I'm a native English speaker and I've never heard most of those, probably because I didn't grow up in the UK.

When I went to university in Lancaster, I didn't know what a "bacon bap" was (it's a plain bread roll with bacon inside, maybe butter if you're lucky). People ate them for breakfast.

If someone said "batch", I'd probably be confused with "bach" (NZ slang for a small apartment, which is pronounced as if it has a "t" in it).

To save time reading the article, here's the list.

bread roll, blaa, batch, barm, teacake, currant teacake, muffin, bun, cob, oven bottoms, scufflers, breadcakes, barm cake, soft bap, crusty cob.

And a pun. How did the baker get an electric shock? He stood on a bun and a currant ran up his leg.
Ha, narrated by Tim Armstrong of Rancid fame -- until recently I hadn't listened to them since I was in middle school. Having lived in the Bay Area in the interim it was interesting to hear all of their references to Berkeley, San Francisco, Richmond, Campbell, etc. Half their songs seem to be about Bart stations.
Yes, I'm aware. How many of those do you think you could hide in a ten-light-year circle around Earth, and how long do you think it would be before we were able to find them? To a first approximation, the only things that we can see at stellar scales are stars, and all of the discussions on this topic seem to revolve around detecting radio transmissions. This page[0] gives pretty pessimistic numbers for the maximum SNR to Mars. There seems to be some massive disconnect between what people are looking for and what we are currently emitting, or what we might expect an advanced species to be emitting. And my assumption in these cases is that it's substantially more likely that I am a fool and missing something important rather than that everyone else is.

I checked the ceramic batteries but all I found was replacing electrolyte with ceramic materials. This won't solve all the problems, only some that occur due to physical damage. Since the wikipedia energy density is to my knowledge based on raw chemical performance, there would be no change as ceramics would only allow you to pack existing battery packs more densely.

And we're still talking about 2700 tons of battery to carry with the plane. Even if you improved the performance of a battery by an order of magnitude overnight, you'd still perform significantly worse than petrol fuel.

Regarding the taxi fuel; that includes other fuel consumption like the APU burning until engine start and 2 tonnes would be the standard usage for larger airports, smaller ones have 1 ton.

Also consider that I calculated pure flight performance, if you'd use electric engines to taxi then you'd need an even bigger battery that you can't shed.

Taxing by a tow truck is possible but likely too slow (you have to pull an entire airplane).

Regarding landing; Spaceshuttles are hardly comparable to normal airplanes. The Spaceshuttle when landing goes a lot faster than most airplanes can safely do at that altitude and requires all brakes and a parachute to slow down on an extra long runway. Airplanes already minimize fuel consumption when there is no engine really needed but for landing a normal airplane you need the engines 999 out of 1000 times.

well summarized, should tag tl,dr
This has been pretty extensively discussed in a few internal ISP-specific forums... Basically, because its longevity will be limited. Snowplows and other things will mess it up. Maybe it's useful if you want to go across the back edge of a parking lot between two buildings where it will never see real vehicle traffic. Microtrenching is a valid alternative.

Aerial fiber is pretty much always preferred as it can be 1/20th the build cost of underground.

The intensity of Hawking radiation is inversely proportional to the size of the black hole. It shrinks as it radiates and its output increases. Once the black hole is tiny, the level of radiation is intense enough that you could call it an explosion. This is why small black holes are excellent generators. You just dump some mass into them and they convert it rather quickly to radiation.

> making the app totally isolated from any config file (all config must be consumed from the environment)

Wait, so is it "config files shouldn't have comments" or "config files shouldn't exist at all"?

If all configuration is consumed from the environment, where are the values of the environment variables defined? eg, if instead of {"enable_foo": true} in a JSON config file you have an ENABLE_FOO environment variable, where does the value ENABLE_FOO=1 live? A shell script, a config database such as Consul or etcd, or something else?

It can't be turtles all the way down - at some point you have to have the configuration stored somewhere, whether that's a file or a different abstraction like a database. Wherever that storage location is, why are human-readable comments alongside the machine-readable values a bad thing?
I agree. Compared to Elon's sub that saved all those boys in the cave, this is nothing.
Has any one here worked at a non hierarchical company? It seems very alien to me to have an organization set up that way.
Yes.

The performance team uses NeoLoad scripts.

We have recently built a Jenkins server for them to use for kicking off those scripts, and will incorporate that into our CI/CD flow on other Jenkins servers.
Like the article briefly mentions at the end, I'm really a fan of Webpack's approach to configuration -- exporting the configuration from an executable script. It gets around most of the problems outlined here (numbers, comments, multiline strings...) while keeping all the JSON niceties. It no longer becomes cross-language, but seems like exporting a config object from an executable is a good alternative.
I don't mean to be glib, but is there a positive side? I mean, I know it is positive to the share holders, but what benefit does Mega-Disney have for the regular person? Regular-Disney got us the 95 year copyright, so the public doesn't need any more Disney power.
True! We actually do support this via triggers at the moment; but exposing UDFs directly is on our roadmap too.

Through a lot of my teen years, it could take me up to an hour to fall asleep. Once I got to college and I was able to adjust my sleep schedule a bit (no longer had to be at school by 7:30am), I could do it in 30 minutes. Now (mid-20s) I can do it in as little as 10-15 sometimes, if I'm lucky. More often I think it's 15-20.

I dunno what it is exactly. I feel like my brain just constantly wants to be thinking about things, like solving problems from my day or imagining fanciful scenarios or planning upcoming events. What do you think about when you lie down? Or are you able to just switch it off and not think about anything?
You'd trust then more if they told you an obvious lie: "we'll never make a mistake in the future"?
I code mostly in React. But I find Vue to be more productive. Bulletproof routing and state management.

I use React because I mostly develop React Native apps and React web apps. Vue doesn't have anything close to React Native. React has a slight edge over Vue when compared to availability of components(npm packages). Thus I maintain JS sanity.
Well, one of the last timeline events is "Around this vast timeframe, quantum tunnelling in any isolated patch of the vacuum could generate, via inflation, new Big Bangs giving birth to new universes.[108]"

Thus, the cycle of new big bangs continue on forever.

Granted, the timeline for that is 10^{10^{10^{56}}} which is beyond comprehension soooo.
It's kind of crazy just how much cheap swill gets sloshed around at minimum time just so that it qualifies the bond - only then to ship the barrels around to other producers for re-aging. IIRC most of barrels from Beam and Brown-Forman?

Lately it seems like there's so many sherry-aged whiskies and whiskey-aged something or other, or first-fill, second-fill, ends up traveling over three continents. Seems like the barrel coopers are the ones doing the best, but even then the wood itself is pretty contentious in terms of quality versus hype.
Finally, this is long overdue
Having two kids was the worst time for me:

I was still totally inexperienced and I now had two kids waking me up.

Two things that helped me a lot:

- don't let a child fall asleep with anything they cannot have the whole night (speaking of >6-12 months). No music, no falling asleep in front of a screen, make sure they don't fall asleep while drinking their last meal for the day. By all means: tell stories, sing, and make sure they get milk before they fall asleep though. The reason is, as far as I know that we subconsciously verify that everything is ok multiple times a night. For small kids that means everything is like it was: if there was music or if dad or mom was in the room - that's what they'll expect during the night.

- small children have to learn to fall asleep. We understand that kids needs help to learn eating real food, walking, talking etc, but it seems at least in my culture we somehow expect kids to understand how to fall asleep. They usually don't, and so the parents get worried: is there anything wrong? Maybe the kid is still hungry? Or afraid?

Instead I've learned to be very clear with myself and my wife when we start teaching the kids to sleep:

- I make sure the child is ok: not hungry, happy etc

- when I put them to bed I make sure they only have things they can keep all night, generally one (safe) toy and a pacifier (don't want to defend pacifier much but what made me decide for it was a slightly lowered risk of SIDS according to one doctor)

- the I sing a small song, say a few words and leave the room. The words I say before leaving are the same, every time.

- I then walk outside and start a timer for 60 seconds, walk in (even if they are silent, verify they are ok, say the same words, walk out, start a timer for 180 seconds and wait. I do this until I'm sure they are asleep. In particular I keep visiting the room every three minutes even if they are happy. This reinforces the idea that you'll look after them. If they aren't happy I give them the pacifier and toy, say the same words, leave.

- next day: first 3 minutes (180 seconds), then 5 minutes intervals until they are asleep.

- increase by two minutes every day (but usually my kids get it by the second or third day: Dad has not left, he'll be back soon enough even if I don't cry so I can just relax and play with this toy.)

- for my first kid it took more like a week because I waited for too long before I started sleep training.

Edit:

- Do use a timer!

- Do walk in even if the kid is just falling asleep!

- Do use the timer once to verify that the kids are actually asleep after you think they fell asleep!

On this thing's trajectory and apogee, re-entry heating will be minimal if any. I wonder if they've looked at putting a crushable/deformable honeycomb type single use structure bolted onto the bottom side, that can be replaced after every flight.
Short version: the measure is being challenged as beyond the power of a ballot initiative as it would constitute a “revision” rather than a mere “amendment” to the State Constitution. The Supreme Court has decided that the challenge warrants deferring the measure pending resolution of the challenge.

My commentary: obviously, there's no remedy possible if the measure were to be passed and implemented before a challenge was resolved, so deferring it makes sense; and, honestly, I think ultimately the challenge had to succeed in the merits. While the boundary between amendment and revision is not as clear as it should be, replacing the state with the new ones had got to be on the revision side or the distinction is meaningless.

I am hardly a mathematician, so I'm probably missing something, but I think it makes sense?

I believe it's well-established that elementary particles can spontaneously generate through quantum fluctuation. Assuming that this process is uniformly distributed, the probability per unit time of any given structure self-generating is nonzero (if fantastically small). Over a long enough timescale, the probability of any possible event occurring approaches one. If time is infinite, the probability is one.

What am I missing?
Barm was always barmcake when I were a lad. So in Manchester it would have been a bacon barmcake. Barm' was an occasional abbreviation from over-busy shop workers.

As someone who's travelled around some with work this can get confusing real quick. You just want some sort of bread with bacon, egg and black pudding on your way to work without recruiting an interpreter. That's quite apart from ending up in uncivilised parts that don't feel black pud is necessary. :)

Not to mention dev experience. JS is a horrible language that doesn’t scale beyond script kiddie nonsense.
I think that's a pretty good point. The vastness of space should be changed to the vastness of space-time which then makes it feel even less likely to find intelligent life which is a little sad.

Hi Adora, I have applied for my team. I noticed that there was a field for timezone. We are a highly distributed team (SE Asia & North Africa).

IMO it seems the boom in various finishes is a response to NAS stuff being the norm and for producers to try and do something different with limited stock.

I've had some wonderful wine finished whiskies - Leoville Barton Green Spot was amazing - and also some horrifying wine finished ones - Chateau Montelena Zinfandel Green Spot was hard to swallow.

For some new producers like Kavalan or Amrut, whose almost entire lines are sherry, ex-bourbon, rum, and port finished casks, it seems like the way to make a dent in the market hype without having to have really good base whiskey.

I'm just waiting for all that noise to be replaced by interesting woods - Quercus Garryana in the PNW of American whiskies is like the IPA of whiskey. Throw in some biology whizzes and the American craft whiskey market is going to be very interesting in the next 10 years.

Do you think The Road to Punk Rock playlist makes sense? It has some punk staples (Ramones, The Clash, etc.), but also blues, rock-n-roll, and even an old school country song.
I think there's a difference in denying an 'event' took place... and being blatantly racist, some people just really honestly believe that (because they're retarded or their parents were, and passed on that gene).

There's levels. I'm sure denying the moon landing hurts those who were there... There are people who deny that Columbus killed millions, and enslaved millions more in the short time he was here. -- It's offensive, but not something you can convince them they're wrong on.

I think if nobody SEES the post, does it really exist? I as user can see it so yay, FB didn't block me. While, I as another user, friend of first user cannot see it, so never happened...

That's honestly the best policy probably, I mean it's also got to be something AI can train for, because they're not going to pay people to read and approve EVER comment or post on fb, that'd be insane.

I don't understand how saying the holocaust didn't happen is considered threatening/hate speech per se, and not just mis-information. Again, I say this as a progressive, definitely against fascism here and Trump, but I also have Aspergers so have trouble sometimes 'feeling' the way others think I should feel about a subject, and logically it doesn't really elicit the same feeling as that Vice video, w/ the woman who didn't believe it happened, but wished it had - her wanting millions of jews dead is disgusting - more so, than just not believing it happened...

I guess, I don't feel that someone else's belief in historical events is as bad as other speech. I think there needs to be a fine line, and I agree where Mark drew that.
Another native English speaker that grew up as an expat here: similarly I’d only recognise ’bread’; a ”bacon bap” was a thing unto itself, as were teacakes (as far as I am concerned). And yet I know words such as ’slovenly’, ’incardinate’, and ’adipocere’ (off the top of my head) so my vocabulary isn’t poor.

No, it's functionally equivalent to uninstalling; the only difference is that since the app was installed on a read-only filesystem, the apk can't be deleted. But it's gone as far as the OS cares; it can't be seen or used or run (even in the background) unless the user manually re-activates it.

Android added this capability specifically so that users can remove anything that's pre-loaded, regardless of what any company wants. There's no iOS equivalent because Apple doesn't want to to remove their stuff.
Of course not, are you nuts?

I used to have very serious sleep issues. They are vastly better. A few thoughts:

In order to readily get to sleep, you need to be both physically and mentally tired. This is part of why reading in bed or doing crossword puzzles is so popular -- it helps make you mentally tired.

If you have any kind of health issues, working on that will improve sleep issues.

A food and health journal can be an enormously useful tool for teasing out details peculiar to you.

Exercise moves lymph. If you have been sedentary a long time, it would be wise to ramp up gradually. There can be a lot of fallout if you suddenly start working out hard.

If you allergies or respiratory problems, switching to hypoallergenic bedding products, like buckwheat pillows, all cotton sheets, etc can make a big difference for some people. It can also help to generally keep you sleep area very clean, dust free etc.

Co Q 10 in the morning about 12 to 14 hours before you want to sleep at night can help your circadian clock. It wakes you up and encourages the body to produce melatonin about 12vto 14 later. Most sources say 12 hours, but my firsthand experience suggests 12 to 14 hours.

You should choose the timezone you'll be in the majority of the time. If traveling way outside it, you may have group office hours sessions at a wacky time. It won't impact the lectures since you can just watch on your own schedule, or most engagement with peers since it'll be a forum-like experience.
