Then the article is wrong, wildly, overwhelmingly, brain-dead wrong. For the "hours" story, that must be wrong. Cooking rice is EASY, over any heat source with just a covered pot, iron, stainless steel, aluminum -- just a pot.

Your quote shows that the article is wrong.

I did NOTHING at all wrong. Instead I just explained how darned easy it is to cook rice. For anyone taken in by the article that there is a challenge to cooking rice, I did a good service.

What wrote is just what I got off the back of a plastic bag of rice decades ago. It was a good recipe then. It's a good recipe now. There is NOTHING wrong with what I wrote.

I will delete my post and let others struggle with the severe "challenge" of cooking rice.

The article was absurd -- cooking rice is EASY.

Enjoy your struggle of hours cooking rice.

Bye bye.

I know that people will complain about the news source, so here are local journalists covering the same phenomenon [0][1]. The past two nights have been marked by a withdrawal of federal and city police, and a corresponding drop in violence, riots, property destruction, and injuries.

It is almost as if the cops are the ones who instigate violence, and not the protestors.

Is there a reason why this patch was silently applied? For something as risky as breaking the boot process, you'd think you want user confirmation before proceeding. It can obviously be done, eg. https://d11a6trkgmumsb.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/5/f55e36.... Also, recovering from this might be easy if you're technically inclined, but it could be worse if you have FDE enabled with the boot keys sealed in TPM. Changing the boot loader or the secure boot settings in that case might lead to the TPM refusing to release the disk encryption keys, which could lead to permanent loss of data.

If you restrict yourself to certain types of objects and environments, you can use totally different techniques.

For a game dev class in uni, I wrote air hockey. This is straightforward because you only have circles and lines, and there's no gravity so objects can't rest on each other. I wrote an event-based physics engine, which exploits the fact that the equations to find the time t of a future collision are closed-form and you can just solve for t. If t is greater than the time to the next frame, just step everything forward; if it's less, step to that collision, then find the next one. Collision response is easy too: just choose a reference frame where one of the pucks is stationary, then solve conservation of momentum and energy.

This excludes some kinds of friction models, but if you choose one where deceleration due to friction is independent of speed (perfectly valid for lowish speeds), you're fine.

Another cool thing about an event-based system is that it makes it trivial to write an AI: just have the system try N moves toward the nearest puck, and run the simulation forward a few collisions to see if any of those moves results in a puck going in the opponent's goal.

As a result, we are making changes to some U.S. consumer-centric features and functionalities with lower usage.

I can’t even parse that last line. “Making changes [to functionality] with lower usage.”

Does that mean that it is less used? Or does that mean they are lowering usage?
Those bans have to do with IP rights. Regionalising of social media is effective censorship, since it's not that there are localized versions, it's that accessing outside versions and people, information and ideas in them is banned. If there was mere regionalising, they would be able to access the non localized version too, if they wished.
Perhaps I'm overly cynical but this doesn't feel like some semi-well reasoned policy based upon control of the app by the Chinese government as much as "they embarrassed me in Tulsa, I want them gone."
1 cup rice 1.25 cups water is what I use as a ratio for short-to-medium grain white rice (I recommend kokuho rose extra fancy). That also is the one typically inscribed on the side of a rice cooker pot. You can go a little over water-wise for a mushier rice, or under for a chewier/drier rice - white rice is forgiving.

/bin/sh?

I am not sure what the balance of facetious vs serious is here. The various Unix shells have been stable for quite a while. Obviously sh is very barebones, but zsh and bash, for example, have associative arrays and other modern conveniences.

Outside of various shells, there are several other options that come to mind which do not teeter on facetiousness.

So far as I know, tcl is also quite stable.

Common Lisp is perfectly usable as a scripting language and has a very stable standard and mature libraries.

+1, in countries like Turkey, Persia, India, Pakistan rice cookers are pretty uncommon. In my home country of Turkey where rice is eaten very commonly, I've never heard of a single person use it. Further, rice is typically first washed several times, fried with a bit of oil and perhaps some spices before being simmered. I don't know if it's possible to do this with a Japanese style rice-cooker.

The night sky isn't only available to some elite group of people. Although it's certainly difficult to see in cities due to the extremely high levels of light pollution. I recall an anecdote about power going out in a major city and residents calling the police up to report bright lights in the sky they had never seen before.

We should be trying to control our light pollution and space litter instead of increasing it, however. Seeing the galaxy with naked eyes shouldn't be alien to everyday people.

The reality is even quite poor countries are able to secure high quality internet for reasonable cost with appropriate policy. This isn't an otherwise unsolvable problem.

>"Virtual Pascal is a free 32-bit Pascal compiler, IDE, and debugger for OS/2 and Microsoft Windows, with some limited Linux support. Virtual Pascal was developed by Vitaly Miryanov and later maintained by Allan Mertner."

Features

The compiler is compatible with Turbo Pascal, Borland Delphi, and Free Pascal, although language- and RTL-compatibility is limited for features introduced after Delphi v2 and FPC 1.0.x.

VP was primarily useful for the following purposes:

Easily port existing 16-bit Turbo Pascal programs to 32 bits

Port existing 16-bit OWL programs to 32-bit Windows (in theory)

Write console (text-mode) programs for several platforms
Pascal development using the 32-bit Windows API (the classic development, no COM)

Learn object-oriented programming

Significant features of Virtual Pascal include:

Text-mode IDE

Debugger is integrated directly into the IDE and is reminiscent of Turbo Debugger

Fast compilation

Tool-chain written mostly in Intel assembly"

How is it that people are getting access to build all sorts of apps and prototypes with GPT-3 when it seems to be unavailable for most to access? Is there some secret to gaining access to the Beta API?

What's wrong with banning WeChat?

China bans WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and a whole other bunch of apps.

Zoom should be scrutinized very heavily and potentially banned as well. Keep in mind China bans Skype.
I've been dragging my heels on doing a new demo video for my company - going to try this out first thing Monday. Thanks, @oskarahl!

Couple things I'll be looking into:

* the zooming looks awesome

* how easy it is to insert title cards or subtitles

* I don't think I need the borders, so it'd be good if those are optional.
> Spotify isn’t using their market dominance in streaming to give artist a pittance?

What evidence do you have back this up? There’s every suggestion that Spotify are struggling to defend themselves against artists who demand bigger payments.

Additionally there’s every suggestion that Apple Music now have a larger portion of the market than Spotify, and if it hasn’t happened yet, it will soon.

All of that is ignoring other competitors like Google Music (or YouTube, wherever they’re calling it today) and Amazon Music.

Simply put, your assertion fails on multiple fronts.
There's two different but both problematic things here:

- Really poorly written spam detection.

- Failure to notify customers/no remediation procedure.

No doubt people will bring up "but then the spammers will know!!" Or similar, but honestly spammers are already limited by the cost of buying SIM cards ($5/ea), and I feel like customers being negatively impacted outweighs the minor benefit to spam-fighting (particularly when spammers could buy a single second number and detect this 100% of the time anyway).

Plus I'd be pretty upset if I was a customer paying for service, and I lost access to a part of that service for 10 days because I sent the word "butt" in a conversation. I'd feel particularly irritated if I wasn't told that my messages weren't delivered, and vital ones were just going into a void.
this is not a helpful or substantive comment. it's divisive and too bitterly partisan to be considered anything objective
One of the more interesting use cases for SpaceX/Starlink and Amazon’s satellite internet projects is their use as a back haul (not sure if the correct term) provider for other ISPs as well.

One of the biggest roadblocks to starting a new ISP or expanding an existing ISPs service area is the big capital expenditure of wiring up areas. I would imagine that having the ability to rent capacity on these networks of satellites would drastically decrease the barrier to entry for new ISPs to form.

I can also see it being useful for mobile data coverage in remote areas. You could install a cell tower along a highway somewhere remote, and you’d just need a solar panel to power the tower, satellite signal to get internet coverage, and then the cell radio to broadcast that to phones.
And how many people are going to start new perl projects after all existing codebases get broken? Especially considering their "values" now include breaking your code all the time.

They always had the choice to peacefully protest. Everyone knew they were purposefully attacking the courthouse.

Mostly a distraction from real police reform. Federal police arresting violent white protestors is low on the list of important priority police reform issues in the US. Seemed like two groups were trying to make an important moment about themselves.

I'd watch it start to descend into on Twitter, and the feds would let them protest for 4-6 hours until around midnight, usually when it got really bad before declaring it unlawful. And everyone did their song and dance. Then the next day the news and political punditry would be all about vandalizing some courthouse and nothing else.
There is a whole world to discover here, both literally and figuratively.

There are numerous virtual airlines. For example,

https://flyuk.aero/

which is integrated with VATSIM and IVAO. FlyUK is UK based, of course, but has extensive EU operations and also international operations through other virtual airline partners.

https://www.vatsim.net/ itself is an organization of aircraft and Airline Traffic Controller (ATC) sim enthusiasts. At this moment, I see about 900 pilots and 90 ATC on line.

These organizations offer pilot and ATC training. There are many events scheduled, e.g.

https://www.vatsim.net/events/southern-africa-triangle

http://ivao.co.uk/cms/events_id.php?id=412

It will be awhile before all these services are fully integrated with the new MSFS and a new community of third party aircraft and utilities are available.

One thing specific to C++ is that the main point of discussion isn't necessarily about the language itself, instead it is about breaking the ABI or not moving forward. Breaking the ABI would allow for significant performance improvements, but that would require a huge amount of libraries to be recompiled, which is something a lot of vendors don't want and sometime cannot because sources aren't available anymore.

I wonder how much they’ll save. They sell millions of cpus and can distribute the engineering cost across them, but compared to amds/intels processor numbers it seems small.

The trick I found (maybe this is true of all rice cookers) is it's better if it has time to rest after cooking. I start the rice as the very first thing when cooking and it works well.

I've been using Alacritty for a while, but eventually got back to the standard Terminal.app and iTerm.

The former feels snappier (and is probably GPU-accelerated as well anyway), looks better and comes out of the box. The later has way more features.

I just tried Alacritty 0.5, and it has some weird artifacts when text color changes, which happens a lot when the shell highlights commands, or when editing text.

Anyway, it's great to have options.
The article here doesn't say the damage is irreversible, or that it hugely impacts quality of life. Which has been a pattern when I've researched long-term effects. There was a study getting passed around showing that 84% of sufferers had persistent neurological symptoms - certainly scary, even if they're not permanent! But if you poked in further, they were mostly composed of headaches, muscle aches, and dizziness, which are entirely normal and unsurprising consequences of recovering from a serious disease.

More generally, chronic and potentially permanent damage is a fact of life. If the long-term nonfatal consequences of the coronavirus don't pass the scale or severity of, say, carpal tunnel syndrome, I'm comfortable rounding that off as "not a big deal in the scheme of things".

Good lord this is one of the saltiest posts I've ever seen on here, which is an accomplishment.

The simple lesson here is: what is easy for you is not necessarily easy for everyone else, and you should not get pissy if you state your opinion so miserably and everybody fights back.

Also, yes it's fairly easy to cook rice in a pan. I cook rice probably 4 days a week, and I now use a rice cooker. My rice cooker:

- Can be set up ahead of time

- Has different cooking profiles for different varieties of rice

- Can keep the rice warm, safely, for many hours after it's cooked

- Cooks the rice very well. It even has a special mode for cooking the rice longer in a specific way, which results in extremely nice-tasting rice

It means that I have rice ready and waiting when I finish cooking the rest of the meal, which no longer has to be timed alongside the rice, which means I can focus on cooking the interesting food and not the bloody rice.

Your experience is different from many others.
