Homebrewer here as well. There's plenty of chemical compounds that yeast produce that give various notes that kind of resemble something else. For instance aldehydes (notably acetaldehyde) is a yeast byproduct that gives off a "green apple" flavor. Usually in beers this is considered a flaw, but I notice that some wines promote that aspect as positive if it's not overwhelming.

Diacetyl is another one -- this has a "buttery" flavor. This is considered a flaw in some styles, but is naturally present in others (English ales notably often have a little bit of this in it). Some wines are very "buttery", I understand in particular those that use a process called malolactic fermentation (where diacetyl is a byproduct) are prone to it.

From what I can Google you can get chocolate notes in wine either from the tannins in grapes, or the charring process used on barrels. However, I haven't been able to Google specific chemicals. In beer, "chocolate notes" can come from some of the toasted / roasted malts out there (IMHO more on the pale end of the "chocolate malt" spectrum -- darker "chocolate malts" taste more "coffee" like to me).

A fair bit of places offer a "off flavor" kit for beers that allow you to train your tastebuds on at least the common "faults".

The cost of production sets a floor on the price, because if you can't sell it for what it cost you to produce then you won't stay in business. (That's true for any product.) But a bottle of Romanee Conti retails for $15,000 or more. I guarantee you it didn't cost them anywhere near that much to produce it. Even inspecting every single grape by hand wouldn't cost that much.
What an absolute waste of time of an article.

They couldn't have said that line at the top? Or would no one read it then?

ProTip: Don't read this article.

I was so annoyed at being tricked I'm posting this to warn off the next reader, and I flagged the story to really get rid of it.
Alternately (although this would really change the sport) you could look at moving away from mounting the head-protection on the head. Instead you mount a cage on the chest and shoulder pads - like a spinal recovery halo brace without the skull drills. A wearable rollcage.

It would look absurd and reduce their mobility, but it would shift the impacts from the head to the torso.
How to store time-series data in MongoDB, and why that’s a bad idea

Sorry in advance for the length.

The big takeaway I got from the article was that the ego actually resides in the Default Mode Network and that psychedelic experience almost completely deactivates it.

This allows me to construct the idea that meditation, which removes focus from sensory experience and concentrates it in the DMN, is akin to working on your self rather than obliterating and reconstructing it, if only for a short time.

This idea survived only as long as it took for me to search 'dmn meditation', which reveals that concentration meditation also reduces DMN activity.

So why did I feel that meditation increased activity in the DMN? Well, when I was learning meditation all those years ago, the usual stepping off point is through concentration practices, which obviously will quiet the DMN down through task-focus. Eventually you reach the point where you can go exploring in the spaces of your mind.

But the sheer magnitude time investment needed to self-induce into trance and the cognitive effects I'd seen in people who really identified with doing lots of it warned me off of it pretty early.

I instead settled into a pattern whereby every few years I'll sense the need for a reboot, then self-induce for awhile, until it didn't seem to be all that helpful anymore. The last such session had me doing inductions every few nights and slowly pulling back on how deep I go before ending the session.

Now I understand that a person's mind builds up 'structures' over time and they need to get swept away every now and again for good health. I was leery of psychedelics for so many years for the same reason I didn't want to do hardcore meditation.

Essentially, it's the 'ego-shattering' nature of turning off the DMN for so long that makes me wary of it. Good to do every now and again, but I don't like what happens when you do it often. I've conversed with many people who have done this to themselves, and they present as drug addicts to me, not as fully-functioning, let alone super-functioning, humans. Rather than grow as human beings, they're growing as some weird alien species.

So my own personal journey has me organize my life around greater DMN activation with occasional breaks, like to do programming work or play ping pong, then every once in awhile trance out and break through to a new understanding. It's very important to me to integrate trance experiences, I spend a lot of time on it, and it's one reason trance induction is just too heavy to do regularly.
It depends on the field you're in. For example, if you're in an area that heavily uses differential equations (many engineering disciplines) then you're probably gonna be using eigenvectors a lot, as they are important for solving a lot of problems. Other areas may not need them at all. It also depends on your depth in the field. A rank and file engineer may not need to know anything about them - they underpin a lot of numerical methods, but get hidden away in software packages. Someone developing those software packages likely will, though. Techniques based on eigenvectors and eigenvalues are extremely important in my field (nuclear engineering... you've probably heard the term "critical", that refers to an eigenvalue), but I know someone who is an excellent civil engineer and knows next to nothing about them (or linear algebra in general) because they aren't that important for what he works on.

Forgetting stuff you don't use is pretty normal, the important thing is to be able to recognize when a technique you don't remember the details of might be applicable, and to know where to look to refresh your memory.

P3P is unnecessary until you have clients complaining that Internet Explorer users cannot use the site and it's hurting their business. I speak of experience.

Curiously enough, P3P enforcement depends on the operating system and not on the browser. Internet Explorer 11 may or may not care about P3P depending if you're on Windows 7 or Windows 10.

Same here. Algos surfacing stuff I don't care about at all (and can't turn off!), and I've run across enough instances of the official app/page not showing me some tweets (checked exhaustively for a couple days of tweets around the ones it missed, couldn't find) that I've utterly dropped the official clients.

Talon supports the use-case I care about: reading all the tweets from people I follow because I care about them. Twitter and Facebook both make this nearly impossible, so I don't use them directly.
When you're trying to read quickly, a single space makes it harder to spot the end of a declarative sentence because periods are so small. FTA: With two spaces, "[t]he space also comes into the periphery of one’s vision before it arrives, and that helps to signal that the sentence is wrapping up. (For the same reason, I've sometimes used bullets • and pilcrows ¶ after periods to better separate sentences.)

The only argument I've ever seen for one space is that two spaces are supposedly ugly because they can cause rivers of white space to run down the page. IMO readability is more important.
An operating theory of chessboxing i have heard is that it's really, really hard to play chess very well at all once you've been punched in the head. As such, chessboxing is essentially boxing, with extended breaks between rounds, during which the contenders happen to play chess.

I like the refrain, “The trains don’t pay for themselves.” As if they ought to. National parks don’t pay for themselves. Neither do the police or fire department. Some things need public investment and shouldn’t pay for themself.

I think the point you're making has some validity, but a plea bargain is a lot more analogous to an "out-of-court" settlement in a civil suit than it is to contractually agreeing to binding arbitration.

That is, I cannot sign away my right to a criminal trial right now, not having committed or been accused of any criminal offense.

Whereas I can sign away my right to a civil trial now, not having yet committed any breach of contract.

No, I said that the party was attended by ~80 people, some of them took my bottle of wine from among all available bottles and drank it (most people looked at what is available and then decided what to get).

It's definitely not cheaper than using free fonts. Or even modifying an existing one -- it's not as if Airbnb's exclusive use of this font is going to benefit them in any measurable way. Even if that were necessary, it seems like they should have just paid Netflix to use their font, and maybe make some changes, rather than working with Dalton Maag to make damn near the same thing.

Securing User Emails in Rails
Kizer says>"However, it seems to me that elements of the REST "style" are constricting for no reason.

Probably b/c you don't understand REST and its history?

Kizer says>"I can't summon any kind of compelling justification for a restriction to only GET, PUT, POST, DELETE - aside from their analogy with CRUD I guess."

That is an invalid analogy, but your desire to know why it is an invalid analogy may motivate you. Learning about REST will enlighten you.

Unfortunately enlightenment is something one must gain oneself. Google for "Representational State Transfer REST" and follow the most interesting URLs until the light bulb goes on. Or try:

> I liken this to a hotel that decides to make their own lightbulbs.

The key differentiator between AirBnB and a hotel is the community. By adopting a more flippant variation of the well-known humanist sans-serif fonts, they're communicating that their experience is more about the people and the connections than just the physical infrastructure of a boring old Helvetica hotel.

Having their own typeface is good strategically because it helps to create a moat around the product experience.

It's similar to how Wal-Mart created their own typeface to double down on their American-as-apple-pie branding. Now every time you drive past a Wal-Mart, the font tells that story before you even walk into the store.
I agree. Won't we always need local news?
I mean I'd put all of the beers you listed under the drinkable category - with Miller High Life marginally more flavorful than its compatriots in that list.

It entrusts the identity to carriers. What use of having perfect peer-to-peer security if you can't be sure who you are talking to? So you will send the data to Eve in a perfectly secure way, while thinking you're talking to Bob - and that's better than Eve breaking the encryption? I say it's much less work for Eve - instead of employing vast resources to exploit a tiny vulnerability in encryption, she would just need to take over a phone number. And if she works for the government, it's not even a hard thing to do.
The Case Against Education: Caplan-Glaeser Debate
I did ASM on the TI-83 when I was in high school. Self-taught from the reference manual. Didn't know how to properly use the stack or write functions in ASM at the time...my code was a mess! Still, was quite a lot of fun with the only danger of having to yank the batteries if you messed up.

By the time I got a TI-89 around 1999, I was in college and just didn't have the time to do anything substantive with programming it.

I'd dust it off, but mine is old enough to just have the I/O port, and don't know that I have any functioning computers with a parallel or serial port for the old TI Link.

The Racism Treadmill
One of the ways forced arbitration benefits companies is that the individual being subjected to it knows their complaint will be decided by a kangaroo court.

They also know that any award they might receive will be smaller, and that if they do not win the case, the process will be costly and without appeal.

If the win rates remain unchanged after filtering out most of the consumer/employee complainants who don't have a slam dunk case, that is likely because there is systemic bias.

This doesn't make any sense. You're not running a charity. If you can get customers with the tripled price, then do triple it. If you can get customers with a 100x price, you'd be a fool not to 100x your price.

If, on the other hand, you can't get customers for triple the price, then tripling it will just make people go to someone else. You're not hurting anybody either way...
I wouldn't mind hearing some details on perf. I would imagine a lot of filtering can happen at the true edge via BPF, kernel mods, or otherwise zerocopy mechanisms.

I wish the m68k architecture had beat out Intel.
That's the joke, but unfortunately the drafters of this RFP seem to not be in on it.
68k was the easiest 'language' I ever learned. You had the reference manual, the instruction timings, no middleware, it was awesome and I made my future career from the age of 12 by writing Amiga / ST stuff.

Best thing is - it was me against the machine. If anybody did something that moved more sprites than I did, or did better parallax, it was because they were better than I. No driver incompatibility to blame. I loved programming in 1984, it made me tolerate less shit and produce better code than people who were less fortunate to be born later.

I miss those days :(
What a terrible stance for a company like Fastly to take:

More debatable perhaps is Via, which is required (by RFC7230) to be added to the response by any proxy through which it passes to identify the proxy. This can be something useful like the proxy’s hostname, but is more likely to be a generic identifier like “vegur”, “varnish”, or “squid”. Removing (or not setting) this header is technically a spec violation, but no browsers do anything with it, so it’s reasonably safe to get rid of it if you want to.

Actually, it isn’t “debatable,” since the debate occurred, and a decision was made, and published. That’s what RFCs are for.

To ignore them with such wanton disregard speaks volumes.

Edit: to clarify, I didn't mean that RFCs should not be debated at all, only that disregarding this because "no browsers do anything with it" didn't seem like a good justification or stance.

Downs in American Football make a huge difference too. Teams have 3/4 tries to go a total of 10 yards. A yard on a running play is very important so running full blast into someone to gain/prevent an extra yard is worth it. In Rugby, it doesn't really matter if you go 3 or 4 yards before being tackled.
