Some canned sardines are already de-boned, and for most bone-in canned sardines, you can just halve each one length-wise and pull out the spine in one piece. The bones are also totally edible themselves, albeit off-puttingly crunchy to some people.
Varnish seemed really popular a decade ago, but I wonder how it fits the modern web and who's using it today and for what purpose.

The lack of built-in HTTPS seems killer to me. On the client-facing side it needs a separate daemon for TLS termination and on the upstream side there's no TLS support at all unless you're using the paid version.

We can start from the fact that unlike USSR's, US gov't didn't bother itself with production of toilet paper. But by some magic it was available in the States, almost as if some invisible hand...

Claiming that bad economy stats can vindicate failures of a particular economic system is putting the argument upside down.

USSR as a state wasn't poor anyway: it possessed huge deposits of mineral resources, vast cheap, and controlled workforce which wasn't allowed to strike, or even negotiate - so gov't could offset the need to increase QoL for workers for almost indefinite time. It apparently was quite enough to successfully wage a number of proxy wars around the world against mightiest of enemies, support dozens of allied regimes with money, material, and resources.
It’s highly subjective but it’s also certainly not just me.

From [1]:

> Your experience is quite typical. Playing two hands at the same time is completely different than playing both separately.

But the point of learning parts separately is NOT about making it easier to play both hands together. It's about learning all the "other" stuff (like correct hand position, articulation etc.) without having the distraction of the second hand.

From [1] but another person:

> Put another way, instrument playing is a conscious action, controlled by our executive function, and we only have one area of the brain that controls the executive function. Thus, homo sapiens's conscious control is, for better or worse, unitary, and we cannot do two independent tasks at once.

> The same is true for the piano.

From [2]:

> Hands separate practices the aural knowledge, or aural memory; and the intellectual. It practices physical on a smaller level, because you aren't practicing the coordination between two hands, but rather the security of one hand alone. But I think the amount it gives to physical knowledge is small enough that it doesn't really count as a method for improving that knowledge.

It's all a question of politics. Based on what I see there is no doubt that digital currencies are coming. Governments are not going to just give up their currency monopoly, so the only logical consequence is central bank digital currency. But how will it be implemented, that's the question. Digital cash is perfectly feasible, just look at something like Monero. They could build in a central bank fiat lever if they want to, so that they can inflate at will, while still preserving privacy, security, and accountability.

Will this happen? I doubt it. Because the trend goes to ever more authoritarianism. But it could be easily implemented if there were a will to do so. And again, we don't need digital currency for the government to turn against the citizen, many governments around the word manage perfectly fine without it already. Private banking isn't immune to the law. Instead of being scared of regulation, the citizens should lobby for the right regulation. The current financial system already discriminates against us and only aids the wealthy.
What is a Linux? Android? Google? We are not living in a neatly planned world, can’t just name things General Kernel(tm), General Mobile OS and Search Engine. And people like to give names to even inanimate objects, it is marketing, but at the same time you do remember them better that way. Would you rather start Image Editor, or Photoshop? In the former case it may very well just be Paint, while you do know what to expect from the latter. Also, should we as well get rid of icons/logos?

The root cause is that people still have to compete for their livelihood, and cheating is always a viable way for some.

Generally, I think you are conflating/confusing the concept of “byte“ (= smallest unit of memory) with the concept of “character“ resp. “code unit“ (= smallest unit of text encoding). The size of the former depends on the CPU architecture and on modern systems it's always 8 bits. The size of the latter depends on the specific text encoding.

TLDR; Varnish is very proud they use memory-mapped files for cache, instead of managing RAM and disk cache separately.

That said, don't overestimate the OS ability to understand your usage of RAM. The entity with highest insight on that usage is the application.

Maybe there's some fortunate overlap in the case of a caching service (Varnish) using a caching service (OS disk cache / virtual memory). Varnish itself has little clue how their entries will be used beyond what the OS sees.

But in more complex applications that's decidedly not the case. Photoshop for example to this day uses a "scratch disk" separate from virtual memory. In fact you better hope you never use swap file with Photoshop, because it becomes unusable.
I bought a bass recently, which came with three free months of Fender Play [0]. I'm happy with it -- yeah, I've skipped stuff since I already know note values, scales, etc., but I like their progression.

They have a number of different styles of guitar (rock, blues, fingerpicking, etc.) with a 7-day free trial.

Their Facebook group is fantastic, really supportive, with "office hours" live videos taking questions every week.

Which means the fully qualified claim is something like: Musk is the first SNL host[1] with professional diagnosed[2] Asperger's syndrome to be public[3] about it.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Byrne self-diagnosed, musical guest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Humphries guest-star (as Dame Edna), diagnosed.

[2] Either Musk doesn't know about Aykroyd, or doesn't accept that someone might have Asperger's unless they have been professional diagnosed.

[3] Not everyone is public about all of their illnesses. What are the odds that a previous host has Asperger's but didn't think it was relevant to be public about?
I can mostly agree with people's names, especially stuff like cultural variations or things that are basically name prepositions like de/Mac/o etc. That said if you decided to change your name to "JOHN SMITH" don't be surprised if that decision was less respected and you were referred to as "John Smith" following capitalisation norms.

Companies don't get even that assumption for me, sure I'll use "iPhone" because they've won that one and it's the cultural expectation, but the only time I'm using "FREE NOW" is to criticise that decision

Its a question of how much they need to talk together.

My current company has a code base which, if we want to avoid falling into technical bankruptcy, teams will need to spend 35 hours per week talking to other teams. The goal of well-defined interfaces is to reduce that to 2-5 hours per week.

Saying “microservices” is a concise yet oversimplified way to describe what is actually needed: well-defined modules with clearly-visible boundaries.

Agreed. Sexual reproduction suggests a unidirectional acyclic graph.

Unidirectional acyclic graphs also allow for Neanderthals reproducing with humans, for random mutations, for bacteria exchanging genes asexually, and for genes inherited from virus infections. But "tree of life" is just so much more sexy than "unidirectional acyclic graph of life"

Yes?

In my experience, publications and the like do tend to respect the capitalization and other choices of a company/project/etc. with perhaps some exceptions like the ! in Yahoo! and perhaps all caps as in NVIDIA. In the case of Wikipedia, I'd go so far as to say that they're simply wrong if they're ignoring the actual way a company name is officially styled.

Mind you, I'm not necessarily a big fan of case-sensitive everything but here we are.
I think they're referring to sunflower oil's absence of Omega-3s. Per Wikipedia [1]:

> The ratios of omega−6 to omega−3 fatty acids in some common vegetable oils are: canola 2:1, hemp 2–3:1, soybean 7:1, olive 3–13:1, sunflower, flax 1:3, cottonseed (almost no omega−3), peanut (no omega−3), grapeseed oil and corn oil 46:1.

My understanding is that there's some Omega-6:Omega-3 ratio to shoot for, and most western diets are far more biased toward Omega-6, so adding some Omega-3 (sardines) along with a bunch of Omega-6 and no Omega-3 (sunflower oil) would actually work against that goal.

How did I start a flamewar? I didn't attack anyone. I made a comment about structural racism and people started calling me names and attacking me personally, saying I was part of some propaganda team.

Seems like your point of view is that anything that goes along with the US-centric point of view is bad and is flamebait.

Am I not allowed to talk about structural racism? Am I not allowed to share my perspective on current and historical actions by the US?

Or am I only allowed to say, "Yes, the US is perfect. We are all good here. We have no problems and have never had any problems."

Might as well not even have a discussion board at that point. Just links with no comments allowed.

Show HN: Save, annotate and organize podcasts, blog posts, newsletters, videos
I am both excited and terrified by the vast amount of high quality learning resources available online.
Indeed, while I've learned so much for free online, it has also been hard to manage the information I encounter. More precisely it takes important mental effort to save, organize and annotate all the podcasts, blog posts, newsletters, articles, videos and other resources that are interesting.
I have built and used Shelf personally for 2 weeks now and I am impressed at how efficient it has been in helping me convert information into knowledge more efficiently: I now save almost every resource with a glimmer of interest for later, but then ruthlessly prioritize resources that truly seem important, and finally systematically take notes for the very best resources.
Curious to know how you deal with information overload and hope Shelf can help!
I have eaten 1 tin of Sardines everyday as my first meal for over 6 months. It takes the guess the work out of what to eat and the nutrition is off the charts, it basically replaces a handful of supplements. I've been using cronometer to track my diet and between the Sardines, a huge salad and a hunk of steak or liver, I only ever take the odd Magnesium supplement. Totally eliminated my need to buy expensive supplements. As it turns out, I find that 1500-1800 Kcal is more than enough everyday to leave me feeling stuffed and content and the Sardines alone keep me satiated for hours, what a superfood. Today's the last day to save $3 on a 6 pack of Sardines at Costco, I've bought about 6 cases over the last few weeks (180 + cans) to carry me for the next 6 months.

Anyone who wants to lose weight and get healthy, this is the food that will make a huge difference.

Lower power factor means more voltage drop over distance as well as more power consumed per unit of work. For a AC 120v 20A single-phase circuit that is 100 feet long with a power factor of 1 (electric heat is pf 1, purely resistive) you can use #12 wire. For the same circuit with a very inefficient inductive load (a crappy motor) that has a power factor of .5, you need to use #8 wire, which is 4x larger (cross section area) than #12.

It also requires more power to extract the same amount of work as a more efficient power factor motor. Low power factor equipment wastes electricity and requires more copper.

In practice, motors in the US are generally .75 pf (fractional horsepower) or better, .90 pf by 20 HP, and .95 pf as HP approaches 500. These efficiency standards combined with variable-frequency drives means that new electric motors are pretty efficient at using power to do work.

Someone who doesn't understand finance and doesn't know how to invest is bound to lose the money sooner or later. There is always fraud, there's always wastefulness. How many generations it takes is irrelevant, that number four is just a meme that gets repeated because someone wrote this in an investment book once, and people think it sounds about right. It's not based on science.

It's an extreme example. But you don't have to just look at billionaires, it's easy to observe this all around you with families that are worth much less. And it would be very concerning if it were any other way.

I love seeing the weirdo CDATA thingy in there! CDATA ftw!

E.g., you've got this enormous spec for SVG which includes CSS, but that CSS has syntax inside a style tag which could break XHTML parsers.

Amateurs out there are probably thinking, "Well, why not just compromise in the spec and tell implementers to do the same thing that HTML does to parse style tags?" Well, professionals know that cannot work for myriad reasons you can read about if you take out a college loan and remain sedentary for the required duration.

The right approach is to throw the CSS stuff inside CDATA tags to tell the parser not to parse it so things don't break. That is the way sensible, educated professionals solve this problem.

I'm only kidding!

For inline SVGs the HTML5 parser simply says, "Parse this gunk as HTML5, and use sane defaults to interpret the parsed junk in the correct svg namespace so that all the child thingies in that namespace just work."

Which it does.

Unless you're going to grab the innerHTML of the inline SVG and shove it into a file to be used later as an SVG image.

In that case you cross the invisible county line into XHTML territory where the sheriff is waiting to throw you in jail for violating the CDATA rule. In that case the XHTML parser hidden in the guts of the browser doles out the justice of an error in place of your image. Because that is the way sensible, educated professionals solve this problem. :)

My holy grail-- how do I use DOM methods to create a CDATA element to shove my style into? If I could know this then I can jump my Dodge Charger back and forth into XHTML without ever getting caught.
Yes my bad ,

Actually, I would say 18th century was definitely quite happening. Yes, we did not see much GDP growth. However, this was a century where tides shifted. While the Mughal empire and Qing Dynasty accounting for probably 55% of the world's GDP at the start of the century by the end of the century we see Europe dominating the whole world (the Mughal Empire was taken over by the British and the seeds of the opium war were being sown by the end of the century). The 18th century is also probably the first time when we see the entire world as a single unit. Thanks to advances in sailing, European traders were all over the place. In the 1750s we see what is probably the first world scale conflict with the Seven Year War. For the first time in human History politics in one continent affects the politics of another continent. The fact is the world was changing faster than ever before in the 18th century. I'm pretty sure its hard not to feel the winds of change if you were alive at the time.
Standard QM indeed doesn't say anything about distances. But this doesn't automatically imply that QM is non-local. QM is not a theory of everything, it's just some subset of rules that we know about the Universe. Though, it's hard to unite QM with our classical understanding of locality.

Or perhaps you have managed to keep the joy and music related. I've seen people who learned piano in music school and as soon as they have passed theier final exams they forgot about it and never came back to piano because they learned to hate it during their "education". Contrary to that I said "no" to a bad teacher and enjoy plaing music to this day. I do not have a perfect training but still enjoy to learn and play when I can.

I believe though such "hard" choice should be avoided if possible. One should have a good teacher and with a good teacher you do not need to "force" anything because it is a joy to learn.

Unfortunately I didn't have access to such teacher so I had to learn by myself and it's not easy because when you stuck you have to figure out how to move forward. It happens from time to time and right now for instance I am really puzzled about what to learn next and I do not know where to get a good advice that is "workable" in my current situation.
Thanks for taking the time to explain. This is very helpful :)
