i'll always think of my father, who had simple country tastes from his southern country upbringing. we'd go there all the time when i was little, and my lifelong love of hashbrowns (over homefries and such) was surely born there. it was also the last place i saw him before he passed away.

IDK, I actually enjoy consuming agricultural products...
Every office with a kitchen and a coffee maker in the world needs to deal with reordering supplies. This doesn't seem massively overpriced nor massively over-engineered. It's basically a scale that auto-presses a dash button for you.
A real & important question, but by no means an impossible problem. E.g. suppose "the public" (e.g. gov't, as with public lands) owns all of it in the first place, sells it, and uses the proceeds to fund water projects.

A less radical option would be to keep the system of water rights we have today and simply allow the water to be bought and sold. Currently if you sell it, someone can take you to court & say "well you didn't use it, so you should lose your water rights" (because California follows the doctrine of first use). Would run the risk of creating wealthy water czars overnight, but less radical.

Not sure that I agree with the series of events leading to your conclusion, but automating pantry management is really appealing to me for convenience. It seems like something better left to automation than spending human cycles on.

I think of it as the "declarative kitchen" like how we have declarative infrastructure or declarative languages. Now if only I could declare some brownies...

No, 767/777/787 are three different type ratings requiring separate pilot endorsements. It's the submodels that share the rating.
yeah , except that in this case, he is on to something.. dismissing the emotion and the anecdotal evidence seems super-convenient
Here's why: suppose some types are easier to answer than others. Maybe A and CNAME and AAAA are cached, MX is in the database but not cached, and NSEC3 requires computing a result. In order to correctly implement ANY (pre-RFC8482), you must convert it into all of those, and wait for the slowest one. An implementation like Firefox that asks for ANY because it just wants A and AAAA is wasting both the client and the server's time.

However, also, pre-RFC8482 that's not what ANY is defined to mean. A non-authoritative caching resolver is permitted to respond with only the records it has cached if something is in cache. So you're already getting a random subset of records. So the behavior is unhelpful for clients and also unhelpful for authoritative servers, and not in a way where the unhelpfulness trades off for helpfulness elsewhere.
I don't think the sample population is the largest issue here. The issue is that they didn't control for any other factors.

It's entirely likely that the hip-hop cheese was better, but for reasons completely unrelated to the music. Without replication this is extremely likely to be random chance.
Indeed. Quick googling around did not bring me any satisfactory answer. http://www.ats-lang.org/Libraries.html shows that batteries are definitely not included, at least yet.
It is not. If they had 10 cheeses exposed to hip-hop, 10 to classical, 10 controls, etc., and the differences in rating where statistically significant they would be onto something. But per the study factsheet, they used just one box per music type so it is exactly as you say, one box just tasted better but it could be for any number of reasons: https://hkbgehtanland.ch/assets/pdf/20181129_hkb_cheese-in-s...
After Washington, D.C., enacted a law in 2017 to prevent manufacturers from labeling wet wipes as flushable, Kimberly-Clark turned around and sued D.C.’s mayor and attorney general. It contended the measure would violate the company’s right to free speech.

Good Lord. I'm hoping there's some more subtlety to that. At first blush it's hard to see the difference between claiming you're flushable and claiming your pills cure cancer.
I have to confess, that I don't understand the business case, but I applaud your confidence to go after such an extremely niche area (I wouldn't call it a problem). However, if I convince myself to see the value here, I see the real product as the solution around using your scale to work on pantry restocking in general, not just with coffee.

All the best!

Something an FSA administrator will never tell you is that while you forfeit unspent funds at the end of the year (actually March of next year), you also don’t have to pay back funds if you quit/are fired and the amount you spent was more than your contributions to that point.

And Go probably wouldn't have half the range it enjoys today without the massive reach and coffers of Google. That's not a snark, or a critique even, just a reflection of the difficulty of breaking through in this space and indeed a comment to support your assertion that in order to succeed in this space today you probably have to build on or successfully interoperate with an already established platform.

If Go didn't have the backing of Google, I doubt it'd have half the audience it enjoys today; Rob Pike notwithstanding. Case in point: Plan 9.

I feel like this kind of intensely provably-correct language (this one, Coq, Agda, etc.) isn't so much for writing whole programs in, as for writing the small, very-important-to-verify modules, that will link with other, less important modules to form a whole program.

When you're writing provably-correct "error kernels"[1] for your software, you probably want as little interaction with the OS to happen inside the kernel as possible. Write the rest of your program in a glue language, then hand off to the proven-correct error kernel for the hot loop. Probably over stdio, or transactional SHM IPC, or any other mechanism like that that has as little failure-surface as you can get away with.

Right, as I mentioned, I'm an 80's VW van enthusiast. I've transplanted subaru engines into VW vans, but I always clip the unused sensors (like traction control) from the wiring harness. I haven't touched anything newer than 2005 yet.

So, despite "everyone doing it" by your words, I was just unaware of how it worked because it's not relevant to me. My VW syncro van has both forward and rear locking differentials anyway.

Probably the closest is https://blog.rust-lang.org/2017/03/02/lang-ergonomics.html, which laid out the plans to do so. That being said, there wasn’t a single real document I can point you to: it was a label attached to a number of RFCs, and not really tracked as one thing. Some stuff that ended up landing under this banner was:

Non-lexical lifetimes

“Match ergonomics”

Implied lifetime bounds

The anonymous lifetime

The question mark operator

Async/await (this one is still in progress)

The removal of “extern crate”

... and some other things I’m sure I’ve forgotten. I also said “last year” but that blog post is from 2017, and that’s because it took a long time for RFCs to be created, accepted, implemented, and stabilized; a lot of this stuff landed in the latter half of last year, though some before then too.

Don't worry, I'm Australian and I had to look at the wikipedia page to find out what they were talking about. We normally call the area the Victorian High Country, a far more accurate description.
Here's a fact which blew my mind when looking for a healthy cereal: most ice creams have fewer calories per weight than even the low-calorie cereals. Right now comparing Weetbix (97% wheat, considered basically health food by lots of people) to a pack of RJ's licorice (37% sugar, definitely tip of the nutrition pyramid), the Weetbix is listed as containing more energy by weight. That at least intuitively seems completely broken.
"different sides"? Are you hinting that a group of billionaire-owned megacorporations balance each other out and represent the interest of the average citiezen?
FYI, the Rust code on that comparison page is not very representative of how that problem would be solved today. (I realize you took it from a 2016 post, though even back then some of that code would've been outdated.)

- It uses outdated libraries - `rustc_serialize` instead of `serde`, and `hyper`'s synchronous API (which no longer exists) instead of `reqwest`'s synchronous or `hyper`'s asynchronous API.

- It spawns eight threads, whereas the Go example (and presumably the V example too?) uses eight fibers.

- A thread-safe incrementing counter would be better done using an `AtomicUsize` rather than a `Mutex<usize>`, in which case the entire `next` function is a single call to `AtomicUsize::fetch_add`.

A modern Rust example could either continue to use the eight threads, in which case it would look quite similar in terms of the length of the code.

But more likely someone writing the code today would use fibers via futures and tokio, which would not have the Mutex or "manually chunk the work among eight workers" stuff. I think that it would be a bit shorter and clearer than the current code, but I would have to write it out to be sure.

Of the first 8 comments, it appears that 3 are critical, 1 is supportive, and 4 are neutral/factual.

[critical] It took demand of Canada's Government for @FoxNews to finally delete false tweet blaming Muslims for mosque attack

[neutral] Isn't it a little strange to constantly rail about "state TV" when it comes to RT & Fox and then hire CIA Directors & General as your "news analysts"?

[critical] You can announce on MSNBC that Putin may have ordered Trump's attack on Assad & then scoff at Fox & Fake News

[neutral] "One giant Fox News" - how Wagner Moura explains to his American friends what the dominant Brazilian media is like

[supportive] Kudos to Fox News' @KirstenPowers asking Trump about Ailes & getting amazing answers http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/08/01/ailes-trump... …

[neutral] Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage - major backer of both BREXIT & Trump - joins Fox News as a contributor

[critical] Starting now: coverage of the greatest and most orchestrated governmental threat to free speech in the US: legally imposed Israel Oaths (a story self-professed free speech crusaders at Fox News have thus far refused to cover, because doing so might offend their viewers)

[neutral] When Reagan transmitted the treaty to the Senate in 1988, he said it was necessary to prosecute all torturers, and allow no justifications for its use. Might be worth reading to Fox News guests, and ex-CIA officials defending Gina Haspel http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=35858
What is your source for this information? I have worked with meat for years and have never heard anyone react with humor to steers or bulls being referred to as cows. Go into a butcher shop and ask where their cows are raised and they will answer you without hesitation. Ask them without using the word and they will readily refer to beef as having come from a cow.

EDIT: Even googling "beef cows" provides a wealth of contradictions to your statement.

It is hard, if not impossible, to say. What I think one could say is that these things doesn't generally happen in the way people think. Since there is generally a lot of inertia that prevents people from seeing what is going on. People expects shifts, but it is usually more similar to leaving things on the table. Because this is hard to figure out, it is therefor instead more important to you make these decisions for good reasons. And that what I think is the real problem for the Bay Area (and other regions in a similar position). That you end up losing a lot of potential for no good reason.

No worries about that, they didn't even plicate it to begin with. They exposed 8 wheels of cheese to 8 different types of music.
