Wines also taste completely different from one another. E.g. taste a vin jaune, a vin doux naturel, an eiswein, an orange wine - you'd never mistake any of these for one of the others, and none of them for any normal red or white off a restaurant wine list.

Similarly, it's hard to mistake an aged Burgundy for a Cote Rotie, or a Sauvignon Blanc for a Reisling.

Wine stores without Enomatic machines or equivalent are a mostly waste of time, IMO, unless you already know the maker's style and it's what you're looking for; or the owner has excellent taste. Dispensers give you the ability to taste a dozen or two wines with ease in a single evening.

I think the first point is only true for symmetric matrices (which includes those that show up in multivariable calc). In general, the eigenvectors need not be orthogonal.
Depends where the grapes are from, what species they are and of course also the winemaking the process. There was a joke going around about the difference between German wine and vinegar: the label.

In sunnier regions the grapes are sweet but don't get enough acidity and the winemakers have to compensate using tartaric (also citric or malic) acid or ideally more acidic grape juice (imported or from other grape species). In less sunnier regions the grapes don't get enough sugar and they become too acidic. Fermentation naturally stops at about 13% alcohol content but if it's warm in your cellar (>18°C) it can start again and exhaust all the sugar in the wine. When this happens, you can stop the fermentation by adding suplhur. A small amount of sugar is necessary to preserve the flavours in a wine if it's kept in barrels or stainless steel drums. Commercial wines are filtered, pasteurized and bottled after fermentation stops if they're not aged in wooden barrels. Once a bottle of regular (unaged) commercial wine is open, the flavour goes away if left overnight.

The average is dragged down by people that stop very quickly. People that stay for 5+ years are at much higher risks than someone that stops at 1. And again that's after 3-4 years in collage and 2-4 years in high-school.

So we are talking ~9 years vs up to 26+ when every year is more risky than the last because of cumulative damage.
This kind of comment comes along any time there's an article about wine on the Internet, and I feel like so many people want to backlash against wine elitism that they overshoot far, far in the other direction.

The price thing happens for literally everything. People infer the value of things from the listed price, which is why everything in a department store is perpetually on sale and why you should set pricing expectations higher than reasonable when negotiating a sale or an hourly rate. This isn't a critique of wine, it's a critique of the human psyche using easily-manipulable signals as shortcuts for inferring value. I have yet to find a person who actually believes that a forty dollar bottle wine is likely to be better than a fifteen dollar bottle of the same varietal or anyone who would judge someone on the price of the wine they're drinking.

"The Color of Odors" is pretty much just another issue with our brains synthesizing multiple signals to come to a conclusion. If you drink a wine that's colored red, you're going to start with the assumption that it's a red wine and work from there. This works as an exceedingly-reliable heuristic: the average number of times someone is trying to trick you about what type of wine you're drinking per drinking session is effectively zero (and the consequences thereof are roughly zero as well). You've ran your own experiment with N=6, but brown-bag tastings at wine shops aren't exactly rare and amateur enthusiasts are generally in the ballpark with many of their guesses.

Different tasters will rate a given wine differently because taste isn't objective. But it's not subjective either. It's a composite of both. They'll comment on "subtle notes of chocolate" because wines—like beer, coffee, and everything else—have tons of flavor compounds. And they're made of more than just grapes or yeast; barrel aging imparts yet more flavor compounds, and the specifics (oak, steel, level of char, type of oak, if the barrels have been reused, etc.) add yet more variables. I'm not saying that some of it isn't bullshit (https://xkcd.com/915/), but it sounds like you're trying to make the point that all wine could just be replaced with Welch's and vodka and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

I think one of the greatest things about the M68K today is that it's a relatively powerful processor that's relatively straightforward to program and it's pretty easy to design hardware that uses it.

A single board computer with the m68k is still small enough that you can comprehend the schematics and build it at home (e.g. http://www.kswichit.com/68k/68k.html ), and it's a very valuable learning experience.

> But... the whole arbitration thing is itself a reaction (in many cases^) to general suckness of the legal system which is primitive, clunky, slow and often more trouble then the trouble it's trying to solve. It's wide open to abuse, and a lot of what we call law is in practice a mature "game" based on abuse of the legal system.

Maybe. It's interesting to note that businesses still prefer court to arbitration in their disputes with each other. https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/06/business/06arbitrate.html. And business-to-business arbitrations tend to have many of the procedures (and expense) of litigation--lawyers, briefing, hearings, etc. The biggest advantage is that arbitration can be lot faster, because the civil court system is so overloaded with cases.

I think a good route would be to get as efficient a fan-cooled psu you could find and modify it yourself. You can always take the PCBs out of the case and add bigger heat sinks, change the TIM under those heat sinks, add water blocks if needed, desolder components and swap with higher wattage components, etc.

Or you could just submerge the whole machine in mineral oil. That technique really sucks, though. As cool as it is to have a fully submerged computer, it's hell to clean literal liquid laxative out of a PCIe slot when it's time to upgrade the graphics card.
I agree with all of this, and would only add that it seems like the market has already handled this strange circumstance.

I enjoy great wine and it seldom costs more than $8 a bottle. Some people really want to buy expensive things for the sake of luxury alone, and since wine is so easy to make (and apparently to project your tastes onto) we have amazing choices at nearly all price points.

I'm not just being blue collar, either --- I'll readily admit that very expensive whiskey tastes VERY different from cheap whiskey, and much better too. There's no such thing as a $8 bottle of whiskey that tastes just as good as $90 bottle, but that's exactly how wine works. And, I suspect it's exactly why there's such price variation too. (I mean variation in the sense that a cheap bottle is as high quality as an expensive bottle. For whiskey, a cheap bottle is low quality, and an expensive bottle can be high quality.)

It's not unusual to try to start it and not be able to get into it because many aspects are so dense and confusing. Rather than start at page one, try to first get an overview of the message and purpose of Jesus by listening to an audio sermon, like this one from Mosaic in Los Angeles, "Why Jesus?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jqlZlYlr2c

Now, as you work through the Bible, Old and New, attempt to see if pictures in the old testament portray this one message, using Jesus as a lens. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typology_(theology) for some examples.

There are Bibles with the references to Jesus in the Old Testament highlighted, which will help you do this. The Jesus-Centered Bible [0] has allusions made to Jesus in the Old Testament printed in blue text and is probably the most useful for doing this. The Gospel Transformation Bible: Christ in all of Scripture [1] has extensive footnotes showing the message of Jesus in the narrative and poetry that precedes him by hundreds of years.

The wine industry always was that way. It really took off in America in the 70s and the number of small craft producers has been on an upward slope ever since. While the beer industry consolidated into a small number of large producers, wine has done the opposite.

There are trends (just as everyone in beer spent 15 years trying to make hoppier, higher ABV IPAs) but if anything beer is following wine, not the reverse.

Here is how spitbol script measures against wc.

As with k, I am lacking in spitbol experience and so the counts are not identical to wc. Also I am using 10MB of big10.txt instead of the entire file.

1.spt:

;* m line count, c word count, o char count
;* p word pattern

; n = "0123456789"
; w = n &ucase &lcase "-"
; p = break(w) span(w)
;a a = input :f(c)
; o = o + size(a)
; m = m + 1
;b a ? p = :f(a)
; c = c + 1 :(b)
;c output = m ' ' c ' ' o
;end

dd if=big10.txt bs=5m count=2 of=10m.txt

time -p wc 10m.txt

201346 1763181 10485760 10m.txt
real 0.51
user 0.44
sys 0.00

time -p spitbol 1.spt < 10m.txt

201347 1770831 10235302
real 0.33
user 0.31
sys 0.01

It appears that spitbol script is faster than wc.
The company I work for has maybe 20+ of the 1st generation version in our office. We even have a few of the 84 inch models. I have to say they are great to work with when you are collaborating with people and need to use a white board, video conference, or just view a web application. I can't stand using one of the few conference rooms here that does not have one anymore.
I liken this to a hotel that decides to make their own lightbulbs. Or a department store that produces it's own bespoke cash registers.

Especially considering their customer service and product quality (read: host integrity) issues.

> chilled red and white wines down to the same temperature

What temperature did you serve them at? I'm not going to argue that your results aren't what they are, but white wines and red wines are served at different temperatures for a reason. Temperature definitely has a noticeable effect on taste, with colder things having more muted flavours than warmer things (this is why soda tastes acceptable when it's over ice, and unbearably sweet when it's warm) so really what you're establishing here isn't "white wines and red wines taste the same", but "when you serve a red wine at a non-recommended temperature, it doesn't taste like what people expect it to taste like" which seems reasonable but also not interesting.

It would be more interesting if, in addition to serving chilled white wine alongside chilled red wine and daring people to tell the different, you also served recommended red-wine-temp red wine with recommended-red-wine-temp white wine, and see if you can tell the difference.

So, the person appeared competent and capable, and "may have been our best performing AE" but it's "better to suss it out early" by immediately rejecting him?

Sounds like they should have considered some sort of short-term contact to evaluate the guy. Instead, their ego was bruised, so they rejected him and patted themselves on the back.

It works best in an IDE, or in my case in Emacs where I can jump to each error in turn. On the command line or in an interactive mode (REPL, notebook, &c.) I usually just want one error at a time. I’ve had fairly good luck with this in C# in Visual Studio or Xamarin Studio with Roslyn, although I don’t actually use .NET much—even though I worked on Mono for a few years, hah.

It also really depends on the grammar of the language how well you can do recovery. Ideally a language should be designed from the beginning to support it. Simple example: if a language allows nested function definitions with the same notation as top-level definitions, then you can’t reliably insert a missing closing bracket for a definition, because you can’t assume that the next one is a new top-level; it could be nested. (Although of course you can use heuristics like indentation to get around this.)

Anyway, the point of successful recovery is that the diagnostics later in the file are not spurious. And if the compiler supports recoverable parsing, you can still have a mode where it just bails out after the first error if that’s what you prefer.
There is a big difference between embellished and fake. I always assume there is some title/responsibility inflation on resumes i read, but i generally assume that those people did in fact work at those companies in those groups, etc.

Hi,

I'm 30 and trying to relearn the math courses I did in college (Computer Science degree) and more. I am currently using Standford & MIT's open couseware. I feel like I am moving slower than I would if I were in a course but able to grasp the material better at this rate... I made good grades in my math courses but like you, I didn't have to use them in software engineering that much. I would like to get into a field that requires a stronger grasp of mathematics but also has a need for programming and computation (maybe machine learning or computational biology). I feel like I'm getting tired of being a software engineer (defense contractor) at a small company and looking for something higher level
