I originally learned to cook by going through the entire "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" (it took me 3 years). Later in life I was completely broke and had to give up either meat or beer. I chose to give up meat :-) Even later in life I figured I might as well go whole hog (hmm???) and become vegan. I learned how to cook again.

My biggest piece of advice for anyone wanting to learn how to cook really good vegetable based meals (and who doesn't want to adopt an already established ethnic vegan diet) is to forget ingredients and instead focus on techniques. Cooking is applied chemistry. You need to understand why certain foods and certain preparations give certain results. You can then replicate similar results.

It's not so much that you want to imitate the "meaty" flavour of beef bones, but rather that you want to create a similarly satisfying broth. If you try to imitate an existing food, you will always end up with a pale shadow of that food. Instead make something that has the same value, but with a different ingredient. It will be different just like chicken stock is different from beef stock which is different than lamb stock which is different than pork stock. But it will be just as good.

For stocks, it's complicated because vegetables are sweet. You want umami for stocks. As much as possible keep the sweetness out of the stock (because it will get in there no matter what you do). Fermented proteins (miso as others have said -- but make sure to get the oldest you can find), beans/lentils, rice, etc. Stay away from things like a mirepoix because it will add too much sweetness. You can add onions, but caramelise them down to being black, etc, etc. To be honest, there is too much to making a good stock to explain here. You just need to practice and adjust until you get what you are looking for. Learning an ethnic cuisine that is already traditionally vegan will help a lot if you pay attention to the techniques they are using. At the same time consider what a bone stock is doing in a stock pot. What is meat? What is connective tissue? What is skin? What is marrow? What happens when you simmer that for 5 hours?

You can make great vegan stocks and it is fun to learn how to do it, but it takes an inventive spirit.
Yep I used R- a few times, just not everywhere. :)

Thanks for googling it.

Stop.

Seriously. Stop.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the reason you're getting downvoted is because you're advocating something that is basically eugenics wearing modern clothing. The practice of eugenics is generally associated with Nazis. Yes, those Nazis. Not just the modern ones, but the Hitler 1920s-1945 ones who started a World War. They used "superior genetics" as a justification for many of their actions before, during, and after the war.

Don't be a Nazi. Accept that this is fresh research, that genetics may set someone out on a different path but that there are many other factors that affect their life and choices. In this study[0], there is no human research, and the definition of monogamy is limited to a single mating season. It's also looking at gene expression, which means that a gene that everyone has is either turned on or off. For reference, genes are expressed differently in various parts of your body, and is a fairly good test for various types of cancer.

Amateur writers often mix up journalistic with literary writing. Both has its place but when people can't make up their mind they end up producing a chimera. Their writing doesn't follow an inverted triangle principle while at the same time it fails to build an arc of tension. The lede is buried somewhere in the middle.

Pervasive SEO advice is also to blame. "Google loves long-form" is the common mantra. Just add a personal anecdote at the beginning to reach the target word count.
Germany has something like this as well (it's called BAFOEG). It's not for tution (because there isn't any) but for your cost of living during study. It carries zero interest, you only have to pay back half of it and the pay back is capped to 10k total.

Apple is a hardware company that prioritized design and built / bought (next step) software because it had to, and ignored web services because it didn’t value it (at least in earlier days)
You and I have very different definitions of risky :)

Worst case, the effort of a relatively small team has been wasted, and Gecko and Servo will have received a few improvements as a result of their work. Best case, VR makes it big and Firefox is its go-to browser.

Then consider the case where they're not in the VR space early. Best case, they've saved a relatively small team's effort. Worst case, VR makes it big and Firefox is as marginally relevant as it is now on mobile.
Did you ever use the hockey puck as mouse? Yes that's from the Steve area...

Steve made Apple great but it's an illusion to think a company will grow forever.

Steve was also lucky to have Apple in a time where a lot new stuff was developed. He didn't develop it, he applied it the right way. Things like touch screen and tablets were really new back then.

But today there is not a lot that is new. VR is from the eighties, so is AI.

So I think even today Steve would have troubles to keep Apple growing.

Is Firefox under performing because of its Rust powered engine, Servo?
Sorry this might sound like a rant but I am really disappointed in Firefox for the past couple of years. Firefox used to be my go to browser until a few years ago when the problems started appearing. On my old laptop with 2nd Gen i7 processor and 4gb RAM, I used to have more than 100 tabs open in all windows combined and Firefox could handle them without a hiccup(granted many sites were not that heavy 3-4 years ago but still compared to Chrome Firefox was miles better). Chrome always had a problem handling a lot of tabs(would show problems even at 30-40 tabs). But now I generally use a much powerful laptop(6th gen i7, 16gb ram, 980m graphics card) and Firefox's performance is just terrible. The element inspector is a joke compared to Chrome and completely unusable. While I can go from one element to another in Chrome very easily, in Firefox the jump is very slow and choppy and until a few versions ago, highlighting the nodes in the element inspector would not even work everytime. Now even when I have 10 tabs open in Firefox, it briefly shows a spinning wheel when I go back to a previous tab. Chrome's performance is much better now compared to Firefox. So, I am wondering if its because of the Rust powered Servo browser engine that derailed the performance of Firefox? I know Hacker News loves Rust dearly but lets be honest it has its share of warts and bugs. Will we ever get to see the once great Firefox in its full glory again? In hindsight, does the Firefox dev team regret using Rust instead of C++ for their browser engine?
There was an article about how golang takes a very classist attitude... There are programmers who use go, that are the peons, and the programmers who write go, who are anointed.. like hashmaps breaking the typesystem.

It feels like a lot of the things that happen like if err != nil are code smell. I wrote a cli in go and wouldn't mind it again but I program in elixir now and the emphasis on developer joy is refreshing (but it makes wise choices, e.g limiting the scope of macros to lexical)
This is facially false. No one eligible for a public sector pension is well off. 130% of nothing is still nothing.

Like honestly, think of all the people you know in unions. What are their houses and cars like? Do they live in the rich neighborhoods with the doctors, lawyers, and professional athletes? Do their kids go to expensive private schools? Just outrageously wrong.

The issue here is that most (all?) state and local governments are very resource constrained by reactionary Republican low tax regimes, so the amount of money required for pensions (or health care or education) is a big pie slice. But if these governments adopted reasonable, progressive tax regimes with confiscatory upper limits, the pie would look very different.

In other words, look at the ruthless income inequality in this country before blaming budget shortfalls on government employees, social programs, and unions.
The only % you pay, is on the money above the threshold amount. So if you earn 52k, you only pay the 8% of your student loan back on the 2k above the threshold.

So yes, it is stepped, and no, there is no incentive for staying below that threshold.

re: your second point, there is no 'incentive' to study in those fields, it is merely possible to do so. It is good, as fields that are low-earning like literature and art; are not reserved only to people in society who have parents with disposable income. It's an egalitarian policy, more in line with Australian cultural values than American.

re your third paragraph: indeed. The result of our system however is that the vast majority of students major in commerce & science; perhaps because the incentive of a lucrative career is enough to stop everyone pursuing arts.

Postgraphile [1] is very close to what you are looking for.

It is really amazing what modern databases are capable of and at the same time also surprising that most applications in the wild don't use them to the fullest of their capabilities.

I have been personally exploring on ability to efficiently map GraphQL queries to database operations while retaining the ability to write business logic in typescript (which I currently believe offers the best compromise wrt type safety and flexibility among popular mainstream languages). My preliminary work is available on github [2] and I welcome any feedback and contributions.

It seems like the AggregateIQ case shows the problem with this - by obeying the request, they admit that the EU has jurisdiction over them. That's probably the wrong thing to do when they have no connection to the EU, other than people from the EU choosing to connect to a server hosted elsewhere.

It's probably the same reason why Hacker News does nothing to comply with the GDPR.
>I believe what they try to achieve is beyond what we currently have. And if Mises was born in this age, he would've probably go to the biology level or even deeper to start his work.

This isn't really true. When Human Action was written there already was a fair bit of literature on behavioural psychology and other fields, but Mises made a conscious choice to not base his theories on them. In the first part of Human Action Mises does bring this point up but makes a clear distinction between investigations into human behaviour that are rooted in the natural and empirical sciences (i.e. biology) and his own flavour which is rooted in a Kantian-esque introspection. This concept is referred to in Mises' work as well as in the works of his successors as methodological dualism, and is a core tenet of Austrian social analysis.
I mean, a haunted house is undeniably "real life" in the "IRL" sense, but it wasn't like she used her new skills to actually save a life, or find a way out of hostile territory, or uncover lost artworks or something.

Not trying to be a downer, just saying that this is kinda stretching the definition of "real life application of game skills" for me. More like "applying a board game skill to a different kind of game"

The hobbyists may not have access to do so. Perhaps their site is on a VPS or worse, a SAAS product?

Indeed. Arts degrees have suffered large funding cuts in Australia in recent years. Perhaps for the reasons you describe.

For me, there are people want to perfectly analyze a thing and discover its model, there are people try to do something with the thing with whatever they have. We as humans are usually not able to achieve the first. The later is what we have every day, almost all day. A perfect model does not mean we know how to do anything properly. Without a perfect model, it's even less possible. But humans always want to do something while we can ... While most parties are doing things the similar way. They are able to play the same game before the game can not continue. Just another way to put what I said above:)
I don’t care about who owns it. But paying income taxes on 50k of forgiven debt would be hard for me.
I think you hit the nail on the head.
I'm really curious about your views on something, if you would share:

1) Let's say you could provide definitive data showing, without doubt, that intraracial relationships resulted in different longterm outcomes than interracial relationships, with an extremely high degree of statistical certainty. Would you say that consideration or utilization of this fact would be racist if done in a completely impartial fashion?

2) What if we instead of simply considering intra/inter relationships we instead look the outcomes differences between specific ethnic/racial matchups over the longterm. Would consideration or utilization of these data be considered racist if done in a completely impartial fashion?

3) Let's move away from algorithms and add a human element. There are a variety of, mostly ethnically homogeneous, religions that vehemently forbade marriage outside the religion and where joining the religion, as an outsider, is made extremely difficult. Are these religions inherently racist? Are their practitioners inherently racist?

And to be clear, as this is a sensitive issue, I'm not secretly trying to find some contradiction or whatever to come back at you with. I just like to try to understand worldviews outside my own and have no intention of challenging any of your answers in any way.
To me the latest iPhone (xs) doesn’t have any feature that warrants such a price bump. I got an iPhone 7+ 128gb for AUD 1429 when it launched. The XS 256gb is $1879. I got one for my wife only because I had a gift card for a few hundred bucks. It’s a great phone, but not worth the $450 price bump for me.

If Apple bumps the storage on the base model to 128gb and drops the price by a hundred bucks, I’ll pick up this years phone on launch day. But I don’t see that happening.

The view. I work fairly high up and have a great view of much of the city and bay. Doesn't sound much but when you're untangling legacy spaghetti and ready to throw a monitor across the room being able to spin your chair around and admire the surrounds is a great stress reliever. Also nice to look out when stuck in yet another useless meeting.

I'll take that over a Foosball table any day.

I think this is because OP simply copy/pasted the title. having an all uppercase title is annoyingly common especially in pdf's.

seen this on some websites too which have uppercase head styling and you have to dig out the normal format from the open-graph header (or add it to buffer which is the same). Noticed some sites that do have all upper have JS to convert the to lower when copying the text (example: https://www.emptywheel.net/)

I guess it could be solvable by adding some conversion on the HN submit form.
I've been saying for a while (check my profile) that user data should be treated in much the same way as nuclear raw materials.

Meaning small amounts properly contained (i.e. in a smoke detector) is fine and if you need to collect and especially concentrate larger amounts you should need to go through a whole lot of useful hoops to weed away less serious companies.

I used to have several blind friends who were very successful in text based MUDs. It's possible finding one with an active userbase is getting harder and harder.
I said the same, happily using my perfect sized 5S. I got an iPhone X as a gift, but it took me over a week and literally cracking my 5S screen to bother with the update.

Battery life (5S was failing though). OLED screen is amazing. Screen real estate is great. It's a bit to big for my small hands, but it rarely gets in the way (I use assistive touch quite heavily though). Camera is good but nothing I care too much about. Swipe gestures (in lieu of buttons) is great (quick switching between apps). Tap screen to wake up (maybe existed before?) is nice.

I'd say do the update. I can't see myself using anything else going forward (until I'm forced to update in a few years I guess).

>If you work in tech or marketing, your salary comes from eroding privacy.

Your own inherent weakness in morality doesn't implicitly infer that this is the inherent truth for everyone else in the tech or marketing industry. (Perhaps, moreso for tech than marketing but I digress.)

Not everyone in either industry is inherently on the "I'm just in it for the money" bandwagon.
Exactly the same thing I realized. Working out in the morning actually drained me of energy for the day and made me super sleepy instead. Running though, has the different effect and made me feel a whole lot more fresher and ready to tackle the day. So i guess it depends with each person what activity you do in the morning to get your body ready.
What's interesting, and pointed out by a Reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/acsdf3/comment...

There's no way to identify that the person making the request is who he/she says he/she is. The irony is that for services like Facebook, Facebook could ask for a scan of your id/passport to confirm it's you, (and would it also have to keep that scan saved somewhere in case it later needs to prove that it "authenticated" the gdpr request correctly?)

But in this case, how to determine it's really the user? Should "Bob" identifies himself by disclosing his password, and have the admin test of the login works?!
PostgreSQL row-level security policies seem to be sufficient for access permissions most of the time (I'm also finding them easier to manage safely than custom restrictions), while its constraints can deal with validation. Timeouts (and/or per-user time quotas) in front of a DBMS can be used if one is worried about users abusing a database.

As mentioned in another reply, there seems to be quite a reluctance to use/accept plain SQL, and SQL injections are usually treated as vulnerabilities, though I doubt that it's necessarily worse (that is, more of a potential vulnerability) than an average web back end.

Users (not as in "API users", but as in "service users") usually aren't familiar with SQL, and it's not great to write queries manually each time (even if there are views and stored procedures with predefined ones), but SQL being exposed to clients ("API users") is reality, even if uncommon. Coincidentally, I worked on a project like that just this week, and on others taking such an approach in the past.

Yet you attribute that to WikiLeaks (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18848920): "If Wikileaks had their way I don't think you'd like the NWO that Putin and China would build for us."
While that's true, there is also "antitrust". The Guardian certainly has squandered away most of the trust bonus it may have once had. (I think it was the Guardian making the claims?).

At least you haven't caught me lying before, doesn't that count for anything?

Even most o the journalism prices don't mean much anymore. Here in Germany there was just a scandal of a journalist faking many stories, who had also won lots of prices with them (Claas Relotius). In some articles about him it was also mentioned that by now there is also a kind of "inflation" of journalism prices. I think they also serve the purpose of creating a fake aura of trust.
Truly. The economy in the other side is actually a mystery to the Western society. And here we are pretending we understand, and we place bets as if we know.
