I feel your pain. My best IP recipes are adaptations I've made from old recipes of my family's.

Here's my Cajun mother-in-law's red beans and rice recipe. She's from
Chauvin, LA and this recipe is my favorite for when my wife is away and I'm cooking for the kids.

You'll need:

1 pound red kidney beans

1 link of Hillshire Farms smoked sausage (like polish style)

1-2 bay leaves

Brown rice or long-grain white rice

Crystal brand hot sauce

Rinse 1 pound of red kidney beans, then cover with 3-4" of water and soak overnight. The next morning, dump the water and rinse them thoroughly.

Chop one medium-sized yellow onion and one celery stalk.

In your pressure cooker, go a few times around the pot with olive oil and heat until shimmering.

Add the onion and just brown the shit out of it. Seriously, I always stop too soon. My mother in law gets it all nice and browned, like chocolate. Use sauté mode on your IP and turn it up to the high heat setting. When it's about halfway browned, I add the celery to the pot for the rest of the browning.

Once the onions brown, cut the heat and add 5 cups of water. If I was doing this in the crock or regular pot, I'd add way more but since we're not losing any to steam, give is perfect.

Scrape all of the burnt crap off the bottom of the pan.

Add the beans to the pot along with a bay leaf or two and one link of smoke sausage (like Hillshire Farms polish sausage style) cut into circular slices about 1/4" thick.

Bring to pressure and then cook for 15 minutes. This is how long I did it in my Instant Pot, which may not be the same as your cookers. The IP brings it to 15 PSI and then lowers it and cycles between 10 and 11.5 PSI.

After 15 minutes of cooking, remove from fire and allow the pressure to release naturally. At about 15-20 minutes, I just manually dumped what little pressure there was left.

Salt to taste. Refrigerate overnight before reheating and serving because it just tastes better that way.

Serve over brown rice or regular long-grain white rice if you prefer.

The Cajuns put Crystal brand hot sauce on top. The regular kind (not the extra-hot). It's very tangy. I've never seen a bottle of Tabasco in a Cajun pantry.

Louisiana Brand is also okay if that's all you can get
First of all, this finding can be incorrect. It can be misdated, they may have made a mistake about the grain being processed into bread.

Even if they are 100% right, it doesn't really upend anything majorly. It just means what it says - hunter-gatherers turned the grains they gathered into bread 5000 years earlier than we thought. Any how, the Natufians and Chinese are thought to be the first two cultures to become agricultural.

What you're talking about is 20/20 hindsight. You're living in a world with self-driving cars and Mars space probes and croissants and corn and looking back with that lens. There were innumerable barriers entering into agriculture (and not only barriers, but most hunter-gatherer bands preferred roaming around their territory as opposed to remaining in one place all the time and doing the same thing every day).

We did not have corn and wheat and domesticated animals and oxen and crop rotation. Infectious diseases were as much a problem as when the New World's indigenous societies encountered Europeans.

Anthropologists say the Neolithic revolution was dramatic because it was dramatic. It was a complete transformation of society - more socially transformative than anything that has happened in the past 30000 years.
Yeah, I didn't mean that literally. Sorry if that wasn't obvious.

Just pointing out the irony of these historical references while there is near zero interest here in what is clear and present.

But, you know, carry on with the downvotes and confusion.
I've participated before only to be disappointed. I didn't even Beyer looking at their 'deals' this year. I consider this their garage sale to get rid of junk...unless you want to buy Amazon products like Ring.
And that’s exactly why they’re billionaires and you probably aren’t. It isn’t about functionality, it’s about ease of use. It’s the same argument used when MS-DOS was being replaced by the GUI.

Explain FTP to your Aunt Edna. Get FTP working where everything on all devices is in sync automatically. Comment on a file via FTP. Send a link to a file they can consume on a mobile device — including playing audio or video without downloading the file. Create access lists for folders.

Sure you could do it using FTP. Now do it cheaply at scale and make it work everywhere and then convince your non tech friends to use it.

Why bother with GPS when we could all use a map and compass? Dropbox made file syncing accessible to everyone cheaply and securely.
Habanero and mustard makes a great base flavor for hot sauces. My introduction was via Aji Chombo hot sauce from Panama. The addition of sweet and fruitiness and the cumin and curry sounds amazing.
Good comment. Dropbox is like how companies used to be: offer an amazing service and stay in your lane.

You have a problem if, multiple times per day, you open the feed and just scroll through not looking for anything in particular.

As you mention, it seems like your workflow is very action oriented. You use it to communicate with people. But if you ever find yourself just scrolling through the feed for more than 10-15m per day, then you probably have a problem.
Yes, people do. What OP described is called fraud and people get terminated for fraud all the time.
Have a long-term purpose (what is purpose?). Stay away from toxic people, especially in love and business (what is toxic?). Wait a little before having kids (what is responsibility?). Travel widely (what are your limits?). Read good books (what do you not know?). Devote solid time to your hobby (is there purpose apart from work?). Cook for and entertain friends (where does your soul dwell?). Appreciate and practice your preferred sports and arts (what fuels your soul?). Enjoy life (why are you here?).
play video games because you want to, not because you want people to watch you. problem solved!

It's hush-hush in the industry that CAT5 and it's predecessor the CAT5+1, both are shielded with peanut butter. It's also a little-known fact that most datacenters or PCs as we in the NOC tend to call them. Are also built around tropical rainforests, which provide both security from the common man, as well as naturally cool down the millions of heatsinks needed for the cloud. But an even lesser known fact is that monkeys, yes monkies love peanut butter. --I'll leave the rest to your imagination. But one of those fat guys, drinking beer, with a hoodie, and in need of a bath left one of the windows open. The rest... well, the rest was prime.
Workplace culture makes a big difference, if your environment is very adaptable then the following advice is applicable I think. If your workplace culture is more rigid and things get locked in place by "policy, then first thing to advocate for is developing more fluid workplace culture where you can try and intelligently adapt your ways of working at a pace that makes sense.

1. Credibility. Be known for being open to ideas and wanting to try new things and get better at your craft. You want to make sure your concerns are in the context of trying to get the best outcome.

2. Be Informed. Dig deep, for most of those things you mentioned, there are people with deep insights about the topic and know the pros and cons

3. Try stuff out anyways. I've learnt a lot from trying things I'm a bit skeptical about. Sometimes I've been justified in my concerns, sometimes not.
Why do you have to challenge trends? At a workplace? Online? Why? What's the point?

"I believe are not suitable for every situation"

This is a strawman, of course, and it might betray that you aren't being entirely honest about your motives.

Not directly. But since people like Bezos own most of the productive machinery of the world, people really don’t have a choice except to work for one of the capital owners. In past times, people were free to work the land for themselves, as the land was held in common. Now somebody owns everything, and those of us who want to eat actually have almost “no choice” but to work for someone else.
Have you considered that you might be one? "not suitable for every situation" is a platitude.
My LTE on my Latitude E7250 has worked flawlessly...16GB of ram and an i7-5600U (2C, 4T, 2.6/3.2ghz)

I am a horrible user. I severely mistreat my equipment. My laptop rides in a backpack full of tools, crimpers, patch cables, sand. It goes on my back when I climb towers, work on buildings, and work in the office. It gets left in my black SUV in the Florida sun where it gets to 130+ deg f.

I've opened and closed the screen at least 4000 times since I bought it 3 years ago. It's been dropped several times. Sat on. Stepped on. Kicked. Liquids spilled on, both opened and closed. I've left it on and put it in my backpack more times than I can imagine(I disable stand-by on close) to later find it had shut itself down due to overheat. But it survives.

My cat sits on my lap, half over the keyboard, so it gets full of cat hair routinely.

I bought accidental damage protection because I was sure I would destroy it before it reached the end of it's useful life.

Nothing has broken and I've never had to even call Dell. The finish is getting worn on the keyboard because I use it easily 12 hours a day. The chassis has nicks and scrapes all over it. I just opened it for the first time since buying it to install a 1TB SSD. I took the keyboard apart at the same time and de-furred it.

And it has LTE. I've yet to see a Macbook even give you the option for LTE.

My girlfriend's MBA is sitting in the closet going on a year now with a cracked screen that nobody knows how it happened. Just opened it one day and it was cracked.

Everything may be pretty and work great inside a walled garden, but I prefer choices and options -- the ability to get exactly what I want.
Congratulations for wanting to challenge trends. This is a great way to develop mental and observational skills and perspectives in a way that can slow down the inevitable decline of everything.

First is to be able to take things apart. Things are complicated. Be able to see trends as a combination of factors and to see the results of trends as a set of somewhat distinct consequences, each of which may be both benign in some aspects and adverse in others.

Once you have a good breakdown of a trend's inputs and outputs, identify which outputs people might reasonably be expected to want to keep, which outputs almost any reasonable person would reject, and which are ambiguous or controversial. Then consider the inputs, which should never exist, which are too precious to expend for the results obtained, and which are uncontroversial.

Now design your challenge. If you are ambitious and do not mind losing, identify a single output as unacceptable and say that the whole trend is unacceptable, all the trenders are fools, and that they must all get along without whatever benefits the trend brings them. Your alternative is to apply a pragmatic engineering mindset, recognize the reasonable wants of reasonable people, and propose ways to retain or increase the worthwhile outputs and abate as many negatives as you can.
What you are describing doesn't sound so far off from say "IBM Watson" ;)

There are so many companies doing real work in AI. NVidia for example. Or Waymo. You could even start a GPU Cloud services business. Or seek an advanced degree in academia. Best of luck!
In fairness to Amazon I'll let you judge for yourself since they still list the prices as 149.99 and 139.99:

- Rexing V1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X528FNE/
- Rexing V1 3rd gen: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077B25H9K/

Half-way down the page there is a comparison with some other Rexing products, but it's not obvious IMO with the price confusion they create. I've seen it "on sale" for at least the last few months.
I wouldn't call it unprofessional, but in commit messages for the main shared branches (e.g. develop, master, etc.) it can easily detract from the purpose of informing about the commit. I'd grumble about seeing art in these messages and discourage their use generally.

Very cool. It will be interesting to see what sort of light shows are developed.
I think this is bad advice personally. Imagine if you complained about sexual harassment and were told to “bring solutions, not complaints.”

A complaint is useful feedback that can alert you to a coming problem or an unintentional pain point or a previously invisible suffering group of people.

It’s exactly attitudes that try to undermine the purpose of a complaint by trying to implicitly shift the burden of a solution onto the complainer that create an air of fear or timidity that mere feedback is not acceptable, and will be treated like it is the same as whining, preventing people from using the complaint as a mechanism to alert a wider group of problem solvers to the issue.

It doesn’t matter if it’s complaining to the police about a loud neighbor, complaining in a court of law about some harm you suffered, complaining to HR about sexual harassment or complaining to the waiter that your food was brought to you cold.

It should be seen as a perfectly polite, reasonable, and useful thing to complain and leave the solution up to someone else.

In cases when it’s appropriate for you to also propose a solution, because you have relevant skills or experiences or something, even better.

But you should never make someone feel like their complaint doesn’t deserve to be heard unless they also have a ready made solution in hand too.
Sounds like something I will like to make at home. What is curry though?
However, it does seem like they all see only two buildings, though. Interesting point!

Thailand's Bond Coin Means Faster Securities Settlement
Lots of educated people over centuries of refinement with concrete evidence that such methods improved chances for individual and collective human survival. Medicine, agriculture, industrialization, the green revolution, etc. There's tons of science that is continuously focused on progress and in a continuous state of refinement and acutely aware that studies must be reproducible and held to a standard.

If we collectively decide we can't trust our own individual senses, what do you think happens to our chances for survival?
From personal experience they hired lots of "people recently from the geographic location of India" gang-star managers who are full of their own shit. They wipe out anyone not Indian and execs love it because they want cheap H1B slaves. Surprise! they don't know shit, don't give a shit about US business, don't give a shit about American culture. Apparently don't give a shit about uptime.

Ktor webapp on Heroku
In the context of trying of get things done at work, which this question is apparently framed as, where the issue is not sexual harassment, I have found it to be a very effective rule of thumb.

I think you are reading in meaning that isn't there. It is a rule of thumb for precisely this type of goal. It is not a rule of thumb for how to deal with situations where you are clearly being wronged and it is clearly someone else's responsibility to right it.

But it works really, really well for trying to insert your agenda where doing so may not be all that welcome and where you are potentially stepping on toes politically, toes that could potentially cost you your job if they find you offensive enough. If you have a better way rather than just a criticism, it tends to be much, much better received.
Here is an example of Ktor webapp implementation with several third party components that can be quickly deployed on Heroku.
I agree that certified education got more expensive.
Education price in general got much cheaper with the Information Age. Just look at the body of knowledge that is available to everyone through scihub but also through legal venues. With enough of drive you can pick up a lot of knowledge for free.

If you’re smart you can self-educate yourself in many areas to a better level than 80% of the ivy-league alumni.
What you don’t get is:
- certificates with prestige
- network
- extrinsic motivation
That last line does change the vibe from "a cliff develops a new crack and a tourist attraction is closed" to "omg Yellowstone supervolcano Armageddon!!1"

My last suggestion is to opt into the strictest type checks from the beginning (using your tsconfig file). They can be annoying, but you'll benefit in the long run.
Currently there are supposed to be ones for all the 'major' events in Melbourne. It's quite surprising what you can do with 1ft resolution on a building that big :)
I would largely agree, though in a corporate environment the pressure to influence change in the organization is less driven by purely voluntary motives than the "trend jamming" (for lack of a better label) ambitions of the GP.

In both contexts, I would guess the key is recognizing that a trend exists because it answers a wide array of needs - many if not most of which have more to do with the geometries that govern the crystallization of social influence into familiar structures regardless of which novelty happened to seed them.

Even recorded history is extremely suspect until very modern times.

On the flip side, in ancient Chinese history it has been quite amazing to see how much detail preserved in written form has very recently been validated through archaeology. One major example was the 1980s discovery of the Shu kingdom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shu_(state)
And not just "fish sauces". Fermented fish paste adds richness and body. Even if the fishiness isn't obvious.

There are quite a few options for wording that in a way that doesn't sound like a personal attack. Example: "you're saying X but I perceive Y, so I wonder if you might be biased because of ABC". Also, putting things in the form of a question—as long as it's a genuine question and not sarcastic—can go a long way for communicating openness.
>The fact that 'revisionist' and 'historical revisionism' exist as concepts are troubling...

Historical revisionism usually refers to re-writing history on ideological grounds, i.e. "it would better suit my interest group if people thought it happened this way," or more insidiously "it confirms my belief system if it happened this way." That's why it exists as a concept, if someone is questioning the norm on the grounds of archeology and they get called revisionist that's just a misapplication of the term.
I ran into Liz Parrish at a longevity convention last year and she looked pretty damned good for being 2 years into CRISPRing herself. I cannot begin to fathom how wildly disruptive widespread modification of somatic cells would be to medicine and the drug industry. They'll just have to do it in China first I guess.

In the movie, the character Nathan built his search engine, "BlueBook", when he was only 13 and the original code he wrote was so groundbreaking that it inspired a comparison to Mozart.
