I just tried one of these this weekend! It was quite fun.

The self heating reaction generates magnesium hydroxide (and hydrogen gas... but that just goes away) as its byproduct. It's not awful for you, but it's definitely not good either. Anyhow the physical setup of the box I had basically had a lower heating reservoir, and then a tray holding the food untop. I don't think any of the heating liquid was going to get into the food.

Leaching of chemicals from packaging though... ya. This is probably not ideal for every day eating.

Ok, that all being said, for the food experience itself, it was actually really fun. I got some mala hot pot, and the relatively limited serving size was perfect given that while I love that flavour, I really can't take that much of it. All of the non-noodle ingredients were vacuum pouched (not dried), so aside from the noodles, all the other ingredients were already cooked - you're just reheating them. Hot pot is an ideal food for this format since:

a) In normal hot pot, the food itself is cooked by boiling in broth, and flavoured by the broth. This means there are little to know "technique specific" flavouring or texture to recreate. Aside from the thinness of the vegetable slices (they're thinning then I would prepare for myself for hot pot), I could not distinguish the ingredients as coming out of pouch by taste or texture

b) When scaled down to single serving size, a well balanced hotpot consists of a relatively small amount of many different ingredients. If you're living alone (or even with two), it can be challenging to deal with the extra amount of all the ingredients you want (this is why hotpot restaurants were so successful to begin with).
In North America, IKEA is considered your "starter" furniture and then you graduate to better stuff once you've "settled in" with career, family etc.

So usually you are replacing IKEA with something that is not IKEA.

People who can't afford to upgrade from IKEA also don't waste money changing lamp colours.

Perspective is everything.

A simple example to understand how perspective can alter reality is to imagine being a point floating in a 3-D space where you are able to see the X-Y-Z axes. Now, imagine tracing (0,0,0) when you are at (500,500,500). Trivial.

Now, trace (0,0,10^100). That is a huge Z-line you would say. This is the side view.

Now, move to (0,0,10^100) from (500,500,500).
This is the top view. What do you see?

Another example:
When viewed from perpendicular to X-Y plane, a circular motion on X-Y plane looks properly circular.

When the same motion is viewed standing far away on the X-axis, the motion resembles an oscillation.

Same motion, different perspectives, seemingly different results.
This is fun, because it shows just how pervasive function application is in programming. You can build whole programming languages on just function application (which is what the Lambda calculus is about).

Yes, my understanding of brutalism is that it was meant to be about "honesty" rather than "ugliness" -- little decoration, craftmanship, or anything for the quality of the materials themselves to hide behind. But some of its most famous exponents appear to be more about "ugliness", so over time it's kind of come to mean "ugliness in the name of honesty", which really is hard to appreciate.

The problem with poor people is they don't have any money.

--

Government loans money to society, which is repaid thru taxes.

Loaning money to the lower quintiles is Keynesian demand-side policy, to the upper quintiles is supply-side Reaganomics policy.

There isn't an ideal single strategy. We simply need to target and adjust these loans and taxes, as needed, to nudge the economy in the desired direction.

Short term, we need thresholds for triggering automatic actions, so the economy can be managed something closer to real-time. For instance, start sending out stimulus (give poor people cash) whenever there's X number of consecutive quarters in recession.

I'm looking for feedback from early users, so please share them with me.
> it's just an obscure way to hack yourself.

that's only true for applications that strictly only ever work on and display content that the user has created themselves.

This is an increasingly rare type of application in the age of the internet and social media to the point where I would argue that most applications these days interact with data created by other users (think opening an image file, displaying a chat message, displaying an email, etc).

With Electron you're setting yourself up in a way where a single case of a forgotten input escaping automatically means a remote code execution attack.

On websites, XSS certainly are a bad thing, but they are still somewhat limited in scope and generic mitigations exists in many browsers.

In Electron apps, an XSS means an RCE unless you make use of features like `conextIsolation`.

Reading your comment makes it obvious to me that this isn't already a well-known issue. People generally aren't aware or believe their type of application to be immune and thus it would, and that's the point of my initial comment, make sense to either default to secure or at least default to asking the user to specifically make the decision to be insecure.

Defaulting to turning every XSS attack into an RCE seems to me like a very bad decision.

Pickup truck. I bought one 4 years ago. Not having to rely on delivery services has been a game changer. When my dishwasher broke and delivery was 3 weeks out I just went to the warehouse and picked it up that day. When my hot water heater died and the plumber was a no show 3 days in a row (for which I had to take time off work each day) I finally just bought one myself at the hardware store and with the help of YouTube installed it myself for probably $1000 less anyway. I never thought I needed a pickup but I find it helpful once a month for some task: Hauling a server rack that was donated to a non-profit, dump runs, building a tree house for the kids, towing a tractor, etc. As an added bonus the higher ground clearance means I can get out before the snow plow comes.
While I agree that you can justifiably write off a majority of the criticism as "a bunch of yuppies who have no business using an allen wrench complaining they assembled it wrong" there is quite a bit of validity to complaints that the wooden equivalent of a pringles chip has no business doing anything structural.

I think that Clojure does something interesting here, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Apparently, it uses very small and abstract libraries and seems to lead to narrowed down dependencies.
Using pointers for sorting is fine as long as you don't care about the
order (parent referenced std::set and it's not uncommon to use a set of
pointers if you just want to store some objects). Likewise it's fine to
use pointers for equality-comparisons as long as the pointer is valid
(of course you have to dismiss the pointer when the memory is freed).

I'm pretty sure this memory extension doesn't affect uniqueness of pointers... that would indeed break a lot of software ;-)

A fun little physical experiment: a density gradient of the water in a fish tank (caused say by putting sugar in the water) will cause a laser to bend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhNZP2KgMLw

How this can be connected to gravity I do not exactly know. I suppose the change in the refractive index of the water is akin to g_{00} component of the Riemann metric, since it produces a compensating change in the wave vector at that point. Whether you could imagine GR consistently in terms of changes in the local speed of light a.k.a. changes in the permittivity of free space, again, I do not know.

We do have a bit of selection bias since structures still standing were likely well built while those poorly built are simply gone.
I think this is reading too much into the toy example, but I want to mention a drawback of your rewrite: in the original, map and filter made it clear that all logic was happening element-wise. By creating functions that take the entire list as input, this has been obscured.

The overall point I'm making is that for years Apple
sold inferior hardware at vastly inflated prices, and
made up for it only in superior marketing

This is a simplistic take that ignores some key actual reasons. There's no argument that the C64 was superior in terms of graphics and sound although even that comes with a caveat.

Marketing is not why Apple beat Commodore, or at least far from the only reason. Nobody bought Apples because of the ads. I don't remember even seeing an Apple ad on TV, and people weren't so impressed by magazine ads that they would go spend an extra $1,000 on Apple.

---

1. The Apple II's were much more expandable thanks to their expansion slots, and there was a big ecosystem in place here already by the time the C64 gathered steam. You can see a somewhat similar dynamic at work today with RaspberryPi. There are competitors with more powerful hardware but with RaspberryPi, the ecosystem is the draw.

2. The Apple II (and soon after, the Mac) dominated the US education market. They developed strong relationships with schools, and had the most "educational" software titles.

3. 80-column mode. I know there were ways to achieve it on a C64, but what percentage of titles supported it? Additionally, a lot of folks had their C64s hooked up to crappy TVs that couldn't display it.

4. The C64's superior graphics and sound ability hurt it in the minds of many consumers. It was cheaper than an Apple II, but as far as parents were concerned that was still a lot of money to pay for a "game machine." Whereas the even more expensive Apple II, with a better selection of educational and "serious" software, was seen more as an investment in a child's future.

---

I can tell you that in our household, #2 and #4 were why my (non tech savvy) parents bought us an Apple. They wanted me to have "what schools used."

Did they make the right choice? Well, the Apple IIgs we got was definitely underwhelming. Obviously a C128 or Amiga would have been better for gaming and writing fun stuff. But, our local school district did use Apples back then. So it was kind of an advantage for me, to have one at home.

This is a bad faith interpretation of that tweet. They were responding to a tweet about unnecessary government expenditure with an example of another expenditure that (allegedly) Musk supported. You can call it a whataboutism or attack it for a number of other things, but this is an irrelevant strawman.

But on one hand we have an app made by a company valued at 2 billion $, with hundred of millions of $ in funding, made with a tech stack that is sold as the best thing since sliced bread, and on the other we have a one-person-show coding an app in C++/Qt in their free time, which is also compatible with Slack, much faster than the official Discord client, and which does not seem to have any CVEs reported against it (yet, of course, but still :-)).

At some point the supposed amazing development efficiency of the web stack ought to be put in that perspective.

But those 60 images per second are the same static, unchanging caricature. It makes more sense to say that the child sees the same image multiple times than to say she sees multiple images.

So how does the child learn to recognise a fully 3-dimensional real-life horse from a single caricature of a horse seen any number of times? Can you explain?

Also, if you were to train a nerual net with a single insance of a caricature of a horse, even if you copied it a million times to create an example set of a million copies, the neural net would still only be able to elarn how to recognise that particular caricature, if that- it would certainly not be able to extract any useful features to recognise real-life horses from that single caricature.
