Thanks for the explanation but the text you quote doesn't say that fermentation-produced rennet is the norm in the cheese industry and that animal rennets (as well as fungal and plant rennets) are only used in a tiny proportion of all commercial cheeses.

If someone who didn't know anything about cheesemaking were to read the article, the opinion they would form from it would probably be that rennet is made from calf stomachs' linings and that other kinds of rennet are "some times used".

It wouldn't help anyone reading the article to find out that "vegetarian rennet" was commercialised in the 1970's and 80's as the article later says, because the article hasn't made any attempt to explain what "vegetarian rennet" is, exactly. "Vegetarian rennet" can apply to fungal or plant rennet as well as it can apply to rennet produced by bacterial frermentation and an inexperienced reader may well confuse the three and think that it only applies to the former two.

To quote directly from the article, the phrase "vegetarian rennet, derived from molds or plants, is used in some cases" is the one I find the most potentially confusing to readers who don't have detailed knowledge of cheesemaking.
I heard moving into a new home and then immediately burning it down to camp in the back yard is great for the maximizing your Daily Steps KPI also. This conversation of "what I did":"what the outcome was":"what the goal was":"what the organization needs to win" seems a bit imprecise.
Isn't variable sized array non-standard in C++? Variable sized array is kind of a special thing anyway so I wouldn't be surprised if some compilers do something special with it.

Yes, the term "automatic storage" is more accurate here.

To contrast, I have very fond memories of FVWM from the nineties, always liked its minimalism and default "padded" look (I mean the beleved buttons and bars -- basically what the use in the current website as its theme: https://www.fvwm.org/ ). FVWM was no-fuss to get things done, Englitenment and co were for the more Emo-types who liked "edgy" themes.

Later, I also used Windowmaker and Blackbox, and at some point I gave up and had a full-on KDE as the desktop.
Sometimes there is a good reason to use a more breakable plastic part. Baratza coffee grinders are sturdy and well-designed, but there is a plastic gear in the power chain between the motor and the burrs.

That gear isn't plastic because it's cheaper than a metal gear, it is a sacrificial part.

Suppose you get some coffee beans with a rock in them. The burrs seize up because they can't grind the rock, and you don't notice it in time to cut the power.

Imagine that every part in the power chain is as sturdy as the motor and the burrs. The motor may burn out, or else it manages to force the burrs to turn, ruining them.

Now you have to replace either the expensive motor or the expensive burrs.

Instead, the plastic gear fails, saving the motor and burrs. This gear is cheap and easy to replace. (Baratza may send you one for free, even if the machine is out of warranty. Their customer service is second to none.)

So there are some cases where a breakable plastic part can avoid damaging or ruining the more expensive parts.

Of course one could imagine other ways of solving the "grinding a rock" problem. Maybe some kind of sensor to turn off the motor if it seizes up? But that would increase the cost of the grinder, and who knows if it may have other failure modes. Since this is such a rare situation, the sacrificial plastic gear is a simple and effective solution.
which begs the question...why even have a fiefdom. In my experience management brings in consultants to repeat what workers have been telling them for years and then taking the credit.
I think the question "why employers cant simply pay more and pass on the costs to their consumers" was rhetorical. Of course most employers cannot do this because their competitors will undercut them. They can only do it for costs that are imposed on all players, like government mandated minimum wage.
Imho, dense urban driving should be solved similar to limited access roads and parking lots with a a combination of pedestrian super blocks (such that Barcelona has). Deprioritize vehicles in urban settings and segregate them from other (more squishy) users. If you can’t AI solve for edge cases, build infrastructure to avoid them.

ISPC also has first class support for "(array of) structure of arrays", see: https://ispc.github.io/ispc.html#structure-of-array-types

For example:

soa<8> Point pts[...];

declares an array of struct of arrays, where each inner struct array contains 8 elements. This would have the advantage of playing well with the streaming prefetcher if you're working with all fields of the `Point` type, and allowing the compiler to use and increment a single pointer for loading/storing, accessing each field with a small compile time offset (that can get folded into addressing calculations, making them essentially free).

Julia's StructArrays package is also very convenient: https://github.com/JuliaArrays/StructArrays.jl

I can't believe that the Microsoft Teams software automatically reinstalls itself in my login items every time I open it. I don't use it often — mostly when I have calls with people at Microsoft — but this happens without fail every time.

As far as I'm concerned, this makes the Teams software malware. I have never had any other software that repeatedly put itself into my login items that wasn't clearly malware. If I worked on Teams, I would be embarrassed.
Personally I was very unimpressed with this documentary, especially the episode on avocado farming actually. It felt like they were trying to create a story out of nothing.

The fact is that crops take water to grow. All crops do. Avocados are on the higher side when looked at water used per pound (though not the highest), but they are still nowhere near the level of animal products. Avocados are also one of the most (if not the most) calorie-dense fruits, which means that their water per calorie is likely in line with most other fruit.

What exactly was the point Rotten was trying to make? That avocados are popular so now they are being grown more? who cares? You could say the same thing about literally every other fruit and vegetable on the planet.

"It's good to think about what women can do differently to try to protect themselves."

Okay, here are some suggestions. I'm expressing them strongly, because some women don't seem to have understood these things.

1. Don't fuck people that you don't want to fuck.
2. Don't spend time alone with a man that you don't want to fuck, because that man very probably does want to fuck you.
3. Don't share a bedroom or sleep with with a man that you don't want to fuck.
4. Don't go on a "date" with a man if you already know that you don't want to fuck him.
5. Don't get drunk alone with a man that you don't want to fuck.
6. Don't continue fucking a man that you regret fucking the first time.
7. Don't go out of your house by yourself, if you are not an educated adult woman who understands that most male creatures by nature want to have as much sex as possible with as many different attractive young females as possible, and men will attempt to do so by various means ranging from courtship to rape depending on their moral standards.
8. Don't communicate with people that you don't want to communicate with. Tell them loud and clear to stop, block them, or report repeated unwanted communication which is harassment.
9. Don't allow someone to harass you (repeatedly after being told not to). Tell them not to, loud and clear.
10. Don't ignore all of the above, which is very widely known to almost every adult, then publicly complain that a bad man took advantage of you, a helpless and vulnerable victim, and also expect to be respected as an equal.

Yes, I feel sorry for the woman who had a bad and traumatic experience with this man. I have had bad experiences too. But I don't understand how a woman could grow up in this world, with access to caring parents, news, internet, and education, and yet still fall into a trap like this.

It beggars belief, to the point that I would suggest that this was possibly not "date rape", but rather a consensual sexual encounter that the woman did not enjoy and/or regretted. At least I think there is some reasonable doubt. There is a far far way from a regretted relationship or one night stand, to date rape. If in fact this was more of a regretted relationship, I think it is not acceptable to destroy a man's reputation and career by broadcasting the whole experience to the public and judging him guilty of unclear accusations without trial.

Men are not perfect, we are not always nice, we can be manipulative, and we might go to great lengths to get what we want. Women are also like that.
All side projects suffer from this fate once they get serious enough. Suddenly you can't just do the fun stuff; the other 90% work that's more mundane now needs your attention.

This is where you have to decide if this side project should be: abandoned, continued as a slow burner, or become a real business venture requiring serious work and resources.

As a person who habitually creates new side projects of various complexity and then abandons them equally fast, the only advice I can give is: don't let anxiety get you to you no matter how you decide to move forward with this or other side projects.
I think what they're going for is more personalized results -- i.e., don't aggregate my preferences with those of a bunch of click farms.

I think the explicit authorization is the contract you sign that allows for the subscription. It's already pretty risky to loan people money, and your system makes it even riskier. (Consider the business model of cloud providers; you agree to pay for whatever you use, and then they charge you for last month's usage. If you could just not pay, then the business wouldn't really be viable. You'd have to figure out what you're going to use in advance, and pre-pay, and the consequences for getting it wrong by 1 cent would be unnecessary downtime. Cloud providers of course let you pre-pay at a discount, but having both pre-pay and post-pay make a lot of sense. But, we're all paying extra because of the people that walk away at the end of the month and don't pay their bill.)

It would be worthwhile to consider not letting "click agree" create a binding contract. I think I'm in favor of that.

I agree that things like newspapers don't need to be a subscription or have a contract. On the first of the month they should just pop up a dialog that asks if you still want the subscription, and if so, it charges your card for 1 month. I would certainly like that, but it does carry a risk on my end -- if they go out of business on the second of the month, I'm stuck paying for 29 days of the subscription I can't use.

Like I said, the big problem is not being able to cancel. That's why I buy subscriptions through Apple -- there's always a cancel button. I think we should make that mandatory for every subscription provider.

Yes, iNaturalist Seek was the community-based one. It was also regarded well.
I'm not sure how common it is in general, but for people who care about their car's paint it is common, and I imagine people who buy $100k+ cars are probably the type that have their cars detailed regularly by a professional.

Doesn't matter though. It's not in phone manufacturers' best interests to make durable phones. They need to make trendy phones, as that's what the majority have voted for (with their wallets). And Apple users have it the worst, as the lock-in leaves them with no alternative phone manufacturers).

Even with protective cases many flagship phones won't be very useable after 2 years anyway, as the battery life decreases, the OS and apps do more and more things, and flash storage starts to fail/slow.

I’m assuming AirTags just send out Bluetooth advertising packets. Your phone is continuously listening for those anyway to detect devices you own, like your watch and headphone. So that part is “free”.

The power required to process the packet is negligible.

Sending the data back to Apple
could be more significant. But I guess that’s only of the AirTag is “lost”, and probably as part of a bundle of data sent regularly anyway, probably when asking Apple servers about new notifications. What takes power is waking up from sleep to send data. If the CPU is already awake, taking a few extra microseconds to transmit a few more bytes of data is nothing.

So really, I don’t think the energy and data it’s using is anything to be concerned about. It’s a drop in the bucket.

> From 1997 to 2010, an estimated 40,400 children aged <13 years were treated in hospital emergency departments (EDs) for battery-related injuries, including confirmed or possible battery ingestions. Nearly three quarters of the injuries involved children aged ≤4 years; 10% required hospitalization. Battery type was reported for 69% of cases, and of those, button batteries were implicated in 58%. Fourteen fatal injuries were identified in children ranging in age from 7 months to 3 years during 1995–2010. Battery type was reported in 12 of these cases; all involved button batteries.

Yup, beautiful. The TAG/Porsche looked quite similar IIRC.

And, given your nick, the OHC Volvo B18/B20 can't go unmentioned: Dunno if this was standard back in the day or if it was unique to this engine, but it had an interesting combination of materials. The smaller gear on the crankshaft was steel, but the larger one on the camshaft was made out of some weird bakelite-like stuff; as I recall, with some sort of fibrous reinforcement in it.

(OK, if you're not a Swedish motor enthusiast, you may be wondering "WTF does my nick have to do with that?" A: The B18 was used in the Volvo Amazon.)

I am only guessing as to the earlier poster's intent. But, I took the earlier comment to be about distributed system application architecture. The statements make some sense to me if implicitly considering boundaries between the application and DB query engine, rather than the internal elements of the query engine itself.

Through this lens, a pull-based architecture is your conventional N-tier application where the stateless application issues queries and consumes results. The individual consumer (and producer) agents are independent and decoupled, allowed to handle failures with simple restart/retry while in control of their own transactions.

Conversely, a push-based architecture is often rendered into some enterprise message bus with queues and brokers. The applications can only subscribe to the queues and pub/sub system, but lack any real control fault recovery or transactional boundaries.
How does the FTC consume these public comments? I just read a few of them and the quality is very low - rambling, unspecific, non-sensical.
That 1/3 of employees opted to leave the company is eye-popping, but any analysis that ignores just how generous the buyout was (like this article does) are probably going to come to some wrong conclusions.

You don’t have to be disgruntled at all to take a 6 mo or 3 mo salary buyout. (I read 6 mo for people at the company over three years, 3 mo otherwise.) Anything short of highly motivated to stay would have to think seriously about taking that.
Lunr needs the full index on client though, right?

Being able to use fts-5 without the penalty of having to pull down the whole index make it work much better at larger scales, even with the penalty of additional network requests.
Thanks! This bash string escape trick will be really useful for me(1). It is one of the biggest pain points in using cli especially with nested commands like su -c where the actual command is supposed to go inside quotes and becomes hell to quote if it too has nested quotes inside it.

Oh how i wish that bash and every other language would support the Perl's brilliant `q()` and `qq()` for quoting strings. That simple fn really made life very easy and code cleaner.

I think companies need to develop some products for intermediate stages between where we are now and FSD. Here are some ideas.

1. FSD in certain parking lots. Make deals with some major stores that tend to have big parking lots (such Walmart, Target, Home Depot) to map their parking lots and designate specific areas for rider drop off and for unattended parking. Special signage or road markings would be added to the parking lot to identify these areas and how to move between them.

You can drive to one of these lots, go to the drop off area, and get out of your car. The car then can drive itself to the designated parking area while you go in and shop. When you are done, you can summon it and it drives back to the drop off area to get you.

2. FSD on certain stretches of major freeways. E.g., I-10 between Santa Monica and near downtown Los Angeles, or I-5 from where 99 splits off south of Bakersfield up to where the 580 starts and then up that a ways.

3. A service where for a monthly subscription you get FSD or close to it but only on trips between specific points, such as between your home and office.

The way it would work is that you would drive the route several times and the car records it and uploads it to the company. They use that uploaded data to test their FSD software to see if it can handle that particular route, and tweak it as necessary to either handle places it was having trouble or to hard-code special rules.

If the car notices that something has changed and it isn't sure it can handle it, you have to go back to manual driving and the car uploads footage and sensor data and the company fixes it.

Each route would probably have a setup fee and a monthly maintenance fee.

Maybe prices are high for something like a vintage guitar or synth but in my experience everything else is comparable to eBay or whatever.

I sold the vintage synth on Craigslist because it took too long on reverb. I’m glad I didn’t have to pay their fees, though.

As far as I understand Mobileye dropped Tesla because of their reckless marketing. Also they are heavily using cameras but additional sensors for redundancy.
I agree. Its not in decision makers interest to fix education. It's a lot of work and elections won't wait for you to finish. A crap education might even be politically expedient - and I'm sure politicians have been campaigning to fix it for over 5 decades at this point.
Why going through all of that (honest curiosity)? 4 people quit and you had panic attacks just to deliver something for a company that didn’t care much. Wouldn’t it have been easier that the whole team left early on? Your mental health would be way better, as well as of your teammates.
With respect, I think you're confused. But even if I'm right, that's OK, software is complicated, and it took me a while to get these things straight.

Multiple installed emacs packages do not execute their code simultaneously unless they are using something like run-with-timer to schedule tasks on the event loop. Can you give me an example of an emacs package that causes custom elisp to be "running in your buffer" continuously?

For example, org-mode does many complicated things, but only when you ask it to -- i.e. when you issue one of its keybindings, or call one of its functions. Then, you enter a blocking ("synchronous") function call: the main thread is executing the org-mode code and nothing else until it's done. So, if things happen as I'm describing, you can see that it doesn't matter how many packages you have installed: only one of them is taxing the CPU at any one time, and they are not all queuing up work and causing the event loop to get bogged down.

Similarly, swiper, ivy, counsel, magit -- they only do things when you ask them to.

To put this another way: in general, your installed packages are not active simultaneously. Therefore, the performance of your editing operations is not affected by how many packages you use.
Nord has all kinds of problems.

My Nord subscription went from $5/month to $200/month recently. When I complained, the CSR told me to just cancel the account and sign up using the special offer link and a throwaway e-mail address.

That tells me there are deeper problems, and I'm not interested in doing business with that company.
