I usually get the technical information (temps, basic ingredients, etc) from the Internet, my wife, or Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. I also have a cookbook by America's Test Kitchen about pressure cookers which is a good start. But then I modify based on what I have lying around. At a certain point I just reach a level of comfort with the tools and I can just throw something together without looking at any resources. That's pretty much the way it is with cooking meat in the pressure cooker now.
In a way, you're suggesting a cynical though (arguably) realistic stance. Which is logical, but a hard sell in the very political world of unions. A lot of these people have an emotional attachment to their job, or at least the idea of having a job.

Edit: In other words, you can't put a price on purpose.
Yeah, in fact that's exactly the same reason for me. I remember when I started using GNU/Linux, trying to grok the most useful shell commands, and stumbling into awk... then quickly going somewhere else.
What you're describing parallels the struggle between monarchs. Territory is a zero-sum game so conquer your neighbors or risk being conquered. Unless you trust your neighbors, in which case peace can be even more profitable.

The arguments hold where power is highly centralized, however democracies tend to see the world very differently.
They should probably just remove it. Long press would almost always achieve same thing. And is slightly more intuitive.

If you’re doing anything involving electronics at mass market consumer cost/scale it is extremely likely to be manufactured in China.
Maybe we should care about beauty because Nature cares about beauty the way she cares about symmetry. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe Emily Noether’s intellectual heir will find a link between the conservation of energy and Kolmogorov complexity (if this hasn’t already been shown).
Yeah, I've only used the search box since Windows 7 when it was introduced. I find it a lot faster than clicking through the menu. It seems like it's difficult for some people to get the hang of after so many years without that option being available though. I do believe it's on Microsoft for not introducing it well though.
This is a bit sensationalized. Cost for many parts will increase by 25%, but there's more to 'making electronics' than a pile of parts.
the dickless brigade voted me down. Confirms they're in the context of what I wrote above. Upvote as hell.

Man, why can't we just use RSS as it was intended?
AIUI ...

The presence of Top was predicted with the finding of Bottom, in order to maintain symmetry. It was expected to have a higher energy otherwise it would have been found ... but the energy turned out to be much higher. It wasn't that it was predicted to be low energy and was found to have a higher energy, it was that we knew it had higher energy than Bottom, but just not how high - like climbing a convex hill covered in cloud, one can't see the top, and one isn't sure until you reach it how high it's going.

It's my understanding that the unpredictably high energy hasn't properly been accounted for but is believed to relate to Yukawa couplings.

The energy was predicted within certain lower+upper bounds in '94 just prior to the confirmation of the Top in '95, and a Nobel was awarded for that work [relating to T parameters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peskin%E2%80%93Takeuchi_parame...) which I don't claim to understand! 't Hooft and someone, erm, ...].

In part I believe it relates to how the Higgs works and whether the Higgs is composite - possibly being comprised of Top and Anti-Top in one theory.
That code seems suspect. Throwing and catching BaseException is bad/has some weird consequences and probably unintentional - I assume the author meant to use Exception? Pathologically avoiding `elif`. Misspelling `inspect` in the code examples which are ostensibly verbatim Python sessions.

In general, lambda functions are less necessary in Python because functions are first-class. The lambda syntax is useful for extremely trivial functions, e.g. `sorted(a, key=lambda value: value.foo_bar())`, but otherwise "normal" functions work just fine/better - especially since you can define a function wherever you want. (This is how it's supposed to be. E.g. in Java or Javascript, code using many lambdas can be a royal pain to debug.)

Maybe related, I dislike the use of `map` and `filter`. Almost all real-world cases are more readable using list/dict/set comprehension or generator expressions. The only thing missing now is assignment expressions (PEP 572, [0]) so I can do a map + filter in one comprehension.

Black Sallah as Muslim communities clash over prayer ground – Daily Post Nigeria
While Jewish people make up less than 2% of the American population. They constitute 67% (yes you read correctly!) of Harvard graduates. In many cases "white privilege" is in fact Jewish privilege. Even after correcting for higher mean verbal IQ, there is still a high overrepresentation. Which leads to nepotism (Harvard leadership is predominantly Jewish) as the most likely explanation. This sounds to me like institutional racism against Asian- and European Americans.

Not only me then.. I thought I was just getting old.
Maybe beauty is merely a word for "my brain has crunched vast amounts of data and concluded that something very, very fundamentally appealing is going on here and I shall call that by a word suggesting visual appeal because I assessed that appeal with my eyes."
All I am willing to say is that my colleague and I made the suggestion to the Patent committee before we knew anything about the actual design of the iPhone (or even that there really was going to be one). In essence, we imagined what would be needed to enable a click-wheel to function for text and numeric input, and proposed a solution. We were surprised that the committee accepted the proposal - and, when we finally were disclosed on the iPhone, there was no click-wheel! But the patent was granted.
Curiously, we see a similar situation today with open source software. The free nature of it would seem to stifle creation of top quality open source software, but the reverse seems to be true. The open source business is thriving.
Well, actually I find the last code far better and easier than the original one. As I wrote in the article, if you want to add a factorial method you just need to change the catalog of the function provided by adding this line

“!”: lambda x: math.factorial(x),

However, it’s probably a matter of taste... but I do like the last code more. :)

Supersymmetry was "beautiful" (i.e. it was produced by the conscious mind) and hence in a sense more "likely", so disproving it is as valuable as proving other "beautiful" theories (e.g. GR and Mercury's orbit).

This is the reason why I quit buying anything from Amazon anymore if I can help it. They're not interested in fixing it.

What I can't understand is this: even if they comingle, they must know which seller owns which item. If they didn't, how would they pay the right seller once a particular item is sold? And yet, there seems to be no accountability at all.

Some results that I remember just now:

* There is a recent 4.5+4.8 sigma excess in neutrinos oscillation that hints a new neutrino https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/06/weird-neutrino-exces... [technical note, you can't add sigmas naively, 4.5+4.8=6.1]

* The value of the magnetic moment of the muon (g) is too high. IIRC this result has only a 2.5 or 3 sigma, so it's far from confirmed.

* There are some experiment to prove that the neutrino is a majorana particle and that the neutrino and the anti-neutrino is the same particle. I don't remember any good announcement, so I think that the experiments have still too early results or the results are not interesting. [I don't like this theory, but many people that knows more than me like it.]

I don't know what high quality cables you're talking about. Apple's cables are the only cables in my life which decay themselves without any interaction. I never saw this phenomenon nor before nor after. And I'm talking about video iPod, iPhone 4S, iPad 3, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro. I owned all those devices and all cables broke after 1-2 years of use. Thankfully, cheap Chinese cables work flawlessly, so it wasn't a problem for old iDevices (didn't have to find lightning cable replacements yet). But it was a big problem for macbooks with their terribly overpriced PSUs.
Correct, but the BOM has direct impact on costs incurred.
> Turns out she has around 200 patents (with other people mostly).

I have no idea about these patents, but it's certainly possible that those particular patents describe functional subcomponents/processes of an overall system that doesn't work.

> How come some prominent physicist or biologist doing "competition research" didn't declare that the patents were based on bogus claims?

I'm not sure what "competition research" means. In any case, approximately 0% of prominent scientists read patents. Patents are written both for and by lawyers/courts.

Any theory that predicts something other than the "expected" can be falsified by observing the "expected".

To use the swan argument from down-thread: If a theory predicts a) All swans are drawn from a single distribution of colors and b) 1% of swans will be black, then the observation of a few thousand white swans will be sufficient to rule out said theory.
It has many types of transactions, in fact it has an entire script language for creating different types.
The same goes for bytes being any size. No compiler supports that outside of some specialized DSPs, and essentially no C software would even work on such machines unless it was specifically written for them.

Lua really is a fantastic example of how to design and write an interpreter. The style and details can be debated, but the high-level design is expertly crafted and something I wish more interpreters would take inspiration from.

I dislike the language, but the combination of its well-designed interpreter(s) and the general fat-free language design makes it the least shit of the popular scripting languages in my eyes.

luajit is also a very well designed JIT compiler, but I wouldn't recommend it for beginners because of how dense it is. Understanding luajit is comparable to understanding something out of the demoscene because of how much gets squeezed out of every line of code.

Beauty is a feature of our Universe. It's not that surprising to find it also in descriptions (equations, theories). Beauty is a Universe-y characteristic.

I imagine if we were in a different universe then our concept of beauty would differ and perhaps, perhaps, conform more to the parameters of theories that described that universe.

Not enough editing is a problem that happens in other media too. The Hobbit film trilogy (why?), Twin Peaks The Return, and Robert Jordan novels come to mind. Often kicks in when people don't have anyone with enough authority to tell famous artists "this scene sucks, cut it".

Netflix is a double-edged sword. You no longer need to fill time for a format, so you can murder your darlings to your heart's content. On the other hand, there's such a tiny incentive to make a show shorter, that there aren't enough voices telling directors to cut the dead weight.
Holmes figured out a pathway to violate the trust of old man wisdom. Sounds like she just fished the right old men. One of those that that’s incredibly mature in one aspect of life and threw all her effort in that direction naively ignoring the rest of of what “trust” actually facilitates.

Genuine question: What makes you love the default terminal so much?

I recently had to switch from Ubuntu to a Mac when switching jobs and it feels like everyone is using iTerm2 instead of stock.

For me (coming from Ubuntu) having cmd/ctrl switched for most default keybindings, but not for terminal signals (ctr-c and ctrl-d for cancel/terminate) and no middle-click copy are huge painpoints when working with any terminal in mac.
To use your own argument, I was also making a claim from experience that in general, whenever I see someone making that argument they tend to be racist or at least ignorant as to the history of the United States.

And in most scenarios when I've had to argue against isolationists they tend to ignore issues such as Americans refusing to work in certain labor sectors that illegal immigrants tend to work (and be abused without employers being punished, see: farm work) the way we treat immigrants right now (especially those seeking asylum) and so forth which ends up leading to a root motivation of racism rather than any actual practical reasons.

You've also managed to paint them with the stereotypical 'they took our jobs' mindset which, well, tends to thrive in more xenophobic communities.
It didn't 100% signal homosexuality, but it signaled that something was odd, with homosexuality as a possibility.

I'll also note that a lot of gay people from that era report that they felt pressured to be heterosexually married to fit in. I have a couple of friends from a more recent era, currently in their mid 60s, who felt that pressure when they were younger. One had "an arrangement" with his wife, and two "came out" in their 50's and had extremely messy divorces.
Especially with the "top sites" or "highlights" feature of contemporary browsers, that in essence show different doors, invite into other worlds as soon as you open a new tab. So instead of going where you wanted to go you get disoriented by all the offerings.

Addendum:

Platforms are because of the market dynamics remarkably long-lived. In the case of iOS, the APIs date back to like 1985, with Next Inc. In the case of Android, back to 2003.

The platform-level APIs and frameworks tend to be grown organically, in a way that is quite far away from the yearly fads.

It's really hard to hire people who are actually good at the core aspects of these platforms - most new devs seem to get sidetracked by the latest shiny framework, that will then die 3-5 years later. Meanwhile the platform APIs live for multiple decades, and take a lot of effort to master.

Right, the startups in bay area, good groups at Apples, Googles and Facebooks of the world are filled with people from Infosys ;)

>Literally every scam I saw in H1B is from body shops in US

That's partially true; I will let it slide

I understand you are frustrated, but you are barking up the wrong tree. The trouble is the easy jobs i.e, low-skilled in high-tech, are already filled. For example, see clouts of Infosys employees in some US companies. These days, people have two options, be really good at what they do, or find a clout to stick to. May be you had a hard time sticking to the Infosys clout(I am not surprised, given that you like to think). Don't blame it on others. If anything, most of the technically competent desi people in US have a US degree.
If it considers parametric types to be interface {}, is that a kind of type erasure? I don't know much about Go, but it's my understanding that interface {} types have an extra layer of indirection and are essentially just pointers.

Moving from Ruby to Python, for me one of the initial frustrations was being unable to define multi-line anonymous functions, though eventually I accepted the wisdom of Python's conservative philosophy over Ruby's "Do what makes you happy".

But I'm glad that Guido et. al decided to keep lambda around. It feels like the right tradeoff with syntactic sugar, as one-line anonymous functions offer just enough utility in a limited scope. In contrast, having to formally define trivial functions feels like too much overhead and clutter.
Dart is a simple language to understand especially if you come from a Java/Scala/Swift background. It’s also quite elegant with decent streams and asynchronous support.

The problem with React Native is that the complexity is higher, routing/navigation a mess on iOS and the dev experience is nowhere near as fast or polished as Flutter’s.

My strong suggestion is to invest a week with your team to learn React Native and then spend a week with Flutter. A week is enough to pick them up.

Well, for example, Mac OS still ships with a version of Bash from 2007, while in the meantime I can now run pretty much most major Linux distributions in Windows without the need for any VM.

I love my Mac. I do. But, every new release is a little more locked down and a little more proprietary. Gatekeeper and code signing keep getting nudged a little closer to mandatory. For example, if you build your own GDB, you can't use it to debug without going through steps to sign it. dtrace no longer works correctly without additional steps. OpenGL has now been deprecated.

I love my Mac. I've been using them since the original Mac 128k. But, I feel like the writing's on the wall, and in ten to twenty years, the Mac will be a locked down platform like iOS. I hope I'm wrong, but... I've been getting comfortable with Linux on the desktop, in case I'm not.
> Curiously, we see a similar situation today with open source software

I strongly disagree. Here are four notable counter-examples:

1. Desktop Linux. I'm a religious Linux desktop user, but MacOS is definitely a better operating system.

2. Office suites. Libreoffice/OpenOffice/whatever-we're-supposed-to-call-it-these-days is stuck in the 1990s.

3. Videogames.

4. Large web services (Google Search, GMail, Facebook).

Notice that four these examples, where closed-source software outshines OSS in quality, cover 90+% of most people's computer time...

Open source software seems to do especially well mostly when the end-user of the software product is a programmer/software engineer/IT type.
Thanks for your explanation, that part was unclear to me.
