A good rule of thumb is "only replace some of the standard all purpose / bread flour". Swapping a cup or two out for oat or whole wheat or rye or whatever is usually fine; replacing it all tends to be trickier.

> Instead, you resort to a sort of ad hominem.

> You appealed to authority, it's pretty legitimate to point out that it isn't actually an authority on the subject.

> If the information provided is so poor, you should easily be able to disprove the claims.

> As previously pointed out, only 10% of gold is used in industry.

I'm guessing you are referring to an appeal to false authority, because the acquisition of all knowledge presumably originates from an authority. If you are claiming that geology.com has presented false information, then you need to demonstrate this. Stating that it makes money from ads is not a claim against the provided information. You have inserted an arbitrarily derived claim.

Your statement of percent of gold makes no sense. From the World Gold Council[1]:

> Total above ground stocks (end-2017)

> Total above ground stocks: 190,040 tonnes

> Jewellery: 90,718 tonnes, 47.7%
> Private investment: 40,035 tonnes, 21.1%
> Official sector: 32,575 tonnes, 17.1%
> Other: 26,711 tonnes, 14.1%
> Below ground reserves: 54,000 tonnes

Further, if we take the total amount of above ground stocks and multiply it by the current gold price of around $1500, we find that the current markets value the total gold at over $10 trillion. If 90% of gold mined isn't in use, why is it valued at $9 trillion? And if the remaining 10% of gold has such little usefulness, why choose such an expensive mineral?

And all of this supports my original point that gold has uses.

It’s probably not even about the cash itself but being in close contact with the cashier as you hand it over. They are doing that the whole day and we’ve been told many times to stand at least a meter away from each other.

Also card/contactless payments are quicker than cash, and cutting seconds off transactions adds up and reduces the amount of time people have to queue and stay in the store.
I noticed yesterday for the first time that there is starting to be some discussion about the damage caused by the lockdowns.

> Its the long-accepted term - its what the universities put on your Bachelor of SCIENCE certificate

We're not talking about the word science, we're talking about the word scientist.

It is indeed a long-accepted term. Scientist means someone who does science. It does not mean someone with a basic grounding in the field, which is what a BSc indicates. With few exceptions, scientists hold PhDs. That is, after all, the point of a PhD.

If you get a BSc in computer science and then make a billion dollars selling fidget-spinners, your Wikipedia article will describe you as an 'entrepreneur'. There's no way it would describe you as a 'scientist'.

> Research chemists don't suddenly start using the term 'chemistry scientist'. They are all just chemists.

Chemists are scientists by definition, and the same thing applies here. Holding a BSc in chemistry does not make you a chemist. Doing chemistry, and presumably publishing papers, makes you a chemist.

As with the distinction between computer science and software engineering, there is a distinction between chemistry and chemical engineering.

Isnt the ratio closer to ~6 tons of CO2 per ton of H2? You get CO2 + 4 H2, which weigh 44 and 4*2 respectively.

Also, isnt this a non-issue, because (at least in theory) the reaction is contained in your converter plant, where you can collect the CO2?
> Sad but true, performance is possible in swift but it’s not very idiomatic and usually not safe.

There's nothing sad about it. You pick the right tool for the job. Swift is not designed to be a reference tool in performance-sensitive applications, thus you pick the tools that are.

There is no need to shoe-horn the wrong tool just because it's popular of fancy. A tool is just a way for technicians to express their skills, and just because someone is skilled at developing front-ends that doesn't mean he is a competent at developing performant systems-level application. Specialization matters, not only in tools.
Who said it's impossible? Of course it's possible. But this Conservative government isn't doing that, it's paying businesses to keep their employees on the payroll. That's a very different strategy than UBI.

In the coming months, you are likely to face the ugliest labor market in living memory. A lack of degree and real world experience means you're looking at even more difficulties.

Given that you have a scholarship, you'd be unwise not to snag the credential.

Also, it does not need to be a waste of time. Don't do the bare minimums. Push yourself. Take the hardest relevant classes you can find. Dig deep into any topics that interest you.

Finally, focus very hard on getting internships. In a grim market, you will be needing both the resume entries and the job leads that those can provide.

I guess you can call it that. You can start it on all your devices (e.g. laptop, PC, phone, tablet, Docker containers, etc.) and it will assign a fixed IP to each of them. Using this fixed IP all those devices are able to communicate securely with each other, no matter where those devices are located at the moment. Tailscale discovers the fastest, direct route between each device and routes the packages accordingly.

Example: Start it on all your devices and you can always access the shared files from your PC at home on your phone or tablet, no matter where you are. If you happen to be at home, no packages will be sent over your internet connection (so you can easily use it to stream 4k movies for example), but the way to access those files is always the same (fixed IP) and always secure.

An additional advantage of Wireguard (which is used behind the scenes) is that it maintains a strict mapping of IP addresses and identities. Therefore, you can usually restrict access to services by IP (instead of using TLS certificates or complicated authentication mechanisms).
Just as well in this instance, since uLisp is a C program.
Yeah, I may or may not have made the embarrassing mistake of misinterpreting which definition of “crypto” was intended. Although “encryption” would seem more natural under your interpretation?

I’d still object to the overused “war on..” phrasing for what’s a standard disagreement on policy. But substantively it’s obviously hard to deny that at least the US government is working against encryption.

Google Fire does what it can, automatically. But there's no much room for customization, for building a CLI the way you want it. Google Fire can build a CLI from objects like dicts, lists, classes. Typer only with functions, but allows you to customize the CLI.

Fire would be great for quick hacks. Typer for CLI programs that you want to use more than a couple of times.

Also, more similar to Fire is Typer CLI https://typer.tiangolo.com/typer-cli/ , that will give you a CLI for any Python file with a function (with or without Typer), with shell completion in all the shells. And that one doesn't even need you to import another library (like Fire or Typer).

Ask HN: A way to make a search link without choosing the search engine?
I was making a link on a website to send the user to a search on a search engine. The first basic idea would be to make a link to "https://www.google.com/search?q=Paris,+France".

But how could we make a link that doesn't choose the search engine for the user, and lets the user choose which one they prefer? Is there a service that does this? or even better something that doesn't require any third-party, maybe some javascript library?

edit: The same could be applied to maps, like Wikipedia's external map chooser: a link that would let the user choose which map service they would like to use instead of sending them to one by default.

The average London resident emits unusually low amounts of CO2. A 5,369 miles flight, which is extremely long, at ~100MPG = 54 gallons of fuel. A 30 MPG car driven 15,000 miles per year is 500 gallons of fuel.

A far more common round trip London to Paris flight is ~6 gallons of fuel. So, someone doing that every weekend is still using 38% less fuel per year is using our 15,000 mile driver.

Flying only emits 2.5% of global CO2 because it’s surprisingly efficient and most people don’t travel ultra long distances frequently. LA to London takes a ~10 hour travel day each way making it unappealing to do frequently.

Meh. The spirit of a self contained unit (display output, keyboard input, etc) and boot-to-interpreter are there. The Maximite family of boards "cheat" even more with a PIC32. But they are popular, and have the same feel as the 80's 8 bit PCs.
Anecdata, one of the devices I have been more happy with (for portability/usability/etc.) has been many, many years ago, the Compaq Concerto, i.e. basically a notebook with detachable keyboard and touch (with the specific pen only) screen.

The detachable keyboard made it very comfortable to use when on a table as you could place the screen further from the keyboard.
You gotta love the the extremes that I always hear about only from either the USA or China. I know that most of Europe will never have a self made billionaire making 250k n95 masks in a matter of days, but then again we wont have so many people dieing or going completely broke from a few visits to the hospital which is going to be very common with coronavirus. I considered taking a FAANG job in SV which I guess helps avoid most of the issues everyone has with the USA but I cannot imagine being middle class with all the issues we keep hearing about like hospital bills, guns and shootings, homelessness, prisons, civil forfeiture etc.
I can't understand why one would use P in such a way that P = TP + FN, this is going to be a real mess.

Afortunately there is the following page in which they only use TP,FP, TN, FN that is true/false and positive/negative. So replace that page with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall or change notation. Please.

P = TP + FN is something that I would never put on paper.

Actually eye-balling works great, if you know what you are doing. Using recipes when flour brands and types, humidity, ovens, yeast, and ambient temperature are all over the place means that you pretty much have to adapt recipes to your context. It's not optional. Most recipes try to be idiot proof by managing risk for novice users. E.g. a 65% hydration dough is going to be easier to handle; packs of yeast come in pre-measured packs, etc. A real baker would use higher hydrations, not be using dried yeast, and generally work in large batches. Batch size matters because it's easier to nail the ratios and does not require gram level precision.

Especially proofing times in recipes are in my view complete horse shit because it depends on so many variables beyond your control that any time unit would probably have a very high margin of error. Making bread in the summer and in the winter with the same recipes is guaranteed to have very different outcomes unless you adapt. Over proofing is a thing. So, is under proofing. If you have a sourdough starter, it can be in a barely alive state or in a hyper active state. It's going to affect what it does to dough and how fast it does it. Slow is actually good because time == flavor. Put your dough in the fridge to build more flavor.

The reason scales and exact ratios are nice is that they provide repeatability of the same context; or at least some level of control over it. So if, you've baked a few breads the same way, you can start tweaking a few things. Add a bit more water. Proof a bit shorter/longer, etc. People talk a lot about hydration levels of their doughs. But if you are adding a 150 grams of some sourdough starter with unknown hydration, you are going to mess up the hydration percentage of your perfectly measured ingredients.

When you've done this a couple of times, you develop a sense of what the dough is supposed to feel like and ways to correct if it doesn't feel right. I did not actually use scales until half a year ago. I use them a lot now because it helps me nail things like hydration percentages and salt levels with less guesswork but I use measurements as a starting point and adapt by eyeballing.

I was getting fine results just eyeballing it. Shake in half a pack of flour, that would be about half a kilo. Pinch of salt (most recipes suggest 1.8% by weight), add some starter and about two thirds of a pint of water (I used an actual pint glass) and add water/flour until it feels right. Don't over think it. 60% hydration breads are going to be a bit dense but fine if you knead them well. 85% hydration levels are going to be a sticky mess and a PITA to handle. You need skills to handle that and an understanding of what you are doing. But if you do, the results can be spectacular. I rarely go over 70-75%.
There are not enough tests and it will take months and months to make them.

Also HIPPA laws prevent what you propose.
It seems like everyone in this town (Brighton, UK) realised that they were about to run out of dried yeast yesterday, and there's none to buy. This morning I took to twitter with photos of the beginnings of a sourdough starter and there are a lot of photos of folk doing the same.

Mine won't work though. It's Half and half strong white flour and whole buckwheat flour. The idea is that the latter will donate yeast. Or maybe it will...

42 billions total now, the 32 billions just announced is on top of the 10 billions already put aside last week.

And yes with these measures essentially any income is now assured: Salaries, salaries of SMB owners (normally excluded from unemployement benefits for obvious reasons), hourly workers, limited contracts, internships/apprenticeships, self-employed (i.e. without being employed by an LLC or something else like that) business like artists. Also daily stop-gap money if you have to stay home for more than a few days to figure out how to take care of your homeschooled kids.

Plus like 20 billions in credit guarantees for small businesses to avoid a cash flow squeeze.

All measures use existing infrastructure for paymenet (commandeering the banks for the cash flow squeeze credits) to guarantee the money has arrived by end of the month, latest. And that it will continue to flow, like regular pay check.
