Amateur cheesemaker here - I know there are both other amateurs and commercial producers I've met on HN over years, so I'd be curious to hear your input here too - to my thinking, while there are differences in working with raw vs. pasteurized milk, I also agree this seems overstated. Stilton is stilton.

What seems more likely is there was a cheese similar to Stilton that was formerly produced with raw milk, and chances are too that it depended on the local bacteria present wherever it was made, even down to the level of what those particular cows (or goats, or sheep, etc...) were eating. Without those conditions, it is similar, but never the same.

This is to my thinking the dirty secret of cheese... there are commercial varieties produced in enormous numbers that are consistent because they are done to scale in factory conditions. But, historically, a big part of the reason for so many variations and differences had more to do with conditions we can't created today because they would be considered unhygenic or unsanitary. It's also a reality that there really are only so many variations and many types that have distinct geographic names are substantially the same cheese.
> You want to know how many times I upgraded any of them? Never.

I did it several times. Seriously, upgrade is advantage. Some of Apple fanboys can deny it, but better to have that possibility.

And Apple SSD specs in 2020 makes me laughing. But I'm not whining, you want mac - be ready to pay premium price or spend time with hackintosh. It's just business.

I think Airs are the ideal machine for the majority of the population that just needs to reliably accomplish basic tasks. It's probably the cheapest if amortized over its lifetime.

At least until iPads can do everything laptops can.
Both private property and intellectual property are arbitrary social constructs. You can argue whether one or the other is good or bad if you want, but neither are fundamental laws of the universe and neither are more intrinsically true than the other. You are trying to draw a binary categorical distinction between the two where none exists.

> However, it seems to be an unnatural state of affairs, to have the government involved in enforcing secrets among its citizens.

It's no more "unnatural" than the enforcement of physical property laws. Courts and prisons and cops are artificial human institutions, not part of "nature".
> I'm not content: I want them to be even better.

Want what you like; but (1) pretty much everyone else wants that so it goes without saying, (2) it is common for people with plans to make things better achieve the opposite because they are lousy planners. The existence of things we don't like doesn't mean we know how to deal with them. People come up with ideas that sound good and don't work.

I think what you're referring to is that querySelector is O(n), while the older getElement APIs are O(1).

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14377590/queryselector-a...

That makes sense, but it has nothing to do with "string parsing", as the OP said. Parsing the query is fast. Executing the query is slow, because it's a more general API.

(And this is why the citation is important: because it shows the real issue, not the one described! Thanks for the clarification.)
Doesn't look like there's any relation.

There were no neck injuries (see the autopsy report) and thus the "putting their weight" concept is clearly an exaggeration. Nothing involving the neck was involved in the death.

It is a gross mischaracterization of the right that "the answer is yes".

There doesn't exist any way to arrest a non-compliant criminal without somebody getting all upset about it. Ultimately, some degree of violence will be required. Leaving criminals to run free is how you get a failed state, and then gangs create their own not-so-nice justice system.

Hiding the video in order to create needless racial strife was just plain evil. Numerous additional people have died as a result.
Gmail has been a SPA since launch. There were some pre-launch versions that were not, and it has always had a plain HTML fallback mode.

I believe there may have been some major changes to the way it did the client-side rendering a few years after it launched. The original version was more ad hoc, since it was pretty much the first time anyone (at Google, at least) had built a real SPA. Later they built tools and libraries, and developed a more systematic way of doing things. (I was at Google during that time period, but never worked on Gmail.)

Blood, time, sweat, and a lot of tears. Your words mean a lot to me, just to hear this after 10 months of grind is a happy feeling.

I am ready to get back to work though. The grind don't stop, just getting started.
This looks amazing, well done! Really intuitive and easy to use.

A minor suggestion: the phrase "Free Demo" on the landing page sticks out to me and feels awkward. I think maybe changing it to "Try" or "Demo" would be more fitting. Adding "Free" seems unnecessary and distracting.

I also think it should be highlighted, maybe changing it to blue text. Or maybe green.

Just my opinion.
Your pages are excellent by comparison to comparable offerings of similar information density mostly seen.

But there's always room for experimentation.

How about preserving a copy of your portfolio page now (and the PNG files it's now using) and giving it an address like /portfolioOLD?

Then using an image editor, ruthlessly resize/resample-at-lower-bit-depth one of your PNG's so their actual rectangular pixel dimensions are about the same size that they appear on a full-size monitor now.

Then ruthlessly compress it until it looks just a little less high-quality than it does now. Just a little bit, you want to be able to tell the difference but you don't want other people to notice. These are just thumbnails anyway.

Use these editor settings on the rest of the PNGs, renaming them accordingly as you go.

Deploy the new portfolio page linking to the resized renamed thumbnails instead.

Just guessing, but I expect it can bring the load time down to about 10 percent of the old portfolio.

And it would be really easy for anyone to A/B test and get representative numbers.

This is how we used to party like it's 1999.

I am going to guess that the police or media outlets chose the most nefarious looking photo they could find. They have that type of power to drive a narrative.

It's the same type of bias as when the mugshots of criminal police officers are taken, they are allowed to clean themselves up and put on a suite. It shouldn't be like this, but it is.

I kind of like how some European countries don't allow the photos or names of suspects to be released before the verdict. I also understand that it limits transparency and don't know how to deal with that.
Anyone here work on the flight control software? What's it written in? ada?

Curious how complex it is since it has to handle multiple engine failure scenarios etc...
A significantly better version.
Exactly. The tests are concerned with integrating the ML component into the broader picture of requirements and engineering. Engineers are not really interested in why the statistics of a model is failing. And should never be (that's why testing model internals in TFML is an anti-pattern)
> XMPP servers are really good these days, you know.

I definitely would trust Apple more than a random "XMPP servers are really good these days you don't need e2e when you run your own" random commenter on the Internet.
I think you may be surprised what the current rates are though.
So another application to ignore. React Native can't kill them all soon enough.
They were also pretty dismissive of Linux for a long time, so it's kind of funny to hear it as one of their biggest requests. 1Password X narrowly prevented me from switching for a while, but I've come to see alternatives as generally better options. Yeah, they're not as flashy, but I think Bitwarden and Keepass XC do a great job.

Keepass XC may even be doing a better job at security. At least in some dimensions.

A little less pricey but still good are Schlage Primus locks. Deviant Ollam mentioned them in a recent video [1]. Like Lock Picking Lawyer ("LPL" in the locksport community), Deviant has a good mix of security talk and entertaining banter.

Some chemist acquaintances of mine suggested the same from just looking at the footage immediately after. Along with some scary explanations of what fast shockwaves like that do to human blood vessels.

I was convinced this stuff should be outlawed for most uses pretty fast.

Though on the other hand, the number of incidents and deaths aren't that high considering how prevalent it is. It's just that a critical failure of handling that stuff is quite spectacularly bad.
Thanks man. Always happy to chat if you would like to do that. Hit me up!
That depends entirely on how deep you are. If you use Drive to store some personal files, then sure, you move your files to any alternative, install it as needed on your systems, and move on. If you frequently collaborate on Google Docs documents using hangouts and all of your contacts use your @gmail.com email address to communicate with you (whether by email or Hangouts), it gets really messy really fast. And then there are the services which, due to network effects or otherwise, don't have a real alternative yet; notice that this post talks about replacing YouTube with... alternative frontends to YouTube.
I am another linux user that uses local file syncing, so I guess I will have to use the old 1password 4 for windows build forever ha.
Apparently that craftsmanship went astray with the adoption of Electron.

The forests were in equilibrium before we cut them down. At best reforesting them can absorb the amount of carbon it takes to get them back in equilibrium, which is the same amount that was released when they were cut down.
Yes, it’s not that they don’t exist, but more that the burden is on the user to be aware of them, implement consistently on all devices and perform a degree of maintenance. Generally, speaking about users in aggregate, that is less conducive to good security practices in the long run than one nice, maintained piece of software with multiple clients and a team keeping sync running well. There’s a meta-affordance to consider, if you will.
This video is the one that made me gasp the hardest: https://twitter.com/FadyRoumieh/status/1290670721488900096

Something about the distance and the fact that it's on water puts everything into stark relief.
Agreed. This post seems like it's more about getting rid of proprietary software and replace it with free and open-source software,which admittedly is a lot harder.
I don't think it's just that they have fewer items in a category (they do) but that if you took all their SKUs for all products into markets, sub-markets, demographics, and ultimately individuals making purchases/using a particular SKU and organized it into a hierarchy - it would be almost a perfect tree with very few leafs touching the same branch.

Compare to Dell, whose equivalent datastructure would be a directed graph that probably contains cycles and non-sensical topology.
Looks like the commands for an IRC client, I wonder if they were intending an in-game community based on IRC?

I'm not sure it indicates actual multiplayer capabilities, or just the intention. It just looks like someone dropped an IRC client library into the repo at some point.

Totally speculation of course, but maybe even just a dev tool in the repo that got sent around to different devs/studios so that they could communicate. Slack being IRC for work wasn't a new concept after all.
Yeah doing up sells is another good approach.

I've considered doing a one time fee with up sells. Pricing is not entirely fixed. Still working out what the market wants and what the company will need to survive over the years.

Ill need to run the numbers and possibly bring on some advisors. This model does make a lot of sense to me.
I recently switched from Dropbox because of the added device limitations for the free tier and because I don't really want to pay 10 euro a month for 2 TB of space when I only need 10 GB. Got myself a Nextcloud instance for third of the cost and I have to say that the syncing absolutely sucks. It's so bad that I'm going to migrate away from it as well.

Not going back to Dropbox yet though. I'd rather try out Google Drive since I consider it to be much better consumer plans.

While Outlook Web Access (2000) was earlier, Gmail (2004) and Google Maps (2005) were definitely instrumental in establishing AJAX and the SPA pattern (though the term SPA came much later I think).
Google is extremely hard to let. Facebook was way easier. Exported my data and deleted all accounts in 2 days.

More likely Apple dont supply it since it ruins the aesthetic of the back having so many ugly ports. I mean, they've also done questionable things for aesthetic reasons like putting the USB port at the back, the power button at the back, the headphone jack at the back. All these ports need to be facing the user, not behind the screen (I have an iMac 2014, so this is speaking from experience). I honestly believe that an artist determined that iMac cannot be used as external monitor.

Just say "No" to the product. I'm not making the same mistake again.
Mathoverflow is different from most of the other SE sites in that it's only for research level questions. There is a separate site, math.stackexchange, for other math-related questions.
I have been coding UIs since 1992, how did we managed to pull it off in a more heterogeneous computing world without Electron, I wonder.

PWAs and Web Widgets I can stand behind, Electron is just laziness at the expense of the user.
This is definitely not the case. NO2 release is characteristic of spontaneous decomposition of nitrates, which can happen under a wide variety of conditions that have nothing to do with detonation. I’ve had the misfortune of seeing this happen once in a lab, due to a rookie mistake. It usually is the harbinger of a runaway exothermic reaction. There is nothing surprising here if ammonium nitrate is the primary suspect.

In the specific case of bulk ammonium nitrate, it has a low melting point (relative to a fire) and it starts to become quite unstable in that phase. The low risk of AN is premised on it being stored in a relatively clean, non-reactive environment.

Fuel oil generally isn’t considered a sensitizer for AN, you still need a booster, it compensates for the oxygen richness which improves efficiency. There are a bunch of nitrogen organics and metals, which I won’t list here, that will sensitize AN quite effectively but those aren’t implicated here.

Most fires with AN are caused by its reactivity. It will readily combine with other chemicals in the environment to produce compounds that are far more unstable than AN. These byproducts often act as the ignition point that ultimately causes the AN to detonate.

Ebay is decent. Not as cheap as it used to be, probably due to influx of new locksport folks, but still decent especially if you're looking for basic locks like a Master 3 or Kwikset.

Lots of people swear by Facebook Marketplace but I just hate giving over even more info to FB.

OfferUp can be good, very hit or miss, and Craigslist can be good too - even more hit or miss. I had a CL search running for over 6 months and finally got a worthwhile hit on some local locks yesterday, which was nice.

If you know some property managers, handymen, or property owners, lots of times you can get old locks very cheap or free just by asking.
So long as it's from sustainably farmed trees.

Every time I see a pack of paper, it proudly says "MADE IN INDONESIA." So long as cheap paper made from clear-cut rainforests and monkey massacres exists, I think I'd rather stick to (somewhat) locally recycled, even if it's not a perfect solution.
I don’t understand all the subscription hate. Don’t get me wrong. I, too, long for the days of DIY car repair and have a hard drive full of mp3s ripped from CDs (snagged from a Columbia House subscription, no less).

I feel the same way. Likely not to start but over time I think they would build up capability. I wonder how lesser gravity on Mars would help/hurt their efforts. Easier to heft heavy gear up high?

I'm also thinking on the flip side, say a Starship somehow gets irreparably damaged getting to Mars (but successfully gets there). With some basic gear they should be able to part it out and re-use the steel.

Thought this was going to go a different direction for a moment...
A bump key is easily hidden among other keys on a keyring; it's just a key cut to the lowest depths in all positions, otherwise it looks just like any other key. It's a lot less obvious than a set of lock picks.

Bump keys, as others have posted, are very crude and rough on the internals of a lock so I'd say use them sparingly, and never without the lock owner's explicit permission of course. But they do have a place. (And require practice too!)
