Ditto! I barely use my stove these days! For Indian food..the transition was super easy from pressure cooker to instant pot.

Our neighbor who moved to the East coast sent me a bag of wild rice from her state. I made a wild rice and mushroom soup in less than half an hour. The same would have been a production earlier as wild rice takes longer to cook than regular rice. I was also able to make it a larger batch and freeze it for later.

I am used to flash freezing having worked in restaurants and I am not a fan of freezing left overs in a home freezer and probably won’t be doing this again if this fails the texture test.

The smaller instant pot was perfect to make a nice roux for thickening and it doesn’t burn. And clean up is a breeze.

> All cause mortality is absurdly higher if you use drugs to sleep, including OTC stuff[0]. [0] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4883191/

Your reference only studied people who took Z-drugs, benzodiazepines, or no medications, and says nothing about OTC sleep medications. There are no OTC Z-drugs or benzos on the market.

The paper also notes that only chronic use of Z-drugs and benzos were associated with increases in mortality, and not intermittent use of Z-drugs. Even then, they issue a disclaimer about drawing such conclusions:

> In short, while no relation with mortality for intermittent users of Z-drugs was found, the current study showed that use of benzodiazepines and chronic usage of Z-drugs both were associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality. Most of the effect estimates were reduced, but remained significant, after adjusting for confounding factors (except for Z-drugs). However, the low numbers of individuals reporting chronic usage indicate that the data should be interpreted cautiously.
Got it, thanks for clarifying. From the available info, I don't yet see a pattern that would explain the specific areas reporting shortfalls.

If I had to guess based on what's currently known, it's either A) A mistake or B) A change in distribution strategy that was not clearly articulated to Pfizer & the states.
My biggest interaction with Smalltalk was having been invited by Alan Kay (along with a number of others from my university) to tour Parc. We got down there, saw a demo of Smalltalk-74, and were of course blown away. There were other things we were explicitly told we could not know about, such as the “ball-bearing machine” (which I now believe to have been a laser printer). Because much of their low-level coding was done in BCPL, and I was very familiar with the internals of Martin Richards' compiler, I also asked to chat with their BCPL guy, whose name I now forget. I introduced myself, and we chatted for a few minutes. He then got suspicious, and asked me why I was there. I explained what was going on, and he called for a lawyer, who asked me if I was a U.S. citizen. I replied that I was Canadian. Shortly thereafter, the whole lot of us were rounded up and expelled.

A few years later, I was working at another place (definitely not Parc!) and found a copy of the Smalltalk-76 manual that somebody had left on the Xerox [sic!] machine. I lost no time in copying it, and admiring the amazing thought that had had gone into the language's design.
Yeah, but Galactic Federation is a sci-fi term. The aliens could call it Galactic Brains Network, or even Local Cluster Department of Thinking Devices.

Or Very Massive Ensemble of Genetic Transport Devices.

Or anything totally new, which could gives us a notion of a galactic point of view, non-human point of view, outside of earthly concepts.

But anyways, I want to believe!
Anarcho-capitalism and the general right-libertarian tendencies in tech culture are virulently opposed to libertarian socialism, though. That said, I agree with your appraisal.

A lot of reminiscing and feeling old, no actual content:

I did a lot of my early programming on BASIC6, since I grew up nearby and my school gave us DCTS accounts. It was basically the same language as BASIC(1): variables could only be two digits long and the result of an IF/THEN could only be a GOTO. I still loved the language, even though it was objectively garbage compared to BASIC7 and BASIC8 which had already been developed. They had cool things like proper subroutines, and using them would probably have been a lot more fun. The interesting thing was that the language was actually compiled, not interpreted like crummy PC BASIC. This made it (relatively) screaming fast.

I wrote my first big program in BASIC6. It was a chat application called ECHO that was a clone of something called Xcalibur that the college kids used. It was awful spaghetti code. I remember using up line number 10,000 and panicking because I could no longer find intermediate line numbers in big chunks of the code (I started counting by 10s and then gradually filled in a lot of the intervening lines. There was no renumbering procedure I was aware of.) All that speed came in handy since there was no concept of threading in BASIC6 and my program had to sequentially handle commands from all the users. People hated it with a burning passion.

One time I found John Kemeny’s email and showed him my amazing BASIC6 monstrosity. He wasn’t very happy about that.
I think nostrademons was trying to make the point that Coinbase Custody has nothing to do with Coinbase. Even if Coinbase looks amateur, maybe Coinbase Custody and Gemini Custody are both equally professional.
Naah, don't you see this is about Freedom vs Slavery for all of the US, and perhaps all of humanity, so all developers should quit Apple and join Google or Microsoft to save the humanity.
Most of my friends/family who use work laptops/computer do the same thing - they log in via a private browser so they don't get work credentials mixed with personal credentials.

I think firefox containers are a great way to handle this, and a lot of folks don't know how to use chrome or other browsers with multiple identities.

Maybe look past that this user is doing it for privacy.
Estate taxes are on the estate, not a person. Also, there is a built in assumption that taxes have been paid. This is almost always not true, see step-up cost basis.

Estate taxes serve a purpose, though I would argue that a lack of will has caused them to not serve that intended purpose. That doesn't mean that estate taxes aren't the right tool, just that it has been sabotaged. That also doesn't mean that they are the correct or best tool, but until we can see what the full force of estate taxes are, it is impossible to say.

The type of tax that you just described is called an inheritance tax, and I am perfectly ok with them as well. Income is income, it doesn't matter whether it comes from your employer, a rental company, self-employment, or otherwise.

Something I would be against is both an Estate and Inheritance tax being levied by the same entity. That doesn't serve any real purpose.

I'd actually prefer an inheritance tax combined with a more progressive tax system over an estate tax.
Hahaha, the Filipino diet involves FAR more than those fresh foods you list. The poverty experienced in that nation is extreme and very few eat properly. I'd wager that they may have worse health metrics than americans in nearly every category (including obesity)

Worse, everyone (even americans) tend to agree that "ordinary" Filipino food is less healthy (and less tasty) than basically anyone elses. Compare your experience at jolibees to at McDonald's. I claim that almost everyone (even people who hate both) will prefer the food at McDonalds, and that the average item from McDonalds is healthier than from Joliebees

Filipinos trying to bring up their good food and "somehow were still having bad health outcomes" is pinoy pride going wrong. And who can forget about THIS delicacy?

Unfortunately for that theory of conflicting bribes, much of the world is foreign. Bribes from foreign nations are mostly against the interest of country the politician is supposed to be running. Those bribes are incredibly cost-effective in the USA.

The currency of DC is blackmail. They will not discover, publicize, and punish other's bribes. They use the threat of that to keep each other in line. This is bipartisan collaboration.
It's fine if you have the sponsor to pay for your time to deeply understand all the security protocols required and to keep up-to-date with those as well as their different implementations.

But complexity is the worst enemy of security because it easily creates loopholes in security. I think anything that can be done to simplify security will exponentially improve security.
As a poor old 1x dev, I absolutely cannot fix any arbitrary complex issue in any arbitrarily large codebase written in any language at all, using any obscure build tooling, any complex framework, any architecture pattern at all, while not breaking anything else, within a timeframe that doesn't make most commercial support response times look enticing.

Really? Approximately how many users, would you say, will be unable to install MacOS as a result?
Depends. Oftentimes the shipping problem is the carrier's fault (e.g. UPS or FedEx) and not in control of the shipper at all. Other times they packaged it poorly and it predictably broke, leaked, or melted and it's entirely the carrier's fault. But I do see a plethora of comments that seem to be blaming things like shipping delays on the seller.
I realize this may bring in a few dollars per month for the domain owners, but do these websites provide any real value?

If you are scraping the content from the web anyhow the user would be better off going to the original source, or a moderated environment like Reddit I would say?
But some free software is mainstream. Just look at the Linux kernel.

You don't have to necessarily 'capture value' in the capitalist/market sense to be successful.
People I know who use Apple products wouldn't care. They want things to "just work" and to get their tasks done. If that's within some restrictive paid app they don't care, Apple device owners aren't penny pinchers.

Seriously,who are the Apple users that are shocked by more and more locking down, less repairability, fewer ports and cross-brand compatibility etc? Anyone who cares about that stuff in my environment is already on Linux on desktop and Android on mobile.

Apple has its own universe and its fans like it that way. Software and hardware tightly coupled and designed together, apps highly vetted and filtered in a walled garden, compatibility among Apple devices is ensured, you can do fewer things and are kept between guardrails but are less likely to screw something up or run into bugs and untested territory etc. Seems like there's a market for this. The problem is when people have the wrong expectations and don't use existing alternatives that are better suited to their preferences.
I'm always saying[1]:

It's almost always possible to rewritte shitty performing algo, but it's almost impossible to undo leak / hack.

Let's start asking security questions during FAAMG interviews and this alone will increase security knowledge among developers

But yea, it's easier to ask about big O differences that do not reflect reality than security because it'd require interviewer to be competent in that matter.

Pornhub hasn't remotely cleaned up. Search for Japanese videos longer than 40 minutes, basically all of Japanese porn videos are illegally on Pornhub.

The point though is that this article decrying the influence on science by industry is itself influenced by industry and shows this by not using neutral terminology.
Plenty of SWEs in Los Angeles make 300k+ $US, just look at Netflix. But the average is still in the low-mid 100s.
Are you familiar with the "Rules for Rulers" video by CGP Grey on YouTube? [1]

In this video, it is argued that complicated tax law is the method by which democracies reward their particular "keys to the kingdom" - so the complexity is a feature, not a bug, and will be very difficult to undo; so "would all the government to bring in much more money than it currently does" may not be the goal.

This is without SSAO.
A for loop's greatest strength is its greatest weakness: you can do anything, including in most languages mutating the index variables (god forbid..!), deeply nesting with mutable data, and so on. I usually find I can understand a map quicker than a loop, because a map requires that the code be simpler in most cases.

Obviously in the trivial case though a loop is very easy to understand. The trivial case usually, in my experience, involves iterating through the entirety of an array though anyway, in which case the map is usually more concise.

YMMV! :)
Thank, I'll take a look. I used to watch the cherno's videos, long time ago.

Funny story: following a video (ThinMatrix) about creating a 3D engine in Java (I was translating everything to JavaScript and working around the old OpenGL concepts_) I learned that you can't have an object as a index in a JavaScript Dictionary. Living and learning.
Thank you. I was wondering if people would find the API and do anything with it. You can use the same endpoint to check approved submissions (status: 1) and rejected submissions (status: 2) although currently there aren't very many rejected as I recently switched databases and didn't bother to transfer over rejected submissions.
Good strategy. Most people don’t know this but in San Francisco ferry market plaza whose first floor is full of restaurants, there is no gas connection. The code doesn’t allow for fire extinguishing infrastructure and the overhead foam sprayers etc. pretty much all of them have electric and semi prepped food made off site made in a commissary kitchen or at another restaurant branch.

Restaurant code and permits are notoriously difficult and in San Francisco expensive ..a nightmare actually. If restaurants can do without a stove..cooking in a dorm is easy peasy.
Believe it or not, that actually happened back in in '96. There's a documentary on it called 'Mars Attacks.'

For the first version I’m just doing a hard-coded daily schedule, plus a button to bump the setpoint up briefly if I get a chill. The server is still useful even for this simple setup because I can just use the NTP-synced system clock instead of having to mess around with an RTC on the Arduino, and also so I can log things for later analysis.

In the long run, I have a bunch of ideas bouncing around in the back of my head that I might get around to eventually: the aforementioned geofencing, interfacing with an automatic alarm clock (also not built yet) to turn the heat on right before I get up, detecting when I go to bed rather than having a set schedule, determining my preferred temperature based on the weather (I think I mind the cold less when it’s raining), running the ceiling fan (in the summer, and maybe also to pull heat down from the loft in the winter), and so on. No idea if I’ll actually do any of them, but the option is there.
It’s going to be a pendulum for some time. All for D&I but my employer (a large consulting firm) is touting 75% female leadership now and showing no signs of slowing.

As an learning project, I recently typeset Eric S. Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" essay in LaTeX. I was surprised to find that as I got more familiar with the text that I disagreed with it quite a bit. Raymond was the coiner of "open source," and he's pretty positive throughout the essay that open-source software is superior to proprietary software technically. As this article points out, that relies a lot on there being enough people working on a project. Raymond also discourages the use of the term "free software" in another essay.

Eric S Raymond concludes "Cathedral" with the statement that proprietary software is on its way out due to paid developers not being able to compete with the man-hours invested by volunteers. It's a very whiggish attitude that hasn't been borne out. He's still saying stuff like this, such as that Windows will inevitably become a layer on top of the Linux kernal.

It was nice to see this article come along to HN when I was already thinking about this. I do think it's important that free software be used on principle, even if it's not better or set to wipe out its proprietary equivalent.
Agreed on the magnitude. The size of relative spike also looks worse. Such that I really don't know any obvious points to draw.

My question on accuracy is more on how well we know the source. A scientific online passive poll is likely still pretty bad. Especially if taken from a partisan audience.

Also, just to emphasize. I don't see any obvious points. But that not includes agreeing with the approach Sweden took. I just don't understand much of the reporting focusing on the voluntary aspect without establishing that Sweden had bad compliance with mask wearing.
OP here, yeah the amount of website variations this could lead to (and don't get me started with CSS media features!).

I don't see this strategy being adopted by most websites, but I reckon it's a technique worth knowing about. I've worked on WebGL visualisations where the device RAM played a big role on performance for example.
You're focusing on developers, which is a minute fraction of the population. And even developers mostly use software written by other people. The point of Free Software is to respect the freedom of users of the software.
I've been reading about Smalltalk and Squeak for years and only just now realized the relationship between their names.

Anyway... My only real exposure to Smalltalk was via obj-c. That combination of simple languages was truly amazing in terms of its power/complexity ratio.

I'm not doing native iOS dev anymore, but from a distance, it's a little sad for me to see how much of radical departure Swift is from that simplicity...
Wait, the controversy is review bombing due to Xi Jinping continuing to be upset over wine the pooh comparisons?

I mean I get the whole being a totalitarian dictatorship, but at some point just grow a thicker skin, you're a public figure and should simply ignore this. Or do a Ted Cruz and embrace it.

I recognize that this won't happen as Xi has for some reason decided not to take me on as a PR consultant, but for non-chinese companies to then vigorously back track to appease him is getting old and sickening.

The most scariest part from this is Homeland Security saying that Solarwinds wasn't the only vector used by the APT.
The easy answer is C extensions. PyPy does not support C extensions, and thereby does not support a wide range of native, accelerated libraries. Facebook infra is heavily dependent on wrapping C/C++ libraries (like Thrift) for use in many languages, and not having C extensions (or Cython) would cut off a large portion of our shared codebase.

I love airflow because it shows you the tasks in a tree view, and dag view, and you can trigger jobs manually.

The UI is fine, but looks to be improved in 2.0.

Main improvement I am looking forward to are the scheduler changes, I run a few jobs that trigger every minute in airflow, and it's definitely not intended for that.

Apple has an effectively infinite budget. Teams within Apple do not. You need to be able to cut costs to improve your ability to scale the eng org/reduce associated costs with that scaling. Reducing complexity in your SW stack is 100% critical as you age so that you can lay down technical debt and build new things faster with the freed up capital.
My point was that CPython does reference counting, resulting in the Copy-On-Read behavior described in the article. That isn't something that can be easily changed, not without writing a whole new CPython system (or switching to another Python implementation). Their solution to the problem was the cleanest, under the circumstances.
We also call them “behavioral psychologists.”
