On a hunch, probably not. I would assume equivalents of any of these products can be bought on an English language site (Amazon etc.) and in my experience the US & Canadian market will go for the most friction-less purchasing experience. Trying to figure out a German language site (plus trying to figure out currency conversion) makes me think why bother when I could purchase something similar in 30 seconds. Perhaps if these were unique products that couldn't be bought anywhere else I would consider it.
That’s fair! On our products page we talk about the ink we use as well as the paper options, but ultimately, the point is that our prints are “high quality”—which hopefully speaks for itself! You bring up good points though (:

Yes, I meant the Advent of Code.
> The usual way to disambiguate in these cases is to check whether b is plausibly a type and treat it as a generic

Most compilers don't even go that far: using type information parsing is a huge no no for almost all languages that aren't C++. So for example, Typescript will flag:

a<b>(c)

as an error if a, b, and c are untyped, meaning it automatically resolved the generic application in the parser before type information was processed, while this is fine:

a<b>=(c)

Since the equal sign means > is part of a >= token. The parser is automatically determining if generic application was meant or not, before any type info is considered.
The simple solution is presented here:

Select a corporate tax rate and require nonvoting shares given to a government fund equivalent to the tax rate percentage of the company. If you buy back shares, you buy back the same percent in government shares. If you give a dividend, it goes to the government fund in the same proportion. If you issue new shares to your executives, the government participates at its rate. For companies like Abbott which return a lot of profits, the people benefit the same way. For companies like amazon, the people continue to own shares in a company that investors think will eventually return those profits.

A large part of trying to hide profits will go away because the shareholders will be incentivized to have proper accounting and the public will benefit.

I honestly hadn't thought to look for it at any of our nearby Asian grocery stores. We used to frequent our local H Mart, Zion Market, and 99 Ranch, but have been sticking to our more immediate grocery store for the past 4 weeks, or so. I'm due to restock kimchi soon anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
Yup, CA Senators are basically life time gigs. Feinstein is just following the same ruts in the road Boxer left.

The Senators know that with The Bay and LA there is zero percent chance a Republican can take it and as long as they keep their donors happy, they figure they're impossible to primary and the reality is right now they're probably right.

It's kind of why I support the run at Pelosi's seat. I don't exactly love Buttar, but having one of the OGs lose, or at least barely hold her seat, would probably do wonders to refocus various incumbents on what their constituents want.
While I primarily use Elm for all my front end side projects, I do think it's worthwhile to try both.

I'm currently writing a blog about trying as many front end frameworks/languages as I can. I'm going with this approach because I want to see what I can learn from each of them. For example, I've learned from Elm that compilers can be much friendlier. I've learned from Svelte that people are more willing to accept what appears to be familiar.

You may learn something completely different.

Because nothing about taxes has anything to do with morality. In the USA Texas, Nevada, Wyoming and a handful of other states do not levy a state tax on corporations. Are corps in these states less "moral" than companies in California or New Jersey? In 2017 Hungary lowered its corporate tax rate from 19% to 9%. Did Hungarian companies become 52% less moral overnight?

I have a Sous Vide rig. I put my dough in a one gallon plastic bucket and that floats inside a small beer cooler with some water in it that the circulator keeps at whatever temperature I want. A dish towel over top ensures the temperature is basically constant top to bottom. Proofing dough to within 0.1C accuracy is ridiculously overkill, but that accuracy comes for free. Works amazingly amazing.

hmmm... I live in western Europe. Today I've cooked something for 6 servings (I know it's 6 because family eat 4 and it remains 2). I had something like 6€ meat, 2.5€ vegetables and say, 0.5€ for the rest. Total 9@ for 6, so I'm somewhere like 1.5€/serving. Doing so I also the had the opportunity to control the level of fat and, more significant, the level of salt (takeaways are super salty).

For a comparison, down here, we make 3 servings of a pizza which is around 10€. A McDonald is 8€ for 1 serving. A Chinese meal is around 9€ for 2 servings. French fries + meat balls are 10€ for 4 servings. SO the cheapest is more than the double of the price I pay to make my own stuff.

Today, I've spent 1.5 hours cooking (but that a more involved recipe, I do the usual stuff twice faster), and I'll spend an additional .5 hour on the dishes. Ordering takeaway, and going to take them at the shop is about 30 min. So that's much faster for the takeaways.

But as I said : I control what I eat (more vegetables, less salt, less fat, less sugar), I enjoy a lot of variety too (I can cook a hundred dishes, with various level of complexity). Also, I enjoy it, but as said before, that's quite personal.

Oh, btw, today's recipe :

- grounded pork/veal 600grams

- mince a big carrot and the equivalent volume of onions. Slowly cook them with olive oil (let the pan covered, it will cook with its water)

- heat a good glass of white wine to remove alcohol (say, boiling during 3 minutes). Put the white wine on the cooked carrot/onions.

- cook some green cabbage leaves, say 15 big ones in boiling water for around 7 minutes. Cold them in cool water, dry them.

- put the leaves on a big plate, then put the meat iin one layer on top of it.

- roll the whole thing, put it with the carrot/onions/whine

- add garlic

- cover and cook slowly for 30 to 40 minutes.

- instead of waiting, take 20 grams of wheat, 20 grams of butter and mix them together (no heating !).

- once the meat is cooked, remove the big roll, and put the cooking juice away, in another pan, bring it to a boil. Lower the heat. Put your wheat/butter (say 20 grams at once). Whisk that, the sauce becomes more creamy.

- and now, serve slices of the roll, the carrots/onions, add the sauce and some regular rice. Et voilà
If you're more interested in a practical approach to designing and building antennas for radios, find a recent copy of the ARRL Handbook, the source of information about ham radio. In it, you'll find some theory, a little math, but mostly, how to build and deploy a wide variety of antennae to cover frequency ranges from 2 MHz to 10 GHz. They also offer a stand-alone book on nothing but antennas with more details and examples.
I worked for Rogue Wave Software years ago, and we used to play this on the corporate LAN at lunch time. IT guys were in on it too, and would quietly upgrade all the players to be on the "good LAN" for better connectivity.

Once the head of Tech Support from Boulder showed up during lunch hour and saw me playing, and says "You guys play too?!" - so then we each shifted lunch hour by half an hour and had cross site fun.

I will say that it was by far the best and most effective social engagement thing that existed cross organization on each site, and between sites. Well that and the free bagels and espresso machine.

I’m not too glad. From the description, it sounds like it’s a massive expense to produce the drug, and if public attitudes force companies to give the results away for free, then there is no expectation of profits for pharma companies to invest for future preparedness for pandemics. I’d like them to charge a lot and make a killing. Governments can subsidize if they want.
The online minimalism movement seems like a fool's game touted by the affluent who have quick and ready access to any needed resources.

I think that some people, like Colin Wright, have the right idea with their brand of minimalism, but too many others have co-opted it and put their own rules on it.

I like the idea, but I own a house, and a yard, and appliances. And I maintain all of them. So, in the garage, I keep good-sized stashes of scrap lumber, random pieces of plastic and metal, screws, bolts, washers, grommets, and tools. I have fixed or MacGuyvered countless things with these random parts.

And at some point, I jumped off that minimalism train and jumped onto my own train: practicalism (lowercase p, because I have to maintain some pretension).

practicalism (tm): Own only what is practical -- and maybe just a little more.

Spolsky's "smart and gets things done" still sounds like wise advice to me.
The "why are people surprised" line is a huge red flag for me that a person is not arguing in good faith. Accusing people of being "surprised" as an implication of naivete seems to be a very common tool of redirection when people are defending something perceived by others to be immoral or otherwise harmful. I'm not sure why such a particular angle became so common, since it seems so obvious to me that what they are calling "surprise" is indignation/anger. It seems to be exaggerated from the general notion that the stronger a reaction is, the newer it is, but obviously that's faulty. I may hear the same story of wealthy and powerful people behaving badly every day, but it doesn't make the behavior any more acceptable with each occurrence, and so my anger does not subside, no matter how un-surprised I am.
Sorry for the ignorant question but you mentioned steroids and immune suppression. Does that imply that steroids suppress the immune system in some way?

I’ve tried googling but came up empty besides a paper on “ glucocorticoids” which seems to be something to do with cortisol shots for reduced inflammation, which has immune suppression tendencies.

Is that what you mean? And if yes, is this for all levels of steroids or just some particular types? (IE steroids in an asthma inhaler vs cortisol shot vs anabolic steroids).

As someone who's been baking for a while (both sourdoughs and breads made with commercial yeast), there's a lot of learning to be done through trial and error, and it's difficult to communicate the nuances of how the dough feels or looks via instruction.

Temperature and humidity can change day-to-day (and certainly week-to-week) in a residence. Same with the temperature of "cold" water coming out of your tap. A thermometer and a kitchen scale go a long way towards consistently implementing recipes (and therefore getting consistent results).

Some general tips:

- If the dough is too sticky, add flour! Check the stickiness before bulk fermentation.

- Check the dough during the rise. If it has risen a lot and "domed" early, punch it down or give it a fold. If it's time for a fold but it hasn't risen much yet, let it rise longer!

- If you find your rise times are shorter than the recipe, use cooler water. If your rise times are too long, use warmer water.

- If you don't have a baking stone, baking steel, or dutch oven, you can use an inverted cast iron pan as a baking steel.

- Preheat your oven for an hour or more. Residential ovens often have substantial internal temperature variations. I use dutch ovens to bake bread, but also keep a baking stone on the lowest oven rack as a way to regulate the oven's temperature.

> "At either extreme—no rights or complete anarchy—society breaks down."

at neither of those extremes does society necessarily break down. in both cases, it simply aligns along the new gradients of power. an actual extreme for breaking down society is apocolyse/genocide.

with "no rights", we're slaves, and social structures are completely subservient to the whims of the overclass rather than broken down.

with "complete anarchy", society reconfigures around "might makes right" (more tribal social ties), as in the romanticized old west rather than mad max. extreme resource constraints, not simply lawlessness, typically define (imagined) dystopias; many are excessively lawful.

It's a bit more in-depth than the "hello world" tutorials out there, and mixing in a few dev tools and workflow hints is a nice touch. I'm still learning Clojure (dipped in and out over the last few years), and found a few gems that weren't covered elsewhere.

Visually- and organizationally well-done, too!
The slang for JAR ("Jean-Michel") was a hilarious touch to include...

On related notes:

- (ref. some of the comments and your "next steps" list) Another resource for newcomers is Clojure Koans (https://github.com/functional-koans/clojure-koans). It's very easy to use these to learn and refresh, even a few minutes at a time. During the recent stay-at-home period, I've actually had my kids (12 and 15) do these exercises, and even used it as an opportunity to start teaching them about git, so they can share their work with me in segments.

- (for anyone hankering to write something) I think one thing that is still not well-served for relative newcomers is doing webapps. The examples I found talking about Ring and Compojure were either dated in terms of dependencies or were a bit obscure in that there were both new concepts and syntax introduced at the same time, without a lot of explanation ("it's all in the docs" is not as helpful when you're new to the language, the idioms, and the frameworks all at once).
You mean down-voting and incivility? It depends on the topic.
That's why I said "plausibly". From the TypeScript spec, it looks like it takes the Boolean grammar approach (treat it like a type expression if it's a valid type expression, otherwise don't):

The grammar ambiguity is resolved as follows: In a context where one possible interpretation of a sequence of tokens is an Arguments production, if the initial sequence of tokens forms a syntactically correct TypeArguments production and is followed by a '(' token, then the sequence of tokens is processed an Arguments production, and any other possible interpretation is discarded. Otherwise, the sequence of tokens is not considered an Arguments production.
