Even vegan restaurants hardly sell good food.

In their attempt to make a shoddy substitute for meat dishes, they completely butcher the innate capabilities of the vegetables.

I know that sounds a bit snooty, but western cuisines simply do not lend themselves well to vegetarian ingredients.

India is obviously the most familiar with good veg food, but most cuisines in Asia have good vegetarian offerings. Everything from China, Thailand, Iran, Lebanon and even Eastern Africa have some if not many great veg offerings.

Any cuisine that is based around spices (not necessarily the hot ones, but spice in general) is much better suited to vegetarian ingredients.

What we need is for people to become slightly adventurous in the way they eat, and stop living in their food bubbles.
Dear Young Eccentric (2012)
there are very many comments like yours for years now. Actually the killer app is Bitcoin because billions are being transacted every day in value but still arguing about blockchain it seems that literally all of the tech leaders of our time agree the technology is sound, promising and the future. Literally everyone (I can list names here too).

Germany unveils zero-emissions train that only emits steam (2016)
Beware: TheGrayZone is an 'alternative news' Web site. The type who claims that Uighurs internment camps are anti-Chinese propaganda, Maduro criticism and opposition are US-funded anti-Venezuelian propaganda, etc. Just skim their site and you'll get the idea pretty quickly.
Recall we had a whole interactive/social world in the 80s with BBSs with 300 baud acoustically coupled modems.
As computers branched out from the math discipline very quickly there was also a need for formal education that only focused on computers. Without a shared advanced level of understanding it made collaboration all the more difficult, and people’s investments in the space all the more impossible.

It is a time tested strategy. It doesn't matter if it doesn't pan out, it is just as good if they all synthesize the idea that this is not economical for anyone and conclude not to pursue this technology anymore. The body of work will still be a worthwhile experiment. But now imagine if they did increase the utility of this technology.
Arresting and imprisoning people within their own borders without formal charges is also a Saudi Arabian practice. And it's a far cry from murdering someone in one of their embassies in a foreign country.

Now, maybe Iran actually does do that? The difference is that they have to at least do a competent job covering it up because unlike KSA they don't act with complete immunity to any consequences or repercussions for their actions.
> It's not an accident that the talk/article is about Clojure

On the other hand, I'm surprised that the optimizations in question don't happen automatically for Clojure programs. Surely the underlying JVM is capable of constant propagation and folding? Maybe it's the let-from-let optimization that actually gets the 10% speedup.
As the old saying goes, cult + time = religion.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t necessarily that big of an issue for China. A lot of their HSR is grade-separated and not infrequently up on viaducts. It’s not a particularly big step in my mind to enclosing that.
I've never been on one, but I imagine if I was my performance would drop to the absolute minimum. I love my job, but I come first. Hell, I'd even be applying elsewhere and taking interview calls from inside my cubicle.

I was fortunate enough to be part of a couple startups when I was younger that went belly up. I've lived through the fear. I don't have any now. Happiness and work/life balance above all else, even pay; not some manager's unrealistic deadlines.

This is the same in any statically typed language. Actually the quality of Haskell/GHC's error messages are limited by constraint-based type inference and languages that have flow-based type inference do a better job IMO.

I can't speak for Larry's motives, but consider the counterpoint: It's very easy to list countries where sanctions did not change anything, and possibly worsened the situation.

Successful sanctions are the exception. They're a lot like punishment. People do it not because they'll get positive outcomes, but because it feels good morally.

Yes, I know where to find descriptions of language features. That doesn't prove to me that they're often misused or that I might commonly have a problem with code that others have written because of it.

You've recounted your experience and detailed that you have seen issues with things in Hackage, and I won't claim your experience is invalid. I just won't let you claim your experience is that much more valid than someone else's without proof.
22 hours after submission and no comments. Maybe it's HN looking the other way or maybe it's just not an interesting tech story. Either way, thanks for sharing.

Rich men with no morals in powerful positions will probably always get away with murder. But, as the article suggests, maybe media and free speech keeps some useful pressure on them. Keep talking.
Are you sure that you’re not an average person? I think most people understand that Saudi Arabia doesn’t operate to the standards of Western republics.
It’s not a cult. The Chinese government launched a massive campaign against Falun Gong in 1999. They said they would eradicate it in months. They don’t like anything that takes away from “the party”
Yeh they quoted the wrong number.
I think that is inevitable, but the Ruby Rails community is working hard to delay that happening. i.e You should be able to grow longer without thinking of moving languages and backend.

> Can you imagine the impact of being able to train from San Diego to LA in 30mins?

Yeah I can: approximately nothing. What exactly would you do with such a train? Neither LA nor San Diego have meaningful downtowns or local transit, so you'd still need a 45 minute drive on each end to get from/to where ever you're actually going. It's a 2.5 hour drive door-to-door today, so now you've just got a three-seat journey where there was once a one-seat trip, to maybe shave 30 minutes off journey time.

Moreover, there's no technology that could build such a train. LA to to San Diego is 200 kilometers. It would almost certainly need to make stops like Anaheim, Irvine, Oceanside, etc.. Oh, by the way, there's a mountain range between the two. Even state-of-the-art HSR would struggle to maintain 200 km/hour over the entire route. So now your train ride is an hour, and you've actually saved no time.
I spent a while looking through the registered birth names data for about 5 years while we were naming our kids. Each year was in Excel sheets, which changed format repeatedly. It was really annoying.

Moving over to providing everything as well formatted CSVs is going to be so much nicer.
This was a big story in the Western media because the victim was one of their own (media person, Western educated, wrote for WaPo).
The good news is that there are fantastically good shops to work for (you should start looking for one), and that you'll have some good stories to tell about the hellmouth that was your first company.

But yeah, get the heck out of there.

This is different imo, an American resident was murdered in a third country. I can assure you if this happened nobody would be talking about how important it is to keep selling arms to Iran, the way we did with Saudi Arabia.

According to your statement, then is Trump a bad person that can accomplish good things?
Thank you for the answer.

Philosophically I understand you dont want to contribute to the death of an animal, that said, birth causes death.

I am of the opinion folks should eat what they want and only worry about what they eat. Letting others eat what they want.

Personally I don't do well on veggies. I lose energy and feel lethargic not to mention carbs make me fat.
Infrastructure is easy (and cheap) when you don't have to respect property rights or do environmental impact studies.

Skipping phase 0 design also eliminates any potential political and nimby dissent (where all options are ruled out as "unfeasible").
I've heard Americans use biweekly to mean every two weeks. I've also seen them use it to mean twice a week, but more rarely than the other meaning.

In the UK and other English speaking areas (Australia and New Zealand to name two) bi-weekely always means twice a week, following the same pattern as biannually and other examples. We use fortnightly to mean every two weeks, but the word fortnight is not commonly used in the US.

Bimonthly is also ambiguous unfortunately. Again in the UK it would be taken as meaning twice per month (almost, but not quite, the same as fortnightly) but some others use it to mean every two months.

Biannually seems to be consistently used and understood to mean twice per year, with biennial meaning every two years though that isn't a commonly used word in my experience (people tend to just say "every two years").

Uh, no. I'll stick with meat in order to ensure that my brain and other organs keeps working as they should. I'm not worried about colesterol and fat; I'd prefer more of it actually. Thanks.
It would be interesting to see the loops in this graph.

> When I see multiple vegetarian meal options, that's a signal that [...]

I use whether it's called something like 'vegetarian <blah>' (as a signal for the reverse).

I don't want a 'vegetarian lasagne', or 'vegetarian burger'.

A slightly different but similarly ridiculous one is 'vegetarian chili con carne', which means 'vegetarian chili with meat'.
I'm cracking 50, and I can't even imagine "retiring". In addition to my dayjob (which is plenty rewarding) I also volunteer for FEMA, Skywarn, ARES, and ARRL. Also looking to get my EMT cert. If I sat around on some beach somewhere drinking Pina Coladas I would probably lose my freekin' mind out of boredom.
This is how processes naturally strengthen themselves. A system (democracy) becomes unstable, sick, dis-eased - which highlights the gaps and weaknesses, which is in part is a lack of attention - lack of individual health, strength, leading to lacking community. Trump for example was a wakeup call for the potential energy that has been building. Hong Kong is now a wakeup call for us - and we globally need to take an economic stand against the tyrants in China's leadership as an act to punish bad behaviour + as an act to strengthen ourselves with the stresses it can put on us.

Edit: Especially curious if downvotes in heavily political, democracy vs. tyrant topics are legitimate or suppression; another reason downvote mechanism is terrible: if you have something legitimate to counter, then spend any effort writing something qualitative.
Huh, I am Indian and have never heard it said like this. Do you have any sources to back this up, apart from the rockets and textile industries?
No, you really don't. What you do, is you write your back end based on the assumption that you have no JS at all, using a server-side MVC framework like Rails or Django or ASP.NET MVC. Make sure that your controllers and views are well-factored and that you're using partial views where appropriate. It's then almost trivial to apply intercooler to the front-end. In a lot of cases, you don't have to change anything at all in your controllers: just tell intercooler to select out the element you care about from the response (this is most appropriate when a lot of stuff on a page is changing at once, e.g. when you are PJAXing-away a full page refresh). In most others, you usually only have to tell a controller to check whether the request is being made by intercooler, and return a partial view rather than the full view.

The point is that you already have the infrastructure that is generating formatted HTML responses (partial views), and you are now re-using it. If you were trying to write a client-side application from scratch while avoiding the easy path of writing a server-side MVC app, then yeah, I can see how it would be more complex than advertised.

Source: I've built a couple of web apps using intercooler.

Look beyond the superficial, at larger issues.

Anyone can shoot any idea down by reducing it to a simple, innocuous sounding concept to make the other look ridiculous.

Claiming "there's nothing here" is wrong, saying "I recognize the potential for bad, but choose to accept that risk" is a different story.
Organizing and executing code via a storage scheme other than a file system?

Security issues aside, I can imagine maintaining compiled code for stored procedures in database BLOBs.

Similarly, in an appropriate trust environment, I might want to ship work units to remote machines in the form of raw ELF. Copying the bits to disk just to execute them is unneeded overhead.
Like a motorcycle, depends on how fast it goes (how much power it has). 49cc scooter no, 650cc scooter yes.
The thing I find silly is if you dont like eating animals or causing their death why eat fake animal meat ?

It's like abstaining from sex by using a sex doll in my mind.
This doesn’t particularly matter to China. The cost of current HSR tickets isn’t even a free market. It’s all price-regulated so that every ticket for the same journey at the same class costs the same (Not pricing tiers like airlines). They’ll probably just eat the cost at the state-subsidised level in my mind.
>This is a drop in the bucket of Saudi misdeeds.

You would have to clarify further on this.

In general, even if you ignore that Jamal was a well known person, being killed in your own embassy is newsworthy anywhere. For a long time embassies were considered a place of refuge.
A couple questions to ask yourself before your leave:

1. Why did you join this company? Was it a personal connection or admiration for the CTO? Or do you actually like the company/product/service you're working on?

2. Are you mostly unhappy with the working relationship with this one person, or with the full company? If it's with this one person, that's fixable with some effort and conversations with other leaders to restructure the operation.

3. What have you learned from this to take forward? If you decide to leave, what learnings are you taking from this experience to better qualify and understand the future roles and organizations?
> worry about getting suckered in to things like the EU army

There is a veto right in the EU on everything defense related, nobody is getting suckered into anything.* I know that, you know that, why do you perpetuate the lie?

*Except for the UK military into the Iraq war because their so-called "representatives" didn't and don't represent them. But that's another story.

> I don't want to be my own bank.

Try living in Cuba, Venezuela, African countries, China etc etc. Actually except from the so called developed countries, people really don't want banks because it's unlike anything you are used to. So the reasoning that in USA we don't need asset sovereignity because the banks are not controlled by some crazy dictator maniacs holds only in USA, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia more or less.
The article says he found all these kids through Ancestry.com. Surely there must be many, many more whose DNA isn't in that database, no?
> Why do you want to eat vegetables that are fake meat or made to taste like meat ?

Why do people on diets eat low calorie desserts?

The same way people go on diets because they want to lose weight but not to avoid the taste of food they like, people go vegan because of environmental and animal cruelty reasons but not to avoid the taste of food they like.
Ask HN: Workflow for personal wiki/logbook/journal/static-site at work
I work as a mechanical engineer doing simulations for my PhD. One of the troubles I face at work is information overload. There is a lot to learn, and also a lot of work that I myself have to do. Due to having an appalling memory, I forget things like why I modelled something a certain way, or how I arrived at a particular value for a parameter. I feel like I miss out on having a global picture about my project due to inadequate tracking of the tasks I do.

I would like to start recording these things. I used to do it in OneNote, and it worked pretty well, but I would like to have a system that I could somehow take to the next level. Specifically, using some kind of markdown-based personal wiki that I could use to jot down design decisions, outcomes of chats with colleagues, new things I learn from research papers, minutes of meetings etc. In my vague dreams, such a system could also be expanded into easily forming drafts for a static-site blog.

I would love to hear from you if you have a system like this in place. Fundamental requirements for me are that I would like it to be text-based, but still supporting images easily, since a lot of things I do involve screenshots or schematic diagrams etc. Syntax highlighting and mathematical equations would also be necessary. I would strongly prefer owning my data, but I'd rather be productive than stand on any moral high ground. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I'm comfortable in Windows, and only vaguely familiar with Linux (I use Manjaro at home), but I would love something that involves a minimal amount of coding knowledge.
The Political Operatives Who Fake Outrage with Millions of Made-Up Comments
Some race conditions are intentional at the expense of knowing that the data would not be perfect. For example, if you have a structure of different metrics and one thread updates them while another thread reads them, clearly the best way to handle that is to lock while writing and reading so you always get the intended results. However, if you don't necessarily care about all of your metrics being snapshotted at the exact same point in time, you can just have the other thread share the variables knowing that this race condition will actually improve performance a little bit. Obviously you need to take care of things like words sizes that take multiple loads and stores.
Appeals court upholds net neutrality repeal but rules FCC can't block state laws
No, and I wouldn't hold my breath for that to happen. The trouble with multi-master is that there are way too many possibilities what it might mean - different purposes require different trade-offs, and PostgreSQL is unlikely to commit to one of those options (at the expense of others). So I'd expect the current situation to continue, i.e. different multi-master projects (open-source and proprietary) built on top of PostgreSQL, catering to different use cases.

For HA, the best option at the moment is probably a physical standby with an external monitoring/management tool (repmgr, patroni, pacemaker, ...) handling the failovers. So not really a multi-master. There are ways to do something similar with logical replication (that's what BDR does), but I don't think there's a widely available tool to manage that.
I wouldn’t give those Christian sects a pass on not being cults. Falun gong has some weird beliefs, some of them very self destructive. Of course, the Chinese government doesn’t do itself any favors in their typical heavy handed approaches to information supremacy, making them an unreliable source, but that doesn’t mean they are wrong.
So show the laymen cute text without Scary Symbols, no? Heck, these days my tests with certain frameworks are automatically inundated with unsolicited fire emojis and green check marks. I'd imagine that isn't particularly difficult with C++, right?
No tofu?
It's more that the project was immature. If I have a bucket of data and an unknown part of the data is either incorrect or unknown then I can't give a full quote on completion all data in the bucket. Especially if the data accuracy/discovery is contingent on other team members also uncertain of the quality of the data. This will and did lead to burnout.

The bigger issue is that I've been treated by a robot. Just talk to me and quit trying to social engineer a solution out of me or try to make me discover the results you're expecting.

Final note, my supervisor said he really enjoyed working with me the past year, but they're trying to improve the "shitty parts" of the company. Doesn't that make me some of the "shit"?
What else should we do? Did economic isolation help with the case of North Korea? To the extent I see, the rise of tourism has helped / is helping Cuba to become more and more integrated, as it's increasingly hard for the government to keep modern technology etc. from the hands of locals.
