentially incompressible data is insane.

We've taken the most obvious latency path a normal user sees and somehow decided that mess was better than sending an ar file.

(Not that this wasn't inevitable as soon as someone decided CSS should be a text format... sigh)

My exact thought. I think this is a recipe for getting people to call in sick on Monday before Election Day to get a four-day weekend, rather than increase voter turnout. A half-day off seems more likely to work.
According to Wikipedia, the energy balance of ethanol in my country is 8 or more, so it would be more like getting a crisp new $100 bill and turning it into eight $100 bills.
"Workers of the world, unite!"

You are correct that the stevedore unions are different from the seafarers unions.

The issue is that they cooperate legally or illegally. They also cooperate internationally.

The study you linked says nothing about genetics.
30 minutes before boarding they no longer allow you to print a boarding pass (so you’d better be checked in and have it on your phone). I learned this the hard way when I arrived 20 minutes before a flight. However, it’s no big deal really, I caught the next flight an hour or so later since they are obligated to book you the next available flight.

I try to be there about 30 minutes before the flight now, but with boarding pass ready on my phone. The only reason I give 30 minutes is in case of traffic or if I want to grab a quick bite. If I could guarantee my arrival time at the airport it would be even less.

Great read. I particularly enjoyed her advice:

> Make it right. The standard reimbursement for moving breakages used to be 6¢ a pound. If we broke a 10-pound ­table, we’d be liable for 60¢, but that’s not right. So we used to give an “I’m sorry” box to customers, with a coffee mug and gift certificate in it, along with fixing whatever we broke. It made a big difference.
Sorry you keep getting hassled for such a simple point.

The tax is being levied on all overseas money (mandatory) and some companies are deciding to bring that money back to the USA (voluntary).

Not sure what's so hard to understand about that.
There's always tradeoffs. If you require people sort at home, more recyclables end up in the trash and/or people missort anyway.

I agree we should incentivize use of more recyclable materials (in place of non-recyclable or more expensive to recycle materials) in general.
I know what you mean but Bedrock just has much better performance. The ideal for me would be Bedrock on all the same platforms as Java (including Linux) with a supported way to make mods that didn't break on every version update
That process of loading/unloading will probably be automated away too.
Wow, cool - the 'block editor' looks a lot like Scratch. Is it Scratch? I'm having trouble finding many details about the technical side of it.

I think 'visual programming' has a lot of promise for education, but...jeez, after looking into it for awhile I'm sort of losing hope that it isn't a gimmick or fad.

Has anyone actually made a complex project with these initiatives, and had it spark an interest in computing/electronics that didn't already exist? Have they managed to make the jump from visual interfaces to lines-of-code? Is there any evidence that these programs REALLY help when it comes to engaging a wider group of people?

I'm starting to worry that it's just more cynical grant-grabbing as the projects pile up and the results don't seem to. I hope it isn't, I just worry that this is all starting to sound a little 'magic solution'-y.

The Arduino came out about 15 years ago, for perspective.
The school could have done you better, but don't externalize your problems. Most schools' CS degrees won't teach you version control, makefiles or any of that practical stuff. You learn it for fun, incidentally, or on the job.

I was once in your shoes. Same background, same regrettable life choices, same potential future.

If you want to develop, do it. Start by looking at the crap software your company likely pays hundreds of thousands of dollars for and think about how you could do it better. Start by actually trying to supplant it with something of your own creation.

I have a generic degree. All those "practical" things you lament missing out on, I learned by just doing it. But I never had cause to learn what big-o notation was or how to navigate a b-tree...you know, that non-practical knowledge a CS degree would have endowed me with. The lack of such has only stopped me from working at Google. Plenty of other shops are not in the business of recruiting only those who can write the freshest sorting algorithms.

Just don't spend the rest of your life in a job you hate, condemning yourself for being put upon. It takes little effort to invoke large changes.
That's a great question. It mostly happened when I was a good distance from the phone. So I would be running to pick it up before the caller hung up or it went to the answering machine. (Early 90's).

I do think the ringing would get louder as I got closer to the phone, but it never actually went off that I remember in my hand or even when I was within 5 feet of it. Really close, the sound would have been much different. Also the phone should have actually vibrated in my hand which never happened.

I always thought that meant I had 'just missed' the person who was calling. But it may have just been the limit of what the hallucination was able to produce.
I'd bet the winforms version would be faster without DevExpress. We use the web version at work and it's extremely apparent that their use cases are small shops without a lot of data, they do a lot of things in incredibly inefficient ways that require/encourage encourage n+1 problems and things like server side (database) paging are like pulling teeth. To get a page working with any sort of efficiency you have to fight the framework which takes more time and effort than you save from using it.

For the JS stuff, a lot will depends on how you add the data because things like DOM redraws can be brutal. If you have a thousand items in a list for instance, adding them to the list 1 at a time could trigger the DOM to do whatever it does a thousand times, but if you can add them in one go then the DOM only changes once (with a decent framework). Whatever you're using you have to know how it interacts with the DOM.

I'm not sure how ag-grid works, but I'd be willing to bet that any table built with a DOM like structure will always be orders of magnitude slower (and eat more ram) than a real grid that simply paints.
My understanding is that this - is - the heavy hand, right?

Not from my experience. In the US I personally know a couple of public defenders, and while their case loads are big, the reason they plead guilty so much is because that's the game that the prosecutors play. The prosecutors want a slam dunk, but a trial may find the defendant not guilty. So the prosecutor trades certainty for reduced sentences. If you're lucky, you can trade down to a misdemeanor to avoid felony charges, in which case pleading guilty is a no brainer since felonies take away a lot of liberties.

As a side note, I've been told that public defenders will actually tend to get better deals from prosecutors than private counsel because they have to work together so much that they tend to know when the prosecutor will bend.

Also, I do not condone plea bargaining. I think it generally distorts justice in ways that are very corrupt, and create very mis-aligned incentives.

Building Cross-Lingual End-to-End Product Search with Tensorflow
If I am in the position of the patient, I would be horrified to hear an analysis tell me how much time I have left to live and how likely the death is. No matter what the system tells me I will still opt for whatever possible treatment in the case that the prognosis is wrong, or I fall in the ex. 10% chance of survival category.

I just can't picture the doctor saying "the AI says there is a 90% chance of dying in the next month" and me choosing to die in peace at home. I'll keep fighting and take my chances.
Umm, Burbank? OC?

LA's airspace is already crazy as is. And the metro lines they are trying to put in are just, well, cute. Putting an international airport somewhere in Santa Monica would be silly. It's 20 miles away from LAX as is.

The transition between block-based code and JavaScript is implemented better than I expected. If I write something in JS, and switch back to blocks, the equivalent blocks actually appear! Going back to JS shows rewritten code but still readable.
> I dunno, “the market is going SUV and not looking back” makes me think they are once again being short-sighted. If nothing else, it means we won’t be getting much in the way of innovation from the U. S. makers.

I suspect this time its more of a "Young people aren't buying cars, so extract more money out of the older folks for a bit until we hit the wall."
