Agreed, espresso is not easy. However, I'd say for anyone who has been interested in the varieties of ways to make coffee, it is worth trying out. I spent probably $700 buying a decent pre-owned grinder and semi-automatic a few years ago and haven't looked back. After a few months work, I could easily make a better espresso drink (maybe not the perfect double-shot) than many of the local coffee shops around Boston. You'll impress your spouse and your guests too.

Anyway, I agree it's tricky and not for everyone ... just came here to tell others it might be worth a try. I'm really glad I went for it.

>disagreement == genocide

I don't think the article says that, but people have been using the word in relation to covid elsewhere.

I've recently reacted to someone else using the word with a vague feeling of discomfort, wondering why people are so eager to talk like that.

But then, like practically the next day, I had a visceral reaction to something in the news, and I felt like "this is why people are talking about genocide" because then the events were giving me the same sense of fear and dislocation that extreme rhetoric was previously.

The events that made me react that way were how the (white male) governor of Georgia was suing Atlanta whose (black female) mayor recently got covid. Trying to prevent health precautions from being enforced.

It's like, sure it's hyperbole in some sense, but I suddenly understand the reaching for something that expresses the enormity[1] of the situation, and the maddening incomprehensibility of why people are acting in this way.

And on top of that are the "little green men" in Portland, and I wonder where are all the right wing anti-government paranoiacs these days?

[1]I am not using this to mean enormousness, see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/enormity
Not sure how much of that is political rights, and how much of it is just less competitive pressure abroad because of lower population. Easier to get into colleges and find jobs. Might want to ask and confirm.
10 lessons for startup founders to get their first 10 sales
We have one of the ~$400ish red machines at home for 6 years now. It gets used maybe once a week. Every morning we grind beans, and use a French press. We have our normal coffee bean but we love to try different beans. The ritual of making the coffee in the morning is part of the joy I think. Putting the kettle on, the smell of the beans being ground, the smell from pouring the water on the grounds and stirring them. It’s a comfortable part of the morning. It’s a constant in a world that needs it now.
Fair, although moka pot coffee is indeed "espresso-like" more than espresso. They don't have the pressure to brew espresso the same way an actual espresso machine does. I think they make great coffee, particularly for Cuban-style cafe con leche, although nowadays I'd probably do that with my Aeropress because it's faster and can do a strong, espresso-like coffee pretty well. But it's still not espresso. :)

A Nespresso machine certainly isn't the pinnacle of coffee perfection -- I've just found that it makes a decent and very consistent espresso, lungo or Americano for me. There are times, particularly in the evening, when I just don't want to mess around with grinding and brewing, and I'd much rather have a Nespresso coffee drink than a Keurig one.
My understanding is delayed slit experiments have more to do with a common folk explanation of uncertainty principle being flawed (e.g. the notion of collapse) rather that the fundamental math of QM. The later gives correct prediction.

So if you take QM math, AFAIK, it can explain all known electromagnetic phenomena.
Yes, I know — I’m criticizing the article, not the module system. None of the reasons you mention are demonstrated in the example given, which would be much more straightforward if the module system just followed the filesystem automatically, as the author rightly points out beginners tend to expect it to. Asking people to have an “open mind” and then just showing them the complicated way to do a thing they expect to be simple isn’t very motivating.

That "special blend" solder is interesting; it appears from the MSDS to be a standard water-soluble flux core paired with an almost-standard SAC305 lead-free solder (there's some Sb added). I'm not sure what's so nice about that, but I'll take their word for it.

What I would NOT do, though, is choose this stuff for general purpose use, especially "tool bag" use. Water-soluble fluxes are powerful, but they must be cleaned or you'll have corrosion troubles. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'd prefer a RMA-type flux here.

| Save the espresso for a trip to your neighborhood cafe instead - they'll make it far better without the hassle.

This simply hasn't been born out by my experience making espresso at home. By spending about $7-800 on a Rancilio Silvia and a Baratza Vario, and dialing in my process a bit, I'm able to consistently pull as-good or better shots than the premium coffee places around me (LAX). Granted, you have to be detail oriented to be consistently good, but once you've figured out the variables, it's just process.

This whole experience has taught me that a multi-thousand dollar HE machine is truly only as good as the person behind the portafilter.
This article as superficial as it gets.

Siberian separatists are as real as Texas ones. Yes, both regions have their unique cultural identity and certain amount of distrust towards federal government, but both will not gain independence without some cataclysmic event destroying the respective countries as we know them.

Also compared to Tatarstan, "Siberian separatism" is a complete joke. During the "parade of sovereignties" Tatarstan has declared its independence and it got supported in 92s referendum [0]. For various reasons it was not true independence in the end, but even today Tatar elites are quite strong and have a certain degree of independence from the Moscow government.

Could it have been black flies instead of mosquitoes?

Blood is their favorite meal and they're known to swarm humans and animals alike in large numbers:

Mosquitoes at least have the courtesy the use a proboscis to remove your blood. Black flies just rip off a chunk of flesh to get what they're after, which I believe is reason that large swarms of them can seriously injure animals.
I saw somewhere that the UAE space program is more than 70% under the age of 35, which is interesting. Where I saw that, I don’t remember the source, it also looked like the space program is opening a cultural dynamic among school age children in the UAE to encourage increased interests in math and science for hope of joining the program.
That test is terrible. He bombed the test because he didn't understand the format that the grid is a series of 3 geometric equations (one per row) like A XOR B = C
Nespresso isn't technically espresso either, as Wirecutter points out (https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-nespresso-ma...).

That being said, I was under the impression moka pots require a lot of cleanup. For drip, there's a lot of competition, notably the AeroPress, that's only slightly less convenient than the Mr. Coffee machine. But I'm not aware of a product like that for espresso-like drinks.

I used this to create an Electron app for my entire iCloud account. It's the only way I can stand to use it from my Linux machines due to the aforementioned Firefox bug. I don't mind using Chromium as an Electron app for this purpose though. Combined with Alltray I got a nice little Apple logo in my system tray that I leave open.
It sounds like you need to adjust your expectations of your own work.

> I think that you are saying is no, it doesn't matter.

No I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the best way to prevent that isn't always to have a staging environment that mirrors production as well as you can.

> Individuals sitting around making isolated, disconnected decisions like the ones you're talking about (i.e., it just isn't worth it; it's not feasible; it's hard) compound in organizations and create the kinds of systems you don't want to deal with. You're making your own hell here. You seemed to have missed that key point in my earlier comment.

No, this was an intentional decision by the organization, that the organization shouldn't continue to invest time in solving the problem this way, because after significant effort expended by the organization, the conclusion of the people who the organization asked to investigate the problem was that solutions would not be feasible and would not improve things. You're acting like these decisions are always made in a vacuum. They're not. Often smart organizations investigate and make decisions at the level of leadership.

> Conflating test/experiment with what the original article claimed to be talking about (and then later walked back) is borderline disingenuous. No one is talking about A/B testing or intentional experiments.

Are you sure?

FTA:

> We conduct experiments in risk management every single day, often unconsciously. Every time you decide to merge to master or deploy to prod, you’re taking a risk.

> A healthy culture of experimentation and testing in production pulls together all three.

Canarying is just testing in production, but you have processes and "guardrails" (quoting the article) to make sure that it is done safely by default.

For the record, I work primary on reliability and release/experiment, and so I'm well aware that being explicit about your decisions is vital, as is knowing the tradeoffs involved. That's why pretending that you don't test in prod is a bad idea, because you almost assuredly do. That's what the article is saying.

Edit: As for Cassandra, it looks like they have system bugs caught in production, so I'm not sure what your point is (https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/CASSANDRA/issues/CAS...)

Anxiety is a normal response to these external pressures. And anxiety isn't going to go away until we address these pressures.

I'll throw in some other amxiety-inducing but solvable external pressures: homelessness, affording rent or health insurance, being forced to choose between going to work and getting coronavirus vs getting fired, precariousness, and so on.

This comment has a pet-peeve of mine, which is using the word "efficient" where it's unclear what the cost and benefit are. Efficiency is just cost per benefit, so it's not a very meaningful word if you don't know what the cost and benefit are.

I don't think you're wrong, I just am not entirely clear on what claim you're making. I'll venture based on context that the cost you're talking about is either electrical charge or time, but it's very unclear what benefit you're talking about.
Any non Dropbox version of this?
So far with every upgrade they have added features like more powerful processors and power hungry higher density screens. So most people haven't noticed the improvements in battery tech. Now I think phones have reached a point where I don't see many power hungry improvements going forward so we might start seeing longer lasting phones.

So holding a lower performing investment would make more money than moving to a higher performing one? I doubt it.
They are, but performance in teraflops is not the same as performance in general computing activities. We are now scaling horizontally within a single cpu package.
I've seen most real-world applications that use in-memory search, use balanced binary search trees. Are any of these improvements applicable to those data structures? AVL and Red-black trees come to mind.
Years ago I took a tip from (the admittedly fictional) Mr. Sherlock Holmes: I never go anywhere without my small notebook and a pen. Back pocket for notebook (and yeah, the current one is 3/4 full and beat to hell) and pen in front pocket(preferably a black Pilot Precise V5, which is both cheap and high quality).

It's really impossible to express how many times a day this comes in handy. The most mundane information usually, for me, is also the most forgettable, and a quick jot fixes that.

And finally, when the thing is cashed, though most of the notations within are completely useless after a couple days, the object itself has, through wear and abuse, become a compelling and aesthetically pleasing artifact.
Wouldn't your comment suggest that management DOES matter then? The person I replied to says that google has terrible management but is successful because of their starting position. As you have pointed out, bad decisions by management can lead to a company's downfall.
The number of hours you spend and what you do on your phone today compared to 10 years ago is also not the same.

reality is what a person experiences, not what they read in the news. the nano second, global reach of news has led to a warped reality that is heavily tilted towards doom. something bad that happened half way across the planet is instantly served up on a global scale. the scope of the news is no longer human scale, thus our inability to ever find balance in our perception of reality. put more influence in the immediate reality you personally experience and the balance will return. i haven’t looked at the news in two months and now get my news by asking friends and family whats going on. if something interests me, i will actively seek out more info on the subject/event. good luck.

That debate at the end over how the NYT portrayed how much money is made off of the order flows is interesting.

Is it reasonable for the NYT journalist to use total payment order flow revenue / average dollar amount per account instead of diving by total number of accounts? The latter seems like it would be a cleaner way to say "this is, on average, how much they're making off of each person"

Whatever it is - Robinhood is cleaning up. Wish I was invested in the company instead of just using it.

> It's pretty crucial to remember, though, that your current source of anxiety is probably just a red herring.

Everytime I have anxiety it's my brain focusing on one thing to avoid confronting the real problem. When I finally find the thing I am avoiding it's usually not that bad of an experience to deal with it directly. Some examples are "I should call person X to deliver news Y." Or "I need to make a big decision soon."
I always thought, effectively, commit to master === intent to deploy that code (assuming automated tests pass)

If you want to commit unreviewed (or even reviewed) code to a pre deployment branch, then make it just that, no? Have developers commit to a pre deployment branch and merge accepted PRs from there into master.

At some point you have to say “this code is going to trigger deployment”.

Your statement was the google was successful because of their starting position only, and that their bad management doesn't matter because they can't screw it up being in such a great position.

I think the existence of other companies that were in similar starting positions, and then subsequently failed, would prove that you need more than just that starting position to succeed.

No. They think they're voting for the good policies and actions. We can legitimately disagree over the good/bad of policies and actions.

Is instituting/increasing minimum wage: providing a livable income for those at the bottom? or denying jobs to those at the bottom (being unable to produce >= $MINWAGE)? Good/bad of the topic seems obvious, yet differing views are widely held.
It would be interesting to see how much impact better espresso machines and cheap grinders are having on Nespresso.

A decent burr grinder, a Nanopresso and a milk frother is much cheaper than a Nespresso and does something as good.

$AUD 10 Aldi beans with that is cheap and excellent.
You're not the first person to think of this, it even has it's own term. The hotel example isn't as extreme though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwashing

"Greenwashing efforts can range from changing the name or label of a product to evoke the natural environment on a product containing harmful chemicals to multimillion-dollar marketing campaigns portraying highly polluting energy companies as eco-friendly. Greenwashing is therefore a "mask" used to cover-up unsustainable corporate agendas and policies."

That's a weird flex, given that Metcals are a high-tech device, using a patented technology and were exorbitantly expensive before patent ran out. They still are, compared to the bargain basement soldering iron pricing. When the patent ran out, the original engineers ran off to start Thermaltronics.

We've all accidentally left the soldering iron on, sometime in our decades. The sensors in the iron lets it shut off and not burn your house down. Having an firmware (like the TS100 or TS80) means you can fully customize its behavior unlike most consumer devices. (I wish there was a microwave oven whos firmware I could tweak in order for, eg the popcorn button to make popcorn how I like my popcorn.)

Soldering irons are at this fairly unique intersection of consumer device and hardware hacker that I'm really surprised by the some of the luddite attitudes around here. I bet there's some cool firmware mods you could do if you have to solder something that looks like a heat sink. (Eg maybe it could do 18650 cells, if you don't have a welder.)

The other innovation of the TS100 is that battery-power capably powers a soldering iron. The TS100 is a bit older than the TS80, and can use 12V rechargable battery packs (eg for RC cars/planes); the TS80P can use recent USB-battery pack powering standards. It doesn't do much at the workbench, but if you're one of those people that leaves the house (modulo Covid), it turns out to be really useful! In decades prior, butane (cigarette lighter fluid) powered soldering irons existed, but could be persnickety and were a special version to buy. Now, just bring the iron along with USB battery pack you were probably gonna bring anyway.

Lithium ion battery got what internal combustion engine had in beginning of the last century. Wide spread usage. Once money is steadily coming from end user, all the Innovation will be directed towards minor efficiency improvement, which will in long term, develop the tech that seems impossible as the biggininng. I can see by end of next decade, lithium ion battery will surpass both energy and power density of gasoline, which seems impossible even from physics point of view.
I was just trying to clarify your actual question after spending two posts explaining why genocide is not relevant to U.S. public policy (or at least how this particular article fails to establish so).

To answer, I wasn’t there, I don’t know but based on the information available I assume it _did_ happen.
Actually that is his genuine opinion which reflects his interest. I also happen to point to you that I would also be more careful to judge community college courses. There are people doing great things over there too - dedicating their entire life.
I'm currently doing MITx's Fundamentals of Statistics MOOC, which seems fairly similar to this one. The course material doesn't require too much understanding of real analysis, though the instructor does make cursory acknowledgements of the "technical details" he's glossing over, presumably for the more advanced students. The only analysis concepts we've used are continuity, differentiability, and convergence. It isn't a proof-based course: the instructor does prove some theorems in class, but the psets are all just computation. I do agree that it'll be harder to internalize some of the concepts w/o a background in analysis, but I think you can get a reasonable amount out of the course regardless.

That said, I did study analysis (but not measure theory) in college, and I don't entirely remember what I learned from calc vs analysis classes, so I may be a bit off here.
Payday loan sharks are the big one. Universal banking puts them out of business.
I love HN too, but I'm dubious it "points to the real diversity of what is happening." It mostly just has politics turned down to 2-3 out of 10.
A large number of banks have coin machines inside that will take unrolled coins and deposit them into your account for free. Coinstar unfortunately largely targets people that don't have bank accounts.
True, but in moderation. Looking at a homepage twice a day or reading a newsletter and responding accordingly is a very different habit than scrolling an infinite, constantly updated feed.
I don't "doomscroll" much but I definitely "FOMO scroll". I'll scroll through HN and my multi-reddit of programming subreddits to see if there's anything cool and new to learn or see what's happening in the tech world. I don't feel anxiety but it's definitely something I don't need to be doing right before bed
